Going Astray

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

This relationship could be completely shattered with just a small accident, but neither of them realized it.

They returned to their respective states of cultivation.

More than half a month passed quickly.

Qin Yi was meditating that night.

Minghe's elixir was very effective. Qin Yi, who had been struggling against the hurdle of True Qi Transformation for an unknown period of time, broke through smoothly. Qin Yi officially entered the second Muscle Tendon Change Stage of Martial Cultivation, the Yi Jin stage, corresponding to the Qin Xin stage of Daoist cultivation, and had already reached the top of the first level, with his Gang Qi completely stabilized.

This level of progress in spiritual practice is unprecedented.

At the same cultivation level, Martial Cultivation are stronger than Daoist practitioners in actual combat, but not by much. Their lifespan-extending effects are significantly weaker, and their rare and unusual uses are even more lacking—this is the way of Heavenly Dao. Furthermore, Martial Cultivation is more arduous, and some stages can be quite painful, making it unsuitable for a leisurely lifestyle. Therefore, the overall number of Martial Cultivation is less than that of Daoist practitioners.

Qin Yi's dual cultivation of Immortal Dao can compensate for these problems, and by supplementing his practice with Daoist Arts, his combat ability is far superior to that of pure martial arts. The idea is excellent, but it requires double the effort.

His Immortal Dao has reached the sixth level of the Phoenix Realm. In Technique Method, he mainly cultivates the Way of Transformation, while also practicing Fire Element Law Technique. His main profession is alchemy—the significance of Fire Element Law Technique is to complement alchemy.

A basic understanding of formations is sufficient; talisman making has been abandoned.

This was the direction of his cultivation that he and Liusu had decided on after repeated discussions. It was definitely not feasible to learn everything; some things had to be given up, otherwise one would only be a half-baked expert in everything.

The essence of talisman making is to use tricks. In reality, the effect of a talisman is that a certain Law Technique is pre-stored on the talisman paper. When facing an enemy, a small amount of Law Power is consumed to achieve the effect of a complete Law Technique, and it can also be used by others.

Of course, it has great practical significance, but for those who are already ready to refine Law Treasure, talismans can be replaced.

In a sense, Law Treasure are fixed and permanent talismans, but much more powerful.

The cultivation requirements for refining one's own Natal Magic Treasure are very high, and even Minghe has not yet achieved that—of course, she can now, and upon returning to her sect, she can choose the most suitable direction to refine a Natal Magic Treasure.

Bound to an existing unclaimed magical Law Treasure and use it yourself requires very little, and the more you cultivate, the more effective it becomes. Disciples of major sects rely on having more valuable items than others when they leave the mountain...

Therefore, Qin Yi is currently working hard to improve his Immortal Dao cultivation, hoping to bind the Demon Slaying Sword so that he can at least use it as a powerful move.

Once this goal is achieved, I can finally leave the mountain.

One should not stay in one place for too long to cultivate. When stillness reaches its extreme, one yearns for movement; when movement reaches its extreme, one yearns for stillness. The alternation of yin and yang is the natural order of things. No matter how good a place is, one needs to go out and explore after cultivating to a certain level, otherwise, one will encounter obstacles. Therefore, it is rare to see someone who finds a place to cultivate from the lowest level all the way to the highest level before emerging from seclusion. Such a person is called the "Sword God of Ten Mile Slope" and is an object of worship for the world.

Qin Yi is currently attempting to break through to the Phoenix Beginning Stage Seventh Layer, which is already considered the late stage of the Phoenix Beginning Realm. This is a minor hurdle that is not easy to overcome.

This was also Dong Huazi's level back then... Of course, everyone's seven levels are not the same thing. The quality of each level of "Creation Golden Chapter" is probably like the difference between a minister of a department and a shopkeeper compared to Dong Huazi's unorthodox methods. They both sound like ministers, but their strength is different, and the difficulty of improvement is also different.

The Immortal Qi within his body gradually took on the appearance of a thick fog. This is a sign that the "qi" in the void has begun to manifest, and from the void to the point of being "visible", it is a typical characteristic of the late stage of the Phoenix Emergence.

While they were all lost in their own world, a faint "plop" sound suddenly came from afar, as if someone had fallen into the water.

Qin Yi frowned and opened his eyes.

Once that meditative state is broken, it's difficult to get back into it quickly.

"Is this woman going to take a shower again?"

Liusu said, "It doesn't seem like it. Was it taking a bath or diving?"

