Refine and Transmute Genuine Qi

  Back in his own courtyard, Du Fei slowly took a breath and relaxed a little.

  No matter what, today's behavior will probably leave a domineering impression in the hearts of many people.

  However, this impression can be very good. As long as outsiders think you are nothing special, then in many cases, you can take advantage of countless benefits and pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger, which is the smartest way to do things.

  If you make people think that your talent is extremely high and you are also clever and tactful, then probably anyone will regard you as the biggest opponent. At that time, it would be really hard to survive even if you want to.

  Du Fei slightly shook his head, temporarily shaking off the various thoughts in his mind. He took a deep breath and began to savor this rare moment of tranquility.

  No matter how you look at it, the journey to the Mystic Realm is not just for fun. After today, I have to start cultivating again. Not only do I need to deal with the injuries inside my body, but I also need to find a way to master the Ice Edge Leg and the Mysterious Yin Finger. After all, in that place, having one more martial skill will definitely bring me benefits.

  Slowly circling around the house, he didn't see the expected figure, and with a slight frown, Du Fei walked slowly into the courtyard.

  As he walked in, he suddenly saw a very familiar girl's back in the flower bed of the courtyard, leaning against a pillar on one side, thinking about something. The back was beautiful to the extreme and desolate to the extreme no matter how it looked.

  His line of sight was fixed on the back figure for a moment, and Du Fei's heart also didn't know what kind of feeling it was.

  All along, he had treated Xia Ai as his own younger sister, but from what time on, this feeling had already added a few subtle changes, making him occasionally have a few thoughts that even he himself felt were quite unbearable.

  He stared at her back for a moment before he regained his composure, took a few slow steps forward, and stood behind the girl. He gently stroked her hair, which was as smooth as black silk, and chuckled softly, "Lass, what are you thinking about?"

  "Young master... no, I wasn't thinking of anything..." The girl was startled by the touch, but quickly regained her composure and replied with a hint of shyness.

  "Really didn't think of anything? Or is it that you've taken a liking to some young master... Little girl's having spring thoughts, no way!" Seeing Xiao Ai like this, Du Fei couldn't help but tease her with a smile.

  Unexpectedly, after being teased by Du Fei, Xiao Ai's face turned bright red to the roots of her ears. After a moment, she spoke in a soft voice that was as thin as a mosquito's: "Y-young master... did you see through it?"

  "Ah! I saw it! Say! Who are you looking at!" Du Fei said with a light smile.

  "You——"

  It seemed as if she had sensed that she was being teased, and Xiao Ai quickly lifted her head, her small face puffed up with anger, which made her look even more adorable!

  "You're a bad guy! A really bad guy! You're perverted! Super perverted!"

  "Alright, alright... I'm a pervert......" Du Fei rubbed Xiao Ai's head with his hand and said in a low voice after a moment, "Xiao Ai, can the young master discuss something with you?"

  It seems that she sensed something, Xia Ai's body stiffened, and then she said in a low voice: "No matter what happens, I will be with the young master!"

  "I didn't say I don't want you, look at how tense you are," Du Fei patted Xiao Ai's head with his hand. "The thing I want to discuss with you isn't a big deal... A month later, I'm going to the Xuan You Secret Realm, and after I come out, I estimate that I won't be staying in the family anymore, but will go out to gain experience... This period of time probably won't be too short... But believe me, after this period of time is over, I will definitely have the power to avenge myself. After avenging my deep hatred, we can find a quiet place and live a good life together... As for before that, I hope you behave in the Du family, Grandfather's face is cold but his heart is warm, I think he will take good care of you!"

  "No! I must be with Young Master! Wherever Young Master goes to train, I'll follow him there! Even if Young Master thinks I'm a burden, I'll still follow you! The Old Master has ordered me, no matter what, I must protect you well!" After biting her lip slightly, Xiaoyi finally said resolutely in a voice that was slightly choked with tears.

  "Good girl... Little Ai, listen to me. How can I bear to let you go out and experience the world with me? ... Eating in the wind and sleeping in the dew is really too hard for a young lady like you... Moreover, what you need to do is just wait quietly for me here... You know that!"

  "No, I—"

  "Hmm—"

  Xiao Ai was about to open her mouth to dissuade him, but Du Fei suddenly stretched out his hands and wrapped them tightly around the girl's slender waist. Before she could react, he had already lowered his head slightly and covered her soft lips with his own.

