"Yes, Miss, it has spread throughout the prefecture city now."

The Su family's steward lowered his voice: "I heard that several big families are planning to visit this Elder Jiang, should we prepare too?"

Su Yan sat in the hall, a trace of contemplation appearing on her bright, pretty face.

Her slender fingers tapped the table lightly, making a rhythmic "thud, thud" sound, before she spoke slowly after a long time:

"That's right, the only one who could easily wipe out those fierce bandits of the Black Wind Stronghold could only be an expert from the Profound Heaven Sect."

As for whether the Su family should prepare......

After contemplating for a moment, Su Yan shook her head slightly and sighed lightly:

"There are too many people who want to visit Elder Jiang now. Our Su family is small, I'm afraid we won't even be able to squeeze through the door."

"Right!"

Su Yan's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, like stars suddenly ignited in the dark night, even her voice carrying a bit of joy:

"Isn't Yiyi in the Profound Heaven Sect......"

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a cunning smile, that smile blooming on her bright face, actually carrying a bit of a young girl's playfulness:

"I can go to the Profound Heaven Sect to visit Yiyi when the time comes, and let her help introduce me......"

Tianyang Peak, Tiankui Herb Garden.

Jiang Ye sat cross-legged on the blue stone in front of the wooden house, carefully flipping through the "True Fire Refining Eye Technique."

The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became.

According to the records in the secret manual, using different levels of fire qi to temper the eyes, the effect of the fire eyes refined would be worlds apart.

Using ordinary fire qi, one could only vaguely see the operation of true qi in the human body, like looking at flowers in the fog.

And using superior fire qi, the eyesight would be much stronger, whether looking at people or objects, one could achieve meticulous detail, everything clearly visible.

"Meticulous detail... what kind of concept is this..."

Jiang Ye pondered, a trace of contemplation flashing in his aged eyes.

His Great Sun Heavenly Flame True Qi should be considered superior fire qi, right.

"Practice it first and then talk."

Jiang Ye shook his head slightly, throwing the distracting thoughts in his mind away.

Closing the secret manual, closing his eyes, taking a deep breath, his heart and mind calm.

He began to mobilize the red-gold Great Sun Heavenly Flame True Qi in his body according to the qi-moving method recorded in the secret manual, along a few special meridians, slowly surging toward his eyes—

The next instant.

Hiss!

An indescribable scorching pain, like a red-hot steel needle suddenly stabbing into his eyeball.

Jiang Ye only felt darkness before his eyes, severe pain exploded from his eyes, instantly spreading to his entire head, almost making him faint from the pain.

"Hiss......"

Jiang Ye wiped his eyes, his fingers actually stained with tears.

Since he started practicing martial arts, it had been a long, long time since he had experienced such severe pain.

That kind of pain was not the suffering of skin and flesh, but the severe pain exploding from the depths of the eyeball, from the nerve endings, with nowhere to escape.

"It seems I still have to try Elder Zhong's method..."

He took a few deep breaths, suppressing that severe pain, and hurriedly took out the jade porcelain bottle sent by Zheng Feng from his bosom.

Uncapping the bottle, a rich, clear fragrance instantly permeated the air.

At the bottom of the bottle lay a cluster of emerald-green liquid, crystal clear, glowing with a soft luster in the sunlight.

Looking at this amount, there were at least five drops of Heavenly Blue Spirit Liquid.

This Zheng Feng kid was truly generous.

This was almost the share of a true disciple for two months.

He picked up the jade porcelain bottle, like dripping eye drops, carefully pouring a drop of Heavenly Blue Spirit Liquid into his left eye.

In an instant, a coolness like a high mountain clear spring wrapped around the entire eyeball.

That coolness seeped in from the corners of his eyes, slowly spreading, driving away, dissolving the bone-chilling scorching pain just now, bit by bit, like a long drought meeting sweet rain, comfortable enough to make one want to sigh.

"It really works!!!"

Jiang Ye's heart was happy, hurriedly pouring a drop of Heavenly Blue Spirit Liquid into his right eye too.

The scorching pain in his right eye also slowly faded.

Jiang Ye didn't want to waste the effect of the Heavenly Blue Spirit Liquid, so he immediately began to mobilize the Great Sun Heavenly Flame True Qi in his body to temper his eyes again.

This time, it was indeed different.

Under the protection of the Heavenly Blue Spirit Liquid, his eyes no longer had that heart-tearing scorching pain, but a faint, gentle scorching heat.

