Originally Yu Yan expected, that after her petty and uncalled for outburst, Jian Shen would get angry and leave.
But, against her expectations, he didn't leave.
Instead, he continued helping her, just the way he had been until now, since the day she t him.
Peeking from inside the cave, she would see the half naked Jian Shen continuously swing his sword with great determination.
Next, he'd leave her sight for a long ti, and co back with a body covered in blood and injuries.
On most of the days, he'd bring back a dead beast with him. While on the other days, he'd drag his exhausted body.
Looking at this, Yu Yan wanted to run and help him, but never did so because she didn't want to send him mixed signals.
When he brought a dead beast with him, Jian Shen would only take a small part of it, and without saying a single word place the remaining beast inside the cave and leave.
Even during nights, Jian Shen never once ca inside the cave to rest.
But, instead he sat sowhere far away in the chilling cold and cultivated tirelessly until the sun rose up in the morning.
The sa thing happened every day, making Yu Yan feel more and more bad for how she treated him. And what a child she was behaving like, right now.
What made all of it worse, that out of nowhere a High Grade Ancient Beast ca to rest near the tree where the Sun Flower herb was growing at.
Instantly Yu Yan guessed that it was here to wait for the Sun Flowers to grow, just like her.
However, unlike her who felt despair, Jian Shen directly jumped on it and began fighting it without holding back, or caring for the injuries which his body was being covered in.
Seeing how the bloody Jian Shen fought with his life on the line, Yu Yan wanted to tell him to stop and leave. But, at the sa ti she wanted him to continue fighting and win, because that's the only way she'd be able to obtain the Sun Flower and cure her illness.
Cursing herself for how selfish she was being Yu Yan didn't do anything even after Jian Shen won, and left by limping to treat himself.
...
"You're being too reckless!"
"I hate to admit it, but the broken sword is correct, husband! If you keep this up, just because the herbs are able to heal you, in the long run you'll end up damaging your regenerative abilities!"
"Ugghh... Okay... I get it.... But, could you spare the lecture... And... Hufff.... Help ?"
Finishing those words, Jian Shen began falling forward when Juewang materialized and held him.
Shooting a looking of anger towards the cave where Yu Yan was living at, Juewang took Jian Shen and entered the World Crest where a dicinal bath was prepared to specifically heal him.
...
After that one High Grade Ancient Beast, Jian Shen didn't co across any more of them.
By the second month, the small saplings had grown a foot tall with a barely visible bud growing on top of them.
As for his cultivation, due to using the array, even though it didn't allow him to cultivate at the sa speed as when his body was filled with the Qi he absorbed from other won, it was still many tis faster than cultivating without the array.
Due to this, Jian Shen in two months reached the Peak Stage of Qi Condensation Realm, and was inching closer to breaking through to the next realm.
Similarly, Jian Shen had already achieved small scale success with both of his new techniques, and therefore never ca back with his body full of injuries.
Though, there were tis when he did get injured, they weren't huge. And allowed Qingyu and Juewang to feel happy, and relived.
But, Jian Shen was starting to feel frustrated because even after so long since he obtained Sword Qi, he still hadn't increased his comprehension on the Path of Sword.
That's why, in his free ti Jian Shen started to train in the special part of the Myriad Sword Cultivation Technique, the part which is responsible to help make it easier to comprehend the Path of Sword.
This special part was different from ordinary cultivation, and had nothing to do with Qi.
Instead, it completely focused on the physical body and mind.
The technique was divided into three parts, and reaching the third part and obtaining success in it, ant the sa as completely comprehending the Path of Sword.
The three parts were - the Sword Arm, the Sword Body, and the Sword Heart.
For now, Jian Shen started training to achieve the Sword Arm.
The first step to achieve Sword Arm, which basically ant to be able to use one's arm as a sword, was to start by training the fingers.
Deciding to use his right hand, which was his dominant arm, Jian Shen began following the special training.
Which was honestly, the most painful training of his whole life.
...
The special training for the fingers, was a pure physical training. One which was ant to turn Jian Shen's fingers into a small individual sword each.
As for the goal of achieving Sword Arm, which ant that the whole arm was a sword, was to not only allow the cultivator to understand more about a sword, but to wield a real sword even better.
The current training Jian Shen was going through, was to make a fist and only extend the finger he was training.
And then, he should belive with his whole heart that his finger was a sword and slash it with the intention to cut through a hard object, which in Jian Shen's case was a block of wood.
Luckily, Jian Shen was capable of using Sword Qi to cover his finger and increase the sharpness of it, and this didn't even go against the special training part of the Myriad Sword Cultivation Technique, due to which it was destined for him to obtain a Sword Finger pretty soon.
However, while it did increase the sharpness of his finger, it did nothing to protect Jian Shen's finger from the pain he felt.
"Ugh...! Aren't you two going to try and stop ?"
Holding his finger which was profusely beading due to the various pieces of wood having splintered it, Jian Shen looked at both the swords he had placed on the floor.
