The Sword of the Spirit Hunter
CHAPTER 17 | The Sword of the Cloud of Fire

The medicinal shop looked quite complete, Xiaozi then inquired about the cultivation medicine pills to the shopkeeper man.

“There sir, we have earth level cultivation pills tier 7 to 9” said the man.

“Is there a god-level cultivation pill?" xiaozi asked the man.

The man was surprised to hear Xiaozi's question asking about the god level cultivation pill.

“Young people, god-level cultivation pills are not just sold in drugstores like ours. If you want it, you have to go to the city of Beringin in the west of the city of Pelangi” said the man

“Banying City?” Xiaozi repeated it

“True. What's the auction house there. You might be able to get god-level medicinal pills there at the bid price at the auction” said the man

“Auction? Ah, then I buy this earth level cultivation pill only. Give me the level 7 to 9” Xiaozi told the man

Xiaozi did not want to go to the auction, as the prices at the auction were usually very high. He had to save the gold his mother had stored in this ring before being able to make his own money from monster hunting.

After obtaining the cultivation pill, Xiaozi then returned to his inn. He then reopened a few pages of the book to the 1st level of the Silver Stage.

On the bronze cultivation technique page, there was also a sword style in it, namely the style of the Fire Cloud Sword.

“I must gradually learn this Celestial Sword Cultivation Technique. I have to pass the Bronze level 2 first before learning the style of the Fire Cloud Sword.” Xiaozi muttered

Xiaozi was like being hooked on learning to cultivate in this world. He who was previously lazy to train in his home world, had now truly become addicted to continuously improving his cultivation.

With the help of a tier 7 Earth Cultivation Pill, Xiaozi had easily increased his cultivation through a tier 2 bronze stage yet did not look as exhausted as before.

“It seems that my strength is more than enough to fight the prince of Shang” Xiaozi muttered feeling his strength has increased greatly.

“It is time to practice the style of the Fire Cloud Sword” he thought then took out Lingjian's sword.

Then Xiaozi trained the Fire Cloud Sword skill from the instructions on the cultivation book page of the Heaven Sword he borrowed using his Lingjian sword.

Xiaozi's movements at the beginning were still stiff despite having repeated them several times. But until late at night he was still unable to master it.

Finally Xiaozi decided to rest and continue training in the style of the Fire Cloud Sword tomorrow.

The third day in the beginner monster hunter class, Tuo's six grandfather disciples including Xiaozi were now displaying their respective cultivation strength in turn

The burly student then showed off his strength that had broken through to the 4th iron level to the student in the class. The other four students admired him. While the other four disciples could only break through the iron stage of level 2 and level 3.

“Ayo Xiaozi, I want to see where you have reached today?” said the burly disciple mocking Xiaozi

“You are at most only able to rise up to the iron level of the 3” muttered the burly disciple underestimating Xiaozi.

“Good. Finally you all have really learned to increase your cultivation strength” said grandfather Tuo

When it was Xiaozi's turn, he slowly increased his strength. As the eyes of all the disciples looking at him had risen to the 4th level of iron, all the eyes could not believe what they saw.

And Xiaozi's strength was still steadily increasing through level 5 and everyone was speechless at Xiaozi's ability. Xiaozi's strength was still not at its maximum, he then continued to fill his body with energy.

As Xiaozi's strength pierced through the bronze stage, all eyes were shocked by it.

“Good! you managed to break through the Bronze level 1” Tuo's grandfather said

The other five novice disciples gaped at seeing Xiaozi have broken through to the Bronze stage. They had wanted to humiliate Xiaozi by showing off their cultivation level, but it was unexpected that Xiaozi had left them far behind.

The difference in strength between the iron stage and the bronze stage was quite far away. The burly disciple's eyes twitched at the strength of Xiaozi.

“Xiaozi, has it reached the maximum limit of your strength?” ask Grandpa Tuo to her.

“But cake. I broke through bronze stage level 2 last night, kek” Xiaozi said

Grandpa Tuo's eyes widened to hear him, he had not expected that in two days Xiaozi had broken through to even the 2nd level of bronze stage.

“This child is actually very talented, but why is his nature timid and not so caring?” muttered Grandpa Tuo in his heart

“How about your moves?” continued Grandpa Tuo asked him.

Xiaozi then took out the sword blade within the beginner monster hunter class and began swinging it to reveal the Fire Cloud Sword skill he had learned last night.

Grandpa Tuo narrowed his eyes at Xiaozi's movements that memorized the moves but still looked very stiff. The other five novice disciples laughed amusedly at his movements. But Xiaozi still did not care about them.

“Oh, your movements are correct. But you haven't won it” said grandfather Tuo judging from Xiaozi's movements

“Power?” Xiaozi repeated Grandpa Tuo's words

His face thought hard, his forehead shriveling at the thought of what that grandfather Tuo meant to animate.

“True. To practice weapons, you have to master them. Since you have chosen the sword, you must animate the sword.” continued Tuo's grandfather

“How is grandpa? Please hint from you” Xiaozi said eagerly to learn it

“You must fuse with your weapon. Your movements should be in harmony between your soul and body” said Tuo's grandfather back

Grandpa Tuo's words did sound easy, but the practice was difficult to do just that. Xiaozi was pensively thinking of how to align his soul and body with the sword.

“Menjiwai. In harmony between soul and body” thought Xiaozi

Seeing the stunned Xiaozi thinking about his words, Grandpa Tuo then took out a sword and stood in front of Xiaozi.

“Look carefully” Tuo's grandfather told him.

Grandpa Tuo then took out a sword stance and played it beautifully. His movements were sometimes hard, sometimes soft, but his body movements were in line with and in harmony with the sword movements he made.

Then from a slow movement, the grandfather began to accelerate his movements but was not stiff and suddenly his body disappeared just as brightly as the movements of a sword that danced beautifully.

BRAKKK!

Suddenly the old man's body crashed into the table and chair in the beginner's class.

“Ehm, I'm too excited. I forgot we were in class” he said trying to stand up straight.

The five novice disciples in the class were gaping at the incident, they did not expect that grandfather's skill in playing sword moves was so great. They became very impressed with him.

“Grandfather, if you are old do not force yourself too much” said Xiaozi coldly to grandfather Tuo.

The five novice disciples who heard Xiaozi's words became furious as he made fun of Tuo's grandfather in front of them.

“Ah You are right, I am old. Do you understand what I showed you earlier?” that Tuo grandfather said to her while being astonished

“Iya. I saw him a little. Since you are old, the movement becomes very slow. In your youth it must have been incomparable” Xiaozi said coldly but her mind still remembered the clue that Grandpa Tuo had given her.

“Hahaha.. You are indeed observant and talented” Tuo's grandfather laughed happily.
