I have seen dragons

Chapter 14 Maybe I should just die

That night, the stars and moon remained sleepless.

It was quite late when the statement was taken. Instead of returning to the main city, Qi Dian found a hotel in City Seven to rest temporarily.

Lying on the hotel bed, thinking about what had happened that day, he felt increasingly frustrated.

He was proud and arrogant from a young age, and his ideal was to become a world-renowned swordsman, upholding justice and slaying demons. After joining the Linjiang Sect, he consistently stood out among his fellow disciples.

Furthermore, the fact that disciples of the immortal sect are praised wherever they go makes him truly believe that he has the opportunity to become a prodigy.

However, in Tianbei Prefecture, a place known as the cultivation desert, there are too few immortal sects, so he has few opportunities to spar with geniuses of his age.

Next year's Youth Cultivation Conference is the stage he has always looked forward to showcasing his talents. If he can overpower all the heroes in the City Hero Battle, he can represent Jiang City and meet the best talents from all over the world.

He is confident that he is no less capable than anyone else!
Today was actually his first time going out on a mission on his own. The sect wanted to test his combat skills, and they thought that a dilapidated cemetery in a satellite city wouldn't have any major evil spirits.

Never thought about it.

When he first started out, he was arrogant and proud, and he almost faced death when he encountered an evil cultivator.

He was saved by Yue Wen, a rogue cultivator of the same age.

Ugh.

Actually, he didn't feel too bad about losing to the evil cultivator. That evil cultivator had been cultivating for who knows how many years, and was only at the late stage of the Integration Realm. Demonic cultivation techniques themselves would overdraw a person's potential in exchange for combat power.

It's normal for righteous cultivators in the lower three realms to be unable to defeat evil cultivators.

Yue Wen had no resources or background, yet he was superior to him in every aspect, including cultivation and combat power... He was even eight degrees more handsome than him.

Even in a small river city, there are peers who can outperform you.

This made Qi Dian suspicious.

Am I not good enough to be considered talented?
Qi Dian was dejected for a long time.

After a while, he silently comforted himself.

The cultivation techniques of independent cultivators vary greatly in quality. Perhaps Yue Wen is also cultivating a technique that allows for rapid progress and powerful combat in the lower three realms.

Master said that there are many extreme cultivation techniques that are strong in the early stages but weak in the later stages, and many independent cultivators never make long-term plans from the beginning. But the cultivation technique of their Linjiang Sect focuses on stability and exerts its power in the later stages.

As long as one has enough comprehension to reach the middle three realms, one can shine brightly.

That's right.

Qi Dian rallied his spirits. His greatest strength in the sect was his comprehension! What took other disciples three days to master a supernatural technique, he only needed one day; what took others a month to master, he only needed a week.

Breaking through to the Gang Realm is a certainty.

As long as I make steady progress, when the Youth Cultivation Tournament starts, I will definitely be able to become the representative of Jiangcheng City at the fourth realm!
As the sages of the spiritual practice world have said, being fat first doesn't count as being fat, but being fat later can be overwhelming.

Overwhelmed with excitement, he immediately wanted to access the sect's library to continue studying the techniques. However, upon entering, he discovered Yue Wen's cultivation record; not long ago, he had only studied for twenty minutes.

It's impossible to fully comprehend this.

Although Thunderclap and Flash are just two minor supernatural abilities, Linjiang Sect disciples generally need several days to learn them, and even he himself spent more than ten hours comprehending them before he could fully master them.

"Brother Yue is too kind," Qi Dian murmured. "He only studied for a short while, probably because he was afraid of spending my money."

Although Qi Dian was provoked by Yue Wen, he didn't feel jealous because Yue Wen was better than him. Besides, Yue Wen had saved his life, and he felt only gratitude.

So he sent a message to Yue Wen.

[Young Master Qi, wandering the martial world with his sword: "Brother Yue, feel free to study the visualization diagrams for those two supernatural abilities to your heart's content. Don't worry about being charged; our sect's fees are very reasonable."]

[Appointed Manager of AAA Yue Family Cultivation Agency: Thank you, Brother Qi, I have finished learning.]

[Young Master Qi, wandering the martial world with his sword: Ah.]

He turned off his phone, looked up, and stared silently at the ceiling for a while. After a moment, he muttered to himself again.

"Or I should just die."

……

Yue Wen had no idea how much damage his casual reply had caused to Qi Shaoxia's heart.

He slept for a few hours and woke up refreshed in the morning light. After washing up, he still had a little time before leaving the house, so he went upstairs to review his existing martial arts techniques. First was the earliest technique he had practiced, the Wandering Dragon Scattered Hand, which was considered one of the strongest martial arts techniques. It encompassed both movement and fist techniques, was flexible and versatile, and could deal with any martial arts technique in close combat.

