Chapter 12 Breakthrough in Both Swordsmanship and Realm
"Whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh~!"
In an empty square, a group of people were running with heavy loads, panting heavily.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Faster! Haven't you eaten? People like you wouldn't survive a day in the mountains!"
Lin Que was also gritting his teeth and persevering, running forward without stopping for a moment, his whole body drenched in sweat.
After obtaining the cultivation technique from the village chief, Lin Que joined the village's daily training team, but his physique was too poor.
For the first month, she practiced until she fainted almost every day, which worried Qi Lianyue greatly.
However, perhaps due to the immense power of the Taiqing Chaos Technique, it continued to circulate within Lin Que's body even after he had fallen unconscious.
Repairing the body damaged on the day can prevent the abnormal training volume from leaving any hidden dangers in the body.
This allowed Lin Que to remain energetic the next day, and to the astonishment of others, he even requested an increase in training.
As long as he doesn't die from training, he'll train like crazy. After all, his physique is no match for others, and he can only try to make up for the time difference through hard work. That's what Lin Que thought anyway.
This request made their training captain very happy. Why? Because the person supervising their training was none other than Qi Haoyue.
When I first saw Lin Que's performance, he couldn't even run 50 kilometers with a 10-kilogram load, and I felt a sense of satisfaction and contempt.
But gradually, as time went by, Lin Que's later performance made him go from initial contempt to admiration.
My training volume has increased from less than half of what others did at the beginning to twice that of others now, and I even ask to increase my training volume every day.
"Run faster! Look at Brother Lin Que! He's carrying 30 kilograms more weight than you!" Qi Haoyue shouted frantically at the others.
At noon, he shouted again, "Alright! Stop! It's lunchtime. We'll continue in the afternoon after lunch!"
Lin Que stopped training and walked towards Qi Haoyue, panting, taking a pot of water from his hand and drinking it in large gulps.
After finishing his drink, he wiped his mouth and said, "I heard you're going hunting in the mountains again tomorrow. Could I come along?"
Qi Haoyue shook her head and refused: "That won't do. The village rules state that you can't go into the mountains until you've broken through to the Qi Gathering stage."
"Although you have made rapid progress, you are still only in the late stage of Body Refinement."
Lin Que jokingly replied, "What if I could break through to the Qi Gathering stage today?"
Qi Haoyue clearly didn't believe it.
"Save your breath. Although I admit you've made rapid progress in the past two months, the Qi Gathering stage isn't something you can break through in a short time. Even Qi Wuyue, the fastest person in the village to break through to the Qi Gathering stage, took half a year."
Lin Que raised an eyebrow and said, "That's not necessarily true. We'll see."
That's right. The reason Lin Que can get along well with Qi Haoyue now is because his performance has won Qi Haoyue over. In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected. Only by being strong can one gain the respect of others.
Lin Que also realized that he had reached the bottleneck of the late stage of body refinement. With a little more effort, he could break through to the Qi Gathering stage in one fell swoop.
Qi Haoyue looked at Lin Que's face indignantly and said, "Why are you still so pale? It's outrageous! You train under the sun every day."
Lin Que chuckled cheekily, "Maybe this is fate, haha, I was born handsome! There's nothing you can do about it, you can't be jealous."
I really want to punch you!
This can be attributed to the Taiqing Chaos Technique. Lin Que had also studied this technique in detail and felt that it was anything but simple! This technique was far too mysterious.
The early stages of cultivation alone made Lin Que feel that he could not only reach the Mahayana stage, but even the Immortal stage!
This made Lin Que cautious; he absolutely could not expose this secret to anyone, otherwise he would surely face a fatal disaster.
The Taiqing Chaos Technique not only operates on its own, increasing Lin Que's cultivation speed, but also changes his physique. Every time he breaks through a stage, it automatically eliminates excess impurities from his body.
Each time impurities are expelled, Lin Que's skin becomes increasingly fair and radiant. Furthermore, due to his daily strength training, his originally thin body gradually becomes fuller.
Now, Lin Que not only has sharp features, but his muscle lines are also becoming clearer. He doesn't have big muscles, and his appearance is still the same as usual, only he is more upright.
His overall demeanor has become increasingly refined and otherworldly.
"Brother~! Come and eat!"
At this moment, Qi Lianyue, carrying lunch, quickly arrived not far from Lin Que and called out.
"coming!"
After Lin Que started training, Qi Lian Yue would bring him lunch to the square so that he could continue training after lunch.
"Having a younger sister like Lian Yue is truly enviable!" Qi Haoyue said with a look of envy.
Lin Que was very pleased to hear this: "Of course, you want a little sister too, don't you? Envious? Too bad you don't have one."
This made Qi Haoyue so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.
