1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,480
Chapter eight dash a young woman's birthday. So a six severings yin corpse appeared

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:11,839
within Mother ghost Ridge. That means
there's got to be an inauspicious yin spirit

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,600
vein hidden there. That's the only
way the ghost there could undergo corpse transformation,

4
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:23,839
slough off their old forms and becomes
six severings yin corpses. Even in

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:29,399
the nine provinces of the wilds,
yin aligned spirit veins are rare and unusual,

6
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,880
Yet one appeared within the territory of
the spiritually barren Great Zoo. It's

7
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:40,960
practically a miracle. As su Ye
pondered, he walked towards Gwangling City along

8
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:45,640
the banks of the Great Azure.
The third realm of the Marshal Tao is

9
00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:50,039
the inner furnace. If I use
a yin aligned spirit vain to temper my

10
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:56,000
internal organs, I'll achieve twice the
results for half the work. That aside,

11
00:00:56,439 --> 00:01:02,520
Mother ghost Ridge has six yin grass
and extreme flowers. Those are precious

12
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,280
medicines for inner furnace realm cultivators.
Once I've reached the pinnacle of the blood

13
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:12,120
circulation realm, I'll have to go
in and take a look around. Sue

14
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:18,040
Ye made up his mind. He'd
left his chance encounter with the shouty Ank

15
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:23,560
and Zijen with an ample harvest.
Ten thousand tools of silver was enough to

16
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,519
purchase the medicines he needed to temper
his body. At the same time,

17
00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:34,560
he'd entuded some enormously valuable intelligence regarding
Mother ghost Ridge, such as the presence

18
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:40,959
of an inauspicious gyin spirit vain.
When sue Ye arrived at Gwangling City,

19
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:47,319
he saw the city lords guards garrisoned
outside its gates. They were fully armored,

20
00:01:47,599 --> 00:01:52,840
and they looked stern, vigorous,
and fully capable. Before the guards,

21
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,319
another group of the city's higher ups
had gathered, all of them of

22
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,640
extraordinary bearing. They were clearly a
long accustomed to power. Ordinary experts of

23
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:08,439
the Marshal Dao couldn't compare with them
at all. Such a grand military formation

24
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:15,240
was a rare sight in Gwangling City. The citizens passing through the gates work

25
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:21,199
without exception, both curious and odd. The sound of discussion filled the air.

26
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:25,000
The city lord is here, and
he even despatched his old guard.

27
00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:30,639
What's all this for? Ah?
So that city Lord Fushan and his old

28
00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:36,639
guard. Su Ye was inwardly curious
too, but he couldn't be bothered to

29
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,199
ask around. He went straight for
the gates and walked inside. He could

30
00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:47,319
dimly discern the sound of the gathered
expert's laughter and conversation emanating from behind him.

31
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:53,719
Look, isn't that the wind families
liven Son in law sue Ye,

32
00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:57,960
he was once the sword chief of
Blue, a river sword manner's outer sect,

33
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:02,719
A rare genius. It's really a
pity, a pity way I see

34
00:03:02,759 --> 00:03:07,439
it. If you want to pity
someone, it ought to be Wenlings.

35
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:12,680
How I've never seen such immense talent
for the Marshal dow in all my life,

36
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,719
and her good looks are one in
ten thousand. Despite all that she

37
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:23,719
married su Ye, of all people. What a tragedy, sue Ye laughed,

38
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:29,360
but he wasn't the least bit concerned. He quickly disappeared into the bustling

39
00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:35,599
city streets. Not long after,
shouty Ank and Zign appeared away as beyond

40
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,120
the city gates. At almost the
same time, the lord of Gwangling City,

41
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:46,560
Fushan, stepped forward and bowed in
solemn greeting, his voice booming through

42
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:53,080
the clouds, Your humble subordinate,
Fushan greets you, Marquis, Greetings,

43
00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:59,159
Lady Spirit Jade. The experts and
higher ups behind Fushan, as well as

44
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:04,319
his entire team of elite armed guards, quivered and repeated the greeting, Greetings,

45
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:12,479
Marquis, Greetings, Lady Spirit Jade. Suddenly the city gates fell silent.

