Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 23: Get on the bus first and pay later
Leaving the Imperial Library, Qi Shiyun looked at Lian Shanxin, who was clutching the box tightly, and couldn't help but laugh: "There's no need to be so excited. This is nothing precious."

Lian Shanxin said earnestly, "What adults can obtain at will is a treasure that I have sought for the first eighteen years of my life but could not obtain."

Qi Shiyun was taken aback.

Lian Shanxin didn't say anything more.

Because this is how the world has always been.

What ordinary people strive for their entire lives, some people are born with.

And most importantly, ordinary people may not be able to achieve this even after a lifetime of struggle.

In contrast, Lian Shanxin was lucky.

At least he had a lucky break and seized the opportunity.

Even so, he had already lost to many others at the starting line.

The only way is to catch up in the days to come.

The two walked forward in silence. Qi Shiyun's smile disappeared. Suddenly, she stopped and said to Lian Shan, "Go to the seclusion room. I will protect you and help you break through to the Qi Condensation Realm."

"Thank you, sir."

Lianshan didn't stand on ceremony.

He had never taken Qi Condensation Pills before, nor did he have any experience in breaking through realms, so he really needed someone with experience to take care of him.

"My lord, will my breakthrough to the Qi Condensation Realm affect my cultivation?"

"It doesn't matter. Martial arts is the most suitable cultivation system for the current environment, and it doesn't conflict with our cultivation of immortality. In fact, due to the loss of many immortal techniques and changes in the environment, the previous immortal techniques are no longer applicable. We now use the martial arts system to classify cultivation levels. It's just that we are a bit more mysterious than martial artists, and we can't use common sense to make inferences."

"Make it more mysterious?"

"Simply put, a Qi Condensation Realm martial artist is a Qi Condensation Realm martial artist in the third realm, and it is very difficult for them to defeat a martial artist in the fourth realm, True Intent Realm. But we are different. Qi Condensation Realm cultivators have mysterious and unpredictable methods, and it is even possible for them to defeat a Grandmaster Realm martial artist in the fifth realm."

"so smart?"

"Of course, back then there was a cultivator who defeated a Grandmaster of the fifth realm while in the Qi Condensation Realm, making a name for himself and making it onto the Hidden Dragon List."

Admiration and anticipation flashed in Lian Shanxin's eyes: "That must be a true prodigy."

Qi Shiyun nodded: "That's right, I did it."

Lianshanxin: "..."

You're really good at bragging.

But the fact that they don't say what they should say is truly impressive.

Lian Shanxin's understanding of fighting beyond one's level is that a low-level cultivator in the Core Formation stage can defeat a Foundation Establishment elder.

Qi Shiyun's situation is equivalent to a Qi Refining expert reversing the process of a minor Core Formation cultivator.

Calling her a prodigy is no exaggeration.

"Work hard with me, and you'll definitely have your day on the Hidden Dragon List. I have a feeling your talent for cultivation is no less than mine," Qi Shiyun began to promise.

But it's not just empty promises.

She asked herself honestly, when she was nothing, she really didn't dare to directly oppose the Crown Prince.

Lianshan Xin is dry.

In this respect, Qi Shiyun is ashamed of herself.

"Can't you accurately measure my talent level, sir?"

Qi Shiyun explained, "In ancient times, it is said that there were treasures that could test the quality of spiritual roots, but they have long been lost. That is why the seeds of immortality are so hard to find and unpredictable. But my perception through the immortal techniques I cultivate is not wrong. You must be the chosen one of our lineage."

Seeing that Qi Shiyun spoke with such conviction, and most importantly, that she had already invested so much in herself, Lian Shanxin chose to believe Qi Shiyun.

"We'll talk about cultivating immortality later. First, you should take the Qi Condensation Pill, advance to the Qi Condensation Realm, and then open up all the meridians in your body."

"Wait, after advancing to the Qi Condensation Realm, you need to open up all the meridians in your body?" Lian Shanxin was a little confused: "Can't the Qi Condensation Pill directly skip the Meridian Opening Realm from the Body Tempering Realm and go straight to the Qi Condensation Realm? Why do you still need to open up all the meridians in your body?"

