Chapter 369: Chapter 338: You Xi’s New Race

In the end, Tan Xiaofei accepted Lin Qianxuan’s setting as a genius.

At this point, Lin Qianxuan could finally move more freely.

The study at home didn’t restrict him, and Ji Shengquan could also let him access more cultivation techniques.

It’s as if the accumulation of the Lanxi Sect for hundreds of years unfolded before Lin Qianxuan.

Lin Qianxuan could read a large amount of martial arts.

Whether it was techniques or inner strength, he could access them.

He thirstily absorbed knowledge, enriching his own foundation.

After reading a certain amount of martial arts, Lin Qianxuan also achieved a new milestone.

[Tip: You have read over a hundred kinds of martial arts, obtaining the “One in a Hundred” level milestone [All Martial Arts are in the Heart].]

[All Martial Arts are in the Heart: Martial Arts Mastery +1. (Note: Your reserve of martial arts knowledge has surpassed many people.)]

Martial arts mastery increased Lin Qianxuan’s efficiency in learning martial arts.

He could master a martial art more quickly, with a very fast grasp of it.

With sufficient foundation, Lin Qianxuan began to deduce and research martial arts in large quantities.

The martial arts he wrote came one after another, with some high-level and some low-level, involving various paths of meridian circulation.

Of course, not all were excellent martial arts, and most were garbage, just a bit of superfluous modification to existing techniques, which could be called drawing legs on a snake.

Lin Qianxuan just wanted to hit a milestone.

Sure enough, after he created a hundred martial arts, he obtained a new “One in a Thousand” level milestone.

[Martial Arts Creation Frenzy: Martial Arts Creation +3. (Note: It seems you have an unimaginable obsession with creating martial arts.)]

With the addition of three points to martial arts creation attributes, Lin Qianxuan felt more at ease when creating martial arts.

And now it was no longer like drawing legs on a snake, but he could instantly come up with coherent optimizations.

With a slight touch, he could understand the strengths and weaknesses of a martial art, and know how to modify it to reach the upper limit.

He continued to deduce martial arts in large quantities, even improving his own cultivated inner power to make it as suitable for himself as possible.

During this process, Lin Qianxuan discovered that the possibilities of inner qi were actually high, but many people didn’t really care about cultivating at the inner qi realm, thinking only of the innate realm.

This is because humans themselves are limited, while heaven and earth are limitless.

Relying solely on oneself to refine inner qi throughout a lifetime wouldn’t yield much.

But upon reaching the innate realm.

Even if it’s just one meridian point, the true qi absorbed in a month can be comparable to ten years of postnatal inner qi.

This efficiency ensured that the inner qi realm was always just a transitional stage, not receiving much attention.

But in Lin Qianxuan’s research, inner qi in fact had a stronger nurturing capability for oneself, and martial artists also had better control over their own inner qi, capable of more refined operations.

Inner qi is the life energy refined from life essence qi, the energy most suitable for oneself.

It has irreplaceable aspects.

For example, healing injuries, promoting development, and so on.

If one continuously nourishes oneself with inner qi, one can evolve oneself to a very powerful extent.

In theory, it’s even possible to achieve a second development, extending one’s life by hundreds of years.

Lin Qianxuan deduced a few martial arts again, all of which were inner power techniques.

This time he dared to say he surpassed the inner power techniques of the “Blue Creek Scripture.”

Among these inner powers, one was practiced by Lin Qianxuan himself; the others were theoretical suggestions proposed by Lin Qianxuan at the theoretical limit.

What Lin Qianxuan himself practiced was a technique that could utilize one’s own life essence qi to extract inner qi to the greatest extent, thereby systematically enhancing the five viscera and six bowels, enhancing the physique, essentially an upgraded version of previous techniques.

And the techniques at the theoretical limit were different.

One of these inner powers, called the “Infinite Celestial Spirit True Technique.”

In Lin Qianxuan’s conception, it was a technique for cultivating at the inner qi realm without opening the Bridge of Heaven and Earth.

Through this technique, one could continuously compress inner qi within the body, enhancing its quality, transforming it into substantial gang qi, gradually strengthening physique and spirit, thereby evolving bit by bit.

Theoretically, as long as one reaches the limits Lin Qianxuan envisioned, strength could reach the Peak of Celestial Rank.

Of course, the difficulty of cultivation was also very high.

The technique consisted of a total of one hundred and thirty-three layers, easy to practice in the beginning but increasingly difficult later on, theoretically taking an ordinary person over twelve thousand years to complete.

So, theoretical things sometimes are truly intriguing.

However, it was also a good reference route.

Even if others can’t practice it, Lin Qianxuan still felt it might be possible for himself.

As long as he could obtain corresponding milestone enhancements, increasing efficiency in refining inner qi, the difficulty factor wouldn’t be too high.

Time passed by, and Lin Qianxuan was now five years old.

By then, Lin Qianxuan had reached a height of 1.3 meters, with considerable depth in inner qi cultivation, almost reaching the peak of the second-rate.

That day, while he was practicing palm techniques in the yard, a large colorful feathered bird with a wingspan of seven or eight meters landed in the yard.

As it landed, it transformed into a bird of similar height to Lin Qianxuan, affectionately rubbing his cheek.

“It’s you!”

Lin Qianxuan instantly realized, who else could this be but You Xi?

“Why did you turn into a bird?” Lin Qianxuan asked, stroking her head.

“Chirp~!” You Xi called out.

Lin Qianxuan couldn’t understand, but without milestone support, he roughly guessed what she meant.

It seemed that reincarnation was a random species, not necessarily human.

