7: Small Mastery of the Golden Sword Technique

Qinghe Ward was built against the Wolong Mountain, and Qinghe Village was the same.

He walked out of the village.

Taking advantage of no one being around, Qin Feng plunged into Wolong Mountain.

The mountain was overgrown with trees and dense with weeds.

From time to time, small beasts ran past on the path, but Qin Feng ignored them, just hurrying on his way.

Hunters occasionally hunted on the outskirts of the mountain range, but Qin Feng was unwilling to reveal his identity, so he could only go deeper into the mountain range.

After entering the Qi Refining stage - first level, Qin Feng's Physique already far surpassed ordinary people, and he was even more agile than an old hunter of many years.

Using Spiritual Qi to boost his foot speed was very costly; after a full half an hour, his Spiritual Qi was exhausted.

Fortunately, he had arrived at his destination.

In front of him was a cliff, and there was a cave about two or three meters above the ground, with a vine hanging down beside it, just enough for a person to climb up.

When Qin Feng was Qi Refining a few days ago, he went up through here.

Coming here again, Qin Feng was familiar with the path; his hands gripped the vine like a nimble ape, and in a few steps, he entered the cave.

The space inside was very large, and there was a skylight above.

Several wild monkeys saw someone enter and immediately slipped away down the vine hanging from the skylight.

“Time is tight, so I have to be extravagant now.”

Qin Feng, with a pained expression, took out a Spiritual Qi Medicinal Pill from his Storage Ring.

The moment the Medicinal Pill entered his mouth, the Spiritual Qi Medicinal Pill instantly transformed into boundless Spiritual Qi, rapidly replenishing his Qi Sea.

At this moment, five different colored lights floated in Qin Feng's Qi Sea, corresponding to: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Ordinary miscellaneous Spiritual Root Cultivators could at most Cultivate two types of Spiritual Qi simultaneously, but the Cultivation Technique Qin Feng Cultivated was different; he could do it simultaneously!

After his Spiritual Qi recovered, Qin Feng began to choose the Spells recorded in the Eighteen Transverse Arts.

This book was an autobiography written by a Qi Refinement Stage Peak Loose Cultivator, recording eighteen powerful Spells he learned throughout his life.

According to the book, learning these eighteen Spells would make one invincible among Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators!

Earth Wall Spell, Water Shield Spell, Golden Blade Technique, Fire Dragon Spell, Taiyi Rejuvenation Spell…

The eighteen Spells were basically all commonly used by Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators, but ordinary Cultivators simply didn't have the energy to practice so many Spells.

Qin Feng also felt a headache.

If he learned all of them, he didn't know how long it would take, so Qin Feng ultimately chose the Golden Blade Technique and the Earth Wall Spell.

“One for attack and one for defense, plus the Fire Snake Talisman, I don't believe I can't kill that bastard Zhao Kang!”

A pleased expression appeared in Qin Feng's eyes, and then he began to recite the Golden Blade Technique incantation and hand seals.

Unconsciously, an hour passed.

After memorizing the Golden Blade Technique incantation and hand seals, Qin Feng began to hold his breath and concentrate, attempting to cast it.

As the metal-attributed Spiritual Qi circulated to the hand forming the hand seals, combined with the incantation, Qin Feng could feel the metal-attributed Spiritual Qi in his hand gradually becoming violent.

Two breaths later, Qin Feng suddenly looked at the stone wall in front of him and fiercely struck out with a single hand seal!

“Golden Blade Technique!”

Boom!

In an instant, a golden light burst forth in the air, and the casting failed!

Damn!

Qin Feng adjusted his emotions and began to continuously practice the Golden Blade Technique hand seals.

The more times he failed, the more excited Qin Feng became.

If it was too easy, it would easily make people doubt whether they were Cultivating a fake immortal…

An hour later, the Golden Blade Technique casting failed!

Half a day later, the Golden Blade Technique casting failed!

…

By evening.

Golden Blade Technique casting… succeeded!

In front of Qin Feng, a three-foot-long golden small knife appeared out of thin air in the Void Realm, rapidly slashing towards the stone wall in front.

Bang…

The stone wall vibrated slightly, and at the same time, broken stones continuously fell.

He looked closely at the spot where it hit.

The golden knife seemed to cut through tofu, directly splitting open a crack.

