I Have A Martial Dao World

Ten miles away from Jin Garden, an elder and a youth, both martial artists, were walking briskly.

The elder, approaching his sixties, wore patched training clothes and moved with agile steps;

a young man carrying a gift box followed closely at his side.

The young man was strapping and nimble, asking curiously as they walked, "The Liao Family Fist seems so imposing—Grandfather even has to personally pay a visit despite being in the Marrow-Cleansing Realm."

Without slowing down, the elder replied as he strode ahead:

"It's because the Liao Family Fist has a person who has achieved Spirit Refinement of Divine Fetal Breathing. We've come to Yunzhou to open a martial arts school, and it's proper to greet them upon our arrival to show respect."

"Spirit Refinement of Divine Fetal Breathing!?" The youth weighed the light gift box in his hand with some hesitation. "Grandfather, isn't this gift a bit too modest?"

The elder laughed and said, "How would they care about such trifles from us? Delivering an invitation is about showing attitude, not about how substantial the gift is."

The young man nodded, half understanding.

The elder continued, "This Spirit Refining Expert surnamed Lu has always been low-key, never socializing, only knowing the hardships of dedicated practice.

That is precisely the model for us martial artists to follow! Remember, it's only through diligent study and practice that one can reach the pinnacle of the martial path—you should learn from him."

The youth replied perfunctorily, not fully convinced.

The martial artists walked fast, and it didn't take long to cover the distance of ten miles.

~~~~~~~~

At the entrance of Jin Garden, the elder took a deep breath and called out in a loud voice, "Arm-Through Boxing practitioner Jiang Daming, pays a special visit!"

Not long after, a young girl with sweat still on her temples came out to greet them—it was Suerya.

Suerya's face was flushed and she was slightly out of breath, clearly having just finished practicing her boxing.

Jiang Daming was not at all displeased at being received by a little girl, and quickly stepped forward with a fist salute, "I have disturbed Miss Su's practice. I am Arm-Through Boxing—Jiang Daming! My family's martial arts gym will open on the sixth of next month, and I have come to meet Young Master Lu."

Having said that, he respectfully handed over the invitation letter.

Suerya accepted it adeptly and also offered a fist salute. "My teacher-uncle is in seclusion. I will make sure to pass on the message promptly."

"Thank you, Miss Su, for conveying regards on our behalf." Jiang Chuancai quickly pulled the youth at his side and introduced him:

"This is my son, Jiang Shouyun. He's 16 and has achieved Great Perfection in Bone-Tempering. I hope the young lady will give him more guidance in the future!"

Jiang Shouyun saluted formally, and Suerya just nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

~~~~~~~~~~

Having paid their respects, the elder and the youth made their way back.

On the return journey, Jiang Shouyun muttered to himself: The girl doesn't know proper etiquette… just a nod in response.

Jiang Daming exclaimed reflectively, "The young lady has reached Great Perfection in Bone-Tempering and is about to start Organ Refining!"

Jiang Shouyun startled, then sourly remarked, "It's normal with a Spirit Refining Expert to watch over her."

"That's still remarkable," Jiang Daming sighed, "Do you know how old the girl is?"

Jiang Shouyun recalled Suerya's stature and appearance and guessed, "Nearly 1.6 meters tall, she must be about fourteen or fifteen?"

Jiang Daming shook his head, "She may look tall, but she's not even twelve yet, just a few months shy."

"What!?" Jiang Shouyun was instantly stupefied, "She's over three years younger than me…and close to Organ Refining… Organ Refining at twelve!"

Jiang Daming said, "Exactly. Don't always think so highly of yourself. In the presence of the world's talents, your abilities hardly count for anything. Casting pride aside, practicing diligently—that's what truly matters!"

This time, Jiang Shouyun lowered his head, clearly taking the words to heart.

Walking back with a sullen head, he noticed the sounds of sheep bleating by the river, mixed with the calls of cows and pigs; it turned out that many farmers were herding their animals.

Jiang Shouyun asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why are the pigs, cows, and sheep all gathered together?"

