Meng Chong saw his pale face, erratic breath, and serious injuries. He gritted his teeth and took out a small bottle.

"Not giving something, how can you gain great rewards? Here, take this pill. Your injuries will soon recover."

Meng Shushu became alert immediately. Could this medicine be a means of controlling him?

"No need, I have healing medicine..."

"What kind of broken healing medicine do you have? How can it compare to mine?"

Meng Chong put away the pill, looking pained. Without hesitation, he stuffed it into Meng Shushu's mouth.

"This is made from eighteen strains of sixth-grade spiritual herbs, refined by a special method. I don't have many of them at all. Each pill is precious. I've spared no effort for your injuries!"

Meng Chong said with a pained expression.

Meng Shushu couldn't dodge at all and was directly fed the pill. He was shocked, thinking he was done for, being controlled by someone.

However, the pill melted in his mouth, and a medicinal force circulated throughout his body.

His erratic breath gradually calmed down, and his injuries surprisingly improved somewhat.

He was greatly surprised. What kind of healing medicine was this?

"Thank you, Meng brother!"

He felt somewhat ashamed, realizing he had thought like a villain, shameful!

"You're welcome. This is a specially made medicine, using eighteen strains of sixth-grade spiritual herbs. It's extremely rare. I don't have many of them."

Meng Chong still had a pained expression.

Meng Shushu: ...

Taking out the key to the spiritual medicine treasure land, he handed it to Meng Chong. "Meng brother, here's a key to a spiritual medicine treasure land. Inside, there are sixth-grade spiritual herbs, and not just one strain."

"Furthermore, I suspect there might be a fifth-grade spiritual herb, which is why they kept chasing me!"

Meng Chong was instantly astonished. A fifth-grade spiritual herb?

"Let's go, let's get the herbs."

Meng Chong couldn't wait.

"Meng brother, there must be Grandmaster-level experts guarding the treasure land nearby, and not just one."

Meng Shushu said solemnly.

"Are there Supreme Grandmasters?"

"That shouldn't be the case. After all, Supreme Grandmasters are high above, why would they do guarding work? Besides, I'm not worth a Supreme Grandmaster's effort."

Meng Shushu shook his head.

"No Supreme Grandmasters, then there's no problem."

Meng Chong breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, there won't be a shortage of Grandmaster-level experts. There might even be several Peak Grandmasters."

"Don't worry, it's just one strike per person, even if they're formidable, two strikes at most. It's not a big problem. Let's set off."

Meng Chong said unconcernedly.

Meng Shushu remembered that one strike, dominating the world. One strike per Grandmaster was truly child's play.

Of course, how many strikes Meng Chong could unleash was unknown, but since he was confident, he should be able to handle a dozen or so Grandmasters.

With this thought, Meng Shushu was once again shocked by Meng Chong's strength.

"Alright, let's go!"

He also became determined. Since they wanted to hunt him down, he would kill them all.

"What force does your family belong to, that it has so many Grandmaster martial artists?"

As the two set off for the spiritual medicine treasure land, Meng Chong curiously asked.

"I don't know."

Meng Shushu shook his head, "This force is very strong, but it doesn't have much reputation in the Inner Domain. It should be one of the hidden forces."

The so-called hidden forces were those lurking in the shadows, keeping a low profile, and even doing things that couldn't bear the light of day.

...

After Meng Chong brought back a strain of Bone-Strengthening Flower, Su Lingxiu began adjusting the formula for the Evergreen Pill and started trying to refine it. After all, a new pill couldn't be successfully refined on the first attempt.

And with only one Bone-Strengthening Flower, they had to be extremely cautious. Therefore, before truly refining the Evergreen Pill, Su Lingxiu practiced with other herbs.

After mastering the refining techniques.

Li Xuan shifted his focus to a new realm, having basically determined the realm beyond the Communication Realm and how to frame the theoretical framework for cultivation.

"The Communication Realm is cultivating true yuan, merging true yuan with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is almost the limit of qi cultivation. The next realm is cultivating spiritual power.

"Or rather, cultivating the soul. Senior Wu was possessed by someone, and a martial artist who can be possessed must possess a soul.

"It can be confirmed that it is an expert beyond the Grandmaster level."

Li Xuan summarized while beginning to improve the cultivation theory.

"How should spiritual power be cultivated? How should the soul be condensed? There's a strange acupoint called the Mud Pill. Beyond the Communication Realm, it's about opening the Mud Pill Palace..."

Li Xuan gradually perfected the cultivation theory beyond the Communication Realm, contemplating it repeatedly every day, striving to smoothly connect with the Communication Realm.

"Above the Communication Realm is a watershed. With a more detailed theoretical compilation, it's easier to comprehend and can be understood more quickly..."

Every day, Li Xuan sat leisurely in his chair, but his mind was busy creating new martial realms.

Kou Ruo Zhi brought the Divine Fire Stone.

