Special physique

Xiao Feng looked at the Sect Leader's serious face and understood that if he didn't give an explanation, he might not even be able to leave the Sect Leader's gate.

At this moment, Feng Luo's claim that Xiao Feng had consumed pills remained in the Sect Leader's mind.

If Xiao Feng had truly consumed pills for strength, the Sect Leader would surely never forgive him.

In just ten breaths, as if he had thought of a solution, he came before the Sect Leader, his expression equally serious.

"Master, I originally didn't want to tell you about this matter, because my Physique is too special."

When the Sect Leader saw Xiao Feng's serious expression, she looked at him skeptically, "Oh? Tell me about it. This Sect Leader will make my own judgment."

To be able to become the Sect Leader of the Qing Sect, she must have some capabilities herself.

Xiao Feng bowed slightly, "Master, I admit that my strength fluctuates, but it's not because I took pills."

When the Sect Leader learned that Xiao Feng hadn't consumed any pills, she basically felt relieved.

As the Sect Leader of the Qing Sect, she naturally knew that some people treated pills like candy, causing their strength to rise rapidly.

However, strength gained through pills was almost useless; the Spirit Energy within the body was superficial.

Once in actual combat, a seventh-stage Cultivator could very likely lose to a fifth-stage Cultivator.

Xiao Feng looked at the Sect Leader's serious expression, understanding that she had started to believe him, and took a deep breath, "My Physique limits my strength."

In just the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, he attributed all his troubles to his Physique.

The Sect Leader learned that Xiao Feng's Physique fluctuated between strong and weak, and her brow furrowed slightly, "According to you, your Physique is indeed special. It's best not to reveal it to others."

Although she couldn't figure out why Xiao Feng could reach the seventh-stage Cultivator in a short time, she understood that Xiao Feng would definitely not deceive her.

Since the two had spoken openly, the Sect Leader naturally had no other intentions. She pointed at Xiao Feng, "Use the Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique for this Sect Leader to see again."

Earlier, she had sensed that the Spirit Energy fluctuations were wrong. Afterwards, she suspected he had consumed a large amount of pills and hadn't observed Xiao Feng's performance of the Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique.

When Xiao Feng saw that the Sect Leader was willing to assist him in cultivating the Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique, he quickly sat cross-legged in front of her and used the Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique again.

The Sect Leader sat in front of him, carefully watching the movement of the Spirit Energy within his Meridians.

Soon, she discovered the reason.

The Sect Leader came behind Xiao Feng and struck him on the back with one palm, "Follow Master's Spirit Energy and circulate within your Meridians."

Meridians were the channels for circulating the Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique. Only by following the closest channels could one possibly learn the method of the Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique.

Xiao Feng closed his eyes tightly. He could feel a strange Spirit Energy entering his body.

The powerful Spirit Energy of a seventh-stage Cultivator enveloped that Spirit Energy, planning to follow behind it and find the method for using the Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique.

In just the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, the Sect Leader assisted Xiao Feng's Spirit Energy in circulating within his body once. She let out a sigh of relief, "Have you noticed that your Meridians have expanded quite a bit?"

Xiao Feng slowly opened his eyes, his face filled with shock, and nodded slightly, "Since the Spirit Energy circulated along specific Meridians, Disciple found that the speed of Spirit Energy circulation is faster."

The Sect Leader had thought he would need some time to comprehend, but who knew that Xiao Feng had already seen the reason. She burst into laughter, "Just practice like this, circulate it a few more times."

While he was cultivating the Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique, the Sect Leader returned to the table, looking at the dazzling array of medicinal herbs on it, her face smiling.

"I didn't expect him to get his hands on these rare medicinal herbs. I really don't know how good his connections are within the Sect."

To prevent other Elders from seeing the medicinal herbs in the room, she simply hid all of them for future use.

Just as she had finished putting away the medicinal herbs, she suddenly noticed that the Spirit Energy in the room had become chaotic.

Instantly, the Sect Leader's expression turned serious as she came before Xiao Feng, "Cultivation deviation?"

In her eyes, the only possibility that could cause the spatial Spirit Energy to resonate was that cultivation had gone down a wrong path.

The Sect Leader raised a single palm, her gaze fixed on Xiao Feng.

If he showed even the slightest abnormality, the Sect Leader would act immediately to guide Xiao Feng's path back to the right track.

Just then, Xiao Feng held his hands level, his face serene, circulating the Spirit Energy through all the Meridians in his body.

When the Sect Leader saw Xiao Feng make such a movement, she was momentarily stunned, "If I'm not mistaken... this should be a sign of advancement?"

In just the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, Xiao Feng slowly opened his eyes, sensing that his Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique had actually reached the second stage.

At the same time, the Sect Leader's voice came from the side, "Haha, congratulations! Your Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique within your body has already reached the second stage."

Xiao Feng had never expected that he could break through just by coming to the Sect Leader's place to deliver medicinal herbs. He burst into laughter, "This is all Master's credit."

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his mind.

[System Reward: Pill Refining Talent]

Xiao Feng was originally completely ignorant of pill refining, and even felt scared when he saw Disciples refining pills in the Pill Refining Room.

Now, he had actually obtained such a talent from the System.

The Sect Leader looked at Xiao Feng's face filled with ecstasy and waved her hand, "Since your strength has made progress, you should go back and rest as soon as possible."

Xiao Feng quickly stood up and bowed to the Sect Leader, "Thank you, Master."

As he spoke, he wanted to try out his new skill as soon as possible.

However, he had just arrived in the courtyard when the Sect Leader's voice came from behind, "Wait."

Xiao Feng turned back with a look of surprise, not understanding why the Sect Leader was looking for him now.

To show his respect, he could only return to the Sect Leader's presence again, "Master, is there anything this Disciple can help with?"

The Sect Leader waved her hands repeatedly, her face serious, "Regarding the matter of your special Physique, you must never mention it to anyone, understand?"

Although the Disciples within the Qing Sect might not pry into Xiao Feng's affairs too much, they might leak the news to outsiders.

If someone became interested in Xiao Feng's Physique, Xiao Feng would likely be in trouble.

As he saw the Sect Leader worrying about his safety, he nodded repeatedly, "Disciple understands. Disciple will not mention my Physique to anyone."

The Sect Leader heard Xiao Feng agree to her request and waved her hand, "Alright, go back and rest as soon as possible."

Xiao Feng bid farewell to the Sect Leader and quickly returned to his room, finding the medicinal herbs Zhou Wei had given him.

He had originally thought these medicinal herbs would be wasted, but no one expected the System to bring him such a talent. The medicinal herbs before him could all be turned into pills.

"It seems I need to go to the Pill Refining Room to take a look."
