"Senior Brother, you can even modify cultivation techniques?"
Jiang Lingsu's eyes smiled, adding another touch of charm to her alluring face.
How could cultivation arts be so easily modified?
Especially by a Qi Refining cultivator.
Those qualified to modify cultivation arts were at least Core Formation Cultivators.
Thus, Jiang Lingsu did not take Senior Brother Qi Yuan's words seriously.
She accepted the Technique Jade Slip, then thought of something and offered a reminder. "Senior Brother, cultivation arts are extremely important. You must not alter them carelessly or cultivate them recklessly. It can easily lead to Qi Deviation!"
She had only known Senior Brother Qi Yuan for a short time. The greatest taboo was speaking too deeply with a shallow acquaintance, so she merely gave him that one reminder.
Qi Yuan looked at her and quietly said, "Do you think that if you don't modify the technique, everything will be fine?"
Jiang Lingsu was speechless.
It seemed Senior Brother's head truly had a problem—a very serious one.
A cultivator of the Obsession Lineage!
She said nothing more and took the Technique Jade Slip back to her room.
"Seven Colors Flame Refining Art?"
"A Jade Rank cultivation art?"
"It looks rather ordinary."
She had originally wanted to use this technique to investigate the background of the Seven Colors Peak Lord.
But it looked rather ordinary.
Although Jade Rank cultivation arts were of decent grade, she did not take them to heart.
After all, her Lineage had piles of Jade Rank cultivation arts.
She examined the contents of the technique.
"The latter portion was... modified by Senior Brother?"
"It looks quite capable of fooling people."
"At least it fooled me."
"The Ascension Pavilion has recorded ten thousand arts; it seems to have this technique as well. I wonder whether Ya Ya Jie has annotated it.
"She is best at adapting cultivation arts. When there is time, I should let her evaluate the modified portion. If Senior Brother cultivates it, he can avoid taking detours."
Jiang Lingsu muttered to herself.
Inside the Thatched Cottage.
Qi Yuan's attention was wholly focused on the Game Jade Slip.
He had obtained this Game Jade Slip a year ago.
He had also played this game for about a year. It was just an ordinary boss-fighting game.
The game map showed that the place he was in was called the Moon Gazing Continent.
Within the Moon Gazing Continent were Four Great Forbidden Areas and Two Great Deathlands.
The map Qi Yuan was currently in was called the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area.
There were many demons within the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area.
These demons were savage and brutal.
There were snakes as thick as water buckets, carnivorous flowers covered in sharp teeth, and beetles with massive bodies like tanks.
To Qi Yuan, all these demons were Experience Packs.
However, there was one demon in the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area that disgusted Qi Yuan and lowered his gaming experience.
That demon was a fox tail shaped like a writing brush. It had a resounding name: Mad Pen.
Within the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area, Qi Yuan's game character wore Golden Armor and was slaughtering in all directions.
Those powerful demons had no ability to resist in Qi Yuan's hands.
"A mere level fifty monster dares to show off its axe before Lu Ban's door in front of me!"
"Kill!"
Qi Yuan swept out with his sword.
At level eighty, he could be said to be massacring everything in the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area.
These past days, Qi Yuan had indeed been massacring everything.
When he had first entered the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area, he had merely been an unremarkable level one rookie player.
The game he played then was Survive the Deathland.
In one year, he had leveled up to eighty and could now walk sideways through the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area.
What he played now was an arrogant thug.
The demons in the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area were now frightened out of their wits at the mere sound of his name.
And slaying demons in the Moon Gazing Continent was also greatly beneficial to Qi Yuan in reality.
Otherwise, how could he have reached Qi Refining Completion in only one year?
Even true prodigies needed at least three years to cultivate to Qi Refining Completion.
The cultivation in the game could affect his actual body.
Of course, only part of it.
After all, his game character was very strong now.
How strong?
Qi Yuan had no concept of it.
But cutting down the sect master of Divine Light Sect with one sword would not be a problem.
Yet in reality, he was merely a little Qi Refining newbie.
"Once I deal with Mad Pen, the final boss, I'll have beaten this dungeon all the way through."
Thinking of this, Qi Yuan felt even more motivated.
Today, he would clear this dungeon.
"I wonder what reward it'll give me."
"How about rewarding me with a harmless cultivation art?"
"Or, failing that, a simple Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object would do."
At the thought of Mad Pen, dense battle intent flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes.
During the day, such pens took the form of brushes, but at night they transformed into gorgeous Fox Demons in human form, brimming with seductive allure.
And what they loved doing most was launching nighttime sneak attacks.
If someone fell for their tricks, then at the height of passion, they would bare their fangs.
They would directly transform into sharp pens and stab into the... holes in the bodies of those they had bewitched.
Qi Yuan had seen many demons in the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area fall victim to Mad Pen. Their misery was beyond words.
Qi Yuan would not be bewitched by Mad Pen, but... he had to AFK at night.
Once he went offline while AFK, he had to guard against Mad Pen.
At the time, he had nearly imitated the male protagonist from some anime in his previous world and made himself a pair of golden pants for his crotch.
In the end, before logging off, he dug a pit and buried himself in the earth, thus avoiding Mad Pen's nighttime sneak attack.
"The final Mad Pen boss is only level seventy. No big deal."
"I need to grind it out quickly. This evening, I still have to take my little pet out for a walk."
Qi Yuan held a longsword and wore Golden Armor. Multicolored radiance streamed from his body, and every slash of his sword came with all kinds of special effects, dazzling and gaudy.
In any other game, one glance would tell anyone that this was a whale player—and an extremely flamboyant one at that.
Half an hour later, Qi Yuan stormed into Xuanyuan Hall.
Holding the Great Treasure Sword, he shouted in an exceptionally chuunibyou manner, "Where can you demons flee!"
Timid and submissive in reality, throwing heavy punches in the game.
What answered him were Mad Pen's shrieks of terror.
With his longsword in hand, he was unstoppable.
One Mad Pen after another snapped apart.
His experience bar continued to rise.
"Come out, demon!"
Qi Yuan shouted, trying to call out the greatest boss of the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area.
Unfortunately, no one answered him at all.
All the Mad Pens were fleeing in every direction.
Qi Yuan killed to his heart's content.
But just then, golden light blazed.
Xuanyuan Hall began to tremble.
A brush shaped like a fox tail burst from the ground.
The sharp brush was like a sharp sword, yearning for a worthy opponent as it stabbed straight at Qi Yuan.
"Good thing I was prepared." Qi Yuan remained calm and unhurried.
Before coming here, he had already prepared a response plan.
And even without one, he would not have been afraid.
His strength was right there.
"Summer Eight Slashes!"
Qi Yuan unleashed his strongest saber technique.
That was right, he wielded a sword but used a saber technique.
In an instant, Mad Pen snapped in two.
Qi Yuan shrugged. "It was only worthy of taking one of my slashes. Too weak.
"There are still seven slashes left. I wonder who can withstand them. How lonely."
The mad brush fell, and Xuanyuan Hall collapsed at that moment.
Then, a notification sounded in Qi Yuan's ears.
The Xuanyuan Forbidden Area dungeon has been cleared. Rewards obtained.
Reward 1: Fragment of Heavenly Dao *10.
Reward 2: Divine Brush.
