Chapter 522: Hanlin
Mount Qingdu.
Time flowed like a gentle stream. Mount Qingdu had fully established itself as a peak in the lake, seamlessly connected to the earth veins beneath it. It was no longer possible to tell that the mountain was moved here.
Li Xijun was practicing swordsmanship on the mountain. Compared to his brothers, he was not particularly gifted with swords.
Over the past two years, Li Ximing had broken through to the ninth heavenly layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm with the help of pills, and his cultivation was progressing well. Li Xizhi had also reached the seventh heavenly layer, while Li Xijun remained stuck at the sixth heavenly layer.
The last three heavenly layers of the Qi Cultivation Realm are really challenging. I'm less talented than them and had only managed to keep pace before due to receiving some advantages… It's only natural that I've fallen behind now.
Li Xijun remained positive, practicing his swordsmanship day and night. As he swung his long sword, he gradually developed a certain grace, thus attaining mastery of this technique.
"Threefold Moonlight is indeed difficult! After years of hard work, I've finally made some progress," he murmured happily to himself.
While he continued training, he noticed a monk landing on the peak with a long jade box slung across his back, gazing at him warmly.
"Master Monk, you're finally back!"
