Su Yu broke through.

Yan Yan was controlling dozens of sword qi to clean the chicken coop for Su Yu. Hearing this, his sword qi faltered and he almost cut a little rooster in half.
The two junior brothers were shocked and stared at Su Yu, who had a ruddy face and seemed to have stars in her eyes.
Breakthrough...
Over the years, outsiders have ridiculed them for having an 'underachiever' and quirky senior sister. For this reason, who knows how often they had fought with outsiders and forced them to apologize? However, she had never appreciated them and regarded all of them, her junior brothers and sisters, as thorns in her eyes.
They had hoped that one day she would wake up and her cultivation could recover. But year after year, day after day, the situation only got worse.
To help her, their master and eldest senior brother read ancient books and went to dangerous secret realms, but they could not find a way to solve her cultivation problems.
"Sixth stage of Qi Refining?"

Wei Zhao was so excited that he forgot about his injury. He almost stood up in his wheelchair.
Yan Yan stiffened and could barely concentrate. He used spiritual energy to probe Su Yu, who was standing with her hands behind her back.
After one look, his voice, which had always been tough, was shaking.
"Sixth stage... No, Qi Refining at the seventh stage!"
Su Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh, so I'm at the seventh stage."
Wei Zhao: "!"
Her tone was flat and her expression was as if she was not surprised.
"What kind of elixir did Second Senior Sister refined for yourself?" Wei Zhao recalled how powerful her alchemy skills were now and faintly guessed this.
However, Su Yu shook her head, "No. I slept all night and I broke through when I woke up."
Wei Zhao: "...!"
Yan Yan: "..."
They could cultivate up to the Foundation Building level, so their talents were not bad. However, they had never met anyone who advanced by two stages in a row in the Qi Refining level. Could this be because her cultivation had been stagnant for a long time?
"Maybe it's because I've worked too hard for you guys recently and my dantian is tight, hey."
"???"
Su Yu looked inward at her dantian.
At this moment, the suspended five-element cauldron in her dantian had upgraded. Not only had the diameter expanded by two inches, even the colorful rays of light had become brighter.
It seemed that the more she cooked, the higher her cultivation would be.
Su Yu thought about it and waved her hands in front of the two shocked junior brothers.
"These are just small things. Don't worry about it. However, you have to speed up your cultivation. Otherwise, my cultivation may be higher than yours by the time of the competition."
Su Yu turned around to look at the chicken coop. She looked around and saw that the coop was now clean, free of filth and full of spiritual energy. Although the chickens were shivering a little, they were still fat. Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"Good job today..."
Yan Yan's ears were hot for a moment, but he didn't turn his head away, "I remembered something. I'll go back to the courtyard first."
He was extremely fast and his flying sword disappeared instantly.
Su Yu raised her eyebrows.
Wei Zhao smiled bitterly, "It seems like Sixth Junior Brother's heart demon is difficult to solve. It will take some time."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw another flying sword came over. A Qi Refining disciple was trembling and stumbling in front of them.
"Second Senior Sister, Sixth Senior Brother ordered me to ask you what you need. I will pass it to him."
"..."
---
Yan Yan stood in his room blankly. Shortly, he received a message carried by a flying sword.
[Sixth Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister said that these useless things could be sold in exchange for various fresh beasts' meat and other spiritual materials.]
Yan Yan raised his eyebrows, opened the cloth bag carried by the flying sword and was stunned for a moment.
He was very familiar with these nearly a dozen fancy dresses.
They were not useful, but they came from the Spirit Pavilion. It was said that they were made with the silk threads of a first-grade spirit silkworm. The clothes shined brightly. They could last for a hundred years. Each piece required a minimum of 5,000 spirit stones. She had cried and cried over the years, begging their master to buy it for her, one after another.
'She is selling all of them?'
Yan Yan clenched his fists and remembered what Fourth Senior Brother said before, "Sixth Junior Brother, Second Senior Sister has really changed these days. If you stay on the peak a little longer, you will come to appreciate her..."
He took a deep breath, took his sword and hurried towards the sect's exchange office.
---
Four days later, Lu Yizhou was still in self-retreat.
Wei Zhao was sitting in a wheelchair, watching Yan Yan use his sword qi to clean up the chicken coop with a dark expression, which also pleased his eyes. "Sixth Junior Brother, your sword intent seems to be a bit more refined. I think your skill has improved again."
Yan Yan held his breath, unable to stand the strong smell of chicken excrement around him.
After hearing this, his complexion became complicated. He had completely mastered the Dragon Scale Sword in the past few days. His Guiyi Swordsmanship had officially entered the second level. Not only had its power greatly increased, he also felt that if he could get new spirit swords for his sword art, he could control ten swords at once and maybe even eleven swords...
Therefore, he went to the exchange office yesterday to spend five hundred spirit stones to buy a cheap spirit sword of no rank.
"Third Senior Brother, it's time for me to go to Wanjian Mountain today."
Wei Zhao was stunned. "Are you going to train with the Heart Interrogation Sword Formation?"
Wanjian Mountain was one of the 108 peaks of Nanxun Academy. It had no disciples on it.
Eight sword cultivators in the Nascent Soul level guarded the mountain all year round. They were tasked to guard the eight sword arrays which lay within the Heart Interrogation Sword Formation.
Any disciple who could break through the first three sword arrays could enter Wanjian Valley and go to where the mighty sword energy was kept. They could then stay there for ten days. Within these ten days, they could observe the sword marks made by an Immortal Ascension level cultivator and comprehend the meaning of the sword. Some disciples, with good luck, would be able to ascend by a small degree when they wake up on the tenth day of meditation.
Yan Yan clenched his sword.
He also wanted to verify if his control of the sword had become stronger. Eldest Senior Brother said that once he deeply understood the Guiyi Swordsmanship, his sword heart would become purer.
Training with the Heart Interrogation Sword Formation is the best method of verification.
More than ten days ago, he relied on the blood-devouring sword technique to break through to the second array. But halfway through the third, he couldn't advance even an inch.
Can he do it with Guiyi Swordsmanship this time?
After he was able to break through the third sword array, then only would he decide whether he should continue the blood-devouring sword technique or revert to the Guiyi Swordsmanship.
"Yes." Yan Yan clenched his sword tightly, "Last chance this month."
After passing the third sword array, he could enter Wanjian Mountain for enlightenment. He could improve his strength as soon as possible before the big competition and uphold Zhiqiong Peak's qualification as a third-class peak!
Wei Zhao was immediately in awe. "Don't force yourself. Many disciples were injured in the sword formation. A small trauma is fine, but if your sword heart is damaged, it will hinder your future cultivation.
"En." Yan Yan pursed his lips tightly and nodded.
Just as they were about to turn around, a calm and beautiful voice came from behind them.
"Going to fight?"
Yan Yan suddenly stiffened.
"Good timing. I have a new finished product out of the pot." Su Yu said calmly.
Wei Zhao was surprised, "So fast?"
The sword on Yan Yan's waist trembled slightly.
Usually, sect refiners had to rest for 20 to 30 days after they refined a top quality work. Su Yu was only at the Qi Refining level. She lacked spiritual power and her spiritual consciousness was easily exhausted.
So how did she refine elixirs faster than those top-notched refiners?
He just spent 500 spirit stones to purchase a no-grade spirit sword. Is it going to be wasted? Yan Yan felt his dantian vibrate for a moment and he felt as if some of his blood was dripping.
He turned his head stiffly and saw Su Yu taking out a white porcelain bowl from her spatial storage bag.
Yan Yan: "?"
Su Yu lifted the lid of the bowl and a faint sweet smell wrapped in a fresh bamboo fragrance came into his nostrils.
Then he saw two red and two green small jade swords lying in the white porcelain bowl. They were only the size of his fingertips.
Four small swords?
Yan Yan's dantian shook like a gushing river and turbulent sea. It almost got him into trouble.
He quickly bit the tip of his tongue, calmed his mind and soon realized that these were not spirit swords. There was no cold light aura on the swords at all and they didn't look like attacking sword talismans.
Su Yu handed over the plate, "Take one type first, and then change to the other type after drinking water and rinsing your mouth."
Yan Yan was at a loss.
"Could this be what Yizhou said, an elixir especially made for comprehending Guiyi Swordsmanship?" Wei Zhao suddenly looked forward to it.
Yan Yan's forehead twitched.
His Third Senior Brother could really joke.
Even if she knew how to refine elixirs, she should not be able to create such an elixir.
Swordsmanship was different from Fourth Senior Brother's <Hundreds of Birds Facing the Phoenix>. Swordsmanship did not involve any spiritual beasts. Even consuming the inner core of spiritual beasts had no effect on swordsmanship.

