Chapter 108 Cultivation Technique Trading, Fire Release Divine Ability
"If the fairy is unwilling, then so be it. The journey through the martial world is long, and we will have another chance to meet again."
Chen Yi spoke calmly, neither forcing nor threatening, simply returning the choice to the other party.
Qi Yunxi's expression shifted repeatedly, finally settling into a sigh as she recalled how she had also stolen the Profound Ice Thunder Soul.
Enough, I won't make any more entanglements with such a powerful person.
In the end,
Qi Yunxi finally gritted her teeth, found the Xuanbing Thunder Soul, and tossed it to Chen Yi.
"Here you go, Fellow Daoist Xu. Let's wipe the slate clean!"
"Haha, Fairy Qi is so generous. In that case, I, Xu, will no longer hold it against you and your younger brother."
Chen Yi's words had a double meaning, which could be interpreted as acknowledging Qi Yunxi's way of settling the cause and effect.
Simultaneously,
In his heart, his opinion of Qi Yunxi rose even higher.
This woman understands the art of making choices; she may not necessarily stop at the Core Formation stage in the future.
Chen Yi and Qi Yunxi's conversation took place in the wilderness, far from the other cultivators, but the cultivators here were all highly perceptive.
I listened to almost the entire set.
When the onlookers witnessed the body cultivator Xu Jiu persuade Qi Yunxi, one of the eight prodigies, to hand over a piece of Xuanbing Lei Soul with just a few words, they all gasped in astonishment.
"Look, look. I told you, this Senior Xu must be a hidden genius, a person who was born to stand above the eight great geniuses."
Now you see, right? I don't need to prove it again, do I?
The old Taoist priest was beaming with pride, and the other cultivators were all deeply impressed. "Master Taoist, you have such foresight! We were blind to your talent! Senior Xu is truly a heroic figure!"
Humph--
A cold snort came from afar, and everyone immediately fell silent again.
But the fairy riding the lightning-lit flying sword didn't bother with them. She simply turned her sword around and flew towards the outer edge of the Medicine Valley, into the depths of the secret realm.
After Qi Yunxi left, Chen Yi and Qin Chengcheng went to a secluded spot.
Chen Yi casually took out the mid-grade third-tier Xuanbing Condensed Crystal Fruit and handed it to Qin Chengcheng:
"Fairy, I'm giving you this as a way of fulfilling my promise to you."
The day after, the fairy helped me renovate my cave dwelling, set up formations, and purchase those resources from the Imperial City Merchant Guild to enhance my strength...
"Let's settle this with this item. What do you think, fairy?"
Qin Chengcheng stared at the spiritual fruit floating above her palm.
Qin Chengcheng did not immediately reach out to take it; her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her expression was complex and indescribable.
She seemed to understand Chen Yi's intention to sever ties. If she accepted this item, Chen Yi would have no reason to continue adventuring with her in the secret realm.
But there was one more thing she really wanted to ask.
previously,
When Chen Yi and Qi Wuba rushed into the upper part of the icy pool to confront the puppet ape,
The puppeteer inside unleashed a powerful, near-third-tier, soul attack, but Chen Yi remained completely unaffected.
How did you resist?
However, Qin Chengcheng remained silent for a long time before finally not asking the question.
She already had a vague answer in her heart. Since Chen Yi was unwilling to admit it, what was wrong with her continuing to press him?
Some things are not about one stone striking another, but about the sparks generated when two stones collide.
She took a deep breath, rallied her spirits, and slightly dispelled the illusion, revealing half of her stunningly beautiful face.
Her deep, autumn-water-like eyes looked at Chen Yi, and she smiled:
"Okay, then let's call it even."
Chen Yi, thank you.
Qin Chengcheng accepted the crystal fruit, but she was not happy.
She continued:
"I will walk the path ahead on my own. It is said that the secret realm contains the legacy of the Thunder Soul Sect. Perhaps I will go and explore it in order to find a sliver of opportunity to repair my soul."
Chen Yi wasn't optimistic about pursuing the Thunder Soul Sect's inheritance, but he couldn't offer much advice.
