Chapter 52 - Supreme Qi Refinement Technique, A Dao That Belongs To Himself

In the rear cliff, Xiao Muxue placed her finger on Ye Ping’s forehead.

“Junior Brother, I’m going to teach you the supreme Qi Refinement technique, but before imparting it to you, I have a few things to let you know.”

Xiao Muxue said with a solemn expression.

“Senior Sister, please teach me.”

Ye Ping looked at Xiao Muxue solemnly.

“This Qi Refinement technique can be considered the best one in the world, but the cultivation process is extremely difficult. Not only is the beginning difficult, but the later stages are even more difficult. However, if you really succeed, you can easily challenge those who are at higher realms than you. Are you willing to learn?”

Xiao Muxue said solemnly.

After hearing that, Ye Ping immediately looked excited.

He was naturally willing to learn such a supreme Qi Refinement technique.

However, the only troublesome thing was that his cultivation aptitude seemed a little poor.

Thinking of this, Ye Ping couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Sister, I’m naturally willing to learn, but I have poor aptitude. Can I still learn it?”

Ye Ping voiced his concerns.

Hearing his words, Xiao Muxue couldn’t help but be stunned.

‘Poor cultivation aptitude?’

She felt a little helpless.

If his aptitude was poor, she really didn’t know what would be considered good.

‘Godfiend Body.’

That kind of constitution only existed in mythology.

Although Xiao Muxue was unclear of what the aptitude of the Godfiend body was like, she knew that it was rare and thus thought that it would not be too bad in cultivation.

Yes, Xiao Muxue had just checked Ye Ping’s cultivation method and had understood that Ye Ping had a Godfiend body which was very secretive and little known. She had also learned about the existence of such an existence by chance.

However, Xiao Muxue was curious about something.

Even if one who had a Godfiend body had poor aptitude, they would have revealed some clues during the checks conducted by the various sects.

Those with such a constitution were born with supreme strength. They did not have to cultivate and would be able to send a Qi Refinement cultivator flying with a single punch after reaching adulthood.

Theoretically, even if he had a poor aptitude, the major sects would definitely try their best to keep him after realizing the constitution he had.

After all, the physical cultivation lineage might have declined but that didn’t mean that it did not exist. Many sects would instruct their disciples to focus on physical cultivation during the Qi Refinement realm.

Why did the Sect Leader accept Ye Ping?

Xiao Muxue couldn’t figure it out, but she didn’t like using her brain to think about such questions either.

It would be meaningless even if she found out the answers to such questions.

‘Ye Ping couldn’t have gotten his constitution from studying a random manual, right?’

“Don’t worry, Junior Brother. No matter how poor your aptitude is, you will still get something out of it with me around.”

Xiao Muxue chuckled.

Her pretty and captivating smile made Ye Ping’s heart flutter, but he soon looked away, appearing a little awkward.

“Hahaha.”

Seeing how coy Ye Ping was, Xiao Muxue burst into laughter.

“Okay, close your eyes and listen to what I have to say.”

Xiao Muxue instructed Ye Ping to close his eyes.

In the next moment, Ye Ping closed his eyes.

“Junior Brother, I’m going to emphasize one last time, this cultivation technique is the supreme Qi Refinement technique. The future is unknown but the only thing I can guarantee is that if you can really cultivate this cultivation technique, you will surpass all cultivators.”

After Xiao Muxue said that, a ray of light entered Ye Ping’s mind.

In an instant, Dharmic formulation appeared.

Ye Ping once again entered the state of enlightenment.

On the other hand, Xiao Muxue retracted her hand and looked at Ye Ping silently.

Actually, the cultivation technique that she was going to impart to him had an extremely mysterious origin.

However, Xiao Muxue knew that it could be considered the best Qi Refinement technique in the world.

The reason they dared to call it the best was because of its special attribute.

One would have to cultivate it on their own.

Each realm had to be comprehended by oneself.

Everything could be cultivated to the extreme.

If one had good aptitude, they would be able to become immortal.

If one had poor aptitude, they would never reach the realm of Mahayana no matter how hard they cultivated.

However, each realm was opened by oneself.

Indeed, each realm belonged to one’s own creation.

Each step and realm belonged to oneself.

No matter how incredible cultivation techniques created by others were, they still belonged to others and one would only be able to follow in their footsteps. It would be hard to surpass the creator.

However, this cultivation technique was different because every step was created by oneself and hence, they would not be following in the footsteps but creating an unprecedented path.

Xiao Muxue also wanted to cultivate it, but unfortunately, it could only be cultivated by those who had never cultivated before. She had already cultivated other techniques and hence, could not cultivate this one.

