Gao Qing, who was originally unconcerned, finally recovered when he saw this scene. A dense shock surged onto his face. He was naturally aware of the strength of the collision from his battle with Shen Xuan that day. Even with his seven star Dou Zhe strength, he was unable to block that kind of energy.
Hence, when he saw that Shen Xuan did not expend much effort to finish off the Wang Han duo, he was so shocked. After all, the injuries in his body had only recovered by less than forty percent and he was unable to fight with anyone.
"How is that possible?" He mumbled. When he saw Shen Xuan walking towards him with a cold expression, he could not help but take a few steps back as his face turned pale.
"Bang!"
Slowly walking in front of Gao Qing, Shen Xuan's face was expressionless. Suddenly, he threw a punch, causing the latter to hurriedly dodge in shock. His fist violently smashed into the ancient pine tree behind the latter, forcefully piercing through it.
"If you dare to provoke me again, you won't be so lucky again!”Shen Xuan took a deep breath and suddenly grinned. He indeed wanted to beat Gao Qing up, but he knew that the time was not right. If he really did this, the group would pursue it and it would instead attract unnecessary trouble.
After saying that, he did not stay here any longer. He turned around and walked away, leaving behind Gao Qing and the other two with numb expressions. After a long while, Wang Han and the other two got up from the ground and walked to Gao Qing.
" Big Brother Gao Qing, this matter…" Wang Han hesitated for a while and asked with an ugly expression. Shen Xuan was no longer the same as before. He could let them off today, but if there was a next time, it was hard to say.
"No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today!”After being silent for a long while, Gao Qing finally sighed. The paleness on his face had not faded. After all, if Shen Xuan really wanted to attack him previously, he would not be able to resist at all.
"Yes, sir!"
The two of them nodded. They naturally would not foolishly reveal such a thing. Otherwise, they would lose all their face in this mercenary group…
……
When Shen Xuan returned home, it was already dusk. Shen Changtian was also at home and had already prepared the meal. It seemed that he did not enter the mountain to pick herbs. Seeing Shen Xuan return, his eyes lit up.
"Have you gone to the Book Collection Pavilion to choose a Qi Method or Dou Technique?”Seeing Shen Xuan sit down, Shen Changtian passed the bowl and chopsticks to him and asked.
Before Shen Xuan went to the library pavilion, he was training on the mountain, so he didn't tell Chen Changtian. He must have heard it from someone else. After all, the juniors who participated in the Hunting Association would receive their rewards on this day.
"Yes, I've chosen." Shen Xuan took a big mouthful of food before nodding his head. After hesitating for a moment, he took out two tattered books and handed them to Shen Changtian.
Shen Changtian took the two books and flipped open the first one. Seeing that it was a low grade Xuan cultivation method, he nodded in satisfaction and said,"Xuan Grade Qi Method, not bad."
Hearing this, Shen Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Not bad…This Xuan Grade cultivation method was considered extremely rare in this mercenary group, but in Shen Changtian's eyes, it was only considered good.
Next, Shen Changtian's gaze shifted to the Nine Heavens Clear Sky Vermilion Cloud. Only then did his gaze change without leaving a trace. His fingers moved, but in the end, he did not open it and handed it to Shen Xuan.
"It is already very good to be able to obtain a Xuan Class Middle Level Dou Technique. However, a Xuan Class Dou Technique is not that easy to practice. If you are unable to practice it, you should not bother to practice it.”
Shen Xuan was a little puzzled when he saw his father suddenly become a little strange. However, he hesitated for a moment before nodding his head solemnly.
"Commander Hu sent someone to deliver some things not long ago. I called your room. It's probably the reward from the Hunting Association.”While eating, Shen Changtian mumbled.
Shen Xuan smiled. The top three in the Hunting Gathering would naturally receive some rewards other than Qi Methods and Dou Techniques. Hence, he did not find it strange and merely nodded his head.
After dinner, he went straight to his room. On the wooden table beside the bed, there was indeed an exquisite small box. There was a faint sandalwood fragrance coming from it.
" Reward huh…" Shen Xuan opened the box and saw three purple plants inside. Each of them had a bright purple flower that was slightly demonic.
"It's actually a neo-demon God-Gathering Flower!"
Surprise surfaced in Shen Xuan's eyes when he saw the purple-colored flower. This Yiyao Gathering Soul Flower was considered a precious medicinal ingredient. As its name suggested, its effect was to focus one's mind and allow one to enter a training state more easily. Although it sounded rather useless, it was undoubtedly the best thing when one was about to break through a bottleneck in one's training.
"This time, the regiment has invested quite a bit.”He carefully placed the flower back into the box and couldn't help but grin. Although he might not have any use for it now, if he sold it, it would definitely be extremely popular.
After putting the wooden box away, he walked to the side of the bed and took out the two books again. Although he could not cultivate the Nine Heavens Clear Sky Pillar without the Nine Feather Ghost Sky Eagle's soul essence, he had coveted the Flame Controlling Technique for a long time.