Li Xuan glanced at him, slightly surprised. Kou Ruo Zhi had already refined his bones. His cultivation speed was much faster than Shi Er's, indicating that his talent surpassed Shi Er's.

"Miss, we have selected a hundred and twenty people, loyal disciples who have already begun practicing martial arts. Twelve have completed skin refining, fifty have reached the peak of skin refining, and the rest are at the intermediate and beginner levels.

"Over at the Xu Family's side, twenty-six people have become martial artists.

"Old Man Qi Huang has also begun cultivation. He seems to have some talent as he has already reached the peak of skin refining.

"In addition, the cultivation method for skin refining has begun to spread, and more people are starting to practice. I am also cooperating with Lord Xu Junhe to rebuild the faith of martial artists.

"I believe that soon, there will be many martial artists emerging from our border wilderness."

Kou Ruo Zhi reported the changes in the border wilderness to Su Lingxiu.

Martial arts had begun to spread in the border wilderness.

"On the Wu Kingdom's side, Emperor Wu personally visited, obtained martial arts techniques, and reached an agreement. Our goal is unified: the Inner Domain.

"The Xu Family has become a holy land for martial arts in the border wilderness. Martial artists revere the Martial Arts Master, and every martial artist will pay homage to the Martial Arts Master.

"In the future, when we enter the Inner Domain, the martial artists of our border wilderness will surely be able to establish a foothold."

Kou Ruo Zhi's face was full of excitement.

Rebellion and such were just child's play. Striving in the Inner Domain, competing with the martial artists of the Inner Domain, that was what a real man did!

"Furthermore, the Tianmu Sect is preparing to disband. I plan to change the Tianmu Sect to the Pharmacist Sect. What do you think, Miss?"

Su Lingxiu paused, falling into thought.

After all, she would eventually go to the Inner Domain, and the Tianmu Sect belonged to her influence. Now that it was reorganized, it should have a proper appearance.

"I cultivate in the Dao of Dan Medicine and Martial Arts, with Dan Medicine as the main focus. Once I go to the Inner Domain, conflicts are inevitable. To establish a foothold, we must have strong power.

"And this power isn't just mine alone. We need enough strong individuals to acquire more resources."

With this in mind, Su Lingxiu pondered for a moment and said, "Select some talented and capable individuals to establish the Evergreen Pavilion. Let's tentatively call it that."

Kou Ruo Zhi was taken aback. Evergreen Pavilion?

"Yes, yes, Miss's idea is considerate indeed! Everlasting prosperity, not bad, not bad!"

Kou Ruo Zhi flattered.

Su Lingxiu threw him a pill and said, "You've started refining your bones. Take this pill and do your job well."

"Yes, yes!"

Kou Ruo Zhi was overjoyed.

After reporting the matter, Kou Ruo Zhi left.

Li Xuan pondered. The number of people cultivating martial arts in the border wilderness was increasing, and there were already dozens of beginners in martial arts.

Moreover, every martial artist who practiced would worship him as the Martial Arts Master.

They also called him the Martial Ancestor of the border wilderness.

However, so far, he hadn't received any feedback from the System.

"Is it because there are still too few cultivators?"

Li Xuan pondered.

"Or maybe my disciples are reliable. It's been so long, I wonder how Xu Yan is doing? How far is he from breaking through to the Great Accomplishment of the Innate Realm?"

There had been a period of time without feedback from Xu Yan's System.

"Meng Chong went to the Inner Domain, but he hasn't brought me any feedback either. So, Master martial artists are still rare."

Xu Yan went to the Inner Domain and killed a Master martial artist not long after.

And Meng Chong, after such a long time, hadn't brought him any feedback, indicating that he hadn't killed a Master martial artist yet.

Sure enough, Master martial artists in the Inner Domain belonged to the top echelons and were rare, not something you could encounter casually.

Red Cat walked over and lay in front of him, looking at him eagerly.

Due to the Red Cat's increased size, Shi Er reluctantly added length to its thick gold chain around its neck.

"Haven't you understood yet?"

Li Xuan sighed. Although the Red Cat's intelligence was higher than that of ordinary fierce beasts, it was still not human.

However, it seemed to have understood something, otherwise its size wouldn't have increased.

Picking up a bamboo stick, Li Xuan again pointed out the acupoints for the Red Cat, explaining the methods of the Great Demon.

For example, how to open acupoints, how to nourish the body, and how to condense the body of the Great Demon.

"I've told you. The first acupoint to open is this one in your head. Once opened, your intelligence should improve a bit."

Li Xuan pointed to a acupoint on its head.

The Red Cat seemed to understand but not quite.

"Alright, go and comprehend it yourself. If your size continues to grow, you won't be cute anymore, and I might start thinking about stewing you."

Li Xuan jokingly threatened.

The Red Cat trembled, feeling pressure instantly, hastily drooping its tail and running away to contemplate in a corner.