That feeling was like being close to a stove in winter, warm and comfortable, comfortable and controllable.

"Good, good, good, it seems there is hope for cultivation!"

Jiang Ye finally set his heart at ease, focused his heart and mind, and began to temper his eyes with peace of mind.

Time passed bit by bit, Jiang Ye gradually felt that the eye-protecting effect of the Heavenly Blue Spirit Liquid was slowly weakening.

That faint scorching heat began to transform into scorching pain.

The moment that scorching heat was about to turn into stinging pain, Jiang Ye poured two more drops of Heavenly Blue Spirit Liquid into his eyes without hesitation.

Heavenly Blue Spirit Liquid was indeed precious, but, good steel must be used on the blade.

He understood this principle better than anyone.

About an hour later.

In front of Jiang Ye, there were two empty jade porcelain bottles.

He had used up all five drops of Heavenly Blue Spirit Liquid sent by Zheng Feng, along with the one drop he had received in the Hall of Affairs.

His eyes were tightly closed, his whole body's breath fluctuating, and under his eyelids, red-gold light flowed faintly, as if flames were sleeping in his eye sockets.

Don't know how much time passed.

Jiang Ye opened his eyes suddenly.

Boom——!!!

Almost the moment his eyes opened, two clusters of red-gold flames suddenly rose in his aged eyes!

That flame burned scorching hot, yet didn't hurt his eyeballs at all, jumping and rising in his eye sockets, illuminating those aged eyes like two shrunken great suns!

And at this moment.

The world that entered Jiang Ye's eyes changed.

The whole world became clearer, brighter, and more... real in his eyes.

He could clearly see a beetle the size of a grain of rice struggling to climb on the trunk of that old pine a hundred meters away, the fine patterns on its back, the fluff on its six legs, and even every movement of its antennae were clearly visible, as if they were close at hand.

Turning his gaze slightly, he could even see the insects crawling in the grass a hundred meters away.

Ants, centipedes, and some unknown small insects, even the patterns on their bodies could be seen clearly.

He could also see the dust floating in the air, grain by grain, swimming slowly in the sunlight, like countless tiny stars.

What was even more terrifying was that he also felt... the world in his eyes had slowed down.

Whether it was the small insects climbing on the trunk or those crawling in the grass, their movements appeared exceptionally slow to Jiang Ye, like slow motion.

Without a doubt, this was the manifestation of his eyesight becoming stronger.

It wasn't that the world had slowed down, but that the speed at which his eyes captured details was too fast.

"Hahahahahaha!!!!!!"

Jiang Ye couldn't help but laugh loudly, that laughter echoing in the empty herb garden, startling a few birds roosting in the distance.

Mastered True Intent: Tiger-Form Like Sickness, Spirit Ape Thousand Changes, Startled Deer No Trace, Riding Wind Soaring Heaven

Looking at the system panel, Jiang Ye nodded in satisfaction.

It wasn't in vain that he had used so much Heavenly Blue Spirit Liquid, the "True Fire Refining Eye Technique" had finally entered the entry level.

Jiang Ye stood in the herb garden, his eyes that had just been successfully tempered shining brightly.

A sense of excitement to try surged in his heart, he had to find someone to practice with and test the power of these fire eyes.

He really wanted to test what changes would occur when fighting with others after his eyesight was improved by opening the fire eyes.

Who should he practice with.

The figures of Lü Ming and Chen Lili flashed in Jiang Ye's mind.

About a cup of tea's time later, Lü Ming and Chen Lili came to the Tiankui Herb Garden tremblingly.

Both of them looked uneasy, looking at each other from time to time, seeing the same panic in each other's eyes.

Because, just now, Jiang Ye suddenly found the two of them, saying he wanted to test their strength and let them exchange moves with him.

This made both of them feel a bit panicked.

Both were Transformation of Force strength, how could they exchange moves with Elder Jiang of the Embracing the Pill Realm.

"Chen Xu Shijie, why don't you go first... give Junior Brother me a demonstration..."

Lü Ming, who was usually active, rarely started to push back today.

His round face was piled with a fawning smile, and his footsteps moved backward unconsciously.

"You know I'm the Xu Xu Shijie and still let me go first?"

Chen Lili rolled her eyes and retorted unceremoniously.

