Chapter 25: The Ninefold Mysterious Qi

  The moonlight descended, and the noisy earth finally quieted down. At this time, in a small house in the Ye family's residence, a young man sat cross-legged. This young man had clear eyebrows and eyes, his face was as flawless as cut crystal, and his deep black pupils shone brightly. His aura was imposing, and he was Ye Xuan.

  With the protection of Xiao Xuan Dan, Ye Xuan took it that night and started refining. As soon as a small Xuan Dan entered his body, a surge of Xuan Qi energy spread rapidly throughout his body, like a tidal wave. The impact of this energy was no longer violent for Ye Xuan now, and the Xuan Qi was quickly absorbed by his meridians. He felt as if he were soaking in a warm spring, extremely comfortable.

  Ye Xuan activated his Qi Gong technique, and as the mysterious energy surged, a familiar yet strange soft stone egg silhouette reappeared. As soon as it appeared, the small Mysterious Elixir's contained Mysterious Energy suddenly trembled, and the violent Mysterious Energy rushed towards Ye Xuan's meridians. The majestic Mysterious Energy entered Ye Xuan's body, rapidly gathering at the Mysterious Gate, causing the eight shallow gray cracks on the gate to solidify.

  An hour later, Ye Xuan felt that the Xiao Xuan Dan had been refined enough. He quickly took another Xiao Xuan Dan, and immediately, a tidal wave of Xuan Qi surged towards the Xuan Gate again. Ye Xuan immediately accelerated his Qigong technique, and the meridians in his body were like hungry children who had not eaten for several days, constantly absorbing the pure essence emitted by the Xiao Xuan Dan.

  As the small Xuan Dan was about to be refined, the Xuan Gate began to tremble, which excited Ye Xuan, because he knew that this was a sign of the Xuan Gate breaking through. The trembling of the Xuan Gate made Ye Xuan feel a violent energy flowing inside his body, constantly circulating throughout every part of his body, suddenly making him feel a thread of suffocating pain. Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and continued to operate the Qi Shen Technique.

  A drop of sweat trickled down Ye Xuan's cheek, finally stopping after about half an hour of continuous trembling in front of the mysterious gate. Nine cracks, like a coiled dragon, were etched onto the gate, revealing an extremely faint and eerie depth.

  Ninefold Mysterious Energy!

  Ye Xuan finally welcomed another breakthrough!

  Sweat drenched his black monk's robe, but Ye Xuan didn't feel a hint of fatigue. On the contrary, he felt an even more powerful force within his body. Ye Xuan swung his arm, and dense xuanqi surged rapidly, with fierce gusts of wind accompanying his fist.

  Ye Xuan looked at his own fist and suddenly burst out laughing, thinking of Si Tu Ran, that arrogant little brat. He recalled being punched by him and spitting blood. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to exchange blows with Si Tu Ran. The laughter didn't last long, as Ye Xuan then thought of his brother, Si Tu Hao, who had reached the Star Xuan Mirror a year ago. With only two months left, he wondered if he could break through to the Star Xuan Mirror himself.

  That damned Gong Sun Jian even bought Huang Sha Dan for Si Tu Ran, isn't that a sign that he's not far from Xing Xuan Realm? Thinking of the dazzling shield of Xing Xuan Realm, thinking of the strange soft stone egg, Ye Xuan's mouth corner floated with a hint of a smile again.

  ……

  The next morning, the earth was still covered with a thin layer of mist. At a glance, it seemed like a fairyland. Ye Xuan arrived at Liu Yizhu's door and knocked on it, only to find that the door was open. However, he didn't see her inside. Ye Xuan shook his head, as he had already gotten used to it - this little girl, Liu Yizhu, practiced every day from dawn till dusk, even more diligently than him.

  These days, Ye Xuan has been getting up early to practice his mysterious skills in the courtyard. The Guan Qing step has already been thoroughly practiced by Ye Xuan, and the Diamond Hand is also becoming more and more refined. Only the square palm method learned from Ye Zhenwu was thoroughly mastered, he stood with both legs steady, his vital energy condensed into his palms, a low shout, a square palm print burst out violently, tearing through the air, emitting an ear-piercing sound.

