Qi Chuan in the Void where the sword light had not yet dissipated, his aura surging erratically.

His dark, dark spirit sword had somehow returned to its sheath, but the twelve sword pellets still shone brightly.

He tried his best to keep his face calm, but anger was gradually rising in his eyes.

"It's that Jade Tiger Sea-Reversing Sword Light again."

Having practiced swordsmanship for a long time, he naturally knew the origin of this sword light.

This sword technique is the signature move of Thunder Pool Jade Tiger Marquis, possessing violent Killing Power and said to be indestructible to anything within its realm.

He had previously transformed into an avatar to go to Deer-Sleeping Peak, but this sword light shattered his avatar. At that time Qi Chuan felt that the sword light was indeed extraordinary, but it was not enough to withstand his Mangchuan Sword Curtain, after all, the gap between his realm and Chen Lingxi's was huge.

But he never expected that this time Chen Lingxi's Jade Tiger Sword Light would be even more violent than last time.

And then there's that Thunder-Prison Heaven Instant Fruit Divine Ability...

"The Great Prison Furnace..."

Qi Chuan narrowed his eyes.

The three disciples of Sword-Illuminating Mystic Peak behind him were already showing surprise and astonishment.

At the First Profound Realm, the sword light could actually shatter Senior Brother Qi's sword pellet?

The Primordial Spirit Bearer Sword Dao at Deer-Sleeping Peak is truly extraordinary.

At this moment, the Sword Qi that Qi Chuan had just restrained began to slowly circulate again.

This sword intent was like a deep pool with a sunken stone, like an ancient well without waves, yet the Dao Origin contained within it was profound and refined, far stronger than the sword curtain from before.

At the Dao Foundation Middle Stage, two Profound Root stood atop his Dao Platform.

Qi Chuan said, "Junior Uncle's sword strike certainly shows some skill."

He paused, his eyes gradually turning cold. "But does Junior Uncle really think that by simply breaking through my Mangchuan Sword Curtain with a single sword strike, he can surpass me, Qi Chuan, in the art of swordsmanship?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sword Qi around him surged suddenly, shattering all the clouds within a hundred feet of him!

The speed at which the sword energy rises is extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, a murderous aura had filled the air!

Chen Lingxi stood still, his expression unchanged.

A Second Profound at the Dao Foundation Middle Stage, possessing two Profound Root on his Dao Platform, three great Divine Ability, and an extremely profound foundation!

"If he truly attacks at the Dao Foundation Middle Stage Dao Origin, I will have an extremely difficult time defeating him, however..."

As someone who never takes risks, he probed his Dao Origin into the Hongdong Bag.

If Qi Chuan were to act recklessly, he would immediately activate the talisman bestowed upon him by True Person Xiang Shu to suppress and kill him!

At that very moment.

Zhu Mi was standing next to Qi Chuan, sensed Qi Chuan's killing intent and immediately channeled her Divine Sense into Qi Chuan's ear without making a sound.

"Senior Brother Qi Chuan, this is Southern Luminary Peak after all. If you fight with someone here and alert the strong people on the peak, it might not be a good thing for you."

"Be patient."

"If you really want to cause trouble for this junior uncle, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Let him off this time; no one will look down on you because of it.

Qi Chuan remained silent for a moment.

His aura remained as deep and profound as ever, and the Dao Origin of the Dao Foundation Middle Stage Realm continued to surge around him.

His gaze was sharp as a knife, as if he were weighing something.

After a long while, he slowly withdrew that aura, and the sword intent flowing around his body also gradually subsided until it finally fell into complete silence.

Qi Chuan returned to his original spot, standing with his hands behind his back amidst the clouds.

He turned around, his voice leisurely reaching our ears.

"I have taken note of what Qi Chuan Uncle said today."

You and I will have a chance to meet again.

Having said that, he flicked his sleeves, and the clouds beneath his feet suddenly intensified, lifting him and the three disciples of Sword-Illuminating Mystic Peak behind him into the air, soaring straight up into the surging sea of clouds.

