Chapter 100

In the dark and gloomy underground, a sword gleamed.

With a dull thud, a rock, about half a person's height and as large as a millstone, fell to the ground.

Qin Xianyu lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Masters of inner strength can easily cut down large trees and overturn carriages. Grandmasters of martial arts can cleave through solid rock and easily split stones."

Now, Qin Xianyu had already released his true qi, and it was more profound than that of ordinary peak cultivators. Without even considering the subtleties of secret sword techniques, the mere force of his ordinary movements surpassed that of grandmasters of martial arts.

Although the long sword in his hand was just an ordinary one used by the guards of the mansion, with his true qi enhancement, it still had the sharpness to split stones.

"This sword is still a bit inferior. Although it can cleave through rocks with my thirteen-inch true qi, its quality is ordinary, and it has already suffered some damage. The hilt is even a bit loose," Qin Xianyu thought to himself. "This time, when I go out, I should get a better sword, at least one forged from hundred-refined steel."

Steel is solid, and fine steel is of superior quality after forging. Hundred-refined steel, however, is the best quality steel, having been hammered and refined a thousand times. Even the weapons of grandmasters of martial arts are mostly made from hundred-refined steel.

"Calculating carefully, I have been in this cave for nearly two months."

Qin Xianyu drank all the spirit liquid to deal with the Ghost King, nearly unable to digest it, and almost ended up with his body collapsing.

Fortunately, the innate primordial qi is the source of life, and it did not cause much harm to his body. Additionally, his body had been greatly improved by the long-term effects of the spirit liquid. Qin Xianyu had anticipated this and took the risk to break through without changing his expression.

Originally, Qin Xianyu only planned to cultivate the release of true qi, stopping at about nine inches. However, the spirit liquid was highly effective, boosting him to twelve inches of true qi.

Among the cultivators in the world, once they reach nine inches of true qi, they are considered at the peak of the qi cultivation stage. After that, they should condense sha qi, or they will stagnate. Even if they continue to practice diligently, it would be like pouring water into an already full basin, which will eventually overflow. However, Master Guanxu, who practiced the Purple Mansion Divine Court Primordial Qi True Technique, could cultivate thirteen inches of true qi.

Therefore, after cultivating twelve inches of true qi, Qin Xianyu did not stop but continued to practice in the underground cave. He only went to the cave entrance to breathe and relax when he felt depressed.

After nearly two months, with the help of the residual spirit liquid in his body, he pushed his twelve inches of true qi to thirteen inches, reaching the peak of the qi cultivation stage.

"In two months, I only managed to increase my true qi by one inch, showing that cultivation without the help of spirit liquid is indeed much slower."

Qin Xianyu was unaware that his progress of increasing his true qi by one inch in two months would be astonishing if it were known. He thought to himself, "No matter what, I have finally cultivated thirteen inches of true qi, truly reaching the peak of the Purple Mansion Divine Court Primordial Qi True Technique."

After reaching thirteen inches of true qi, Qin Xianyu tried to continue practicing, but the true qi he cultivated would always overflow.

When a basin is already full of water, pouring more water into it will naturally cause it to overflow.

However, while other cultivators at the peak of qi cultivation can only hold nine inches of true qi, Qin Xianyu's peak can hold thirteen inches of true qi.

He silently practiced, feeling his true qi abundant and his spirit and energy at an unprecedented level.

"I don't know how to make the wind from the release of true qi stronger, as no one has taught me such techniques. But my true qi is thirteen inches, much higher than the usual nine inches. How strong would the wind be?"

Qin Xianyu thought, "When I had twelve inches of true qi, it seemed stronger than what Master Guanxu described in his notes about his own thirteen inches of true qi, and also stronger than the wind from the girl's release of true qi. However, both of them knew the techniques for releasing true qi, while I do not."

"If twelve inches of true qi is already this strong, what about thirteen inches?"

Qin Xianyu stood still, closing his eyes, and a wind began to blow from his body, gradually becoming stronger.

The human body has many acupoints, but the 365 acupoints are the most valued by cultivators. According to ancient texts, these 365 acupoints correspond to the 365 stars in the sky. After cultivating the release of true qi, these 365 acupoints can breathe and exhale like the mouth and nose.

Even if the mouth and nose are held, the acupoints can still breathe.

The breathing of cultivators is naturally more prolonged.

Thus, the breathing from these 365 acupoints forms the wind.

However, the wind blowing from Qin Xianyu's body was clearly much stronger.

A strong wind blew, raising dust and rolling the rock, which weighed several hundred pounds, into the end of the passage.

"Almost as strong as the wind when Master Guanxu transmitted his skills," Qin Xianyu opened his eyes slightly and muttered to himself, "It seems that the strong wind when Master Guanxu transmitted his skills was mainly due to the improvement of his body by the jade pill. So, now that I have cultivated the release of true qi, I also have a similar level of wind."

After reaching the peak of qi cultivation, Qin Xianyu tried to continue practicing. When he realized there was no more progress, he knew that thirteen inches of true qi could not be further increased, so he decided to start condensing sha qi.

However, condensing sha qi is indeed dangerous and requires caution. Since he had only recently cultivated thirteen inches of true qi, he still needed to practice.

Therefore, Qin Xianyu forcibly suppressed his desire to condense sha qi, calmed his mind, and began to refine his true qi.

Before that, he still wanted to explore the various skills at the peak of qi cultivation. Although he would soon start condensing sha qi and be able to use divine techniques, which would mark his success in cultivation, the skills at the peak of qi cultivation would no longer be very useful. However, Qin Xianyu still wanted to understand the various techniques at this stage.

"After cultivating the sha qi, I will no longer be at the qi cultivation stage but at a higher realm with more techniques," Qin Xianyu thought. "Before I reach the sha qi stage, I should experience the skills at the qi cultivation stage to avoid regretting not having a thorough understanding of this stage in the future. After all, this stage also trapped Master Guanxu for many years, and I can experience many of his feelings at this stage."

He had already tried the strength of his true qi and the characteristics of the release of true qi. Now, he just needed to refine his true qi.

However, before that, Qin Xianyu still wanted to try the power of his palm thunder at the peak of qi cultivation.

He took out a thunder talisman from his pocket, which he had drawn that morning and enhanced with the cultivation of the release of true qi. It was of higher quality and had better characteristics than the previous thunder talismans.

Qin Xianyu raised his hand, and the wind blew the thunder talisman into the air.

The thunder talisman, blown by the wind, burned on its own and turned to ashes.

The bright light from the burning thunder talisman was like a bolt of lightning.

With the lightning came the thunder.

In the silent and gloomy underground, a thunderclap echoed.

Thunder roared in the underground.

PS: This chapter is a summary of the qi cultivation stage.

Additionally, when I checked yesterday, I found that a paragraph was missing from the previous chapter. I realized that sometimes I forget to save the document, causing parts to be omitted when uploading. I will be more careful in the future.
