Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Still Need to Work Hard

"How much longer will it take for this Alchemy Furnace to finish refining?" Xu Feng entered the Artifact Refining Room and asked.

"Five months." Ling Qian replied coldly.

"Then take your time to refine it, no need to rush."

Xu Feng left the Artifact Refining Room.

In the Kunxu Realm, at the frontline of the Human Clan outside Demon Slaying Immortal City, a routine grand battle was underway.

Xu Ming was seen shuttling through the battlefield under the protection of two blue Giant Swords.

Any Demon Clan member with Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation or lower was instantly slain.

Upon encountering Demon Clan powerhouses above the Divinity Transformation Realm, he would join forces with his Daoist companions to resist.

"Brother Xu!" Xu Cangyan roared loudly.

A clear cyan Sword Qi, along with the two blue Giant Swords, struck simultaneously at a distant Demon Beast in the Void Refinement Realm with a massive figure.

In the midst of battle, casualties occurred from time to time, but generally, important members from both the Human Clan and Demon Clan were always promptly saved.

After a battle ended, with the retreat of the Demon Clan, Xu Mingfeng began to clean up the battlefield.

"Recently, I’ve noticed that Brother Xu’s Sword Dao has become increasingly profound; are you about to break through?"

Xu Cangyan was collecting the inner cores of the Demon Clan he had slain.

"Still a ways off. I’ve had some insights into the Sword Dao recently, so my combat strength has improved slightly."

Under Xu Ming’s nimble control, a small sword effortlessly extracted the inner cores of several Demon Beasts in the Divinity Transformation Realm that he had killed.

As everyone was collecting inner core materials, a powerful Sword Intent suddenly erupted in the sky.

A white giant snake fell from the sky, with a thorough wound at its seventh inch.

"After every battle, there are a few Demon Clan members trying to sneak through, so silly." Xu Cangyan looked at the white snake and suddenly felt like eating a snake meat hotpot.

"Uncle, may I cut a piece of snake meat?" Xu Cangyan transmitted his voice to someone behind him.

"Sure~"

"Brother Xu, hurry up and come with me; we’re in for a treat today."

"Snake meat hotpot of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, guaranteed to be delicious and nourishing."

Inside a restaurant in Demon Slaying Immortal City, Xu Ming, Xu Cangyan, and Long Zhengyu were heartily eating snake meat hotpot.

"Let me tell you, the snake meat hotpot at this place is absolutely unique. Whenever you encounter a high cultivation snake from the Snake Clan, bringing the meat here for a hotpot is definitely the right choice."

Xu Cangyan picked up a piece of cooked snake meat with his chopsticks, dipped it in sauce, and put it in his mouth, showing a satisfied expression on his face.

"It’s delicious, but too little." Long Zhengyu grumbled.

"Big Brother Long, your special portion is being prepared in the kitchen, it’ll be brought over soon," Xu Ming said.

Ever since he arrived in Demon Slaying Immortal City, he was warmly entertained by the two men.

And in these few months, they struck up a friendship akin to that of comrades-in-arms.

"I’m planning to go home to see my elder brother. I haven’t heard from him lately," Xu Ming said.

"Your elder brother is probably studying new Spiritual Medicine."

"The Spiritual Medicine your elder brother sent over recently is getting more outrageous."

"Those summoned battle spirits from the past require the control of Heart God."

"Now, the Spirit Swords summoned by taking Spiritual Medicine even have their own Spiritual Wisdom!" Xu Cangyan was amazed to say, owning several such pills himself but had not had the courage to use them.

"I have a feeling that if it continues to develop, the summoned battle spirits won’t even need our own control."

Long Zhengyu, holding his newly served snake meat, boasted block by block.

"Going home to check on your elder brother would be good, and tell him to rest more, no need to send so much Spiritual Medicine to the frontline."

According to Xu Cangyan, given his understanding of Alchemists and seeing the Spiritual Medicine Xu Feng provided for Xu Ming, he figured Xu Ming’s elder brother likely never rested.

"It’s indeed time for elder brother to rest more."