Birds, insects, even plants could exist.

Thus, Lin Qianxuan gained a bird as a companion beside him.

You Xi herself was extraordinary, seemingly an extraordinary beast.

Tan Xiaofei and Ji Yao were amazed and expressed shock at Lin Qianxuan’s ability to gain the recognition of such a beast, then became even more certain that Lin Qianxuan had extraordinary fortune and talent.

After You Xi’s arrival, Lin Qianxuan no longer limited himself to playing nearby; riding You Xi, he could travel to cities at the foot of the mountain, easily traversing dozens of miles in a day and returning.

In the beginning, Ji Yao was somewhat worried, but later, after Lin Qianxuan won their match, Ji Yao no longer objected.

Don’t be fooled by Lin Qianxuan’s mere second-tier inner power cultivation, as most of his inner qi has been used to enhance his body. His attributes are no worse than those of ordinary first-tier experts.

Moreover, considering his combat experience and skills, he can fight anyone below the Innate level. Even if he can’t win, he can escape, not to mention that You Xi is with him.

….

….

Under the night, fifty miles outside of Lanxi City, on a small mountain path.

Bai Yongxiang and his subordinates were hurrying along with a batch of Qi Nourishing Pills being sent to the Lanxi Sect.

The Bai Family is a prominent family in Purple Flower City, known for their exceptional pharmaceutical skills. Qi Nourishing Pills are their biggest industry, and several cities around regularly purchase this pill in large quantities to provide to the sect disciples as a welfare.

The main function of Qi Nourishing Pills is to help Postnatal Realm martial artists refine their inner qi.

One Qi Nourishing Pill can save at least half a month’s hard work.

Therefore, this pill is also quite valuable.

In the past, they always traveled during the day to deliver this task.

And there wouldn’t be any risk.

But now, the situation has changed.

The Mountain Master of the Lanxi Sect has been in seclusion for a long time, causing some unrest around Lanxi City.

Many shipments to Lanxi City have been hijacked several times.

Either the escorts were killed.

It was evident that someone wanted to trouble the Lanxi Sect, testing their current situation.

And the Lanxi Sect seemed to be delayed by some matters and couldn’t investigate fully.

Yet, the business could not be stopped, so Bai Yongxiang chose to change tactics and deliver the goods at night using a small path.

This way, their target would be much smaller.

The team advanced slowly, with only the faint light of lanterns illuminating the narrow path.

Suddenly, figures emerged among the mountains and forests, rapidly rushing towards Bai Yongxiang’s convoy.

“Someone, be careful!”

With just one warning, the two sides had already clashed.

Beneath the weapons, lives quickly disappeared.

Bai Yongxiang drew his sword and performed the Bai Family Sword Technique, disregarding the consumption of inner qi. He fully infused it into the sword, causing it to emit a short sword light. With two or three clashes, he killed a black-clad man on the spot and saved one of his own, then shouted, “Gather around!”

At this moment, the greatest fear is being scattered, and only by uniting can they stand a chance to fight.

Under Bai Yongxiang’s call, all the survivors gathered around. With Bai Yongxiang’s hard strength, they killed two more, and the remaining black-clad men dared not approach any longer, only surrounding them, temporarily calming the scene.

Bai Yongxiang was about to speak some words of retreat, when a figure wielding a knife suddenly rushed out from the black-clad men.

The blade was swift, almost slashing to Bai Yongxiang in an instant.

This knife carried great force; even with both hands on the sword, Bai Yongxiang could not completely block it, only managing to roll his body awkwardly, avoiding the attack.

“Swish~!”

“Crack~!”

The Sword Qi split open the carriage frame behind him, and then the blade continued to slash.

“A first-rate expert!!”

In an instant, Bai Yongxiang assessed the opponent’s strength.

In this Jianghu, being in entry level classifies one as a good hand.

His second-tier inner qi cultivation was already enough to make a name for himself.

As for first-rate experts, they are generally not seen.

That level of strength is considered a backbone of a sect, an elite among elites, with the potential to break through to Innate.

Never did Bai Yongxiang expect that he would be lucky enough to have an Innate expert rob him.

“Clang~!”

The blade and sword collided, tremendous force sent Bai Yongxiang flying backwards, his hands trembled, and a huge gap appeared on the sword blade.

He opened his mouth to speak, but blood spurted from his mouth.

That strike had already shattered his internal organs.

“Swish~!”

Another slash came, with inner qi attached, the blade light flickered like flowing light.

Bai Yongxiang dared not take it head-on, struggling to use his body technique to evade, but still couldn’t completely avoid it.

“Pffft~!”

The blade swept down from his right shoulder, severing his right arm at the shoulder, as if encountering no resistance.

“Ah~!”

Bai Yongxiang cried out in pain, and yet another slash was already coming.

This time, there was no escape.

“Whoosh~!”

The sound of breaking air came, the black-clad man’s blade abruptly changed direction before striking Bai Yongxiang, sweeping towards the sky.

“Clang~!”

A flying spear collided with the blade, the tremendous force causing the black-clad man’s toes to tap the ground continuously, his body flying backward and retreating several meters, withdrawing over ten meters.

He then looked towards the sky in astonishment and uncertainty.

“Screech~!”

A colorful Simurgh descended from the sky, a figure leaping from dozens of meters in the air, landing lightly without making a sound.

On closer inspection, it was a young boy in green about 1.3 to 1.4 meters tall.

Lin Qianxuan pulled out the spear stuck in the ground, looked at the black-clad man opposite, and said, “It was not in vain that I patrolled around for several months, finally catching you.”
