Qi Refining Realm Level 3, Blazing Sun Heaven-Burning Slash!

Immediately, Lu Ze began collecting the spoils of war, obtaining over three thousand taels of silver notes and three top-grade mortal-level treasure swords. Then, using his solar true energy to activate golden true fire, he refined the three corpses into ashes.

At this moment, Lu Ze used his lightness skill to return to Qinghe Town and arrived at the Black Tiger Martial Arts School.

In the backyard of the martial arts school, Lin Feihu said, "Xiao Jiu, you've come to see me so late, is there something you need?"

"I have some gifts I want to give to my master, but it's not convenient for anyone to know."

After Lu Ze finished speaking, he took out the corpse of the Black Fiend Tiger from his Qiankun bag, cut off about three hundred catties of meat, and placed it on a wooden board.

This black tiger weighs only a little over a thousand pounds, and this is already one-third of its meat.

Lin Feihu was already shocked to see the top-tier ferocious beast, the Black Fiend Tiger, but he never expected that Lu Ze would give him so much meat from a top-tier ferocious beast.

The meat of top-grade ferocious beasts costs about 20 taels of silver per pound, so 300 pounds of meat is already worth 6,000 taels of silver.

Lin Feihu quickly shook his head and said, "This is too precious, I cannot accept it!"

Lu Ze smiled and said, "During my most difficult time, it was my sect that protected me, so please accept this. I wish my master a speedy breakthrough to the Condensation Realm!"

After he finished speaking, he used his light-footed skill to leave.

At this moment, Lin Muxue came out of the house and asked, "Father, what exactly is Junior Brother Lu's cultivation level?"

Lin Feihu said, "He is at least a minor Grandmaster of the Body Tempering Realm, the tenth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm. Originally, I was going to match you two up, but now it seems that Mu Xue, you are probably not suitable for Lu Ze."

He felt that Lu Ze was too outstanding and that he had a great secret. Such a person was like a legendary figure in a storybook, who would either soar to great heights or fall suddenly like a shooting star.

Upon hearing this, Lin Muxue blushed slightly, realizing that she had developed feelings for Lu Ze.

Immediately, Lin Feihu quickly moved the Black Fiend Tiger meat to the ice cellar for preservation.

Not long after, Lu Ze visited his senior brother Chen Xiong's home again, bringing about 100 jin of black tiger meat to thank Chen Xiong for his care.

"Thanks!"

Chen Xiong patted Lu Ze on the shoulder, his feelings were extremely complicated. He was moved by Lu Ze's gratitude and shocked by Lu Ze's strength. Being able to obtain the meat of a top-grade ferocious beast meant that Lu Ze's strength was far beyond what he knew.

Not long after, Lu Ze returned home.

Meanwhile, Second Senior Sister Zhao Yueling was still practicing martial arts in the courtyard.

Lu Ze gave Zhao Yueling two bottles of high-grade essence pills.

Zhao Yueling wanted to refuse.

Lu Ze replied, "Senior Sister, only when your cultivation improves can you better protect my family! Besides, since you've entrusted your life to me, I naturally want to pave a smooth path for you!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yueling was moved, a smile appearing on her face, and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother!"

Soon after, Lu Ze returned to his room, pondering the next direction for enhancement.

He checked the properties panel: 333 source points.

After thinking for a moment, he first consumed 100 Source Points to enhance a top-grade mortal-level Essence Pill into a top-grade first-level Azure Spirit Pill.

Immediately, Lu Ze took the Qingling Pill and began to refine it through his internal energy.

An hour later, he slowly finished his practice and checked his attribute panel: Evergreen Spring Technique (Third Layer, 55%).

He's reached the third level of the Qi Refining Realm!

Then, Lu Ze thought for a moment and spent 100 Source Points to strengthen the Black Tiger Fierce Soul Blade.

"Currently available areas for enhancement: 1. Martial Arts: Enhancement will grant the Blazing Sun Heaven-Burning Slash, a supreme martial art of the Nine Yang Sect in the high-level martial arts world, at the Innate Realm. Upon completion, one can comprehend the Blazing Sun Blade Intent. 2. Immortal Cultivation: Enhancement will grant the Immortal Cultivation spell Black Tiger Netherworld Slash, which condenses extremely Yin Blade Qi in the body's acupoints. The Blade Qi pierces the sky, slaying ghosts and gods! Upon completion, one can comprehend the Netherworld Blade Intent."

Lu Ze chose the Blazing Sun Heaven-Burning Slash, since it was compatible with the Golden Sun Body and could unleash even greater power.

Immediately, information about the Blazing Sun Heaven-Burning Slash appeared in his mind, and he spent a quarter of an hour digesting the information about the sword technique.

