The sun was high in the sky, and the smoke was condensed. It was clear today.

In the early morning of late spring, the frost had yet to dissipate, bringing with it the cold current that continued to burrow into the seams of his clothes, making one’s mind involuntarily tremble.

An Le was leaning against the window sill reading. The candlelight had long burned out, leaving only a few wisps of smoke.

Even though the Spring Quarter Examination had ended, An Le still followed his old habits. After Body Tempering and Spirit Refinement ended, he quietly read the book and studied and pondered the thoughts that the Great Confucian wanted to express in the book.

The book “Demon Theory” was very interesting. It talked about a lot of things. Apart from some popular knowledge about demons and humans, it also told many stories about demons.

There were both good and evil demons. There was a kind of thinking among them. Although there were differences between humans and demons, sometimes, the human heart was even more terrifying than demons.

Most of the protagonists of the stories were good demons. Some stories even praised the act of good demons helping people.

There wasn’t much of a description of the evil demons, but their words were intense and filled with indignation. After all, evil demons bewitched the hearts of people, harmed living beings, and ate the five organs. They were truly detestable and hated.

An Le read it with relish. The scholar who wrote the book “Demon Theory” was a Great Confucian named Ning Chen. It was said that he had a story with demons that could not be explained in detail. Much of the content in the book was personal experience.

As a cultivator who had obtained the Demon Tempering Treasure Jade and used demon qi to temper his body, An Le was still quite interested in demons.

Perhaps it was because the squirrel demon woman had left a good impression on him, but the good demons were not vicious and evil. They were also as polite as humans.

Some demons had more etiquette and kindness than humans. Some people had darker hearts than evil demons.

Closing the book and looking at the blue sky, An Le was in a good mood. He got up and walked to the courtyard.

After the Spring Quarter Examination ended, although the rankings had yet to be released, most people began to relax.

An Le maintained his daily cultivation habits as usual.bender

Body Tempering, Spirit Refinement, and reading. These were his tasks every day.

He cultivated calmly just so that he could reach the peak of cultivation one day and see the best scenery in the world.

In the courtyard, the branches of the old locust tree had a new green color and were tainted with spring dew. A breeze blew past, causing crystals to fall and be covered in mist.

The Green Mountain and Ink Pool Sword that were inserted into the old locust tree seemed to tremble with the breeze, and sword cries lingered like bamboo.

Although it had been inserted into the tree hole, the old locust tree was more and more lively. Its leaves were even sharp.

Green Mountain and Ink Pool Sword were both extraordinary swords. Ink Pool Sword had been infected by the ink qi during the Spring Quarter Examination and could already be considered a half-step fifth-grade sword. As for Green Mountain, its grade was already high. Now that it was enhanced by righteousness, it became even more mysterious.

Although he did not know its grade, it was definitely extraordinary.

The old locust tree was in pain and happy after obtaining the sword qi of two extraordinary swords.

In the courtyard, An Le began to practice the Ancient Demon Five Animals Scripture. This Martial Scripture, which had been deduced by generations of Martial Chiefs, was imperceptibly improving An Le’s physique and body.

The ancient demon phenomenon was fusing into his flesh and aura bit by bit.

During normal days, he would appear righteous like an elegant scholar. Once he activated his aura, he would be like a peerless ferocious beast, majestic and ferocious.

This kind of contrast would often catch the opponent off guard.

After cultivating the Ancient Demon Five Animals for a while, the demon qi of the Demon Tempering Treasure Jade at his waist had already been completely absorbed. An Le was also a little vexed, not knowing where to replenish the demon qi in the jade.

It was unknown where Madam Squirrel had gone, but there was no trace of her. The Demon Tempering Treasure Jade could only absorb and replenish the demon qi when it approached the demons.

In fact, the body tempering effect of the Demon Tempering Treasure Jade was already becoming weaker and weaker. With the enhancement of An Le’s physique and the righteous sword qi, the Demon Tempering Treasure Jade seemed a little useless to him.

The effect of body tempering was inferior to the righteous sword qi, and it also needed time to replenish demon qi, which was quite troublesome.

An Le plucked Green Mountain and practiced the Bamboo Branch and Fragrant Grass sword technique moves. This was a set of sword technique moves. It was not just one move. When the sword rose, there was light and shadow.

Compared to Sword Qi Draws Near, which was an ethereal secret sword technique controlled by mental power, the Lyrical Three Swords of the Bamboo Branch, Fragrant Grass, and Youth Travel were more orthodox, but they all contained the essence of a sword.

The power of that sword’s essence was definitely not ordinary. It could be used as a killing move.

An Le had yet to comprehend it and was slowly pondering.

Sword Qi Draws Near also required time to comprehend.

The Spring Quarter Examination had just ended and the rankings had yet to be released. An Le was not in a hurry, so he practiced his sword techniques in the courtyard, read books, visualized the Sword Waterfall, and spent time nurturing the righteous sword qi.

After obtaining the righteous sword qi, An Le had to study even more seriously every day. Righteousness originated from knowledge and temperament, and studying was the simplest way to nurture it.

Just like the ancient people said, there was treasure in the book, there was gold in the book, and there was righteousness in the book.

Training the Five Animals, practicing the sword, and reading books to nurture righteousness had become An Le’s daily task.

After absorbing 18 wisps of Age Qi on the Literary Monument, An Le augmented them all on the [Thousand-year Genius] Dao Fruit. Up until now, the Age Qi augmented by the [Thousand-year Genius] Dao Fruit had finally reached 100 wisps and reached the perfected-stage.

However, if he wanted to upgrade the [Thousand-year Genius] Dao Fruit to the next level, An Le still needed to add two Molten Gold Age Qi, which meant that he needed to consume two Dao Fruits.

Now, other than the Thousand-year Genius Dao Fruit, An Le also had the six Age Dao Fruits, Innate Swordsman, Collapsing Sword Force, Trance, Fearless Heart, Demon Tempering Treasure Jade, and Heroic Qi Attraction..
