by my Zhao family alone, Mr. Jiuyun probably wouldn't even bother looking at them."By the way, what about Chen Yin" Zhao Qing Shan asked. "Her Chen family, after all, was once glorious and had some f...Mount Jiusheng, an open-air square.

"A-Qi, I've already had someone go get your identity token. Let's wait here for Su Xin a while," said Su Xin.

"Um, Aqi nodded.

Two people walked on the plaza, but a large number of Nirvana Realm powerhouses gathered there all cast their eyes towards the two.

There's no way, Su Xin in Jiusheng Mountain was always a figure in the absolute spotlight.

But this time, their gaze fell on Ah Qi walking side-by-side with Su Xin.

Who is the girl beside Su Xin

"She is absolutely breathtaking!"

Within my Jiusheng Mountain, there has finally appeared a woman whose appearance can be compared to that of Xia Xianzi.

"Wasn't it that Su Xin was always pestering Xia Xianzi before How come now..."

Many people looked at Aqi with astonishment and curiosity.

But no one dared to look at her with that greedy, sinister gaze. After all, Su Xin stood beside Ah Qi, his aura was still very intimidating, and no one dared to be presumptuous.

In a tavern, Jiu Chen Daozhu, Ge Mon, and You Hou Zun were seated together.

"Three of you are here," Su Xin chuckled, "A Qi, let me introduce my three friends, Jiu Chen, Gai Meng, and You Hou."

"Hello there," Ah Qi said with a smile.

Jiuchendaozhu, Ge Meng, and Youhou Zunzhe looked at each other, their expressions rather strange.

Still, Elder Youh's eyes were sharp. He quickly gave up his seat and brought out a cup of wine to pour for Ah Qi.

After sitting down, A Qi raised his wine cup, first bringing it to his nose to sniff, then taking a light sip. Perhaps he thought the taste was good, for he then drank the entire cup in one gulp.

"Aqi, you don't drink much, do you" asked the Venerable Youhou.

"I've had homemade wine before, back in the village, but it wasn't this good," A-Qi said.

“A village” The three of them looked even more peculiar.

Ge Mun also quietly pulled Su Xin aside and asked, "Su Xin, to be honest, where did you get this girl Ah Qi from"

"Deceive" Su Xin smiled, "A Qi lived in the village at the foot of the mountain before. Because his only relative passed away, he wanted to come out and see the world, so I brought him to Jiusheng Mountain."

"Is that so" Germon nodded understandingly, then chuckled. "I have to say, you kid has a good eye indeed. This Miss Qi'er, I find her more pleasing than Summer Fairy. She's also prettier, with a graceful and ethereal beauty."

Su Xin smiled, and his gaze unconsciously shifted to Ah Qi who was drinking with Jiu Chen Daozhu and Youhou Venerable.

In terms of appearance alone, A-qi is in no way inferior to that Summer Fairy, and perhaps even more pleasing to the eye.

And she and Xia Xianzi were completely two different people.

That summer fairy was incredibly proud and arrogant. She had previously ignored Jiuchen, Gai Meng, and Youhou completely when they tried to get close to her.

Ke Aqi was very simple and innocent, with no ulterior motives or airs about her. She felt very approachable, and one couldn't help but develop a good impression of her.

Looking at Aqi is much more comfortable than looking at Xi Xianzi.

"Su Xin"

A woman in a blue robe walked over at that moment, “This is Little Seven’s identity token. From now on, she will also be one of the outer members of my Jiusheng Mountain.”

"Thank you, Sir Azure Watcher," Su Xin said gratefully.

The gaze of the azure patrol officer in front of Su Xin was rather complex.

Ten years ago, she personally led Su Xin into Jiusheng Mountain. At that time, Su Xin was just a small fry at the Huaxu realm. Under her guidance, he went to the Cechan Stele to test his aptitude, and afterwards officially became one of the core members of Jiusheng Mountain.

...Unexpectedly, it had only been a decade. Su Xin was now at Jiusheng Mountain, having reached a height that she could only look up to with complete awe.

Su Xin's reputation and influence on Jiusheng Mountain are now immense.

Like Ah Qi, originally wanted to join the Jiusheng Mountain, even if only as an outer member, he would have to go through certain screening. At least they would have some understanding of Ah Qi's background before passing.

Because it was brought back by Su Xin, with just one word from Su Xin, the court directly skipped those steps and gave A Qi's peripheral members status.

After half an hour, several people dispersed.

Su Xinze brought Ah Qi to the Sixth Sacred Mountain.

"My younger brother is back, who's this person beside you" Jiuyan looked curiously at A Qi standing beside Su Xin.

"Her name is Aqi. She's my friend, and now she's also a member of the outer circle of Jiusheng Mountain," Su Xin introduced.

"Friend" Jiuyan's eyebrows shot up.

"Brother, Ah Qi is inexperienced and doesn't like too much commotion, so I let her live on the Sixth Sacred Mountain. Is that alright" Su Xin asked.

"That's no problem at all," Jiuyuan smiled. "On the Sixth Sacred Mountain, besides the mountain master, only you and I reside there. There are plenty of residences, so just have her pick one she likes."

"Many thanks to Senior Brother Su Xin for his generosity. Afterward, he took Ah Qi to choose a residence."

Then Jiu Yan looked at Su Xin and A Qi's backs, only giving a faint smile.

Inside the cave dwelling, Jiu Yan stood respectfully before the Sixth Mountain Master.

"Lord of the Mountain, Su Xin has returned to the Sacred Mountain, and he has brought back a woman. She is now residing on the Sixth Sacred Mountain," Jiu Yan said.

