Profound Qi Sword Three-Hit Combo

It was already the afternoon of the second day when Ning Xiaochuan returned to Begonia Manor.

Ning Xiaochuan placed the severely injured old man he had carried back onto an Ice Bed in the center of the small lake.

This Ice Bed was carved from a single piece of Ice Stone. Martial Practitioners cultivating on an Ice Bed could calm their minds, settle their Qi, and protect their blood. It was a treasure for Martial Dao cultivation, and only the disciples of large families and great Marquis's Mansions could afford to set up an Ice Stone bed.

Minister Tian was extremely severely injured and had now fallen into a state of Fetal Breathing False Death. His six senses were sealed, and he was completely unable to heal himself.

This required external assistance.

Ning Xiaochuan used Lock Nails to nail Minister Tian's Spine again and used Silk Thread to help him stitch up his wounds.

Rolls of White Cloth wrapped Minister Tian's entire body tightly, leaving no gaps, wrapping him like a Mummy.

Yu Yan stood by the side, continuously handing various tools to Ning Xiaochuan. She watched as Ning Xiaochuan used a Saber to cut open Minister Tian's Flesh and Blood, used Lock Nails to nail bones, used needle and thread to stitch Flesh and Blood, and even stitched a piece of skull back with a needle.

Ning Xiaochuan's hands became bloody, the scene was extremely gory, making her vomit several times and almost faint.

"Young... Young Master, are you done?" Yu Yan's face was pale, and her fair forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

Ning Xiaochuan washed his hands with clean water and said, "Hand me the Blood Accumulation Elixir and the Bone Reconnection Elixir."

Yu Yan handed him two small Jade Bottles.

Ning Xiaochuan poured out the two drops of Profound Medicine liquid from the Jade Bottles onto his palm, which was wrapped in Martial Dao Profound Qi. The two drops of Profound Medicine liquid spread out, merged into the Martial Dao Profound Qi, and were injected into Minister Tian's body.

The light of the Martial Dao Profound Qi flickered twice on Minister Tian's body before being absorbed by his injured body.

Yu Yan's lips moved, and she said, "Young Master, can this person still live?"

Ning Xiaochuan shook his head and said, "If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be dead. However, this person is a Martial Dao Expert, and his body is many times stronger than ordinary people. If his Will is firm enough, there should still be a possibility of him surviving. This is all I can do. The rest is up to him."

Ning Xiaachuan gave Yu Yan thirty thousand Small Coins and told her to use them all to buy Nourishing Heart Grass and Fracture Rejoining Bone Grass. Then, he walked to the Blood Toad Wood Tree himself and continued cultivating to recover the Profound Qi consumed in his body.

Ning Xiaochuan took out a Short Saber and cut off a one-jin piece of wood chips from the Blood Toad Wood Tree.

The blood-red wood chips were crystal clear, like blood gemstones, cool to the touch, and emitted a woody fragrance.

"Bang!"

Ning Xiaochuan used Martial Dao Profound Qi to shatter this piece of Blood Toad Wood into wood powder, then absorbed it into his Blood, transported it to his Heart, and began refining it.

It took a full day and night for Ning Xiaochuan to completely refine this one jin of Blood Toad Wood into Blood Toad Elixir.

He refined dozens of drops of Blood Toad Elixir in total, condensing into a mass of blood-red Treasure liquid the size of a pigeon egg, its color even brighter red than Blood.

If he could transport this Blood Toad Elixir out of his body, it could sell for at least eight hundred thousand Small Coins.

But before Ning Xiaochuan could transport this Blood Toad Elixir out of his body, it was absorbed by the Demon Sword in his Blood Aperture.

The Blood Aperture and Heart Aperture began chasing each other again, forming a Taiji pattern, rotating frantically, like a vortex stimulating the Earth Martial Essence Qi in his body to convert into Martial Dao Profound Qi.

The Demon Sword absorbing this mass of Blood Toad Elixir caused Ning Xiaochuan's Cultivation to increase sharply again.

Ning Xiaochuan sat cross-legged under the Blood Toad Wood, surrounded by countless Martial Dao Profound Qi. The Profound Qi formed wisps of smoke-like airflow, enveloping his body. Any creature that approached within three zhang of his body would be attacked by the Profound Qi.

"Whoosh—"

The speed of Blood flow in Ning Xiaochuan's body was increasing again, becoming faster and faster.

It took him three full days to absorb three catties of Blood Toad Wood.

His blood flow rate reached six Celestial Orbits per minute, and his body was incredibly strong. Now, even if he picked up a stone and smashed it against his head, only the stone would shatter, not his head.

Now, condensing the "Profound Qi Sword" had become quite easy for him; he could condense the Profound Qi Sword with a casual wave of his hand.

"Profound Qi Sword!"

Ning Xiaochuan clasped his hands together, and a long sword condensed from Profound Qi appeared in his palm. He waved it and slashed towards the surface of the small lake, the Sword Qi briefly parting the lake water.

"Profound Qi Sword!"

In an instant, Ning Xiaochuan condensed a second Profound Qi Sword and slashed it into the lake.

"Profound Qi Sword!"

After the second Profound Qi Sword disappeared, Ning Xiaochuan immediately condensed a third Profound Qi Sword and slashed it into the lake again.

Profound Qi Sword, Three-Hit Combo.

