After digesting all the knowledge in the memories of the ‘Alchemy God’, Lou Qianxue flexed her head and left the Mountain River Space. She stood up and moved her body around. The corners of her mouth lifted, and a faint smile appeared on her beautiful and pale face.

“Indeed, the Mountain River Space is extraordinary. I have trained for a total of ten days inside, yet, only a day passed in the real world. Within one day, I have experienced earth-shaking changes! What a divine object!” After praising it, Lou Qianxue made up her mind.

“With the assistance of such a divine object, I must also train harder and rise above the rest. Only then, will I not let down this inheritance from the Lou Family of Mountain River.”

After training for ten consecutive days, Lou Qianxue’s mind was in a tense state. Now that she had relaxed, she felt a bit tired. So, she immediately decided to rest for one night.

The next day arrived. Lou Qianxue, who had just woken up her sleep, pushed the door open. Facing the morning sunlight, she stretched her body. “It’s a new day again. How great!”

Today, she decided to return the [Mountain Splitting Fist] back to the bookstore, and then she would take a look at the Alchemy Union. Previously, she had heard that the president of the Alchemy Union was accepting disciplines. But back then, she had not been interested. Yet, now that she had the memories of the ‘Alchemy God’, it would be an utter waste to not become an alchemist. Hence, she had decided to take a look.

When she walked out of the courtyard, on the way, she met quite a few servants from the city lord’s mansion.

Surprisingly, those people did not ignore her as they usually would. This time, when they saw her, they looked at her with a weird gaze. There were still some people who gathered together and discussed something in a low tone.

Lou Qianxue’s eyebrows raised, and she went closer.

“…I don’t know when she started training, but she’s in the third level of the spiritual realm now… What’s more impressive is that despite only being in the third level, she defeated Lou Waizhong, who is in the fifth level of the spiritual realm. That too, with a single punch!”

“Yeah… Ninth Elder even said that her Mountain Splitting Fist was already in Greater Mastery… How unbelievable! In the entire city lord mansion and amongst the entire younger generation, Miss Xingchen was the only one who had cultivated the Mountain Splitting Fist to Greater Mastery. Miss Qianxue is still two years younger than her, yet she does not pale in comparison, at all…”

Amazement and praise were apparent in their voices. But after hearing two sentences, Lou Qianxue became uninterested. She directly ignored them and went to the bookstore.

She reached the outside of the bookstore very quickly.

She was about to enter when suddenly—

“Lou Qianxue, stand right there!”

A stern and forceful yell came from behind. The voice seemed a bit familiar…

While Lou Qianxue thought about it, she walked forward.

She had not even taken two steps when, with a ‘woosh’ sound, a gleaming sword light blocked her body. The position of the sword was precarious.

Lou Qianxue’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she looked at the person. The girl who had stopped her was wearing a long blue skirt; her long hair was tied up high into a simple ponytail. She was not extremely pretty, yet her features were deep, and she looked a bit heroic.

Lou Qianxue had a realization. “Lou Xiaoxiao!”

She was Lou Waizhong’s elder sister. She was in the seventh level of the spiritual realm. But unlike her younger brother, who was only impressive on the surface and useless in reality, Lou Xiaoxiao was obsessed with martial arts. In order to train, she did not even marry. She was considered an eccentric woman in the entirety of Qingyun city.

“Lou Qianxue.” She pointed the sword at Lou Qianxue with an unfriendly expression. “You dare to snap the tendons in my younger brother’s hand. Today, I must seek justice for my brother!”

“I don’t like it when someone points a sword at me.” Lou Qianxue reached her hand out with an indifferent expression. Pinching the blade of the sword, she moved Lou Xiaoxiao’s longsword away from her eyes.

Afterward, her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked at Lou Xiaoxiao in confusion. “What are you talking about? Snapped Lou Waizhong’s tendons? Did you look for the wrong person? It’s true that I fought with Lou Waizhong, but I did not touch his tendons.”

“If not you, then who else can it be? I have already clarified it. Only you and the Ninth Elder hit Little Zhong. Ninth Elder just punched him, and it’s impossible that it would hurt Little Zhong’s tendon. Only you used the Mountain Splitting Fist…” Anger was brewing in Lou Xiaoxiao. However, she suppressed her fury forcefully and tried to talk to Lou Qianxue in a logical manner.

Upon hearing that, Lou Qianxue’s expression became subtle. “Wait a moment… Lou Waizhong did not tell you these, right? Where did you hear it from?”
