Yang Xiaotian wiped the sweat from his forehead and left his room, only to realize it was already deep into the night.
He strolled over to Luo Qing’s courtyard and shared the details of his recent cultivation with him.
Luo Qing pondered and said, “This could be a sign of qi deviation.” “Qi deviation?” Yang Xiaotian was startled.
Luo Qing nodded, “Has the master been frequently consuming elixirs for cultivation lately?”
Frequently consuming elixirs?
Yang Xiaotian honestly replied, “In the past two months, I have taken over a dozen portions of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and four Innate Spirit Pills. ”
Luo Qing looked serious, “That’s the problem. The master has been frequently consuming a large amount of elixirs for cultivation. Although the realm has improved very rapidly, the mind hasn’t been able to keep up, leading to an unstable foundation.’
He then said, “In the path of cultivation, one must avoid blindly ingesting the power of medicines.”
“If the foundation is unstable, the higher the realm you reach, the more difficult it is to advance. In the long run, it would lead to ruin!”
Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath.
Every medicine has its side effects.
Was this the side effect of elixirs?
Fortunately, he thought the Dragon-Tiger Elixir was too low-level and didn’t take those ten high-quality Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, otherwise the qi deviation this time might have been even more severe.
A while later, Yang Xiaotian left Luo Qing’s courtyard.
According to Luo Qing’s advice, from now on, he should take elixirs for cultivation with a gap of at least one month in between.
And try to consume only high -quality or better elixirs.
Of course, supreme-quality elixirs would be the best.
After this experience with qi deviation, Yang Xiaotian truly understood why the prices of supreme-quality elixirs were far above those of high -quality and other grades of elixirs.
Returning to his room, Yang Xiaotian continued to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.
Once bitten, twice shy.
This time, he was much more careful.
Fortunately, no more illusions emerged.
The long night passed.
Sunlight streamed into the room.
It was warm.
Yang Xiaotian stretched and went to the courtyard, finding the Golden
Armored Beast breathing in and out at the void, obviously also cultivating. Seeing this, an idea struck him; Hong Feng’s cave residence seemed to contain cultivation techniques for demon beasts.
In the end, he found a copy of the Heavenly Beast Art.
The Heavenly Beast Art was one of the most top-tier cultivation techniques for demon beasts in Hong Feng’s cave residence.
After the Golden Armored Beast stopped its cultivation, Yang Xiaotian handed the Heavenly Beast Art to it. Fearing that the Golden Armored Beast couldn’t read, he read it out loud word by word and explained it as he went.
After Yang Xiaotian finished explaining it once and was about to explain it a second time, the Golden Armored Beast shook its head and gestured with its hands.
“You understand?” Yang Xiaotian grasped what the Golden Armored Beast meant.
The Golden Armored Beast smiled wide, nodded, then sat down in the posture described in the Heavenly Beast Art and began to breathe in and out on the spot.
Soon, beams of light radiated from the golden scales covering the Golden Armored Beast’s body.
Yang Xiaotian was amazed; he hadn’t expected the little guy to have such a
good memory and comprehension, mastering it after just one explanation.
Though the cultivation technique was only a set of pathways, such quick comprehension was still rare.
Seeing the Golden Armored Beast cultivate, Yang Xiaotian ordered the Half-Beast People, Ate and Ali, to go purchase the ingredients needed for refining Dragon-Tiger Elixirs and at the same time to inquire about the ingredients for the Four Symbols Spirit Pills.
Having bought a mansion, he didn’t have much money left now. He intended to refine Dragon-Tiger Elixirs to sell and save some money for unforeseen needs.
Of course, refining Dragon-Tiger Elixirs was also aimed at improving his alchemy level.
Practice makes perfect, and once he could produce top-quality Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, refining top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills wouldn’t be far off.
After Ate and Ali had left, Yang Xiaotian took the Phantom Sword Technique manual with him to the Academy Repository to exchange it.
Lu Zelin, the teacher guarding the Book Pavilion, saw Yang Xiaotian returning the Phantom Sword Technique so soon and couldn’t help but be astonished, “Are you sure you want to exchange it?”
Generally, academy students would practice a swordsmanship manual for over a month before returning it.
Someone like Yang Xiaotian, who came back to exchange it after just one day, was very rare.
Yang Xiaotian nodded, then exchanged it for another manual, “Vast Sea Sword Technique”.
Vast Sea Sword Technique, like Phantom Sword Technique, was one of the Acquired top-tier martial arts.
However, unlike the Phantom Sword Technique, Vast Sea Sword Technique was profound, with power that flowed endlessly.
Hu Xing saw Yang Xiaotian leaving with the Vast Sea Sword Technique and said, “It seems he couldn’t comprehend the Phantom Sword Technique, which is why he’s so quickly come back to exchange for Vast Sea Sword Technique.”
“Phantom Sword Technique involves illusory and substantive maneuvers and is much more profound than Sword Thirteen,” Lu Zelin said. “It’s normal that he couldn’t grasp it. Dean Lin had called him a Sword Dao genius; I guess that was an overstatement.”
Hu Xing shook his head and laughed, “He must have gotten lucky to have cultivated Sword Thirteen to the perfection realm.”
“If he can’t comprehend Vast Sea Sword Technique, he might bring it back tomorrow to exchange for another.”
Like yesterday, Yang Xiaotian flipped through the Vast Sea Sword Technique on his way back to the mansion. Once home, he had already memorized it in its entirety and began to practice.
After cultivating Vast Sea Sword Technique to perfection, Yang Xiaotian began to refine Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.
This time, he had Ate and Ali purchase a huge amount of ingredients, enough for him to refine thirty Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.
However, this nearly depleted all his savings.
Refining Dragon-Tiger Elixirs now, Yang Xiaotian was much more skilled than before.
Previously, he could refine a Dragon-Tiger Elixir in under an hour; this time it was even faster, taking only half an hour to produce one.
Soon, he had refined ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.
As night deepened, Yang Xiaotian didn’t continue to refine, but instead practiced the Primordial Dragon Art.
When dawn broke, he instructed Ate and Ali to take ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs to sell at various trading houses.
To avoid drawing attention, he told them to sell only two at each trading house.
He also had them purchase a large batch of ores in return.
Yang Xiaotian, holding the Vast Sea Sword Technique, returned to the Divine Sword Academy Repository.
Learning that Yang Xiaotian wanted to exchange sword techniques again, Lu Zelin didn’t ask further this time and swiftly processed the exchange for another top-tier Acquired sword technique.
After exchanging the sword techniques, Yang Xiaotian didn’t rush to leave but spent an hour looking at artifact refining books in the Book Pavilion before departing.
Watching Yang Xiaotian’s departing figure, Lu Zelin said to Hu Xing with a smile, “Seems like you were right; he couldn’t comprehend Vast Sea Sword Technique and has come back today to exchange it for another technique.”
Hu Xing laughed and said, “With a second -level Martial Soul, how high can his
Sword Dao talent really be? All he can do is practice something basic like Sword
Thirteen, and maybe he’ll come back tomorrow to exchange for another sword
technique. ”
Hu Xing’s guess was correct; the next day, Yang Xiaotian came back to exchange for another sword technique.
And in the days that followed, he exchanged for a new sword technique every day.
A month blinked past.
Yang Xiaotian had gone through all the top-tier Acquired swordsmanship manuals in the Divine Sword Academy Repository.
