People believe that the Qi Transmission Realm cannot evoke Blade Qi. In reality, the inability to do so is merely due to the impurity of a warrior's spiritual energy.
"Hmm, evoking Blade Qi in the Qi Transmission Realm? I've never heard of it. Yet, the author of this note claims it's possible!"
Luli, intrigued, looked down, growing more astonished and unable to divert his gaze.
"The Severing Wave Blade Technique is truly extraordinary. The book states that as long as a warrior possesses a spiritual weapon, using this blade technique can evoke Blade Qi even in the Qi Transmission Realm!"
Luli immersed himself in this discovery. Time passed swiftly, and before he knew it, the outside world was already covered in the dim light of dawn. Initially, the Severing Wave Seven Blades seemed mediocre to him, but now, with the Red Sleeve Blade in hand, everything was different.
"Excellent blade technique, truly enlightening to read this book!"
Luli strolled into the courtyard, where the maids and his mother were already asleep. Finding a secluded spot, he unsheathed the Red Sleeve Blade, and a flash of red light appeared.
Executing the Severing Wave Seven Blades, a red glow danced in the courtyard. However, regardless of how Luli wielded the blade, there was no separation of the Blade Qi from the blade.
Yet, the sharpness of the Red Sleeve Blade left Luli in awe. Without making contact, it had already created a shower of pear blossoms on the ground.
Late into the night, Luli stood holding the blade.
"Could there be something wrong? No, even though it's a fragmented version, the first move of the Severing Wave Blade Technique is complete."
Luli, holding the fragment, suddenly focused on the first sentence of the first page.
The inability to evoke Blade Qi is simply due to the impurity of a warrior's spiritual energy.
Luli fixed his gaze on this sentence, realizing that the issue lay here.
The system prompted him to exchange for this fragment, probably because he had acquired the primary cultivation technique and the Red Sleeve Blade. However, while he used the Red Sleeve Blade, he had yet to practice the primary cultivation technique.
Without practicing the primary cultivation technique, his spiritual energy purity didn't reach the required level, preventing him from unleashing the full power of the Severing Wave Seven Blades.
Luli sighed deeply. He walked back to his room, and though his residence was not large, it was quiet. Even the maids had their own rooms.
About to enter his room, he suddenly saw someone up at this late hour – Xiaozhao. What was this maid doing?
Quietly trailing her, Luli found her heading straight to the kitchen. Surprisingly, she was there to sneak a midnight snack.
Luli couldn't help but smile. Xiaozhao was a bit thin, almost bony, and when he gave her new clothes that day, he intentionally teased her. Now, by sneaking snacks, she probably didn't want to remain too skinny.
Knowing she was only sneaking a bite, Luli didn't interfere, following her silently, just in case she encountered any danger.
"Young Master said I'm thin, so I'll eat until I become plump! Hmph!"
Luli took a step and nearly stumbled.
Shaking his head, Luli returned to his room. Unable to sleep, he swallowed a Qi Nourishing Pill and began practicing according to the meridian Qi circulation diagram in the primary cultivation technique.
After a while, Luli suddenly opened his eyes.
"I didn't expect that in just a short moment, the medicinal power of this Qi Nourishing Pill would be refined much faster than before."
Luli took another pill. Feeling his own spiritual energy, he smiled inwardly as some tiny meridians in his body opened up, making his spiritual energy purer.
This was just from practicing the primary cultivation technique once.
A product of the system, truly a masterpiece!
This cultivation session lasted until the break of dawn. Luli had consumed all the Qi Nourishing Pills, and he could only stop reluctantly.
With a slight odor and some new small meridians opened, impurities and toxins were naturally expelled.
Checking the time, Luli went to the courtyard and washed his body with the water in the tub.
Feeling refreshed after getting rid of impurities, he exclaimed, "Ah! Young Master, what are you doing?"
Suddenly, a scream! But before the sharp female voice could fully sound, Luli covered her mouth – it was Xiaoxiao. Twice in one night, quite a lucky coincidence.
"It's just dawn, why are you waking up so early?"
"I needed to use the restroom!"
"Then go to the latrine, don't make a fuss!"
"Can't blame me! Young Master, you actually..."
"Stop talking back!"
"I'll go to the latrine!"
Xiaoxiao left, but Luli could hear her muttering, "I didn't see anything, didn't see anything at all."
Luli found it amusing. Drying himself off, he changed into clean clothes.
Although he stood there without leaving, when Xiaoxiao returned, Luli tossed his dirty clothes to her.
"You probably can't sleep now, right?"
"It's all Young Master's fault, showing me dirty things!"
"I..."
Luli felt a bit annoyed. What did she mean by dirty things? Wasn't he clean?
"Since you can't sleep, wash these clothes for me!"
Luli said, turning back into his room. Without practicing with Qi Nourishing Pills, Luli was a bit tired.
The next day, just as the sun rose, a servant rushed into Luli's yard.
"What's the matter? Why so flustered?"
"Miss Xiaozhao, someone is looking for Third Young Master outside the mansion! They say it's Chen Kang!"
"Oh, Young Master is still sleeping. When he wakes up, I'll inform him!"
"Alright!"
After Xiaozhao spoke, Xiaoxiao approached.
"Miss Xiaozhao, the young master only went to sleep at dawn!"
Actually, Xiaoxiao was quite sensible. Knowing who was more senior in the yard, she had offended Luli's mother before because, at that time, she belonged to the second madam.
"Sleeping so late!"
"Yeah!"
Luli, waking up at this moment, realized that Chen Kang had come to find him, and quite early at that.
It must be something urgent for him to come this early. Luli hurriedly went to the entrance of the Luli Mansion and asked the servant. Chen Kang had left since he couldn't wait for Luli.
Hastening to the courtyard he bought in the southern part of the city, Luli was greeted by Chen Kang.
"Young Master, you've finally come!"
"Chen Kang, what's the matter?"
"Young Master, may I have a word with you?"
Luli was a bit puzzled.
"Speak!"
"If I'm not mistaken, those women in your courtyard were rescued by Young Master from the Feihu Gang, right?"
"Oh, can you tell that?"
"One of those women left an impression on Chen Kang. When my Blackwater Gang originally intended to rob her caravan, we refrained in the end. It was the Feihu Gang who acted. Seeing her now, I guessed it
was the same woman. Hence, I came to you."
"You came to me early in the morning just for this?"
"Young Master, since you've saved them, what about the Feihu Gang?"
"The entire gang, from top to bottom, has been annihilated!"
Luli had no intention of hiding the fact that he had destroyed both the Blackwater Gang and the Feihu Gang.
"Young Master used bandits to practice his sword skills?"
"You can think of it that way!"
"Young Master, you must never do such a thing again!"
Chen Kang suddenly looked horrified and knelt down.
"Why?"
"Maybe Young Master is unaware, but to outsiders, these bandits on Tianmang Mountain appear scattered and unconnected. However, they are secretly linked!"
Luli stared at Chen Kang; this was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
"Nine years ago, there was a high-level Qi Transmission Realm expert practicing sword skills with bandits. Do you know what happened to him later?"
