It’s quite likely that continuing to practice the "Purifying World Lotus" requires not the growth of the physique, but rather lacks some critical prop or medicine.

The methods of the Demonic Sect cannot be that simple.

No matter how much kindness and severity are applied, betrayal is inevitable...

Therefore, they must have some methods to control the Dharma Protector Deity General.

Or rather, to make them not dare to betray.

The most reasonable explanation is:

’I haven’t learned all of this cultivation technique, or I’m missing some critical aspect.’

’This, Tang Lin’er probably doesn’t know; he’s still circulating at the First Level, completely unaware of what the subsequent bottleneck might look like.’

With this thought in mind, Zhou Ping’an didn’t dwell on it; his current priority was to expand his achievements.

"There’s no time to lose, with this great opportunity for victory, the top tier of Baicao Hall has already lost its nerve... Might as well strike while the iron is hot and take Baicao Hall into our hands."

Zhou Ping’an was a decisive person.

Since he and Lin Huaiyu had openly shared their intentions and collaborated to fully promote the refinement of the "Seven-Colored Pill" and vie for a spot among the Inner Sect Disciples of Cloud Water Heavenly Sect, he naturally spared no effort.

Now was the time to push forward with vigor.

To take control of the entire Qingyang City medicinal market, and also to control many herbalists and alchemists at the lower level. Deploy people to search the mountains day and night, not fearing the inability to find the "Seven-leaf Tithonia" and Sunflame Flower.

’Every Sect, regarding some thresholds in superior Martial Arts, all keep it a deep secret, not even the closest of kin easily impart it.’

Even the Lin Clan of the county does not dare to pass down the Fundamental Method of [Condensing Energy into Qi] of the Sect; instead, they must find ways to have their children join the Sect.

Therefore, if I want to advance further, it would have to be another serendipitous coincidence, bordering on a joke, to seize a higher-level Martial Arts fundamental Heart Mantra from somewhere.

Otherwise, one must join a Sect to truly receive authentic teachings.’

Zhou Ping’an saw it very clearly.

Even Lin Huaiyu was not confident that relying on Wave Subduing Blade Force and Tidal Breath Technique to directly condense blood into pills and then cultivate Internal and External Strength Qi...

How could he, with no particular virtue or ability, create a martial art that breaks through to the heavens?

Mortal Rank Nine Refinements, the lower three refinements ’Muscles and Bones’, anyone from Jianghu who is determined and not afraid of hardship can eventually find a way to make some name for themselves.

The middle three refinements "Organs, Blood, and Marrow," are beyond the reach of ordinary bumpkins.

Either by joining the military, a Sect, or a renowned family, submitting to others, can one receive the lineage.

Facing the monopoly of cultivation techniques and the completely blocked upward channels, without joining, one cannot progress. It’s just the way it is.

Even if one joins, it doesn’t necessarily mean one can go far.

The only ones who can truly go through the upper three refinements "Pill, Mastery, and Intent," besides those born into prominent Sects or families, are those individuals who can be utilized and have exceptionally stunning talents.

These people then have a chance to be taken seriously and taught...

Generally speaking, the entry channel for the "upper three refinements" can almost be declared as "fate."

Originally, with Zhou Ping’an’s background and identity, no matter how much he struggled, it was impossible for him to obtain such an opportunity, and if he could, the price would inevitably be unbearable.

Lin Huaiyu here is an exception.

Helping her is helping myself, both of us supporting each other on the same path, concentrating our efforts without reservations.

Wholeheartedly refining the "Seven-Colored Pill."

To obtain the "Sword Codex of Canghai."

At that time, it would naturally be a case of God blocking, kill God; Buddha blocking, kill Buddha.

Whoever dared to destroy the chance to obtain opportunities and make progress was an irreconcilable mortal enemy.

Moreover, there is a secret that forced Zhou Ping’an to act in this way.

As per Lin Huaiyu’s own words:

"What we cultivate is the Slash Wave Subduing Blade Jin, once the path is formed, any change would be counterproductive.

Therefore, after the great achievement of the Five Organs Refinement, when condensing blood into qi and forming blood pills, it’s best not to be too casual.

Within the Sword Codex of Canghai, there is a method to convert blood pills into sword pills, refining blood qi into sword qi...

Once successful, the offensive power can be increased by several or even ten times, unmatched by ordinary methods.’"

Even not considering whether there will be a chance to witness the "Cloud Water Immortal Scripture" later, just the advantage of refining the sword pills and utilizing sword qi, sword mastery, is enough for both of them to exert all their efforts to compete.

The Jianghu is perilous, not a child’s play.

Who can guarantee a smooth life without illness or calamity?

Skills for self-defense and protection should naturally be as strong as possible.

"Send a signal, summon all Offerings and Protectors to action.

I will dismount and enter the city shortly, heading straight for Baicao Hall, first taking control of the back hall and storehouse..."

Racing back to the city in haste, he did not gallop through the streets to avoid giving anyone an excuse to cause trouble.

Zhou Ping’an’s thought was simple.

Anyone who has studied history knows that in warfare, there’s nothing ventured, nothing gained.

No matter the size of the battle, if after the fight it turns out to have been costly,

then it was a war not worth fighting.

Thus, at Baicao Hall, whether its senior leadership lives or dies aside, the mountain of herbs, wealth, and those pills as valuable as gold and silver, as well as those herbalists, alchemists, and even ordinary helpers, all are resources.

In other words, these can actually be considered as "means of production."

Only by taking control of both people and assets, can one truly dominate a force and eliminate any potential reversals.

At this time, the cultivation levels of each individual become apparent.

Zhou Ping’an and Lin Huaiyu were the swiftest, arriving first at Baicao Hall, which was already in chaos.

There were cries of wailing, and the sound of swords clashing occasionally echoed through the air.