Do not concern yourself with other people's affairs, and do not comment on their faults.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yi took out the magnetic lightning bead and handed it to Qin Chengcheng:
"Fairy, please take this first. The Thunder Soul Sect's heritage is related to both the divine soul and lightning. This item may be able to withstand one or two lightning tribulations for you at a critical moment, reducing your danger."
With Chen Yi's current strength, the main purpose of using this mid-grade second-tier magnetic lightning bead is to conceal his cultivation level from outsiders.
If he acts on his own, the bead is almost useless.
After using the magnetic lightning beads for some time, he has gained a deeper understanding and is now able to create higher-level magnetic lightning beads.
Therefore, it's better to lend this item to Qin Chengcheng than to keep it for ourselves.
Qin Chengcheng didn't immediately take the magnetic lightning bead. She stared into Chen Yi's eyes and said softly:
"Weren't we even already? Chef Chen, are you worried about me?"
"It just suddenly occurred to me that I thought the fairy might need it, but if the fairy doesn't like it, then so be it."
Chen Yi made a gesture as if to take the things back.
"Who says I don't like it?"
Qin Chengcheng reached out her slender, white hand and took the magnetic lightning bead.
"Since you like to calculate things clearly, then consider this an investment on your behalf. If I obtain the Thunder Soul Sect's inheritance, you will get a share."
Qin Chengcheng rolled her eyes at Chen Yi. She disliked Chen Yi's secretive manner; he had to conceal his intentions when giving gifts or saying things.
"Very well. Then I wish you all the best of luck, Fairy. However, even the few prodigies didn't go directly to the Thunder Soul Sect's inheritance, so it must be extremely difficult."
If the fairy sees that the situation is hopeless, it would be best to retreat and protect herself.
Some things may seem like problems now, but in the long run, they're just ripples in the ocean of time.
Once the fairy's cultivation level is high enough, perhaps some problems will be easily solved.
Chen Yi offered further advice.
"I know, but I also have my own principles."
Chen Yi, please take care of yourself too.
After saying this, Qin Chengcheng turned around and flew away on his sword.
Chen Yi watched Qin Chengcheng walk away, then turned and left as well.
He wanted to first check out the underground thunder pool in the Medicine Valley, and then learn about the other parts of this secret realm. If he had the chance, he wanted to exchange for some wood and earth attribute body-refining resources.
If I had the chance again, it would be best to obtain body-refining techniques with fire or water attributes.
Since the combined golden light of the three attributes is already so powerful, if Chen Yi could combine all five attributes, he might be able to reach the legendary realm of the Bone Refining Realm in the [Azure Willow Jade Body Technique]—[Jade Bone].
Of course, if cultivating golden bones is already this difficult, then refining jade bones would require an unimaginable amount of terrifying resources.
If things are impossible, Chen Yi will not pursue the ultimate goal. He will go to Zhao Jingwu and obtain the third stage of the Vajra Skill, the part on filth refining. Starting to refine filth is not a bad idea.
At the same time, he would not forget the cultivation of his soul and magical power. Essence, energy, and spirit are a trinity; one can specialize in one aspect first, but the three should not be too far apart.
Otherwise, the foundation will be weak, and future achievements will be limited.
Chen Yi left the perilous area and walked about three miles towards the outer edge of Medicine Valley.
front,
At the foot of the mountain wall, a tower-shaped figure stood quietly, seemingly waiting for Chen Yi.
"Brother Xu, I dared not disturb you as you bid farewell to your beloved. I have been waiting for you for quite some time."
Chen Yi narrowed his eyes. Qi Wuba was waiting at a very subtle distance, just outside the perception range of Qin Chengcheng's third-level divine sense.
This person may have guessed something.
In fact, Qin Chengcheng's identity wasn't hard to guess. A third-tier divine sense master and a third-tier zither music array master—in the Qi Kingdom, to achieve such a level, and to be so widely known, was quite remarkable.
Only Qin Chengcheng from Miaoyinfang,
However, everyone respected Qin Chengcheng's abilities and did not expose her directly.
