He had originally planned to leave Bitter Sea Town.

However, Chen Ping'an, who possessed the Pure Yang Holy Body, still caught his attention...

Therefore, Qi Mengqiu gave the broken jade to Chen Ping'an and risked using the Seven-Day Soul-Stealing Technique.

As expected, nothing unexpected happened.

Chen Ping'an died on the broken bridge, and Qi Mengqiu picked up the broken jade and absorbed its pure yang power.

This allowed him to advance directly from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining!

Qi Mengqiu was overjoyed; Chen Ping'an alone had saved him ten years of cultivation time.

And when they met Chen Ping'an again.

He discovered that the other party was not only not dead, but had also transformed into a Yin-Yang Chaos Body!

Qi Mengqiu almost lost her composure on the spot...

If one can absorb the power of the Yin-Yang Chaos Body, it might be possible to directly advance two minor realms.

He didn't care how Chen Ping'an had come back to life, after all, the other party was just an ant at the fifth level of the Acquired Realm.

He, Qi Mengqiu, could kill with a flick of his finger!

Fortunately, Chen Ping'an was rather naive and did not suspect him, even accepting the potentially fatal jade pendant.

Qi Mengqiu watched the leaves fall silently, without a trace of pity in her eyes.

"Ah... Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs."

"We cultivators can only ascend to immortality if we are cold-blooded and ruthless... It is an honor for them to become nourishment on my cultivation path, whether it is Chen Ping'an or the other students in the town."

......

As Chu Tianyao walked, pondering his next move, he unconsciously arrived at the entrance of the martial arts school.

The main gate of the martial arts school is made of heavy solid wood, with lifelike dragon and tiger patterns carved on the surface, symbolizing the bravery and strength of martial artists.

Above the entrance hangs a plaque, weathered yet still powerful, bearing the four large characters "Fengyun Martial Arts School," the calligraphy vigorous and exuding an extraordinary aura.

The door knocker is made of bronze; when you knock on it gently, you can hear a long echo reverberating through the air.

The gates of the martial arts school were open at the moment, and the first thing that came into view was a spacious training ground. The ground was paved with bluestone, which was smooth and flat after being worn by countless martial artists.

Surrounded by a low fence, the area is filled with lush bamboo and pine trees. A gentle breeze rustles the bamboo leaves, which, together with the occasional birdsong from afar, adds a touch of tranquility and elegance to this martial arts training ground.

In the center of the training ground, there were various weapon racks, including swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks. Each weapon was polished to a shine, reflecting the sunlight and gleaming with a cold light.

The martial artists either held long spears, practiced horse stances and spear techniques, the spear tips cutting through the air and leaving silver trails; or they stood with swords, the sword light like weaving, their bodies light as the wind, showing their remarkable swordsmanship.

"Hmm... In Chen Ping'an's fragmented memories, he only peeked through the doorway a few times..."

"Those who can come to learn martial arts are all from wealthy families. After all, it takes a lot of money to hire a martial artist at the Innate Realm as an instructor."

"However, from my current perspective... the level of the instructors at this martial arts school is quite limited. I'm afraid they can only train students to the ninth level of the Acquired Realm at most."

"In comparison, the town patrol team is a good place to hone ordinary people. If the members of the patrol team can persist for three years, most of them can be promoted to the Innate Realm."
