"Sword Venerable Master, are you planning to teach me a soul attack martial skill?" Chu Nan's heart was pounding.

There isn't a single soul attack martial skill in the entire Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, yet Kui Guang actually possesses one.

Such a martial skill, in conjunction with his Sea of Consciousness, could unleash terrifyingly powerful forces at crucial moments, serving as an important trump card.

Kui Guang responded, "That's right, although this technique is only mid-grade Yellow Level, it is perfectly suitable for you."

Chu Nan eagerly urged, "Sword Venerable Master, please teach me this technique quickly."

"Very well, cultivating this technique will also be a test for you." Kui Guang nodded, then released a large amount of scripture from his body, all of which rushed into Chu Nan's mind.

Chu Nan's Sea of Consciousness churned continuously, seemingly resonating with this cultivation technique.

Kui Guang explained, "This technique is called the Ten Directions Frightening Soul Sword, which uses Spiritual Sense to unleash Sword Qi and attack an enemy's soul."

"It is divided into three realms, capable of directly shaking or injuring a martial artist's soul. When mastered to the final level, it can even annihilate the soul of a martial artist of the same realm!"

"The first realm, Soul Shaking, can temporarily cause a martial artist's soul to lose control over the physical body. The second realm, Soul Breaker, can shatter a martial artist's soul, with the lightest consequence being serious injury, and the heaviest resulting in a coma, turning them into a living corpse."

"And the third realm, Soul Destruction, has the greatest power. If the soul is weaker than yours, a single sword strike can tear and obliterate it, making it a true killing technique!"

"For you right now, reaching the Soul Shaking realm already surpasses most martial artists."

Upon hearing Kui Guang's explanation of the three realms, Chu Nan couldn't help but gasp.

If he truly mastered the Soul Destruction realm, wouldn't he be able to slay enemies silently and without them being able to defend against it?

"Thank you, Sword Venerable Master. I will diligently comprehend the Ten Directions Frightening Soul Sword and strive to reach the Soul Destruction realm as soon as possible!" Chu Nan was extremely confident in himself.

Opening the Sea of Consciousness at the Spirit Pill Realm, this opportunity was enough for him to advance far on the path of soul martial skills!

Kui Guang nodded in satisfaction and then said, "I have another technique that can help you cultivate the Ten Directions Frightening Soul Sword under immense pressure, allowing you to quickly achieve the first realm, Soul Shaking."

"Please enlighten me, Sword Venerable Master." Chu Nan was excited in his heart, feeling that becoming Kui Guang's disciple was definitely the best decision.

If not for Kui Guang, he couldn't have advanced his abilities so quickly.

Kui Guang calmly said, "I will soon provide you with a list of Artifact Refining Materials to personally forge a Spirit Martial weapon for you to aid in cultivating the Ten Directions Frightening Soul Sword!"

Chu Nan's eyes lit up, somewhat incredulous, "Sword Venerable Master, you can refine artifacts?"

"What a joke!" Kui Guang said disdainfully, "A Sword Cultivator who cannot refine artifacts is not worthy of being called a Sword Cultivator."

"Back in the day, I excelled not only in cultivation but also achieved unprecedented mastery in artifact refining!"

Hearing Kui Guang's proud tone, Chu Nan pondered in his heart, "In the future, I must have the Sword Venerable Master teach me artifact refining techniques."

Soon, a wealth of information surged into Chu Nan's mind, and he discovered that these Artifact Refining Materials were not precious, nor particularly rare, but they all shared a common characteristic.

That was weight!

"I wonder what kind of Spirit Martial weapon the Sword Venerable Master will forge for me. Could it be a heavy sword?" Chu Nan was puzzled, as he had never used a heavy sword before. Would it be appropriate?

However, this was Kui Guang's request, and Chu Nan could not defy it, so he prepared to go out and purchase the Artifact Refining Materials.