Qi Wuba's decision to wait quietly three miles away was also a sign of respect for the two of them.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yi stepped forward.
"Brother Qi, as a member of the Qi royal family and one of the Eight Great Prodigies, you have already reaped considerable rewards today. I wonder why you are here?"
Are they waiting for some nobody, a rogue cultivator like Xu?
Chen Yi stopped three zhang away from Qi Wuba. This distance was less than the safe distance for a typical Foundation Establishment cultivator. If a magic cultivator were to be approached to this distance by a body cultivator, they would feel uncomfortable, because a body cultivator could launch a sneak attack at any time.
Both were body cultivators, and having fought together once, their relationship was neither entirely enemy nor entirely friend, yet they understood each other's strength.
There is a tacit trust between them.
Sure enough, seeing Chen Yi walk over confidently, Qi Wuba revealed a smile:
"Brother Xu, don't be too modest. To have cultivated the Vajra Skill to the point of having thunder within metal as a rogue cultivator is already enough to be considered on par with our eight great prodigies."
"Brother Qi, please don't be so polite. Speak frankly. Time is of the essence in the secret realm, and we both have important matters to attend to."
Chen Yi was unwilling to exchange pleasantries with the other party any further.
Seeing this, Qi Wuba laughed and said, "It should have been done a long time ago. I hate this kind of hypocritical politeness the most."
Brother Xu, I've come to see you about two things.
First, I'm asking you if you're willing to sell that Xuanbing Leipo.
Secondly, I'd like to exchange cultivation techniques with you. Your Vajra Skill has an exceptionally good body-refining effect. Would you be willing to trade your Vajra Skill to me?
Qi Wuba then revealed his purpose.
Chen Yi's expression shifted. He could understand the other party buying the Profound Ice Thunder Soul, but what about wanting to learn the Vajra Skill?
"Brother Qi, are you joking? Although the Vajra Skill is a superior body-refining technique, it shouldn't be difficult for you to obtain it, right?"
anyway,
Brother Qi, is it really necessary for you to purchase Vajra Kung Fu from me?
Qi Wuba explained briefly: "I have naturally seen the normal Vajra Skill before, but the effect after practicing it is only the same as Zhao Jingwu's."
Brother Xu's Vajra Skill's golden bones are imbued with lightning light, which suggests that Brother Xu possesses extraordinary talent, having developed and modified the Vajra Skill, and also encountered an opportune moment, making the Vajra Skill's bone-refining effect superior to ordinary body-refining techniques.
What I want to trade is Brother Xu's improved Vajra Kung Fu technique.
Qi Wuba didn't mince words and pointed out the extraordinary nature of Chen Yi's Vajra Skill.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi still had some reservations:
"To be honest, Brother Qi, the cultivation method I used for the Vajra Skill was not obtained through proper channels and has not been recognized by the orthodox Vajra Skill lineage."
Whether you can practice the Vajra Skill you learn from me, and whether you'll be investigated by the higher-ups of the Vajra Skill sect in the future, I don't know.
Upon hearing this, Qi Wuba exploded:
"Damn it, Brother Xu, do you know what you're saying?"
You've already achieved the Golden Bone Formation, with thunder within your bones.
He could refine himself into a third-tier body cultivator at any time.
Leaving aside the Central Region, let's just talk about the Qi Kingdom. How is the Vajra Skill practiced, and to what extent?
If you say it doesn't count, then who decides?
If anyone comes to question me in the future, I'll just say it was Brother Xu who told me. Who dares to question me?
Chen Yi was stunned after hearing this. Am I that awesome?
Back when he was still a mortal, he secretly practiced the Vajra Skill he obtained from Zhao Jingwu, never daring to show it to anyone.
Now, according to Qi Wuba, he is already the spokesperson for the Vajra Skill in the Qi Kingdom's cultivation world.
It even has the intention of replacing the orthodox Vajra Gong lineage.
"Brother Qi, don't talk nonsense, you're setting me up."
Chen Yi quickly stopped him.
"If you're not afraid, I can teach you, but don't go around saying you learned it from me."
