Xianyun Sect Chapter 20: Late Stage of Qi Induction

  "Qu Yu, a hundred miles ahead, there is a mountain peak with red flowers blooming all over it. At the foot of the peak, there is a hidden cave, and inside the cave, there is a spiritual spring. You can go now, it's time to break through the Qi Refining stage."

  The divine instrument has always been in Qu Yi's body, dominating Qu Yi's kung fu practice. It discovered that the converged true energy flow had a tendency to converge again and knew that it would soon break through the late stage of guiding energy.

  Although the soul of the artifact spirit is strong to an earth-shattering degree, due to the relationship with the inch boundary ball, the sensing area of the soul at this time is equivalent to the spiritual sensing of the Golden Elixir stage, which is exactly two realms higher than Qu Yu.

  Five hundred miles, this is the highest sensory range of Jindan period cultivation. At this time, the instrument spirit discovered a spiritual spring one hundred miles ahead.

  Qu Yu heard the sound and was overjoyed, he had just thought of asking the instrument spirit if there was a safe place to go for quiet cultivation, but unexpectedly the instrument spirit knew beforehand and took the initiative to tell him.

  "Sister, call down the white egret and release this iron bull beast." Qu Yi said with a smile.

  Beyond a hundred miles, Iron Bull Beast is no longer suitable, it's more convenient to ride Golden Crown Heron.

  Bai Man had been with Qu Yi for three months and was already familiar with his personality. Upon hearing the sound, she knew it was an emergency and didn't respond, instead beckoning him to come over with a wave of her hand.

  The golden-crowned night heron let out a loud cry, and its massive body had already fallen down.

  The mountain peaks stretch for ten miles, a full five thousand meters, and the entire peak is covered with trees with red leaves, and the trees are all in bloom with delicate pink flowers. The mountains stretch for thousands of miles, the forests are dyed, it's really beautiful and magnificent.

  At this time, Qu Yi and Bai Man rode on a Golden Crowned Crane and arrived at this mountain peak.

  "Wow, wow, wow! Younger brother, look at this mountain's red flowers, aren't they beautiful?" Bai Man excitedly shouted.

  "Sister, you are much more beautiful than these red flowers." Qu Yi spoke from the heart, but her hands were patting the Golden Crowned Crane, directing it to fly towards the cave at the foot of the mountain.

  Bai Man was taken aback, her powdered face flushing with a faint red glow, her eyes sparkling with happy light, and she smiled happily, but the whole person became quiet.

  After a while, the Golden Crowned Crane landed at the foot of the mountain.

  Qu Yu immediately found the cave, a ten-meter-long crimson boulder protruded from the ground, and at the bottom of the boulder, where it met the ground, bright red grass grew luxuriantly. The grass parted to reveal an entrance about one meter wide.

  At the entrance of the cave, there was only a faint spiritual energy, but the divine spirit's consciousness was extremely powerful and discovered that the spiritual energy inside the cave was far more concentrated than the natural spiritual energy surrounding it.

  Qu Yǐ held the Qing Mang sword, his true energy seeping out, and with a swing of his arm, the cave entrance immediately expanded, large enough for one person to walk in.

  "Junior brother, how did you know there was a cave like this here?" Bai Man asked with some surprise.

  Bai Man knew that Qu Yi only had the initial stage of Qi, and hadn't even formed his Yuan Shen, let alone have spiritual awareness. However, he was able to sense it from a hundred miles away and directly came here to find this Spiritual Energy Cave.

  Qu Yun looked calmly at Bai Man, until Bai Man felt a bit embarrassed and annoyed, then smiled: "Sister, I have some secrets. If it's said out loud, I'll be hunted down immediately. I hope you can keep it confidential for me."

  Inch boundary ball, five gas three flowers, these secrets, Qu Yi didn't want outsiders to know.

  Bai Man was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized in her heart. She thought of Qu Yi's physique with five spiritual roots, and wondered why his cultivation speed was so fast in less than a year. It turned out that he had the help of a secret treasure, which made sense.

  "Junior brother, rest assured, I swear on my life that I will never reveal any of your secrets, not even to Father." White Manny said immediately.

