Chapter 49: Devilish Thoughts

  It's late again, Old D went for a blood test during the day.

  Bai Qi let out a loud cry, spitting out four sword pellets that flew about in the rain. The Moon Wheel Sword Pellets flew faster and faster, forming a circular disk in the air like a bright moon.

  The edge of this disc was sharp and majestic, under Bai Qi's control, it cut through thousands of raindrops, the two halves almost identical in size.

  "Congratulations, my junior brother. The Sword Wheel Technique has already reached the entry level." Bai Shui Zhenren was surprised in his heart. While controlling the Green Dragon Illusion, Bai Qi could still cast out the Moon Wheel Sword Wheel. This divine consciousness's power had already equaled that of a Late-Stage Qi Refining Cultivator.

  With such innate talent, if a major sect were to take him in, achieving the Great Pill would be no problem at all.

  Bai Qi didn't understand Bai Shui Zhenren, he manipulated four sword pellets to form a crescent moon, which was also quite strenuous. The edge of this crescent moon formed twenty-four sword edges, perfectly interlocking like a circular saw. This is the reason for the great lethality of the Crescent Moon Sword Pellets. Originally, Bai Qi only controlled the sword pellets to randomly chop and slash, with ordinary power.

  The way of swordsmanship, without guidance from others, wanting to rely on oneself for cultivation, is basically impossible to succeed. The manipulation of the sword sphere, initially speaking, is easier than ordinary flying swords, but really wanting to enter a state of enlightenment is actually a hundred times more difficult than ordinary flying swords.

  Apart from Jian Xiu, few cultivators use sword pellets as their weapon. Because it's easy to learn but hard to master.

  Bai Shui Zhen Ren is a lone cultivator, and his swordsmanship is only a glimpse of the entrance. What he passed on to Bai Qi is the Overlapping Rain Sword Technique. This Overlapping Rain Sword Technique has been widely spread, but the true essence of the sword technique lies in Qing Cheng's hands. Lone cultivators can cultivate up to the Nascent Soul stage at most, and there is no possibility of further advancement.

  The Qingcheng swordsmanship is unmatched in the world. Even Su Mian's life-taking sword from Kunlun cannot compare to most of the sword cultivators in Qingcheng. Su Mian relies on his own powerful strength, not his swordsmanship, to harm his enemies.

  The heavy rain in the sky greatly improved Bai Qi's mood, he was different from others, and the gloomy weather made him feel refreshed. His mother was a heavenly demon, it was unknown whether this was the reason, but Bai Qi's feelings were different from those of others. He opened his mouth again and spat out two more sword pellets, a total of six sword pellets, which merged together to form a circular moon with a diameter of over ten feet.

  As soon as Jian Wan came out, the sword energy surged greatly. Bai Qi couldn't hold back and released a thread of sword intent that he had comprehended, which was the sword intent of the Xian Jian Sword. The killing aura soared into the sky, forcing the dark clouds in the sky to disperse.

  Bai Qi suddenly woke up, wanting to retrieve this strand of sword intent, but found that this strand of sword intent had merged with his Moon Wheel Sword Bead. If it were to disperse, the Moon Wheel Sword Bead would also collapse and return to its original form as six small sword beads.

  Forget it, I just grasped a hint of sword intent and couldn't learn the incantation for the Xianjian Sword, which won't affect anything.

  Bai Qi thought of this, looked up at the sky and let out a long howl. The green dragon illusion swirling around his body also opened its mouth and let out a dragon's roar. Just then, a flash of lightning flashed across the clouds, thunder shook the air, and Bai Shui Zhenren fell to the ground, his face pale. His heavily injured body could not withstand the enormous pressure, and his mind was even more turbulent.

  Bai Qi said he was too heavily burdened by his crimes, it turns out he wasn't joking!

