Blazing Yang Thunder Asura, the Weapon Cangyuan

"Master, I choose the Blazing Yang Thunder Asura Scripture."

The pavilion master looked Qin Yi up and down and said, "How did you know the Blazing Yang Thunder Asura Scripture was a good thing, kid?"

Qin Yi's heart leaped. Looks like I chose right.

"The Blazing Yang Thunder Asura Scripture is an incomplete copy. You could also call it the Blazing Yang Thunder Asura Instruction. But even this incomplete copy is enough to take you all the way to the Nascent Soul realm, so you can imagine how powerful the complete version is. Besides, it's not as if you have no chance of finding the remaining parts in the future."

The pavilion master waved a hand, and the Blazing Yang Thunder Asura Scripture flew toward Qin Yi. "Place the Jade Slip against your forehead."

Qin Yi immediately felt a vast amount of information pour into his mind. "Before the five thunders arise, they take form through me. The earth gives birth without mercy, splitting the heavenly Gang..."

Standing before Qin Yi, the pavilion master observed the flow of Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth. Suddenly, he said, "Sit cross-legged and circulate the cultivation method to guide the Spiritual Qi into your Dantian."

Qin Yi obediently did as instructed, sensing the flow of Spiritual Qi around him. He tried drawing the faint lights around him closer. The instant the Spiritual Qi touched Qin Yi, it automatically entered his body and flowed toward his Dantian as he circulated the cultivation method.

"Crack." When Qin Yi heard something break, he finally opened his eyes. He had successfully drawn Qi into his body.

"Whoosh." A tiny flame appeared in Qin Yi's right hand. Seeing this, the pavilion master nodded and said, "Not bad. You've drawn Qi into your body so quickly. You've officially set foot on the path of immortal cultivation."

"Now that you have a cultivation method, the next thing you need is a weapon. What weapon do you want to use?"

Qin Yi gave it serious thought, recalling every weapon he had ever seen. At last, he settled on the one he wanted. "I would like a spear, Master."

"The spear is the king of all weapons, unrivaled by the others. I imagine it would be an excellent match for my dual lightning and fire Spirit Roots."

After a moment's thought, the pavilion master waved his hand and summoned a spear. A lifelike silver dragon pattern adorned its shaft. The instant the spear appeared, Qin Yi seemed to see a great dragon circling between heaven and earth, roaring endlessly at the firmament.

"This spear is called Cangyuan. I obtained Dark Iron from the Western Region, Vast Heaven Stone from the Heavenly Flame Holy Land in the Northern Region, and the remnant soul of an Azure Dragon from the Southern Region. The supreme elder smelted and forged them for eighty-one days with the fire at the earth's core, then tempered the spear through a lightning tribulation before it finally came into being. It is a top-grade Law Treasure."

"Since that Azure Dragon perished beneath the lightning tribulation as it was breaking through from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, a trace of the lightning tribulation's power remains within its soul. It should suit you perfectly."

Qin Yi's lips twitched. This weapon was far too powerful. He stammered, "M-Master, I'm only at Qi Refining First Layer. I can't use such a powerful Law Treasure."

"You needn't worry about that. I'll place three layers of seals on the spear. Once you break through to Golden Core, you can use it freely."

"Besides, I've left a spiritual imprint on the spear. If any blind fool dares to snatch it, hmph, hmph..."

Only then did Qin Yi set his mind at ease. When Qin Yi was seven, Prince Qing had taught him that possessing something that did not match one's realm was undoubtedly putting oneself in danger. As the saying went, an innocent man was guilty for possessing a jade treasure. Strength reigned supreme.

"All right, bear with it."

"Hm?"

"Ah! Ow! Ow~!" Before Qin Yi could react, a piercing pain stabbed through his heart. A drop of dark red Essence Blood flew out of his chest and hovered quietly before the pavilion master.

The pavilion master formed hand seals, and the drop of heart's blood slowly fell onto Cangyuan. It formed a web of blood that gradually enveloped the entire spear. The instant the blood sank into the spear, the dragon pattern turned purplish red, and Sha Qi gradually emerged. Cangyuan now resembled a peerless weapon of slaughter.

At the same time, a sense of familiarity welled up in Qin Yi's heart. He rubbed his chest, took a heavy breath, and said, "Master, could you warn me before you do that next time? I thought I was about to die."

"Enough lip. Take it and give it a try."

Qin Yi took Cangyuan. Sure enough, the divine weapon was much lighter after acknowledging him as its master. He tried wielding it with some effort, and it felt quite handy. It truly was a top-grade Law Treasure.

Watching Qin Yi's little body struggle to swing the spear, the pavilion master couldn't help laughing. "All right, all right. I'll leave you a few martial techniques. As for pills, someone will bring them to you every day."

"Remember, your task now is to break through to Foundation Establishment before you turn twenty and surpass your senior sister. I'll also come by from time to time to check your cultivation progress and give you lessons. Do you understand?"

"I definitely won't disappoint you, Master," Qin Yi vowed.

"One more thing. My name is Song Qi. When you go out into the world and defeat the geniuses of your generation, don't forget to mention your master's name." Song Qi's voice echoed through the bamboo grove.

"Slowly savor the colors of the mortal world, and watch at leisure as the years stretch on through all things~" After leaving a few Jade Slips, Song Qi hummed his little tune and departed.

Qin Yi stepped forward and gathered up the Jade Slips. He took a quick look and found the Nine Shas Mysterious Fire, the Shadow Ghost Steps, the Buddhist Vajra...

"Hm? Buddhist Vajra? Isn't that a Buddhist cultivation method? Our Eight Gods Pavilion really does have a deep foundation." Qin Yi sighed in admiration, then turned and walked into the wooden house.

"Time to cultivate!"