Moreover, to be honest, Brother Qi, my Vajra Skill, which incorporates thunder spirit, has a rather unique cultivation method. Ordinary body cultivators might not be able to withstand it, and the initial stages of cultivation will be quite painful.
Therefore, the process of improving this Vajra Kung Fu was also extremely difficult.
"I wonder what Brother Qi is willing to offer in exchange for my Vajra Skill?"
"The cultivation technique I practice, the [Blazing Sun True Body Technique], is a fire-based body-refining technique that can be cultivated up to the Refining Body stage."
Of course, this technique is only half a level higher than the ordinary Vajra Technique, and it is still slightly inferior to Brother Xu's improved version.
To complete this part, I will use my [Radiant Sun Avatar] to supplement Chen Yi's abilities.
"【Incarnation of the Fiery Sun】?"
Chen Yi was puzzled.
"That's right, this technique is one of the supernatural abilities within the [True Body Technique of Blazing Sun], and it's considered a closely guarded secret of the Qi Kingdom's royal family."
I used the incomplete version once before, as you should have seen, Brother Xu; the surface of the third-tier puppet I used was molten iron.
"I remember Brother Qi, wasn't he knocked flying?"
"Uh, that's because my skills weren't good enough. The true [Incarnation of the Blazing Sun] divine power can usually only be learned at the late stage of the third rank, or at the beginning of the fourth rank."
I'm currently using the fire elemental power from my own Qi cultivation technique as a shortcut, barely managing to unleash one-tenth of the power of this [Incarnation of the Blazing Sun].
If the true [Incarnation of the Blazing Sun] were here, that tiny puppet would surely be incinerated into a pile of molten iron. Furthermore, this skill allows one to transform into flames and master Fire Release techniques; at its highest level, it would be no weaker than Feng Qingjun's Wind Release techniques!
"You can also learn escape techniques? Okay, I'll take this deal."
Upon hearing that this supernatural power possessed such capabilities, Chen Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed.
I'm not that interested in things like transforming into flames or blazing suns.
His survival strategy taught him that he rarely fought to the death, and he almost never unleashed all his energy like Qi Wuba, transforming into flames to perish together with his enemy, or made a desperate, all-or-nothing attack.
However, since this [Radiant Sun Avatar] can also transform into Fire Release speed, enhancing its ability to escape and survive,...
Chen Yi became interested.
"Let me make this clear beforehand, Brother Xu, you are not a practitioner of fire-based techniques, so cultivating this [Blazing Sun Incarnation] won't be easy for you. But I'm absolutely not trying to trick you into giving me this level of supernatural power."
Qi Wuba frankly pointed out the drawbacks.
"No need for anything else. As long as I can master Fire Release techniques, that's enough for me. Nothing else matters."
Chen Yi waved his hand, unconcerned.
Qi Wuba opened his mouth, wanting to say that the fire escape technique was a high-level application of the [Blazing Sun Incarnation]. You might not even be able to learn the ordinary version of the [Blazing Sun Incarnation], let alone the fire escape technique.
But he swallowed the words back.
They were afraid of dampening Xu Jiu's enthusiasm and causing the other party to cancel the transaction.
The two quickly tossed each other a jade slip.
After a brief examination, Chen Yi discovered that the [Blazing Sun True Body Technique] was indeed a cut above the Vajra Skill in terms of body refinement, possessing its own unique advantages.
This trade was profitable.
As for the method of improving the Vajra Skill that the other party wanted, Chen Yi also took a shortcut.
He initially cultivated lightning spirit power because he came into contact with lightning copper ore in the secret realm, and with the help of the system, he absorbed the lightning spirit power.
Finally, the thunder pattern forms on the bone.
However, once the lightning pattern was obtained, it wasn't difficult for Chen Yi to deduce its formation process.
However, the initial learning process is a bit tough; for example, one has to be struck repeatedly by near-third-tier lightning a hundred or so times to accumulate some lightning spirit power within their body.
Then, following the thunder pattern carving method described by Chen Yi, they carved it little by little onto the surface of the gold bone.
