Chapter 39: Devouring the Strange Fire!

Good lord!

Ye Qing sucked in a breath of cold air, looking at the Bone Spirit Cold Fire in his hand with wild joy!

First came the Burning Art, and now the Bone Spirit Cold Fire?:;; ０

He could only say—this time, the System gets him!

What is he lacking right now?

Of course, it's a heaven-defying cultivation method.

The half-volume Sword Scripture from Tianjian Sect would be considered impressive if it could barely get him into Qi Condensation Stage, and then… well, that's all there was to it.

And this half-volume Sword Scripture was actually considered the most powerful sect-guarding heritage of Tianjian Sect.

He had to admit, their patriarch was quite lucky—this half-volume Sword Scripture was a Foundation Establishment Stage sword scripture technique, capable of sword control to slay enemies.

However, because it was only half a volume, the upper limit was only sword control to slay enemies, with no way to achieve sword-flight.

Moreover, damn it, there wasn't even a method for nurturing Yang-attribute spiritual swords…

In short, it was a Defective Product!

Now, Ye Qing had obtained the complete Burning Art, and even the strange fire, the Bone Spirit Cold Fire!

With this, he could declare that he was ready to take off!

With this cheat in hand, he would be absolutely invincible within Qi Condensation Stage.

Ye Qing's mind stirred; he didn't bother with anything else and immediately settled his heart, beginning to cultivate the Burning Art.

Perhaps because the Burning Art had been modified by the System, cultivating it now felt no different from normal cultivation—except the cultivation speed was truly slow!

In fact, Ye Qing felt that the Burning Art's cultivation speed was even slower than the half-volume Sword Scripture he had been practicing.

Actually, there wasn't a shortage of ambient spiritual energy around him, but absorbing it was just very slow.

It felt like he couldn't suck it in.

Perhaps it had to do with his own aptitude as well—in short, cultivating was very slow!

With no choice, Ye Qing could only furrow his brow, forcibly endure the sluggish cultivation speed, draw in the surrounding spiritual energy, and use the Burning Art's circulation route to convert it into his own spiritual power!

Spiritual energy entered his body like a trickling stream, flowing through his meridians, and finally gathering in his dantian, forming a faint yellow internal energy vortex…

Currently, Ye Qing's realm was only at the level of a second-rate martial artist, with about ten years of internal energy.

Ye Qing's mind sank into his body, observing the two streams of energy within his dantian…

One stream of energy carried a sharp, piercing intent—it was the internal energy cultivated from the half-volume Sword Scripture.

The other stream of energy was precisely the Burning Art internal energy cultivated earlier.

The gap between the two was simply enormous.

One side was like a vast ocean.

The other side was like a single drop of water…

If he wanted to cultivate the Burning Art and make it his primary technique, he would have to convert all that sharp, sword-intent internal energy in his body into Burning Art internal energy.

This was a massive undertaking.

With no choice, in order to grow stronger, Ye Qing could only do this…

His mind stirred, and Ye Qing controlled the Burning Art internal energy while simultaneously mobilizing the Sword Scripture internal energy, beginning to cultivate along the Burning Art's circulation route…

Time passed without anyone noticing...

He didn't know how long had passed…

The Burning Art internal energy within Ye Qing's body grew more and more, while the Sword Scripture internal energy grew less and less. In the end, the Burning Art internal energy surged like a great river and ocean, sweeping along the last remnants of Sword Scripture internal energy, circulating through his meridians for a full grand cycle, and finally gathering in his dantian!

"Huu…"

Only after completing all this did Ye Qing open his eyes and let out a long breath of stale air.

It was over!

The cultivation progress of the Burning Art was finally finished!

"Strength hasn't really increased either…" Ye Qing's mind stirred, and he subconsciously clenched his fist, sensing the energy within his body, then shook his head and sighed.

Indeed, there was no real increase—an ordinary Burning Art was nothing more than a common commodity after all.

The Sword Scripture he had been cultivating was, in a sense, already a Foundation Establishment technique.

Now, he had converted the internal energy cultivated from a Foundation Establishment technique into the internal energy of a run-of-the-mill technique—maintaining his strength without dropping was already impressive!

Ye Qing shook his head, not wanting to think about it further. He stood up and stretched lazily…

He turned to look out the window, then froze slightly…

"It's night already?"

Ye Qing subconsciously looked up at the sky and saw the moon bright and stars sparse, the veil of night draped over everything.

One session of cultivation, and he had gone from day to night.

The key thing was—damn it, there wasn't even any progress…

However…

This was the beginning of everything; slow was fine…

Ye Qing pushed open the door and looked toward his junior brothers' and junior sisters' courtyard, and then…

"Still not back? These three guys…" Ye Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These three guys—were they not completely obsessed with finding opportunities on the mountain?

Still not back even now?
