Chapter 38: Cold Pivot True Qi

"Are you really willing?"

It was already broad daylight, and various colorful colors appeared in the hundred-zhang-high cloud layer. The sun was hanging high, shining brilliantly.

Yin Gonghao looked at the scene of golden waves rippling and the dawn bird piercing the netherworld for a while, then withdrew his gaze and cast it on Zhou Chuyu, who was bowing on the ground:

"That man saved you from fire and water. If it weren't for him, you would still be humiliated and toyed with on that small mountain. I want you to kill him with your own hands. Are you willing? Do you resent me?"

"Teacher, how do you know these things?"

"The gap between cultivators is greater than the difference between humans and dogs. Your little thoughts, I don't even need to probe; I can tell at a glance. How could you hide it from me, Yin Gonghao?"

"He... although he saved me from the sea of bitterness, he came too late. He came, so what do those days I spent before count for?"

Zhou Chuyu avoided Yin Gonghao's gaze, unconsciously grabbing a handful of wet black soil, her ten fingers exerting force, her fingertips deeply embedded in her palms, muttering:

"The more he saved me, the more I seem to loathe him. He is as clean as the clouds in the sky, and I am dirty and filthy, like the rotten filth in the ground... Looking at him, I can't help but want to pull him down from the sky, let him be with me, want to hold him and entangle him, let him be stained with my scent, no matter how I wash it, it won't be clean. Finally, we die together, our bodies rotting together..."

Yin Gonghao was overjoyed.

"Although ungrateful, it is from the heart, every word is sincere." He said.

"Therefore, I never dare to resent Teacher. Teacher gave me a golden avenue to the sky. Only by standing on this heaven-reaching avenue can I reach out and pull Chen Hang into the mud."

Yin Gonghao narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Dare not resent," instead of "will not resent," right?

A difference of one word, and this woman's thoughts were already clear.

But Yin Gonghao didn't care. He had seen too many people who thought they were extraordinary, but how many could condense a Jin Dan and step into the Primordial Spirit?

Even if this woman really had such great luck and came to kill him after achieving the Dao, Yin Gonghao would only clap and cheer! Because this was his good teaching!

"If you can really kill him, not only can you enter my sect, but if you can achieve a Jin Dan within fifty years, I can also point you to a great fortune."

Yin Gonghao's long eyebrows flickered: "Countless true disciples and Dao children of the Eight Sects and Six Sects are looking forward to it. If you can benefit from it, you will have no obstacles in your cultivation before the three disasters!"

Zhou Chuyu raised her head and smiled charmingly. The corners of her eyes and brows were full of charm, revealing a bit of allure.

"However, those are things for later. I will only give you one month. If you haven't finished the job within a month, I will take back your Qi Cultivation and demote you to an animal body."

"The mortal world is so vast. If disciple cannot find Chen Hang's tracks? Or, if he meets with an accident and is killed by someone else first?" Zhou Chuyu asked: "How should that be counted?"

"It still counts as you losing."

Yin Gonghao smiled and stood with his hands behind his back, saying indifferently:

"Be content. My test for you is already simple. Back then, in order to test whether I had the fate to enter his sect, my teacher deliberately disguised himself as me, slaughtered half of the cultivation sects in a world, and then threw me into that world, telling me to live for a month, which would count as success."

"By the time a month passed, I had already been stripped of bones and skin, and even my soul was being used as a sky lamp in a furnace of yin fire. Fortunately, those idiots wanted to torture me and didn't destroy my primordial spirit, so I took a shortcut to pass."

Zhou Chuyu took a deep breath and silently climbed up from the ground.

"You only obtained a Qi Cultivation Art I passed to you. In a rush, even if I gave you Dao techniques, you wouldn't be able to cultivate anything, so it's better not to learn."

Yin Gonghao pondered for a moment, and a pitch-black ring of light jumped from his crown. A white bone hand reached out from the ring, grabbed into the void, and seized several Qi Cultivators wearing apricot-yellow Dao robes. There were men and women, and their aura was floating, clearly all at the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation or above.

"Pre, predecessor..."

Among that group of apricot-yellow Dao robes, the leader endured the fear in his heart and spoke tremblingly.

They were originally practicing in their cave dwelling, but suddenly, a white bone hand reached out from nowhere, easily crushing the sect-protecting formation. Several elders tried to stop it, but before they could get close, they were directly shattered into limbs and turned into a pool of rotten meat in the air.

"We are all disciples of the Lianyan Mountain. My father once had a friendship with True Person Zhang of the Luofu Sect. I, I don't know—"

Before he could finish.

Yin Gonghao was already impatient. The white bone hand fiercely clenched its five fingers, squeezing them all to death, blood raining everywhere.

"What kind of bullshit Lianyan Mountain, I've never heard of it. A mere Luofu Sect is worthy of trying to manipulate me? My 'Corpse Responding Banner' is just missing a few banner spirits. Sooner or later, I will invite them all to move in!"

Yin Gonghao didn't care at all. He pointed at the pile of fresh blood mud and said to Zhou Chuyu:

"Go, pick a few talisman artifacts you like. Your third-layer Qi Cultivation is enough to drive talisman artifacts."

After Zhou Chuyu carefully picked them up from the blood mud, Yin Gonghao didn't say much and waved his hand to signal her to leave.

Zhou Chuyu bowed respectfully to the ground, kowtowed three times seriously, and then turned to leave the valley.

"Got the Dharma, finally, got the Dharma..."

A gray-blue escape light rushed into the sky. After rushing up a hundred zhang, it barely stopped.

Zhou Chuyu, who was wrapping her flesh with Embryonic Breathing to fly, held her face, crying and laughing:

"Mother, did you see it from underground? Yu'er also got an immortal fate today."

In the True Dharma Realm.

Chen Hang's breath was intermittent. Suddenly, his throat hurt, and a cold qi pierced his throat, then his internal organs stiffened. At this time, even the blood flowing out was dark blue.

"Wrong again. I should have been slower just now."

At the moment of death, this thought flashed through Chen Hang's mind.

As this mental image no longer had breath, light and shadow appeared in place, condensing a new Chen Hang.

Refining "Cold Pivot True Qi" is indeed not easy.

Even when it was silent, it tortured Chen Hang to the point of wishing for death. Although after achieving Qi Cultivation, the Embryonic Breathing in his body had strengthened many times, enough to protect his internal organs and no longer suffer from the cold freezing,

But if he wanted to refine it, it was still extremely difficult...

The practice of the Qi Cultivation realm is to continuously strengthen the innate Embryonic Breathing in the body, layer by layer, and finally reach the requirements for condensing true qi.

In this process, due to the differences in Qi Cultivation techniques, the Embryonic Breathing in the body will also undergo various changes.

For example, those who practice "Ingot Ding Jin Zhen Qi," as their Qi Cultivation gradually improves, the Embryonic Breathing in their bodies will gradually reveal the properties of "Ingot Ding Jin Zhen Qi," presenting the attributes of "gold" and "sharp."

And Chen Hang is relying on the "Dragon Heaven Brilliant, All Truths Total Control" attribute of "Great Beginning Origin Truth." Because his own Embryonic Breathing is also infected with this nature, he dares to refine "Cold Pivot True Qi."

But after all, the grade of true qi is higher than Embryonic Breathing. Even if his Embryonic Breathing attribute is extraordinary, wanting to refine it completely is not so easy.

"Try again."

Chen Hang steadied his heart and sat down again. ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
