Chapter 96

After laughing for a while, Yue Fangxing said, "Senior Brother, can you explain the Suxing Dafa (Absorbing Stars Technique) so we can study it together and see if we can solve the problem of the foreign true qi?"

Linghuchong had obtained the Suxing Dafa by chance and did not cherish it much. Moreover, he knew his junior brother was upright and had extremely high martial arts skills, so he was not worried that he would cause harm to the martial world after learning the Suxing Dafa. Therefore, he did not hold back and explained everything.

After hearing the incantation of the Suxing Dafa, Yue Fangxing felt that it was very different from the internal skills he had learned throughout his life, yet it was extremely exquisite, perhaps even the most profound internal skill he had ever seen. After pondering for a while, he sighed, "Such a skill is missing the most important part, which is truly a pity. Senior Brother should not use this skill anymore. The more foreign true qi you absorb, the more mixed the true qi in your body will become, and the faster it will flare up."

Linghuchong nodded. Since he knew it was a demonic skill, he would naturally not use it again.

"Back when I fought Ren Woxing, I noticed that he always used a tyrannical internal force. Is the power of the Suxing Dafa always so tyrannical?" Yue Fangxing asked.

Linghuchong replied, "Of course not. I think Lord Ren has fused the foreign true qi in his body into a tyrannical true qi."

"Has Senior Brother tried to fuse these true qi together?" Yue Fangxing asked.

Linghuchong shook his head and said, "Of course I have tried, but I have no clue. Lord Ren, a genius, spent over a decade to succeed. I am young and inexperienced, how can I compare to him!"

"Not so, Senior Brother is young but has such high skills, how can you be inferior to Ren Woxing? He could create a fusion method, why can't Senior Brother? Besides, we have me, Master, and Senior Uncle Feng in the Huashan Sect. Together, can we be inferior to Ren Woxing?" Yue Fangxing said. He was not convinced by Ren Woxing's coercion to use the suppression method, largely due to this confidence. If you can think of a way, why can't we? Even if we can't, we can always go to Shaolin with three top experts and get the *Yijinjing* (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) no matter what. Why should we beg for your flawed suppression method and be coerced?

Linghuchong's eyes lit up upon hearing this: Yes! If Ren Woxing can create a fusion method, why can't I? He became a top expert at a young age, so he was naturally confident that he was not inferior to Ren Woxing. He was greatly invigorated.

"Junior Brother, I have thought of a method, Senior Brother can try it!" Yue Fangxing smiled. He had seen Ping Yizhi's medical notes and combined his own knowledge to have some insights on how to eliminate the foreign true qi in Linghuchong's body.

Linghuchong was overjoyed and asked, "What method?" Concerning his life, although he was confident, it was better to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Hearing that his junior brother had a method, he was extremely delighted!

Yue Fangxing did not answer but asked, "Can Senior Brother cultivate true qi on your own now?" If Linghuchong could not cultivate true qi on his own, this method would be useless. However, since Yue Fangxing mentioned he had a method, he had some idea that Linghuchong could cultivate true qi on his own. After all, in the original story, Linghuchong could cultivate the *Yijinjing*, so he should be able to cultivate true qi.

Linghuchong nodded and said, "My dantian is empty, of course, I can cultivate true qi." The Suxing Dafa disperses the dantian true qi into the meridians and focuses on the Zhongshan Qihai (Sea of Qi), making the dantian less important, so it can be cleared to cultivate other true qi.

Yue Fangxing said, "This makes it easier. As long as Senior Brother can cultivate the Zixia (Purple Mist) true qi in the dantian, and then quickly strengthen it by absorbing the Zixia true qi left in your body by Master, it will naturally counter the other foreign true qi. Then let the two true qi wear each other down, refining the Zixia true qi in your body. This way, the foreign true qi in Senior Brother's body will not cause harm." He paused and added, "However, this will render the Suxing Dafa useless, and..."

"And this mutual consumption will greatly damage my skills. Right, Junior Brother!" Linghuchong said.

Yue Fangxing nodded, indeed, if the two true qi wear each other down, Linghuchong's skills would definitely be greatly damaged.

Linghuchong laughed and said, "The Suxing Dafa is a demonic skill, what's the point of keeping it? As a Huashan disciple, I should cultivate the sect's internal skills. Besides, my main skill is in swordsmanship, so some damage to my skills is not a big deal. It's not my own, so it's not as satisfactory to use." Indeed, Ren Woxing had absorbed the skills of countless people but did not become the best in the world, clearly unable to fully utilize them. In the end, he had to suppress the foreign true qi, and even Fangzheng's skills surpassed his.

