Chapter 50 48. Truly, there has never been such a wonderful start.
Daylight wearily settled down above Sword Peak, as if even it disliked the chill here, bringing down with it a frigid coolness.
On the open ground,
Many girls looked on at this scene, with a feeling of awe inexplicably rising in their hearts.
They had never imagined that Fang Yuan would one day carry such a demeanor.
Liu Ruoxue stared intently, watching the calm-faced girl, and inexplicably thought of that scene under the moonlit night.
Her hand, hidden beneath her sleeve, couldn't help but clench tighter.
Xu Yuan slowly sheathed his sword.
Although ignored by him, the Sword Garment girl seemed to show little intention of becoming angry. She was indifferent and calm, like a sword. Conversely, the dozen or so girls who had a conflict with him earlier seemed somewhat frantic, hastening to speak, "Fang Yuan, what do you mean? Yun is asking you a question?!"
It seemed as if Xu Yuan's disregard extended not just to her, but to them as well.
Xu Yuan's eyes casually passed over them, looking at the girl, his expression remained unruffled as he uttered an 'Oh' and was about to continue practicing the ninth set of the Sword Sect's basic sword maneuvers.
"You?!"
"Sister, look, Fang Yuan isn't even considering you."
Yun looked at them with some disdain, raised her hand, and motioned for them to be quiet.
She then gracefully stepped forward, approaching Xu Yuan, and asked again, "Fang Yuan?"
"Whether or not I am called Fang Yuan, does this Sister not know?"
Xu Yuan's gaze fell on the girl they called Yun, his expression showing none of the anxiety or fear his juniors typically exhibited upon seeing her; he was quite calm.
This made Yun narrow her eyes slightly.
"Previously, you were disrespectful to Ye and the others, was there such a matter?"
She casually chose a pretext they had fabricated earlier and asked.
"So what if there was?"
Xu Yuan offered no defense, seeing clearly that her reason for confronting him was not genuine. When she spoke of the matter, her emotion was as flat and unwavering as the sword she carried on her back.
"A spar?"
Liu Ruoxue indifferently said, "For a newly promoted disciple like you, you would generally be assigned a spot in the middle section, while someone who advanced long ago like Yun can only be in the back section. If you lose in a sparring match, the other person could swap places with you."
"So it seems, I don't have much to gain."
Xu Yuan feigned disappointment as he nodded, but inside, he felt an unusual surge of excitement, and it wasn't because of the Sword Cleansing Pool.
It was because he had finally found that flicker of spiritual light that had flashed through his mind.
He had previously struggled with lack of resources in his cultivation.
But he had forgotten about the fact that he possessed the Yang Charm Demon Body.
It's known that the Yang Charm Demon Body is an Innate Dual Cultivation Holy Body that instinctively knows how to Absorb Yin to Supplement Yang,
And now, there were so many cultivation resources before him, yet hem had been thinking about other heavenly treasures and materials; it was simply foolish.
If handled well, wouldn't this be the wonderful start of the Harmony Sect he had dreamed of?
Of course, if not handled well, the outcome was also predictable.
After all, if he wanted to engage in extensive Absorbing Yin to Supplement Yang here, he first needed to solve a few problems.
First, there was likely at least one Primordial Spirit-stage great power overseeing here; how to deceive her was one issue.
Second, the United Heart Curse that Tian Liuli had placed on him hadn't been resolved. Though she and he were currently falling out, as long as the United Heart Curse was unbroken, she wouldn't care too much and would just see his actions as a quirk—this was why she hadn't sought him out. If he really broke it, then she certainly wouldn't show mercy any longer and would treat it as a betrayal.
Third, to engage in Absorbing Yin to Supplement Yang, apart from being wary of the Yin Branch's Primordial Spirit True Person, he had to also beware of people from the Yang Branch. Thus, the best method was to let them succumb quietly and willingly because he didn't want to cause any fatalities.
Therefore, when he heard Liu Ruoxue mention that the Sword Pool flowed downwards, his mind suddenly conceived a bold plan.
This Sword Cleansing baptism could be an excellent opportunity.
However, before that, he needed to conduct some experiments first.
As for the experimental subject, Xu Yuan's gaze landed on Liu Ruoxue.
But he soon moved his gaze away. It wasn't that it wasn't possible, but that it wasn't enough.
One experimental subject wasn't enough.
Therefore, he turned his gaze to Yun, who had a troubled expression across the way.
"If you want me to agree, it's not impossible."
