Chapter 307 - Directing Qi into the Body

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The party stayed at Honesty Sect. Due to the immortal vein, Honesty Sect which was at first falling into the lower tier leaped to become the sect with the thickest spiritual qi in the Upper Azure World. Immortal qi was the thicker version of spiritual qi, and even a small broken part of the vein was a hundred times stronger than ordinary spiritual veins. The cherry blossoms over the mountain, being mortal plants, could not stand the thickness of spiritual qi, and died visibly. Spiritual plants instead flourished all around.

Perhaps a coincidence, the peak that they lived on was called Flute-less Peak, and for convenience’s sake, Lonemoon just changed it to Invincible Peak. flute-less is a homophone of Invincible in Chinese Perhaps Lonemoon felt that his esteem as a leader was hurt by joining a poor sect by mistake, he didn’t return for days after dragging Lou Hong off to check accounts the other day. The whole sect suddenly became busy, too. Lower-level disciples who rushed around could often be seen.

The most free of all was the master and disciple on top of Invincible Peak. Shen Ying started to live a good life of eating and sleeping and eating again, releasing herself completely. Until Father Niu finally remembered his reason for coming to the lower realm and returned.

“In these few days, I have been gathering information around this area,” Lonemoon said with a dark expression, “The Azure World is different now from the past. It has become much thinner.” No wonder that despite Spirit Qi was being depleted at Honesty Sect, it still had thousands of disciples. “Since we left last time, millions of years had already past. The Four Great Clans have also long ceased to exist.” He sighed with a feeling of vicissitudes.

“Oh,” answered Shen Ying, not having as much feelings as him. She had known it since she saw the long worm.

“I think the decrease of Spirit Qi should be due to Azure World becoming a world on its own.” Lonemoon guessed. This used to be a secret immortal space, and one nurtured by the immortal veins, that’s why it produced so many Soul Formation cultivators and itinerant cultivators. Yet since Azure World became one of the 3,000 realms, all the Spirit Qi relied on natural nurturing of heaven and earth, and it was only natural that it thinned down. You win some and you lose some! It seemed that for those from Azure World to achieve Immortal Ascension, it would become more than a hundred times more difficult afterwards.

“Oh.” Shen Ying kept chewing on a piece of pastry.

“The half of the immortal veins that I planted just now are likely to start getting assimilated slowly, so it won’t last long.” Lonemoon said seriously. “That’s why we have to let Chef cultiva- eh? How is he still a mortal!” Before he finished, his glance fell on Yi Qing who was holding a plate at the side. He burst out in anger instantly.

“Ah?” Shen Ying stopped short.

“What ‘ah’!” Lonemoon grabbed the pastry, “Didn’t I pass to you the jade slip of basic cultivation and let you teach him? What have you been doing all these days? Shouldn’t you teach him to direct qi into the body at least! It has been almost half a month and he doesn’t even have Qi Refinement.”

“That’s so troublesome…”

“What troublesome!” You are just lazy, that’s all.

“Father Niu!” Shen Ying suddenly asked, with a serious look on her face, “Are you sure you want me to teach?”

“Dang…” He stopped halfway through the sentence, and the image of a row of metallic Barbies appeared in his head. His mouth twitched.

“I will teach!” He gnashed his teeth.

For heaven’s sake, if Yi Qing really became a body cultivator, he would disband Invincible Sect after he goes back!

“Chef, sit down cross-legged!” He turned to look at Yi Qing.

Yi Qing was stunned and subconsciously looked towards Shen Ying. Only after seeing that she did not oppose, did he put down the pastry in his hand and turn to sit down at the side.

Very good, task reassignment completed!

“After you’ve felt the Spirit Qi, direct it in this way.” Lonemoon pointed to the center of his forehead, and a hint of Spirit Qi flowed through his meridians for one round. Just as he was about to pull it back, a great amount of Spirit Qi suddenly rushed into Yi Qing’s body, directly squeezing out the Spirit Qi that he had not had time to pull pack. And his cultivation went right up, from Qi Refinement first level, second level, all the way until Qi Refinement third level before it stopped.

“Holy **!” Lonemoon was shocked. Qi Refinement had always been fast, but this was a bit too fast: the ordinary man takes if not one or two years, then at least one or two months to reach the third level. Yet he had been doing it for less than ten seconds. “What happened?” He looked up at the person beside him.

“He’s Chef.” said Shen Ying. She looked as if what happened was only natural.

“Of course I know that…” He stopped short and widened his eyes. “Are you not going to say that besides his body, even his cultivation remained the same?” Chef belonged to the divine race whose original cultivation level was the divine level. His body was special and could not bear too much cultivation. And he looked like a mortal previously because of the lack of Spirit Qi, which means that… once the he had the Spirit Qi, he could rise back to his original level without any practice at all.

“That’s right!”

“…” Motherf*cker!

These hateful privileged people!

Yi Qing looked at his own little hands with a sense of curiosity and his eyes brightened. A kid after all, he turned to look at Shen Ying, and his face full of an expression of “I’ve learned it! Please praise me! Please reward me!”

Shen Ying stopped short, casually took a piece of pastry from the table and handed it over. “There you go!” That was the reward.

Yi Qing looked happy, stood up immediately and took that piece of pastry. So the master and the disciple started to… happily eat pastry together.

Lonemoon: “…” F*cking retards.

Just as he was going to talk, a person rushed over from the distance.

“Greetings, Supremacy.” The person saluted towards Lonemoon.

“What’s the matter?” Lonemoon recognized the young disciple of Lou Hong.

“Supremacy, the sect master would like to invite Supremacy to discuss urgent matters at the audience hall.”

Lonemoon frowned. Since he finished checking the accounts, Lou Hong had tried hard to avoid seeing him yet he took the initiative to invite him this time.

“I get it, I will be right there.” Lonemoon replied. He looked down at Yi Qing, his mouth twitched and he couldn’t help adding, “Steady your cultivation first. Your sword dharma is self-invented so I can’t teach you that. You would have to fathom it yourself slowly.”

“Okay.” Yi Qing’s little head nodded, his little face remained a little cold.

Only now did Lonemoon follow the disciple towards the main peak.

Once their figures disappeared, Yi Qing instantly changed his cold look. He was a child after all, however calm his disposition, he couldn’t suppress the excitement of practicing for the first time. He grabbed Shen Ying and started asking.

“Master, Master, was that practicing just now? I saw a lot of colorful lights around me.”

“Master, Master, were those just Spirit Qi? Now have those lights in my body too.

“Master, Master, after I get all those Spirit Qi inside my body, will I become as powerful as Master?”

“Master, Master, what’s the sword dharma that Supremacy told me to fathom just now? How do I fathom it?”

“Master, Master, is it..”

He was asking more and more rapidly, as if he didn’t need to get an answer, but only needed to pour out all the questions in his heart.

Shen Ying, “…”

The Chef this time seemed… a little talkative!
