“What the hell are you doing? This Master had just closed his eyes.”
Venerable Yuan was very helpless. This disciple was truly good at making other people feel distressed.
“Master, you can’t blame me for this. You said it yourself, wake you up as long as I condense the first qi sword.”
Ling Xiao said feeling wronged.
“What in the hell!”
Venerable Yuan jumped up.
“Could it be that this Master had already slept for an hour?”
“No, Master, you have slept for less than a breath.” Ling Xiao replied: “Because this disciple had cultivated a peak-gold-grade martial art before, this disciple already has experience in this aspect. So, this disciple was able to cultivate it so quickly.”
“You kid, you are truly a freak!”
Venerable Yuan made a wry smile and said: “Okay, since you have already condensed your first qi sword, show it to this Master.”
“Yes, Master!”
Ling Xiao closed his eyes slowly. After all, he had just comprehended it, therefore, it was obvious that he was not sufficient mastery over <Nine Veins Qi Sword>, and it took a long time to condense the qi sword.
In the silent wilderness, there were only sounds of bonfire and insects.
After about ten breaths, Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, then pointed at a towering tree in front of him.
“Nine Veins Qi Sword!”
Swish!
Pop!
An almost transparent qi sword shot out of his fingertip, which instantly extended to almost ten meters away.
The towering tree was pierced through easily like tofu, leaving behind a pierced sword mark.
Humm!
After a moment, there was another strange sound. Cracks actually began to spread all around from the sword mark, which originally didn’t seem big.
Crack!
The towering tree, which needed over a dozen people to hug it, was on the verge of collapse.
“What happened just now?”
Venerable Yuan looked at Ling Xiao in shock and asked.
Because <Nine Veins Qi Sword> could only cause the former effect, not the latter effect.
“This disciple integrated soul power in it, producing this special effect.”
Ling Xiao scratched his head and replied.
“Alas, what should I say about you? Should I say you are a genius or a prodigy?”
Venerable Yuan made a wry smile and said: “Although your process of condensing the qi sword is still not smooth, it doesn’t matter. Keep practicing, and you will be able to proficiently use it soon. Now, try to use it as a sword.”
“Yes!”
Ling Xiao condensed the qi sword again. This time, he was obviously much more proficient than before. Venerable Yuan was stunned upon seeing it.
He had also seen quite a few geniuses, but he had never encountered someone like Ling Xiao.
“It’s done!”
This time, Ling Xiao succeeded in condensing qi sword in just one breath.
“Cut that tree apart!”
Venerable Yuan pointed at that collapsing tree and said.
Ling Xiao nodded, and controlled the qi sword to be around four or five meters long, then swung his right and lightly, displaying the basic sword skill. But that qi sword was like a divine weapon, directly cutting apart that collapsing tree.
“Good! This counts as taking the first step. Its cultivation relies on each individual. Since your comprehension is too good, this Master truly has nothing to criticize about. If you continue to practice like this, you will be able to develop <Nine Veins Qi Sword> further.”
Originally Venerable Yuan wanted to see whether Ling Xiao’s move had some mistakes, then give some pointers, but after watching Ling Xiao’s training, he decided to drop the matter.
Ling Xiao was simply a model example of a self-taught person. Not only did he grasp <Nine Veins Qi Sword> very well, but the most outrageous thing was, he was also able to infer from other cases, then created a new way of using it.
It looked like he had truly found a treasure.
Why did he always feel so helpless?
“Master, do you think the qi sword can be used like this?”
While Venerable Yuan was thinking, he saw another amazing scene.
Ling Xiao unexpectedly turned the originally straight qi sword into a whip-like soft sword. Moreover, he had clearly thrust it from the front, but it actually stabbed from the back.
This was also not something mentioned in the original formula.
“Master, can qi sword be used like this too?”
Ling Xiao invented new usages.
The qi sword wrapped his right fist as if he was wearing a special glove.
Then the qi sword instantly turned into a defense-type martial art!
Ling Xiao contentiously changed that sword qi into various shapes.
Sometimes, it would turn into a shield, sometimes turn into a beast, sometimes turn into a beautiful flower, and so on.
Although there were many changes that were not useful in actual combat, there were also some classic ideas. Once they were used in actual combat, it would truly be amazing.
“It seems in the aspect of comprehending martial skills, this Master doesn’t need to worry about you. Now, the most important thing is to improve your cultivation and increase the amount of your true essence. After entering the deeper area of the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range, this Master will think of a way to help you find some rare materials to refine pills.”
Now, Venerable Yuan believed that Ling Xiao was the most outstanding person he had ever seen in the aspect of comprehending martial skills. He basically didn’t need to worry about it. The key point is to improve the cultivation.
“Regarding your cultivation, although your aptitude is outstanding, the assistance of proper pills is also necessary. Moreover, you can improve your alchemy skill in passing.”
“I guess those core disciples and geniuses like Leng Hao and Meng Tian get a lot of pills from their Masters, right?”
Ling Xiao thought for a bit and said.
“That’s natural, but at most, they come to look for Old Yang to refine pills for them. But don’t forget that Old Yang’s alchemy skills come from this Master. And with his aptitude, being able to learn a drop of this Master’s skills is already pretty good.”
Venerable Yuan confidentially added: “Although this Master’s strength is not recovered yet, in terms of pure alchemy skill and formations, even if you searched throughout the entire Profound Realm, there might not be more than ten people that are comparable to this Master.”
While saying this, a kind of ‘pride’ that was etched in his bones could be seen.
Ling Xiao wasn’t clear about Venerable Yuan’s past, but he firmly believed that Venerable Yuan was not bragging.
That pride was truly not a fake pride.
Honestly speaking, now, he was more and more interested in the identity of his Master, but it was a pity that even though he had asked many times, his Master would just say that he would know it later, then wouldn’t say anything.
“Furthermore, hereafter, put on this Refine Array Stone with you at all times. No matter what you are doing, don’t take it off until the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony.”
Venerable Yuan suddenly flicked his paw and took out a Refine Array Stone from the storage ring hanging from his neck.
This Refine Array Stone was purplish-black in color. It had many strange inscriptions and patterns on it. It was obvious that some kinds of arrays were engraved on this thing.
Ling Xiao took the Refine Array Stone. Immediately afterward, his hand was lowered quite a bit. He was very shocked to find that this small Refine Array Stone actually weighed nearly two thousand pounds.
This miraculous effect was achieved via using different materials to create the array.
And this Refine Array Stone was just a medium, a medium for storing the formation or array.
