Chapter 69: Chapter 65 - Everyone’s refining Qi, so it’s reasonable to turn Qi into a sword, right?_2

Meanwhile, within the Five Elements Forbidden Grounds, a coffin lid was lifted.

A brawny man with a somewhat pale face looked towards the Yin Yang Forbidden, showing a look of admiration, "Not bad, kid. You have a bit of my charisma from back in the day. But alas, you still fall short in terms of looks and demeanor. You lack the refinement that comes with years. You need to cultivate your energy more.

Heck... Spit!"

He habitually spat outside the coffin.

...

After exiting the game, Qi Yuan didn’t read, but closed his eyes.

He was recalling the battle with Funeral Flower in the Yin Yang Forbidden Lands.

As expected, Funeral Flower is one of the Ten Generals of the Divine Court, she has impressive strength, her battle skills and tactics are incomparable to Qi Yuan’s former self.

He immersed himself in the battle experiences of Elder Qingping, and fought against Funeral Flower.

He learned a part of Master Qingping’s combat experiences.

And his eyes, could resist that strongest divine skill Funeral Flower had - the Endless Flower Sea.

Funeral Flower then refrained from using this tactic.

Her strength was greatly diminished.

Therefore, Qi Yuan slowly gained the upper hand, and as he understood Master Qingping’s Sword Dao, his fighting spirit surged.

Funeral Flower was defeated.

As wished, he obtained the divine reflection of many experts in the Yin Yang Forbidden.

Due to the tremendous consumption, he had to log off.

As for how to control the Yin Yang Forbidden, he would have to consider that the next time he logs in.

"Sword Dao, am I now a true Sword Cultivator?" Qi Yuan wondered.

However, he realized that he and Sword Cultivators still had significant differences.

A Sword Cultivator of the Great Merchant State held all his dedication in his magical sword.

If the sword breaks, the person gets hurt.

He didn’t have one, he wasn’t like that.

Even though knives are strong, they are not swords. Moreover, Qi Yuan didn’t want to entrust his life and property in a single relic.

"The qi of the Five Elements is still being replaced, probably turning into Wood soon." Qi Yuan speculated, wondering how it might bring a small shock to the Divine Glow Sect again.

This change was related to the fusion sequence of the Five Ancestors.

He left the courtyard and stood halfway up the Seven-Colored Peak, practicing Qi refinement. The energy he exhaled was golden.

"Good thing the energy I’m exhaling isn’t fire, or else I would look like one of those gourd dolls"

At this moment, a crane appeared in Qi Yuan’s line of sight.

The crane held in its beak an invitation card.

The crane flew directly toward Qi Yuan and the invitation card fell into Qi Yuan’s hands.

"Wanfa Peak, Dong Xian? Visiting me?"

Qi Yuan thought carefully, but he couldn’t recall who Dong Xian was.

"Well, let’s meet then." Qi Yuan found it interesting.

After all, he had been a loser for so long. Many people in the Divine Glow Sect knew him, but few actually visited him.

"Agreed." He replied on the invitation card.

The crane, with the invitation in its beak, flapped its wings and flew away from the Seven-Colored Peak.

About a quarter of an hour later, a young man in black appeared in Qi Yuan’s line of sight.

Upon seeing the youngster, Qi Yuan was stunned.

"You’re Dong Xian? Aren’t you called Xiao Yan?"

Dong Xian: "... Senior Brother, my name isn’t Xiao Yan. The Senior Brother must have mistaken."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan felt somewhat helpless.

If he had known it was this person, he wouldn’t have agreed to meet.

"What’s your business with me?" Since he had already met him, naturally Qi Yuan wouldn’t send Dong Xian away.

In case he offended him and Dong Xian came back for revenge, Qi Yuan felt like he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

Dong Xian showed an amiable smile: "Senior Brother, I’ve heard that you are quite the game enthusiast.

I have a few collector’s editions here."

As he spoke, Dong Xian took out several game jade slips.

This time, he was bleeding money by bringing out all his precious games, just to bond with Qi Yuan.

After they become familiar, he can then invite Senior Brother Qi Yuan to participate in the Dragon Snatch Battle.

Qi Yuan took the jade slip and the moment he touched it, a scene appeared in his mind.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Qi Yuan held the jade slip. This was his first encounter with forbidden items from another world.

This game, it’s the kind where real people play as Non-Player Characters (NPC), of course, they’re just projections.

Some scenes were highly explicit.

Plus, it perfectly captures the essence of role-playing.

The female cultivators in it range from coquettish fox demons to the cultivator girl next door, from arrogant young ladies to the icy and proud female Sword Immortal.

Of course, if you didn’t know the type of game these jade slips were, there would also be a fighting type available. This type could simulate battles between Foundation Establishment cultivators, thereby, enhancing the experience of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Is this to Senior Brother’s satisfaction?" Dong Xian asked in a low voice, showing an expression of one who is in the same trade.

Qi Yuan glanced at Dong Xian: "I’m currently in a virtuous mood, not interested in these games. So, why are you here?"

