Chapter 5: Hunting a Fugitive!
With the aid of century-old divine herbs, Li Yanchu’s cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. After all, ordinary martial artists didn’t have the luxury of consuming such potent medicine regularly.
Even if one had untold wealth, one might still never get their hands on a hundred-year-old ginseng or lingzhi[1]!
For those in the jianghu, such treasures were rare beyond belief and encountered only by great fortune.
The cultivation of Six Yang Force consumed an enormous amount of a person’s qi and blood. This martial art advanced by burning one's qi and blood to enhance the power of the Six Yang Force.
If practiced incorrectly, it could lead to severe depletion of qi and blood, resulting in irreversible long-term damage. In severe cases, the practitioner’s meridians might rupture, leading to death.
But now, with the nourishment of century-old medicinal herbs, Li Yanchu had no such worries. A century-old divine herb contained immense medicinal power that greatly nourished qi and blood. He only needed to take them and continue training.
This saber technique had a total of six stages, and the Six Yang Force it cultivated was incredibly sharp and powerful. Under normal circumstances, it would take much longer, but Li Yanchu had reached the fourth stage in just seven days!
His blood and qi surged with intense power, and his muscles and bones were brimming with strength.
At this moment, Li Yanchu already carried the imposing presence of a true saber master. His eyes gleamed with brilliance, his aura was fierce, and his sharpness was on full display.

Li Yanchu went out to buy the herbs he planned to elevate into a century-old divine medicine using the Decree of Bestowal. On the way, he stopped by the Taiping Inn for some tea.
