The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 272 - 239: Useless Xiaoxu Has a New Function Again

Chapter 272: Chapter 239: Useless Xiaoxu Has a New Function Again

Chu Huaixu stood outside the bamboo house, using his Divine Sense to perceive.

He sensed that the dirty thing was flying towards him at an incredibly frightening speed!

"So fast!"

So fast that it would reach right in front of him in just a few breaths!

Two figures descended from the sky, and because it was too fast, Chu Huaixu could only see two afterimages.

The visitors were Jiang Zhi and Xu Ziqing.

Chu Huaixu just took one look and his heart suddenly understood.

"So the dirty thing is Xiaoxu." He thought.

When Xu Ziqing saw Chu Huaixu, his face showed joy, and he quickly said respectfully, "Senior Brother."

After not seeing each other for a long time, he only felt that Senior Brother seemed more and more extraordinary, and his presence appeared increasingly powerful!

"Oh? Already at Second Realm Sixth Heaven, cultivating speed is really fast, probably with a good dose of elixirs." Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

Xu Ziqing has a Lower Grade Spiritual Embryo and follows the Body Refining path which requires extreme patience.

If it was normal cultivation, following the "Natural Body Refining" path, it would be impossible to progress at this rate.

"Junior Martial Uncle." Chu Huaixu greeted Jiang Zhi with a bow first.

Then he looked Xu Ziqing up and down and said, "Xiaoxu."

"Hey! Senior Brother!"

"Have you awakened Body Refining Divine Techniques?" he asked.

"Senior Brother’s eyes really can’t be deceived." Xu Ziqing immediately said.

Jiang Zhi listened on the side, the corner of his eye twitching slightly: "..."

"Then I’ll be going." He intended to leave directly.

But before flying away, he suddenly stopped and looked at Chu Huaixu, asking: "Did you gain anything from that Dao Scripture Jade Scroll you took to Kunlun Cave Heaven the other day?"

"Not for now." Chu Huaixu replied.

Regarding the Outer Body Incarnation, he thought he also needed to consider it deeply.

Since he couldn’t make it now, he might as well not talk about it.

Junior Martial Uncle nodded slightly, then flew off into disappearance.

Han Shuangjiang, hearing the commotion outside, only then opened the door and peeked out.

"Senior Sister Han." Xu Ziqing immediately greeted sweetly.

Seeing Senior Sister Han still living in her own bamboo house, not living together with Senior Brother, Xiaoxu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

On his way back, he was worried that Senior Sister Han and Senior Brother might have become Dao companions and are now living together.

If there were suddenly a woman in their bamboo house, he’d have many places to be mindful of daily, causing a certain unease, requiring some time to adapt.

Even if she’s someone very familiar like Senior Sister Han.

"You’re back." Han Shuangjiang gave him a slight smile.

Xu Ziqing nodded earnestly and said, "Mm! Also, Junior Martial Uncle told me I don’t need to go back, just need to head to Hidden Spirit Mountain periodically."

He sneakily glanced at Chu Huaixu expectantly, trying to find a hint of surprise on Senior Brother’s face.

However, he saw him frowning slightly and saying, "Is it to regularly go up the mountain to nurture that sword?"

"Yes." The delicate youth replied softly.

"Really troublesome." Chu Huaixu said unamusedly.

After speaking, he changed his mind and thought although the name Sword Attendant is ugly, it might as well be Xiaoxu’s golden finger, treating it like a ride-sharing surrogate. Having the right attitude, isn’t the identity still self-given?

"Well, as long as you’re back." He said blandly.

Just these few words made Xu Ziqing’s face beam with happiness.

Chu Huaixu saw him grinning and didn’t know what pleased him.

He just spoke up saying, "Let me see your Body Refining Divine Techniques."

As soon as his words fell, he changed the thought.

"Forget it, let’s just practice directly!"

....

....

"Boom——!"

When Xu Ziqing activated the Fire God Body, he was punched flying by Chu Huaixu.

The youth flew several meters backwards, skidding several meters across the ground, directly crashing into a tree, cracking it. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Han Shuangjiang felt that Chu Huaixu was too harsh, giving him a slightly disapproving look.

