I Can Strengthen Infinitely

In the village, there is a sword hall, unnamed, but the owner is a master. According to the old man, each time the human-faced owl attacks Forgotten Sword Village, it is the owner who goes out to eliminate it.

Qin Yuesheng entered the village and followed three generations of the Huang family to a large courtyard, which is where they live.

As soon as they entered, he saw many garlic and chili peppers hanging on both sides of the door. Just as Huang Ye stepped inside, an old lady enthusiastically ran up with a cane, laughing, "Old man, you really brought our grandson back."

Huang Ye nodded gratefully, "Fortunately, we met an Immortal this time; otherwise, it would have been really dangerous."

"An Immortal?" The Huang family members, who came rushing at the sound, were all shocked. Although there are legends of Immortals in the world, no one has ever heard of anyone actually seeing a real Immortal.

Following Huang Yuan’s respectful gaze towards Qin Yuesheng, everyone else also turned their eyes towards him.

"It’s nothing, saving a life is just a small matter." Qin Yuesheng nodded.

After a brief conversation, the Huang family immediately started busying themselves, chopping wood, boiling water, killing chickens and geese, to properly entertain Qin Yuesheng, their lifesaving benefactor.

Soon, darkness fell.

The courtyard was bustling, with three large tables set up. The Huang family invited Qin Yuesheng to the main seat and then took their own seats, waiting for the women of the house to serve the dishes.

Jars of wine were brought over, and everyone was happy, starting to raise their glasses and make toasts.

Screech!

Suddenly, a strange cry echoed from the direction of Thunder Owl Mountain in the sky.

At the same time, a strong wind began to blow in Forgotten Sword Village, creating a howling noise among the village objects, almost knocking them over.

Qin Yuesheng quickly stood up and as he looked intently, he saw a human-faced owl, much larger than the ones he had seen before, flying rapidly.

The entire body of this human-faced owl was sparkling with electric light, its face like a red jujube, and its beak like bronze-iron, looking extraordinarily unusual.

As the human-faced owl got closer, even the Huang family could see its appearance and stature clearly.

Huang Ye’s expression changed instantly, shouting, "Not good! It’s the human-faced owl king."

It turns out that among the human-faced owls, there are some mutated types. These human-faced owl kings are far more powerful than ordinary human-faced owls in terms of ability.

The flying speed of this human-faced owl king was extremely fast. In just a blink of an eye, it had crossed several miles. Seeing the lightning flashing all over its body, once it entered Forgotten Sword Village, it would definitely cause great casualties. Therefore, Qin Yuesheng immediately prepared to act and kill this human-faced owl king halfway.

But at that moment, someone else already acted ahead of him.

Swish!

A sword light suddenly soared into the sky from somewhere in Forgotten Sword Village, piercing through the firmament, illuminating the dark sky in an instant.

The human-faced owl king, with its body sparkling with electric light, didn’t even have time to react, as it was already stopped mid-air.

A blood line extended from its forehead down its back to its tail.

Crack.

So easily, the body of the human-faced owl king split into two halves.

"Ah, it’s Teacher Qiu Mountain who made the move."

"Teacher Qiu Mountain’s sword is still so powerful."

"If one day I can reach Teacher Qiu Mountain’s Sword Dao strength, I will definitely kill all the human-faced owls on Thunder Owl Mountain."

The Huang family did not even rise from their seats, each looking calm and composed, evidently having anticipated such a situation. The human-faced owl king could never cause any impact on Forgotten Sword Village.

For this earth-shattering sword strike, Qin Yuesheng was deeply impressed. The power of this sword strike was at least above that of a Grandmaster.

In a small Forgotten Sword Village, there are actually such masters hidden.

Immediately, Qin Yuesheng had the idea of going over to see this person.

After the feast, Qin Yuesheng took the opportunity to find an excuse to say goodbye and left the Huang family courtyard, heading towards the place where the sword light had just appeared.