Before long, the cloud had disappeared into the distance.

On Southern Luminary Peak, the hundreds of Divine Sense also dispersed in astonishment.

Zhu Mi simply nodded slightly to Chen Lingxi as a greeting, and then rode away on the clouds.

In a short while, the clouds returned to the sky above the Weaving Medicine Valley, but there was no one there anymore.

Chen Lingxi withdrew her gaze from the clouds, slowly turned around, and was about to leave.

Just then, the gray-white array in front of the Weaving Medicine Valley suddenly cracked open from its center.

A stream of air, mixed with a rich medicinal fragrance and a bitter herbal scent, slowly flowed out from within.

A middle-aged man in a gray-white Daoist robe slowly walked out from the gap.

The middle-aged man was thin, with slightly high cheekbones, and unremarkable in appearance.

But his eyes were very bright and clear.

This man was none other than the Daoist Qiaohe.

Daoist Qiaohe stepped out of the array, first glancing at the lingering clouds in the distance before turning his gaze back to Chen Lingxi.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"Your junior uncle from Deer-Sleeping Peak has certainly made things lively in front of my Weaving Medicine Valley today."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lingxi bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Qiaohe."

Daoist Qiaohe waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. I recognize Qi Chuan from earlier."

He came here today to make things difficult for you, yet you managed to pierce through his sword barrier with a single strike. This is a sight I haven't seen in this Weaving Medicine Valley for a long time.

Chen Lingxi replied, "Senior, you flatter me."

The Daoist Qiaohe didn't say much about Qi Chuan, but simply stepped aside and gestured towards the array.

"Junior Uncle, you have graced my Weaving Medicine Valley with your presence, presumably for matters concerning alchemy."

Please come inside to speak.

Chen Lingxi was slightly taken aback.

The two disciples guarding the valley just now clearly said that Daoist Qiaohe was receiving distinguished guests and could not see anyone.

But at this moment, the Daoist priest personally came out of the valley to invite him, without the slightest hint of politeness or refusal.

Chen Lingxi quickly understood the situation.

It seems that Shi Xi has already finished refining that batch of pills.

Without further hesitation, he bowed to Daoist Qiaohe again, then followed him through the array and into the Weaving Medicine Valley.

The area inside and outside the Weaving Medicine Valley is completely different.

Within that array, the air was filled with a rich, lingering scent of grass and trees.

The valley floor is wide and flat, with countless kinds of spirit medicine growing on the cliffs on both sides. Their leaves are either curled or unfurled, red or green, each displaying its own unique color.

In the center of the valley, on a stone platform, sits a large furnace.

The furnace was about ten feet tall, with an overall bronze color. The furnace body was engraved with extremely complex runes. Although the firelight had dimmed considerably, a wisp of extremely fine golden-purple medicinal vapor still rose from the furnace mouth, condensing and not dissipating.

The Daoist Qiaohe led Chen Lingxi to a stone table on one side of the valley and invited him to sit down.

On the stone table, two celadon cups were already set out, each containing a bowl of light-colored spiritual tea.

"This is produced in the valley and is called [Clear-Heart Tea]. It can clear away distracting thoughts."

The Daoist Qiaohe sat down on the other side of the stone table, poured himself a cup, and then poured one for Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi picked up the teacup and took a sip. She found the tea to be slightly bitter at first, but with a refreshing and sweet aftertaste, which did indeed have a calming and soothing effect.

He put down his teacup and said, "Fellow Daoist, I have come here today to ask you for a medicinal pill."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Qiaohe asked, "May I ask what kind of elixir you have come for, Uncle-Master?"

"[Heaven-Sensing Spirit Medicine]," Chen Lingxi replied.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Qiaohe laughed and said, "I do indeed have the Heaven-Sensing Spirit Medicine."

The efficacy of this medicine lies in its ability to briefly illuminate the workings of Heaven-Illuminating, and to help cultivators comprehend the great Divine Ability.

Junior Uncle has already reached third place on the One-Mystic Ranking, taken True Person Xiang Shu of Deer-Sleeping Peak as his master, and cultivates a great supernatural Divine Ability of the universe...

