Chapter 118: Chapter 116 Lifebound rge
The scorching sumr sun hung high in the sky.
The sweltering weather outside did not affect Qin Feng’s mood; his face was filled with joy.
It had been several months since he returned to the Sect, and these months of dedicated cultivation had completely solidified his foundation. The True Yuan within his body had been refined to a pure and robust state, his ridians tough, no longer bearing any lingering adverse effects from his previously rapid advancent.
In the last mission, he had obtained nurous Spirit Stones and various resources. With the help of the Demon Refining Pot, once his foundation had solidified, he had repeatedly absorbed Pure Spirit Qi from the pot for cultivation, and now he was not far from reaching the ninth level of Qi Refinent.
He had not advanced directly to the ninth level of Qi Refinent because he had learned from past experiences.
Although absorbing a large amount of Spiritual Energy rapidly sped up the advancent process, it also required ti and resources afterward to stabilize the realm, which was ultimately not worth it in the long run.
...
Therefore, even though he was also using the Demon Refining Pot for cultivation now, he did not advance directly as before but instead chose a more secure thod of cultivation.
All these progresses were within Qin Feng’s expectations. The real reason he was grinning ear to ear in his room was that not only had he purified the Demon Energy inside the Ruyi Golden Snake half a month ago, but after hundreds of trials, he finally managed to rge with his Lifebound Spiritual Beast.
Of course, this was closely related to the guidance of Liu Xuanling.
Since Liu Xuanling had returned from her master, she would occasionally summon Qin Feng to give him so pointers; that was the real reason he could rge with his Lifebound Spiritual Beast so quickly.
Without Liu Xuanling’s guidance, according to his original pace, it would have taken him at least another year to achieve this step.
After rging with the Ruyi Golden Snake, Qin Feng’s body did not change much, except for a pair of sharp, knife-like wings on his back and a layer of nearly invisible golden scales on his body.
He secretly felt relieved; thankfully, he did not look bizarre after the rge.
Many disciples of the Beast Taming Sect underwent significant changes in appearance after rging with their Spiritual Beasts. For example, Yan Zhongli, each ti he rged with his Lifebound Divine Ape, would turn into a ten-zhang-tall humanoid giant ape. Although imnsely powerful, it was not very aesthetically pleasing.
It was only because his transford form was covered in long fur; otherwise, so indecent parts might have been exposed to public view.
Each disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, due to different cultivations and fortuities, would take on varied appearances after rging with their Lifebound Spiritual Beasts. Even if they refined the sa Spiritual Beast, the appearance after rging could differ; however, they usually displayed the strongest attribute of their Lifebound Spiritual Beast.
Since the Ruyi Golden Snake had a pair of sharp, incomparable golden thin wings, Qin Feng also had this most striking feature after transforming.
Moreover, the power within the Ruyi Golden Snake was far stronger and more profound than his True Yuan, only a step away from reaching Foundation Establishnt. Now rged, their combined powers gave him a sense of imnse strength.
What truly delighted Qin Feng was the Innate Divine Ability of the Ruyi Golden Snake, Ruyi Golden Light.
The Golden Light was like water, shifting as desired, yet it was also sharply revealing, its spirit compelling.
He tried to manipulate the Ruyi Golden Light, blowing out a breath.
The breath shimred with a golden glow, swiftly flying a zhang away. It circled around the tea cup on the case table seven or eight tis before flying back.
Qin Feng stretched out his finger, and the swipe of golden light twined around his hand, changing unpredictably with his thoughts. At tis, it transford into an exquisite ring, and at others, it took the forms of various weapons like knives, spears, swords, and halberds.
After playing for a mont, the golden light dispersed from his hand, seeping into his body, and disappeared.
He waved his hand slightly, and the tea cup on the nearby case table tipped over with a clatter, having already been sliced into seven or eight rings by the golden light, with only the base of the cup remaining in its original place.
Qin Feng felt satisfied.
The Ruyi Golden Snake truly lived up to its reputation as an Ancient Mutant Species; its Ruyi Golden Light, in terms of sharpness, matched that of a Spiritual Artifact Level Flying Sword.
This was within reason—the attack power of Gold Elent Demon Beasts was extrely powerful.
Like the Golden Winged Great Peng, it was among the elite, with an attack power so formidable it was horrifying to hear.
“I don’t know if there are any Elders in the sect who have the Golden Winged Great Peng as their Lifebound Spiritual Beast, but if there are, then their strength must be fearsoly strong.”
