Gold Core Is A Star, You Call This Cultivating Immortality?

Chapter 66: Qi Refining, isn't it reasonable to use Qi to transform the sword?

Zang Hua, a terrifying powerhouse from the era of the Heavenly Gods.

Her strength was also among the top during the Divine Court era.

Of course, what people remember most about her is her love-hate relationship with the Heavenly Gods.

Even among top powerhouses, gossip and spectating exist.

"Xiao Jia, stay away!"

Qi Yuan lifted his sword and went forward to meet her.

This time, he didn't integrate with Xiao Jia's body, but fought alone.

To be honest, this was his first time in the game fighting against intelligent beings.

"Your talent is not bad, but your achievements are all thanks to the inheritance of the Heavenly Gods, aren't they?"

Zang Hua said, her eyes turning red.

In the distance, Tong and the other Divine Domain powerhouses were all watching the battle.

Zang Hua's words resonated with some people.

Some people also understood that Zang Hua held a grudge.

Zang Hua had always admired the Heavenly Gods and fought alongside them.

Unfortunately, the position of the Heavenly Gods' emperor was given to the Princess of the Jia Yi Empire.

Proud as Zang Hua was, she was even willing to lower her head and become a concubine of the Heavenly Gods.

But in the end, she was rejected by the Heavenly Gods.

Zang Hua had complex emotions towards the Heavenly Gods and the Princess of the Jia Yi Empire.

And now, the Lord of the Yi Department, the husband of the Princess of the Jia Yi Empire, suddenly rose to power.

There must be many gifts left by the Heavenly Gods to the Yi Department, and perhaps even treasures that enhance talent.

In addition, Zang Hua never liked the Yi Department, and she had some resistance towards the newly appointed Princess of the Jia Yi Empire, the Heavenly Gods, and their daughter.

So even though Long Pan had subdued Tong, no one else spoke up, but she still stepped forward.

"Besides talent, what else do you have?"

"Have you experienced the chaos of the Western Sea?"

"Have you ever fought against the three major Divine Domains?"

"Without experiencing a great battle, you will always be a fledgling eagle, unable to defeat the extraterrestrial demons!"

Zang Hua shouted, "Let me show you what the Ten Generals of the Divine Court are!"

Zang Hua was once one of the Ten Generals of the Divine Court!

In the Divine Court, she was second only to the Heavenly Gods and the leaders of the Four Departments.

She had fought countless battles in her life, experiencing tens of thousands of large and small battles.

She was a woman who crawled out of a sea of blood and stood on a mountain of corpses.

With a single move, she unleashed an endless and fierce attack.

In Qi Yuan's eyes, there were only images of Zang Hua.

Zang Hua was using her strongest Martial Dao Divine Ability.

Endless Sea of Flowers!

Countless flower petals fluttered in the sky, and hundreds of Zang Huas attacked Qi Yuan with different moves.

Unless Qi Yuan's Martial Dao perception far surpassed Zang Hua's, he would not be able to distinguish between the real body and the illusions.

This move was extremely effective against inexperienced fighters.

Qi Yuan held his sword and stood in front of him.

In Xuan Yuan Forbidden Area, Yi Guan Forbidden Area, and the Five Elements Forbidden Area, Qi Yuan had killed tens of thousands of monsters, and he had experienced many battles.

His combat experience was definitely richer than the disciples and even the elders of the Divine Light Sect.

But the opponents he had fought against were mostly mindless monsters.

How could they compare to Zang Hua?

Or rather, combat experience was simply not on the same level.

Qi Yuan's sword thrust was extremely fierce.

Among the countless afterimages, he locked onto Zang Hua's real body.

Because his eyes could see the prompts.

As his sword thrust, a trace of astonishment flashed in Zang Hua's eyes.

She couldn't dodge in time and was directly pushed back by a palm.

Stab!

The collision between the sword and the palm should have resulted in the sword's victory.

However, a cunning smile appeared in Zanghua's eyes: "You're still too young."

With great force, he pierced directly into Qi Yuan's chest with his sword.