He paused, then looked at Chen Lingxi: "Junior Uncle, did you come here to cultivate the [Heavenly-Law Edict]?"

Chen Lingxi nodded readily. "Exactly."

"This great Divine Ability is too profound, and very few people can master it." As the Daoist Qiaohe spoke, he raised his hand and summoned a sandalwood medicine box from beside the Chu Gold Great Furnace deep in the valley. The box flew over on its own and landed steadily on the stone table.

The lid was gently opened, revealing a jade bottle lying quietly inside.

The jade bottle was about three inches tall, with no decorations on its body, only a strip of cinnabar sealing the opening.

But when Daoist Qiaohe held the jade bottle in his palm and tilted it slightly, Chen Lingxi clearly sensed that a very mysterious aura was slowly flowing out of the jade bottle.

Upon Chen Lingxi this aura, Chen Lingxi's deepest understanding of the Heavenly-Law Edict suddenly became more active.

That feeling was like the "rules" he glimpsed in the afterglow of that Mystic Light when he first obtained the Heaven-Grown Jade.

However, this aura was now much stronger and more direct.

Daoist Qiaohe placed the jade bottle in the center of the stone table and slowly said, "The Heaven-Sensing Spirit Medicine is right here."

"Then I gave it to my junior uncle."

Chen Lingxi's heart stirred.

Is it that easy?

This special grade-three elixir is truly priceless; many Dao Foundation Middle Stage Establishment cultivators would go bankrupt to obtain even one.

He thought for a moment, then stood up and bowed to the Daoist Qiaohe: "May I ask what you wish to exchange, friend?"

Daoist Qiaohe waved his hand and said, "For my junior uncle, this might be the perfect opportunity; for me, it's just a batch of pills."

He paused slightly, a deeper meaning creeping into his gaze as he looked at Chen Lingxi:

"As for compensation... let's not discuss that for now."

Chen Lingxi narrowed her eyes slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

"Therefore, Chen Lingxi will remember this favor."

He did not refuse, but solemnly bowed to Daoist Qiaohe again, accepted the mutton-fat jade bottle with both hands, and put it into his Chaos Bag.

The Daoist Qiaohe nodded slightly and said no more.

Chen Lingxi asked a few more questions about the key points of taking the Heaven-Sensing Spirit Medicine, and Daoist Qiaohe answered them one by one.

After Chen Lingxi had memorized all the key points, the Daoist Qiaohe personally got up and escorted him back to the valley entrance.

In the distance, three great suns shone brightly, illuminating the pre-twilight sky with a golden-red glow.

Chen Lingxi cupped his hands in greeting to Daoist Qiaohe, then took to the clouds and flew towards Deer-Sleeping Peak.

After Chen Lingxi had gone far away, Shi Xi quietly emerged from the valley.

Daoist Qiaohe was somewhat puzzled. "Shi Xi Fellow Daoist Shixi wants to help that junior uncle of Deer-Sleeping Peak, and is even willing to exchange treasures for a Heaven-Sensing Spirit Medicine from me, why not just say so and establish a good relationship?"

Shi Xi's long hair fluttered in the wind. She shook her head and muttered to herself, "Consider this repaying the favor I owe Sun-Watching Peak."

At this moment, a strong wind swept through the sky, and the sea of clouds beneath Chen Lingxi surged like waves.

Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged on the cloud, his mind churning with thoughts.

The sandalwood medicine box was now lying quietly in his Chaos Bag.

Why did Daoist Qiaohe give me this Heaven-Sensing Spirit Medicine?

Chen Lingxi pondered this question repeatedly in her mind.

He had no reason to be so generous.

Even for a third-grade Alchemist, a batch of Heaven-Sensing Spirit Medicine, while not enough to bankrupt them, is certainly not a trivial matter.

Daoist Qiaohe had no prior relationship with him, so there must be a reason for this.

Chen Lingxi went through all the details of what had just happened in the Weaving Medicine Valley in her mind.