An hour after lunch, the afternoon training officially began. Lin Que once again took the initiative to increase the training volume, and the weight he was carrying reached a terrifying 150 kilograms. This made Qi Haoyue's heart pound, not to mention the other people training together.
"Look! Lin Que is going to gain weight again."
"This is terrifying!"
"This is simply a monster; I'm already struggling to carry 50 kilograms."
"Ugh! It's infuriating to compare yourself to others, especially since they're so good-looking!"
The group of people looked at Lin Que with all sorts of expressions—jealousy, amazement, or admiration—but Lin Que ignored them all and started running ahead.
......
"Whew!!!"
As evening fell, Lin Que let out a long sigh of relief. The day's training was over, but he still hadn't been able to break through to the Qi Gathering stage.
Qi Haoyue then walked over and said, "Looks like you won't be able to come into the mountains with us tomorrow, haha! You should focus on your training."
Lin Que shrugged and said, "There's still one more night. Maybe I'll break through tonight."
"Then I wish you success!"
Qi Haoyue didn't believe it anyway, and after exchanging greetings, the two left separately.
Lin Que returned to his courtyard and sat on a stone bench, pondering how he could break through to the Qi Gathering stage.
Qi Lianyue then came out of the house and, seeing Lin Que's worried face, asked, "Brother, what's wrong? You look so gloomy."
"Lian Yue! Tell me, how can your brother break through tonight?" Lin Que asked, looking at Qi Lian Yue's adorable appearance.
"Hmm~~~! I don't know either, but I think we should just relax and let things take their course. There's no need to worry so much. My brother has already improved a lot!"
Lin Que thought about it and agreed. Instead of worrying so much, it was better not to think about these things. Maybe he would break through in the next second.
Anyway, we can't go into the mountains tomorrow, there will be plenty of opportunities later.
Having figured it out, Lin Que immediately patted Qi Lianyue's head and said with a smile, "That's true! I was being too attached to appearances. Let's not dwell on it anymore."
"Let's go eat."
After dinner, Lin Que returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began cultivating using the Taiqing Chaos Technique.
But strangely, no matter how I practiced the exercises today, I felt a bit uncomfortable.
After persisting for fifteen minutes, Lin Que gave up and prepared to lie down and rest.
Suddenly remembering the Azure Lotus Sword Manual that he had kept safe, he got up and took it out to look at it.
After a long time, perhaps because of the cultivation of the Taiqing Chaos Technique, the sword moves of the Azure Lotus Sword Manual became clearer and clearer in his mind.
Lin Que became more and more engrossed in watching, and immediately decided not to sleep. He went outside into the yard, picked up a tree branch, and started twirling it.
At first, I wasn't very skilled, but as time went on, the branches swayed more and more smoothly!
Lin Que felt his heart pounding more and more, as if something was about to burst forth.
The branch in Lin Que's hand twirled into a lotus-shaped sword flower, faster and faster, until the branch in his hand had become a blur.
The dantian area inside my body was getting hotter and hotter, reaching a peak, and it was about to break through.
Unable to suppress his excitement any longer, Lin Que blurted out.
"The fallen leaves here gather and scatter, a lone sword and a crow perch and are startled again."
"Boom!!!"
With a light sword cry, a sword swept forward! It swept out with an invisible sword aura, swirling up countless fallen leaves around it!
"Boom!"
Close your eyes and exhale; your mind is now clear.
Become!
The first move of the Azure Lotus Sword Technique: Azure Lotus Pierces the Sky.
"Boom!"
Just then, Lin Que felt as if something had been released from his dantian, and his whole body felt relaxed.
The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to flow into his body.
At this moment, the body expelled a foul-smelling impurity, more than the previous two times. Sure enough! The breakthrough to the Qi Gathering stage was successful.
Lin Que became excited!
At this moment, the Taiqing Chaos Technique he was cultivating had finally been successfully stabilized at the first level. However, he still needed to work hard to reach the Great Perfection of the first level and break through to the second level.
However, this also illustrates the terrifying nature of this technique. Just cultivating the first level can lead to the Qi Gathering stage, and perhaps even the Innate stage.
"Wow! Brother's swordsmanship was so cool!"
Hearing the sound, Lin Que turned around and saw Qi Lianyue standing prettily in front of the house, looking at him with starry eyes.
It seems the noise of the sword dance woke her up.
"Isn't he handsome, little sister? But there are even more handsome guys coming up after me!"
Hearing his sister's praise, Lin Que was naturally overjoyed.
After all, which young person hasn't dreamed of becoming a swordsman?
"But, brother! The gate to the yard is broken!"
"Aha...haha! Is...is that so?"
"It looks like you're the one who destroyed it! I saw it!"
"Um... okay, I'll fix it."