Qin Yi suddenly stood up. "Could something have gone wrong?"

Seeing that he seemed to be heading into the secret passage, Liusu laughed and said, "If she really is taking a bath, you'll get chopped up if you barge in like that."

Qin Yi hesitated for a moment. "I can't worry about that now. It's all the same anyway. If something happens, I won't be at peace with myself if I don't care. How can I cultivate then?"

"Then go ahead, and if you get stabbed, just accept it."

Without further hesitation, Qin Yi rushed into the secret passage.

Upon reaching the pool, one could immediately see Minghe floating on its surface, seemingly dizzy. A trace of blood oozed from her lips, dissolving into the water—a horrifying sight.

Qin Yi rushed over, picked her up, and held her on the blue stone by the pool.

Her clothes were intact, though soaked through, which accentuated her beautiful figure.

The Liusu clicked its tongue twice.

This man's kindness surpasses his desires; it's Will of Heaven that such a kind person would become partners with her, Liusu.

Qin Yi had no idea what Liusu was thinking. He helped Minghe He sit up straight, placed a palm on her back, and channeled his Spiritual Qi into her.

They quickly discovered that Minghe's internal meridians were disordered, and her Law Power had no foundation and was running rampant. Fortunately, Minghe's cultivation was of a very balanced type, and her unbridled magical Law Power did not go berserk; otherwise, this single incident could have destroyed her meridians.

She wasn't too badly injured yet. Qin Yi closed his eyes and slowly helped her dissipate her Law Power, guiding it back to its origin.

This process actually made Qin Yi want to cry, because he discovered that Minghe's Law Power was many times stronger than his own—it was simply too powerful...

Her Law Power wasn't like his own Qi. He was still overjoyed at the fact that it was "visible," while she already had a solidified Golden Elixir. Qi takes the elixir as its foundation, circulates through the meridians, and returns to the elixir. What Qin Yi needed to do now was to guide the chaotic Qi back.

Even just guiding them is incredibly difficult, like a child tugging at the hem of a burly man running at full speed. "Uncle, come back..."

Not only was he exhausted like an ox, but his own Law Power was also irrationally pulled away and not merged into hers; instead, it was directly torn apart.

It's like a little kid who's been tugging at a strong man's clothes and falls down, sitting on the ground crying...

Qin Yi was filled with shame and indignation.

However, the children's hard work did have some effect. The burly men who had been running wildly gradually returned to their tracks. Although some were still running around erratically, at least Minghe was able to wake up on his own.

He withdrew his hand.

Without his hand to support her, Minghe's body immediately went limp and she fell backward.

She fell into Qin Yi's arms, and Qin Yi reached out to embrace her, looking down at her.

Minghe slowly opened her eyes and saw Qin Yi's concerned gaze. "Are you alright? There's still a bit of chaos left, can you sort it out yourself?"

Seeing Qin Yi's pale face due to exhaustion, Minghe's eyes were filled with complex emotions. She whispered, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist..."

Qin Yi frowned and said, "Speaking of which, how did you end up with Qi Deviation? With your upright cultivation, I feel it's the kind of thing where it would be difficult for you to go into qi deviation..."

Minghe pursed her lips, unsure how to answer.

Why did the gun misfire?

Because they were in a hurry.

She was breaking through to the third level of the Cloud Ascension Realm, planning to leave this place as soon as possible, to escape the presence of a man who desired her but whom she didn't strongly resist. She feared that if she stayed too long, she would increasingly yearn for a life of "flying together."

In her haste to leave him, she exerted too much force and violated the principles of spiritual cultivation.

Her cultivation was indeed balanced and peaceful; however, what was not peaceful was her own actions, which violated her own principles, so she deserved to suffer a qi deviation. Fortunately, the nature of her Law Power was very peaceful, and this temporary disorder caused by impatience was not an excessive rampage, thus preventing problems with her meridians; otherwise, it would have been even more troublesome.

Seeing Qin Yi's concerned eyes and pale face, she couldn't bring herself to say "because I wanted to leave as soon as possible." Instead, she said, "I'm sorry that you've damaged your cultivation, fellow Daoist. You're not strong enough to break through to the Phoenix Beginning Stage Seventh Layer. I'm so sorry."

"It's nothing. The pills you gave me to break through to the True Qi Transformation, aren't they worth more than this?"

Minghe blurted out, "Just because of repaying the pills?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them, and the atmosphere indeed quieted down because of them.

What kind of response is being expected from Qin Yi with this question?