“This thing is really powerful, but… it consumes a lot of Spiritual Qi!”

The moment the Golden Blade Technique succeeded.

Qin Feng felt all the Spiritual Qi in his body instantly drained, and his eyes rolled back, almost causing him to faint.

If it weren't for the Spiritual Qi Medicinal Pill, he probably would have stayed here overnight.

While recovering his Spiritual Qi, Qin Feng was also summarizing the casting techniques.

A moment later, Qin Feng began to continuously cast the Golden Blade Technique again, stopping only after succeeding five or six times in a row.

At this moment.

Outside the cave, the sky gradually darkened.

Qin Feng knew that the Earth Wall Spell had no hope today, but before leaving, he still had to try the Fire Snake Talisman.

Boom!

Suddenly, a violent red light erupted from inside the cave, and after a good while, Qin Feng emerged from it, covered in dust.

The power was good, it's just that the attack range was a bit large…

…

By the time Qin Feng returned home, it was completely dark.

In the courtyard, there was still the familiar glow of the brazier, and Qin Yue sat beside it mending clothes.

“Brother, you’re back? I’ll go get you something to eat.”

Seeing Qin Feng enter from the doorway, Qin Yue immediately got up and went into the kitchen; the food was already warming in the pot and could be served right away.

After eating.

Qin Feng returned to his room, lit the oil lamp, and began to practice the Concealing Breath Technique.

Cultivation Techniques like the Turtle Breath Technique were for Mortals pretending to be dead.

Only the Concealing Breath Technique could truly conceal one's Spiritual Qi, making it impossible for others to guess one's Realm and the Spiritual Qi on one's body…

…

A night passed.

Qin Feng barely learned the Concealing Breath Technique; as long as he maintained the concealing state at all times, he would eventually master it skillfully after some time.

The next morning.

Qin Yue was cooking in the kitchen, and Qin Feng sat by the door, lost in thought.

During this period, he not only entered the Qi Refining stage - first level Realm but also learned the Golden Blade Technique and the Concealing Breath Technique, in addition to gaining a Storage Ring and various Medicinal Pills.

Most importantly, there were still nine Fire Snake Talismans left.

This thing was quite powerful.

When he used it, Qin Feng felt that the moment the Fire Snake Talisman exploded, if he had taken a few more steps forward, he probably would have died on the spot!

“I wonder if Zhao Kang can withstand it.”

Qin Feng sat on a small stool, propping his chin with his hand in contemplation, and unconsciously, he actually smiled.

Thump, thump, thump…

A series of dense footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

A moment later, several people in black robes, led by Zhao Kang, walked in.

Each person held silk and parcels, and the two in the middle also carried a red box.

“Brother Qin, you two should have thought it through by now, right?”

“Old Master Wang sent people to bring the betrothal gifts. Where should we put them?”

Zhao Kang held a folding fan in his hand, and beside him stood a middle-aged man with a goatee.

It seemed these people were from the Wang family.

Qin Yue in the kitchen poked her head out to look and immediately came out.

“Immortal Master Zhao, are you… mistaken? We never agreed to this marriage.”

Qin Yue looked troubled, and the goatee man looked at Qin Yue in surprise, smiling as he said:

“Madam Qin is indeed as beautiful as the rumors say. My Old Master truly wants to marry Madam Qin and will certainly not mistreat you in the future, so please rest assured, Madam Qin.”

Zhao Kang then said expressionlessly, “The Wang family has already chosen a date. The first day of next month is an auspicious day. We will come to pick up the bride then, so you two should prepare.”

The few people completely disregarded the attitude of Qin Yue and her brother, put down the betrothal gifts, and left.

Among these people, Zhao Kang was the most delighted.

He had been stuck at the Qi Refining stage - first level Realm for a long time.

By currying favor with the Wang family this time, with a little guidance from their Genius Disciple when he returned, he would surely be able to Breakthrough his Cultivation!

“Oh dear~ What should we do!”

Qin Yue paced anxiously, looking at the betrothal gifts in the courtyard, while Qin Feng squinted his eyes, saying nothing.

The Wang family merely had a clansman who had joined the Chang Sheng Sword Sect, and besides this clansman, all other members of the Wang family were Mortals.

What was there to be so arrogant about?

They were powerful, but his Fire Snake Talisman was not necessarily less powerful!