Even so, Yue Fangxing explained how to wear down and eliminate the foreign true qi. This method was from Ping Yizhi's medical notes, and he had some confidence in it.

Saying is easier than doing, so Linghuchong immediately began to cultivate the Zixia true qi. Having cultivated the Zixia Divine Skill before, and with no interference in his dantian, he successfully cultivated a strand of Zixia true qi after a few attempts.

Feeling the Zixia true qi in his body, Linghuchong was slightly excited. After several months, he finally had his own cultivated true qi again, and he realized how precious it was after losing it.

Linghuchong carefully protected this strand of true qi and slowly adjusted a thread of the Zixia true qi that Yue Buqun had input into his body, merging it into this strand. With several foreign true qi in his meridians, it was difficult to cultivate his own true qi through the circulation of the body, so he had to use this method to quickly strengthen it. Although this made his true qi less pure, it was not a big problem as long as he refined it over time.

Fortunately, although these two strands of true qi were not from the same source, they were from the same skill and had very similar properties, so Linghuchong's fusion went smoothly. He slowly adjusted the Zixia true qi left by Yue Buqun into his dantian and fully integrated it.

Yue Fangxing stood guard beside him, slightly anxious. Even though he knew from the original story that Linghuchong could cultivate the *Yijinjing* true qi, he was not sure if he could smoothly cultivate the Zixia true qi. After all, although both were powerful skills, the Zixia Divine Skill was a level below the *Yijinjing* and could not achieve the same effect.

Seeing Linghuchong sitting quietly, Yue Fangxing felt slightly relieved. Whether successful or not, there was no problem. And from his expression, it seemed to be going smoothly.

After several hours, Linghuchong finally opened his eyes, stood up, and looked refreshed and radiant.

Yue Fangxing was overjoyed and asked, "Senior Brother, did it go smoothly?" Although he had already guessed the result, he still wanted to confirm.

Linghuchong was extremely delighted and playfully said, "Junior Brother's method is unparalleled! Senior Brother did not fail the mission!" He had completely integrated the Zixia true qi left by Yue Buqun and used it to eliminate three strands of foreign true qi, then incorporated the remaining foreign true qi into the Zhongshan Qihai. Now he could circulate the Zixia true qi in his meridians and cultivate it. This way, the Zixia true qi would gradually surpass the other five strands of foreign true qi and eliminate them, which was inevitable.

Since being injured by the foreign true qi, Linghuchong had faced many twists and turns. First, Yue Fangxing, Yue Buqun, and Ning Zhongze suppressed the foreign true qi and used their Zixia true qi to heal him. Then, his Zixia true qi was scattered by a mysterious person, and he had to be treated by Yue Buqun, although his life was saved, the foreign true qi in his body increased, making it difficult to treat. Next, on the Yellow River, he drank the Five Treasure Flower Honey Wine from the Wudu Sect, making his condition even more chaotic, and Ping Yizhi died from overthinking. Then he was sent to Shaolin Temple, where he refused to be a disciple of Fangzheng, cutting off the hope of learning the *Yijinjing* to eliminate the foreign true qi. Later, he accidentally learned the Suxing Dafa, thinking he was finally cured, but was told that the Suxing Dafa had hidden dangers. It had truly been a series of disasters.

Now, although the隐患 (hidden dangers) in Linghuchong's body were not completely gone, he was finally on the right path. It was a great relief, and he could not help but be overjoyed. Moreover, after this incident, not only had his skills greatly increased, but he had also opened the Zhongshan Qihai. Even with some damage, his skills would inevitably return to the top level! To reach such a realm from a near-top level in just a year and open the path to the top level was truly a cause for celebration!

Yue Fangxing said, "Congratulations, Senior Brother!" He added, "In the future, Senior Brother just needs to use the other foreign true qi to refine your own true qi. Don't rush, or if your own true qi is too little, there might be other problems." Linghuchong had eliminated three strands of foreign true qi at once, and his Zixia true qi was greatly damaged. Now he could only use his own true qi to fight, and he could not let it drop too much, or he might fall below the top level. Even with high sword skills, it would be difficult to face top experts.

Linghuchong nodded. He had been too excited and eliminated three strands of foreign true qi at once, consuming more than half of the Zixia true qi Yue Buqun had input into his body, greatly reducing his skills. In the future, he would have to control it to avoid excessive damage. If his skills dropped further, he might fall below the top level.
