Su Yuchen didn’t cultivate that night.

After the sword training, the medicinal powder given by Senior Brother Li was applied on his wounds to heal them. When he first applied the medicine powder on a cut on his hand, it caused an intense stinging pain in the applied area.

Su Yuchen felt a sword stick through that cut. The applied area produced small foams over the area.

Su Yuchen held his hand still, clenching his teeth to bare while bearing the pain. In a few seconds, the pain vanished, but his hand was frozen in place for quite some time.

His whole upper body became numb to pain after applying medicine to all the cuts on his body.

At night, Su Yuchen held the “Cultivation Notes” book and read through the entire book. He wanted to read it and increase his understanding of the Meridian Refinement Realm.

Su Yuchen completed read the book in one night. He had more understandings about the eight extraordinary meridians that he needs to refine.

Su Yuchen compared the knowledge in the Cultivation Notes with what he learned from the lectures and Senior Brother Li’s teaching. He came to the conclusion that the knowledge from the Cultivation Notes volume should be enough for him to perfect his cultivation realm.

His cultivation method of enduring mental pain and forcefully completing the circulation of astral energy through all the twelve primary meridians was already backed by the insights contained in the book.

The main concern was to be extreme focused and not letting the connection with the life essence to break off.

He was confidence about that part.

The extra knowledge from Senior Brother Li and the lectures were regarding medicine that he needs to know as general knowledge and common sense in the cultivation world. This medicinal knowledge was also the root of Senior Brother Li’s concern and resistance to Su Yuchen’s cultivation method.

After sorting out everything, he went to sleep.

The wounds didn’t let him have a healthy sleep that night.

Pain relentlessly killed his dreams in the middle of the night.

[Ding! Daily sign in completed. Rewarded “Rudimentary Healing Mark Rune Crystal”.]

Su Yuchen was surprised by the reward. The system was lending a helping hand to him. He removed his upper garments and immediately took out the rune crystal and placed it on top of the right side of his abdomen, below the ribs.

Su Yuchen eagerly took out a stellar rock and tapped it on the rune crystal. The rune crystal absorbed the astral energy from the stellar rock and shone brightly.

A golden symbol appeared inside the rune crystal. Su Yuchen was excitedly looking down at the rune crystal, he saw the appearance of the golden symbol and immediately identified it as the rudimentary rune of healing illustrated in the “Rune Ancestor’s Notes Volume 01”.

The golden rune of healing slowly began to shine by absorbing the astral energy from the stellar rock. It gave off eye blinding light within a minute.

Su Yuchen began to feel prickling pain in his abdomen, at the place where his liver should be. A rune mark began to appear on his skin that was in contact with the rune crystal.

Within a few moments, the rune of healing was engraved on his body.

Su Yuchen’s body began to act, astral energy in his liver was instantly supplied to the root of the rune of the healing mark. The rune mark poured its power into Su Yuchen’s body.

Su Yuchen started to feel a relieving sensation on the wounds and cuts. The pain from the cuts was immediately alleviated by the healing power of the rune mark.

Su Yuchen’s face radiated with a smile after feeling the healing power. His face immediately showed a look of gratitude, “Thank you, system!” He said gratefully in his mind.

The pain that torment him since yesterday was alleviated in a few minutes by the system.

“Senior Brother Li, there is no need for torture like yesterday. We can just have a normal training session today.” Su Yuchen stared at Senior Brother Li and spoke his words attentively.

“No. We will continue from where we stopped yesterday.” Senior Brother Li replied indifferently.

“I am not going to participate in the sword training if we have to continue from yesterday. I was already inclining towards skipping today’s practice.” Su Yuchen declared bravely.

“Your performance in yesterday’s sword training doesn’t support this. An intense and rigorous training will make you more qualified to speak those words and also support all your decisions.” Senior Brother Li stated in a gloomy tone.

“Senior Brother, you are speaking like a sword maniac. Please stop it. Let’s sit down and discuss like normal humans. I liked the way you tried to inspire me on the day I treated you, that you were more inspiration and emotional. You touched my heart with your life story. Your life experiences motivated me to cultivate with a newfound strictness.” Su Yuchen pushed out whatever nonsense that came out of his mouth. He furrowed his eyebrows, tried to show a melancholic expression, and spoke in a sad tone, “That strictness was a magical feeling, it even led me to bear all the pain from the complete twelve meridian circulation of astral energy. It was your motivation that made me to break through my mental limits. I wasn’t injured in this expedition, you don’t have to become agitated because of this.”

“Senior Brother Li, you are capable of changing my views again with just your words. You don’t have to come up with these unwanted training programs.”

Senior Brother Li smiled lightly, he narrowed his eyes and asked, “If I remember correctly, you are following your present cultivation method since you started cultivating. How did it change to a result of my motivational words, Junior Brother?”

Su Yuchen immediately shook his head, “I was experimenting. That was all my experiments with cultivation. Your words just inspired me and resulted in a more successful method. If you are saying my experiment is a failure, I will surely stop my thoughts in this direction. You can be rest assured from now, Senior Brother.”

Senior Brother Li laughed and patted the shoulder of Su Yuchen, “I am very happy that you are willing to listen to me, Junior Brother. I will ease up on the training, let’s practise swinging the sword today.”

Senior Brother Li took Su Yuchen’s hand and examined the cuts on them. He only saw minor scars on them and nodded for speed of recovery. He looked at Su Yuchen and said gently, “I was also reluctant to follow that training program, Junior Brother. Injuring you also made me feel the pain you felt. I hardened my heart and still did it to teach you that the path you chose was wrong. Let us practise normally and safely from now on. Let me look after your mental health and protect it.”

Su Yuchen quickly expressed his gratitude, “Thank you for your care and concern, Senior Brother. Your promising brings a lot of warmth to me. I will be in your care.”

Senior Brother Li smiled and led Su Yuchen to practice.

Su Yuchen cursed his Senior Brother in his heart while swinging the sword.

All the mental preparations he made were wasted while speaking with Senior Brother Li.

He decided to bow his head to the pain. No way could he bear the pain of sword cuts daily.

Now he needs to rely on Advisor System to hide from Senior Brother Li.
