Half-Tried Deity-Chapter 4: Incomplete Techniques

Well, Ling Feng Zi still took good care of his Senior Uncle, Qi Huan anyway. He didn’t treat her disrespectfully just because she didn’t have the slightest clue in cultivation, instead, he gave Qi Huan all the powerful cultivating manuals that the entire sect had.

To be honest, other people had never had such a blessing to choose from so many powerful cultivation manuals when they just joined their teacher. However, Xu Kong Zi’s status was really too great in Qing Yun Sect, so Qi Huan as his apprentice naturally received a different treatment. Please visit f𝗿e𝗲𝘄𝚎𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫ℯl. c𝗼𝚖

But Qi Huan was really unhappy when she received the manuals. She even wanted to secretly curse Ling Feng Zi. What did he mean by this? Nevermind the ancient calligraphy, Qi Huan could barely recognize the characters. The oracle characters were a bit better, after all, it was a combination of graphics and text. But the tadpole characters were too much! He was clearly mocking her illiteracy! She was a graduate from a famous university, but who knew she couldn’t even recognize the word “big” after time traveling into this body!

The most exaggerated thing was that Ling Feng Zi also shamelessly gave Qi Huan a purple-gold booklet. The booklet was very thin, probably only a few pages, and there was a violet halo on those papers. For someone who didn’t know the value of things, Qi Huan knew that it was a treasure.

Ling Feng Zi said that this booklet was the treasure of Qing Yun Sect, and he specially brought it over to show Qi Huan.

When Qi Huan turned to the first page of the booklet, she finally understood why Ling Feng Zi just said that he wanted to show her. This was basically an empty heavenly book. She had almost popped out her eyes, staring at the page and trying to spot a character.

Only later did Qi Huan realize that even Xu Kong could merely understand half a page.

Qi Huan flipped through all the books that Ling Feng Zi brought from the entire Qing Yun Sect, and she secretly cursed him. After a morning of hard work, Qi Huan finally chose the thinnest book about constructing the foundation of cultivation called, “The Human Pathway”.

It was not that Qi Huan really knew which type of book was good for her. She purely chose it because she only knew all the words to the title of the book and probably because it was also the thinnest.

Regarding cultivation, Qi Huan didn’t have the hope of being the best in it. She also hoped that she could live longer, have good health, and be able to fly around the sky would be the best. She had never been greedy, these were enough to satisfy her.

Seeing that Qi Huan had selected this book, Ling Feng Zi was a little bit surprised. He hesitated for a moment. He wanted to say something, but he kept quiet in the end after pondering for a while.

What cultivators believed the most was fate. Ling Feng Zi regarded Qi Huan’s choice as her fate. He had sent so many books about cultivation, and Qi Huan chose that book. He could only say this was her fate.

It was not that the laws taught by that book were bad, in fact, it was the opposite. It was a book with a lot of history. Back then, a terrible war broke out in the entire cultivation world over this technique. In the end, the people who were involved in the war were all basically dead, leaving only three people alive.

And those three people had split that single technique into three, each taking a piece on their own. Since they couldn’t practice, then, they naturally wouldn’t let other people have the opportunity to practice the cultivation as well.

Among the three, one of them was Xu Kong’s Great Senior, Qi Huan’s Great Founding Senior. The part he took was coincidentally called “The Human Pathway”. It taught about the foundations of cultivation like zhuji, and the process of ningqi and jiedan. The latter parts about yuanying, huashen, dujie and dacheng were in the other parts of the book, taken by the other two.

That time, there were people who tried to practice the techniques from “The Human Pathway”. The progress was pretty fast, but a problem then arose. That person did not have the following techniques after finishing his cultivation practice on jiedan. He wanted to use other books to replace the latter techniques, but he found that none of the books could suit his inner ling qi.

In desperation, he had to personally crippled his own cultivation and started a new cultivation book all over again. Ever since then, this book which was supposed to be the classic among all celestial cultivation books, had become a useless trash. It was a pity.

Moreover, there was another reason why Ling Feng Zi didn’t stop Qi Huan from picking that book. The reason was that Qi Huan’s capability was not really high, and it was considered quite late to start cultivation at her age. Ling Feng Zi could also see that unless Qi Huan encountered a master that had reached the dacheng stage to give her powers, or heaven decided to drop some high-grade pills to cleanse her essence, otherwise, she wouldn’t even achieve the yuanying stage even if she put in all her effort and tired herself to her death.

Therefore, Ling Feng Zi had no objection to Qi Huan’s choice of this book. Since she couldn’t improve, it was better to let her practice quickly to the jiedan stage, at least then she had the ability to protect herself. Besides, she could easily live up to four or five hundred years old if she could practice until that stage.

Besides, Ling Feng Zi was confident that as long as Qing Yun Sect was still around, Qi Huan wouldn’t be in any big danger. By achieving the jiedan stage, it was enough for her to go around freely. Moreover, it was not that Ling Feng Zi looked down on Qi Huan, but judging by her character, she totally did not look like a cultivator who would dwell in the cave temple and practice ascetical cultivation.

It was better to let her build her jiedan then he could let her go down the mountain earlier for practice. He did not hope for her to help the common people, he just hoped she wouldn’t continue to do harm to the people on the mountain.

Having thought that, Ling Feng Zi couldn’t help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He really shouldn’t underestimate this Senior Uncle of his. Although she had just come up to the mountains, new and promising recruiters weren’t even as brave as her, to completely pull out the spiritual roots of her shifu.

Only

If Great Senior Uncle Xu Kong Zi had turned around and found that the thousand years old magnolia that he had transplanted to his hilltop was cut off by Qi Huan with a sickle, and brought back to her room to improve her elegant temperament, he might spit blood out of anger.

Only Qi Huan could do such things. Well, they had no choice. She had rocketed her way up to the sect and used her seniority to crush people to death. Now all the powerful ancestors in the mountains were either in a retreat or gone down the mountain to practice cultivation. Apart from himself, the Sect’s head, the biggest person on the mountain was Qi Huan. No one dared to jump out to seek trouble with her.

At this time, Ling Feng Zzi couldn’t help feeling fortunate that he was more foresighted. After Qi Huan moved into his mountain peak, Ling Feng Zi moved all his treasures to his storage bag, leaving nothing for Qi Huan, not even a strand of hair. This was also the reason Qi Huan wasn’t pleased to see him.

After getting the book, Qi Huan was not in a hurry to chase Ling Feng Zi away. What a joke, the words in the book may seem familiar, but it was a pity that they knew Qi Huan, but Qi Huan did not know them.

In the end, Ling Feng Zi had to explain every word to Qi Huan. He even had to tell her all the details of drawing Qi into the body. The only thing he hadn’t done was to cultivate on her behalf, which he did not intend to do so.

The two of them studied for an afternoon. Qi Huan finally understood the most basic method of drawing Qi into the body as taught by one of the chapters in the book. Ling Feng Zi now looked at Qi Huan with eyes filled with awe. He had finally seen the dumbest person in the entire world.

In such a short span of less than a thousand words, he actually needed to repeat for more than twenty times for her to understand. But of course, Qi Huan wouldn’t tell Ling Feng Zi the truth. In fact, she had fully understood it at the fifth explanation, but she really liked watching his helpless expression as he tried to endure it, that was why she deliberately let him explain to her repeatedly.
