　　“There is true meaning in the fist！”
　　On the grandstand where the cultivators of Youyun Tian were located, after seeing Xu Taiping’s punch, the Martial God Zhu Huai stood up from his seat.
　　Although their group arrived at the grandstand of Qilin Peak after the competition had already started.
　　Fortunately, they just happened to encounter this sword challenge between Bai Di and Xu Taiping.
　　“Does the fist really have true meaning？”
Although the Third Prince Chu Yinan beside him was also equally surprised by the power of Xu Taiping’s previous punch, he did not have the eyesight of the old Martial God Zhu Huai and did not know why Xu Taiping, who had almost exhausted all his qi and blood, could still use such a powerful punch.
　　So he asked the old Martial God Zhu Huai curiously：
　　“Old Zhu, what is true meaning in boxing？”
　　The old Martial God Zhu Huai, with his eyes firmly fixed on the spiritual mirror in front of him, explained to the Third Prince Chu Yinan beside him without looking back：
“Just like boxing techniques, dao techniques, saber techniques, and sword techniques, when a cultivator breaks through to the Transcendent Realm and becomes a cultivator, he can understand true meaning from the boxing techniques he practices.
　　“Just like Chu Ping’an’s previous punch.”
　　“Although the strength of his qi and blood was almost exhausted, once there was true intention in his boxing technique, even if there was only a trace of qi and blood left, this punch of his could still unleash the power of his prime.”
Although Zhu Huai’s explanation had clarified ed Chu Yinan a lot he still had doubts in his heart about Xu Taiping’s punch just now.
　　So he continued to ask Zhu Huai：
　　“But, Elder Zhu, the power of Chu Ping’an’s punch just now has obviously exceeded that of when the strength of his qi and blood was at its peak.”
　　Zhu Huai nodded in agreement and said： “That’s right.”
　　Zhu　Huai　continued：
　　“The true intention in Chu Ping’an’s boxing technique is very likely to be the extremely rare kind that is soft when encountering water and hard when encountering iron.”
　　In simple terms, this kind of true intention is not weak when encountering the weak, and stronger when encountering the strong.
　　It can exert combat power beyond one’s own at the cost of very little true yuan and qi and blood power.
After hearing this, Chu Yinan’s complexion was extremely solemn and he said:
“If this is really the case, this Chu Ping’an is afraid going to shine brightly in this Sword Champion Conference.”
　　Zhu Huai shook his head and said：
　　“This kind of true intention often consumes a great deal of the soul power of the person who Cast s the true intention.”
Therefore, unless his soul power is extremely deep and far exceeds that of cultivators of the same level, otherwise, unless it is like this moment, when it comes to a life-and-death crisis, he will Cast it.”
　　When Chu Yinan heard this, his originally tense expression visibly relaxed a lot.
　　He nodded and said：
This Chu Ping’an should have just broken through to the Huajing realm not long ago. Unless his soul realm reached above the twelfth level before entering the Huajing realm, his soul power couldn’t be very thick.
　　Zhu Huai smiled and shook his head, saying：
　　The Lianshen realm is indeed a good time to improve the soul power, but it is almost impossible to break through the twelfth level of the soul realm of the primordial spirit.
　　Chu Yinan nodded and said：
also thanks to the Mysterious Wilderness Tower to break through to the tenth level of the Lianshen realm.
　　Now looking at the entire Shangqing Realm, among the young generation of cultivators, the only one who has broken through the twelfth level is that Rusty Lion Young Master who reached the top of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower.
　　When saying these words, Chu Yinan’s gaze once again fell on that Chu Ping’an in the spiritual mirror.
　　……
　　Qilin Peak, Sword Flat.
　　Sizzle…
　　Hoo…
　　Xu Taiping, whose qi and blood were almost consumed to the limit, slowly stood up and took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
　　And just as he inhaled and exhaled, his Furnace Forging Body Art automatically operated, and the internal organs in his body instantly transformed the breath of air he inhaled into qi and blood power.
　　The Furnace Body Tempering Art, apart from enabling cultivators to use their own physical bodies as furnaces to forge immortal weapons, and even divine weapons, its most powerful aspect is still its ability to refine qi and blood.
　　Just like just now.
