Da Xuan Martial Saint

By the time he arrived at the rear cliff, he saw that beneath the ancient tree beside the mountain rock, Qin Mengjun's figure had already appeared, still clad in plain clothes, but her skin was as clear as glass, unblemished by even a speck of dust.

This scene,

suddenly filled Chen Mu's heart with emotion.

He couldn't help but to remember many years ago, when he first entered the Seven Profound Sect and became a disciple under Spirit Profound Peak.

Back then, Qin Mengjun also stood there, but at that time her Realm was so profound that it was difficult for him to even look up to her, feeling as if she was connected to the heavens and the earth, a part of the entire sky.

But now,

Qin Mengjun still stood there, yet the feeling she gave was entirely different, different in all kinds of ways.

First was her aura; if many years ago Qin Mengjun's aura seemed to be fused with the sky, standing there as if she were an empty void, her existence not perceivable, then now, her aura spread through the Void, seemingly omnipresent, as if under that expanse of sky, everywhere was a place she established herself.

In terms of Realm, there was no doubt that the now Blood Exchange-phase Qin Mengjun had reached a higher level than before, having arrived at the pinnacle of Martial Arts, and her Qian Heaven Martial Body was truly cultivated to the utmost.

But in terms of the gap, the distance between him and Qin Mengjun, compared to the past, was unknown how many times smaller.

Even now, with their auras intermingling with heaven and earth, that vast and grandiose feeling no longer gave him the unreachable oppression of the past; he could even feel that the distance between him and her was very, very close.

"Disciple pays respects to Master."

Chen Mu stepped forward and respectfully saluted Qin Mengjun.

Qin Mengjun had a gentle expression, and before Chen Mu could finish his salute, she gestured with her hand to stop him, then seemingly out of nowhere, she took out a yellow sheet of paper, tossed it lightly, and the frail yellow paper flew towards Chen Mu through the air, landing in front of him.

Chen Mu reached out to receive the yellow paper, and with one glance, he saw that it was a highly complex Prescription, the most intricate he had ever seen, demanding dozens of different Medicinal Powders, with precise instructions on when to add which powder, whether it should be roasted with a gentle fire or burned with a forceful fire, the main ingredient being Mystic Tortoise Heart Blood.

"This is the Prescription for the Tortoise Ling Powder. You have some Mystic Tortoise Heart Blood, which should help in tempering your Martial Body. Ordinary Demon Blood from the tortoise can also be used, only the effect will be somewhat lesser, but your Martial Body has just reached Minor Achievement, so it should still be effective... Hm?"

Qin Mengjun was explaining to Chen Mu, then suddenly paused with a slight surprise in her tone as she looked at Chen Mu.

Because they were close enough, and Chen Mu did not overly conceal his entire Inner Breath in front of her, she noticed upon close observation that his Physique and Inner Breath seemed a bit more robust than before when they had hunted the Mystic Tortoise.

Normally, by the time one attained the Grandmaster Realm, tempering the Martial Body was a long process; even with an abundance of resources, it would be hard toil over many years, but here Chen Mu seemed to have made significant progress in just a short two months.

"Your skills seem to have improved again?"

Qin Mengjun quietly asked after sizing up Chen Mu.

"Yes, a Minor Achievement."

Chen Mu was still looking at the Prescription in his hand, not until he had memorized all of the content did he put it away in his sleeve, and turned towards Qin Mengjun. He then formally saluted and said, "Master has worked hard. Since I became a disciple at the Sect Gate and have been cultivating Martial Arts up until now, I have benefited from Master's care and cultivation, finally achieving a Minor Achievement. I am here to express my deep gratitude to Master."
