Chapter 20 – Is this the second level of qi cultivation?

Chapter 20 – Is this the second level of Qi Practicing?
In the other three white light clusters, two Gengjin Sword Skills opened out, as well as a first grade talisman, the Earth Wall Talisman.

When used, it could inspire a thick earth wall about ten feet high, with a good protective effect.

Lu Xuan digested the Gengjin Sword Skill in his mind, carefully experiencing and sensing the subtleties of the sword skill.

A golden stream of light appeared near instantly as the Spiritual Energy revolved, passing through a huge boulder with a whoosh.

He felt that the sword skill he had mastered had reached the minor achievement level, consuming less spiritual energy when he urged it, it was faster, and its power was also much higher.

The six mature Spirit Glow Grasses that brought with them six white light clusters caused Lu Xuan’s battle power to further increase.

He couldn’t even wait for Qin Ming to find him a little later, preferably waiting for all the Spirit Glow Grasses to mature, or even the Red Cloud Pine or Sword Grass to mature would be acceptable to him.

However, he was also clear that this was delusional, and that his opponent would naturally take action very quickly after figuring out his bottom line and pattern of action.

It was night, and all was silent.

A figure quietly surfaced outside Lu Xuan’s courtyard without causing a single sound.

“Damn brat, quite cunning, actually hiding inside the house all this time and not going out.”

“However, you’re too naive to think that you’ll be safe and sound just by hiding in your house.”

Qin Ming stood quietly outside the courtyard, looking at the black thorns on the verdant courtyard wall, a hint of mockery surfaced on his face.

He was emboldened by his cultivation level that was two small realms higher than Lu Xuan’s, and with a cat-and-mouse mentality he even made it a point to see Lu Xuan’s side.

Unexpectedly, that little loose cultivator at the second level of Qi Practicing was quite cautious, and had been hiding in the house for this period of time, no longer going out to help people clean up pests.

He guarded around for a few days, the other party did not go out, he simply direct over.

“Basic protective formation, if it is a first grade formation will still play a small role, this kind of protective ability, directly break open is.”

He pointed one hand at the thin layer of aura shield outside the courtyard, a few sharp ice spikes surfaced, rotated, and with a low whistling sound, he directly broke the protective formation.

Coming to the window, his spiritual sense sensed that there was no movement inside the house, and the breaking of the protective formation didn’t seem to have caused any alertness in that small loose cultivator.

“Spiritual sense is too poor, actually still sleeps so much, also good, let you die in a deep sleep and suffer a little less pain.”

Qin Ming muttered in his heart, and then, a half a zhang long ice spear emerged above his head, the tip of the spear trembled slightly, and the white jade-like body of the spear emitted a biting coldness.

The ice spear softly chirped and stabbed at the cultivator on the bed like an arrow.

“Eh?”

The ice spear went straight through the entire bed, but Qin Ming felt that something was wrong and walked towards the wooden bed, a layer of frost armor appearing around his body, wanting to check it out.

Just as he entered the room, a golden stream of light instantly stabbed at Qin Ming’s head at an extremely fast speed.

The frost armor was easily pierced by the golden stream of light, and was about to pierce directly into his head.

Sensing the deadly threat posed by the golden stream of light, in an instant, a jade tablet on Qin Ming’s waist silently shattered, and a layer of clear and misty spiritual light was generated on the surface of his body, expanding rapidly and blocking the remaining golden stream of light from the outside.

“Good guts!”

Qin Ming looked at the rapidly dissolving Gengjin Sword Technique, a trace of fear flashed across his face.

He had already been cautious enough to add a Frost Armor Technique protection to himself when he came in, but he had not expected that a Spirit Plant Master at the second level of Qi Practicing would release a sword trick that was actually this lethal.

The Frost Armor Technique that had done countless feats in the past was actually so unbeatable!
If it wasn’t for that jade tablet artifact sensing the danger and protecting it in time, maybe he would have fallen underneath this sword trick.

After the fear, there was a look of regret.

This jade plate magic weapon that blocked the fatal blow for him was extremely difficult to come by, and cost him nearly two hundred spirit stones, which he had been carrying close to his body in case of any mishap.

But did not expect, so precious jade tablet magic weapon, actually in this Qi cultivation second layer of the small loose cultivator body consumed! “Very well, your attainments in sword techniques far exceed my imagination, but that’s where it ends.”

“Wasting one of my top-tier protective spell artifacts, I will make you regret it!”

He looked at Lu Xuan, whose figure emerged from the darkness in the corner, and said with a sinister expression.

“I’m just an ordinary Spiritual Planter, why should a noble cultivator like you, who is at the middle stage of Qi Practicing, be driven to extinction like this?”

Lu Xuan said in a bland tone.

“The fault lies in the fact that you exterminated so many of my larvae and earned the spirit stones that should have belonged to me.”

“The biggest mistake is that you’re just a loose cultivator at the second level of Qi Practicing, get it?”

Lu Xuan didn’t say much and hooked his hand towards Qin Ming.

“Hmph!”

Being so provoked by a Spirit Plant Master at the second level of Qi Practicing, an evil fire bubbled up in Qin Ming’s heart, and his Spiritual Energy revolved.

Dozens of ice cones emitting bone-chilling coldness flew up in front of him, enveloping Lu Xuan in all the directions he could possibly dodge.

Lu Xuan’s face was expressionless as he flung out his hands, and ten or so first-grade talismans were unleashed in unison.

In an instant, densely-packed sword blades like a rain of arrows attacked Qin Ming, which were also interspersed with crimson fireballs, greenish-gray wood spikes, and so on.

“All of them are white spirit stones ah ……”

A thought quickly flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind, this strike had almost emptied out all the talismans he had collected during this period of time, and what he was fighting was a spirit stone battle!
At the same time, a pale silver-white sword blade trailed behind the many sword qi, not being the least bit conspicuous.

Seeing so many sword qi attacking him, Qin Ming cursed in his heart and pressed with one hand, a thick ice wall in front of him rose abruptly.

He did have extremely deep attainments in ice spells, the Frost Armor Technique could be so thin that it could freeze the black budworm larvae that were as thin as a hair, and it could also quickly form such a wall of ice that had extremely strong protective capabilities.

Hundreds and thousands of sword qi whistled, and in the clanking sound, countless tiny cracks appeared on the ice wall, and under the impact of the sword qi behind it, the cracks spread rapidly, and large and small pieces of ice fell.

Bang.

The crimson fireball struck the cracks, and the ice and fire mingled, instantly producing a violent explosion.

A huge hole appeared in the ice wall.

A silver-white sword light quietly passed through and stabbed at Qin Ming’s head.

“Good timing!”

A flying sword flew out from Qin Ming’s waist and met the silver-white sword blade.

The moment the two were just about to make contact, the silver-white sword blade suddenly split into dozens of thin remnants.

The fragments carried sharp sword intent and attacked various parts of Qin Ming’s torso amidst his eye-rolling expression.

One of the largest thin fragments circled around the back of Qin Ming’s head and gently scratched through, a thin line appearing on the back of his neck, followed by a spray of bright red blood.

The moment his head fell, Qin Ming’s only remaining sliver of consciousness saw one or several thin fragments lodged in his limbs, heart, lower yin, and other locations.

“The hell is this the second level of Qi Practicing?”

Endless remorse surged in his heart, and then his consciousness fell into endless darkness.
