7: Chapter 7 Hair

"You ordered a table full of delicacies and enjoyed them thoroughly."

"Afterwards, you bought a lot of food and put it all into your Infinite Storage Space."

"On the road, you encountered many Bandits, but you 'robbed the rich to help the poor' from all of them."

"Yes, you are very poor."

"After this replenishment, running for another two or three years won't be a problem."

"The space also has a freezing function, which is very basic and convenient."

"After eating and drinking your fill, you lay on the inn bed, looking at the books in your hands with great interest."

"These are all basic information about this world; most are geographical in nature, with a small portion about the Jianghu Schools in various regions."

"The country you are in is called Chen State, which is very large, and its local administrative system consists of Dao, Prefecture, Commandery, and City."

"For the past six months, you have been wandering around Changye Prefecture, and now you are far away from Qingyun City."

"You are currently in Hai'ning City."

"There are also various Families, Gangs, and martial arts halls here, with the lowest level being True Qi."

"Most cities are like this; only in the Prefectures are there Martial Artists above the True Qi level, which is the Innate level."

"Prefecture cities are larger, have more resources, and are hubs for various regions; according to the books, they are very prosperous."

"Besides this, you also learned about the subsequent Martial Dao Realms."

"The path of cultivation."

"Namely the Qi and Blood Realm, True Qi Realm, Innate Realm, Inner Gang Realm, Outer Gang Realm, Refining Strength Realm, Heaven-Man Unity Realm, True Core Realm, Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, and finally the Martial Artist."

"Ten major Realms."

"From Qi and Blood to Refining Strength, all are divided into nine layers."

"The Heaven-Man Realm, True Core Realm, Grandmaster Realm, and Martial Artist are divided into four minor Realms: low-stage, mid-stage, high-stage, and Peak."

"Putting down the book, you sighed: 'This world is too interesting; at the True Core Realm, one can already fly by controlling Qi.'"

"'A Martial Arts Grandmaster can even sever rivers with a palm, shatter mountains with a sword, and live freely for a thousand years.'"

"'As for the final Martial Artist, they have already condensed their Martial Dao True Intent, transcending the mundane, and their lifespan exceeds two thousand years.'"

"Tsk tsk tsk, reading this makes you yearn for it."

"In Chen State, a Martial Arts Grandmaster is already the Peak."

"There are those at the Martial Artist level in other countries."

"But they are very far from Chen State, and perhaps you won't see one even once in your lifetime."

"After resting for two days in Hai'ning City, you continued walking east."

"In your view, only by leaving Changye Prefecture can you have some sense of security."

"Your thoughts are also very simple: find a safe place to practice swordsmanship and cultivate until you reach the Peak of the True Qi Realm."

"Then live for fifty years!"

"Time continued to pass."

"One year later."

"In the eighth year, you arrived at Changhe Prefecture, which is east of Changye Prefecture, and settled down in a remote small city here."

"You bought a courtyard and focused on cultivation."

"As for daily necessities and cultivation resources, you have already accumulated a lot in the space, and they are completely sufficient for the short term."

"After running for a year and a half, you didn't really cultivate much, so your cultivation progress was slow, and you are still at the second layer of the True Qi Realm."

"In the courtyard, you took out the Xiaoyue Sword Technique and compared it with the Qingming Fist Technique for a while, but ultimately decided to practice swordsmanship."

"First, the Sword Technique can be cultivated to the Peak."

"Second, the Sword Technique has stronger offensive capabilities, which also includes combinations with movement techniques and leg techniques."

"Finally, you have the shenxing sword, so using a sword will be more convenient in the future."

"Changing Cultivation Technique is not easy, especially in the True Qi Realm."

"After all, the flow of Meridians, the rules of circulating the Great Circulation, and so on, all need to be changed."

"Fortunately, you have plenty of time and are fearless."

"Half a year later, you had bit by bit replaced the Qingming True Qi with Xiaoyue True Qi."

"You were also familiar with every move of the Xiaoyue Sword Technique and could fully use it for combat."

"In the courtyard, you held the shenxing sword and danced with it non-stop."

"A quarter of an hour later, you put down the sword, feeling refreshed all over: 'Having a weapon versus not having one is completely different!'"