Even though Qi Yuan had defenses all over his body.

But he was still slightly injured by this penetrating force.

His face turned pale as he looked at Zanghua, who was covered in blood, with a calm expression: "You're right."

In the distance, the Divine Domain giants who were watching the battle spoke, their eyes filled with admiration.

"He actually managed to injure Zanghua."

"It seems we underestimated him. He's not like those prodigies who only know how to cultivate!"

"Even I can't determine Zanghua's true identity in the endless sea of flowers. How did he do it?"

"He's still too young, he was ambushed by Zanghua."

"It's a pity, he's still too immature.

Three hundred years... too short, too short." Yu spoke, his expression inexplicable.

The appearance of the leader of the Yibu sect, achieving perfection in all five elements in just a few days, this kind of talent is unprecedented.

If given enough time, it's unimaginable.

Everyone looked at Zanghua, at Qi Yuan.

At this moment, Qi Yuan closed his eyes.

His fighting skills were all about grinding monsters, enough to deal with ordinary people.

But it was not enough to deal with the extraterrestrial demons.

However, Qi Yuan was not alone.

He closed his eyes and said towards Zanghua, "Thank you, come again."

At this moment, the experiences and insights of that burly man slowly appeared in Qi Yuan's mind.

That young man who was idle in his youth and suddenly had an epiphany after reading a book turned out to be a powerful swordsman.

Qi Yuan used a sword, and the sword experience of that burly man was most suitable for him.

At this moment, he forgot his own skills.

He seemed to have transformed into that burly man.

He wielded his sword, slaying the evil dragon in the East Sea for seven days, skinning and dismembering the troublemaking dragon.

He opened the Earth Gate with his sword and killed a monstrous creature of the Earth.

Qi Yuan wielded his sword, the aura of the sword permeated, brewing, accumulating, like dark clouds.

"Qingpingzi, I'll fight you!" Qi Yuan opened his eyes, and in an instant, the sharpness of the sword rushed into the sky, piercing through the dark clouds, revealing an extreme brightness in the world.

A smile appeared at the corner of Zanghua's mouth, with a contemptuous expression, as if saying, "Little dog, is that all?"

At the same time, inside the Five Elements Forbidden Ground, the coffin lid was lifted.

The burly man's face was somewhat pale, his eyes looked at the Yin Yang Forbidden Ground, showing an appreciative expression: "Not bad, kid. You have three points of my former elegance, but unfortunately, in terms of appearance and demeanor, you're still a bit worse than me. You haven't been tempered by time, you need to cultivate more."

He habitually spat outside the coffin.

...

Coming out of the game, Qi Yuan didn't read a book, but closed his eyes.

He was recalling the battle with Zanghua in the Yin Yang Forbidden Ground.

Zanghua was indeed one of the top ten generals of the Divine Court, with astonishing combat power and techniques that Qi Yuan of the past couldn't compare to.

He immersed himself in the battle experience of Senior Qingpingzi and the battle with Zanghua.

He learned a part of Qingpingzi's combat experience.

And his eyes, the most powerful Divine Ability of Zanghua, the Endless Flower Sea.

Zanghua didn't use this technique again.

Her strength was greatly reduced.

So, Qi Yuan slowly gained the upper hand, as he understood Qingpingzi's swordsmanship, his fighting became more and more courageous.

Zanghua was defeated.

He finally obtained the divine reflections of the many powerhouses in the Yin Yang Forbidden Ground.

Exhausted, he had to log out.

As for how to control the Yin Yang Forbidden Ground, he would consider it next time he logged in.

"Swordsmanship, am I truly a true swordsman now?" Qi Yuan pondered.

But then he realized that there was still a big difference between him and a true swordsman.

The swordsmen of the Great Shang Kingdom had a sword that held all their heart and soul.

The sword breaks and the person is injured.

He didn't have that, he wasn't like them.

Although the knife was strong, it wasn't a sword, and Qi Yuan didn't want to rely his life on a treasure.

"The Qi of the Five Elements is still changing, it will probably be wood soon," Qi Yuan thought, wondering if it would bring some small shock to the Divine Light Sect.