When the Daoist priest spoke to him about the "Heaven-Sensing Spirit Medicine," his tone was calm and his demeanor composed, without the slightest hint of pretense.

When he asked for it, the Daoist Qiaohe simply said, "We'll talk about it later," leaving the matter unresolved and showing no intention of making any demands...

Chen Lingxi thought of this and slowly shook her head.

"Whatever the reason, the Heaven-Sensing Spirit Medicine is now in my hands."

"To gain complete control over the Heavenly-Law Edict is the most important thing right now."

He put aside his thoughts, and silently activated the Cloud-Riding Method beneath his feet, carrying him swiftly along the way.

After a short while, the phantom of the Divine Deer, suspended high in the Void, came into view in the distance.

We've arrived at Deer-Sleeping Peak.

Chen Lingxi descended from the clouds and landed deep within the Water-Curtain Cave.

The moment he parted the curtain of water, the thunderous roar of the thousand-foot waterfall enveloped him once again.

The cave remained dark, with several Night Spirit Stone embedded in the stone wall, gleaming with a familiar, soft, warm light.

Chen Lingxi walked straight to the smooth bluestone and sat down cross-legged.

He took the jade bottle from the Chaos Bag and held it in his palm.

The bottle was slightly warm, and a wisp of light fragrance slowly wafted from the vermilion seal.

Chen Lingxi a deep breath and slowly peeled off the cinnabar seal on the mutton-fat jade bottle.

A wisp of pure energy emanated from the bottle's mouth, gradually becoming stronger as it passed the opening, eventually condensing into a faint, shimmering glow that slowly flowed into his nostrils!

The moment the radiance entered her body, Chen Lingxi felt her entire Consciousness Sea being washed by a refreshing coolness.

His five senses suddenly became more acute than ever before.

The Spiritual Qi flowing from the Void, the sunlight filtering through the cave, the steam rising from the thousand-foot waterfall, and the silent glow of the few Night Spirit Stone within the stone walls all became clearly discernible.

At the same time, a sudden realization about the Heavenly-Law Edict, deep within his mind, also came to life!

The mysteries of the Immortal Ranking, the Heaven-Grown Jade, and the Divination Tortoise Shell all flowed forth!

Chen Lingxi immediately put the Heaven-Sensing Spirit Medicine into her mouth and slowly refined it.

Until the medicinal power entered the body, it transformed into a profound enlightenment, rushing straight into the depths of the Consciousness Sea.

Chen Lingxi felt that the enlightenment about the Heavenly-Law Edict deep in her mind was instantly magnified!

Those previously vague and vague insights now become clear one by one!

"I see!"

Chen Lingxi opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing within them!

The sunlight outside the cave was just right.

The thousand-foot waterfall still roars back like thunder, its sound deafening.

Chen Lingxi stepped out of the Water-Curtain Cave, stood suspended in mid-air, slowly raised her right hand, pointed at the Water-Curtain Cave, and softly uttered two words:

"Imperial Edict."

"End!"

In the instant the words fell.

A mysterious spiritual energy left the body!

In the next instant, all those ripples converged in the Void, transforming into a calm and profound imperial edict.

[End]!

The water curtain, which had been cascading down relentlessly like thunder, suddenly stopped and came to a standstill!

at the same time!

On the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform within his body, beneath the Thunder-Prison Profound Root, where there was originally nothing, another Profound Root slowly emerged!

The second Profound Root!

This is precisely the Heavenly Law-Rules Profound Root!

That newly formed Profound Root, as white as jade and as long as a few inches, slowly emerged from the depths of the Dao Platform!

Yet it was also incomparably solemn and profound.

Within it flows a mysterious and powerful force, like a great river surging forth!

"Success has finally been achieved!"

Chen Lingxi Chen Lingxi in the Water-Curtain Cave and exhaled a breath of stale air.

The Heavenly-Law Edict Divine Ability were thus completed.

The second Profound Root has also grown.

Now, all that's needed is for the Profound Root to fall into the Dao Platform, and then one can advance to the Dao Foundation Middle Stage!
