The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 4: Exercise II

The next day, Yang Jian repeated his training with maximum condition thanks to the potion that Xiao Ming had given him and also enough rest, this time he was able to run up and down the hill twice in a row at sunset, his second workout also increasing from thirty minutes to forty minutes.

The more days Yang Jian's physical development got stronger, he also never complained.

For a whole month Yang Jian did his exercises, now he did not look troubled anymore. He was able to run up and down the hill in an hour. Every day Yang Jian did it many times until sunset, then the night he continued his practice by soaking under the waterfall, he was able to do it up to 5 hours. His skin and bones looked harder than before training. His muscles also began to form and harden.

Tonight Yang Jian was immersed in a bathtub filled with warm water that had been mixed with bone-boosting herbs. It was aimed at forging Yang Jian's bones to be as hard as steel.

"Jian'er are you done?" Xiao Ming spoke from behind the bathroom door

"Come to dinner with dad, I've cooked your favorite roast." Xiao Ming cried.

"Okay dad, I'll be here soon." Yang Jian then took out a towel to flick his body and put on his clothes. He went to the dining room, where Xiao ming was seen arranging his cooking.

After he finished eating Xiao Ming gave a book containing high-level swordsmanship

"This is the swordsmanship that father created himself, his name is 'the sky dragon sword'. "

Xiao Ming explained that the book contains 15 parts, where from level 1 to 15 the difficulty level will be higher. Xiao Ming was a swordsman, so he was more inclined to lower his sword talent to Yang Jian. But he also taught Yang Jian bare-handed science, medicinal herb making techniques and some of his other sciences.

"Remember Jian'er, this science is not an arbitrary science so be careful when using it and do not pass this knowledge on to anyone before you find the right successor." Xiao Ming said firmly.

Yang Jian was a genius child, although he was seven years old but he could already write and read. At first Xiao Ming was hard to believe, but considering their unusual first encounter even the ring Yang Jian wore had been examined by Xiao Ming to contain a large number of treasures, the luxurious clothes as well as the towering gold coins, as well as something that became the necklace pendant that Xiao Ming was wearing that seemed mysterious enough to explain that Yang Jian was not an arbitrary child.

Therefore, Xiao Ming gave the book to study Yang Jian to facilitate his training.

Yang Jian according to, he had already impatiently mastered the 'sky dragon sword' technique, because Yang Jian often saw his father practicing the sword, according to him it was something admirable.

Today Yang Jian decided to go hunting into the forest within the valley, he wanted to try his sword technique by finding his true opponent.

" Heaven.hiat..." Yang Jian slashed the back of a cat demon using the wooden sword that Xiao Ming had given him as a reward for passing mastering the first part of the 'sky dragon sword' technique.

The sword that Yang Jian used was a medium-level warior sword. For every weapon or heirloom has a level, ranging from ordinary weapons, warior heirlooms, earth heirlooms, and heavenly heirlooms. In each level there are three stages, namely, the initial stage, the intermediate stage, and the final stage.

With one full slash at the neck of the demon Yang Jian was finally able to kill him.

"Ah..this is great." Yang Jian muttered softly as he retrieved the small-sized white crystal from within the demon body he killed, those demon crystals were an extremely valuable resource for cultivators to improve practices.

There was a tremendous sensation that emerged from within him for finally killing the demon that almost took his life when he first set foot in the Valley of Hell even though it was not the same demon.

" It turned out that father's swordsmanship was truly extraordinary." emerging from Yang Jian's smallest heart a feeling of respect and admiration for Xiao Ming. Yang Jian was aware, he was able to kill the demon thanks to the swordsmanship he mastered.

" This is only the first part, how the second and the next? Ah.. I can't wait to master her whole thing." Yang Jian spoke while smiling faintly.

It did not feel like the day was approaching, Yang Jian decided to go home with the results of his quarry, there were about ten crystals that he got today.

Not far from where he stood there was someone who was watching him, suddenly Yang Jian turned his head towards the west because he felt like someone was watching but saw nothing, he then walked home with a happy face.

It turned out that Xiao Ming was watching over Yang Jian during the hunt, he was worried that if Yang Jian met a thousand-year-old demon or even a demon king and queen, Yang Jian would already be made sure he would not be able to escape.

To the day that Yang Jian decided to return to hunting, he wanted to collect even more demon crystals after hearing from his father that the crystals could be sold at a very high value.

This time Yang Jian was faced with a hundred year old red tiger, every sword move Yang Jian was agile, purposeful and hard to guess. He pierced the tiger's body with all his might until the end of his kill, he smiled as he watched his prey die horribly with wounds all over the body.

'Grrrrr.' Yang Jian had not taken the crystal, four other red tigers appeared because they smelled blood.

Yang Jian jumped up, he attacked the four red tigers alternately and gave a stab at the same wound, the tiger claw hitting Yang Jian's arm but not too deep.

After a long while Yang Jian was finally able to kill all four of the demons, he picked up his crystal. The tiger crystal was larger than the crystal before him.

"Big harvest." muttered Yang Jian with a big smile.

Yang Jian then continued his hunt until the day leading up to night, the wound on his arm did not dampen Yang Jian's intention to continue the hunt, instead, after that he decided to return to the residence to show his big catch to the father.