The lake water surged wildly, slapping against the shore, startling the fish in the lake, which all surfaced.

At the Profound Qi Seventh Level, after Ning Xiaochuan used the Profound Qi Sword once, he needed half an hour to recover his Profound Qi.

Now, he could unleash the Profound Qi Sword three times in a row in a very short period, one sword after another, with the power stacking layer by layer, each sword stronger than the last.

This was the strongest Killing Move he could currently unleash. He named this move "Profound Qi Sword Three-Hit Combo."

Of course, this was the strongest Killing Move he could unleash with his current Cultivation. After his Cultivation improved, he might be able to unleash a "Four-Hit Combo," a "Five-Hit Combo"... As long as the Profound Qi in his body was strong enough, even reaching a "Nine-Hit Combo" was possible.

"I can now make my blood circulate six Celestial Orbits within my body in one minute, but to reach the Profound Qi Ninth Level, I must make my blood circulate seven Celestial Orbits within one minute."

It seemed like only a difference of one Celestial Orbit, but in reality, the difference was quite significant.

This was like one person being able to run a hundred meters in seven seconds, while another could run a hundred meters in six seconds. It seemed like a difference of one second, but to break through this one second, one's physical fitness must be raised to a completely new level.

"Although I am currently only at the Profound Qi Eighth Level of Cultivation, if I use the Profound Qi Sword Three-Hit Combo, it is enough to contend with Martial Practitioners at the Profound Qi Ninth Level. Moreover, with the Blood Toad Wood, I should be able to break through to the Profound Qi Ninth Level very soon." Ning Xiaochuan's gaze was sharp, and he became increasingly determined on this path of a strong practitioner.

Although he did not go to the Five Desolate Mountain Range for training with the talented disciples of the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion, he would do better than those talented disciples and be stronger than them.

The walls of Begonia Manor were seven zhang high, comparable to the city walls of a small city.

On the city wall, inside a tower, sat an Elder and a middle-aged man wearing heavy Armor. The two were drinking wine.

The surrounding Guards had all been sent away.

At this moment, there were only the two of them inside the tower.

This Elder was Steward Qiu of Begonia Manor. Although he was not young, he did not appear senile. Instead, he had the demeanor of a master. His Cultivation had reached the peak of the Profound Qi Eighth Level, and he managed everything within Begonia Manor.

And the middle-aged man wearing heavy Armor was the Guard Commander of Begonia Manor, Ye Chenglong.

Ye Chenglong commanded a Five Hundred Guard Army under him, and his own Cultivation had reached the Profound Qi Ninth Level. He had extremely high prestige within Begonia Manor.

Before Ning Xiaochuan came to Begonia Manor, he was practically the Manor Lord of Begonia Manor; everything in Begonia Manor was decided by him.

Steward Qiu moved a black wooden box over, smiled lightly, and said, "This is something Fourth Master asked me to hand over to Commander Ye. Fourth Master said that if you work for him, Commander Ye will not lack benefits in the future."

Ye Chenglong lifted a corner of the wooden box, and a blue light shot out from inside. It was a box of Azure Gold, at least a hundred taels.

Ye Chenglong's heart pounded violently. A hundred taels of Azure Gold was comparable to a million Small Coins, a considerable fortune that made his heart flutter. He said, "It is my honor to work for Fourth Master. Does Fourth Master have any instructions?"

Steward Qiu whispered, "Fourth Master said that there is an expert helping Sickly Ning from behind the scenes, and he hopes we can cooperate with him to find this expert."

Ye Chenglong's eyes narrowed, and he was suddenly startled. He said, "Fourth Master suspects that expert is hiding inside Begonia Manor?"

Steward Qiu's eyes were as sharp and ruthless as a hawk's. He said, "Recently, Sickly Ning ordered that no one is allowed to enter the Purple Qi Garden where he lives. There must be some secret hidden in that garden. We need to find a time to go in and investigate."

Ye Chenglong sneered and nodded. He said, "He hasn't left his house these past few days. It won't be easy to sneak in without anyone knowing!"

Steward Qiu said, "Then we can only find a way to lure him out of the Purple Qi Garden so we can investigate the secret hidden within."

"What method should we use?" Ye Chenglong pondered.

While Steward Qiu and Ye Chenglong were in secret discussion, below the city wall, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth was slowly walking towards Begonia Manor.

This youth was Murong Wushuang.

He had specially changed into a slightly cleaner outfit today, but there were still several patches on his clothes, which had been washed countless times.

In his hand, he carried a large hen, its legs tied with straw, held upside down.

The hen kept clucking!

Murong Wushuang had been cultivating the Turtle Breath Immovable Skill these past few days and had made some progress. His cultivation had broken through to the Profound Qi Eighth Level. Today, he had specially come to visit Ning Xiaochuan.

He thought it would be too embarrassing to come empty-handed! He had to bring a gift.

So, he stole the large hen raised by Three-Fingered Lin next door. Early in the morning, he carried the hen and came outside Begonia Manor to visit Ning Xiaochuan.

Murong Wushuang stood below the tall city wall, looking at the large vermillion gate in front of him. He said, "Damn, these are really rich people. This manor probably has several hundred servants alone!" He called out to the city tower, "Hey! I say, such a large manor, don't tell me there isn't even a doorkeeper?"
