Chapter 5 Clearance_1

"Senior Brother can modify cultivation techniques?"

Jiang Lingsu's eyes held a light of amusement, adding a hint of charm to her coquettish face.

Altering a cultivation technique was no easy task, was it?

Particularly for someone at the stage of Qi Refinement.

At least a cultivator at the Yuan Pill stage would have the privilege to revise a cultivation technique.

Therefore, Jiang Lingsu didn't take Senior Brother Qi Yuan's words seriously.

She took the jade slip containing the cultivation technique. Thinking of something, she warned him, "Senior Brother, it is crucial to carefully refine a cultivation technique. Do not arbitrarily modify or practice it. You could end up in a state of Qi deviation."

They had just met and she didn't want to overstep her boundaries, so she just left it at that.

Qi Yuan looked at her and muttered, "Do you think altering the cultivation technique is the only cause for concern?"

Jiang Lingsu was at a loss for words.

It seemed that Senior Brother was really out of his mind and the problem was a big one.

A foolish cultivator indeed!

She did not say anything more and returned to her room with the jade slip containing the cultivation technique.

"The Seven Colors Fire Refinement Technique?"

"Jade-class technique?"

"It seems quite ordinary."

Originally, she wanted to use this technique to investigate the power levels of the Peak Master of Seven Colors Peak.

But it seems ordinary.

Although the Jade-class technique is of decent grade, she didn't take it seriously.

After all, there was an abundance of Jade-class techniques in her family.

She examined the contents of the technique.

"Is the latter part ... modified by Senior Brother?"

"It seems quite convincing."

"At least, it fooled me."

"The Tower of Ascendance has a collection of thousands of techniques, I wonder if Sister Yaya has any annotations.

She is the best at modifying cultivation techniques. If she has time, let her evaluate the modifications. This way, if Senior Brother practices it, he can avoid detours."

Jiang Lingsu murmured to herself.

...

Inside the thatched cottage.

Qi Yuan's attention was completely focused on the gaming jade slip.

He had obtained the gaming jade slip for a year now.

He had also been playing this game, which was just an ordinary boss-killing game, for about a year.

The game map showed that this place was called Wangyue Continent.

There were four major forbidden areas and two deadly sites on the Wangyue Continent.

The map where Qi Yuan was currently located was called Xuanyuan Forbidden.

In the Xuanyuan Forbidden, there were many monsters.

These monsters were fierce and brutal.

There were serpents as thick as water buckets, flesh-eating flowers full of sharp teeth, and beetles as large as tanks.

These monsters were mere sources of experience for Qi Yuan.

However, there was a monster in the Xuanyuan Forbidden that annoyed Qi Yuan and affected his gaming experience.

That monster, a fox tail that looked like a calligraphy brush, had a loud name, the Crazy Brush.

In Xuanyuan Forbidden, Qi Yuan's gaming character was clad in golden armor, wreaking havoc.

Those mighty monsters did not stand a chance against Qi Yuan.

"A mere level 50 monster dares to show off in front of me!"

"Die!"

Qi Yuan swung his sword wildly.

At level 80, he could go on a rampage in Xuanyuan Forbidden.

Lately, Qi Yuan had been running wild.

Initially, when he entered Xuanyuan Forbidden, he was merely an average level 1 player.

The game he played was a survival game.

Within a year, he leveled up to level 80, walking boldly in Xuanyuan Forbidden.

Now he played as a brutal thug.

The monsters in Xuanyuan Forbidden trembled in fear at his presence.

Slashing monsters in the Wangyue Continent had proven to be of great assistance to Qi Yuan in his actual cultivation.

Otherwise, how was it possible for him to reach the stage of perfected Qi Refinement in a year's time?

Even the true geniuses would need at least three years to attain the refined Qi perfection stage.

The cultivation he gained in the game affected his actual abilities.

Of course, only partially.

After all, his character in the game now is incredibly strong.

How strong, you might ask?

Qi Yuan really has no idea.

But killing the Sect Master of the Divine Light Sect with one swing of his sword? Not a problem.

In real life, however, he's just a newbie at the Qi Refinement stage.

"Once I take down the final boss, Frenzied Brush, I'll have completely cleared this dungeon,"

This thought made Qi Yuan all the more eager.

Today, he was determined to clear the dungeon.

"I wonder what reward I'll get."

"Perhaps, they'll reward me with a harmless cultivation technique?"

"Or at the very least, a simple Foundation Establishment-level spiritual object would suffice."

Thinking of Frenzied Brush, Qi Yuan's eyes flickered with a strong desire to battle.

This type of brush takes on the form of a pen by day, but turns into a seductive fox demon by night, charming all those in its path.

What they love most is executing surprise attacks at night.

If you fall under their spell, their sharp teeth are revealed at the most intoxicating moment.

Their form instantly changes to a sharp pen, piercing the charmed one's... hole.

Qi Yuan had seen many monsters within Xuanyuan Hall fall victim to the Frenzied Brush, ending up in a tragic state.

While he wouldn't fall for the Frenzied Brush's charm, he had to be on guard when he went AFK at night.

He had even considered making a gold crotch protector for himself, like a certain character from an anime in his previous world.

In the end, digging a hole and burying himself before he logged off was his tactic to avoid the Frenzied Brush's surprise attacks.

"With the final Frenzied Brush boss being only level 70, it's a small matter,"

"But I need to hurry up and eliminate it. I still need to take my little pet out for a walk this evening."

Qi Yuan, holding a longsword and clad in golden armor, glistened with a rainbow of colors. Each strike from his sword set off a burst of special effects, making him look quite flashy.

In any other game, it would be immediately apparent: this guy was a whale, and a flamboyant one at that.

An hour later, Qi Yuan stormed into Xuanyuan Hall.

Brandishing his sword, he roared in a chuni way, "Where do you think you're going, monster?"

Submissive in real life, he was forceful and decisive in the game.

In response to his shout, was the scream of fear from the Frenzied Brush.

With his longsword in hand, Qi Yuan was unstoppable.

One by one, the Frenzied Brushes were broken.

Qi Yuan's experience bar kept rising.

"Come out, you monster!"

Qi Yuan yelled, trying to lure the biggest boss in Xuanyuan Hall out.

Sadly, no response met him.

All the Frenzied Brushes were scattered, trying to escape.

Qi Yuan was having a grand time slaughtering them.

However, at this moment, a brilliant golden light erupted.

Xuanyuan Hall started shaking.

A pen, reminiscent of a fox's tail, burst out from the ground.

Its sharp tip pointed directly at Qi Yuan, thirsting for a worthy opponent.

"Lucky I came prepared," said Qi Yuan calmly.

He had already prepared his countermeasures.

And even without any, he wouldn't be scared—he had his strengths to rely on.

"Summer Eight Slash!"

Qi Yuan used his most powerful blade technique.

Yes, he was using a sword technique with his sword,

In an instant, the Frenzied Brush was shattered.

Qi Yuan shrugged, "You were only worth one slash, too weak.

I still have seven slashes left, I wonder who will be able to receive them. It's so lonely."

With the fall of the Frenzied Brush, Xuanyuan Hall collapsed at that moment.

At the same time, a notification sound reached Qi Yuan's ears.

[Xuanyuan Dungeon cleared, rewards issued.]

[Reward 1: Heavenly Dao Shard x10]

[Reward 2: Divine Brush]
