Chapter 337 - 337: Inborn Demon Cultivator
Hence, Qin Changqing, accompanied by Liu Xiaowan, spent a year within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, perfecting the Great Array.
The Sect Protection Formation of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect relied on the Force of Heaven and Earth to maximize its power. However, the Force of Five Rings was flawed, creating a weak point.
This weak point was challenging for the Formation Masters of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to resolve, but for Qin Changqing, the perfection of it turned this weakness into something akin to a “trap.”
If anyone attacked from here, they would indeed break through. But the moment the enemy believed they had completely broken the array and rushed in, it would be game over for them.
Of course, the subsequent consumption of Fairy Stones would be greater, but after Qin Changqing perfected the Great Array, its power increased exponentially.
This move also let Liu Xiaowan and her parents witness the prowess of Qin Changqing in the art of Array Formation.
Having fixed the Great Array, Qin Changqing prepared to leave.
“Truly spectacular, Qin Changqing. Although the journey from the Southern Region to the North Region is long, with the strength of Void Refinement, it doesn’t take much time to travel back and forth. We welcome you to visit whenever you have tim&
Liu Xiaowan’s father said.
Qin Changqing accepted the invitation.
After bidding the three farewell, Qin Changqing set off away from the North Region.
“My Lady, what do you think?”
“Indeed, he is outstanding amongst men and women, entrusting Xiaowan and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to him shouldn’t present any issues. I need some time before I can reach the Void Refinement stage. After I do, I’ll speak to him to gauge his willingness.”
After Qin Changqing left, the parents of Liu Xiaowan began to discuss.
Meanwhile, Liu Xiaowan, the fair maid, had blushed crimson to her neck.
Because, her parents planned to leave for travel after breaking through to the Void Refinement stage; they might not return for a long time.
Even if they do return, they probably wouldn’t stay for long.
However, her parents were apprehensive about leaving Liu Xiaowan in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and wanted to find a worthy suitor for her to entrust her and the sect to.
Besides, they also wanted to entrust the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to him.
However, finding a suitor is not easy and requires Liu Xiaowan’s approval.
At this time, Qin Changqing’s appearance just fit all the criteria.
Qin Changqing was at the Deifying stage initially, and now that he had broken through to Void Refining, his strength had surged.
Therefore, her parents were so hospitable this time when Qin Changqing visited.
After meeting Qin Changqing, her parents were incredibly pleased.
This led to such a conversation.
Otherwise, how could they possibly give a Deifying stage spiritual beast to Qin Changqing? They wouldn’t even consider selling it.
Qin Changqing was naturally clueless about all these plans. After leaving the Southern Region, he journeyed once again towards the north.
Upon entering Central State after that, Qin Changqing didn’t linger. He crossed the entire Central State and returned to the North Region.
This time, due to unplanned gains in the Southern Region, Qin Changqing’s journey took significantly longer than expected.
What was initially planned to conclude within a year ended up taking over two years.
However, the gains were enormous, especially the rare spiritual grasses and medicines from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.
Upon returning home, Qin Changqing proceeded to plant some of the spiritual grasses and medicines.
Not much had changed at home.
Two years is trivial for cultivators; many of his concubines were still in secluded cultivation.
“Father
Qin Tian had grown up. The now ten-year-old was already a little beauty.
As soon as she saw Qin Changqing return, Qin Tian rushed over and hugged Qin Changqing.
Qin Changqing observed that the ten-year-old was already at Qi Cultivation
Level One.
“Wow, she’s so adorable
Then, Qin Tian received a gift from Qin Changqing: the Five-Colored Phoenix
Bird.
“My Lord
Tian Tian also came.
After spending half a day with Qin Tian, Qin Changqing spent the evening expressing his longing to Tian Tian.
Subsequently, he took some time to accompany his other bodyguards.
After a busy phase of cultivation, Qin Changqing made another trip to the Shuiyue Sect, only to find that the Liu Xinshui sisters were still in retreat.