  After three months of close interaction, Bai Man's heart had already given Qu Yi a position, it was just that she hadn't explicitly said it out loud.

  Once a woman acknowledges a man, she will go all out to think for the man, and Bai Man is even more so, actually swearing with her life.

  Qu Yun looked at Bai Man with gratitude, suddenly jumped over, hugged Bai Man tightly, and whispered in her ear: "Sister, thank you!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Yi flashed into the cave.

  Bai Man's body shook violently, and she immediately ran into the cave with a red face, cursing in her mouth: "Qu Yi, I will twist off your head, how dare you take advantage of me."

  ……

  Inside the cave, the spiritual energy is dense and a small spiritual spring continuously sprays out finger-thin streams of water.

  Qu Yu entered the cave, and his true energy began to stir. His skin, mouth, and nose automatically absorbed the spiritual energy. The five techniques - Golden Splendor, Revival of the Woods, Harmony of Water and Sky, Prairie Fire, and Imperial Majesty - accelerated their circulation speed, continuously refining the spiritual energy.

  In the lower abdomen, the mixed true energy became even denser, and the spiritual energy that kept entering the body was constantly refined into mixed true energy, while the true energy began to condense continuously.

  Recombine, re-recombine.

  The entire Dantian is undergoing earth-shaking changes, with strands of linear true energy converging to form an even thicker strand of true energy, which then merges again with other strands of linear true energy.

  The entire cave was filled with howling winds, and all the spiritual energy formed a whirlpool. The center of the whirlpool was Qu Yi, and the spiritual energy poured into his body at an incredible speed. The spiritual spring in the cave also erupted more violently, with water shooting out at an even faster pace.

  Bai Man stuck to the wall of the cave, looking at the situation in the cave with a shocked expression, her eyes filled with endless doubts.

  Is this just the beginning of inhaling?

  One day later, the spiritual energy inside the cave became thin and was no different from the natural spiritual energy outside. The spiritual spring also stopped spouting water, as if all the spiritual energy had entered Qu Yu's body.

  "Ah, so refreshing!"

  Qu Yu slowly came back from his dazed state and let out a sigh of relief as soon as he opened his mouth.

  The true energy in his body was surging and rolling, Qu Yi already knew that he had entered the later stage of Qi induction, and his strength had increased again.

  Bai Man had been guarding for a day, and now seeing Qu Yi wake up, he immediately jumped out and shouted: "Qu Yi, has your cultivation reached the later stage of Qi Refining? Did you hide your true strength before?"

  The doubts in her mind had been bottled up for a whole day, and Bai Man could no longer wait.

  Qu Yu gathered the essence in his eyes and looked at Bai Man with a gentle smile, saying: "Master sister, you're right. I've already cultivated to the later stage of Qi gathering."

  After finishing speaking, Qu Yi suddenly took out the Qing Mang sword, and with a burst of true energy, a giant python as big as a person jumped out from the sword tip. The python shot straight at the Ling Spring, followed by an earth-shaking explosion, completely destroying the spring, which collapsed five meters deep.

  After inhaling, there is already enough true energy to drive the flying sword.

  Bai Man's beautiful head shook left and right, gazing at Qu Yue with a strange expression, suddenly laughing: "Qu Yue, I'm getting more and more confused about you, how many secrets do you have on your body?"

  Qu Yi sheathed his sword and walked closer with a smile, saying: "Shi Jie, now I can tell you that from now on, apart from Shi Fu, I can also protect you."

  Bai Man was taken aback, and immediately her face turned bright red, her slender body trembling with excitement, tears welling up in her eyes.

  Two people stood facing each other, quietly looking at each other.

  Emotions, sublimated.

  ……

  "Qū Yì, there's a golden-haired spirit monkey in front of you, be careful!"

  In mid-air, Bai Man sat on the back of Jin Guanlu, observing the surrounding demonic beasts before reporting the situation to Qu Yi.

  Although Jiāo Shén had already informed Qū Yì of the situation around him, upon hearing Bái Màn's reminder, he was overjoyed and swung his hand vigorously towards the sky before swiftly flying forward.

