Chapter 50: True Yin Body Falls to Whom! Jiang Ye's Planning!

"I comprehended saber momentum?!"

After a brief shock, a look of uncontrollable joy suddenly bloomed on Jiang Ye's aged face.

"Blood Moon Saber" manual records that when the saber technique breaks through to Small Completion, the practitioner has a chance to comprehend saber momentum.

The size of this chance depends entirely on comprehension.

Those with high comprehension have a sudden enlightenment.

Those with low comprehension might not touch the threshold even after ten years of hard practice.

That ugly man from the Qisha Sect practiced the saber for a lifetime, not knowing how many heads he had cut off, before he barely comprehended saber momentum.

And Jiang Ye, having practiced the saber for only a few days, comprehended saber momentum.

Hmm, superb comprehension is like this.

Jiang Ye glanced at the system panel.

Mastered Martial Arts: Five Birds Fist 【Consummation】 Blood Moon Saber 【Small Completion, 3/2000】

Sure enough, Blood Moon Saber had already broken through to Small Completion.

"Try the saber!"

A look of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he immediately put down the two small tree branches and turned back to the wooden house.

A moment later, he pushed the door and walked out, with a cold, gleaming curved saber in his hand.

Once the saber was in his hand, Jiang Ye felt different.

Before, holding the saber, he only felt it was handy.

At this moment, holding the saber, it felt as if this saber was an extension of his own arm, a part of his own body.

The blade was still the same blade, but in his perception, it was three points lighter and three points more flexible, as if with a move of his mind, the saber light could be issued with his thought.

He carried the saber and stepped into the herb garden again.

Under the moonlight, the blood-red Heavenly Sunflower Grass swayed gently.

He walked through it slowly, his gaze scanning every inch of land like a hawk, wanting to find a decent Fire Mastered Mastered Wu Gong to try the saber.

However, I don't know if it was because that slash just now scared away those beasts, or if his luck was bad tonight, he turned around a few times and only found a few little guys about half a foot long.

Those Fire Centipedes crawled out from the soil, and before they had time to eat the grass leaves, they were clamped by him one by one.

"Still not working."

He swept his eyes over their abdomens—the fire marks were still shallow, no different from those "trash" before.

Whoosh.

Saber light flashed.

Several Fire Centipedes didn't even have time to struggle before they were cut into two halves by that blood-moon-like saber light at the same time.

The cut was smooth as a mirror, without any dragging.

But Jiang Ye looked at those insect corpses cut into several segments and shook his head slightly.

This level of goods didn't even have the qualifications to make him exert his full strength.

Try the saber? Nothing to try.

He raised his eyes and looked around, his gaze suddenly falling on a small tree as thick as a bowl beside the herb garden.

The tree was about a person high, the trunk straight, casting a faint shadow under the moonlight.

Jiang Ye held the saber and stepped forward, standing still at a distance of about three feet from the tree.

He took a deep breath, the Qi and blood in his body surged, and the newly comprehended saber momentum flowed silently, merging into the curved saber in his hand.

The next instant.

He slashed suddenly.

The curved saber in his hand, at this moment, seemed no longer a saber, but a real crescent moon rising from a sea of blood.

On the blade, blood color faintly flowed, drawing a breathtaking arc in the moonlight, slashing remotely toward that small tree.

Whoosh——!!!

An extremely sharp sound of breaking air tore through the silence of the night.

In the air, a layer of ripples visible to the naked eye seemed to sweep toward that small tree as the blade pointed.

Bang!!! 【

A loud boom!

A smooth, mirror-like cut suddenly appeared in the center of the trunk of the small tree three feet away.

The upper half of the tree swayed slightly, then crashed down with a roar, slamming heavily into the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Jiang Ye stood holding his blade, gazing at the fallen trunk, a brilliant light flickering in his aged eyes.

Blade Intent!

This was Blade Intent!

Three feet apart, the blade had not touched the body, yet the tree had snapped.

He slowly sheathed his blade and lowered his gaze to the curved blade in his hand.

"Good blade!"

He muttered to himself, unsure if he was speaking of the blade, the blade technique, or the Blade Intent he had just grasped.

Feeling the Qi and blood in his body gradually calm down, Jiang Ye did not continue practicing the blade, but instead continued searching for fire centipedes in the herb garden.

Perhaps it was past the fire centipedes' feeding time; he wandered around several times and couldn't even find the shadow of a single one.

There was plenty of time, and Jiang Ye hadn't expected to find a top-grade fire centipede all at once.

After strolling through the herb garden for a while longer, Jiang Ye shook his head slightly and returned to the wooden hut to rest.

The next day, at the first light of dawn.

Jiang Ye rose as usual and began practicing the Five Animal Fist.

Although the Five Animal Fist had reached perfection, practicing this health-preserving fist technique more often was always beneficial for this aging shell of a body.

"Old Master Jiang!"

Before long, a crisp and pleasant voice came from not far away.

Jiang Ye followed the sound and saw Wen Yueyao walking quickly along the path of the herb garden.