  Bai Qi suddenly became unaware, the sword technique "Rain Cover" danced wildly in the air, that one wheel of bright moon-like sword aura began to dance crazily in the rain, the sword energy surged, causing all the nearby rainwater to be twisted into tiny particles, just like being evaporated by a great fire.

  Bai Qi wasn't afraid of being discovered by the nearby cultivators either. The nearest sect was also three hundred miles away, and the strongest person in the entire sect was only a cultivator at the early stage of Nascent Soul. In this kind of weather, only cultivators who had formed their Golden Core dared to fly.

  The sword energy was surging, and Bai Qi still controlled it very well. The only thing was that the green dragon illusions around his body were a bit scattered. Bai Qi simply put away the Qinglong Seven Kills skill and focused on cultivating his swordsmanship.

  Without magic by their side, cultivators would perish when faced with danger, no matter how high their realm was.

  After a long time, the rain stopped, and Bai Qi finally put away his sword and threw a healing pill to Bai Shui Zhenren.

  "Big brother, if you have time, refine some elixirs for me, I'm running low." Bai Qi's sword skills had just been completed, and he was feeling very satisfied, not forgetting to tease White Water True Person. The elixirs in his possession were all snatched from White Water True Person.

  Bai Shui's face twisted into a bitter smile: "Refining elixirs requires medicinal materials, a crucible and furnace, and my current cultivation level..."

  "Then, Master Brother, please teach me more, so that in the future Master Brother won't get hurt. I don't have any suitable medicinal pellets on hand."

  Bai Shui Ren thoroughly lost his temper, the Dan medicine was originally his strong point. Framing and harming Bai Qi was still easy, but Bai Qi never took Dan medicine on a daily basis, every time he was injured, Bai Qi experimented with the medicinal properties on him.

  Bai Qi's behavior can no longer be described as cautious, it's simply abnormal. Bai Qi's yuanqi recovery speed is extremely fast, and he doesn't even need to take half a Hui Xi Dan. Bai Shui Zhenren wants to harm him, but there's no way to do so. Even so, Bai Qi still enjoys experimenting with medicine on him. If he randomly talks about the medicinal properties, it's his own life that will be lost, and it won't cause any harm to Bai Qi.

  Bai Qi smiled and returned to his room, starting to circulate the Qing Lei True Solution.

  He had already thoroughly mastered the first two chapters of the Heavenly Emperor's Scripture, but this third chapter was a different story. The Inverse Scale Spear no longer provided its cyan aura, instead focusing on absorbing the Purple Void Golden Command. There was also that hint of the Heavenly Emperor's will. Bai Qi finally understood that to advance his Azure Thunder True Meaning, he needed to open up new meridians. Without the help of the Inverse Scale Spear, even if he followed the usual cultivation routine, it would probably take him ten or eight years at best.

  Bai Qi looked at the third part of Qing Lei's true solution and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

  A shortcut is right in front of you, as long as you let the Inverse Scale Spear devour some things it likes, the Inverse Scale Spear will naturally differentiate a cyan gold gas for you to cultivate.

  But the Inverse Scale Spear is clearly unwilling to help now, so what can I do?

  Another way is to take Dan medicine or absorb the heavenly energy from jade. However, I don't have much jade left and I'm not too confident in the Dan medicine either. Of course, Bai Shui True Person would be happy if I died, but cultivation things can be verified mutually, you can't fool yourself, and what Bai Shui True Person said may not be correct, and Bai Qi won't cultivate according to his words anyway, it's just a comparison, and also to get familiar with some specialized terms in cultivation.

  With Qing Lei's true solution, Bai Qi only needs basic knowledge.

  It seems that I need to go to the Chu River and kill some monsters, otherwise my progress will be very slow. The people of Kunlun Sect are extremely arrogant, if I don't have any achievements in my cultivation, let alone marry Xiaoyu, it's impossible to even see her once.

  His parents had died and the White family was extinct, so Xiaoyu was his only relative now.

