Sword Control

Su Ye slowly stroked the blade of the green sword, murmuring to himself:

"I should give you a name. How about the Evergreen Sword?"

The introduction in the jade slip Daoist Qinghua had left behind was incomplete, and some parts were fragmentary, so even now, Su Ye didn't know what the sword was actually called.

Su Ye simply decided that, since he had started, he might as well see it through and give the sword a new name: Evergreen.

After naming it, Su Ye placed the Evergreen Sword beneath his feet, then formed hand seals and began using the Sword Control Technique.

Ever since Su Ye had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the spiritual energy in his body had reached another level. Not only had its capacity increased, but its quality had changed as well.

The current Su Ye could easily afford the energy it took to use the Sword Control Technique.

The scene of him flying a few dozen meters before his spiritual energy was drained and he fell to the ground certainly wouldn't play out again.

Su Ye guided the Evergreen Sword in a spiral toward the sky, circling the giant tree beside Little White's cave.

"Woohoo!!!"

Su Ye had just ascended into the sky for the first time, so he was naturally beside himself with excitement.

Lamborghinis, Porsches, Maseratis-all of them seemed insignificant in Su Ye's eyes now.

How could any of them compare to the exhilaration of riding the wind on a sword?

Su Ye guided the Evergreen Sword to a stop at the top of the giant tree and gazed calmly down at his surroundings.

I've climbed to the summit; I am the peak!!!

At that moment, Su Ye felt as though he were the protagonist of heaven and earth.

Yes, it had gone to his head!!!

Su Ye stayed quietly at the top of the giant tree for a long while. Perhaps the cold November wind had begun to bite, for he guided the Evergreen Sword back down to the ground.

I've let it all out. I can't get carried away, can't get carried away! Lying low and developing is the way to go! Su Ye muttered inwardly.

Putting away the Evergreen Sword, Su Ye took the Pharmacopoeia out of his storage bag and leaned against Little White as he resumed studying it.

Before long, Little Black and Little White both finished refining and opened their eyes one after the other.

Seeing that Little White and Little Black were both awake, Su Ye put away the Pharmacopoeia and took out plenty of mutated ginseng for them to keep as food.

After that, Su Ye headed down the mountain alone.

At that moment, in the front courtyard of Su Ye's home, Zhang Erhu was practicing Xingyi Quan with his upper body bare.

He had originally wanted to share the joy of his breakthrough to Xiantian with Su Ye, but Su Ye had vanished without a trace as usual, only to suddenly reappear at mealtimes.

Unable to find Su Ye and bored, Zhang Erhu had started practicing Xingyi Quan right there in the courtyard.

Beside the courtyard where Zhang Erhu was practicing Xingyi Quan, a luxurious three-story villa now stood in imposing splendor.

After two months, the villa at Su Ye's home had been completely furnished.

Following Su Ye's specifications, nearly ten million had been spent on it in total.

Su Ye's parents hadn't originally had such high demands. They had only wanted to save whatever they could, as long as the place was fit to live in.

But in the end, at Su Ye's insistence, it had been furnished in an understated style with a touch of luxury.

Seeing how beautiful their new house was, Father Su and Mother Su were naturally overjoyed.

Since Su Ye had insisted on doing it up nicely, they hadn't objected too much.

Now, whenever Father Su and Mother Su went out to visit others, they held their backs straight, and the smiles never left their faces.

When Su Ye hurried down the mountain to the vegetable garden, he found no sign of Zhang Erhu there, so he headed home.

Sure enough, while he was still some distance from home, he heard the sounds of Zhang Erhu practicing his punches.

"Erhu, practicing your punches?"

Su Ye greeted Zhang Erhu as soon as he entered.

When Zhang Erhu saw Su Ye return, he stopped practicing Xingyi Quan and said to him:

"Brother Ye! I've mastered all the Five Elements Fist forms in Xingyi Quan, and now I'm already at Xiantian!"

"If I run into that Zhao Lei again, I guarantee I can knock him flat with one punch!"

Su Ye examined Zhang Erhu carefully, then patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Good lad, not bad!"

If anyone else had trained in martial arts for a little over two months, reaching Houtian would have been remarkable, let alone Xiantian.

Yet Zhang Erhu had broken through to the Xiantian Realm in just two short months. If those who had taken ten or twenty years to reach Xiantian heard about it, wouldn't they all cough up blood in anger?

Of course, Zhang Erhu could never have progressed so quickly without Su Ye's spiritual treasures and guidance!

He ate spiritual rice as his staple food and drank spiritual tea like water. Su Ye even personally stood guard for Zhang Erhu at intervals while he refined spiritual treasures such as mutated ginseng and Solomon's seal.

Early the next morning, Su Ye got up and headed for the farm.

By the time Su Ye arrived at the farm, Zhang Erhu was already there practicing Xingyi Quan.

It had become an instinctive habit for him!

"Practicing your punches, Erhu!"

Su Ye greeted Zhang Erhu as usual!

Just as Su Ye was about to go into the greenhouse to check on the vegetables, his phone rang. He took it out, saw that it was Xiao Xiao, and answered.

"Su Ye, where are you? Why haven't I been able to get through to you lately?"

Xiao Xiao's aggrieved voice came from the other end of the line.

Over the past two months, Su Ye had been ducking into the Immortal Spirit Space at every opportunity. It would have been strange if anyone could get through to him.

"Sister Xiao, I've been at home tending the farm lately. Maybe the signal's bad out in the countryside!"

Su Ye gave Xiao Xiao an answer that was half true and half false!

"Your vegetables and watermelons should be nearly ripe, shouldn't they?" Xiao Xiao asked.

"The vegetables are almost ready, but the watermelons need a little longer!"

Su Ye replied to Xiao Xiao.

The vegetables in Su Ye's greenhouse were growing even better than they had last season, and this season's yield should be a little higher than the last.

"My birthday is on the second of next month. You're not allowed to be late!"

On the other end of the line, Xiao Xiao suddenly spoke.

"The second of next month? Isn't that still a long way off?"

November had only just begun, and the second of next month was still about a month away.

"Isn't it because you're always disappearing? That's why I'm telling you in advance!"

Xiao Xiao said exasperatedly on the other end of the line.

"All right, all right, all right. I'll definitely be there!"

"Then it's settled. Go take care of whatever you need to do!"

Xiao Xiao said to Su Ye, then hung up.

Su Ye put away his phone and went into the greenhouse. Only a narrow passage remained inside, with plump, plump vegetables on both sides that were already almost as tall as Su Ye.