Qi Shiyun pointed out, "What are you thinking? Is there such a thing as getting something for nothing in this world? The Qi Condensation Pill can only help you condense Qi earlier, which should only be possible after you have opened up all your meridians. However, your meridians are blocked, and with your Body Tempering Realm cultivation, you simply cannot open up all your meridians. Only by using the power of Qi Condensation to forcibly open up your meridians can you become a martial artist who has achieved the Great Perfection of Body Tempering and Meridian Opening, and finally succeed in Qi Condensation, just like everyone else."

Lian Shanxin thought carefully for three seconds and understood Qi Shiyun's meaning and the true use of the Qi Condensation Pill—the Qi Condensation Pill was for getting on the train first and then paying the fare later.

Normal cultivation involves first strengthening the body, then opening up all the meridians in the body, and finally condensing the Qi.

The Qi Condensation Pill simply swaps the order of the second and third steps.

They have sex first, then get the marriage certificate, and the bride price is waived.

Tsk.

The logic is quite reasonable.

"Did the master who created the Qi Condensation Pill often dine and dash?"

Qi Shiyun glanced at Lian Shanxin in surprise, then nodded and said, "You guessed right. It is said that when that patriarch was playing around in the mortal world, he often dined and dashed."

"Very reasonable."

Lian Shanxin even thought that the patriarch might be a scumbag of the patriarch level.

The principle behind this Qi Condensation Pill reveals a kind of life wisdom from a scumbag.

"arrive."

Qi Shiyun led Lian Shanxin into the secluded room.

There were two futons in the seclusion room, and Qi Shiyun took the initiative to sit on the right one.

Lian Shanxin sat opposite Qi Shiyun, opened the box, and saw the pills with swirling energy inside.

"This pill... is it alive?"

"Of course it's dead, but the pill contains a certain amount of internal energy. The Qi Condensation Pills circulating outside are only made by the 'Celestial Master's' disciples. The one in your hand is genuinely made by the 'Celestial Master,' and it's of the highest quality. If you succeed in your cultivation tomorrow, remember to owe the 'Celestial Master' a favor. With the 'Celestial Master's' current status, he hasn't opened the furnace to refine Qi Condensation Pills for a long time."

Qi Shiyun's expression was very serious when she said this.

However, Lian Shanxin didn't take it to heart: "I earned the Qi Condensation Pill with my achievements, so if I owe anyone a favor, it's to you, the third-ranked scholar."

Qi Shiyun shook her head: "There's no need for formalities between us. Letting you owe the 'Celestial Master' a favor will benefit you. There are quite a few people who have made meritorious contributions within nine days, but they can only get ordinary Qi Condensation Pills. By forming a good relationship with the Celestial Master, you will naturally be closer to the Celestial Master's lineage. It's a good start to repay what you've borrowed. Don't offend anyone, but don't offend the alchemist."

“That makes sense.” Lian Shanxin said solemnly, “Thank you for your guidance, Scholar Qi.”

From this perspective, he should try to owe the Celestial Master more favors.

He only owed the Celestial Master a favor; the Celestial Master was his creditor.

He owed the Celestial Master an endless debt of gratitude; he was the Celestial Master's creditor.

You need to take the medicine.

There's no future without drugs.

"The only problem is that the 'Celestial Master' is from Kuangshan, and many of Kuangshan's disciples also studied at Bailudong Academy. According to the academy's records, quite a few were personally taught by Qianmian."

Lianshanxin: "..."

"This time, Lord 'Heavenly Sword' almost killed Thousand Faces with his sword. At the critical moment, a mysterious expert appeared and saved Thousand Faces from the sword. According to Lord 'Heavenly Sword', that mysterious expert is very likely from the Six Sects of Kuangshan."

"However, none of this is relevant to us for now. The Six Sects of Kuangshan are the Six Sects of Kuangshan, and the Celestial Master is the Celestial Master. For you, the most important thing is to improve your strength first."

Lian Shanxin deeply agreed, even if the Celestial Master really had a connection with the Demonic Sect, the Qi Condensation Pill was innocent.

One was a Qi Condensation Pill of the highest quality, refined by the Celestial Master of the Nine Heavens; the other was a Qi Condensation Pill of the highest quality, refined by the Celestial Master of the Demonic Sect. With the two Qi Condensation Pills placed side by side, which one was the more vile one in Lian Shanxin's eyes?

Lian Shanxin said they were all good pills, and that they should take them first.
