Chapter #105. Sword's MeaningTian Fan and his entourage returned to the Sun Sect, bearing numerous gifts. Throughout the journey, Tian Fan's face never stopped beaming with a wide smile as he admired the two storage rings given by Emperor Na Jong, even though he had a bump on his head from a blow by his grand elder.Tian Fan was delighted because the two storage rings from the emperor contained fourth-grade herbal plants. Additionally, he also acquired two new furnaces, one of which was specifically for refining fourth-grade pills.Meanwhile, the grand elder remained loyal, occasionally rubbing his now normal groin area while casting sly glances at the happily laughing Tian Fan."Now you have a worthy opponent who matches your mischief," Lu Bu said to Lu Tang, who responded with a sullen smile."Continue defending your golden disciple. It seems my brother enjoys seeing me suffer," complained Lu Tang, greeted with laughter from Lu Bu and Master Lian.Shortly, they arrived at the Sun S
Chapter #106. Next Level Understanding Tian Fan continued his physical training. Although he had already grasped the concept of the body as a sword, Lu Bu insisted that Tian Fan continue his physical training. Without questioning, Tian Fan followed his master's command. Tian Fan knew that when his teacher, Lu Bu, ordered something like that, there must be a strong and valid reason behind it. Questioning too much would be akin to not trusting his teacher. Therefore, Tian Fan proceeded to do what Lu Bu had instructed without hesitation. He resumed his previous training, and this time, Lu Bu added more weight to his hands, doubling the previous load. Not only that, using his aura, Lu Bu applied additional pressure to Tian Fan, making the load three times heavier than before. Tianzhi, Sun Li, Kai Fu, and Guan Long could only sweat nervously, observing the heavy burden Tian Fan bore. However, they were also motivated by Tian Fan, especially considering that he achieved the body as a swo
Chapter #107. Rules and Sword ArtAfter finishing several incense sticks, Tian Fan and the others had recovered from their injuries. Lu Bu called them all together, sitting under a lush tree. Lu Bu began to share his knowledge with Tian Fan and the others."So, what did you all gain from our previous battle?" Lu Bu asked all his disciples."Many things, Master," replied Tianzhi quickly, still holding his injured arm."Clearly, we are still like frogs in a well we don't understand the true art of the sword," added Kai Fu."It's good that you recognize your weaknesses. Although the sword is a tool, it also has its own art and advantages.""I will explain it. By understanding the rules and the art of the sword, it will also help you discover your sword dao.""Training is crucial. If you train very hard, maybe about twenty percent of what you've learned will manifest in a real fight.""You must act based on instinct, without wasting time thinking. Basic techniques will work on their own,
Chapter #108. One-Star AlchemistTian Fan carefully and meticulously read the books in front of him. He began to recall, analyze, and study each book. Not forgetting, he also noted what he considered important.After spending the whole day reading his master's books and notes, Tian Fan also began sorting out the level four herbal plants in his father's gift storage ring.From there, Tian Fan also found several spirit herbs in a special storage box. After finishing, he went to see Master Lian again."Master, I have read all the notes you provided, and I have studied them carefully. I am ready for the next practice," said Tian Fan."Very well, then. Start by practicing heating the three furnaces, as I mentioned before," said Master Lian.Tian Fan immediately began his practice. In the specialized pill refining room, he started using the furnaces given by Emperor Na Jong."Fan'er, on the left furnace, I want you to heat it and maintain it at half of its maximum temperature. The middle fu
Chapter #109. Secret WeaponGaining new knowledge ignited Tian Fan's spirit. His days were spent on various pill refining experiments. Now that he had become a true alchemist, he set a new goal for himself.Tian Fan began perfecting level one to level three pills with heavenly-grade effectiveness, ensuring their effectiveness exceeded 98%.He crafted these pills not only to refine his own methods but also to develop new techniques and abilities. For him, solidifying these skills meant not immediately creating level four pills, but rather advancing the levels and effectiveness of the pills below first.Master Lian was pleased with Tian Fan's patient mindset. What Tian Fan had in mind was indeed unique, and eventually, Master Lian followed suit.They both started refining and purifying pills from the lowest to the highest level three, aiming to create pills with pulses or veins.Master Lian didn't hesitate to use Tian Fan's methods and asked him questions. According to Master Lian, gain
Chapter #110. InnThe journey to the Northern Continent took about a month using Lu Bu's flying beast. On the seventh day, Lu Bu decided to take a one-day break in the city of Anhui, the first city the Sun Sect's group passed through.Anhui was one of the cities in the Bao Empire region.Lu Bu's eagle beast landed in one of the largest inns in the city of Anhui. After a perfect landing, they entered the inn to rest.The arrival of the Sun Sect's group caught the attention of other inn guests, who were masters of various sects, accompanying elders, and disciples of the sect. They directed their eyes toward Lu Bu's group as they entered the inn."Master Sect Lu Bu, long time no see," said an elderly man with a long white beard and white hair, cupping his hands in greeting to Lu Bu."Master Sect Gansu, how have you been? It's been a while since we last met," Lu Bu replied calmly, returning the courtesy from Gansu."I didn't expect that the 'decapitator' himself would accompany the repres
Chapter #111. CounterbluffThe atmosphere in the inn became lively after the incident. Although the guests didn't utter a word, they had their suspicions about Tian Fan being the cause of Gansu's disciples lying helpless. The physicians and alchemists present could only shake their heads, unable to comprehend what had happened to Gansu's disciples.Gansu looked toward Lu Bu, and his gaze seemed to plead for assistance. Understanding the meaning behind his senior's eyes, Lu Bu spoke up."Lian'er, can you help Senior Gansu? Perhaps you can assist them," Lu Bu suggested to Lian."Master, I'm sorry, but I can't. I'm not a physician. Fan'er is more suitable for this task as he has studied the art of healing," replied Lian swiftly, not wanting to be bothered with such matters, especially considering Gansu's earlier attitude.Lu Bu, familiar with the temperament of his sect's alchemist, then asked Guan Long to find Tian Fan and Tianzhi. Guan Long promptly left to locate the two.Within momen
Chapter #112. InsectsTian Fan sat calmly on the inn's bed, focusing on his soul power. He was attempting to control hundreds of pills intentionally released to train his soul power in controlling his pills.Applying his sword soul understanding to his pills, Tian Fan initially used ten pills as his training medium. Once accustomed and able to control these ten pills perfectly according to his version, Tian Fan began increasing the number of pills he controlled.Ten, fifty, one hundred...In the span of an incense stick burning, Tian Fan successfully fully controlled all one hundred of his pills using his soul power.Tian Fan rose from his seated position and stood in the middle of the inn room. Now, the pills surrounded Tian Fan, forming a circle around him in front, behind, to the right, and to the left.Within a range of five mi, each of the pills was under his complete control."At this point, my control range over these pills is only within a five-mi radius, the maximum range of