The young girl wore no makeup today, her face bare, which only made her bright eyes and white teeth stand out more.

Her beautiful hair fluttered slightly in the morning breeze, and a few strands playfully brushed against her cheeks, which she brushed behind her ears.

That natural, unadorned look, paired with her habitual sweet smile, possessed a uniquely moving charm.

"Miss Wen, you are up so early."

Jiang Ye stopped his fist technique and went to greet her, a polite smile on his face.

"Haha, we martial artists must, of course, rise early!"

Wen Yueyao came prettily before him and laughed, revealing a row of neat, pearly teeth: "Besides, isn't Old Master Jiang also up very early?"

"I'm just old, so I can't sleep."

Jiang Ye smiled and shook his head slightly.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and the smile on Wen Yueyao's face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of apology:

"Old Master Jiang, there is something... I must apologize to you for."

She bit her lip, looking somewhat embarrassed as she spoke:

"I told you before that after you joined the sect, I would transfer my contribution points to you so you could exchange them for a Qi-Nurturing Method as soon as possible..."

She paused, her fair cheeks flushing slightly; clearly, she rarely experienced such moments of "breaking a promise."

"To help me break through to the Transformation of Force Realm and begin nurturing Qi as soon as possible, the Peak Master took it upon himself to exchange all my contribution points for elixirs."

"So, it might take me some time to gather enough contribution points to transfer to you."

As she spoke, the young girl lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Hearing this, Jiang Ye smiled faintly and waved his hand: "No matter, this old man has lived for so long, a little more time doesn't matter."

His aura was perfectly contained, and coupled with the fact that he had killed Blackie Wu with a single sneak attack, Wen Yueyao had always assumed Jiang Ye was a Force Transformation peak-stage martial artist.

He must be in a hurry for a Qi-Nurturing Method to nurture his Qi.

In reality, he was still at the early stage of the Transformation of Force...

Jiang Ye estimated that at his current speed, it should take him about a month to step into the peak of the Transformation of Force.

Wen Yueyao's "some time" was actually just right.

"Old Master Jiang, I am truly sorry, I will definitely gather the contribution points as soon as possible!"

Hearing Jiang Ye say it was fine, Wen Yueyao let out a sigh of relief, then solemnly promised Jiang Ye again and again that she would gather the sect contribution points as soon as possible.

Jiang Ye also took this opportunity to ask how many contribution points were needed to exchange for a Qi-Nurturing Method.

The answer he received left him shocked.

Exchanging for a single Qi-Nurturing Method actually required a full thirty thousand contribution points!

According to his salary as a deacon of one thousand contribution points per month, he would need to save for two and a half years without eating or drinking to gather enough for the exchange.

"This is too exaggerated; is a Qi-Nurturing Method really that precious?"

Jiang Ye sighed softly and shook his head slightly.

"The Qi-Nurturing Method is the core of the sect!"

Wen Yueyao said with a solemn expression: "Every type of Qi-Nurturing Method represents a different path. Old Master Jiang, you will understand in the future that these thirty thousand contribution points are actually not expensive at all."

After the two chatted for a while longer, Wen Yueyao left in a hurry.

She seemed quite busy as a direct disciple.

Jiang Ye had intended to take advantage of his high spirits in the morning to practice the Blood Moon Blade for a while after finishing the Five Animal Fist.

But before he could turn around, he saw the little fatty Lu Ming walking over with two people along the herb garden path, laughing happily.

"Jiang Zhishi!" Lu Ming called out from afar: "These two are also colleagues who guard the herb garden. Hearing that a new deacon had arrived at the Tiankui Herb Garden, they wanted to come and meet you. I took the liberty of bringing them over."

As they spoke, the three arrived close by.

Jiang Ye's gaze swept over the two people.

The one in front was a young man in his twenties, wearing the Tianqing Sect attire, with a square face and regular features, yet his whole person exuded a gloomy temperament.

"This is Hu Hu Shidi Fang Ming, responsible for guarding the Flame Heart Fruit herb garden."

Lu Ming introduced.

Fang Ming raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Jiang Ye, and cupped his hands casually, his voice so perfunctory it was almost inaudible: "Greetings, Jiang Zhishi."

Jiang Ye's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly in response.

Lu Ming pointed to the other person.

This was a young woman, also wearing the Tianqing Sect disciple attire, with a melon-shaped face; her features were not stunning, but she was the type who became more pleasant the more one looked at her.

There was a natural affinity between her brows and eyes, and when she smiled, her eyes curved into two crescent moons.

And that wide Tianqing Sect robe was worn by her in a way that looked plump and full, with a clearly rounded curve at her chest, while her waist was cinched extremely thin.

Clearly, beneath that fabric hid a figure with plenty of substance.

"This is Xu Xu Shijie Chen Lili, responsible for guarding the Earth Fire Ginseng herb garden!"

Chen Lili laughed heartily, took the initiative to step forward, and looked at Jiang Ye with bright, sparkling eyes, her voice crisp and pleasant:

"Greetings, Jiang Zhishi! I've been in the herb garden for so long, and this is the first time I've seen a deacon of your age!"