Just as Qin Feng was contemplating how to cultivate his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, he suddenly heard a knocking sound from outside.
Sweeping his Divine Sense, he ascertained the visitor was none other than Ma Jiu.
With a flash of Golden Light, Qin Feng deactivated the rge State, and the Ruyi Golden Snake reverted to its original form, coiling around his wrist again like a golden snake-shaped bracelet.
He got up, opened the courtyard door, and welcod Ma Jiu inside.
“Senior Brother is a rare visitor, what made you think of coming over today?”
“Ha ha…”
Ma Jiu laughed heartily, “Unlike you, Junior Brother, I am not so leisurely. I’ve been running around gathering resources for Foundation Establishnt.”
As he spoke, he sensed Qin Feng’s aura and couldn’t help but be a bit shocked.
He rembered the first ti he t Qin Feng in the Foreign Affairs Hall several months ago, the kid had just entered the Late Stage of Qi Refinent, but now his progress was unexpectedly rapid, almost reaching the ninth level of Qi Refinent.
It seed those disciples from the Spiritual Snake Peak were right; this kid really might catch the eye of Peak Master Liu and be taken in for cultivation. Otherwise, how could he have improved so quickly?
Ma Jiu wasn’t aware of the details but assud that Qin Feng had caught the eye of Liu Xuanling, which accounted for his rapid progress.
However, this situation was common in each peak. For so talented disciples, the Elders would invest more effort into their cultivation. Otherwise, if they failed to secure a spot in the Inner Sect during the sect competition, it would be a shaful reflection on the Elders.
Ma Jiu himself had started with a low cultivation base when he first joined, spending several years in the Outer Sect before gradually building his cultivation level and earning resources through various missions to achieve his current realm.
He always felt that his starting point was too low; otherwise, he might have been highly regarded by the Elders of the Sky Wolf Peak.
Shaking his head to dismiss those chaotic thoughts, Ma Jiu said, “I found a mission in the Foreign Affairs Hall that could earn us a large sum; I think you are quite suitable for it. How about it, do you want to join and make a fortune?”
Qin Feng, curious, asked, “Senior Brother, don’t you always prefer to work with newcors? Why did you think of this ti?”
Ma Jiu chuckled, his face showing no embarrassnt, “Working with others is for completing missions to gather resources, not for sending them to their deaths.
Usually, I only seek out new disciples when I am confident in the mission, otherwise if the disciples who accompany keep dying, not only will nobody want to work with in the future, but the sect might even investigate to determine if I am deliberately sabotaging fellow disciples.
This mission cannot be handled by myself; it requires teamwork, and since it is sowhat dangerous, I can’t afford to send newcors to their deaths.
Didn’t I think of you, Junior Brother, because you are notably capable?”
Qin Feng reflected for a mont and then declined politely, “Junior Brother has been engrossed in cultivation recently and has no interest in taking on missions.”
His cultivation had advanced rapidly lately; he was planning to focus on cultivation for a while to break through the ninth level of Qi Refinent and, naturally, did not want to be distracted by trivial matters.
Ma Jiu was not discouraged and smiled, “In cultivation, we should avoid becoming blindly obsessed; a balance between tension and relaxation is the Righteous Path.
Junior Brother Qin, you haven’t been cultivating for long. While you’re young, you should participate in more missions outside to broaden your experience and insight—it will benefit your future cultivation.
Otherwise, if you beco like those old cultivators who spend all year in the mountains, grinding away at cultivation from a young age, over the years, you’ll grow accustod to that life, lose your edge, and beco as dismal as those old cultivators. That is not desirable.
Young people should act like young people. If you don’t dare to venture out now, are you going to wait till you are old to struggle? By then, you might have lost the courage for a desperate fight, becoming diocre, just like the majority of Outer Disciples in the Sect, wishing for nothing more than a peaceful life under the sect’s protection.”
Qin Feng chuckled lightly, not expecting this guy to be quite the persuader. Normally, a young person might get hot-blooded by such talk.
Although he was not as easily impulsive as most youths, he acknowledged that Ma Jiu had a point. If he developed a mindset only focused on seclusion and cultivation at the Mountain Gate, never undertaking a mission throughout the year, he might indeed lose his sharpness.
Cultivation was not a race against ti; hence, he decided to go along with Ma Jiu, to see the world outside and gain so experience.