This change is related to the order of the Five Ancestors' Integrated Union.

He left the courtyard and stood halfway up the Seven Colour Peak, exhaling Qi Refining, and what he spat out was unexpectedly golden light.

"It's a good thing it's not fire, otherwise I would have become a gourd doll."

At this moment, a flying crane appeared in Qi Yuan's field of vision.

The flying crane carried a visiting letter in its mouth.

The flying crane flew straight towards Qi Yuan, and the visiting letter fell into Qi Yuan's hands.

"Myriad Arts Peak, Dong Xian? Visiting me?" Qi Yuan carefully recalled, but he couldn't figure out who Dong Xian was.

"Well, let's meet then," Qi Yuan felt curious.

After all, he was used to being a salted fish, and although many people in the Divine Light Sect knew him, it was rare for someone to visit him.

"Sure," he replied on the visiting letter.

The white crane picked up the invitation letter, flapped its wings, and flew away from the Seven Colour Peak once again.

About fifteen minutes later, a black-clad youth appeared in Qi Yuan's line of sight.

When Qi Yuan saw that youth, he was stunned.

"You're Dong Xian? Aren't you called Xiao Yan?" Qi Yuan said.

Dong Xian: "...Senior brother, I am not called Xiao Yan, senior brother must have mistaken me."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan felt somewhat helpless.

If he had known it was him, he wouldn't have agreed to meet.

"What brings you here to find me?" Since they had already met, Qi Yuan naturally wouldn't drive Dong Xian away.

In case he offended this person, and he said something like "Don't bully the poor and angry young man, or he will come down the mountain in anger," Qi Yuan felt that he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Dong Xian showed a respectful smile on his face. "Senior brother, I heard that you are obsessed with games. I have a few collector's editions here."

As Dong Xian spoke, he took out several game jade slips.

This time, he was bleeding heavily, bringing out his cherished games just to establish a connection with Qi Yuan.

After they became familiar with each other, he could invite Senior Brother Qi Yuan to participate in the Dragon Seizing Battle.

Qi Yuan took the jade slips, and as soon as his hand touched them, a scene appeared in his mind.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Qi Yuan held the jade slips, this was his first encounter with forbidden items from another world.

This game even had Perfected Beings as NPCs, of course, it was just a projection.

Some parts of the plot were extremely explicit.

And it captured the essence of role-playing.

Among the female cultivators in it, some were charming and seductive fox spirits, some were female cultivator sisters from neighboring Cave Mansions, some were arrogant and rude young ladies, and there were also ice-cold and proud female sword immortals.

Of course, these game jade slips were of a type he had never seen before, there was also a type for fighting, which could simulate the battles between Foundation Building cultivators and enhance their experience.

"Is Senior Brother satisfied?" Dong Xian said in a low voice, revealing an expression of camaraderie.

Qi Yuan glanced at Dong Xian sideways. "I am currently in sage mode, I am not interested in these things. So, tell me, why did you come to find me?"

Qi Yuan returned the game jade slips to Dong Xian.

But then he thought it wasn't quite right, so he casually left one behind, it was the one with the female sword immortal, what a coincidence.

At first, Dong Xian was a little confused.

This Senior Brother Qi Yuan really spoke strangely.

But fortunately, he accepted one of the jade slips, so they could establish a connection.

And sometimes, a good way to establish a connection was to ask for advice from others, while allowing others to show their outstanding abilities.

After all, many people liked to be mentors.

"I heard that Senior Brother is quite good at knife techniques, so I specially came to ask for advice..." Dong Xian paused halfway through his words.

In his mind, the anxious voice of Elder Qi came through.

"Swordsmanship! Teach me swordsmanship!"

Dong Xian didn't understand, but he still followed what Qi Lao said: "I ask Senior Brother to teach me swordsmanship."

"Your knife skills are good, can you teach me swordsmanship?"

"Is there something wrong with me or with you?"

Qi Yuan looked at Dong Xian and felt that this person had the fate of a protagonist, but his brain seemed to be not very good.

