After receiving Wang Dafu's response, Li Qinghai tio wait while practig the Sword Drawing Teique. Over the past few days, he had barely mao master it. He no longer o perform the sword-drawing motio, he o practice the hidden power of the sword.

  Li Qinghai took out the Spiritual Water Sword and held it in his hand, standing silently without moving. Although it seemed like he was doing nothing, the spiritual energy in his hand was quietly flowing into the sword sheath. After brewing for a few mihe spiritual energy in the sheath was about to overflow. Li Qinghai could no longer trol it and suddenly drew the sword!

  The Spiritual Water Sword poi the table in front!

  g!

  A loud sword hum echoed.

  Bang!

  In an instant, the power on the Spiritual Water Sword shot forward, and the wooden table exploded into splinters. Li Qinghai nodded with satisfa. The power of this strike could easily take down any cultivator below the seventh level of Qi Refining, provided it was ued and the power wasn't blocked or diminished. Giveealth of this Sword Drawing Teique, it would indeed be difficult for other cultivators to defend against it unknowingly.

  Li Qinghai was willing to call this so-called Sword Drawing Teique the "Old Six Sword Teique." It was somewhat insidious and ily gathering power and then ung a sneak attack. Who could withstand that? Moreover, Li Qinghai khat this power was achieved without fully mastering the teique. With a few more days of practice, once he pletely mastered it, the power would be even more terrifying with longer power accumution. He even thought that if he used a stronger sword, the power could reaother level.

  Looking at the shattered wood, Li Qinghai mused, "Isn't the power of this Sword Drawing Teique a bit too monstrous? It doesn't seem like an ordinary sword teique at all."

  Just as Li Qinghai , Wang Dafu's voice came from outside the door. "Senior Brother, I'm here."

  Li Qinghai stopped thinking, put the Spiritual Water Sword bato his Ste Bag, and walked out of the small wooden house. He opehe door and saw the still plump Wang Dafu. Wang Dafu's chubby face squeezed into a warm, enthusiastic smile as he handed a roughly made Ste Bag to Li Qinghai.

  "Senior Brother, everything you asked for is inside."

  Li Qinghai took the Ste Bag and gnced i tained not only a bottle of Fasting Pills but also exactly eighty portions of the spiritual herbs o refine Qi Gathering Elixirs, along with the remainiy spirit stones. Li Qinghai had read in books that refining Qi Gathering Elixirs required three types of spiritual herbs, with a unified price of 100 spirit stones per portion in the Azure Cloud Sect. So, he had given Wang Dafu eight thousand spirit stoo buy eighty portions of herbs. Wang Dafu indeed had some es, saving one spirit stone per portion, ultimately saviy spirit stones in total.

  Li Qinghai put the spiritual herbs and Fasting Pills from the Ste Bag into his own Ste Bag and joked, "Junior Brother, I hadn't seen you for a few days and almost thought you ran off with my spirit stones."

  "How could that be? I'm known for my hoy and trustworthiness, especially when it's a task entrusted by you, Senior Brother. It's just that my friend didn't have enough herbs, so I had to wait a few more days," Wang Dafu expined with a reasonable excuse. Iy, he had bought everything the night Li Qinghai left. However, with Ye Fan out of seclusion, he dared not get too close to Li Qinghai, fearing he might be actally killed with no oo seek justice from. So, Wang Dafu id low for a few days, only rexing after hearing Ye Fan had left. Even then, he wao wait a few more days for safety. But since Li Qinghai had sought him out today, he couldn't dey any longer.

  After retrieving his items, Li Qinghai tossed the Ste Bag back to Wang Dafu. "Junior Brother, you do have some es, saving me 80 spirit stones."

  Wang Dafu replied with a hint of pride, "Of course, I'm quite well-known at the Treasure Exge Pavilion."

  Li Qinghai smiled, "ime, try to save a bit more."

  "Certainly, certainly," Wang Dafu agreed wholeheartedly, though he felt a bit bitter inside. He had painstakingly saved 80 spirit stones without pocketing a single one, pleting Li Qinghai's task with utmost iy. Yet, Li Qinghai didn't show any appreciation, leaving Wang Dafu quite frustrated.

  Seeing Wang Dafu's disappointed expression, Li Qinghai chuckled and gave him a hint, "Junior Brother, check the Ste Bag."

  Wang Dafu was momentarily stuhen checked the Ste Bag and his eyes widened. Ihe 80 spirit stones were all there. Wang Dafu couldn't believe it, "Senior Brother, this is..."

  "You worked hard this time. sider these spirit stones a reward for you."

  Upon receiving firmation, Wang Dafu was overjoyed. "Thank you, Senior Brother, for yenerosity. I will tio serve you diligently iure."

  "You're wele, Junior Brother."

  To Li Qinghai, 80 spirit stones were nothing, but having a junior who could haedious tasks was clearly more important. The first time rewarding a junior, it had to be grand to ensure loyalty!

  Sure enough, Wang Dafu's eyes were filled with fervor, as if he wao give Li Qinghai a big hug. Startled, Li Qinghai hurriedly sent Wang Dafu away.

  "Ahem, Junior Brother, there's nothing else for now. I should get back to cultivating."

  Just as Li Qinghai was about to close the door, Wang Dafu suddenly remembered something and quickly called out, "Senior Brother, wait a moment."

  "What's up?"

  "Senior Brother, I have great news for you."

  "Oh? What good news?"

  "Ye Fan has left the sect for training, and Ye Feng is cultivating in Ye Fan's cave residence. You rex and go out as you please. I hope to see you at M Cultivation Mountain tomorrow."

  Li Qinghai immediately smiled, "That is indeed good news."

  "If there's nothing else, I won't disturb your cultivation, Senior Brother. Call me if you need anything."

  "Alright, take care, Junior Brother."

  Watg Wang Dafu's departing figure, Li Qinghai hesitated for a moment. The question was whether to go find Lu Beixue. If Wang Dafu hadn't told him this good news, Li Qinghai would have stayed home waiting for Lu Beixue to e for the spiritual herbs. But now that there was no danger, he could go out himself.

  So, he decided to go out! After being cooped up at home for so many days, it was time to go out for a breath of fresh air a his Sword Flight.

  Li Qinghai stepped out of the door. This se naturally fell into the eyes of the Ye brothers. With dark circles uheir eyes, they trembled with excitement.

  He went out.

  Li Qinghai finally went out!

  Heaven does not disappoint those who persevere; Li Qinghai finally went out!