Seeing the two pushing back and forth, Jiang Ye shook his head slightly, then looked at Chen Lili and said: "Chen girl, you go first, you don't need to have any concerns, the old man will only defend and not attack!"

He could vaguely feel that Chen Lili's breath was stronger than Lü Ming's, so he let her go first.

"Only defend and not attack?"

Hearing Jiang Ye's words, Chen Lili felt a bit more settled, took a deep breath, and bowed slightly to Jiang Ye with a solemn expression: "Elder Jiang, then I will show my ugliness!"

The moment her words fell, Chen Lili gathered her internal force, her right fist probing out like a poisonous snake, slamming fiercely toward Jiang Ye's head.

Jiang Ye didn't open his fire eyes, casually waving a palm to block Chen Lili's heavy fist.

"Chen girl, don't hold back, attack me with all your strength."

He spoke in a deep voice, his tone carrying a bit of dissatisfaction.

If the other party only had this level, he didn't even have the need to open his fire eyes.

Hearing this, Chen Lili felt an inexplicable pressure.

She knew she had to perform well.

"Elder Jiang, then be careful!"

She let out a low shout, her internal force surging out, no longer holding anything back.

Her moves became faster and faster, heavier and heavier, the fist wind whistling, leaving trails of afterimages in the air.

At this moment, she almost brought out her bottom-of-the-box skills.

"Hmm, this is more like it."

Jiang Ye nodded secretly in his heart.

Chen Lili's offensive was much fiercer than before, almost having the strength of the late Transformation of Force Realm.

It was time to open the fire eyes and try.

Jiang Ye moved his heart, and two clusters of red-gold flames rose in his aged eyes.

In an instant, the world changed.

Chen Lili's fierce offensive suddenly slowed down in his eyes, as if slowed down countless times.

The trajectory of every one of her punches, the flaws in every one of her movements, were as clear as if carved before his eyes.

As long as Jiang Ye wanted, even without using true qi, he could seriously injure her with any move.

"Not bad, after opening the fire eyes, the improvement for fighting is very great."

A look of satisfaction flashed in Jiang Ye's aged eyes.

But soon, he discovered something wrong, the scene seen in the fire eyes... was not just this!

"Ah? What is this......"

Jiang Ye rarely blushed, and even his heartbeat accelerated.

No!

This Chen girl is really......

At this moment, he truly understood what the meticulous detail recorded in the "True Fire Refining Eye Technique" secret manual meant.

Chen Lili was completely unaware, she suddenly raised her foot, a sharp whip leg kicking toward Jiang Ye's face.

That movement was clean and neat......

"Alright, Chen girl, end it here."

Jiang Ye retreated a few steps with a red face, instantly closing his fire eyes.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the inexplicable dryness in his heart, waved his hand at Chen Lili and Lü Ming: "Alright, the old man has a rough idea of your strength, you can go back."

"Ah?!"

Chen Lili was slightly stunned, keeping the posture of raising her leg and freezing on the spot.

This was also too sudden, right?

She was fighting vigorously, why did Jiang Ye suddenly want to stop?

She looked at Jiang Ye's suddenly flushed old face and asked with some concern: "Elder Jiang, are you not feeling well?"

"No, the old man is just a bit sleepy."

Jiang Ye shook his head slightly.

"Chen Xu Shijie, since Elder Jiang wants to rest, let's leave quickly."

Lü Ming was happy that Jiang Ye didn't need to test his strength, hurriedly urging Chen Lili to leave.

Finally, Chen Lili could only follow Lü Ming away with a face full of confusion.

She looked back a few times when walking out of the herb garden, her eyes full of confusion, why was Elder Jiang acting so strange today?

Watching Chen Lili's back fade away, Jiang Ye shook his head with a complex expression.

This girl is truly a bit super-model in some dimensions.

He took a deep breath, turned back to the wooden house, and scooped up a basin of cold water to wash his face.

The cold touch eased the dryness in his body, and the light in those old eyes gradually calmed down.

He looked out the window, the sky was still early.

He tidied up simply, changed into that simple gray robe, and walked down the mountain unhurriedly.

This time down the mountain, he had two purposes.

One was to go to the prefecture city to buy medicinal herbs from the Chen family, so he could continue practicing the "Jin Gang Body Refining Technique."

The second one......

A cold arc hooked at the corner of his mouth.

Since the Sun family's second young master wanted to force Su Yan to marry him.

Then Jiang Ye had to pay a visit.