Yan Yan frowned, but Su Yu had already taken out a pair of chopsticks from her bag and handed them to him.
"...?"
Yan Yan wanted to refuse. However, his third senior brother, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was looking at him expectantly as if this was normal.
"Take it while it's still hot, Sixth Junior Brother," Wei Zhao urged. "Oh right, Second Senior Sister. What is the name of this pill and is there any special way to take it?"
Yan Yan: "...?"
Su Yu put her hands behind her back and pondered for a moment.
The small red colored jade swords were actually sword-shaped hard candy made from the remaining Cloud Swallowing Demon Flowers. She made them this morning based on the principle of not wasting ingredients.
"The red colored one, you can put it in your mouth first, savor it for a while, and then chew it slowly."
The inside of the hard candy was the juice extracted from the Cloud Swallowing Demon Flowers. The outer layer tasted sour and sweet and the juice would burst out when bitten and had the fragrance of spring bamboo after rain.
"The green one, you can chew it directly and swallow it." The green candies were made because her hands were itchy to try new things. She used the newly acquired first-grade Velvet Wistful Grass and a little spirit rice paste. The stuffing was made with some tail meat of a first-grade giant-tailed scorpion. After it was chewed open, the crispy dough would be wrapped in a delicious, fresh mountain-like flavor.
The Velvet Wistful Grass could grow about 30 feet tall. Its main branch had obvious horizontal edges. If cultivators were not paying attention, the grass would attack by dividing dozens of branches to pierce their dantian. However, its juice was very fragrant with a gentle sweetness. It was like a breeze in early spring that Su Yu liked very much.
The giant-tailed scorpion lived up to its name. Its tail was golden and very ferocious when stabbing. The flesh of the tail was firm and full, which was the main feature. It was elastic and full of umami taste in the mouth.
The fresh ingredients used in these two types of candies revolved around the themes of 'sword' and 'spring'. Full consideration was given with regards to appearance, color, shape and taste layers in creating these candies.
After making these candies, Su Yu's five-element cauldron did not change much. Nonetheless, it helped to condense the candies into the size of a finger.
It could be said that the color, fragrance, shape and quality were all excellent. The person eating these candies could feel a spring breeze, enjoy the taste and appreciate their elegant appearance.
In addition, the finished product was small and easy to carry.
Su Yu was very satisfied with it.
She thought about the effects of these candies and looked at Yan Yan with expectation.
"Wait, Sixth Junior Brother," Wei Zhao stopped him at the critical moment, "I thought about it. You should go to the Heart Interrogation Sword Formation and consume these pills there. This is a safety measure just in case after you take it, your sword qi overflows and your sword moves suddenly explode, which can easily hurt you or other disciples in our peak."
Yan Yan: "???"
