Chapter 5: with translation of chapter title

Name: Qin Feng

Gene: 5x (Advanced condition: Everlasting Vine Leaves, Salamander Heart, Silver Earth Dragon, Blue Silver Grass) Talent: Heaven-Man Unity, Supergod Sense

Everlasting Vine Leaves

Salamander Heart

Silver Earth Dragon

Blue Silver Grass

But note: "Silver Earth Dragon" could be "Silver Ground Dragon"? Actually "Silver Earth Dragon" literal: Silver Earth Dragon. We'll go with "Silver Earth Dragon".

Blue Silver Grass

Also "Gene: 5x" is not a name.

Cultivation: Fourth Rank

【Supergod Sense】: It allows internal perception of oneself down to the cellular level, and external perception of emotional shifts, discerning good from evil and vitality. As the user's strength grows, the ability strengthens, eventually enabling one to sense the minutiae of heaven and earth and perceive the twists of fate.

After merging with the new talent and reviewing the description, Qin Feng was shocked.

Otherwise, it's nothing.

It can even sense the subtleties of heaven and earth and perceive the changes of fate?

This concept is just outrageous.

Qin Feng closed his eyes, sensed his condition, and discovered he seemed to have another perspective, able to see everything inside his body: meridians, true qi flow, dantian operation, five viscera and six bowels, muscle twitching, etc.

He thought of a word: inner vision.

"With this ability, cultivation will definitely become much easier in the future."

Qin Feng thought, sensing from inside out and radiating outward, he immediately noticed a difference. The trees were lush and green, yet each resembled a glowing green body.

No, in the sensing, it was just emitting a faint green light, forming the shape of the tree.

Moreover, flowers and grasses, more or less, all emitted a faint green light.

At the doorway there were two human-shaped figures, inside there was a faint red light, and a green light penetrating through, merging together.

"Green is vitality, red is temperature or blood?"

Qin Feng turned his thoughts.

That was Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong.

One could also sense their breathing, heartbeat, and a hint of warm emotion tinged with worry.

"This ability is heaven-defying!"

His mind and spirit returned, and Qin Feng showed a look of shock.

He tried cultivating; spiritual qi flowed in through the sense, circulated and transformed within his body, refining while expelling impurities, like gas exchange flowing into the air.

"This is the wonder of the technique!"

However, Qin Feng still found that impurities remained in his true qi, though only a little.

In his

He suddenly understood.

Everyone possesses different innate talents and potentials, which are determined at birth, but the buildup of impurities adds to the postnatal burden, making crucial breakthroughs harder.

However, his cultivation speed increased considerably.

The night was quiet, the bright moon hanging high.

Qin Feng came to the courtyard, drew his long sword, and began practicing his sword technique.

This is the Spring Wind Rain Transforming Thirty-Six Sword, continuous and dense, leaving no opening; he has already attained perfect mastery. With a turn of the sword technique, it suddenly becomes swift, like rain striking banana leaves, fine and dense, like wind and lightning, becoming extremely fast.

This is the Swift Wind Fine Rain Sword Technique, comprising eighteen forms.

Swift as wind, fine as rain.

The offense grows stronger.

Under the moonlight, cold light flickered, forming a curtain of swords that finally converged. "Now, whether cultivating the Return to Origin Technique or mastering the sword technique, I have far surpassed before. Even the Swift Wind Fine Rain Sword Technique has reached the stage of Great Accomplishment; now I can also attempt to cultivate the Wild Rain Nine Swords."

The Spring Wind Rain Transforming Sword is the foundation, the Swift Wind Fine Rain Sword is the intermediate technique, and only the Wild Rain Nine Swords are the true killing move; this is the Qin Family Sword Secret Art.

According to Qin Feng's understanding, this sword art still has unresolved implications, seemingly able to continue evolving, but the Qin family lacks it.

"Young Master, your sword technique keeps getting better!" Xiao Qing said happily while also bringing over warm water.

Xiao Hong has already prepared tea and snacks.

"I've trained so hard, how could I not be good!" Qin Feng flung back his hand, sheathed his long sword, laughed and walked over, saying, "On the contrary, you two, find some time to train more."

"Young Master, cultivation is the guards' duty; we just need to take good care of you." While Qin Feng wiped his hands, Xiao Qing tidied his clothes.

Outside, a faint footstep sounded; it was Grandpa Fu coming, he peeked in, then entered.

After bowing and saluting, he said: "Young Master, last night's matter has been spreading wildly outside, but every family has restrained themselves considerably. On the Second Grand Master's side, movements have also decreased a lot. Today, the City Lord's Mansion sent someone to inquire, just going through the motions."

Qin Feng nodded, indicating he understood, then suddenly said: "Grandpa Fu, with our current strength, can we withstand the Xiang family or the Liu family?"

He sensed Grandpa Fu's change in mood.

It is his affection.

"Difficult!" Grandpa Fu shook his head, "If it's just one family, even if we can't defeat them, we can still injure them badly; as for joining forces? Within the city there are its own rules; the City Lord's Mansion won't allow major chaos, even if they join forces they would only secretly annex our properties; once we truly decline, then..."

He did not go on.

The implication, however, was clear: once we truly decline, not to mention the Xiang and Liu families, even the Lu and Cao families would frenziedly pounce.

"Our Qin family is not declining; we are merely experiencing a temporary downturn. Such a situation can happen to any family; under implicit rules, they won't press too hard. If after the downturn we cannot recover and instead continue to weaken, that would be the trouble." Grandpa Fu pondered, "Therefore, outsiders are watching our Qin family's next moves, especially whether you can officially assume the position of Family Head and take charge of the Qin family."

"What we fear most is internal strife." Grandpa Fu paused then said, "Throwing out Jiu Ye yesterday was a bad sign."

"He bullied people too much; I really couldn't hold back!" Qin Feng also thought of this, but didn't pay much attention, instead saying, "Grandpa Fu, I need you to handle a few things."

"Young Master, please give your orders."

"Is there a pill that can quickly increase true qi?"

"Yes! In the city there is Bai Cao Tang, which sells Bu Qi Dan; one pill can replenish all the true qi of a Third Rank Martial Dao practitioner, very expensive at one hundred taels of silver per pill."

"Not expensive!"

"Young Master, it's very expensive!" Grandpa Fu laughed, "Two taels of silver are enough to cover an ordinary family's monthly expenses."

He then solemnly said: "For a martial artist, although it seems inexpensive, since it can quickly increase true qi, this pill has a drawback: after consumption it produces pill toxin; although the amount is small, it can increase the difficulty of breakthrough. For a martial artist, this is not worth the loss, especially after taking too much, when pill toxin accumulates heavily, not only making breakthrough difficult but also affecting the circulation of true qi, causing strength to regress rather than advance. Such pills are generally only taken in dangerous situations."

"Prepare one for me tomorrow!"

"Young master, only one!"

Don't worry, Fu Ye Ye—find me another body‑refining cultivation manual; difficulty doesn't matter, I want a strong one, a high‑level one.

Okay!

Also, have someone look for Longevity Vine, salamander, and Silver Earth Dragon.

As for Blue Silver Grass, it's everywhere—stays green all year, never withers despite setbacks, its vitality extremely tenacious, and there are plenty even in the courtyard.

All right!

Fu Ye Ye wore a strange expression.

He didn't understand why he kept being asked to find odd things—could the young master have a penchant for eating strange fare? (End of chapter)