This was a very old small house, with four or five scarecrows tied to wooden sticks placed at the door. Not far away, in a corner by the wall, several stone locks were piled up, which should be the unnamed sword hall that Huang Ye had mentioned.

"Who would have thought that a master with strength above that of a Grandmaster would hide in such a small village to teach ordinary people sword skills?" Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but think to himself.

He had just reached four or five steps outside the gate when a voice suddenly came from inside.

"It’s late, what do you want?"

This was a rather old voice, sounding like someone quite elderly.

It was not unexpected for Qin Yuesheng, as those who become Grandmasters are mostly elderly, followed by middle-aged, while someone as young as Qin Yuesheng being a Grandmaster is extremely rare and one in a million; even finding five such people in the world is exceedingly difficult.

"That sword strike just now was very impressive, I came to visit especially," Qin Yuesheng replied.

"Do you also like swords?" the person asked.

Qin Yuesheng shook his head, "I prefer using knives."

"Then no matter how amazing my swordsmanship is, what does it have to do with you?"

Qin Yuesheng thought for a moment, "Your accent sounds familiar, could it be you’re from Jiangnan?"

There was a pause in the voice before saying, "Come in."

Upon pushing the door open and entering the house, it was quite exquisitely arranged inside, with wooden chairs, tables, beds, and a specially made sword rack hanging with various swords.

Long swords, short swords, tridents, and mother-in-law swords, in great variety.

Behind a wooden table in the room, sat an elder with white hair.

His eyes were bright, his complexion rosy, dressed in a green robe, and across his knees lay a brand new wooden sword with many unpolished engravings on the blade.

"Sir, I am Qin Yuesheng from Jiangnan." Qin Yuesheng cupped his fist in greeting.

"Over there, to have a Grandmaster as young as you..." the old man said, looking at Qin Yuesheng, unable to help but sigh with emotion, with a hint of envy and regret in his expression.

"Among the Grandmasters in the nine provinces of the world, there are no more than a hundred. Most likely, the other Grandmasters have left. Since you chose to leave the nine provinces and live alone in this small village, even if you want to cultivate to the Five Qi Dynasties origin realm, this is not the appropriate place," Qin Yuesheng said as he found a chair and sat down.

"Young man, speaking of the Five Qi Dynasties origin realm so lightly, your strength should be much higher than I just guessed. Truly a young talent. I have lived here for many years and have not competed with anyone; how about you and I go to Thunder Owl Mountain tonight for a spar?"

"That would be good," Qin Yuesheng nodded in agreement.

Judging from that sword strike just now from the opponent, it was evidently not from an ordinary Grandmaster. As he was just entering the Three Flowers at the Top Realm, able to spar with a strong person and gain some insights was indeed excellent.

The two got up to leave, when Qin Yuesheng noticed the old man intended to take that wooden sword with him out, without any intention of using those steel swords at all.

Qin Yuesheng used the weapon known as Celestial Divinity, and even divine weapons couldn’t withstand it, let alone a wooden sword; how could they fight like this.

Qin Yuesheng was not weaker than the elder in strength, to the point where he let him use a wooden sword to suppress him, so he proactively reminded, "Sir, my blade is not ordinary, even if you’ve accomplished the Five Qi Dynasties origin realm, you can’t beat me with just a wooden sword, best to change now."

The elder looked at Qin Yuesheng and shook his head faintly, "This is not an ordinary sword, nor is my sword ordinary, you don’t have to worry."

"Alright then," seeing the opponent so insistent, Qin Yuesheng no longer objected, taking the lead as he walked out the door. The elder followed closely behind, and the two left Forgotten Sword Village one after the other, heading towards the depths of Thunder Owl Mountain.

Inside Thunder Owl Mountain, the proliferation of human-faced owls was rampant and numerous. Even though Qin Yuesheng had killed so many today, it still hadn’t materially affected the whole ecosystem of Thunder Owl Mountain. They only cleared one area, which now served as the perfect venue for Qin Yuesheng and the elder to spar without interference from the human-faced owls.
