Xuanjian: Jade True Sword Immortal, my Dao Wisdom keeps increasing.

The county of Mirwood is flat, densely forested, and has fertile soil.

The Yu family, whose surname was not related to the main family, the Jiang family, destroyed this place and their descendants now number in the tens of thousands.

With such a precious land to nurture people, no matter how much the Yu family levied exorbitant taxes and mistreated the people, they still managed to raise hundreds of thousands of commoners.

As the sun's rays began to rise in the east, several figures took to the air from a mountaintop on the west bank of Milin County, where spirit rice was grown. The cultivators from the collateral branch of the Yu family were flying away on the wind, intending to deliver the harvested spirit rice to Milin Market.

Yu Mushan, who was flying at the very front, fawned over Yu Mushan with a fawning expression:

"Haha, Second Brother is amazing! Your cultivation has already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. That Nascent Soul cultivator just now was so ungrateful. Playing with his daughter was his good fortune, yet he dared to defy our Yu family. Now look what happened, he's lost her, and he still has to smile and say thank you. What a waste!"

The leader, Yu Musheng, completely disregarded the person he had just killed, and said in a cold and ruthless tone:

"These are merely resources for mortals; it is only right that we cultivators take them and use them."

The others who flew away with them agreed wholeheartedly, nodding in agreement, completely disregarding the mortals as their own.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the three of them rode the wind, a tall man in black, his face blurred, hovered in mid-air and suddenly blocked their way.

The man in black was none other than Jiang Heqian.

Over the past year, Jiang Heqian has been extremely concerned about the attacks and destructions around the Yu family's residence.

The leader, Yu Musheng, a Qi Refining cultivator, saw someone blocking his path alone. A quick scan with his spiritual sense revealed the person's strength, but he couldn't discern it. He immediately realized the person was a high-level cultivator and, feigning composure, stepped forward and bowed.

"I am a cultivator from the Yu family of Milin County. Yu Xiaogui is my uncle. Is there anything I can do for you, senior?"

Without hesitation, Yu Mushan reached into his storage bag, intending to crush the clan jade pendant as a warning.

Jiang Heqian was already on guard, his divine sense locking onto their every move, and he said coldly:

"Of course, I can be of service. How about you gentlemen offer your heads to me?"

The Yu family cultivators heard this death-snatching sound but had no time to react.

A flash of cold light appeared before the Yu family members, and three heads flew high into the air. Blood gushed from the headless corpses, and after losing their magical power, they fell from the sky and crashed into the forest, smashing everywhere like rotten flesh.

From the moment the Yu family cultivators discovered that someone was blocking their way to the moment Jiang Heqian killed several people, only a few breaths had passed.

For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, killing one Qi Refining cultivator and two Miscellaneous Qi cultivators is naturally effortless.

Jiang Heqian had no interest in searching their storage bags and turned to fly away on the wind.

What good stuff do minor Qi cultivators have? Spirit rice is useless to them for the time being, and the Yu family's cultivation techniques and secret arts are even less likely to be found on these minor cultivators from side branches.

Over the past year, Jiang Heqian has been targeting the Qi Refining and Fetal Breathing cultivators of the Yu family for revenge, which has enraged Yu Xiaogui, the head of the Yu family. He sent cultivators to search the entire Milin County, both openly and secretly, but still could not find Jiang Heqian's hiding place.

Several hours later, Jiang Heqian circled around the vicinity of Milin County to make sure he hadn't left any traces before returning to his temporary cave on the east bank of Wangyue Lake.

For more than a year, Jiang Heqian did only two things: practice swordsmanship and take revenge on the Yu family.

Now, with the help of the Daoist Monument, he has entered the realm of swordsmanship, successfully cultivated sword energy, and has completely mastered the third-grade "Cold Jade Sword Technique".

The purpose of killing those evil cultivators from the Yu family this time was not only to avenge them, but also to refine his sword energy in actual combat. The destructive power of his sword energy far exceeded his expectations.

Back in his cave, Jiang Heqian couldn't wait to sink his divine sense into the Dao-enhancing Jade on his chest.

Within the mysterious space, striking golden seal script characters continuously appeared on the Daoist Stele.

After more than a year of being bathed in the sun and moon's light, the essence of the sun and moon that I have absorbed should be enough for me to deduce sword techniques and improve my Dao wisdom.

Jiang Heqian excitedly recited the mantra to enhance his Dao wisdom.

