Chapter 33 Junior Sister Xu Wants to Follow

It wasn’t until they reached the Yuxu Peak that the Kunlun disciples finally descended. Their faces were filled with relief and fear.

“As expected of Senior Brother Qiu!” After a while, someone said sincerely, “If not for Senior Brother Qiu assistance this time, we would definitely be doomed!”

Everyone thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. In addition, Qiu Changtian really did not obtain any benefits on this trip, so they hurriedly flattered him, afraid that he would not come for the next mission.

“We will never forget Senior Brother Qiu’s kindness!”

“We will remember Senior Brother Qiu’s righteousness!”

“Senior Brother Qiu, I can’t repay your kindness. I’m willing to give myself to you!”

“Go, go, go!” Soon, the female disciples present pushed the female disciple out of the circle to prevent her from continuing her silliness.

Qiu Changtian smiled awkwardly but politely as he dealt with the disciples’ flattery.

Xu Yinglian, who no one cared about, stood alone outside the circle. She stared blankly at Qiu Changtian, who was surrounded by people. No one knew what she was thinking.

After returning to Gold Ridge, Qiu Changtian continued to cultivate lightning techniques for a few days.

Combined with his combat experience in the leyline ruins, he had already confirmed Jade Pivot Lightning’s greatest flaw. It was too powerful!

The advantage of this lightning technique was that it could be released quickly, consumed a lot of True Qi, and was extremely destructive. It was a high explosive attack method.

However, it was also because it was too powerful that there was no way to control its strength and retract it freely.

In the leyline ruins, the rubble that exploded at the beginning almost smashed his face. When the second passageway was blown up, Qiu Changtian deliberately wanted to control the power of the lightning technique.

In the end, he realized that there was no way to control it. He was overjoyed.

The palm-sized ball of lightning shrank to the size of a seal, but it was still extremely powerful. If it exploded within a step, the aftershock would even hurt him… Don’t ask how Qiu Changtian knew.

Because of this, Jade Pivot Lightning’s information had to be kept as secret as possible. If too many people knew about it, it would be easy to crack.

For example, when lightning was shot out, the opponent would shoot out a flying sword in advance.

As the speed of the flying sword far exceeded the lightning, it only needed to collide with the lightning the moment it was shot out to detonate in advance and blow up Qiu Changtian himself… That would be too stupid.

He shouted “break the divine lightning” and it exploded on the spot, his entire body covered in blood. If there were onlookers present, the synchronization value of his invincible persona would probably fall through

In short, the Jade Pivot Lightning was suitable as a trump card and could only be used as a trump card.

On that morning, Qiu Changtian was in his cave abode as usual, explaining the Nine Heavens Clarity Entering Enlightenment Mantra to his junior brothers and sisters.

After that, it was time to answer the questions.

“Senior Brother Qiu,” Yan Zhitui suddenly asked, “I heard that you’ve recently cultivated a very powerful Dao technique. Can you tell us about it?”

“Cough, cough.” Qju Changtian coughed a few times, and his mind quickly spun.

First of all, it was best to keep Jade Pivot Lightning’s matter a secret. Junior Sister Xu was too familiar with him, so he couldn’t hide it from her. But there’s no need to tell others.

Secondly, he could not refuse immediately.

After all, it was not good to hide any trump cards when he’s got an invincible character.

After thinking for a while, Qiu Changtian smiled and asked, “Junior Brother Yan, let me ask you first: Do you know what the ‘two techniques and two treasures’?”

“The so-called ‘two techniques’ are Qi Refinement techniques and Dao techniques. The so-called ‘two treasures’ are magic swords and Dharma treasures,” Yan Zhitui said cautiously. “I wonder if I’m right?”

“That’s right.” Qiu Changtian nodded and explained to his junior brothers and sisters. “The ‘two techniques’ is based on the Qi Refinement Technique because only the Qi Refinement Technique determines the most crucial cultivation realm. Without a sufficient cultivation realm, no matter how powerful a Dao technique is, it’s just an empty building.

“The ‘two treasures’ respect the magic sword because there is a sealed technique on the magic sword. It can be used immediately after refinement.

“If you don’t use the magic sword to cultivate your own Dao technique, it will undoubtedly occupy your Qi Refinement time. If one’s Qi Refinement is slow, their cultivation realm will increase slowly, which will affect their lifespan.

“Ordinary people can only live for about a hundred years. If they successfully enter the Purification realm, they can extend it to two hundred years. Golden Cores can extend to eight hundred. Nascent Souls can extend to five thousand. After that, they can ascend to immortality.

“Compared to the time needed to cultivate and advance, the extended lifespan can be said to be very insufficient, so…”

Before Qiu Changtian could finish, he heard Guan Zhan sneer and say, “Therefore, instead of asking about any Dao techniques, it’s better to focus on refining Qi and increasing our cultivation.

