Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows and took out [Mountain Splitting Fist]. She stretched her hand out and waved it. “Wait for me to return this rare book, then we’ll talk again.”

She finished talking and did not wait for Lou Xiaoxiao to reject her. She entered the bookstore, while Lou Xiaoxiao froze for a while. Her face had an extremely bad expression. “Lou Qianxue, are you delaying time again and playing tricks?”

After saying those words, she followed her.

The rest of the people exchanged glances with one another. They did not dare to follow in and watch.

However, a short while later after Lou Qianxue and Lou Xiaoxiao went inside the bookstore, someone suddenly reacted. “The rare book that Lou Qianxue was holding on to just now was the [Mountain Splitting Fist]?”

“How is it possible? Isn’t her [Mountain Splitting Fist] at the Greater Mastery realm? Why is she still looking at the [Mountain Splitting Fist]?”

The audience remained puzzled even after pondering over it.

...

In the bookstore!

After Lou Xiaoxiao spent some time chasing after her, she furiously shouted, “Lou Qianxue, say it quick! What transaction exactly?”

She had just opened her mouth when the old man guarding the entrance fiercely stared at her. “Shut up! If you create an uproar here again, you can get lost!”

“... ” Lou Xiaoxiao felt a tinge of fear flashing past her eyes. Her face blushed at the scolding. However, she dared not to say anything further and could only shut her mouth.

Thereafter, she saw the old man smile widely at Lou Qianxue, who was standing in front of him and returning the rare book. Moreover, his voice seemed to be much gentler. “Miss Qianxue, I heard that you have already cultivated the [Mountain Splitting Fist] to the Greater Mastery realm?”

Lou Qianxue blinked her eyes. “So, even you, the shop elder, have heard about it. How fast has yesterday’s matter spread... ”

“Miss Qianxue, is this real?” The old man guarding the pavilion no longer remained unpredictable and did not obscure. He expectantly looked at Lou Qianxue.

Lou Xiaoxiao, who was at the side, was somewhat unconvinced. What was wrong with this mysterious old man, who guarded the pavilion? On what basis was his attitude so bad towards her, who was in the seventh level of the spiritual realm? Why was he so concerned about Lou Qianxue, that little ant in the third level of the spiritual realm?

“Yes!” Lou Qianxue nodded. “My Mountain Splitting Fist has indeed reached the Greater Mastery realm.”

Just when Lou Xiaoxiao was letting her imagination run wild, Lou Qianxue replied to the old man.

In the next moment!

Boom!

The old man guarding the pavilion fiercely stood up, and even the stool behind him toppled. He stared until both his eyes became round. As his old face was too agitated, his expression was somewhat distorted. Even his voice went out of tune. “But, I remember that Miss Qianxue, y-you just took away the [Mountain Splitting Fist] the night before... Could it be, could it be that yesterday, you had cultivated the Mountain Splitting Fist to the Greater Mastery realm? In just one day?”

As the old man who guarded the pavilion spoke, both his hands tightened into fists. His veins swelled, and he had become so agitated that both his hands, and even his body, started trembling.

Mountain Splitting Fist was the city lord mansion’s most impressive rare martial arts book. Cultivating to the Greater Mastery realm within one day? What kind of demonic talent was this!

When Lou Xiaoxiao, who was at the side, heard these words, her eyes nearly popped out. She just fiercely stared at them. In an instant, she even started doubting herself for hearing wrongly.

... Cultivating Mountain Splitting Fist to the Greater Mastery realm within one day?

These words were so shocking that she almost shouted. But she managed to cover her big, open mouth very quickly and vigorously gasped.

Is this real or fake? Is this boasting? How is it possible for someone to do it?

Lou Qianxue was somewhat embarrassed as she touched her nose. Actually, she had not cultivated it in one day. Rather, she had taken five days. However, she absolutely could not tell anyone about the secret of the Mountain River Space. Hence, she did not elaborate and nodded. “It can be considered as so.”

“Then you... I remember that you seemed to have only cultivated your elementary force yesterday night? Could it be that your third level of the spiritual realm was also... within a day... ” After the old man who guarded the pavilion finished asking, he shook his head firmly.

He secretly said it in his heart, “This is simply impossible. Martial arts require talent. However, cultivation requires accumulation.” Even if he was beaten to death, he would not still believe that someone could just go from gathering elementary force to cultivating until the third level of the spiritual realm in one day!