Daily sparring should have been done with gentleness.

She felt these two don’t fear pain and have strong self-healing abilities, but there’s no need to disregard their bodies like that.

Chu Huaixu, however, raised his fist for a look, feeling a burning sensation, even scorching the skin.

"Not like ordinary fire, rather wondrous." He commented aloud.

If it were just ordinary flames, they couldn’t harm him at all.

Xu Ziqing’s skin which appeared like lava, indeed has some mystery to it.

"What Second Realm Technique are you practicing now?" he asked.

"It’s the ’Great Sun Destruction Formulas’ picked by Junior Martial Uncle."

"Celestial Level?" Chu Huaixu pursued.

"Mm." Xu Ziqing replied.

He nodded slightly, starting to find the future development for Xiaoxu troublesome.

The Body Refining Stream has one downside—the world’s Celestial Level Body Refining Techniques are indeed too few.

There are relatively more Celestial Level Techniques in the low realm.

But once reaching Fifth Realm, not only are Celestial Level Body Refining Techniques scarce, but all Body Refining Techniques are scarce!

Because hardly any predecessors reached the Great Cultivator realm on the Body Refining path.

Chu Huaixu even suspected that techniques beyond Seventh Realm require self-creation.....

In comparison, the ’Dao Scripture’ did save him much trouble.

Yet, he thought this guy’s comprehension is 10 who can complete Earth Level Techniques independently, might just have talent in creating techniques too?

In fact, ’Dao Scripture’ also has troublesome aspects.

"Except for the Acupoint Opening Stage and First Realm, every cultivation technique requires refinement of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures beforehand to assist.

"The second volume of ’Dao Scripture’ is alright, the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures needed for the third volume are noticeably more precious!"

"More precious than those ordinary Third Realm Celestial Level Techniques!"

This means practicing it demands a higher monetary cost.

If not for ’Dao Generating One,’ Chu Huaixu might not afford it.

"Besides this, does your Divine Technique have other characteristics?"

Xu Ziqing nodded.

"Yes, there’s something special, so I quoted a part from ’Refining Sword Formulas’ and named it Heaven and Earth Furnace."

"It can accelerate the Body Tempering speed, benefiting daily cultivation."

Chu Huaixu hearing this felt it reasonable, just casually nodding his head.

As night came, the three of them had a simple dinner, just adding two dishes.

The dishwashing task, as usual, was thrown to Xiaoxu.

Everyone didn’t rush back indoors, chatting about their experiences during this time.

It wasn’t until night deepened that they returned to their rooms for cultivation.

Chu Huaixu wasn’t cultivating, but took out the freshly made pills from ’Dao Generating One.’

Besides that, he also noticed something today.

"The ’Profound Crystal Power’ I refined, the system shows a compatibility value with me of 87%."

"The value with Big Ice Cube is just 54%."

"But with Xiaoxu, it’s 91%, surpassing mine."

"Perhaps because I do Inner and Outer Cultivation, while he’s purely a Body Refiner?" Chu Huaixu speculated inwardly.

He even thought about whether he should simply give ’Profound Crystal Power’ to Xiaoxu.

"I and Big Ice Cube now have the power of Dao Seal, but only Xiaoxu doesn’t have."

Chu Huaixu thought it over and felt there’s no rush.

He wasn’t being stingy.

He just felt that the Profound Crystal Power is merely comparable to the Two-Character Dao Seal.

He simply finds it lacking!

The gap between Two-Character Dao Seal and Three-Character Dao Seal is enormous.

But thinking about ’Daoist Ancestor’s Seal,’ I can grant them too! He felt a small sense of smug satisfaction.

Yet, speaking of it, Chu Huaixu has grown too fast now, the gap with Xu Ziqing when not using the Bronze Sword has become a bit big.

Xiaoxu appears somewhat useless.

But just then, he suddenly felt the surrounding temperature begin to rise.

"Is this using ’Heaven and Earth Furnace’ for Body Tempering?" Chu Huaixu wondered.

However, the alarming thing was that his room was also affected, the temperature still climbing rapidly!

After a while, Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but look down at his body, a trace of surprise flashing in his gaze, and uttered:

"Hm?"
