Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
That morning, Luo Can finished his night fishing, packed up his fishing rod, and went to his disciples' courtyard.
Xiao Xiao is all ready.
The little girl changed into a light training outfit, her dark green braids were neatly tied, a small water bottle hung from her waist, and a mini backpack was slung over her back. She looked both cute and dashing. She was excitedly walking around in the yard, occasionally tiptoeing to look outside, her eyes full of anticipation.
Behind her, Tang Ya sat on a stone bench, her hands supporting her chin, looking at her with envy, her dark eyes showing a clear hint of disappointment.
Luo Can walked over and ruffled Tang Ya's hair:
"Focus on your cultivation. Once you break through level ten, I will guide you to obtain your First Spirit Ring."
"Yes!" Tang Ya nodded vigorously, the disappointment in her eyes vanishing and replaced by determination. She jumped off the stone bench, dashed out of the courtyard, found a quiet spot, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating the Purple Demon Eye.
She needs to be faster, even faster.
Luo Can then took Xiao Xiao's hand and led her to the lakeside.
Qian Renxue was already waiting there. She was dressed in a simple black Fitted Outfit, her long hair tied in a high ponytail, revealing her fair neck. The morning light shone on her, giving her a faint golden hue.
"Master's wife!" Xiao Xiao ran over happily and hugged Qian Renxue's leg.
Qian Renxue bent down and picked her up, then looked at Luo Can: "Then let's set off."
"Mm." Luo Can nodded, walked up to Xiao Xiao, and ruffled her hair. "Remember, when hunting for Spirit Ring, listen to your master's wife in everything. No being willful, and no running around."
"I understand, Master!" Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously.
Luo Can then looked at Qian Renxue and instructed her, "With Xiao Xiao's current physique, she can probably absorb nine hundred to twelve hundred years' worth of Spirit Ring. When searching, pay close attention to defensive or strength-type Spirit Beast."
"Understood." Qian Renxue smiled slightly, and six black wings slowly unfurled behind her. She held Xiao Xiao in her arms, and with a gentle flap of her wings—
Swish!
The two transformed into a streak of black light, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the morning light.
Luo Can stood there, watching them leave until the dark figure completely disappeared from sight, before turning back to the courtyard.
The disciples' training continues.
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were practicing together, while Tang Ya was still cultivating her Purple Demon Eye in a corner, her eyes gleaming with a faint purple hue.
Luo Can observed them for a while, pointed out their shortcomings one by one, and gave them targeted guidance. It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that he and Ju Zi left the Fate Defying Valley of Fate and headed to the Fate Defying Pavilion in Baican Village.
When we arrived at Baican Village, the sun was already high in the sky.
The village remained quiet, but the faint clanging sounds coming from the direction of the Soul Tool Hall could be heard. As soon as Ju Zi reached the village entrance, she eagerly ran towards the Soul Tool Hall, calling out back as she ran:
" A-Can, I'm going to find Old Lou to discuss the mass production of the Fire Starter Mark I! Remember to call me for lunch!"
"I understand." Luo Can smiled and shook his head, watching her figure disappear around the corner before turning and walking towards the Medicine Hall.
The aroma of herbs filled the air Medicine Hall.
The Yang Clan disciples were methodically sorting, drying, and preparing basic medicines from the medicinal herbs. Their movements were skillful and their expressions focused, clearly indicating that they had adapted to the work rhythm here.
The innermost Medicine Room is the Alchemy area.
The temperature here is significantly higher, and the air is filled with a rich medicinal fragrance and faint Soul Power Wave. Yang Wudi and several high-ranking Yang Clan are stationed here, either guarding the alchemy furnace, preparing special medicinal solutions, or refining pills. Currently, only they have this capability.
Luo Can found Yang Wudi in the deepest part of the Alchemy area.
He was holding a white-blue pill, bringing it to his nose and sniffing it gently. His eyes were closed, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he were carefully discerning every subtle difference in the pill's fragrance. After a moment, he opened his eyes, his fingertips circulating soul power as he probed into the pill, checking for the integration of medicinal power and any remaining impurities.
Finally, he nodded in satisfaction and carefully placed the pills into a jade box beside him. Inside the jade box lay seven or eight identical pills, each round and plump, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.
"Not bad." Luo Can's voice came from behind.
Yang Wudi turned his head, saw Luo Can, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He picked up the jade box and quickly walked to Luo Can:
"Master, I have now fully mastered the recipe for the Healing Pills you gave me. This is a new batch I refined today, and the quality is acceptable."
Luo Can took the jade box and scanned it with his spiritual power.
The pills were perfectly round, evenly colored, potent, and contained very few impurities. Judging from his current understanding, these Injury Recovery Pill could easily heal most injuries at the Soul Ancestor level.
