Chapter 28: Divine Sword

"Take it, it'll replenish your spirit energy." Jia Xiuying ate the pill and noticed that this pill was more effective than the normal spirit energy replenishing pills. While a normal pill would recover about 15% of a person's spirit energy upon consumption and a better one would recover 25%, this one was much more effective than the normal pill.

Although she wasn't an alchemist, she could still tell that this spirit energy replenishing pill was better than the other ones. She looked at Feng Ming Xiu. "Pardon my behavior, but...a pill like this won't be in the hands of someone like you. Where did you get it?"

Feng Ming Xiu understood why she would be like that. Feng Ming Xiu smiled. "I'm afraid I can't tell you that."

Feng Ming Xiu walked in front of Jia Xiuying after saying that.

'Seems like she has no intention of talking about it.'

After reaching the camp, Feng Ming Xiu disassembled the array and made a bigger array since there were going to be more people. Dong Hou and the others were surprised that Feng Ming Xiu knew how to set up arrays.

Hao Ming stared at Feng Ming Xiu with a deep gaze. Feng Ming Xiu seemed to feel his gaze and paused and looked up. She smiled when she saw him looking at her, then continued setting up the array.

After setting up the array, Feng Ming Xiu got up and looked at the five of them. "You guys can stay here for the night. You all must have sustained serious injuries, so you should heal up. I'm going to bed, don't disturb us if it's not anything serious." After she said that, she went into her tent. Jia Xiuying also went into her tent.

"Senior brother, we are with people we don't even know, should we trust them?" Rong Hua said dissatisfied. After being mocked by Feng Ming Xiu she didn't want to be anywhere near her.

"Don't be stupid. Where else can we go with our injuries? We are staying here for the night and then going back to the Sect the next day. You better not cause any trouble with those girls or else..." After Ouyang Bai said that, he went into the tent that he set up. The others also went into their tents.

Feng Ming Xiu, who was still up, went into the Mystical Pagoda.

Li Hong Jie appeared in front of Feng Ming Xiu with his hands folded. "So you decided to come in now?" Li Hong Jie was dissatisfied that Feng Ming Xiu didn't come to the Mystical Pagoda in the past several days.

"I'm sorry. Were you bored these days by yourself?"

"Now you're worrying about me? Hmph!" Li Hong Jie turned his back to Feng Ming Xiu.

"Well, since you don't want me around, I'll leave."

When Feng Ming Xiu pretended to leave, Li Heng Jie was anxious and held Feng Ming Xiu's hand. "You don't have to leave."

"Really?" Feng Ming Xiu asked.

"Yes, yes." Li Heng Jie nodded.

Feng Ming Xiu laughed and disappeared along with Li Heng Jie. They appeared on the fourth floor in the spirit pagoda.

"Are you going to cultivate?" Li Heng Jie asked.

"Yes."

"Okay." Li Heng Jie came out of Feng Ming Xiu's arms.

"I'm not cultivating for a long time."

"Of course, I know that."

"How would you know that?" Feng Ming Xiu asked Li Heng Jie.

"I know because if I so desire, I can see what is going on outside. Of course, since you're my master now, you have the authority to make me not able to do that."

Feng Ming Xiu's face turned black.

Li Heng Jie knew what Feng Ming Xiu was thinking and waved his hands. "Don't misunderstand! I never watched you when...anyway! Whenever you were going to, I always cut off my contact with the outside world."

Feng Ming Xiu went into a room and shut the door behind her.

"Hah..." Li Heng Jie sighed and disappeared.

Feng Ming Xiu sighed and sat in a cross-legged position on the floor.

Feng Ming Xiu relaxed her body and cleared her mind. She absorbed spirit energy from the air and circulated the spirit energy around her body.

Three days in the Mystical Pagoda equaled one day outside, so Feng Ming Xiu wanted to see if she could break through within three days since the spiritual energy in the Mystical Pagoda was dense.

Two days in the mystical pagoda, Feng Ming Xiu made a breakthrough in her cultivation from the early-stage golden core formation stage to peak-stage golden core formation.

Feng Ming Xiu opened her eyes and exhaled. "Wow. I broke through to peak stage!" Feng Ming Xiu stood up.

"The dense spirit energy in the mystical pagoda and my five element body is really convenient." Feng Ming Xiu smiled and opened the door and saw Li Hong Jie sitting on the floor.

Li Hong Jie looked up and when he saw Feng Ming Xiu, he rushed into her arms. "You're finally out!"

Feng Ming Xiu held Li Hong Jie in her arms. "Do you want me to stay in here for a while more?"

"Yes!" Li Hong Jie nodded. "Oh! I have something to show you."

Li Hong Jie along with Feng Ming Xiu disappeared from their spots. They appeared in another place. The place they appeared had a sword that was embedded into the ground.

Feng Ming Xiu looked at the sword, then at Li Hong Jie.

"Try to pull it out." Li Hong Jie said.

"Okay." Feng Ming Xiu held the hilt of the sword and pulled out the sword easily.

"Now what?" Feng Ming Xiu asked.

"Hmm, you managed to pull out that sword?! No one has ever been able to pull it out!"

Feng Ming Xiu looked at the sword that was covered in dirt. "Is it special?"

"Yes of course. That right there is a divine sword. It's been there for over a million years, and none of my previous masters have been able to pull it out."

"So I'm the first?"

"Yes. You should feel proud of yourself master."

Feng Ming Xiu looked at the sword that had rust covering the blade. "Can you remove the rust?"

"Sure." After Li Hong Jie said that, the sword that was previously covered in rust now looked as if it was brand new.

The pommel was a silver color, while the grip was a black and silver color. The blade collar was a black color, and the sword itself was a silver color.

"How pretty." Feng Ming Xiu admired the sword and slashed it around.

"Here."

Li Hong Jie handed a scabbard to Feng Ming Xiu. The scabbard was a purple color and it had a black throat and a black chape.

"It's a divine sword so you have to drop your blood onto it to make a contract with it and use it." Li Hong Jie said.

"Okay." Feng Ming Xiu used her dagger and made a cut on her finger. Blood came out and Feng Ming Xiu put her finger over the sword and let it drip onto the sword.

The blood was absorbed into the sword and the contract was made.

Feng Ming Xiu stayed in the Mystical Pagoda and spoke with Li Hong Jie, then left later on.

Feng Ming Xiu appeared in the tent and looked outside to see that it was still night. 'Thank goodness.' She went to her bed and immediately collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.