　　If it were in the past, at least nine-tenths of the breath that Xu Taiping inhaled into his body would have to be exhaled as turbid qi, and only one-tenth would be refined into true essence by the Cloud Riding Scripture that automatically operated in his body.
　　But after cultivating this Furnace Body Tempering Art, Xu Taiping’s internal organs, and even his flesh, blood, and bones, can consume qi and refine blood.
　　So in the end, apart from one-tenth of this breath being refined into spiritual power, three-tenths was refined into qi and blood by Xu Taiping’s physical body.
　　Of course, after cultivating the Furnace Body Tempering Art, the quickest way for Xu Taiping to obtain qi and blood power is to eat.
　　Now, even if he eats poison into his stomach like a furnace, he can still squeeze out a bit of blood qi.
　　If what he eats is flesh and blood, it will all be refined into Xu Taiping’s qi and blood and integrated into his blood vessels, muscles, and bones.
　　If what he eats is a magic weapon like an immortal weapon, apart from most of it being refined into qi and blood power, a small part will also be refined into pure true essence and sent into the dantian qi mansion.
　　However, the current situation is far from the time for Xu Taiping to use such means.
　　“Boom！ ……”
　　Almost at the same time that Xu Taiping stood up straight, the sword domain of Bai Di that he had pierced through suddenly burst open entirely.
　　However, Bai Di, whose small half of the body was punched through by Xu Taiping, took advantage of the time when Xu Taiping was restoring his qi and blood to forcibly use his body skills to widen the distance between him and Xu Taiping.
　　“Still　alive　actually.”
　　Xu Taiping looked at Bai Di with some surprise.
　　At this moment, Bai Di was gathering a large amount of true yuan to repair his body that had been pierced through half by Xu Taiping.
　　Looking from a distance, with countless halo-like filaments swirling around his body, he was like a huge silkworm chrysalis.
　　Xu Taiping said in surprise：
　　“Could this be the Heavenly Silkworm Mysterious Skill that can quickly repair the injuries on the body？”
　　He didn’t expect that while Bai Di cultivated swordsmanship, he also cultivated such an abstruse spell.
　　Although the Heavenly Silkworm Mysterious Skill is not the unique secret skill of a certain sect, it is also an extremely excellent immortal-level spell, and it is very complicated to cultivate.
　　“Bang！ ……”
　　Just at this moment, the huge “silkworm cocoon” that wrapped Bai Di suddenly burst open.
　　The　next　moment.
　　Bai Di, with the upper half of his shirt torn, appeared in the sight of everyone with his body intact as before.
　　Subsequently, it was seen that Bai Di, holding a long sword in his hand, stepped towards Xu Taiping while slightly raising the corner of his mouth and said：
　　“I really didn’t expect that you, a casual cultivator, actually cultivated the true meaning of boxing.”
　　Xu Taiping clenched his fist, adjusted his standing posture, and then looked at Bai Di’s gaze calmly and said：
　　“Likewise.”
　　As they were speaking, the distance between Bai Di and him had been reduced to only about ten zhang.
　　For a sword cultivator, this is the best distance to draw the sword.
　　Even though Bai Di’s true essence in his body had been exhausted at this moment, with his body skills and swordsmanship, he was still more than enough to use the sword in his hand to seal Xu Taiping’s throat with one sword.
Bai Di smiled at Xu Taiping, then slowly raised his arm, assumed the posture of drawing the sword, and pointed the cold and sharp sword of the long sword in his hand at Xu Taiping.
　　After doing all this, he then said：
　　“To tell you the truth, my true essence has been almost completely consumed when repairing this body.”
　　When he said this, Bai Di paused for a moment, and then looked at Xu Taiping with full confidence in his eyes and said：
　　“But it is still more than enough to kill a warrior whose qi and blood and divine essence have been completely consumed.”
When saying these words, the long sword in Bai Di’s hand, as if sensing the murderous intent of its master emitted bursts of sharp sword chirping sounds.
　　At the same time, an invisible pressure spread out from Bai Di once again.
　　However, to Xu Taiping’s surprise, Bai Di did not immediately draw his sword, but instead warned him：
　　Chu Ping’an, your cultivation base is not easy to come by.
　　If you don’t want to die here, then admit defeat yourself！