In just a day, as agreed, he would meet Chen Kaiyang, and he needed to have everything ready before then.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he heard a rumbling sound from the room where Gu Nianxue was secluded in cultivation.

"What a powerful surge. Could it be that Gu Nianxue has broken through again?" Chu Nan marveled inwardly; since cultivating the Cold Lotus Saint Sculpting Technique, Gu Nianxue's progress could only be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.

With a creak, Gu Nianxue, who had broken through to the seventh tier of the Spirit Pill Realm, walked out of the room and joyfully asked upon seeing Chu Nan, "Chu Nan, where are you going?"

Chu Nan's pupils involuntarily narrowed upon seeing Gu Nianxue.

He wondered if it was due to the War Body or her advancement in cultivation, but at that moment, Gu Nianxue appeared even more stunning than before.

At the same time, she exuded a cool and unparalleled aura, like an immortal descending to the mortal realm, causing Chu Nan to be momentarily stupefied. He couldn't help but think, "How did I not notice earlier? Gu Nianxue is so captivating?"

"Chu Nan, what's wrong?" Seeing Chu Nan in a daze, Gu Nianxue asked in surprise.

Chu Nan snapped out of it, gave an awkward smile, and then said, "Going to the Treasure Pavilion to buy some Artifact Refining Materials."

"You can refine artifacts?" Gu Nianxue's beautiful eyes slightly narrowed in disbelief, "With your talent, you could probably create a top-grade Mortal Martial weapon, couldn't you?"

For a Spirit Pill Realm Martial Artist, crafting a top-grade Mortal Martial weapon was already remarkable.

"I know a little, I know a little." Faced with Gu Nianxue's astonishment, Chu Nan couldn't very well admit he couldn't refine artifacts, so he replied ambiguously.

Meanwhile, in spiritual communication with Kui Guang, he said, "Sword Venerable Master, please teach me artifact refining skills when there's a chance."

Kui Guang chuckled to himself, realizing that Chu Nan also had a bit of pride.

Gu Nianxue's eyes sparkled, and then she cautiously said, "I know some senior brothers at the Treasure Pavilion who might be able to get you a discount. How about I accompany you?"

Chu Nan did not refuse and replied calmly, "If that's the case, then I'll trouble you."

"Compared to the favor I owe you, this is nothing." Gu Nianxue chuckled softly, then accompanied Chu Nan to the Treasure Pavilion.

...

An hour later, Chu Nan and Gu Nianxue had left the Treasure Pavilion.

Chu Nan is now at the top of the True Inheritance List, his status revered, and no one in the Sect dares to trouble him anymore; on the contrary, they all show him great respect.

During this visit to the Treasure Pavilion, he didn't even need Gu Nianxue's help; Chu Nan purchased the necessary Artifact Refining Materials at extremely low prices.

Afterward, Chu Nan also exchanged the storage rings obtained from slaying Lu Chi, Jia Yu, and others in the Haotian Tower for contribution points.

Their lifetime's accumulation surprisingly amounted to forty thousand contribution points!

This wealth, for any disciple, would be considered astronomical.

Chu Nan was satisfied and, together with Gu Nianxue, prepared to return to their residence at Sword Peak. But as they reached the foot of Sword Peak, they encountered a familiar figure.

"Greetings, Master."

"Greetings, Sect Leader."

Chen Kaiyang, expressionless, walked down from Sword Peak and then looked at Chu Nan, asking, "Where have you just been?"

Chu Nan did not hide anything and obediently mentioned that he had gone to purchase Artifact Refining Materials.

Chen Kaiyang did not ask further but quietly said, "Prepare yourself to leave tomorrow."

"Yes, Master," Chu Nan replied immediately, but then he was puzzled, "Where are we going?"

Chen Kaiyang glanced at Chu Nan and said lightly, "To take you back to the Chu family, to sever the vendetta!"

Upon hearing these words, Chu Nan's body couldn't help but tremble.
