"What the hell are you doing, kid? Master just closed his eyes."
The Yuan Venerate was helpless. Why didn't this disciple know how to dote on others?
"Master, you can't blame me for this. You said that I would wake you up as soon as I condensed the first Qi Sword."
Ling Xiao said aggrievedly.
"What the hell?"
The Yuan Venerate jumped up.
"Could it be that Master has been asleep for two hours?"
"No, Master, you have been asleep for less than a second." Ling Xiao replied. "I have some experience in this area because I have cultivated a gold-grade martial art before. That's why I can cultivate so quickly."
"You are indeed a monster!"
The Yuan Venerate smiled bitterly, feeling a little disappointed. "Alright, since you have already condensed the first Qi Sword, demonstrate it for Master."
"Yes, Master!"
Ling Xiao closed his eyes slowly. After all, he had just comprehended it, so it was obvious that he wasn't familiar enough with the Nine Meridian Qi Sword and would need a longer time to condense the Qi Sword.
Only the bonfire and the chirping of insects could be heard in the silent wilderness.
After about 10 seconds, Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and pointed a finger at a towering tree in front of him.
"Nine Meridian Qi Sword!"
Whoosh!
Pfft!
An almost completely transparent Qi Sword shot out from his finger and extended nearly 10 meters in an instant.
The towering tree was easily pierced through as if it was tofu, leaving behind a sharp sword mark.
Buzz!
A moment later, a strange sound was heard. The sword mark, which didn't seem very big, actually split into dozens of lines in all directions.
Kacha!
The towering tree, which required more than 10 people to wrap their arms around it, started to sway.
"What was that just now?"
The Yuan Venerate asked Ling Xiao in shock.
The Nine Meridian Qi Sword could only produce the first effect and not the second.
"Disciple integrated his spirit power into it and produced this special effect."
Ling Xiao scratched his head.
"Sigh, what should I say about you? Should I say that you're a genius, or that you're a freak?"
The Yuan Venerate smiled bitterly. "Although you are still somewhat unfamiliar with the process of condensing the Qi sword, it doesn't matter. You will be able to use it proficiently very soon if you continue to practice. Next, try using it as a sword."
"Yes!"
Ling Xiao condensed an energy sword once again. This time, he was clearly much more proficient than before, which stunned the Yuan Venerates.
He had also seen many geniuses, but he had simply never encountered someone like Ling Xiao.
"Success!"
This time, Ling Xiao only used a breath of time to successfully condense the Qi sword.
"Cut that tree open!"
Yuan Venerate pointed at the tree that was already on the verge of collapsing.
Ling Xiao nodded and controlled the Qi sword to a range of four to five meters. He then lightly swung his right hand and used his Basic Sword Skill. The Qi sword was like a divine weapon as it directly cut apart the towering tree.
"Good! Master introduces the door, but cultivation depends on the individual. Your comprehension ability is really good, so Master really has nothing to nitpick about. Just continue cultivating like this. You will definitely be able to bring the Nine Meridian Qi Sword to greater heights. "
The Yuan Venerate had originally wanted to see if there were any shortcomings in Ling Xiao's technique and give him some pointers. However, after watching Ling Xiao's demonstration, he decided to forget about it.
This fellow was simply a model of self-taught. Not only did he have an outstanding grasp of the Nine Meridian Qi Sword, but the most ridiculous thing was that he was actually able to draw inferences about other things and create new ways to use it.
It seemed that this master of his had really picked up a treasure.
But why did he feel so helpless?
"Master, do you think the Qi sword can be used like this?"
As he was thinking about this, the Yuan Venerate saw another shocking scene.
Ling Xiao actually turned the originally straight Qi sword into a soft, whip-like sword. It was clearly stabbing forward, but it suddenly stabbed out from behind.
This was also not mentioned in the original chant.
"Master, can the Qi sword be used like this?"
Ling Xiao had invented a new way to use it.
The Qi sword completely enveloped his right fist as if he was wearing a special boxing glove.
The Qi sword had actually turned into a defensive martial technique in an instant!
Once one understood, all would be understood.
Ling Xiao continuously changed the Qi sword into various shapes.
Sometimes it turned into a shield, sometimes it turned into a wild beast, and sometimes it even turned into a beautiful flower to make a lady happy.
Although many of the variations weren't very useful in actual combat, some of them were simply classic ideas that were really wonderful when used in actual combat.
"It seems like Master doesn't have to worry about your comprehension of martial techniques. The next key is to increase your cultivation and Quintessential Origin Energy. When we enter the depths of the Dragon Submission Mountain Range, Master will think of a way to help you find some rare materials for refining spirit pills."
The Yuan Venerate finally understood that Ling Xiao's comprehension of martial techniques was the most outstanding he had ever seen, so he didn't have to worry. The key was still to increase his cultivation.
"As for your cultivation, even though your aptitude is very outstanding, appropriate elixir pills are also necessary. At the same time, you should continue to improve your alchemy skills."
"I believe that the core disciples of the sect, as well as geniuses like Leng Hao and Ming Tian, will all receive a lot of elixir pills from their Master, right?"
Ling Xiao pondered this for a moment.
"Of course, but they will at most look for Old Yang to refine elixir pills. However, don't forget that Old Yang's alchemy skills were also taught by me. Given his aptitude, it would already be pretty good if he could learn a drop in the ocean from me," the Yuan Venerate said confidently.
"Even though Master's strength has yet to recover, in terms of alchemy and array formation techniques, there are probably no more than 10 people in the entire Mystic World who can match Master in terms of alchemy skills and array formation techniques."
When he spoke, there was a kind of "arrogance" in his bones that originated from his past.
Ling Xiao wasn't very clear about the Yuan Venerate's past, but he firmly believed that the Yuan Venerate wasn't speaking nonsense.
Some arrogance really wasn't something that could be faked.
To be honest, he was becoming more and more interested in his Master's identity. Unfortunately, his Master had only said that he would find out in the future and didn't mention it again.
"Also, from now on, keep this Array Formation Stone on you. No matter what you do, don't take it off until the tower ascension ceremony begins."
The Yuan Venerate suddenly moved his claws and took out a piece of Array Formation Stone from the storage ring hanging around his neck.
This Array Formation Stone was purplish-black and had many strange inscriptions and patterns on it. It was very obvious that this thing had already been integrated into some sort of array formation.
Ling Xiao reached out to take the Array Formation Stone. However, his arms suddenly sank and he was shocked. This small piece of Array Formation Stone actually weighed close to 1,000 kilograms.
The miraculous thing about the Art of Refining Formations was that it could achieve different effects through different materials.