  However, in the Chu River, there is a powerful demon. That silver-armored youth is almost at the level of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and seems to be on the verge of forming his Core. If I rashly go there myself, it will likely end in disaster rather than fortune.

  Helpless, Bai Qi swallowed the entire bottle of Huiqi Dan and was directly transported to the demon space. The Ni Lin gun sensed the aura of the medicine, its scales opened, and it absorbed everything, transforming into a cyan gold aura, spitting out two-tenths, which entered Bai Qi's body.

  A whole bottle of Huiqi Dan, only exchanged for a little bit of cyan gold gas, Bai Qi shook his head. The inverted scale gun's efficiency is indeed high, but compared to the second chapter of Qing Lei Zhen Jie, which has a method to convert yuan qi into this cyan gold gas, it would take about half a month to convert this small amount if he tried.

  The cultivation of a Qi Refiner, condensing the heavenly and earthly primal energy is the first step. The ability of Inverse Scale Spear has saved time in cultivation. However, steps such as manipulating and familiarizing oneself with the primal energy cannot be omitted.

  A bottle of Revival Dan, ninety-nine pills, only exchanged for a hint of cyan and gold aura. Bai Qi knew he was at a loss, but from the perspective of saving time, what he gained was too much.

  Anyway, the Dan medicine is an external object. Bai Qi took a ruthless heart and swallowed all the Huiqi Dans into the demon space. The inverted scale gun was still a scale plate, which decomposed and transformed it into a cyan gold gas, returning two tenths to Bai Qi and swallowing eight tenths of it himself.

  Bai Qi also knew that the Inverse Scale Spear had been severed, and to restore it to its original state as a divine artifact would require an enormous amount of heavenly and earthly essence. Being able to return two-tenths of it to himself was already a lot.

  But what kind of weapon can cut off the Inverse Scale Spear? This is the Qing Emperor's immortal soldier.

  Bai Qi thought to himself as he swallowed a piece of jade into the mysterious space, the Inverse Scale Spear accepted all comers, swallowing the jade and spitting out a cyan gold-colored aura. This time, however, it also spat out some residual jade fragments.

  Bai Qi was now certain that the Inverse Scale Spear could help him cultivate, as long as he could provide enough elixirs or jade stones. Of course, directly devouring demons would also work, and perhaps... perhaps he could even devour cultivators?

  Thinking of this, Bai Qi couldn't help but shudder. If he did it himself, he would probably become addicted to it, wouldn't that be the devil's way?

  The ancient demonic path is not impossible to achieve immortality, but the demonic path is a matter of plundering and fighting with other cultivators throughout one's life. Once defeated, one will die and their Dao will be extinguished. This is not an easy road, but rather an extremely difficult path of cultivation.

  The Heavenly Court has been established, and the Heavenly Tribulation is under its control. The path to immortality for this demonic cultivator will become increasingly narrow.

  The calamity of the demon cultivators is dozens of times stronger than that of ordinary Qi cultivators. Those who can achieve immortality are less than one percent of the orthodox Qi cultivators. Yu Linzhong once told Bai Qi that in ancient times, when the nine states were not yet broken and the heaven and earth's primordial energy was extremely dense, demon cultivators could still roam freely. However, now even the ancient immortal realms have disappeared, and the heaven and earth's primordial energy has been absorbed by the major sects' blessed lands and grotto heavens. The survival of demon cultivators in the outside world is extremely difficult.

  The cultivators of Qi gave up on the demonic path, it was also an unavoidable thing.

  The two paths of Righteous and Evil mutually hone each other, greatly helping to improve their strength. However, in this current era, the primordial energy appears somewhat scarce, and the Qi Refiners cannot afford to lose any more.

  It's better not to do this, thinking of Su Meng's sword, if you offend some big shot, they will come after your life, and there will be no place for you to hide in the nine states.

  A cultivator goes against heaven and walks in a contrary way, but must have a reverent heart; otherwise, he can only die faster than ordinary people.