"Master, are you overestimating the Red Cat? How could it comprehend the methods of the Great Demon? The acupoints you explained to it, it probably hasn't even remembered a few."

Su Lingxiu wasn't very optimistic about the Red Cat.

"That's not necessarily true. Haven't you seen how much bigger it has gotten?" Li Xuan chuckled. "Even if it can't cultivate into a Great Demon, it has grown bigger. It could be useful for pulling carts or carrying things."

Su Lingxiu nodded, clutching her clothes and asked, "Master, how can I temper my Evergreen Bone?"

She had been stuck at the peak of Golden Bone for several days now.

Li Xuan glanced at his third disciple, who was also a monstrous talent, and he had always suspected that Su Lingxiu might have some special physique.

However, the Evergreen Bone was extraordinary and not something that could be easily tempered.

"Everlasting, everlasting, everlasting through the ages, lies in vitality, lies in unending vitality; your eldest senior brother has flawless Jade Bone, which is the purest root bone in the world; your second senior brother has Adamantite Glass Bone, which is the strongest in the world;

"The Evergreen Bone of the Dao of Dan Medicine and Martial Arts lies in unending vitality, lies in profound vitality, like this big tree growing from a sapling into a towering tree.

"The Evergreen Bone is the foundation of your Dao of Dan Medicine and Martial Arts, depending on how you comprehend yourself and how you blend with the profound principles of evergreenness."

Li Xuan pondered for a moment before pointing out.

Su Lingxiu seemed to be pondering. In her mind, there appeared the Pharmacopeia of Dan Medicine and various medicinal formulas, along with some of her recent insights.

"Thank you, Master!" Su Lingxiu said respectfully.

Returning to her cultivation place, she continued to contemplate. Her master's words had given her some new insights.

Everlasting through the ages lies in unending vitality, lies in vigorous vitality.

How could one achieve unending vitality and vigorous vitality?

She looked at the planted flowers. Some flowers had withered long ago, but the branches of the flower trees were still lush green, and yellow leaves littered the ground.

But there were also some flowers in full bloom, different types of flowers that were in their prime.

In a haze, she seemed to have some enlightenment in her mind.

Subconsciously, she took out a refined Evergreen Pill, placed it in her mouth, sat among the flowers, and quietly cultivated. At a certain moment, she seemed to feel a lively vitality.

The fragrance of the flowers filled her nose, refreshing her mind. In her mind, she saw green branches and leaves, yellow leaves falling to the ground, and new shoots growing.

Wasn't this also unending vitality?

At that moment, Su Lingxiu felt as if the bottleneck had loosened, and her bones had a strange sensation. Slowly, she seemed to feel a subtle warmth flowing through her bones.

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow. Su Lingxiu was about to break through the Evergreen Bone.

"Once the Evergreen Bone is tempered, it's equivalent to refining the organs. For Su Lingxiu, refining the organs isn't difficult. She'll soon be able to enter the realm of martial arts.

"After breaking through the Blood Qi Realm, she can refine pills with her blood and Qi.

"The Pharmacopeia of Dan Medicine will advance further, not too far off!"

Li Xuan felt excited. Once Su Lingxiu entered the realm of martial arts, he would be able to receive feedback from the Dao of Dan Medicine and Martial Arts. Especially with the Evergreen Bone, what transformation would occur when combined with the Jade Bone and the Adamantite Glass Bone?

Suddenly, the long-lost golden light appeared.

Li Xuan was delighted. Which disciple brought the feedback?

"Your disciple Xu Yan, while tempering his state of mind in the Peerless Pavilion, has comprehended the myriad phenomena of mountains and rivers. Your Myriad Phenomena of Mountains and Rivers has reached completion!"

Boom!

In that instant, Li Xuan's mastery of the Myriad Phenomena of Mountains and Rivers underwent a transformation.

Within the mountains and rivers, it was no longer a vague scene of mountains and rivers, but the appearance of living beings. There were birds circling, fish swimming in the rivers, insects in the grass.

Vaguely, even people working could be seen.

"Hiss!"

Li Xuan was shocked. Although the Myriad Phenomena of Mountains and Rivers were illusory, this was a huge improvement, a direction toward the perfection of the Myriad Phenomena of Mountains and Rivers.

At this moment, within the mountains and rivers, it seemed that there were living beings.

Of course, it was very illusory. After all, this was only the foundation of the Myriad Phenomena of Mountains and Rivers, and his Myriad Phenomena of Mountains and Rivers reaching completion was also only the foundation.

Even so, Li Xuan could already sense the significance and the powerful strength contained within the Myriad Phenomena of Mountains and Rivers.

"If one day, the mountains and rivers are like the heavens and earth, how powerful would that be?"

Li Xuan dared not imagine.

Of course, all of this required support from the realm of martial arts. Without the support of the realm of martial arts, even if one comprehended it, they would not be able to perfect the Myriad Phenomena of Mountains and Rivers.
