Chapter 38 - Purple Qi Cauldron Melting Technique
Bai Xiaochun got up and moved his body a bit, his face full of excitement. With his wooden sword in hand, he danced about in the yard, sometimes suddenly stabbing out, and at other times abruptly stopping.
The entire wooden sword became blurred as it spun around in the yard, almost disappearing from sight, replaced by the shockwaves it left behind as it moved. The air seemed to be filled with gusts at that moment, and Bai Xiaochun’s excitement only intensified.
After a while, he flung his right arm to the side, the wooden sword flashed, and returned to his palm. It didn’t seem like much, it’s colourful appearance was seemingly inconspicuous, but actually, the sword had went through three refinements. Its quality was on a completely different level.
“Lifting the Heavy as Though It Was Light and Lifting the Light as Thought It Was Heavy - if I could master both of these techniques, their combination would make me the only one capable of that godlike ability from the Purple Qi Cauldron Techniques! Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath, his eyes full of anticipation.
“Purple Qi Cauldron Melting Technique!” Bai Xiaochun stored away his wooden sword, closed his eyes and stood in the courtyard. After a while, his right hand abruptly shot up, pointing at the sky. Immediately after that, the Qi, which was supposed to be invisible to the naked eye, became visible with flashes of light, forming into strings that began to form something similar to a cauldron.
As if guided by some mysterious force, the cauldron slowly took shape.
At the same time, shockwave after shockwave was emitted out from it. The Qi produced was stronger than the Qi from his swordplay earlier.
On the other hand, Bai Xiaochun’s face was rapidly paling. The Qi within his body was being rapidly depleted, and the cauldron had only finished materializing after burning eighty percent of his Qi. Floating in mid-air, the cauldron was surrounded by an intense Qi pressure, and followed by Bai Xiaochun pointing his finger forward, the cauldron shot out, crashing hard against the ground.
The instant the cauldron and the ground made contact, the cauldron shattered and a huge amount of Qi exploded out from it.
The roar of that explosion was intense, it reverberated throughout the courtyard, and the ground around the impact audibly fractured.
Fortunately, the Scented Cloud Mountain was protected by a formation technique, fixing the fractures as soon as they formed. The impact, however, was heard by many of the outer sect disciples, raising their curiosity about its source.
Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath. He hadn’t expected the Purple Qi Cauldron Melting Technique to be this overwhelming. That impact gave him the feeling that if he was to be matched against himself, he wouldn’t be able to put up a fight at all.
“Purple Qi Cauldron Melting Technique lives up to its name. It’s a very mysterious technique, and it requires an understanding of both the ‘Lifting the Light as Though It Was Heavy’ and ‘Lifting the Heavy as Though It Was Light’ methods.” Bai Xiaochun’s eyes shone, however, it was replaced by a frown moments after. It was very strong, but the Qi it consumed was way too much.
Bai Xiaochun didn’t know, but actually, he had only exhausted eighty percent of his Qi because of its purity. Other disciples would use up the entirety of their Qi before the eighth level of Qi Condensation even if they comprehended the technique. Those at the ninth level were the ones who could actually use that technique, but the cost for them wasn’t small either.
“The Purple Qi Cauldron Techniques are split into three grades. The cauldron I just made was only of the low quality. Medium quality would be two cauldrons, and high quality would form three cauldrons that will merge together to form a bigger cauldron.” as Bai Xiaochun thought hard about it, he sat down and started breathing deeply. Once the moon was up high, his eyes opened with a flash of light, the Qi within his body was already replenished.
“This technique can become my killer move. If those Zhou Xinqi admirers were to find any trouble with me, they’d have this cauldron on their heads.” Bai Xiaochun was just feeling relieved when the freckled man came to his mind, which made him furrow his brow.
“He’s in the Inner Sect, and to be in the Inner Sect, you need to be at least at the eighth level of Qi Condensation…” Bai Xiaochun felt unease as he was deep in thought while staring at his skin. He got up and took a few steps, his speed was extremely fast. He put his index finger and thumb together, which created a black light that he flung to the side.
“Ka-Ka” sounds could be heard as a subtle explosion rang in the air. Bai Xiaochun’s movement seemed flawless. He looked at his two fingers, and slowly calmed himself down.
“This is my trump card… it’s for saving my life.” Bai Xiaochun released a soft sigh, thinking that the self-defence killer move should be as strong as possible. He was, however, scared of the Unending Longevity Technique.
He did try to improve his Unending Longevity Technique after acquiring the impenetrable skin, but the sense of hunger that came with the training was just too much for him to handle.
Only small chicks were left here. There really was nothing left for him to eat, and if he relied solely on the spirit food here, Bai Xiaochun was sure he would starve to death before completing the training.
He had also searched the entire mountain for other spirit beasts to use as food, but after the great chicken thief events, people no longer kept their livestock in open areas in order to protect it.
Bai Xiaochun was stressed, his face troubled. Just as he was thinking about ways to solve the hunger problem, he suddenly thought of that Life-prolonging Pill.
“Oh yeah…” Bai Xiaochun’s eyes brightened. There were many different types of spirit herbs, not only for cultivation, but also for replenishing Qi. Upon achieving the impenetrable iron skin, Bai Xiaochun had realized that practicing the Unending Longevity Technique essentially needed Qi.
