“You said you’re not just at the second level. You’re not going to tell me you just watched me demonstrate once and then went straight to the third level, are you?”
When Yan Ge said this, he gave off an air of impending doom if you dared to say yes.
Chi Miao scratched her face and chuckled awkwardly, “It’s not that exaggerated.”
Yan Ge breathed a sigh of relief: “I knew it! The third level of the Profound Origin Technique isn’t that easy. Show me what level you can reach now.”
Chi Miao nodded and used the Profound Origin Technique once again.
This vortex started out blue, then slowly changed to a purplish hue, but didn’t quite turn purple.
Yan Ge’s expression froze: “Half-step to the third level…”
He felt somewhat helpless and wanted to rub his forehead and smile bitterly.
What’s the difference between this and the third level?!
God, you’re so unfair!
Chi Miao’s eyes were full of expectation: “Grandpa, I think if you demonstrate it to me again, and I look a little more carefully, I’ll be able to reach the third layer of Qi Refining. Would you be willing to do this good deed to the end?”
Yan Ge answered decisively, “I don’t want to. My mom is calling me home for dinner.”
Chi Miao was taken aback: “Your mother is still alive?”
Yan Ge: “?”
Chi Miao quickly patted his mouth: “Pah, pah, pah, look at my foul mouth. It’s just that I’ve been a mortal for so long that I have no concept of lifespan in the cultivation world. You don’t look very young, hahaha…”
Yan Ge was so angry he almost laughed.
How can this person have such a foul mouth? How did she even live to be this old?!
No wonder other people’s parents don’t let their kids play with you!
With such talent and a sharp tongue, she’s truly a rare gem.
Yan Ge, despite his sharp tongue, had a kind heart and demonstrated the Profound Origin Technique to Chi Miao again.
He didn’t care how much Chi Miao could learn; to avoid being discouraged, he quickly slipped away.
After he slipped away, he suddenly realized something.
Today, he not only delivered the strategy guide, but also gave her a second-grade pill and a copy of the Profound Origin Technique.
Chi Miao is so talented, if I take her as my apprentice, I won’t be discouraged anymore, right?
Not only will he avoid being attacked, but he can also let Chi Miao attack others and let them taste the pain he suffered today.
Hahaha! Absolutely brilliant!
A moment later, Yan Ge suddenly stood up straight.
“Wrong!”
“I’ve given away everything, and now I’m going to lose myself too? Am I going to lose everything?!”
F*ck!
Why do I suddenly have this feeling of being tricked?
The worst part is that he was just gloating over it!
He’s been sold out and he’s still helping the seller count the money!
….
Chi Miao practiced the Profound Origin Technique inside the house.
Her “quite good comprehension” was top-notch in the cultivation world, but it was not really that heaven-defying. She was just one step away from the third level, but it was very difficult for her to cross that threshold.
At that moment, Jin Shengfei knocked on the door: “May I come in?”
“Enter.”
Upon seeing Jin Shengfei’s face, Chi Miao fell into a deep silence.
“You got beaten up?”
Jin Shengfei’s appearance was definitely inseparable from his handsomeness, but now… although he had already taken a shower, his whole body was still covered in bruises, and his face was swollen like a pig’s head.
If it weren’t for his voice and that flamboyant outfit that made him seem like he was afraid no one would know he was rich, Chi Miao might not have recognized him.
“No, I went to climb the Heavenly Ladder.”
Chi Miao: “The test is already over, why are you climbing that thing?”
Jin Shengfei: “It’s all because of you.”
Chi Miao: “What does this have to do with me?”
Jin Shengfei pondered for a moment: “No one has ever climbed the Heavenly Ladder to so many levels during the Qi Refining stage before, let alone received a blessing. Now that you have received a blessing, who in the cultivation world wouldn’t want to get one too?”
“Don’t even mention us climbers, even those who have already entered the inner sect, and even the personal disciples, are climbing it! Some elders even want to try…”
Chi Miao: “And then, did it succeed?”
Jin Shengfei: “Then the entire Heavenly Ladder was filled with screams, and no one made it.”
Chi Miao mocked mercilessly: “That’s so tragic, hahaha!”
Jin Shengfei: “…”
This person is so despicable!
However, even if you don’t receive a blessing after climbing the ladder multiple times, there are still many benefits.
The soul power can actually be tempered.
During his assessment, he barely managed to climb to the 200th floor with Chi Miao’s guidance, but after several attempts, he was able to climb 30 more floors.
Maybe if he climbed it a few more times, he would actually have a chance to receive a blessing, but that was just a chance.
“Speaking of which, when I first came in, you seemed to be practicing martial arts?”
Chi Miao: “Yes.”
Chi Miao recounted her entire experience to Jin Shengfei, but omitted the fact that she had already cultivated the Profound Origin Technique to near the third level.
Jin Shengfei’s face was filled with disbelief.
“A second-grade pill? A mid-grade Xuan-level cultivation technique! You’ve really encountered a living Bodhisattva!”
Chi Miao: “Right? He’s a real bodhisattva. He taught me one-on-one and even gave me a secret manual.”
Jin Shengfei: “Why is it that all the mysterious people I’ve met just tell my fortune? They all use the same set of stories.”
Chi Miao suddenly stopped, sweating profusely.
Because you’ve encountered a real scammer, bro.
Chi Miao was still trying to figure out how to explain.
Jin Shengfei replied, “I understand now. I must have misunderstood the mystery hidden beneath that mysterious person’s words. I’ll go back and carefully analyze them, and I’m sure I’ll benefit from them just like you!”
After saying that, Jin Shengfei left.
Chi Miao: “…”
Okay… alright.
As long as this silly child is happy.
Why do I keep feeling that her experience today will make Jin Shengfei even more convinced that the person he met that day wasn’t a con artist?
Never mind.
….
Sword Tomb.
After the sword light went out, Chong Shuai summoned many people to help him, and they finally managed to bring the sword light back.
He Wanban guessed that the sword might be too divine, so it needed a suitable person to contract with in order to borrow the other party’s soul power to truly awaken.
Moreover, it had recently shown signs of awakening, which commanded the awe of all swords, and it must be because a master it had chosen had emerged in the vicinity.
So Chong Shuai summoned the entire Jiu Jin Mountain and went to each of them to make contracts.
However, although this sword was weak, it was extremely vicious.
Anyone who attempted to form a pact with it would be injured by its sword energy.
Even elders at the Nascent Soul stage could be injured.
“I can’t even imagine how powerful this sword must have been in its prime, and how powerful the master it chose must have been!”
Finally, they sought out Ying Wuhuo, who possessed a natural sword spirit.
It should be noted that when Ying Wuhuo, who was born with a sword soul, entered the Sword Tomb, it caused ten thousand swords to resound, and in the end, he chose the Ice Soul Sword, which was most suitable for him.
If it was Ying Wuhuo, then the probability of being chosen by this sword was the highest.
Ying Wuhuo should try to contract this sword.
There was no movement.
A moment later, the sword’s aura shook the surroundings as the sword was wielded.
Everyone’s eyes lit up: “Is this going to work out?!”
However, the sword light quickly drew out several large characters.
“Born with a sword spirit, possessing unparalleled talent, yet… unworthy of this great one!”
Several flashes of sword light lingered in everyone’s hearts, leaving them with a sense of unease.
“Even Wu Huo isn’t good enough? Saying that a born sword spirit isn’t worthy? Who exactly chose this sword as its master, and just how monstrous is that person?!”