Qi Yuan handed the game jade slip back to Dongxian.

But then thought better of it, keeping one for himself, that of the female Sword Immortal, by coincidence.

Dongxian was initially confused.

This Senior Brother Qi Yuan indeed spoke peculiarly.

However, he was relieved to have received a jade slip, which could be a stepping stone to developing a rapport.

Sometimes, the best way to build a relationship is to seek guidance from others while allowing them the opportunity to showcase their extraordinary abilities.

After all, many people enjoy being mentors.

"I’ve heard that your blade techniques are exceptional, and I would like to learn from you..." Dongxian’s voice trailed off mid-sentence.

In his mind, he heard the urgent voice of his old master.

"Sword techniques! Ask about sword techniques!"

Dongxian was perplexed but still proceeded as advised, "I would like to learn sword techniques from you."

Praising blade techniques but seeking sword techniques?

Do I have a problem, or do you?

Qi Yuan gazed at Dongxian, feeling that although this man was destined for greatness, he seemed a bit simple-minded.

However, he was not bothered by it.

Why should he fuss about with someone who had issues with their thinking process?

"Sword techniques? I happen to know a few." Qi Yuan started.

Indeed, his sword techniques were impressive.

Let alone his innate skill of severing the heavens with a drawn sword, Master Qingping’s sword techniques were formidable in memory.

"Which aspect are you interested in?" Qi Yuan asked.

The old master did not speak again, merely wishing to evaluate Qi Yuan’s sword techniques.

After all, rumors circulated about the extermination of the black mountain sect, and for some reason, he felt an inexplicable connection to Qi Yuan.

Or perhaps it had something to do with the person behind Qi Yuan.

He hoped to uncover clues from Qi Yuan’s sword work.

Dongxian pondered, then said, "Currently, I am only in the Qi Refinement phase and unable to nurture a magical sword like a Sword Cultivator. However, I wish to emulate a Sword Cultivator in striking down a bird with a single sword stroke. Are there any good sword techniques to achieve this?"

Dongxian fabricated myths about his oppressive background and concluded with sword techniques.

Qi Yuan was surprised by Dongxian’s words, "You’re really something, you’ve got potential like Xiao Yan.

Sword cultivators are powerful, mainly because of the supremacy of their magical swords.

Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible for Qi Refinement stage cultivators to own magical swords."

Firstly, magical swords are too valuable for Qi Refinement stage cultivators to afford; Secondly, they lack mana and cannot project their Divine Sense, thus are incapable of controlling a sword.

Therefore, sword cultivators at the Qi Refinement stage are typically average in combat strength.

It’s only upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage that a sword cultivator’s prowess can truly shine.

Qi Yuan continued, "We may not have magical swords, but we can certainly use... energy swords!"

"Energy sword? What is that?" Dongxian asked, completely baffled.

"As cultivators of Qi, what are we refining? It’s an innate breath and spiritual energy!

If the qi exists, then it can be wielded as a sword, casting your Sword Dao into the world and achieving a formless kill!" Qi Yuan expounded excitedly.

Master Qingping’s Sword Dao was ultimately about using Qi to form a sword, with no sword in his hand, his qi served as the sword.

The higher realm was to transform oneself into a sword.

This is somewhat similar to some sword cultivators who forge themselves into a magical sword, achieving the same end by different means.

"Using Qi to form a sword is indeed a good idea, but be careful not to stray from the path and transform qi into a horse, it’s not a good thing." Qi Yuan warned with extra care.

Dongxian: "???"

He was completely puzzled.

Why couldn’t he comprehend Qi Yuan’s words, even though he understood each word individually?

"Senior Brother Qi Yuan, what exactly do you mean by a Qi Refinement cultivator transforming qi into a sword?

Moreover, why shouldn’t one transform qi into a horse? I’m lost." Dongxian was utterly confused.

He couldn’t understand why would Qi Refinement Cultivators transform their spiritual energy into a sword instead of mana.

"I’m too slow to understand. Please explain it to me in detail, Senior Brother."

"It seems that I need to demonstrate to you personally what it means to transform Qi into a sword.

Once you see it, you’ll probably understand. It’s not that difficult," Qi Yuan said.

Qi Yuan understood Master Qingping’s Sword Dao just by watching it once.

Meanwhile, Dongxian was utterly dumbfounded.

Was Qi Yuan spouting nonsense, or could he actually transform Qi into a sword?

Or did Qi Yuan mean that like some of Yudan cultivators, he could transform the vital energy of heaven and earth into a giant hand that grasped low-level cultivators?

He had witnessed such a scene before.

However, Qi Yuan was merely at the peak of Qi Refinement, and with insufficient mana, he was unlikely to be able to do so.

Even if he forced it, the strength was likely to be "astonishing".

"Pay close attention, Dongxian!"

Qi Yuan’s expression grew serious as he extended his hand to form a sword finger, and a burst of golden light erupted from his hand.