“Senior Brother Qiu’s has the Enlightened Dao Heart, and the speed of your cultivation improvement far exceeds that of ordinary people. Back then, even when he opened his sea of vital energy, it only took him half a day! That’s why he had the time to study a Dao technique.

“How long did it take you to clear the ‘Trial of Three Gates’ back then? It took you half a month! How are you qualified to ask for Dao techniques?”

[Invincible persona, synchronization value+1]

Qiu Changtian: …

Although Junior Brother Guan usually had an ice-cold face and often spoke too bluntly and mercilessly, he was actually quite cute.

While he was secretly relieved, Chen Zhen and Zhong Tianhuai were a little indignant. Yan Zhitui was not angry. He only bowed and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Guan.”

“Junior Brother Guan is right, but it’s a little too obvious.” Qiu Changtian smiled and said, “If everyone intends to stay in the sect forever, it’s fine.

“If you want to go out and train, it’s necessary to practice some Dao techniques to protect yourself.

“After all, the Dao techniques on the flying sword are often compatible with the attributes of the flying sword itself. If you encounter an enemy that counters the attributes of your flying sword and you don’t have any other methods to turn the tables, you’ll be in danger.”

“Senior Brother Qiu is right!” Chen Zhen and Zhong Tianhuai deliberately shouted.

Guan Zhan’s expression changed slightly (he felt like he had been slapped in the face). However, he did not have much experience in going out to train, and Senior Brother Qiu was already a king in this aspect, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.

“Alright.” Qiu Changtian clapped his hands and said, “In short, everyone still needs to focus on refining Qi to increase your cultivation level. If you want to increase your self-protection methods, you can follow me out to train in private. I’ll see where your flaws and deficiencies in actual combat are before giving targeted suggestions.”

Everyone nodded in thanks and stood up to leave.

Only Xu Yinglian remained sitting quietly on the meditation cushion.

Seeing that everyone else had left, Qiu Changtian smiled and said, “Junior Sister, what’s the matter?”

“I want to cultivate a Dao technique,” Xu Yinglian said concisely.

Qiu Changtian did not answer immediately. He only pondered for a moment and asked, “You want to imitate me because I’ve mastered a Dao technique?”

Xu Yinglian sneered and said, “If Senior Brother is afraid that I will catch up to you, you can choose not to guide me.”

Qiu Changtian smiled. “Junior Sister Xu, what kind of person do you think I am? Well, with your aptitude, it’s not a problem for you to cultivate Dao techniques. It’s just that the specific Dao technique you choose depends on your goal…”

“The goal is to surpass your lightning technique!” Xu Yinglian blurted out without thinking

“Why are you always aiming at me?” Qiu Changtian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Can’t you focus on ‘perfecting yourself’?”

Xu Yinglian was silent for a moment before suddenly smiling. “Didn’t Senior Brother once say that it’s really lonely to walk alone on the path of cultivation? That you have no regrets when I’m following you? If my strength is far inferior to yours, how can you make me follow you?”

“Ahem.” Qiu Changtian’s guard was accidentally broken by her beautiful smile. He hurriedly turned his head to adjust his expression, then said with a bitter smile, “Yinglian, why did you suddenly confess to me? You scared me…”

“I didn’t confess to you!” Xu Yinglian jumped up and said angrily, “I would rather chase after you than be left behind!”

At this point, she realized that there was still some ambiguity in it. She quickly tried to salvage the situation.

“Of course, catching up to you is the first step. The second step is to surpass you! Then… you’ll be the one left behind, Qiu Changtian!”

“I’ll look forward to it, Junior Sister,” Qiu Changtian said with a smile.

Xu Yinglian gritted her teeth in anger.

The Kunlun Mirror, which had been observing the two of them, could not stand seeing him bully his junior sister like this. It hurriedly secretly opened a corner of the mirror.

While weakening the invincible setting, it also released his true temperament. Remove the psychic cue again! Seeing that her senior brother did not care about her provocation and even revealed a mocking and arrogant smile, Xu Yinglian was so angry that she almost trembled. She felt that her blood was about to rush to her head.

Suddenly, she realized that her senior brother’s temperament seemed to have changed.

He no longer looked like the arrogant and cold “god” who had always looked down on her.

At this moment, the gentle smile on the other party’s face was more like that of a childhood friend. With the expectations for their future, he made a friendly promise to her that “she would surpass him”…

The blood rushing to her head suddenly receded, and her body gradually felt strangely hot.

In order to hide the inexplicable tiny throbbing in her chest, Xu Yinglian turned her head away and said in a barely audible voice, “Hmph, just you wait and see. Qiu Changtian!”