"A woman" The sixth Mountain Master opened his eyes, "Romance between men and women is perfectly normal. As long as it doesn't hinder your cultivation, there's no need to worry about it, just let things take their natural course."

Jiuyuan nodded and turned to leave.

And although the Sixth Mountain Lord said not to mind it, upon Jiuyuan's departure, his spiritual awareness immediately surged.

Originally, he just wanted to casually glance and see how his disciple's eyes were doing.

The moment his spiritual awareness enveloped Ah Qi...

She, she is...

Possessing terrifying power, capable of crushing the three palace masters of the Heavenly God Palace single-handedly, and always like an iceberg, even when heaven and earth turned upside down, he wouldn't change his expression. The sixth Mountain Master, at this moment, revealed a shocked and unbelievable expression.

It was as if I had encountered something utterly extraordinary.

After a long while, the Sixth Mountain Master's expression finally calmed down.

"Jiuyan!"

The Sixth Mountain Lord summoned Jiuyuan again.

Since that woman has taken residence on my Sixth Holy Mountain, she can be considered under my command. Go and inquire about her skills and what level she is at in terms of technique. Report back to me in detail, so I can arrange a cultivation plan for her.

Besides, that small library is also open to her. At that time, I will bring some books that are useful to her from here and let her comprehend the Sixth Mountain Master's teachings.

"Jiuyuan nodded, but his heart was filled with surprise. "

She was just a simple village girl brought back by Su Xin. The master of the mountain would actually arrange a cultivation plan for her and even open up the small library

This is how a disciple is treated, isn't it

Could it be that even the mountain master himself intends to take in Ah Qi as a disciple

Although doubtful, Jiuyan still did as instructed.

……

Back at Jiusheng Mountain, Su Xin, under Jiu Yan's supervision, began his previous journey of arduous cultivation.

Every day, either I'm lost in contemplation of swordsmanship within the small library or honing my skills in the endless cycle of sword combat.

As for Ah Qi, she has also settled down on Mount Sixth Holy. Her dwelling is surrounded by a vast open space where she planted some vegetables and flowers. She lives a leisurely life, free from worry.

Originally, the sixth mountain master had arranged some cultivation plans for her. However, Ah Qi didn't follow them at all. She only tried to cultivate occasionally when she felt inspired, or went to the small library to look for some books.

To this, the Sixth Mountain Master surprisingly didn't say much, and even specifically instructed Jiu Yan to not force A Qi. He said to simply follow A Qi's preferences, letting her do whatever she wanted. This was completely different from how he treated Su Xin.

Perhaps it was also because of Aqi, the Sixth Mountain Master slightly relaxed his requirements for Su Xin. Before, he would only have one hour of free time every ten days, but now he has an hour of rest every day.

During this hour, Su Xin would often accompany Ah Qi to chat, and they would watch the sunset or the moon together. The relationship between the two grew closer.

In a blink of an eye, six months have passed.

……

In the small library, Su Xin looked at a swordsmanship secret manual before him, and naturally some insights appeared in his mind.

That last kind of sword intent essence, which had always perplexed him, was finally thoroughly understood by him.

"

Three hundred and eighty-one sword intents, I have finally comprehended them all!

"

Su Xin clenched her hands tightly, her heart filled with surprise.

The essence of sword intent, there are only three hundred and eighty-one kinds in total. After mastering them all, one can be considered to have achieved complete sword intent.

Before, Su Xin had already grasped the framework of the Sword Intent realm. Now that he had fully comprehended the essence of Sword Intent, with these three hundred and eighty-one types of Sword Intent essences as nodes, he could instantly construct a complete Sword Intent realm. This was completely different from his previous half-baked version.

Furthermore, with the nascent sword heart within him, his current manifestation of sword intent domain will be incredibly formidable.

"Let's go test it out in the Kendo reincarnation space!"

Su Xin immediately excitedly entered the Kendo Reincarnation Space and soon engaged in fierce battles with numerous powerful kendo masters.

Over six consecutive matches, the opponents' strengths varied greatly, but in the end, Su Xin achieved a triumphant victory in all six battles!

"As I expected, after I fully comprehended the essence of sword intent and mastered the entire realm of sword intent, with the support of my nascent sword heart, my sword intent domain was far stronger than that of ordinary sword dao masters. When I exerted all my strength, those who hadn't yet grasped the sword intent domain would be almost immobilized under my sword intent!"

"Even those who have mastered the sword intent domain, I can easily suppress and defeat them with my own domain!"

Of course, there are also some very powerful, even transcendent powerhouses in this kendo reincarnation space. The sword intent realm they master is terrifying, and some have even reached the second stage, or even the third stage. Compared to them, I'm still a bit lacking.

And during this time, after much sparring, it's clear that my understanding of the arts is still incomplete.

He created the "Star River" and "Nine Heavens" sword styles in his years of dedicated study.

The Milky Way is just a first-order elementary magic technique, needless to say.

Although Jiuxiao is a peak-level martial art with great power and a wide range, it can be ineffective against some powerful fighters with terrifying speed. Like when he encountered Aqi before, Aqi's burst of speed directly passed through his sword light, leaving his ultimate move completely empty.

Even if the level of mastery is higher and the power is stronger, it is useless if there are no opponents to face.

"If I encounter powerful opponents whose strength significantly surpasses mine, I can confidently overpower them with the Nine Heavens Style alone. However, against equally matched adversaries or those possessing terrifying speed and agility, my ultimate techniques fall short."

Su Xin pondered for a moment, then immediately began to research a new絕學.

……Their three minds and thoughts involuntarily came to a halt at this moment.My mind is blank!Everything came to a standstill.And Su Xin drew his sword in an instant.A hazy and beautiful sword light, li...
