Over a month had passed.
[Task: Practice Heavy Shadow Spear to near-Dao mastery. Reward: Fist Technique Talent (Intermediate +1). Completed, claim now?]
[Task: Practice Mountain Fist to near-Dao mastery. Reward: Fist Technique Talent (Intermediate +2). Completed, claim now?]
"Claim!"
Lin Xuan successfully maxed out both newly practiced martial arts.
His Yuan power had risen rapidly, reaching the peak of Early Yuan Dan, allowing him to preliminarily shape Yuan energy.
He was now only one step away from the Forming Stage.
"What exactly is the Forming Stage like?"
Lin Xuan pondered. He had reached a bottleneck but didn't know how to break through. He was still unfamiliar with the Three Stages of Creation.
"I need to spar with a Forming Stage master to gain a direct experience."
Immediately, he thought of Ziyue's father, the Stone City Lord—the only Forming Stage master in Yan City.
City Lord's Mansion
Lin Xuan directly visited the mansion.
As soon as the guards heard his name, they immediately welcomed him and reported his arrival.
His exploits in the city—slaying Yue Shan in the city square and breaking through to Four-Seal Symbolist in the tower battle—had spread throughout Yan City. He had become the most prominent young talent.
His strength and talent were enough to converse on equal terms with the City Lord.
"Lin Xuan, you came to see me?"
Ziyue heard the news and rushed out.
Her eyes brightened when she saw Lin Xuan. She couldn't help but be surprised.
Had a month passed already? Lin Xuan looked even more handsome than before… her heartbeat quickened as she gazed at him.
"I've missed you, Sister, during my month of seclusion," Lin Xuan said with a faint smile, neither denying nor confirming her thoughts.
He quickly shifted the topic.
"By the way, how is your practice of the Three Talents Sword Array and the Huasheng Symbol Array? Any difficulties? Tell me, I can help you resolve them."
"The Huasheng Symbol Array… since you gave me the spiritual inheritance, I could enter easily.
But the Three Talents Sword Array… I haven't found the right swords yet, so I'm still experimenting. Also… let's go to my room. I have many questions for you," Ziyue said.
---
In Ziyue's room, she explained all the problems she encountered in her practice.
She loved having Lin Xuan teach her because he could simplify complex issues so thoroughly.
After half a day, Lin Xuan had resolved all her doubts.
"Sister, these two swords are for you. With your current one, you can now fully train the Three Talents Sword Array."
Lin Xuan handed over the Li Huo Sword he got from Liu Long and the You Xuan Sword gifted by Yan Xuan.
Ziyue's eyes brightened, but she asked, "And what about you?"
Lin Xuan smiled with composure. "I can use any high-grade spiritual treasure at my level. These swords won't affect my strength."
Successfully "winning over" Ziyue had given him rewards: high-grade spiritual treasures—the Seven Absolute Flying Swords.
This wasn't just one sword, but a set of seven identical swords, each a high-grade spiritual treasure.
Their power was immense, and they were perfectly suited for spiritual energy integration....far surpassing the You Xuan Sword or Li Huo Sword.
He had already gained much from Ziyue, so giving back like this felt satisfying.
"Shall I compensate you with Yang Yuan Pills?" Ziyue asked, moved. As the City Lord's daughter, she knew how rare and precious such swords were.
"No need, Sister. The two hundred thousand Yang Yuan Pills you gave my family when we first arrived in Yan City helped me greatly.
I'll always remember this favor," Lin Xuan said, letting her feel at ease.
"Then I'll remember your kindness forever," Ziyue said with a smile.
In her mind, Lin Xuan had treated her incredibly well. In just a few months, her cultivation had improved faster than it had in the past decade.
"Where's your father? Is he in the mansion?" Lin Xuan suddenly asked.
The atmosphere instantly turned slightly awkward.
Asking about her father in her room…
"I… my father usually doesn't come into my room," Ziyue said softly, her face turning red.
"Damn…" Lin Xuan realized the question sounded ambiguous. Ziyue was clearly overthinking it… and enjoying the rush of her heartbeat.
She blushed like a young lady waiting for her suitor.
Lin Xuan swallowed. This was the City Lord's mansion, her father's home—it was a little thrilling.
"City Lord is Forming Stage. I might not win, so I'll have to control myself," he thought.
Forming Stage masters had strong perception—no weaker than a Four-Seal Symbolist like him.
The City Lord could even be watching them from a hidden spot.
He forced himself to stop thinking inappropriately.