After confirming that the doors and windows were shut, he flipped open the Flame Controlling Art and carefully read the contents inside a couple of times before closing the book. After which, he sat cross-legged on the bed. His eyes were tightly shut as his hands formed a series of strange seals.
Previously, he had practiced a Low Huang Qi Method. The Dou Qi within his body had been completely transformed into the pale-yellow Dou Qi required by the Qi Method. However, this Flame Controlling Art was completely different. It was not easy to directly transform Dou Qi over.
Therefore, he had to first purify all of his Dou Qi into the non-elemental Dou Qi that was used to form the Dou Qi Cyclone. Then, he would convert it into the fire elemental Dou Qi that was required to practice the Flame Controlling Technique.
Although the two Qi Methods were both fire attributed Dou Qi, they were extremely different in other aspects. If one were to directly convert them like this, it was very likely that it would harm one's foundation and cause an obstruction to one's future cultivation. Elder Shi didn't need to say this to understand.
While Shen Xuan was slowly forming the seal, Elder Shi had also turned into a black glow and rushed out of the former's body. This was not a time to be disturbed. Not only did he need to protect Shen Xuan from the outside, he also needed to pay attention to the changes within the latter's body at all times.
After all, a switching Qi Method was not as simple as the training of a Dou Technique. It would take a lot of effort to purify the original fire attributed Dou Qi into a non-attributed Dou Qi.
Shen Xuan closed his eyes and formed a seal. There was a faint Dou Qi flowing around his body. Even his skin had turned fiery red. A searing hot airwave slowly swept out from his body and spread throughout the entire room.
Chi!
Numerous black stripes appeared on his skin. Under the influence of these black stripes, the Dou Qi within his body circulated at an increasingly faster speed. His body also became as bright as the sun as it turned red.
This manner continued for nearly two hours. Just as Elder Shi could not help but want to go and investigate, the young man sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes emitted a deep black color, giving him a rather calm feeling.
Elder Shi sighed in relief when he saw that Shen Xuan had woken up. He immediately frowned and asked,"Why did it take so long?”
Logically speaking, the purification of Dou Qi was faster than the conversion of attributes. Moreover, Shen Xuan had the Devouring Power in his body that was beneficial for purification, yet he still spent such a long time.
"I'm not sure either." Shen Xuan shook his head. Immediately, a doubtful expression surged onto his face as he said,"The Dou Qi in my body seems to have changed…"
Elder Shi nodded slightly when he heard this. He clenched his hand and a trace of Dou Qi within Shen Xuan's body was extracted. He carefully observed it for a moment before some joy suddenly surged out from his face.
"This Dou Qi…should have undergone some changes during the process of merging with the Nihility Devouring Flame. Only then did it cause the Dou Qi within your body to possess a devouring ability. In this way, your body's resistance to the Nihility Devouring Flame will completely disappear!”
Elder Shi's tone contained an indescribable joy. Clearly, he did not expect such a change to occur. Moreover, such a change was beneficial to Shen Xuan.
"If I convert this non-attribute Dou Qi into fire attribute Dou Qi, there won't be any changes, right?”Shen Xuan hesitated for a moment when he saw Elder Shi's joyful expression before he spoke.
"It won't. The Nihility Devouring Flame is an extremely Yang object in the world. It can perfectly fuse with fire affinity Dou Qi and there will not be any resistance.”Elder Shi shook his head and said.
"That's good." Shen Xuan parted his mouth into a smile. He did not speak any more nonsense. He sat cross-legged on the bed, shut his eyes, and once again entered a training state.
He had seen the Flame Controlling Art several times and had memorized it. Now, he was ready to start cultivating this Flame Controlling Art.
"Phew…"
After letting out a deep breath, he placed both of his hands on his legs. His palms were facing the sky and the Dou Qi within his body slowly circulated according to a specific trajectory. With a thought, all of it gathered at the acupuncture points on his palms.
Soon after, the originally cream-white Dou Qi, which contained some dark-black Devouring Power, swiftly became violent. Its color also slowly turned fiery-red. A searing hot aura spread. It was many times stronger than before.
Elder Shi nodded slightly when he saw this scene. Anyone who had stepped into the Dou Zhe class and practiced Qi Methods had experienced the step of transforming Dou Qi. Hence, there was no need for him to teach them. He was happy to be idle by the side.
From a certain perspective, although transforming warrior power was not as complicated as purifying, it was a slow and delicate process. He could only endure the boredom and convert all the warrior power in his body into the attributes that needed to be transformed.
Hence, this process continued for six hours. It was only when the Dou Qi in his palms had completely turned fiery red and was not mixed with anything else that he stopped. Immediately after, the two balls of warrior power jumped in his palms and directly entered his palms.
At the same time, Shen Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. His eyes were filled with a wild joy that was difficult to dissipate. Soon after, he slowly stood up and looked at the smiling Elder Shi. He smiled and gently nodded.
" I've finally succeeded…" Looking at the young man in front of him, Elder Shi's eyes were filled with gratification.
