Follow the path of Dao from infancy - Chapter 668

Chapter 668: Chapter 125: Bian Ruxue, the Saintess (Three-in-One Chapter)_3

“No matter what, for pointing out the flaws in my Sword Dao, I still need to thank you. Whatever you want, just tell me. I’ll do my best to help you within my abilities.”

Lin Qingyue said. Her expression was cool and indifferent, that was just her nature. She didn’t like owing anyone anything and kept everything calculated and clear.

“I haven’t repaid you for saving my life earlier, so this small thing is nothing. I was just mentioning it casually.”

Li Hao glanced at her, thinking about the enormous experience he had just gained, and hesitated before saying,

“If you truly want to thank me, it’s not impossible. Perhaps you could let me draw a few more paintings of you in the future?”

“You brat!”

Before Lin Qingyue could respond, Lin Shanhai became anxious, glaring at Li Hao. Was everything he had just said wasted?

Even Lin Qingyue was slightly taken aback. Remembering the previous painting, the tips of her ears reddened slightly. She gazed at Li Hao, as if trying to find and confirm something in his eyes.

But Li Hao’s gaze was calm and did not evade in the slightest.

Lin Qingyue took a deep look at him, turned her head, and said calmly, “No problem. If you can find flaws in my Sword Dao again, I will only be grateful to you.”

“So, you’re agreeing?”

A smile appeared on Li Hao’s face.

Lin Qingyue didn’t say anything but flew back to the courtyard to continue practicing her swordsmanship.

This action was tantamount to acquiescence.

Otherwise, if she was unwilling, she had a thousand ways to ensure Li Hao wouldn’t even get another chance to see her.

After all, she was the saintess of the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, with authority second only to the Half-Saint Elders.

“Qingfeng, oh Qingfeng, why don’t you ever listen to advice?”

Lin Shanhai made a pained face, suddenly feeling like he had led a wolf into the house.

“Old Lin, oh Old Lin, don’t worry so much. I have no other intentions toward Qingyue. Please believe in my devotion to the Artistic Path. It’s purely about painting. How about I paint a few for you too?”

Li Hao said sincerely.

Lin Shanhai looked at Li Hao’s earnest gaze with suspicion, “Really?”

“Couldn’t be more true!”

Li Hao replied.

Lin Shanhai saw Li Hao guaranteeing so earnestly and secretly sighed in relief, “Alright then, I’ll trust you this once.”

Li Hao felt a bit helpless and didn’t say more on the topic.

The conversation between the two also fell on Lin Qingyue’s ears. She frowned slightly and swung her sword faster, as if she wanted to dismiss all these words.

Before long, she once again immersed herself fully in the cultivation of her Sword Intent.

…

Since Li Hao expressed his wish to paint Lin Qingyue, Lin Shanhai had his attendant build another courtyard for Li Hao at the back.

Even though Old Lin said he trusted Li Hao, his actions still subtly suggested he was warding off a wolf.

Li Hao could only smile wryly at this, but he didn’t mind. With a private courtyard, he could find more peace.

Outside of painting and carving, he also focused on healing himself.

The void power that had penetrated his body had already been quietly eliminated by more than half. The good thing about this Land of All Saints was that its Heaven and Earth Energy was extremely abundant, at least ten times that of the Mortal World.

No wonder Martial Artists all longed to step into the Immortal Gate.

A tenfold increase in cultivation speed also slowed down the aging of one’s lifespan.

Cultivating here for a year was equivalent to ten years in the Mortal World, yet it only consumed one year of lifespan!

However, for Li Hao, it didn’t matter whether it was here or the Mortal World; he just wanted to live each day earnestly and interestingly.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Hao’s injuries had mostly healed. The void power that coursed through him like cracks had accelerated its elimination as his flesh healed.

With his body recovering, aside from painting and carving, Li Hao also began cultivating.

In his previous battle with the Void Saint, he had broken the Heaven and Earth Vein, causing all major meridians in his body to rupture and destroy.

While his flesh had healed, the opened meridians still needed to be reformed.

Fortunately, with his previous cultivation techniques, reopening the major meridians was not a difficult task for Li Hao.

He set up a Barrier in his small courtyard and used Hidden Bow and All Phenomena attributes to thoroughly conceal his aura.

Then he began operating the Meridian Opening Skill, re-opening each of the major meridians.

The 108 major meridians were all reopened with the operation of Li Hao’s cultivation technique.

The remaining two meridians were the Mystic Vein and the Yang Meridian. Li Hao could reopen the Mystic Vein by cultivating the Thousand Flood Dragons Holy Body Skill.

As for the Yang Meridian, Li Hao also found its location, situated within the cranial top, a perilous spot where a minor misstep could lead to madness, or worse, death by cerebral explosion.

But for Li Hao, who now mastered the Seventh Extreme Realm, opening the Yang Meridian turned out to be the easiest thing.

Even if his head exploded, he could be reborn from a single drop of blood.

Soon enough, after two attempts, the first failed, with his head exploding, but when regrown, the second attempt succeeded.

Without the Seventh Extreme Realm, any other Heavenly Pride would have perished if they tried to open the Yang Meridian without a special Secret Technique, regardless of their monstrous talent.

With the opening of both the Yin and Yang meridians, the Heaven and Earth Vein once again appeared.

Seven Extreme Realm plus a Half Ultimate Realm, this was the height Li Hao had currently ascended to.

In the days to come, he began to condense his Dao Power. Previously, when he went to the Immortal Gate, he had just entered the Tao Comprehension Realm and his Dao Power had not completely transformed. Later, when his Dao Power was scattered in battle, he was now only at the early True Man Realm, with shallow Dao Power inside.

The strength of the Enlightened Truth Realm depended on the degree of Dao Power condensation.

The indestructible nature of Dao Power theoretically suggested that as long as it was condensed deeply and strongly enough, it could almost serve as absolute defense.

Sitting in the courtyard, aside from carving and painting at leisure, all that remained was the tedious conversion of Dao Power.

Every morning, Li Hao would also visit Lin Shanhai’s Alchemy Room to help him refine herbs.