"Indeed quite good." Luo Can nodded, handing the jade box back to him. "Keep up the good work. Once you can consistently refine pills of this quality, I'll give you a new Pill Recipe."
Yang Wudi rubbed his hands together, a glint of longing flashing in his eyes:
"Then... could I take a look at the Mystic Water Pill?"
He longed for that divine pill that could Cleansing Marrow and Washing Meridians and enhance his Innate Soul Power. Now that he could Injury Recovery Pill stably, he couldn't wait to challenge himself with even higher-level pills.
Upon hearing this, Luo Can smiled and lightly touched his Storage Ring with his finger.
A cherry-sized, deep blue pill appeared in his palm.
The moment the pill appeared, the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to drop slightly. A light mist swirled around the pill's surface, carrying a refreshing herbal fragrance. Just smelling it was enough to invigorate one's spirit.
Yang Wudi's breathing quickened instantly.
He stared intently at the pill, his eyes gleaming with infatuation, as if he were looking at the most precious work of art in the world.
"Good... good pill!" His voice trembled, and he almost lunged forward.
Luo Can handed him the Mystic Water Pill:
"You can study it first. As for the Pill Recipe... I'll give it to you next time."
Of course, he doesn't have the Pill Recipe for the Mystic Water Pill yet—that's something he'll get from Fishing later. But he'll catch it someday.
"Mmm!" Yang Wudi was overjoyed, carefully taking the Mystic Water Pill and holding it in his palm as if it were a priceless treasure. He examined the white patterns on the surface of the pill with great fascination, not even noticing when Luo Can left.
Inside the council chamber, Ye Qingyu was organizing files.
Upon seeing Luo Can enter, she put down her pen, stood up, and bowed. " Pavilion Master."
" Sister Ye, there's no need for such formalities." Luo Can waved his hand, sat down opposite her, and got straight to the point, " The Spirit Awakening Ceremony is over. In Baican Village, could you please have someone compile a list of the children who have awakened the White Silkworm Martial Soul and gather them together to teach them Martial Soul Theory and cultivation?"
"Okay, leave it to me." Ye Qingyu nodded without the slightest hesitation.
"We can also visit the surrounding villages," Luo Can continued. "We can bring back those children who have awakened their martial spirits and give them a try. We can teach them and see if we can select a group of outstanding talents."
"Understood." Ye Qingyu nodded again.
She knew Luo Can Can's methods well—even children without Innate Soul Power, or with extremely low Innate Soul Power, could find a way to embark on the path of cultivation in his hands. Therefore, she didn't ask any more questions, but simply kept this matter in mind.
After briefly inquiring about some sect affairs, Luo Can got up and left.
He strolled around Baican Village, looking at the increasingly prosperous village, and a faint sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.
As evening fell, he returned to the Fate Defying Valley.
Late at night, Luo Can arrived at the lakeside, a silvery fishing rod gathering in his hand, the fishing line slicing through the night sky and disappearing into the water.
Five hours of Fishing time passed quietly.
[Ding! This Fishing has ended. Overall rating: Good+. Reward: 15,000 Points ]
[ Points: 776500]
Next, he dismantled another batch of unusable items. With a flash of light, his Points increased again, eventually settling at 800,000.
"Eight hundred thousand Points." Luo Can nodded in satisfaction, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
Outside the Sunset Forest.
Two figures, like two unsheathed divine swords, hung in the night sky.
Ji Juechen, dressed in snow-white robes, held the Judgment Sword. The sword gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light, and with each swing, it unleashed a frost-like aura that froze the air and solidified space.
Chen Xin, dressed in white, held the Seven Kill Sword in his hand. The azure Seven Kill Sword Intent soared to the sky, and with each strike, the sword energy split even the moonlight in two.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sword light clashed, sword energy crisscrossed.
Each collision between the two produced a blinding burst of light, illuminating the night sky as if it were daytime. The terrifying aftershocks of their sword energy swept across the land like a whirlwind, clearing away most of the surrounding forest. Towering ancient trees fell in swathes like straw, and deep furrows were plowed into the ground.
Further away, Dugu Bo covered his forehead, watching the two figures constantly clashing in front of him, his lips twitching.
He silently retreated another hundred meters, muttering to himself, "Luckily, they didn't cause any trouble inside the forest... otherwise, my Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well would have been in serious trouble!"
That night, countless people were alarmed.
Within Heaven Dou City, countless Spirit Master looked up towards the east. The Spirit Hall Sacred Hall, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the eyes and ears of various forces all saw the two sword lights tearing through the night sky.
Who wins and who loses?
Nobody knows.
Only the boundless sword energy lingered in the night sky for Jiujiu.
