Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 59 Crane Cry Immortal Needle
It was early morning and the sky was bright.

Inside the thatched cottage, spiritual energy gathered and dispersed with a certain rhythm.

"This Small Wuxiang Sutra is truly mysterious."

Jiang Chen slowly exhaled a breath of white air that did not dissipate for three feet, then opened his eyes. After a night of practice, he had already begun to comprehend the mysteries of the Small Wuxiang Sutra, and the true qi in his body had also been transformed into true Wuxiang true qi.

"The Wuxiang Qi is now complete. The next step is to practice step by step. However, if you want to quickly improve your cultivation, the most important thing is to have enough resources. If it were in the era when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely rich, with my foundation of high-grade Qi, I could sit quietly in the mountains and breathe in and out silently. But now, I can't do that."

A cloud-white true energy appeared in his palm, dispersing into gas and gathering into cloud. Jiang Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a moment, he took out the storage bag and took out everything inside.

Although Taoist Baihe was a Qi-training cultivator who lived for over a hundred years, he did not leave behind much. Apart from the Small Wuxiang Sutra and his experience in cultivation, he only had a Qi-training-level inheritance called "Qingfeng Jue", a book called "Secret Records of Raising Cranes", and two magic weapons.

Among them, the Secret Record of Raising Cranes is the result of his own hard work in cultivating the demon cranes. As for the two magic weapons, they are the Thousand Cranes Feather Robe and the Crane's Cry Immortal Needle, each of which has its own mysteries.

The Thousand Crane Feather Robe is made of Qi training-level white crane feathers as the main material. It contains twenty-four levels of magical prohibitions and can summon the breeze to protect the body, as well as travel on the wind. It is a relatively practical flying magic weapon, but the speed of traveling on the wind is not very fast.

The Crane Cry Immortal Needle is also made from the beak of a white crane at the Qi training level as the main material. It contains forty levels of magical prohibitions. It can make a crane cry, captivate people's minds, break the Qi armor, and take people's lives. The two complement each other and are extremely good at killing.

"Leaving aside the Qingfeng Jue and Yanghe Milu, these two magical instruments are of great help to me, especially now. After all, even with the inheritance, it will take me a while to master the spells within them. Although I have already advanced to the Qi training stage, I don't truly possess the power of Qi training."

Picking up the two magical weapons and looking at them carefully, Jiang Chen was quite happy.

According to the records left by Taoist Baihe, in the cultivation world, cultivators divide magic tools into three grades: high, medium and low, using the magic prohibitions possessed by the magic tools as the standard. Those below the thirty-sixth level are low-grade, those between the thirty-sixth and seventy-second levels are medium-grade, and those seventy-two levels and above are high-grade, which invisibly corresponds to the cultivation level of the Qigong cultivators.

The Thousand Crane Feathered Robe has twenty-four levels of magical restrictions, making it a low-grade magical weapon. The Crane's Cry Immortal Needle has forty levels of magical restrictions, making it a genuine mid-grade magical weapon. One must know that magical weapons are difficult to refine, and many casual cultivators and Qi-cultivating monks will never own a magical weapon in their entire lives.

"Not bad, not bad. Although the two magical instruments left by Taoist Baihe are not as good as the top-grade Black Tiger Seal, the Black Tiger Seal left by Taoist Heihu, the ancestor of this lineage, as recorded in the records, they are enough for me. After all, if you want to use a magical instrument from the heart, you need to constantly nourish it with your true energy and make sacrifices."

With his true Qi flowing, Jiang Chen tried to initially refine the two magical instruments.

It has to be said that the lineage of Taoist Baihe still has some heritage. Initially, there were top-grade magic weapons passed down, but magic weapons are not indestructible. Unless they are of extremely high grade, they will inevitably be damaged by the passage of time, with their restrictions broken and their spirituality eroded. By the generation of Taoist Baihe, the top-grade magic weapon, the Black Tiger Seal, had long been damaged.

After a moment, Jiang Chen stopped his actions after establishing a subtle connection with the two magical weapons.

"I have cultivated a superior level of true qi, and my aura is long-lasting. This does give me a considerable advantage in refining magical instruments. If I spend a few more days refining it with true qi, I should be able to imprint my mark on these two instruments and use them initially."

After confirming the progress, Jiang Chen was quite satisfied. Normally, it was not that easy to refine the magic weapon, but the nature of his high-grade true qi and the characteristics of formless true qi provided him with great convenience.

"It's a pity that Taoist Baihe was also poor and didn't leave any food for daily practice."

After confirming that there were no spirit stones or spirit sand in the storage bag, Jiang Chen put everything away.

He could understand Taoist Baihe's poverty. After all, the environment he lived in back then was even worse than his current one. Furthermore, Taoist Baihe had been cultivating alone, using up all the resources he had, leaving nothing behind. "If there's a chance to help settle down, you can get involved. Perhaps you'll reap some rewards."

A thought came to his mind, and Jiang Chen stood up and walked out of the thatched cottage. At this time, Hongyu was already waiting outside with toiletries.

Although she had a relatively close relationship with Jiang Chen, she did not lose sight of her position. She regarded herself as Jiang Chen's personal maid, usually taking care of chores for Jiang Chen and sharing his worries as much as possible.

"Sir, you..."

Looking at Jiang Chen walking out of the thatched cottage, Hongyu couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on her face. She had personally nurtured a trace of alien true qi and was not unfamiliar with the breath of true qi. But at this moment, she felt a similar breath on Jiang Chen.

Noticing this change, a certain thought emerged in her mind, but she was a little bit unbelievable.

"I did break through to Qi training."

Seeing Hongyu's thoughts, Jiang Chen gave a positive answer without hiding it.

Upon hearing this, Hongyu was shocked at first and then overjoyed.

"Congratulations, young master, once you cultivate your Qi, you will rise to prominence..."

Hongyu was so excited that she couldn't control herself for a moment.

She had always known that Jiang Chen had amazing potential and that a breakthrough in Qi training was almost inevitable, but she never expected that Jiang Chen would achieve the breakthrough so quickly.

You have to know that although she gave the true energy that she nurtured to Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen did not have the corresponding secret method of the An family, and did not completely squeeze her dry. The benefit he could get was only 50% at most. Even if the An family members got the help of the alien true energy, it would take at least a year for them to break through.

Compared with this, Jiang Chen's breakthrough speed was really too fast.

Looking at Hongyu like this, Jiang Chen was not surprised. He knew that deep down in her heart, she was actually feeling uneasy and lacking a sense of security.

"Practicing Qi is just the beginning. Practice well. When you have achieved perfect inspiration, I will give you a treasure that can assist in practicing Qi."

After a brief pause, Jiang Chen spoke.

Although Hongyu's aptitude for cultivation is not very good, it is still okay. She has a three-inch spiritual orifice. In addition, the An family often gave her some spiritual medicines before. Although most of the medicinal power was used to nourish her true qi, she also gained some benefits. If she practices well, she will still have a chance to practice qi in the future.

Hearing this, Hongyu was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Jiang Chen would be willing to help her practice Qi. Fear, uneasiness, relief, surprise, gratitude and other emotions intertwined in her heart for a moment, and before she could say anything, Jiang Chen had already floated away.

He is never stingy with his own people, not to mention that Hongyu is his bedmate after all, and their relationship is even closer. As long as Hongyu works hard, he doesn't mind giving her a hand at the critical moment.
