Chapter 314: Chapter 183: Thanks for the Heart Demon Gift from the World

"Yin Qi, Yang Qi, the types of Qi that are cultivated in the Xuanji Realm are indeed considered mediocre," he said. "However, correspondingly, they have broad prospects. Given the numerous Divine Skills to choose from, it’s no wonder you made this choice."

"Just what kind of Qi type are you looking for?"

Xia Xingyi asked curiously. The balance and techniques used for combining Yin and Yang Qi would result in different types of Qi. If it were a ratio of nine parts Yang to one part Yin, one could cultivate the Old Yang Divine Power, obtaining the ability to subdue great ferocity.

"I’ll settle for an even fifty-fifty split to form the Yin Yang Two Qi," Gu Shanhai replied.

He had no intention of using any fancy tricks; a straightforward split would suffice. The so-called Yin Yang Two Qi Divine Abilities weren’t anything miraculous—just a type of passive skill similar to an aura that circulates around the user, capable of attacking enemies and blocking damage. Spirit Blade, which Gu Shanhai had already deemed obsolete, was of the same category.

Only, this skill involves two different streams of Qi.

"Offense and defense in one, indeed not a bad choice." Xia Xingyi was quite satisfied with Gu Shanhai’s decision. Not opting for any bizarre Divine Skills or Qi types might seem mediocre at first glance, but precisely because of Gu Shanhai’s choice, he held the greatest potential.

In their eyes, a Cultivator of the Cave Soul Realm reincarnating merely needed their support and resources; there was no need to meddle with his preferences.

Since he himself wasn’t as strong as the other’s past life, why add unnecessary complications?

Gu Shanhai chose the Yin Yang Two Qi for a simple reason: he planned to modify Spirit Blade a bit. He had already succeeded in refining the Qi type, and now he just needed to acquire Yin and Yang Qi. He couldn’t rely on native Divine Skills during the Qi Refinement Realm; he could only use his own modified skills.

Once he had enough cultivation data during the Foundation Establishment Stage, he might be able to create a Divine Skill while breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

"Master, when can you take me to gather Yin and Yang Qi?" Gu Shanhai asked.

"There’s no need to go; I’ve already arranged for someone to deliver it. We chose the finest Qi of heaven and earth, personally collected by a Grandmaster in the Divine Phase," Xia Xingyi said with a smile.

He had used his connections through his own master and senior disciples to secure this Yin Qi and Yang Qi to ensure Gu Shanhai’s foundation.

Otherwise, the usual practice was for the master to accompany the disciple to gather it themselves or wait for the sect to allocate it.

The former could suffer from flaws due to the master’s power, being only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the latter would be of good quality but dependent on luck and time. If the sect happened to have the needed Qi, there would be no wait, but otherwise, the sect would assign tasks to disciples to collect it, leaving the completion time uncertain.

Like Xia Xingyi using his connections, begging his superiors for help was also an option, but that required sufficient talent and importance. Otherwise, the Grandmasters wouldn’t bother. If any disciple could easily ask for their help and receive it, that would cheapen their standing.

Fortunately, Gu Shanhai’s status as a ’Cave Soul Reincarnation’ carried enough weight.

"Is it that good?!" Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but feel incredulous, which was indeed a significant investment—it was no wonder the Chengyun Sect could accomplish so much. They certainly did things on a grand scale.

"With me on the case, what can’t be done?" Xia Xingyi looked a bit smug, but he quickly regained composure. One mustn’t boast too much—in case Gu Shanhai got too self-important, he added, "I called in a lot of favors, using connections from your Great Grandmaster, and other senior disciples."

"Oh, I see," Gu Shanhai grasped the situation. It was all about connections, then. Still, it seemed rather preposterous that a disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage could wield influence with someone at the Divine Phase. It was like a village chief turning to the prime minister for help and actually getting it. Yet, thinking about it, it seemed quite normal given how everyone in the sect was related or connected somehow.

"Squawk!"

A proud eagle cry sounded, bringing a smile to Xia Xingyi’s face: "It’s here!"

Then, a fiery presence appeared instantly, although the sender reined in their energy, leaving Gu Shanhai feeling only a scorching sensation.

A gigantic Red Eagle landed, its wings evidencing flowing magma within.

"This is the ’Red Feathered Eagle,’ cultivated by Grand-uncle Yun Zhang from a Red Feathered Eagle, its prowess comparable to the Cave Soul Stage," Xia Xingyi introduced to Gu Shanhai.

Gu Shanhai’s eyes narrowed—a creature with at least a level 200 elite template. Its strength was formidable.

"Pleased to meet you, senior," Gu Shanhai greeted with a bow, respecting Yun Zhang’s likely greater power since he was at the Divine Phase.

The Red Feathered Eagle spat out an Array Plate, sealing Yin and Yang Qi within. Xia Xingyi quickly caught it, examined it, and then stored it away before feeding fresh fish and meat to the Red Feathered Eagle.

The eagle gulped the offerings down, clearly enjoying the food. While it didn’t lack good food in general, it wouldn’t disdain a free meal, having become quite human in understanding after years with Cultivators. A mere disciple could hardly offer anything impressive—it was more about the gesture.

Once the Red Feathered Eagle had flown off in the distance, Gu Shanhai turned with curiosity: "Does our sect also have Beast Taming Techniques?"

"Of course, we do. Interested in learning? Then you’ll have to work hard. After you’ve reached Foundation Establishment, we’ll arrange for you to return to the sect," Xia Xingyi responded.