Of course, even the ability to practice this technique varied from person to person.

Ye Ping happened to be able to cultivate it.

However, everything would depend on Ye Ping’s fate. If he could comprehend well, he would be able to deduce the technique to the extreme.

Otherwise, cultivating this cultivation technique would be no different from others. The effects would be inferior anyway.

However, Xiao Muxue felt that Ye Ping could maximize the effects of this cultivation technique because his constitution was different, though she wasn’t clear how exactly. It had to depend on Ye Ping.

“Junior Brother, this is as far as I can help you. Your future attainments will be dependent on yourself, don’t disappoint me.”

In the next moment, Xiao Muxue muttered a sentence in her heart, and then left the rear cliff.

Less than an hour after Xiao Muxue left, wisps of spiritual energy surged into Ye Ping’s body.

At this moment, Ye Ping was extremely conscious, but it was only during enlightenment.

He immediately comprehended the cultivation technique Xiao Muxue had imparted to him.

At the same time, he was also extremely shocked.

The reason being, the cultivation seemed very familiar.

It was very similar to guiding the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body.

‘I’m familiar with that.’

Ye Ping really did not expect that he would actually mistakenly practice the same thing as the cultivation technique that his Senior Sister had imparted to him, even before he met her.

Thinking of this, Ye Ping began to cultivate immediately without any further ado.

In an instant, spiritual energy entered his body.

It then spread into a spiritual meridian.

It was in the implantation meridian.

When spiritual energy entered the bodies of cultivators, the spiritual energy would be stored in spirit meridians.

After the Foundation Establishment realm, one would be able to open their dantian and store more spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy that entered their bodies would then turn into Dharmic powers.

To cultivators, Dharmic powers were extremely important. If their Dharmic powers were depleted, they would be no different from ordinary people apart from having better strength.

That was the greatest difference between the Qi Refinement realm and the Foundation Establishment realm.

At the tenth level of the Qi Refinement realm, one would be able to have ten spirit meridians and the spiritual energy contained in them was less than 1% of the spiritual energy contained in the Dantian.

The greater one’s Dharmic powers, the stronger the Dharmic Dao.

Ye Ping continuously incorporated spiritual energy into his body.

Six hours passed.

The first spirit meridian was full of spiritual energy.

That meant that he had perfected the first level of Qi Refinement.

That’s right.

It took him just six hours to break through the first level of Qi Refinement.

Besides, since Ye Ping had a Godfiend constitution, his spirit meridians had ten times the capacity of that of normal cultivators.

The increase in difficulty was more complicated than just a tenfold increase.

However, despite the harsh conditions, Ye Ping still managed to reach the first level of Qi Refinement in six hours.

If the other cultivators caught wind of it, there would probably be an uproar in the world of immortal cultivation.

Reaching the first level of Qi Refinement in six hours was not an exaggerated manner.

However, to have spirit meridians that were ten times stronger than that of ordinary cultivators and achieving that feat in six hours, it was extremely absurd.

However, when Ye Ping officially reached the first level of Qi Refinement, several different comprehensions appeared in his mind.

“Supreme Qi Refinement technique.”

The ancient sutra appeared in his mind.

There were thousands of words, all of which were full of mystery.

Those sutras appeared in Ye Ping’s mind and he immediately understood the mystery of it.

“Recast Qi Refinement.”

Yes, Recast Qi Refinement.

The “Supreme Qi Refinement” required one to continuously recast their realm.

After reaching the tenth level of Qi Refinement, one would have to recast and cultivate to incorporate their spiritual energy into the spirit meridian and then start cultivating again from the first floor.

After repeating it 36 times, the Qi refinement would be perfected.

Each recast was a building of the foundation and the Qi Refinement realm was the first major realm of immortal cultivation, and also the most important one. The stronger one’s foundation, the brighter their future.

If one were to recast it 36 times, they would be able to kill a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment realm despite being in the Qi Refinement realm.

Qi Refinement realm vs Foundation Establishment realm?

The cultivators would be agitated to hear that.

According to the ‘Supreme Qi Refinement technique’ in his mind, Ye Ping was very clear that he would never reach a bottleneck in the Qi Refinement realm. As long as he had enough spiritual energy, he would be able to break through.

He wouldn’t face the tough situation of a bottleneck.

At the thought of this, Ye Ping couldn’t help but rejoice. In the beginning, he felt a little troubled when he found out that he had to re-cultivate 36 times. However, he fortunately would be able to break through continuously as long as he had sufficient spiritual energy. That gave him a huge relief.

Just like that, Ye Ping snapped out of his cultivation and opened his eyes.

However, at the next moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

It was… his eldest Senior Brother, Su Changyu.