The Daoist stele flashed a few times, followed by a waft of fragrance. Jiang Heqian felt a great sense of ease and pleasure, as if he had suddenly understood something.

Dao Hui entered his mind in a strange way, becoming smarter, gaining more comprehension, and finding it easier to comprehend cultivation techniques.

Absorb the moon's essence to enhance your Dao wisdom, and absorb the sun's essence to deduce your cultivation methods.

Dao Hui has now achieved his goal; the next step is to deduce the sword technique.

After practicing swordsmanship for over a year, his sword energy had been fully developed, and the "Cold Jade Sword Technique" was no longer sufficient for his cultivation.

It remains to be seen whether the essence of the sun absorbed by the jade pendant this time will be sufficient to allow the Dao-Elucidating Stele to deduce the sword technique.

With a try-it-out mentality, Jiang Heqian silently read the "Cold Jade Sword Manual" in his spiritual space. The Daoist Stele was illuminated by alternating colors, and familiar golden seal script characters appeared one after another on the stele.

The fourth-grade "Cold Jade New Moon Sword Technique" contains two sword techniques: Cold Jade and New Moon. Dao Hui can also cultivate this sword technique into sword essence.

Those who achieve Sword Essence can separate their sword energy from their body and form techniques. Once the "Cold Jade Moon Sword Technique" is mastered, they can cultivate Jade Moon Sword Essence.

After reading through the sword manual on the Daoist Stele, Jiang Heqian was overjoyed.

Before we knew it, it was already the evening of the third day.

After days of running around and killing, and studying the sword manual, Jiang Heqian was extremely exhausted. He knew that cultivation required a balance of tension and relaxation, and that one-sided hard work was not advisable.

Putting aside his worries about Taoist magic and sword techniques, Jiang Heqian leaped out of the cave, found an open space, lay down casually, and stared blankly at the night sky.

It wasn't until the moon was high in the sky that Jiang Heqian came to his senses, continuing to make plans in his mind.

Judging by the timeline, Li Tongya of the Li family will soon emerge from seclusion after achieving Foundation Establishment, Chi Wei of the Qingchi Sect will break through to the next level and die, the Xiao family will become a Purple Mansion Immortal Clan, Xiao Chuting will hold a Purple Mansion celebration, and Li Tongya will travel to the Xiao family in Lixia to offer his congratulations...

He could first go to the Xiao family's Guanyun Peak Market to find a weapon refiner to forge a spirit sword, and wait for Li Tongya to attend the Dharma Assembly, then seize the opportunity to establish a relationship with him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Heqian drew the fetal breathing level magic sword from his waist, shook his head helplessly, and realized that he really needed to change to a spirit sword.

After much deliberation, his thoughts returned to the sword manual. Jiang Heqian simply got up and, under the moonlight, began to gracefully wield his sword according to the instructions in the "Cold Jade New Moon Sword Manual."

Milky white sword energy flowed across the sword, leaving a chilling aura wherever the magic sword passed.

The tall man, seemingly tireless, wielded his sword under the moonlight until the sun rose in the east, at which point he sheathed his sword and returned to his cave.

Sword light and sword energy are merely the beginning of swordsmanship. Only by cultivating sword essence can one be considered to have officially embarked on the path of swordsmanship. Only by cultivating sword intent, which is comparable to supernatural powers, can one be considered to have achieved some success in swordsmanship.

The moonlight absorbed by the Dao-expounding stele this time enhanced his Dao wisdom and increased his comprehension, with immediate results, making his sword technique cultivation even more successful.

In the future, by absorbing the essence of the moon to enhance one's Dao wisdom and comprehension, cultivating sword intent will naturally follow.

In the Xuanjian world, sword cultivation relies solely on personal comprehension, and naturally no one doubts one's rapidly improving sword skills.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Jiang Heqian prioritized deducing sword techniques and cultivating the sword path. During the foundation-building stage, he needed to have means of protection before he could cultivate the Dao with peace of mind.

Moreover, sword intent can only be cultivated before the Purple Mansion Divine Power. Since he has already cultivated the Dao Foundation [Jade Court General], he can put his cultivation aside for now and concentrate on practicing swordsmanship.

Soon after, Yu Zhen's position was restored, and Shangyuan Zhenjun was also a sword immortal. If he wanted to follow the path of Yu Zhen, practicing swordsmanship was essential.

All these factors point to sword practice being the optimal solution for him at this moment.