Five days later, within the Xu Family Courtyard, a Sword Boat slowly descended.

"Little brother, have you completed your Sword Dao cultivation?" Xu Feng happily asked his younger brother.

"Not yet, just came back to see elder brother, will visit father and mother tomorrow, then head back," Xu Ming said.

"No rush, come with me."

Xu Feng led Xu Ming to the Artifact Refining Room.

At that moment, Ling Qian was inscribing an Array onto a cyan Alchemy Furnace.

"Ling Qian, our Xu Family’s exclusive Spirit Clan Artifact Refiner. From now on, all the Dao Artifacts you use, leave them all to Ling Qian to refine."

"Ling Qian, take a look at my younger brother, design a set of Sword Cultivator Dao Artifact armor for him."

In a previous life, custom-made items are the most expensive, and it’s the same in the Immortal Realm.

Tailor-made Dao Artifacts are generally three to four times more expensive than regular ones of the same level.

Ling Qian, engraving Runes on the Dao Artifact Furnace, turned his head to look at Xu Ming.

"Go to the Taichu Sacred Land Illusion Realm Dojo, challenge all types of Divinity Transformation Realm Demon Clan, and bring back the light and shadow recordings for me to see."

Ling Qian looked back at the Dao Artifact Furnace and resumed carefully inscribing the Rune Array.

"Let’s go, to the Illusion Realm Dojo together, let me see the results of your recent Sword Dao cultivation."

The two brothers headed to the Taichu Sacred Land.

Inside an Illusion Realm Dojo, Xu Feng admired his younger brother’s heroic figure on the battlefield and nodded in satisfaction.

"I’ve heard there is a ranking for Sword Dao, where do you stand within the Divinity Transformation Realm?"

In the various rankings of the Taichu Sacred Land, only the top hundred are shown, with the rest only viewable by the individuals themselves.

"5732nd place, I’ve been consistently on the frontline lately, so my ranking has risen a lot."

Xu Ming joined forces with a Sword Dao Illusion, applied the Liangyi Sword Formation, and directly annihilated dozens of Divinity Transformation Realm Demon Clan.

"Amazing!" Xu Feng cheered.

Following Ling Qian’s requirements, Xu Ming fought against all types of Demon Clan and had Xiao Hei provide the light and shadow recordings.

"Do you know about the Sword Spirit Secret Realm in the Tianxuan Sacred Land?" Xu Feng asked.

"I’ve heard of it. Whether it’s Sword Cultivators or other Cultivators, everyone can obtain a Sword Spirit after entering."

"Sword Spirits that are strong can help their master control ten thousand swords to kill enemies."

"Even the weaker ones can be used as daily Artifact Spirits," Xu Ming said.

"I had an opportunity to enter the Sword Spirit Secret Realm in the Tianxuan Sacred Land, but you go instead."

Just by the name, the Sword Spirit Secret Realm seemed like a place meant for Sword Cultivators.

"Big brother, don’t think that the Sword Spirit Secret Realm is suitable for me just because of its name."

"Getting an ordinary Sword Spirit wouldn’t be much help to me, but it would be really useful for you."

"The Sword Spirit Secret Realm is better suited for you to go," Xu Ming shook his head in refusal.

"That’s fine."

Just as they were about to leave the Illusion Realm Dojo, Xu Feng suddenly thought of his pet ’tortoise son.’

"Xiao Jin’s combat power has greatly increased lately. Do you want to try it out?"

Xu Ming was stunned, then remembered the scene where Xiao Jin had suppressed him.

"Come, let me see just how strong Xiao Jin’s combat capabilities are," Xu Ming became interested.

Inside the Illusion Realm Dojo, a Golden Armored Spirit Turtle the size of a round table appeared and even nodded in greeting to Xu Ming.

"Activate the life-and-death battle illusion mode," Xu Ming said, looking up at the sky.

The environment of the dojo changed instantly, and soon a man and a turtle appeared in the midst of a ruined Immortal City.

The giant city seemed weathered by the winds of myriad years, everywhere were the remnants of broken walls and shattered stones.

