Early in the morning, Xia Chen and Su Huaining appeared in Pei Nian's courtyard at Shufeng.

The girl looked up and saw only a faint morning light in the sky, not yet fully bright.

"What are you doing here so early?" Pei Nianyi wondered.

"Let's go, let's go to the cafeteria for breakfast. I haven't eaten buns from the cafeteria for a long time. I miss them so much." The impatient Xia Chen pulled Pei Nianyi out without saying anything.

Su Huaining, who came with Xia Chen, explained as they walked, "Xia Chen said that he has to go to the library to study every day. It's the same as when we first entered the Sword Sect, we were studying in the outer gate's academy. We are still studying together."

"Yes, yes, that's why we have to have breakfast together." Xia Chen took over Su Huaining's words, and his pace did not slow down, but became a little faster.

After eating and drinking, the three of them arrived at the library in a hurry. The other disciples had not arrived yet.

Xie Changan sat quietly in a corner on the first floor reading a book. The three of them bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Uncle Master."

"Well, the jade slips here all contain information about the Dusk Forest. You can check them out at will, but you must write down all the contents. This concerns your life and death." After Xie Changan finished speaking, he waved his hand, indicating that they should study on their own.

Pei Nian tried to pick up a jade slip and brought it close to his eyebrows, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

She was now in an endless desert, the sun was scorching the earth, the wind was howling, yellow sand filled the sky, and among the endless golden sand, a long worm as thick as a bowl crawled out.

A rough voice introduced the worm's name and characteristics, even explaining its weaknesses one by one.

Pei Nian's eyes lit up.

Is there such a method? I have to say, if this kind of learning method existed in school in my previous life, wouldn't it be easy to get a 211 or 985 university?

But no matter what, the most important thing right now is my own life.

Pei Nianyi began to sit in the library all day again, returning to his previous desperate state.

She put in the same effort as when she was studying for the CET-4 and CET-6 exams, truly working herself to the bone.

Seeing that she was flipping through the jade slip faster and faster, Xia Chen's tone became a little sour.

"She has almost finished reading three hundred jade slips today, right? If I counted correctly."

"Yes, that's right. At her speed, she has almost finished reading all the jade slips." Su Huaining said affirmatively.

Xia Chen asked in confusion: "How can you count so clearly?"

"I stared at her and counted for a whole day!" Su Huaining's eyes were a little dull.

"I think if you had just focused on the jade slip instead of staring at her, you should have been able to finish it." Xia Chen was a little speechless.

Just when the two thought Pei Nianyi was going to continue swiping the jade slips, the girl suddenly stood up and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going? Don't you want to read the jade slips anymore?"

Pei Nian turned around with a pair of bright eyes, blinking: "It's time to go find Uncle Xie to learn something else."

The two people behind him immediately stood up: "We want to go too! Good brothers should share happiness!"

The Dusk Forest is full of dangers. In addition to memorizing medicinal herbs and magical beasts, cultivation and actual combat are more important.

Especially Xia Chen, who was obsessed with kendo, said firmly: "We can't let Uncle Xie give you special treatment every time. It's time for us to take our turn occasionally!"

The girl's eyes were blurred against the light. She smiled softly and said in a cheerful voice, "Come on, take your first steps, go, go!"

The two men followed the girl with smiles on their faces and came to the sword-dancing field.

When the trio came over, Xie Changan was already waiting there, which showed that he and Pei Nian had already made an appointment to practice swordsmanship.

Xie Changan listened calmly as Pei Nianyi explained the purpose of Xia Chen and the others' visit.

He turned around to look at Xia Chen and Su Huaining, and then said, "If you want to learn, then learn."

Xie Changan casually took out a pill from his storage ring. "Pills are often made from dozens, or even hundreds, of Chinese medicinal herbs. All of these herbs must be refined and combined one by one. There can't be any mistakes. If there are any mistakes, all the previous efforts will be wasted."

He paused and looked at Su Huaining, then continued, "Except for Dan cultivators, no other cultivator can control spiritual power so precisely."

"But what if we sword cultivators can control our spiritual power and spiritual swords as accurately as alchemy cultivators when we draw our swords?" Xie Changan said slowly.

Xie Changan made a hand gesture, and spiritual power wrapped around a small branch on the open ground and floated into his hand. He took the branch and waved it lightly and casually.

The sword energy was extremely weak, completely lacking the sharp momentum of the past.

But the next moment-

"boom!"

A big tree next to Xie Changan suddenly made a loud noise, and then, accompanied by this loud noise, the whole tree began to crack from the inside of the trunk. The cracks slowly spread to the whole tree, and then it shattered into pieces in front of several people and turned into a pile of dust.

The trio was stunned.

What kind of sword move is this?

Xie Changan ignored the three people's shock and leisurely retracted the small branch: "Precise!"

After agreeing to meet again tomorrow, the three of them said goodbye to Xie Changan.

The three of them returned to their respective courtyards, pondering what had just happened.

Xia Chen: Uncle Xie is Uncle Xie, he is indeed the number one in the world of cultivation!

Su Huaining: So Dan Xiu is the best? I think I can do it!

Only Pei Nianyi was still recalling the power of that sword. How did Uncle Xie do it?

Just as Xie Changan said, alchemists have the most precise control over spiritual energy, but as far as she knows, no other alchemist can do what Xie Changan does.

She couldn't sleep, so she lay in bed and thought carefully about the sword that Xie Changan had swung.

How did he do it?

On the second day, when Xia Chen and the others came to find Pei Nianyi, they saw Pei Nianyi with a haggard and listless face and dark eyes.

"What happened to you?" The two were confused. How could the pretty and bright girl turn into this half-human, half-ghost appearance in just one night?

Pei Nian's eyes lit up when he saw Su Huaining, and instead of answering their questions, he took Su Huaining's hand and asked anxiously: "Xiao Su, what is the first step in your alchemy practice?"

"Refining elixirs? Haven't you learned that?" Su Huaining didn't understand why Pei Nianyi asked this question, but still answered honestly.

Pei Nianyi took out a herb, covered it with spiritual power, decomposed it according to the steps of alchemy, and refined it to extract the essence of the medicinal material.

Soon the herb was refined into liquid, and the herb itself turned into ashes.

"No, that's not the case." Pei Nian shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with the result.

"Why don't you try changing it to something else?" Su Huaining gave a suggestion.

Pei Nianyi picked up a small stone and covered it with spiritual power in the same way as refining spiritual medicine. He decomposed and refined it like refining elixir.