46
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,560
It was so still and quiet,
not even the birds chirped. The

47
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:24,120
flow of citizens passing through the gates
sunk into terrified silence. Shouty Anks stood

48
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:29,040
a short distance away, his hands
behind his back and his eyes closed.

49
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,240
He unconsciously emanated an air of authority. This was the bearing of one long

50
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:40,439
accustomed to power. Turning our attention
to Zijen, she stood with her back

51
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,759
straight. Her figure was still tall
and slender, and her egg shaped face

52
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,240
was still peerlessly beautiful, but she
had a reserved, honorable bearing, as

53
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:56,680
if she were a thousand miles away
and unapproachable. Fushan, I haven't been

54
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,199
a marquis for a long time.
Have the others step back, don't disturb

55
00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:08,839
the populace. Shoutienk furled his brow. Yes, Sir, City Lord fu

56
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:14,120
Shan agreed, then waved to the
others. The city's major powers and the

57
00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:18,600
old Guard left right away, not
daring to delay, Uncle Fu, I'll

58
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:25,720
have to trouble you together the medicinal
ingredients listed on this recipe. Remember we

59
00:05:25,879 --> 00:05:30,360
need enough for seven days. Also, please prepare a secluded room for my

60
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:38,279
grandfather and I somewhere we won't be
disturbed. Zijn stepped forward and handed Fushan

61
00:05:38,439 --> 00:05:44,399
su Ye's prescription. Princess, your
subordinate shall carry out your orders with the

62
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:50,079
utmost precision. City Lord Fu Shan
solemnly cupped his fist and bowed sh'outi aenk

63
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:56,600
nodded but said no more. He
and Zijin proceeded through the city gates.

64
00:05:57,399 --> 00:06:01,639
Fu Shan hurriedly followed them. Only
when they'd all left in the citizens near

65
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:08,040
the gates come to their senses,
as if awakening from a dream. Immediately

66
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:14,040
afterward, they broke into fervent discussion. Fu Shan was the lord of Gwangling

67
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:19,079
City, its highest authority figure.
Even Gwangling City's three great clans had to

68
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:25,639
treat him with respect. Yet now, right before their very eyes, he'd

69
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,600
treated an old man and young woman
with the utmost respect, heeding their every

70
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:36,480
command. Witnessing this broadened the citizen's
horizons, and they busily speculated at shout

71
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:43,920
he Anch and Zijin's identities. The
When family sue Ye sat in a tub

72
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,040
within his chambers, his eyes were
shut, and with every breath, a

73
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:54,120
faint wisp of white gas wound around
him, like a snake flicking its tongue

74
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,879
to a fantastical rhythm. This was
the pine and crane body refining arts breathing

75
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:04,800
technique. The bathtub contained a hot
medicinal bath, a mixture of over fifty

76
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:12,639
different herbs and grasses heated for four
hours. These medicinal herbs weren't spiritual medicines

77
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,639
in the eyes of cultivators, yet
every last one was exceedingly valuable. They

78
00:07:17,639 --> 00:07:23,759
were worth five hundred tolls of silver
in total. In Gwangling City, a

79
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:30,120
common family's annual expenses amounted to around
a dozen tills at most. This was

80
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:35,240
the origin of the saying the porpoises
scholarship the wealthy martial arts. Only the

81
00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:42,000
wealthy were qualified to cultivate the martial
Tao. Even if a commoner wanted to

82
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:47,079
cultivate, they couldn't possibly bear the
necessary expenditures. Even though the Wehn family

83
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:53,079
was one of Gwangling cities three great
clans and even though they boasted over a

84
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:58,879
thousand members, only a select few
were qualified to cultivate the Marshal Tao from

85
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:03,639
a young age. There was nothing
for it. Cultivating was just too expensive.

86
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:09,319
Ordinary warriors took supplements to meet their
body's needs on a daily basis.

