Therefore, in the hearts of the swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Ye Xiruo was more important than the Sword Tower. After all, the Sword Tower could only test their current cultivation level, while Ye Xiruo's pills could help them advance further.
Ye Xiruo wondered if she should sell all her pills through the Heavenly Sword Sect from now on. The competition from the Righteous Qi Pavilion was quite fierce.
Unlike the other swordsmen, the two elders' entire focus remained on Zishu. After all, with an oddball like Ye Xiruo around, and Zishu being Ye Xiruo's senior brother, reaching the ninth level was practically a certainty.
Unlike Ye Xiruo, Zishu has already comprehended the fourth level of sword intent and has cultivated a relatively large number of sword techniques. The first three levels are not difficult for Zishu.
However, after Ye Xiruo's reminder, Zishu still took those sword slaves seriously, comprehended the true meaning of their sword moves, and then integrated and absorbed it into his own swordsmanship, making his swordsmanship even more exquisite.
The sword formations after the fourth level are significantly more difficult. However, Zishu has experience with such battles before. In fact, through his exchanges with the sword slave, he has continuously stimulated his potential, and his sword has become faster and more powerful.
Ye Xiruo sold pills as usual, while keeping an eye on Zishu's movements. This sword tower was a relatively gentle training place in the Heavenly Sword Sect. She hoped that her senior brother would like it and gain some insights from it.
Zishu's comprehension was directly proportional to his cultivation speed, and comprehending the sword slave's sword moves was not a difficult thing for him.
On the contrary, he and Yingxun had been in seclusion at You Ran Ju, refining pills and reading secret manuals, and hadn't had such a pleasant battle in a long time. Finally getting this opportunity, Zishu was extremely excited and thrilled.
Zishu fought with great enthusiasm in the Sword Tower, conquering the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh floors one by one.
As expected of Ye Xiruo's senior brother, a prominent figure in the Haoqi Pavilion, Zishu is conservatively estimated to be able to enter the ninth level.
This is something that ordinary alchemists cannot do; clearly, Zishu is no ordinary person.
Their guess soon became a reality. The four swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Sect were all thrown back, with the best result being the fifth level.
Even if Zishu wanted to keep a low profile and avoid the limelight, it probably wouldn't work now. Zishu is currently on the eighth floor, fighting a bloody battle, haha, it's not that exaggerated.
Although Zishu's spiritual power level is not as high as Ye Xiruo's, it is far stronger than that of an ordinary alchemist, not to mention compared to this group of swordsmen.
With the aid of his mental power, Zishu was better able than the swordsman to judge and comprehend the changes in the sword slave's sword moves.
Ye Xiruo had almost sold out of her pills and was preparing to close up shop.
"Master Ye, you're not telling me the pills are sold out, are you?" This look of utter despair greatly amused Ye Xiruo.
"Yes, please come earlier next time."
"Master Ye Dan, could you please let me know when you'll be setting up your stall next time? I'd like to come early and queue up."
"Okay, I'll have Xiu Qiyu inform you when the time comes. Don't worry, the pills will definitely be available."
"Thank you, Master Ye."
"You're welcome." In Ye Xiruo's eyes, these swordsmen were quite adorable now; they were all little angels who had come to deliver spirit crystals to her.
Ye Xiruo's identity as a pill refiner was only revealed in the last few days. Originally, many swordsmen were preparing to challenge Ye Xiruo. They were picking on the weak, and Ye Xiruo was exactly that kind of easy target.
However, after the news leaked out, he was severely reprimanded by the two elders. What were they saying again?
"You are all swordsmen, geniuses from all over the world, and the future hope of our Heavenly Sword Sect. You have seen the results of the Sword Tower. You are actually inferior to the alchemists of the Righteous Qi Pavilion, and now you want to challenge them. Is your minds really filled with nothing but sword energy?" The two elders were quite angry.
The swordsmen all hung their heads, their faces filled with disbelief. This was impossible; they couldn't even compare to a mere alchemist. Had all those years of swordsmanship training been for nothing?
"That's the truth. She's a genius alchemist from the Haoqi Pavilion. She came to our Tianjian Sect to select a protector, and her selection criterion is her own performance in the Sword Tower. Now, what else do you have to say?"
"Elder, why didn't you tell us in advance? If you had told us beforehand, we would have risked our lives to fight our way into the tenth floor."
"Wake up! Do you think the Sword Tower is so easy to break through? Except for Xiu Qiyu, you were all thrown out. How did you feel seeing yourselves being hacked to death?"
"Elder, do we really have no chance? Even if we can't challenge Ye Xiruo, we should still challenge Xiu Qiyu."
"That's right, we must fight Xiu Qiyu to the death."
"Night Alchemist belongs to us."
"Let's go, let's send a challenge to Xiu Qiyu right now."
"Have you thought this through? Xiu Qiyu is someone who actually made it to the eleventh floor; there's no faking it."
"What's there to be afraid of? For Master Ye Dan, we are willing to risk our lives, shed our blood, climb mountains of knives, and plunge into seas of fire, without hesitation."
"Unfortunately, Master Ye has already made his choice, and that person is Xiu Qiyu."
"Elder, we disagree."
"If you're not happy, then keep it to yourself."
"Brothers, I want to take a sword and kill someone."
"Me too."
"Once Xiu Qiyu emerges from seclusion, you can challenge him at will. As for whether he will accept, we don't know."
"Do you dare to fight me fair and square? If not, you are not qualified to be the protector of Night Alchemist."
"good."
The two alchemists were speechless at the group of swordsmen who were so incredibly foolish. If they were Xiu Qiyu's opponents, Ye Xiruo would not have chosen Xiu Qiyu instead of them.
"You all need to save your breath and think more about how to cultivate in the future. Night Alchemist, you should just give up."
"No, we promised not to abandon or give up, we will never give up. I'm going to find Master Ye now."
"No one is allowed to disturb Master Ye's cultivation; otherwise, he will be confined to a secluded place for ten years."
"Ten years of seclusion, that's ruthless."
"Master Ye Dan is an honored guest of our Heavenly Sword Sect. You had better remember that you are members of the Heavenly Sword Sect and represent the honor of our Heavenly Sword Sect."
"Yes, Elder."
Now, Ye Xiruo's true identity was completely exposed, and many people found it hard to accept. Why was she, a pill refiner, so skilled in swordsmanship? Why did she choose to refine pills when she could have become a swordsman?
Their expressions were as complicated as their hearts, but they all remembered the elder's instructions, and no one disturbed Ye Xiruo's cultivation.