The Blazing Sun Heaven-Burning Slash is an extremely Yang sword technique. When first learning the sword technique, there are seventy-two Blazing Sun moves, which are extremely powerful and Yang. They eventually merge into one move, the Heaven-Burning Slash, which is the Heaven-Burning Sword Intent that burns everything!

Lu Ze thought for a moment, and since he had already learned the sword technique, he decided to strengthen the Dragon Slayer Saber as well.

He thought for a moment, then took out the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Demon-Slaying Saber, and tied them together.

This was an attempt by him to see if he could treat it as a whole and integrate and strengthen it.

Immediately, Lu Ze attempted to enhance the power of the device.

"Current enhancement requires 100 Source Points. Enhancement options: 1. Spirit Weapon: Enhancement will yield a Tier 1 Mid-Grade Blazing Sun Blade, from the Blazing Sun Sect in the high-martial world. It is the standard spirit weapon for outer disciples and can greatly enhance the power of fire-type and pure yang attribute sword techniques. 2. Magic Weapon: Enhancement will yield a Tier 1 Mid-Grade Magic Weapon Crimson Sun Blade, from the Purple Sun Sect in the immortal cultivation world. It can amplify the power of fire-type and pure yang attribute sword techniques."

Lu Ze's eyes lit up; it could actually be strengthened to the middle grade of the first rank!

This indicates that the Azure Spirit Sword is actually of top quality among low-grade first-tier flying swords, not too far from being a mid-grade first-tier sword. Otherwise, it wouldn't have directly advanced to mid-grade first-tier due to fusion and enhancement.

Lu Ze did not hesitate and chose the Blazing Sun Blade.

Immediately, the Demon-Slaying Blade and the Dragon-Slaying Blade disappeared, and a crimson divine blade appeared in his hand—the Blazing Sun Blade.

With this first-tier mid-grade spiritual weapon, the Blazing Sun Blade, combined with the Blazing Sun Heaven-Burning Slash, his martial arts strength has surpassed his cultivation strength!

At this point, he had 33 Source Points left. After thinking for a moment, he spent 10 Source Points to enhance his Throwing Knife Technique.

"Currently available enhancement directions: 1. Blade Intent: Enhancement will yield the mortal-grade top-tier Little Li Flying Dagger, originating from the world of the Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword. Little Li's Flying Dagger never misses its mark; its skill is close to the Dao. Only with a righteous heart can one cultivate this flying dagger technique to its peak and comprehend the invincible blade intent of the benevolent. 2. Blade Technique: Enhancement will yield the Thunderclap Flying Dagger, a basic martial art from the high-martial-arts world of the Heavenly Thunder Sect. It contains techniques for channeling and releasing power, along with the dual enhancement of internal energy, making it incredibly powerful. Cultivating it to perfection will allow one to comprehend the Thunderclap Blade Intent!"

Lu Ze thought for a moment and chose the Thunderclap Flying Dagger. After all, his personality might not allow him to bring out the full potential of Little Li's Flying Dagger.

Immediately, the information about the Thunder Flying Knife surfaced in his mind.

Then, he consumed 10 Source Points to enhance the Qi Concealing Secret Technique, turning it into a top-grade mortal-level Turtle Breathing Secret Technique. In addition to concealing his true cultivation level, it could also conceal his own aura.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ze consumed another 10 Source Points to enhance the mid-grade mortal-level human skin mask, upgrading it to the top-grade mortal-level ever-changing mask, which can change appearance at will.

At this point, he only had 3 Source Points left. He then used 2 Source Points to optimize the skin and flesh refining parts of the Black Tiger Body Forging Fist, thus improving his cultivation efficiency.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ze began to cultivate the Blazing Sun Heaven-Burning Slash.

An hour later, he slowly sheathed his sword and checked his attribute panel: Blazing Sun Heaven-Burning Slash (Proficiency 5%).

With the foundation of the Black Tiger Fierce Soul Blade at its perfect level, mastering swordsmanship is quite quick.

Immediately, he took out a high-grade essence pill and swallowed it, then began practicing the Black Tiger Body Tempering Fist.

An hour later, Lu Ze refined the medicinal power of the superior-grade Essence Pill. Checking the attribute panel, his Flesh Refinement (52%) increased by a full 30% in proficiency, and its efficacy was 5 times that of the inferior-grade Essence Pill.

As expected of a pill costing two thousand taels a bottle, it's excellent!

Of course, the main reason for this progress is the existence of the attribute panel, which allows Lu Ze to fully refine the medicinal power of the pills.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ze took another high-grade essence pill and began practicing the Black Tiger Body Tempering Fist.

Although he now focuses on Qi cultivation and martial arts, he cannot neglect his physical training.