Next is the deadly sword control technique, which is fast and powerful. Its only drawback might be that it lacks variety. You can buy some advanced sword techniques later.

These two skills are enough for me to use in the Lower Three Realms.

Next up are the Thunder and Flash spells we practiced last night.

Yue Wen gently clenched his fist, and a rumbling thunder came from his palm, as if he were holding a ball of thunderclouds.

As the thunder subsided, he snapped his fingers again, and a spark of starlight flew from his fingertip, exploding into a dazzling white light that enveloped the entire room.

After seeing these two spells last night, he had an idea in mind. Although they are two minor supernatural abilities, they can be very useful in certain situations.

For example, in such a confined space, if one suddenly casts a flash spell, even a cultivator would be completely blinded and unable to see for a long time. Even if a cultivator can lock onto the energy flow with their divine sense, they certainly wouldn't have the time to react so quickly in such a situation.

He can seize the opportunity to strike and pierce the heart with a single sword!
The Thunderclap spell, while creating a deafening roar that can intimidate the mind, can also mask many other sounds; its proper use is equally crucial.

It would be a waste to use these two tricks only for showing off.

The supernatural abilities and magical techniques that Da Long bought were all of high quality but very expensive, and couldn't be bought casually. Therefore, these minor supernatural abilities were exactly what he lacked. And Guan Qidian's request for these two minor supernatural abilities wouldn't make the other party feel any pain.

I gained something, and I also made a good relationship with this person.

If he were to demand a large sum of money or treasures as a reward for saving his life, Qi Dian might give it to him, but he would still lose the favor.

Yue Wen had a clear plan in mind.

In addition, there were two visualization diagrams that Da Long had imprinted in his mind that he had not yet mastered.

The method to undo the curse on that demonic skin was more complicated than he had imagined. He tried to visualize it, and in an instant, it was as if he had fallen into a blood-soaked abyss of demons, surrounded by thick, foul-smelling purple blood, with countless demonic shadows covering the sky and the earth.

It might take several more days to fully understand it.

Sometimes it's not just about comprehension, but also about whether the visualized image is compatible with the practitioner's nature. This method of breaking the curse belongs to the dark and evil demonic path, and Yue Wen will need to spend a lot of effort to comprehend it.

If you switch to some more sunny and handsome techniques, he'll definitely be able to comprehend them with ease.

The other one is the Gang Realm chapter of the True Dragon Dao Method.

No wonder the Gangjing chapter of cultivation techniques is so expensive; its complexity is incomparable to that of the lower three realms.

If the visualization diagram of the Flash Technique is like an elementary school textbook, then the True Dragon Daoist Realm Chapter is like the original Jin Ping Mei, not only with a greatly upgraded amount of knowledge, but also entirely in classical Chinese.

To break through to the Gang Realm, one must refine one's own Gang Qi, and the Gang Qi refined by each cultivation technique is different.

The protective energy refined by the True Dragon Daoist method is called "Chaotic Dragon Aura".

As the saying goes, "Great fire refines the Qi," meaning that to refine one's Qi, one must first ignite a spiritual fire in one's Qi Sea. This is also why materials are needed to break through to the Qi Realm.

To cultivate the Chaos Dragon Qi, one needs "Purple Jade Branch", "Blazing Flame Powder", "Taiyi Profound Blazing Elixir", and "Dragon Breath Fire Seed".

All of them are expensive and rare items.

Yue Wen was extremely grateful that he had obtained the cultivation technique in installments in advance. Otherwise, if he had to save up all the money to suppress evil spirits and then collect these materials, it would have been a long time before he could break through.

He did a quick search on the online forum and found that the high price wasn't the biggest problem; the real issue was that these items were mostly unavailable on the market.

It seems I'll have to take it slow and approach it gradually.

Fortunately, I am only in the late stage of the third realm, and it will take some time before I reach perfection. I still have time to prepare.

Just focus on running your own firm well, and you'll have money, and you'll also have money for exorcising evil spirits!

……

It was also on this crisp morning.

Wearing a white shirt and a gray long skirt, Zhao Xing'er boarded the bus. Her face, brighter than the sun, was pressed against the window, attracting the attention of passersby.

After settling in, she took out her phone and sent a message to the person opposite her: "Mysterious, it's almost my first day of work! I'm a little excited!"

The other end replied instantly, "Good luck, Mystery! I'll give you four words: May you achieve great things!"

“Thank you!” Zhao Xing’er typed quickly, “I will work hard to slay demons and monsters and make a name for myself! I will create a great career in Jiangcheng City! Starting today, I will…”
