"Mr. Mu, how about I check you out to see if there's anything wrong?" Doctor Sun also said.
"I'm fine." Mu Hanyan shook her head. Although she was not proficient in medicine, her spiritual sense had the ability to see inside her. She knew better than Doctor Sun whether there was anything wrong with her.
Apart from the fact that the energy was purer and more condensed than before, Mu Hanyan didn't feel anything unusual at all.
As for the changes, Mu Hanyan knew without much thought that it was of course the result of the Divine Martial Breaking Heaven Art. Although her current cultivation level did not seem to have changed on the surface and she was still a fifth-level swordsman, only Mu Hanyan herself knew that in terms of the purity and solidity of her energy, it was not much inferior to ordinary seventh- and eighth-level swordsmen.
"How can you be okay? I just clearly felt a strange power gathering outside your body, which is completely different from the power of heaven and earth that we usually practice. It's better for me to help check you out." Doctor Sun had no idea what was going on and insisted.
However, Yu Qingwan had no cultivation and didn't understand these things, so she didn't say a word.
"It's really okay, Mr. Sun, don't worry." Mu Hanyan said politely.
The strange power Doctor Sun mentioned was most likely the power of the Nine Heavens Stars that she had just activated when she practiced the technique. In fact, the Yan family's Heavenly Star Technique could directly absorb the power of the Nine Heavens Stars, but it was difficult to refine it due to the limitations of the laws of heaven and earth and their physical constitution. Mu Hanyan had long since integrated the Heavenly Star Technique into the Heavenly Heart Technique, so of course she also had this ability.
However, as her cultivation level increased, and she underwent two more meridian cleansing and marrow cleansing sessions, the requirements for advancement became increasingly higher than those of other practitioners. The little power of the Nine Heavens stars she absorbed was already a drop in the bucket. Even if she cultivated for a year or two, it wouldn't be as much as she could accumulate enough elixirs to cultivate in the spatial channel of the star disk for a single night. So Mu Hanyan didn't take it seriously, but it did startle Doctor Sun.
Seeing that Mu Hanyan's expression was unchanged, Doctor Sun no longer insisted.
"Where are Zirong and the others? Why are they nowhere to be seen?" Mu Hanyan looked around and saw that only Yu Qingwan and Doctor Sun were there, and asked in confusion.
"Zirong, Huayue, and Jiang Yuzhe have all reached the point of breakthrough. They went to Master Qu's residence for fear of disturbing you, and Brother Ye also went to protect them." Yu Qingwan replied.
"They are about to break through!" Mu Hanyan looked surprised.
She remembered that they had only been promoted to Great Swordsmen for a short time, yet they were already advancing to the Sword Master realm so quickly, surprising even her. It seemed that tempering was indeed the best shortcut to improving their cultivation. The bloody battles at Feilai Peak and Broken Soul Valley had unexpectedly given several of them the opportunity to break through simultaneously.
"Yes, I really didn't expect it. I chatted with them before and knew that it wasn't long before they reached the realm of great swordsman. I didn't expect that they would be promoted to swordsman so soon. Back then, I was promoted to swordsman at the age of 45. It's true that the young are to be feared." Doctor Sun said with envy.
The reason why he was promoted to a swordsman at the age of forty-five was certainly related to his passion for medicine, but then again, as a famous doctor in the capital, his training resources were far more abundant than those of ordinary people. So being promoted to a swordsman at the age of forty-five was not something to boast about. Naturally, he was envious of Hua Yue and others who were promoted to swordsmen before the age of twenty.
"Let's go and take a look." It was a gratifying thing for Mu Hanyan to witness the breakthroughs of several good friends with her own eyes. Mu Hanyan immediately walked towards Master Qu's residence.
Soon, Mu Hanyan and others arrived outside the bamboo house.
From a distance, Hua Yue, Zirong and Jiang Yuzhe could be seen sitting cross-legged beside the clear stream, while Ye Lanxun and Qu Shanling were guarding them.
"Lan..." Mu Hanyan was about to speak, but changed her mind and swallowed the words back.
Although with the talents of Hua Yue Zirong and others, it would not be too dangerous to be promoted to sword masters, it is still better not to disturb them as much as possible.
Although Mu Hanyan changed her mind in time and did not speak, Ye Lanxun and Qu Shanling were both fully focused and still heard the noise and turned their heads.
Only then did Mu Hanyan notice that both of their faces were filled with worry.
"Did something unexpected happen?" Mu Hanyan had an ominous premonition in her heart.
"Is everything okay?" Ye Lanxuan took a few steps forward and whispered to Mu Hanyan, his eyes full of concern.
Qu Shanling also looked at Mu Hanyan, and seeing that she was safe and sound, her face was full of joy.
"It's nothing. I just saw the star map and suddenly had some insights." Mu Hanyan said.
"I guess so. The star map is indeed a bit strange." Ye Lanxuan nodded.
Although he had guessed that Mu Hanyan had suddenly experienced enlightenment, her mind entering a state of emptiness and clarity, and knew that for a cultivator, this kind of enlightenment was a rare opportunity, and he was very happy for Mu Hanyan, he couldn't help but feel worried. It was just that Zirong and the other two had reached the breakthrough point of the Sword Master at the same time, and the situation was a bit strange, so he had to come to protect them.
"What happened to them?" Mu Hanyan didn't have time to explain the star map to him in detail. She glanced at Hua Yue and the others and asked worriedly.
"Something is wrong with him. He has only been promoted to a great swordsman not long ago, and he hasn't taken any exotic flowers, herbs, or elixirs. Logically, he shouldn't have broken through so quickly. But shortly after you entered Kongming, they suddenly showed signs of breaking through, and at no particular order." Ye Lanxuan said solemnly.
Hearing this, Mu Hanyan also felt that something was amiss. For a cultivator, while opportunity was certainly important for breakthroughs and advancements, a strong foundation was equally crucial. After all, only through accumulated strength can a strong foundation be achieved. However, while a strong foundation can be fully developed through perseverance and determination, opportunity often relies solely on chance. Without it, no matter how hard you try, there's nothing you can do. That's why everyone prioritizes opportunity over opportunity.
But in the final analysis, the foundation of strength is the most important thing. Hua Yue and others have only been promoted to great swordsmen for a short time, and they haven't taken any elixirs recently. Even if they have gained some insights after experiencing a series of hard battles, they shouldn't be promoted to swordsmen so quickly.
Mu Hanyan suddenly thought of another thing. At the beginning, when she obtained the Destiny Star Plate left by Mu Tianlie and her strength improved by leaps and bounds, Hua Yue and Zirong also greatly increased their strength overnight, directly improving by several levels.
This time, the situation was so similar.
Could it be that the improvement in their strength was related to him? Even Mu Hanyan herself found such speculation unbelievable.
But apart from this, Mu Hanyan really couldn't think of any other reason. Even the word coincidence was difficult to explain.
"Then what's wrong with them now?" Mu Hanyan finally put aside the speculation that even shocked and unbelievable herself, and asked Ye Lanxun.