After delivering the spiritual beasts he brought back to Mengmeng and spending a few more days with them, Qin Changqing returned to Taixuan Peak, where he spent several months refining pills.
For the pills that would give him a breakthrough, he did not rush to make. Those required customization.
Mainly, he refined supplementary cultivation pills and Ding Xin Dan. Ding Xin Dan was somewhat difficult to refine, and Qin Changing took over three months to finally succeed.
Once this batch of pill refinement was finished, Qin Changqing started to deal with other matters.
“Have the people from Sky Inquiry Academy arrived?”
He received the news.
More accurately, they had arrived three years ago.
And then, they had waited at the foot of Taixuan Peak for three years.
Qin Changqing considered this, and ordered someone to let them know he was now available.
“Holy Girl, the Qin family has sent a message. Qin Changqing has returned.”
At Taixuan Peak, inside a temporary cave mansion, the voice of a Monk Xu from Sky Inquiry Academy echoed.
“Holy Girl, this Qin Changqing, knowing that the people from the Holy Land were looking for him, yet he took so long to come back. He really thinks he’s so amazing just because he’s gifted.”
Inside the cave, a girl in green voiced her dissatisfaction.
She, along with the holy girl from the Sky Inquiry Academy, had waited here for Qin Changqing for a full three years.
Although they could pass the time with cultivation.
But as disciples of the Holy Land, when had they ever been treated this way?
Even if he was busy, upon hearing that the people from the Holy Land were looking for him, shouldn’t he have come back sooner?
“Holy Girl, I shall meet with Qin Changqing first. It’s possible that Qin
Changqing did have matters to attend… when you meet him later… ‘
Xu Kejin feared that the Holy Girl would express dissatisfaction when she met Qin Changqing later, so he tried to appease her in advance.
Although he possessed the common pride of a disciple from the Holy Land, he really can’t be arrogant in front of Qin Changqing.
Moreover, this was his mission. The moment he could recruit Qin Changqing into the Sky Inquiry Academy, his merit would be great. So, he put in extra effort.
However, before he could finish speaking, a glance from the Holy Girl, with her cold eyes, exerted enormous pressure, and he found himself unable to continue.
Xu Kejin hurriedly retreated and flew towards Mangxiang Mountain.
“Senior Qin, I have relayed your requirements back to the Holy Land. The upper echelons of the Holy Land hold you in high esteem, so they have specifically sent the Purple Snow Holy Girl to visit.”
“The Purple Snow Holy Girl is a genius with a first-class Ice Spirit Root, and she also has an extremely unique constitution. She’s 1500 years old, and is already in the late stage of cultivating the Void.”
In the grand reception hall, the voice of monk Xu echoed.
On the other side, Qin Changqing was unfazed.
Qin Changqing didn’t expect that the Sky Inquiry Academy would genuinely send a Holy Girl.
This Holy Girl was indeed genuine and quite formidable.
A First-Class Ice Spirit Root!
This was another extraordinary spiritual root.
When cultivating ice techniques, her progress may not be much slower than that of an Immortal Spirit Root.
The only thing she couldn’t compare to the Immortal Spirit Root was its characteristic of not having a cultivation bottleneck.
Another aspect was, the Immortal Spirit Root was not demanding of the cultivation methods’ properties and could cultivate any compatible method.
A First-Class Ice Spirit Root would do best to cultivate only ice techniques. Cultivating other methods would actually slow her progress.
Just like Youyue, who was a natural demon cultivator.
Of course, this refers to a high-end demon cultivator, not those who cultivate human pills from cultivators.
High-end demon cultivators often do not engage in such practices, as they are already targeted by the Thunder Tribulation, which multiplies its fierceness a hundredfold if they do, making the chances of survival almost non-existent.
“Bring her here.”
Qin Changqing spoke calmly. “Yes, senior.”
Monk Xu had a headache..
