NOVPUBWhen he spoke of stopping killing with killing,
Gu Qingfeng could sense that the murderous intent emanating from Gu Yang had intensified substantially.
"Stopping killing with killing!"
"What you say is not without merit."
Gu Qingfeng nodded.
Gu Yang had a strong penchant for killing, yet he was not addicted to bloodshed; in the current chaotic world, excessive compassion proved to be the most fatal.
If one harbored murderous intentions, it was not necessarily a bad thing.
Therefore,
Gu Qingfeng did not continue to advise anything further, instead letting Gu Yang go down to cultivate diligently and to keep an eye on the activities in the Martial World. If there was any problem he could not solve, he could report to him immediately.
To this,
Gu Yang naturally nodded in agreement and then bowed and withdrew.
Not long after Gu Yang left, Xu Yulan came walking slowly, her already beautiful face now seemed to have gained additional charm with the progress in her cultivation.
"Yang’er seems to have a bit too much murderous intent!"
Xu Yulan approached Gu Qingfeng and spoke softly.
Gu Qingfeng glanced at her and then shook his head with a faint smile, "A heavy murderous intent isn’t an issue, the chaotic world isn’t a peaceful era; just as Yang’er said, in this world, we can only stop killing with killing!"
Upon hearing this,
Xu Yulan also slightly nodded her head.
"My lord speaks truly, but Yang’er’s cultivation is still weak; if he encounters some stronger foes, I’m afraid it could be troublesome. My lord’s status is important and he cannot easily make a move, perhaps I should intervene?"
Currently, she was self-training in the realm of Iron Bone. Although she had not truly reached the Iron Bone Perfection to enter into the Bone Refining Realm, she was seemingly half-step into the Bone Refining Realm.
Gu Qingfeng said, "You have stepped into the half-step Bone Refining Realm, but you might not necessarily be a match for Yang’er. He has recently slain a true Bone Refining Realm martial artist.
Yang’er’s current cultivation, once he makes another breakthrough, ordinary Bone Refining Realm fighters could hardly pose a threat to him."
"Slain a Bone Refining Realm!"
Xu Yulan was shocked.
She had not anticipated that Gu Yang’s strength had reached such a formidable degree.
During these days,
Xu Yulan just knew that there was some disorder in White Stone Dao, and Gu Yang was leading the disciples of Gu Family Manor to suppress the disturbances, which is why she came forward, wanting to also contribute.
Having received the help of the Breakthrough Pill, Xu Yulan considered her strength to be formidable.
But now that Gu Yang could already slay Bone Refining Realm martial artists, her half-step Bone Refining Realm seemed somewhat insufficient.
"The affairs of the Martial World will be handled by us; you just stay with ease, striving to refine the Iron Bone to Perfection and step into the Bone Refining Realm."
"My husband is right."
"Where are Xuan’er and Xiu’er now?"
"They are sleeping. The children are young and sleep a lot, but with my lord helping them condition their body and genetic, they’re much more robust than ordinary children."
When mentioning Gu Xuan and Gu Xiu, Xu Yulan’s bright eyes also showed a bit more maternal tenderness.
Gu Qingfeng said, "The children are still young; after a few more years, they can start to cultivate martial arts."
"Speaking of which, Yang’er is also not too young; in a few years, it will be time for him to marry. He has been involved in much killing; perhaps acquiring a virtuous wife might alleviate some of his propensity for violence."
Xu Yulan suddenly changed the topic.
Gu Qingfeng’s expression became serious, "I have thought about what you said, but there’s no suitable match for the time being."
"If my lord trusts me, I’ll take care of this matter."
"It’s best if you would personally handle it."
Hearing Xu Yulan’s willingness to take charge of this matter, Gu Qingfeng naturally found no reason to disagree.
After all, these trivial matters were overwhelming for Gu Qingfeng to handle, and Xu Yulan’s involvement would make a difference.
Women.
Tend to be more meticulous.
——
In the following days,
Gu Qingfeng continued to delve into the comprehension of Domineering Blade and the cultivation of Green Sun Skills and Five Internal Organs Scripture.
Then,
he used Blade Nourishing Skills to fuse and nurture the Evil Slayer Blade.
Gu Yang had broken through and obtained ten Marrow Cleansing Pills, all of which Gu Qingfeng had now consumed. Indeed, the Marrow Cleansing Pill was a grade higher than the Bone Refining Pill.
Even with Gu Qingfeng’s current Cultivation Realm, taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill could still enhance his own strength.
Now, him.
Just talking about the depth of his foundation,
Gu Qingfeng suspected he could compare with a Martial Artist of the Third Realm of Refining Organ, even possibly the Fourth Realm.
If he were to go all out, battling the Fifth Realm wasn’t out of the question either.
As for whether he could compete with a Master, Gu Qingfeng couldn’t yet tell.
Because,
the strength of a Master.
Gu Qingfeng had only heard of it so far, never having truly encountered one.
Following the breakthrough into the Second Realm of Refining Organ, Gu Qingfeng found that his cultivation of Green Sun Skills seemed to have sped up significantly. The Green Sun Skills, which had already stepped into Small Success of the Fifth Layer, broke through to Great Success in just a few days.
With this pace, stepping into the Sixth Layer wouldn’t take much time either.
Unfortunately,
in terms of the cultivation of the Five Internal Organs Scripture, Gu Qingfeng still didn’t achieve much.
The breakthrough into the Third Realm of Refining Organ remained elusive.
Thus,
Gu Qingfeng even tried to comprehend the Mixed Yuan Treasure Manual, hoping to find a way to break through to the Third Realm of Refining Organ.
Since Gu Qingfeng was already at the Second Realm of Refining Organ, cultivating the Mixed Yuan Treasure Manual proved much easier.
In just a few days,
he had successfully cultivated the First Level of the Mixed Yuan Treasure Manual.
From this,
Gu Qingfeng also spotted another issue.
That is, although the supreme teachings of Refining Organ are difficult to start, once one gets past the beginner stage, cultivating martial arts of the same level and covering the previously trodden path much reduces the difficulty, bringing it down to almost zero.
Whether it was the original Five Internal Organs Scripture or the current Mixed Yuan Treasure Manual, it was all the same.
Unfortunately,
in some ways, the Mixed Yuan Treasure Manual closely resembled the Five Internal Organs Scripture, and even successfully cultivating the first two levels didn’t bring much change to his own strength.
"It seems the Five Internal Organs Scripture indeed ranks among the top Refining Organ supreme teachings. The organs tempered by this martial art have almost reached a state of Perfection."
"Because the organs are perfect, that’s why cultivating the Mixed Yuan Treasure Manual brought little enhancement."
"The previous cultivation of other martial arts could enhance vigor and cause physical changes because these martial arts weren’t truly flawless, and the human body hadn’t been fully developed to its utmost."
"If a Martial Artist’s body were truly developed to the utmost and every step were tempered to Perfection, then lower-ranked martial arts, no matter how much accumulated, would be useless!"
From his experience with the Mixed Yuan Treasure Manual, Gu Qingfeng gained some new insights into the past martial arts.
Now, him,
His body hadn’t yet reached the truly perfect state.
Only by melting together various martial arts and continuously solidifying his foundation could he reach true flawlessness.
At that time,
Gu Qingfeng believed his strength could trigger what is called a qualitative change.
"Soon!"
"With my current pace, I believe it won’t be long until my body is flawlessly whole!"