"Xiao Jin, go all out," Xu Feng commanded.

"Wuu~"

The battle began, and Xu Ming instantly created a Sword Dao Illusion. Together they launched their full power to strike at the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle.

A thick Golden Shield flickering with endless Runes protected the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle.

A tumultuous Sun Essence Fire rose and then condensed into a Dharma Form towering dozens of meters high, with the silhouette of a Golden Crow behind it.

"Duang!!"

The Sword Qi struck the Sun Essence Fire’s Dharma Form without causing any ripple.

"Aowuu!"

The massive Sun Essence Fire Dharma Form, with unexpected agility, charged towards Xu Ming.

Dozens of golden chains as thick as an adult’s thigh flew out from the Dharma Form, winding towards Xu Ming.

As the Illusion Realm Dojo grew increasingly hotter, Xu Ming saw that his sword strike still could not break the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle’s defense, his eyes showing a shocked expression.

Not far away, the Sword Dao Illusion felt compelled and directly possessed Xu Ming.

A hundred-meter tall Sword Dao Dharma Form appeared, wielding a Giant Sword and launching the strongest strike towards the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle.

"Heavenly Peak, Slash!"

The chains burning with Sun Essence Fire engulfed that hundred-meter Sword Dao Dharma Form.

"Boom!"

The entire Daoist Field shook.

That strongest sword slash hit the Sun Essence Fire’s Dharma Form and struck the Golden Shield protecting the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle.

"Aowuu!!"

Countless chains tightened suddenly.

The Sun Essence Fire burning on the chains intensified, and the Sword Dao Dharma Form crumbled directly.

Taking advantage of the moment, countless chains immediately entwined around Xu Ming’s main body, ending the battle.

The Illusion Realm Dojo reverted back, and Xu Ming looked bewilderedly at the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle.

"Big brother, Xiao Jin is also..."

"It looks like you still have to work hard. Xiao Jin’s defense was almost broken," Xu Feng said.

"Big brother, this isn’t about whether the defense can be broken anymore."

"Once Xiao Jin grows up, who will need me?"

Thinking about how his big brother said he was the Xu Family’s pillar of strength, Xu Ming felt it was all a joke.

"You should hurry up. Stepping through the Immortal Sect within a thousand years, and cultivating the Golden Immortal Dao within ten thousand years shouldn’t be a problem."

"But for Xiao Jin, ten thousand years is just the beginning of his growth, and who knows when he’ll step through the Immortal Sect."

"So, our lineage of the Xu Family in the Taichu Immortal Realm still relies on you to hold it up."

"Xiao Jin beating you is only because of his superior bloodline advantage; you haven’t lost," Xu Feng said, always encouraging his younger brother.

"I always feel like big brother, you’re fooling me," Xu Ming said with a wry smile.

"Big brother, I am going to see dad and mom tomorrow, then return to the Kunxu Realm the day after tomorrow. I feel like my Sword Dao still needs more refining."

"Be cautious above all, life is the most important."

"Understood."

In the Xu Family Courtyard, Xu Feng watched the departing Sword Boat with some emotion.

"On the path of growth, everyone is busy~"

With that, Xu Feng continued to study the Earth Spirit Fortune Pill’s Dan Recipe.

The more he studied it, the more miraculous it seemed.

"Neutralizing one’s own misfortune, choosing between rights for fortune."

There was only so much description about this Dan Recipe, but Xu Feng discovered a very magical phenomenon through those Ancient Spiritual Medicines.

The Spiritual Medicines of the Ancient times each contained a trace of Dao’s Spiritual Charm to some extent.

As time passed, the Spiritual Charm of the Medicines gradually diminished.

"Xiao Hei, bring out all the Ancient Pill Recipes from the Sacred Land for me; I want to review them."

A light screen appeared in front of Xu Feng, displaying various Ancient Elixir Dan Recipes.

Xu Feng casually selected a few hundred types.

A Transfer Array appeared, with the neatly arranged Ancient Pill Recipes placed on the Transfer Array.

"It’s great to have access rights~"