  Ye Zhenwu, who had been busy with the family business, happened to pass by the courtyard and saw Ye Xuan's palm strike. He rubbed his eyes, he really didn't dare to believe what he saw, the Eight Directions Palm! He hadn't taught it to Ye Xuan, how could this little brat use it, and even form a square shape?

  Eight Trigrams Palm, a mid-level profound technique of the barren stage. The profound energy condenses into the palm, and the palm print is struck out in a square shape. When cultivated to the peak, it can strike out eight square palm prints at once. It is said that the power of the eight square palm prints is comparable to the power of the low-level profound technique of the Hong stage. Therefore, it is named Eight Trigrams Palm. Because this palm method is extremely difficult to cultivate, only Ye Wen cultivated six palm prints in the Ye family, and except for Ye Wen, Ye Zhenwu had the best talent, but even he could only strike out five palm prints at the peak of his power in the Eighth Month Profound Realm.

  Ye Zhenwu saw Ye Xuan strike out with a Palm of Eight Directions, and was shocked to the point of being stunned, it was too unbelievable.

  Ye Xuan had just finished his palm strike and also saw Ye Zhenwu watching from a distance, who was staring at him with wide eyes as he walked towards him. As soon as he approached, he asked eagerly: "Xuan'er, how did you learn the Eight Directions Palm?"

  "Eight Directions Palm? Are you saying that this palm I just learned from you is called Eight Directions Palm?" Ye Xuan asked, suddenly enlightened.

  Ye Zhenwu was shocked by Ye Xuan's words, his jaw almost dropping. "You're telling me that you can learn it just by watching me practice a set of punches?"

  Ye Xuan then told Ye Zhenwu about the things he had secretly remembered when Ye Zhenwu taught him that set of palm techniques, and this frightening memory power once again shocked Ye Zhenwu. Ye Zhenwu suddenly thought of the powerful momentum of Ye Xuan's previous palm strike and asked: "What is your current level of skill?"

  "Hehe, whoops, looks like I broke through again!" Ye Xuan chuckled.

  This sentence almost made Ye Zhenwu faint, and if he wasn't careful, he would have broken through. What kind of talent is this? Is Xuaner born to be a cultivation genius? Yeah, it must be the case. Ye Zhenwu kept comforting himself in his heart. Because Ye Xuan had only been cultivating for a short month, but had already broken through from six layers of Profound Qi to nine layers, which was too abnormal.

  "Are you just relying on the few small Xuan Dan pills from your family to break through?" Ye Zhenwu asked in doubt.

  "I dug up a few stalks of spiritual grass from the back mountain and sold them for quite a few small Xuan Dan." Ye Xuan said with a sudden movement.

  Ye Zhenwu thought for a moment, then pulled out a Qiankun bag from his bag and threw it to Ye Xuan, saying: "There are ten small Xuan Dan inside, you take them away and use them. If they're not enough, tell me again, I'll think of a way for you!" Ye Zhenwu thought angrily, he had a talented son, he must let him cultivate well. These ten small Xuan Dan were originally his own cultivation.

  Seeing Ye Zhenwu throw the small Xuan Dan at himself, Ye Xuan was suddenly moved, almost unable to bear telling him about the auction of the magic crystal, but he couldn't say it, after all, he still understood the principle of not revealing one's wealth.

  "He hastily said: 'Dad, I still have some Xiao Xuan Dan, you keep it for yourself.'"

  Ye Zhenwu's heart warmed up when he heard Ye Xuan say that, his own son was still thinking of him at this time. He couldn't think that Ye Xuan was now rich and overflowing with wealth. He laughed generously: "You little rascal, just focus on your cultivation, Dad still has the Small Mysterious Pill, it seems like the heavens are indeed blessing the Ye family! Your talent is not inferior to your brother's at all."

  Ye Xuan had always heard that this brother was extremely talented and now he was also very much looking forward to the day when he would meet Ye Ziyan.

  Ye Xuan was thinking, Ye Zhenwu happily beckoned to Ye Xuan: "Xuan'er, come, I'll teach you all the moves of the Eight Directions Palm!"