  Since reaching the late stage of Qi Refining, Qu Yi had started hunting and killing demonic beasts in the Foundation Building stage. Now, six months had passed again, and Qu Yi's collection had become even more abundant.

  Golden-haired Ape, a mid-tier demonic beast from the Qi Refining stage. Its body is very robust and can reach up to three meters in height, with extremely fast speed and immense strength, making it difficult to deal with.

  Qu Yu didn't sneak up, but flew directly to the opposite side of the Golden Fur Ape, ten meters away, smiling as he looked at it, with his hand holding the Qing Mang sword pointing straight at the Golden Fur Ape, indicating for it to attack first.

  The Golden Monkey, although not yet having a Yuan Shen, had extremely keen senses and discovered that Qu Yi's true energy fluctuations were only in the later stages of Qi induction. The caution and vigilance from earlier were immediately discarded, and his dark eyes became sharp, his legs took large strides, and he hummed as he puffed out air, charging straight at Qu Yi.

  Qu Yu stood firmly, smiling as he watched the Golden Fur Spirit Ape rush towards him in a rage, the Qing Mang sword in his hand dancing with sword flowers.

  The Golden Fur Ape approached, its black palm swatting directly at him. The center of the palm was even emitting a faint golden glow, truly worthy of being a mid-stage Foundation Establishment demonic beast that had already learned to circulate its internal energy throughout its body.

  A powerful palm strike, if you get hit, you will definitely die.

  Qu Yi was very calm, and in the past three months, he had killed no less than a hundred foundation-stage demon beasts. What risk hadn't he experienced? Seeing the palm print imbued with Golden True Qi approaching, before it even got close, Qu Yi's body suddenly disappeared, only to reappear behind the Golden Fur Ape King the next moment.

  Ten thousand miles are worth an inch of gold, after Quyi reaches the later stage of Qi, it is displayed, and the speed has increased a lot.

  The golden-haired spirit monkey was greatly startled and hastily turned around, wanting to clap again.

  Too late!

  Qu Yu flashed out, drew his sword, and in almost an instant, the Qing Mang sword had pierced through the back of the Golden Fur Spirit Ape, with true energy following up, stirring the Golden Fur Spirit Ape's body into a pulp.

  The golden-haired monkey turned its body with great effort, its two eyes wide open in anger, making a "wa" sound, unwillingly falling to the ground and dying.

  "The foundation-building period's demonic beast, wasn't even a challenge. Although I've just opened up my spiritual wisdom, it seems my wisdom is still insufficient." Qu Yi sighed as he collected the Golden Fur Spirit Ape's corpse.

  There were too many foundation period demonic beasts being killed, and Qu Yi had already become numb to it, as if he was just going through the motions of doing a job.

  ……

  A remote and secluded place in the Mystic Mountains.

  Liu Qingfeng and Mu Qiushui finished their dual cultivation, tightened their clothes, and their bodies were filled with a joyful sense of satisfaction.

  "Qingfeng brother, it's been nine months already. Shouldn't we go find that little brat Qu Yu now?" Mu Qiushui asked with a flirtatious gaze and a soft voice.

  Liu Qingfeng looked at the charming young woman in front of him and nodded in satisfaction: "Good, we two will cultivate together. Your strength has already advanced to the middle stage of foundation building, and I have reached the later stage of great perfection. It's time to go find that little brat."

  Nine months of wild revelry and dual cultivation later, both their cultivations had increased.

  "Hmph, this time I've found him, I must dismember him to get rid of the demon in my heart." Mu Qiushui said with hatred.

  Women, especially beautiful women, being directly told by a man in front of another beauty that they are not as good-looking, is a terrible feeling. Mu Qiushui was even more so, having always been praised for her stunning looks in the Xianyun Sect, but was belittled by Qu Yicheng, giving rise to a demon in her heart that grew stronger with each passing day. If this demon is not eliminated, it will be extremely difficult for her to make progress in her cultivation in the future.

  Liu Qingfeng sneered, embracing Mu Qiushui in his arms and wantonly fondling her for a while. He smiled with pleasure and said: "Don't worry, I'm here, he can't escape. This time, I'll definitely let you fulfill your wish."

  After a brief jest, the two immediately took off, searching for Qu Yi.
