Half-Tried Deity-Chapter 5: The Legendary Spirit Of The Night

After endless explanation, Ling Feng Zi didn’t continue to stay there any longer. He took out a flying sword, and before Qi Huan could speak, he was already a hundred miles away from her room.

Seeing Ling Feng Zi’s flying sword flashing dazzling golden light in the air, Qi Huan swallowed her saliva. Oh, how she wished to be able to fly on the sword! When she could do it, she must obtain the most attractive flying sword. The best option would be if she could fly on the sword and follow closely behind it was a phoenix, a blue dragon, etc., that would definitely show off her coolness.

However, she still had some distance away from flying, so she should start building her foundation first!

Qi Huan casually found a futon and sat down cross-legged. She meditated intently in accordance with the basic steps of Qi-drawing as explained by Ling Feng Zi. Perhaps Qi Huan really had no talent because according to Ling Feng Zi, the people who studied this book in the past, only took one day to complete the steps to draw Qi, but Qi Huan took two months and still failed to feel a hint of ling qi.

“Perhaps I am borned slow?” Qi Huan muttered while lying on the soft princess bed of hers.

In order to let Qi Huan leave his house earlier, Ling Feng Zi had ordered more than one hundred disciples to build a castle to her liking, in the shortest time possible. In fact, Qi Huan preferred the pyramids, but she didn’t have the chance to meet Ling Feng Zi again after the castle was built.

“Forget it, I’m going to bed.” Qi Huan rolled over lazily, yawned, wrapped herself in a soft quilt, and fell asleep.

Not long after she fell asleep, specks of blue light as faint as smoke slithered out of her body, shrouding her entire body. With the emergence of the blue lights, strands of pure ling qi flowed down from the sky and were absorbed by those blue lights. This process occurred repeatedly until the night was over, then, the blue light reluctantly returned to Qi Huan’s body.

At this time, on the peak of Qing Yun Mountain, three old men looked strangely at the peak where Xu Kong lived.

“I say, brother, you sure know how to accept a disciple! Such a startling one you have there. You even got the one with the legendary spirit of the night!” The red-faced bald old man looked at Xu Kong beside him with jealousy.

“Lucky, I just got lucky, hahaha!” Xu Kong smiled politely, but his expression was full of arrogance, he almost put his arms around his waist and laughed out loud.

Night spirit concept is whereby a cultivator uses his ling qi to cultivate at night. With such an ability, one can only practice at night. To put it bluntly, cultivators like that can increase their cultivation base while sleeping, to at least ten times more than that of an ordinary cultivator.

Therefore, for more than two months, no matter how Qi Huan practiced during the day, she did not feel a trace of ling qi entering her body. She had never cultivated at night before, so she didn’t know that she had already passed the stage of drawing Qi into her body long ago.

Now Qi Huan had already entered the early stages of building zhuji. She could be called a master in the common world. It was a pity that she was in Qing Yun Sect, because with such capability anyone could flick her to death with just a finger.

Realizing that his apprentice actually belonged to a rare species, Xu Kong Zi didn’t follow his fellow brothers to study ancient Qi formation. He returned to the top of the mountain hurriedly. What a joke, he had lived for more than two thousand years, so he must cultivate his apprentice well, especially since she was a rare one.

Even if he couldn’t kick Kunlun or flatten Shu Mountain, he could still show her off. She could be the representative of Qing Yun Mountain!

But when Xu Kong Zi heard that Qi Huan was studying “The Human Pathway”, his face darkened a little. Seeing the darkened expression on her shift, who quickly took out his golden flying sword and flew away, Qi Huan couldn’t help but stick out her tongue. It seemed that this good-tempered old man was about to transform into a fire-breathing dragon.

Sure enough, half an hour later, according to the other disciples at Qing Yun Sect, an ancient monster got lost and accidentally roasted their sect leader’s mountain peak to a flat plain.

Standing at the foot of the charred mountain, Qi Huan looked up at the apparently flattened peak, touched her nose and smiled. She didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with putting the blame on Ling Feng Zi in front of Xu Kong Zi.

In fact, after she chose the book, Ling Feng Zi did tell her the problems about the book, but Qi Huan hadn’t thought of changing to other books. But of course, she didn’t tell this to Xu Kong Zi, she was not that stupid.

After venting, Xu Kong Zi glued to Qi Huan every day, coaxing and persuading her to change to another book. He even wanted Qi Huan to have the book that was passed down by the ancestors of Qing Yun Sect.

Too bad Qi Huan couldn’t get rid of Xu Kong Zi no matter what. Cheh, stupid old man, now only you realized my value, it’s too late. Who asks you to leave me here alone upon my arrival! You totally deserve this!

Qi Huan kept to her thoughts and ignored Xu Kong Zi for two days. In the end, Xu Kong Zi really couldn’t stand it anymore, so he invited both of his Senior Brothers. How shameful is this? I am the expert in the cultivation world, an ancient legend who has lived for more than two thousand years, and yet, I don’t know how to deal with my twenty-something apprentice.

Only

His two Senior Brothers were quite irritated. Before they even showed up, two flying swords were thrown over, scaring the soul out of Qi Huan immediately.

The two continued to show their annoyance upon their arrival. But in the end they were defeated with a single sentence by Qi Huan. She said, “Since the three of you can cause the entire cultivation world to tremble, then why don’t you all think about taking back “The Heaven Pathway” and “The Earth Pathway”, the other two parts of the secret books? Go get them back!”

This sentence sent the brothers to their defeat instantly. They were even forced to leave behind their flying swords as a compensation for scaring her. They then flew away in despair, leaving Xu Kongzi alone, swallowing his tears secretly while facing his apprentice.

It was not that they didn’t want to take back the other parts of the book. However, their opponents were not weak either. The two books “The Heaven Pathway” and “The Earth Pathway”, one was located in the base camp of the Sorcery Sect and the other was located in the base camp of Demon Cultivation Sect, even if they could each hold ten guys, they wouldn’t be able to stand against the two sects.

All of them were cultivators, how could other people be so good at reproducing? They had so many people in their sect. Perhaps the celestial cultivators would need to engage in family planning. Now if they were to battle, the Sorcery Sect could easily wave out tens of thousands of people, drowning the ten or so people from the celestial cultivators. ƒr𝒆𝑒𝔀e𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃𝐞𝑙. c𝗼m

Fortunately, Xu Kong Zi had also practiced cultivation for countless years. Knowing that heaven was unpredictable, Qi Huan’s choice may not be wrong. Perhaps she had a deep blessing, and maybe one day she would get the other two books by luck.

But this was just his best guess. Anyway, Qi Huan still had to cultivate until the jiedan stage. Even if she practiced at rocket speed, it would take her at least one or two hundred years to achieve that stage, so there was no hurry.