As she spoke, she suddenly giggled: "Seeing you is just like seeing my grandfather; it feels so familiar!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ye couldn't help but show a hint of a smile on his aged face and cupped his hands:

"You two are too kind. This old man is a newcomer, and I hope for your guidance in the future."

He then stepped aside to clear the doorway and invited the three into the house.

Fortunately, although the wooden hut was simple, the tea and food provided by the sect were quite complete, so he wasn't unable to offer anything to his guests.

The four sat around the simple wooden table, eating and chatting.

With Lu Ming, the little chatterbox, the atmosphere naturally wouldn't be cold.

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was like a floodgate opening; he chatted about everything from the weather in the herb garden to the habits of the fire centipedes, and then to the gossip about the direct disciples of each peak, chattering incessantly.

Chen Lili was also a straightforward person; driven by him, her chatterbox was completely opened, and she spoke even more enthusiastically than Lu Ming, occasionally adding exaggerated gestures, and the wide deacon's robe couldn't hide the undulating waves at her chest.

Jiang Ye drank tea while listening with a smile, occasionally interjecting a word or two.

He noticed that the gloomy-tempered Fang Ming didn't speak much, but his gaze would land on Chen Lili from time to time.

"A secret admirer, then."

Jiang Ye shook his head slightly, a flash of understanding passing through his aged eyes.

He also took advantage of this idle time to learn more about the sect.

As they chatted, the topic somehow drifted to the news that had shocked the entire sect yesterday.

"Tsk tsk, our Tianqing Sect exploded yesterday!"

Lu Ming slapped his thigh, his face full of envy, jealousy, and hatred, "That little lady who just joined the sect, what's her name, Xu Qinghuan, True Yin Body! You've heard of it, right?"

Chen Lili rolled her eyes: "Nonsense, who in the entire sect hasn't heard of it?"

"Do you know who ended up taking her in?"

Lu Ming kept them in suspense, and seeing that both were looking at him, he lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious: "Golden Star Peak, Xu Xu Shijie Hu Hu Shidi Jin Hai! The one who is third on the Direct Disciple Ranking!"

"Jin Hai?" Chen Lili's eyes lit up, "That's a legendary figure; I heard he's only twenty-five this year and is already in the Embracing the Pill Realm."

"Indeed." Lu Ming sighed, "And I heard their wedding date is already set for three months from now..."

He looked up to the sky and sighed, his face full of the expression, "If only I could take his place."

Chen Lili also sighed, but what she said almost made Jiang Ye, who was drinking tea, choke: "What a pity! I really hate that I am a woman and don't have that thing! Otherwise..."

"Cough, cough..."

The hand Jiang Ye used to hold the teacup trembled slightly, and the tea almost spilled.

He looked up at Chen Lili and saw that the girl spoke righteously, without a hint of shyness on her face, as if she were just discussing what to eat for dinner.

No, this little girl was too unrestrained.

Jiang Ye glanced covertly at the other's lower body.

He saw that her fair, slender legs were tightly closed, and there was a faint, faint fragrance on her body.

Clearly, this little girl was still a virgin who had never experienced a man.

Fang Ming, on the other hand, couldn't sit still.

He frowned, looked at Chen Lili with a serious expression, his voice carrying a hint of disapproval: "Lili, you are a woman, how can you say such lewd and vulgar words..."

Hearing this, Chen Lili rolled her eyes and looked speechless: "Hu Hu Shidi Fang, I've told you how many times, 'Lili' is not what you should call me; you should call me Xu Xu Shijie!"

She paused, her chin lifted slightly, her tone carrying a hint of impatience:

"Also, what I say is none of your business!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Ming's face changed drastically.

The atmosphere in the wooden hut also cooled slightly.

Fortunately, Lu Ming was a tactful person; seeing this, he quickly laughed it off and used banter to steer the conversation away.

Before long, the atmosphere became lively again.

Jiang Ye held his teacup, listening to them chat while silently digesting the information just now.

Jin Hai, third on the Direct Disciple Ranking, an Embracing the Pill Realm powerhouse, marrying Xu Qinghuan in three months.

He put down his teacup and asked casually:

"I heard that this True Yin Body only has the effect of breaking through realms for martial artists below the Embracing the Pill Realm. Jin Hai is already in the Embracing the Pill Realm; what is he after by taking Xu Qinghuan into his pocket? Could it be that he is coveting her beauty?"

"Jiang Zhishi, you don't know about this."

Lu Ming shook his head, with an expression of "you don't know what you're missing":

"For Jin Hai, the greatest use of this True Yin Body is not breaking through realms, but cleansing the body!"

"It is said that if this True Yin is completely absorbed by a man, the strength of the body after cleansing will greatly increase!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ye's aged eyes suddenly lit up.

He had been wanting to practice the "Diamond Body Refining Technique" for the past few days.

However, limited by his aging body, he had been unable to get started.

At this very moment.

A bold and dangerous idea sprouted in Jiang Ye's heart like weeds.
