“This...”
After retreating several steps, Luo Lanxue finally steadied her charming body. Not bothering about her injuries, her eyes were shocked as she looked at the martial arts manual in Yin Luoli’s hands.
“This is Martial Will!”
Thinking of this, huge waves were set off in Luo Lanxue's heart.
What exactly is going on here? She actually saw Martial Will in an ordinary person's picture book. If it wasn't for her injuries constantly reminding her, she probably would have thought she was dreaming.
Martial Will.
That was the legendary thing.
Let alone her, even her master, a Martial Spirit powerhouse, could not comprehend Martial Will. It was said that only existences at the Martial Emperor level could initially perceive Martial Will.
She was able to recognize this as Martial Will because her master, Qingshan Laozu, had let her feel traces of Martial Will during the sect's legacy imparting. But that trace of Martial Will compared to the one in this book was like a firefly's glow, not even worth mentioning.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Yin Luoli looked at the blood-spitting Luo Lanxue and anxiously asked.
"I'm fine. Can you let me take a look at the book in your hands?" Luo Lanxue said urgently at this time, her eyes fixed on the book.
"Of course you can. This book is really good!" Yin Luoli held out her little arm and said.
Luo Lanxue solemnly took the martial arts manual, but discovered something. She instantly looked at Yin Luoli with shocked eyes.
"Luo Li, you... you... you..."
At this moment, Luo Lanxue's pupils dilated, her heart beat faster, her body trembled slightly, as if she had seen something very difficult for her to believe.
"What's wrong with me, sister?" Yin Luoli blinked her big eyes and asked.
"Your cultivation level?" Luo Lanxue said in shock: "How has your cultivation level improved so much?"
When she had gone down the mountain, she had clearly checked that Yin Luoli was at the 1st level of the Martial Artist realm. But now...
She was at the 5th level of the Martial Artist realm!
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Luoli also hurriedly sensed her own cultivation level.
"It's true, I really am a genius blessed by the heavens, haha..."
When Yin Luoli discovered her cultivation level had indeed improved, she immediately happily boasted.
But Luo Lanxue took a deep breath.
It was true that Yin Luoli was talented, but it was absolutely impossible to reach this point, let alone break through five levels in such a short time.
The only possible reason was...
She looked at the martial arts manual in her hand!
At this moment, she felt uneasy.
She steadied her trembling jade hands, took a deep breath, and eagerly flipped open the martial arts manual again.
"Tai Chi!"
What entered her eyes were these three big words.
The handwriting looked casual and curved, but on closer inspection it was also vigorous and powerful.
With just these three words, Luo Lanxue was deeply drawn in. In her eyes, it was as if a different world had appeared.
A strange Tai Chi diagram, with her standing at its center. Looking up, the vast starry sky was dotted with stars, arranged in a strange pattern.
She unconsciously turned to the next page.
The vividly depicted little human figure, in her rapidly enlarging pupils, gently pushed over the vast palm imprint.
Her breathing suddenly became hurried, beads of fragrant sweat instantly slid down her forehead.
At this moment, she felt like a small boat in a storm, at risk of capsizing at any time in this vast world, so she hurriedly closed the martial arts manual and stood in place panting heavily.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Yin Luoli quickly grabbed Luo Lanxue's arm and asked with concern.
It took Luo Lanxue a long time to recover. After finally calming down, just as she was about to speak, she was shocked to discover that her cultivation level had broken through from the 9th level of the Martial Artist realm to the Great Martial Artist realm.
Luo Lanxue was stunned.
The Martial Artist and Great Martial Artist realms were a major hurdle for cultivators, and many were stuck at the 9th level for life without being able to cross over. Although she was confident in her talents, she thought it would take at least a year to make the breakthrough.
But now, in less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, she had managed to break through?
It had to be said, if news of their breakthroughs today spread out, it would probably rock the entire South Sha region!
She wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead and tightly gripped the martial arts manual in her hand like it was a precious treasure.
"Sister, what exactly is going on with you?"
Seeing the abnormal state Luo Lanxue was in, Yin Luoli became increasingly worried.
My sister has always been very strict with herself, keeping herself in a cultivating state at all times. Could it be that she was too anxious and angry, causing inner demons to emerge?
"Luo Li!" Finally, Luo Lanxue regained her senses. She grabbed Yin Luoli's arm and said solemnly, "Promise me that you absolutely won't reveal anything about this book, not even half a word."
"Why?"
Yin Luoli blinked her big eyes, puzzled.
"You don't need to ask so much. You just need to know that this book..." Luo Lanxue took a deep breath and said solemnly, "This book may be the biggest opportunity in your life, and it may also determine life or death for my Qingshan Sect."
"Huh?"
Yin Luoli was a little stunned by this information.
"Also, I need to take this book back to Master as soon as possible." Luo Lanxue continued.
"Alright!"
Yin Luoli scratched her head. She hadn't finished reading it yet, and although she was very reluctant, her sister's expression did seem very serious.
Also, she really couldn't figure out how this book could become the biggest opportunity in her life, and even determine life or death for Qingshan Sect.
Luo Lanxue pulled Yin Luoli and rushed back towards the sect.
Thinking back...
That young man sitting casually on the lounge chair was no ordinary mortal!
He must have been a peerless expert beyond her imagination, his cultivation level having long reached the realm of returning to simplicity and playing with the world.

No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