No sooner had he spoken than the sound of blades slicing through the air was heard. Three shadows swooped down like lightning, each snatching up a livestock animal before flying away.

```

"Fuck! A Marrow-Cleansing Realm demonic beast..." Jiang Shouyun was so terrified that he couldn't help shouting out loud!

His old home was on the Western Border, where one could occasionally see monster beasts, so he was well aware of their ferocity.

Jiang Daming slapped his son on the head and barked,

"Don't make a fuss, that's a Spirit Bird raised by Great Master Lu. Look, even the farmers are watching fearlessly; clearly, they're herding livestock for the Spirit Sparrowhawk to eat."

Indeed, the farmers not only showed no fear, but their faces were even filled with joy. If the Spiritual Sparrowhawk ate their livestock, they could go to the city to collect money from the textile factory.

The textile factory had been set up by the eunuch Zhang Jin, who also looked after all sorts of chores in Jin Garden. Cleaning, pruning flowers and plants, and providing blood meals for the Spirit Birds were all part of the job.

Jiang Shouyun, watching the majestic Spiritual Sparrowhawk soaring through the sky, was full of envy, "When can I keep one of these?"

"Once you've completed the Blood-Exchange, naturally you can keep one," Jiang Daming set a deceiving goal to fool his son.

He knew well that even someone in the Blood-Exchange Realm couldn't afford a Spirit Bird, but that didn't stop him from using it as a direction for effort!

Inside Jin Garden

Su Er'ya threw the invitation she had just received into the basket. It was almost full, all with all sorts of invitations.

Although Lu Yao didn't like to show his face, sometimes people would still come to pay a visit out of politeness, and most of them were handled by the Liao Family Sisters and Su Er'ya.

The young girl practiced boxing for a while, then figured it was time for her uncle master to rest, so she took a newspaper and headed to the back house.

Three Spiritual Sparrowhawks perched on a Wutong tree over 20 meters tall grooming their feathers and digesting their food, gave Su Er'ya an unfriendly stare as she approached.

Then, with disdain, they turned their backs and dropped a pile of droppings.

Su Er'ya was infuriated.

The three despicable creatures had divided the household into ranks—Lu Yao and several close women had the highest status; then came the three of them;

As for Su Er'ya, she was at the bottom of the hierarchy!

The Sparrowhawks would occasionally bully her, but after being scolded by Lu Yao, they switched to disdain and contempt.

With determination, Su Er'ya thought, "Once my Divine Skills reach Great Perfection, I will show you three a lesson!"

She arrived at the pavilion with the newspaper in hand, and her uncle master was indeed resting.

~~~~~~~~~

"Practicing martial arts is indeed like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat."

At this moment, Lu Yao sat in the pavilion full of emotion.

He had slacked off a bit recently. He went back to Blue Star and played for three days without proper practice, then after coming back, he got caught up in the Star Key and was even obsessed with picking up girls to play with.

As a result, his progress on the Martial Path immediately stalled, and it took a hard week of practice to recover.

But there was good news—the Star Key was charged up to 23%.

"Uncle master, today's newspaper," Su Er'ya sweetly smiled as she delivered the paper.

Lu Yao gratefully accepted it. Adequate nutrition and exercise had made the young girl grow taller quickly; she had grown taller again after just a few days.

However, those who practice martial arts can't really be short; height is just an incidental product of evolution.

At that moment, the young girl suddenly started scratching her shoulder vigorously.

Lu Yao knew that the young girl was close to Organ Refining and reminded her, "The itchy days are still ahead; you have to get through this step on your own to truly understand that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitterness of winter. By the way, did you get the color ultrasound instrument?"

Su Er'ya obediently nodded, "Master gave it to me, I use it to check every day."

Lu Yao then put his hand on the young girl's wrist for Inner Vision and nodded with satisfaction, "Your foundation is solid. This is like the water overflowing when it's full, the natural progression of a breakthrough. I congratulate you in advance—Little Master Su~"

Su Er'ya grinned broadly with joy.

Unknowingly, a 12-year-old Organ Refiner was about to emerge.