  Startled by Du Fei's sudden movement, the girl's eyes widened in surprise, seemingly unsure of how to react for a moment. However, after a brief pause, her expression gradually softened, and her eyes slowly closed.

  However, the crimson color suddenly appeared, dyeing the girl's entire face with a tempting crimson.

  The intoxicating taste made Du Fei's head slightly hot, and his hands were also getting tighter, but fortunately he was still clear about what he was doing.

  It took an unknown amount of willpower for Du Fei's lips to slowly move away, and he didn't know what kind of feeling was in his heart. After a slight sigh, thousands of words turned into one sentence: "Listen, wait for me, okay?"

  This time, the girl who was originally strong and unyielding became somewhat at a loss, after a moment, she nodded lightly and murmured a soft "uh-huh".

  "Hmm—"

  He slowly exhaled a mouthful of stale air from his chest and abdomen, and Du Fei's face turned from slightly flushed to somewhat pale and translucent. However, this feeling was fleeting, and after a moment, the fingers in his hand changed slightly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

  "Finally finished treating the injuries in his body!" Du Fei closed his eyes and looked inward for a moment, and he was also secretly delighted.

  After spending half a month, he finally dealt with all the injuries in his body. However, even so, near the vortex of true energy at his dantian qihai, there was still a cluster of fiery red true energy floating around.

  This cluster of fiery red true energy was naturally the true energy left in Du Fei's body by Lian Zhen.

  At Du Fei's current state, it should be an easy task to dispel this ball of true energy. However, he didn't want to waste this ball of true energy that had taken a lifetime of hard work to cultivate, but instead wanted to refine and absorb it all for himself.

  He narrowed his eyes slightly, adjusted his breathing for a moment, and put the true energy in his body in the most perfect state. Du Fei took a deep breath and said faintly, "Xiao Bai, according to my idea, is there any chance of refining all this true energy into mine?"

  "Beep—"

  "Based on the current situation, the success rate is approximately 56%. If it fails and the true energy backfires, the master will not be able to recover within half a year. Therefore, I do not recommend that the master refine this ball of true energy."

  Upon hearing this, Du Fei only smiled faintly. Since ancient times, wealth and honor have been sought in danger. With his current strength entering the Mystic Void Realm, although there is not much danger, being able to gain a few more points of power is naturally good. Du Fei did not want to regret it later, wondering why he had not worked harder earlier.

  Ignoring the system's warning, Du Fei closed his eyes again and slowly recalled the technique of refining true energy in the Ice Heart Decision. After a slight transformation, he took a light breath, and the seal in his hand changed rapidly.

  As he moved, the true energy vortex in his dantian qihai slightly trembled and quickly rotated, while the icy true energy within the vortex rapidly surged out, forming a shape like sharp thorns. After hesitating for a moment, it lightly pierced the flame-like true energy above!

  With this stab, the compressed Flowing Flame True Qi seemed to have found a vent, and suddenly burst out in an overwhelming trend.

  "Ah——"

  He let out a pained groan, but Du Fei's expression changed slightly.

  At the moment when the flowing flame true energy appeared, the feeling of ice and fire in his dantian was so intense that it seemed as if his own dantian would burst open instantly.

  But Du Fei didn't stop his movements because of this, and instead the seals in his hands changed once again.

  As the handprint changed, more icy true energy surged out of the vortex of true energy, quickly wrapping around a wisp of flowing flame true energy. Immediately, this unusual true energy began to slowly operate along the cultivation path of Bing Xin's decision.

  Outside, Du Fei's face turned red and white in succession, and soon a thread of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

  No matter what, refining the true energy of an outsider is not an easy task. The feeling of refining an outsider's true energy is like using a knife to torture one's own meridians when cultivating.

  Fortunately, Du Fei's meridians had become stronger after practicing Mianquan, otherwise, just this refining action would have made him vomit blood and die.

  "Condensed"

  "Received"

  "Return——"

  As the true energy circulated, the seal in Du Fei's hand also changed constantly, and the low roar continued to spread out. When the last roar was made, the first wisp of true energy was finally slowly refined into the true energy vortex. After the true energy vortex rotated for a moment, it was considered that this wisp of true energy had been completely absorbed.

  He sensed that his true energy had increased a bit, and Du Fei's face showed a slight joy. Immediately, he drew out another wave of flowing flame true energy, and according to the previous refining method, slowly began to refine it...

  One day, two days, three days...

  As Du Fei's refinement progressed, the Flowing Flame True Qi within his body was gradually decreasing. In the end, it seemed to have merged entirely into his True Qi vortex.