"You put away the shenxing sword, sat cross-legged, and circulated the Xiaoyue True Qi; very quickly, you completed one Great Circulation, and it still felt incredibly good."

"The ninth year."

"After changing the Cultivation Technique, you had only been cultivating for half a year, so your cultivation naturally couldn't break through, but your True Qi had become much deeper."

"Every movement could trigger the Xiaoyue True Qi, and in battle, you could also rely on micro-adjustments to win."

"The tenth year."

"You continued your hard training, working twice as hard, and the True Qi became more and more abundant, filling your Acupoints and Meridians to the brim."

"Ten years have passed."

"You are already twenty-five years old."

"Your white hair dances wildly; your appearance is still young, your features are handsome, you have more charm, and your temperament has matured a lot."

"Standing under the tree in the courtyard, you glanced at the space and were quite satisfied: 'Very good, all kinds of accumulations are sufficient; a lifetime without worries.'"

"These supplies were all borrowed from those Bandits and mountain robbers when you went out, which is very convenient."

"The Infinite Storage Space is infinitely large, so convenient."

"After watching for a while, you took out a bottle of Touch-Touch Poison and examined it carefully."

"'Touch-Touch Poison, Touch-Touch Poison, it doesn't sound very good; let's change the name.'"

"You thought for a while and suddenly had an idea: 'This poison originates from my skin; the skin is related to the kidneys, the kidneys govern Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang are related to the Eight Trigrams and the Five Elements, so why not—'"

"'Just call it Zhou Poison.'"

"Two reasons."

"First, 'Zhou' is taken from the 'Zhou' in the Book of Changes; second, your surname is Zhou."

"It was happily decided just like that."

"Immediately after, you took out the shenxing sword: 'Since we are changing names, you can't be spared either.'"

"'You are used for acceleration, and when speed reaches the ultimate, it can Reverse the Future, so—you shall be called the Ultimate Sword.'"

"After changing the names of the Touch-Touch Poison and the shenxing sword, you felt even more comfortable."

"You had more motivation for daily cultivation."

"In the eleventh year, you broke through to the third layer of the True Qi Realm; your swordsmanship was outstanding, every move and style had merged with yourself, and your combat power greatly increased."

"Applying Zhou Poison before battle would only make the effect stronger."

"A sword is an inanimate object and cannot be directly infected by your Zhou Poison, but just pouring bottled Zhou Poison on it is fine."

"As the saying goes, 'a mop dipped in shit is like Lu Bu reincarnated'; the Ultimate Sword paired with Zhou Poison is basically bringing Xingtian back to life."

"The twelfth year, nothing happened."

"The thirteenth year, you broke through to the fourth layer of the True Qi Realm."

"One minor Realm every two years; this speed is okay, completely acceptable."

"The fifteenth year, another two years later, you didn't break through, but you did wait for someone to arrive."

"In the early morning."

"You were circulating your Cultivation Technique and nourishing your True Qi."

"A knock on the door sounded."

"You took a deep breath and smelled a familiar scent."

"It was Killing Intent."

"The opponent's cultivation was also very strong, exactly at the fifth layer of the True Qi Realm."

"One minor Realm higher than you."

"You were silent for a while, but finally stood up and took out the Ultimate Sword."

"It's just one minor Realm; with the Ultimate Sword and Zhou Poison, you won't necessarily lose."

"Even if you can't beat them, you can still run away."

"You walked towards the door."

"Before you reached the door, it shattered into pieces, forcibly broken by someone using True Qi."

"'Sorry, I waited for too long and couldn't help myself.'"

"The person who came was dressed in black, looked like a young man, and had a sword strapped to his back."

"You examined him carefully."

"'I have a question.'"

"The young man in black nodded: 'Ask; as long as I know, I will definitely tell you.'"

"'Can you draw your sword?'"

"The young man was stunned for a moment, then his right hand directly grasped the sword hilt behind him, and then he circulated his True Qi to pop the long sword out."

"It was also at this instant that you drew your sword and rushed up: 'Harboring a burning, stubborn heart…'"

"Your singing voice followed."

"At the same time, the Xiaoyue True Qi vibrated, and the Zhou Poison on the Ultimate Sword began to spin and flew out."