87
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,639
They needed to purchase all sorts of
medicines to further their cultivations, and even

88
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:24,319
entering an academy to cultivate represented an
enormous expense. Ordinary families simply couldn't afford

89
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:28,000
it. It was the same throughout
the Great Zoo. Time flowed by,

90
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:35,200
and soon the sun cast slanted shadows
from the west. So Ye had spent

91
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:41,000
a full six hours in meditation.
Two straight streams of gas, like pristine

92
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:46,759
white silk, shot from his nostrils. The streams of gas were like arrows.

93
00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:50,360
They shot ahead three feet, cutting
through the air like knives, with

94
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:56,039
a faint rumbling reminiscent of thunder.
His breathing was silken, yet it boomed

95
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:01,480
like thunder. This distinctive effect was
as the result of circulating your key throughout

96
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:07,279
your body until it boiled. It
was then that sue Ye opened his eyes.

97
00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:11,600
A flash of brilliance in the depths
of his profound gaze, like the

98
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:16,519
edge of a knife or a crackle
of electricity. It flickered briefly, then

99
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:22,320
disappeared to day. I spent the
morning breathing in the spiritual energy along the

100
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:26,159
banks of the great Azure, and
the afternoon refining my body in a medicinal

101
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,600
bath. Less than a day has
passed, but my foundations within the blood

102
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:37,159
circulation realm are already completely solid.
Sue Ye got out of the bath tub,

103
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:43,159
put on his clothes, and walked
into the courtyard. The sun was

104
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,000
setting, casting a layer of gentle
light over the jujub trees of the garden.

105
00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:52,600
Sue Ye stood firmly in place,
sensing the power of his ample blood

106
00:09:52,639 --> 00:09:58,879
and key. Suddenly, he stretched
out his finger and stabbed it into the

107
00:09:58,919 --> 00:10:03,759
branch of the near tree. Wham, the entire branch shattered into powder.

108
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:11,399
Strangely, the branches green leaves floated
to the ground completely intact. Su Ye

109
00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:18,240
relaxed his finger and nodded to himself. In the beginning stages of the martial

110
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:24,440
dow cultivators refined their physiques. Blood
and key battles, however, were a

111
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:31,399
display of both raw power and control. Powerful warriors could stick a spear right

112
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:37,200
through a date still on the tree, one stab one fruit. They could

113
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,840
stab a fly without leaving a mark
on the wall below. This was an

114
00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:48,399
exquisite application of power. Su Yi's
finger attack was yet another example. His

115
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,240
movement seemed ordinary, but he struck
like an arrow loosed from a bow or

116
00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:58,639
a sudden crack of lightning. His
fingers shattered the branch with incredible ease,

117
00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:05,480
yet left the britain fragile leaves completely
intact. This represented a superb level of

118
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:11,000
refined control. But then, in
his past life, a single finger could

119
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,799
split an ocean, and a wave
of his sleeves could sever mountains. By

120
00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:20,279
comparison, shuddering a branch was nothing
but a parlor trick. For the next

121
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:24,919
few days, sue Ye left the
city to cultivate along the river bank every

122
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,759
morning and spent his evenings soaking in
a medicinal bath to refine his physique.

123
00:11:31,799 --> 00:11:37,399
His physical power underwent an earth shaking
transformation during this time. His younger sister

124
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:43,960
in law, when ling Zu,
returned to Pinacloud sword manner. Just before

125
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,480
she left, she specifically reminded su
Ye that she'd be turning sixteen in just

126
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:54,840
a few days, and that she
hoped he'd participate in the festivities. Sue

127
00:11:54,919 --> 00:12:01,879
Ye agreed without hesitation the peak of
the early stage blood circulation realm that morning,

128
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,440
as Suyi left the banks of the
Great Azure, he sensed his body's

129
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:11,639
changes despite himself. A satisfied grin
tugged at the corners of his lips.

130
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,879
The pine and crane body refining technique
really was the number one foundational technique of

131
00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:20,039
the nine provinces of the Wilds.