This requires a great deal of lightning power and involves a lot of suffering.
really,
After reading it, Qi Wuba was dumbfounded:
"Damn, Brother Xu, your Thunder Pattern Golden Bone Technique is too overpowered!"
How did you become one?
"As I've already said, besides the opportunity presented by the Thunder Spirit, you also need perseverance."
Otherwise, what do you think I was doing, being struck by lightning for several hours in that desperate situation?
After hearing this, Qi Wuba was stunned, thinking about the cultivation method of this abnormal technique.
"Damn it, let's give it our all! So what if I get hit a thousand or eight hundred times? If Brother Xu can take it, so can I!"
Qi Wuba gritted his teeth and decided to test the lightning with his own body.
Chen Yi felt a pang of heartache.
The two then briefly exchanged their experiences in cultivating their respective martial arts techniques.
After a while, they realized that each of them possessed top-tier talent in body refinement.
Both of them have profound and unique understandings of body refinement and the Golden Bone technique.
This exchange, in turn, made Chen Yigao glance at Qi Wuba.
This young man is not a complete brute; he seems to have some brains.
Qi Wuba's respect for Chen Yi grew even stronger.
"Brother Xu, you really are a genius from among the common people. I originally thought you were someone secretly cultivated by some hidden force."
Now it seems that your achievements in body cultivation today are entirely due to your own understanding!
In terms of talent, I am no match for you!
The two flattered each other, creating a harmonious atmosphere for a time.
"By the way, Brother Xu, is your third-tier rare item, the Profound Ice Thunder Soul, useful? Why don't you trade it to me?"
The value of this item is best achieved when it is refined into a magic weapon by a third-tier late-stage weapon refiner.
If Brother Xu doesn't recognize such a person, perhaps we could try some other resources?
Chen Yi could only absorb the lightning spiritual power within the Xuanbing Thunder Soul for body tempering at most. The Xuanbing power within it had no special use for him for the time being; it could only be used for ordinary energy absorption, which seemed rather wasteful.
If we could exchange it for other resources, that would be the best outcome.
"What resources can Qi Youdu exchange for? The value of a third-tier rare item like the Mysterious Ice Thunder Soul."
Chen Yi asked calmly, not questioning Qi Wuba.
Those who practice body refinement are all poor. They would buy resources to improve their physical bodies if they had any spirit stones. Moreover, Qi Wuba was a master of the Golden Bone technique, so Chen Yi had a deep understanding of the resources consumed in this process.
But then Qi Wuba took out a few items and said, somewhat embarrassed:
"These items combined are worth over 2 spirit stones. Although they are less rare than the Mystic Ice Thunder Soul, I wonder if Brother Xu could do me a favor? Consider it a small debt I owe you?"
"Can."
Chen Yi calmly agreed and accepted the three items from the other party, his heart beating slightly faster.
Then, Qi Wuba presented several items:
Eight drops of Earth Spirit Stone Milk: A third-tier earth-attribute spiritual liquid that strengthens the internal organs and foundation, increases the success rate of Core Formation, and integrates the spiritual power of the five elements.
Tier 3 Flame Treasure Material: Fire-type Body Refining Material [Fire Marrow Jade], worth nearly ten thousand spirit stones, is a specialty of the Qi Kingdom's royal family, specifically used as an aid in the cultivation of the [Blazing Sun True Body Technique].
Qi Wuba, fearing it wasn't enough, also gifted a near-third-tier spirit bamboo, worth 3000 spirit stones.
"Then thank you very much, Brother Xu. Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so straightforward and easy to talk to. The two things I asked you for advice on this time have been of great help to me."
"Later, after we finish exploring the secret realm, I, Qi, will definitely treat Brother Xu to a good drink!"
Qi Wuba left happily, and Chen Yi was also quite satisfied with the deal.
He needs both techniques that grant inherent fire-based powers and several valuable materials.
Although those items were not as precious as the Profound Ice Thunder Soul in Qi Wuba's eyes,
But for Chen Yi, these were all high-grade materials that he couldn't buy even if he had the money.
It is no different from the Xuanbing Leipo.
The fact that Qi Wuba exchanged for these resources saved him the trouble of buying them.