However, he didn't mind.

What's the point of arguing with someone who has a problem with their brain?

"Swordsmanship, well, I happen to know some." Qi Yuan spoke up.

His swordsmanship was indeed good.

Not to mention the Zhan Tian Ba Sword Technique that he already knew, the swordsmanship in Qingpingzi's memory was also very powerful.

"What aspect of it do you want to understand?" Qi Yuan asked.

Qi Lao didn't transmit any more messages. He just wanted to see how Qi Yuan's swordsmanship was.

After all, there were rumors that the Black Mountain Sect had been annihilated, and for some reason, he always felt a mysterious connection with this Qi Yuan.

Or perhaps it was related to the person behind Qi Yuan.

He wanted to see some clues from Qi Yuan's swordsmanship.

Dong Xian lowered his head in thought and then said, "Now that I am only at the Qi Refining stage, I can't cultivate a magic sword like a sword cultivator, but I still want to be able to make a bird fall with a single sword strike, just like a sword cultivator. Are there any good sword techniques that can achieve this?"

Dong Xian made up a random question, and it ended up being about swordsmanship.

Qi Yuan was surprised when he heard this and looked at Dong Xian, "You kid are indeed good, you have the talent of Xiao Yan."

Sword cultivators are strong, their strength lies in their magic swords.

Unfortunately, Qi Refining cultivators almost never have magic swords.

Firstly, magic swords are too precious and Qi Refining cultivators cannot afford them. Secondly, Qi Refining cultivators lack sufficient spiritual power and cannot release their divine senses, so they cannot control a flying sword at all.

Therefore, the combat power of Qi Refining cultivators who specialize in swordsmanship is actually average.

It is only when they reach the Foundation Building stage that the strength of sword cultivators is fully displayed.

Qi Yuan continued, "Without a magic sword, we can still have... Qi Swords!"

"Qi Swords? What is that?" Dong Xian was taken aback.

"Qi Refining cultivators cultivate Innate Qi and Spiritual Qi. Since there is Qi, it can be transformed into a sword, releasing sword Qi and killing people invisibly!" Qi Yuan explained confidently.

Qingpingzi's swordsmanship, when cultivated to the highest level, is to transform Qi into a sword. Without a sword in hand, Qi becomes the sword.

At a higher level, one becomes the sword itself.

This is somewhat similar to some sword cultivators who forge themselves into a magic sword, taking different paths to the same destination.

"Using Qi to transform into a sword is indeed good, but you have to be careful not to go astray. Using Qi to transform into a horse is not a good thing." Qi Yuan warned earnestly.

Dong Xian: "???"

He was completely confused.

Why did he understand every word Qi Yuan Senior Brother said, but when they were put together, he didn't understand the meaning?

"Senior Brother Qi Yuan, what does it mean for Qi Refining cultivators to use Qi to transform into a sword? And what does it mean not to use Qi to transform into a horse?" Dong Xian was now very confused.

He couldn't understand why Qi Refining cultivators didn't just refine spiritual Qi into magical power. How did they suddenly start using Qi to transform into a sword?

"Younger Brother is dull, please explain it in detail, Senior Brother." Dong Xian requested.

"It seems that I have to personally demonstrate to you what it means to use Qi to transform into a sword. Once you see it, you'll probably understand. It's not that difficult." Qi Yuan said.

Qi Yuan only saw Qingpingzi's swordsmanship once and understood it.

Beside him, Dong Xian was completely bewildered.

Qi Yuan Senior Brother wasn't just talking nonsense, he really knew how to use Qi to transform into a sword?

Or was it like those Nascent Soul cultivators who turned the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth into a giant hand to capture low-level cultivators?

He had seen such scenes before.

But Qi Yuan Senior Brother was only at the Qi Refining stage, his magical power was insufficient, and he was probably unable to do it.

Even if he could barely do it, the power would probably be "astonishing".

"Younger Brother Dong Xian, watch closely!"

Qi Yuan's expression became serious as he extended his hand, forming a sword gesture.

A golden light burst forth from his hand.
