“Oh, what’s going on?”
Hearing the preparation of the gift, Linglong, who was talking happily with Qin Li, asked with a face full of doubt.
As the maid beside Zhao Mengru, Linglong could be considered the Zhao Family’s housekeeper, and she did all the major and minor things on her behalf.
However, she hadn’t heard of any major events happening in Beidou City recently.
Generally only a certain family elders cultivation breakthrough, or other major events, the Zhao family will prepare gifts.
Like the rest of the small forces those, simply can not enter the eyes of the Zhao family, naturally there will not be any interactions.
The maid honestly said, “Tomorrow, Miss intends to head to Canghai Ming Sect.”
When Linglong heard this, the smile on her face immediately dissipated, her face revealing gravity.
Qin Li beside him saw this scene, and in his heart, he also guessed a few points, this Canghai Ming Sect was the top sect within thousands of miles, far from being comparable to the Zhao Family within Beidou City.
Not only that, the Zhao Family had the intention of befriending the Canghai Ming Sect.
However, all of this had little to do with Qin Li.
“By the way, you are Qin Li, right?”
Just as Linglong was about to leave, that maid looked towards Qin Li and spoke crisply.
Qin Li was a little puzzled, not knowing what this woman wanted to do, and then inquired, “This sister, I’m Qin Li, what can I do for you?”
“This is the gong method bestowed upon you by the young lady.”
As soon as the words fell, her palm was dense with spiritual light, and then a white jade tablet lay quietly in her hand.
“Kid, do you know the importance of this jade tablet, non-disciples of the Zhao Family may not cultivate it.”
After saying this, she handed this jade slip, which was only two fingers wide, to Qin Li.
Linglong froze for a moment after hearing the words of this maid, especially when she saw the envious gazes in the maid’s eyes, then she came back to her senses and inquired, “Qingqing, does it mean that the young lady has bestowed the Qingyun Bixia Skill?”
The maid named Qing Qing nodded her head with eyes full of envy.
“Hiss ……”
After determining the answer, Linglong sucked in a breath of cool air, she had stayed within the Zhao Mansion for many years and was considered an old man.
But this had never seen a few lower realm cultivators who were able to cultivate the Qing Yun Bi Xia Gong!
Anyone who ascended from the Lower Realm and ascended to the Immortal Realm would need the Immortal Realm’s gong method in order to continue transforming and even cultivating.
Like those ascended who had ordinary qualifications, the Zhao Family would just bestow a first grade Immortal Technique.
Only direct disciples of the Zhao Family, or subordinates who had contributed to the Zhao Family, could be given second grade Immortal Techniques.
This Qing Yun Bixia Gong, is really only the Zhao family can cultivate the second grade immortal law, rarely take it out to a subordinate to cultivate, not to mention, Qin Li just came to the Zhao family, and did not make much contribution to the Zhao family, why would the eldest lady be so valued by this kid?
A cultivator who had just ascended up, to actually receive such favour from the Eldest Miss, it all made Linglong a little red-eyed.
“Brother Qin Li, it seems that we need to rely on you more in the future.”
Linglong looked towards Qin Li, smiled sweetly and spoke crisply.
Sparingly, Qin Li was shocked by this news, during his conversation with Linglong just now, he learnt that the Immortal Realm’s gong methods were divided into nine grades, with the ninth grade being the strongest and the first grade being the least.
Basically, during the Servant Period, the gong methods cultivated by all ascended masters would not exceed the second grade.
This was because second-grade immortal techniques, which were considered relatively precious in Beidou City, were able to point directly to the middle immortals.
With millions of Immortals in the entire Beidou City, there were only a few hundred Middle Immortals, could a second grade Immortal Technique not be precious?
Qin Li didn’t expect that Zhao Mengru’s words that she would compensate him when Zhao Tai siphoned off the Immortal Qi in his body earlier turned out to be true.
At that time, he had thought that it was just Zhao Mengru’s words, but to his surprise, this woman was really true to her word!
“Many thanks to this fairy sister, I’ve bothered you to make this trip.”
Qin Li thanked with a smile on his face after receiving the jade slip.
“Your brat’s qualifications should be good, otherwise the young lady wouldn’t have taken out this Immortal Law, but don’t be smug, in the Immortal Realm strength is always honoured, do you hear me little brother Qin Li.”
Linglong smiled and opened her mouth, she was afraid that Qin Li would be too complacent, so she opened her mouth to strike a blow.
“Mm, Sister Linglong, I know.”
Qin Li nodded.
“Good then, since you’ve obtained the Immortal Technique, let’s first transform the mottled aura in your body into Immortal Qi.”
After sweeping her eyes at Qin Li, Linglong smiled as she moved her small broken steps and walked slowly towards the outside of the courtyard.
Qin Li watched Linglong leave, to be honest, he originally thought that as an Immortal, he would never put down his stature like this, caring about a freshly ascended cultivator like him.
Linglong was the only one who made Qin Li feel his heart warm, no wonder so many of his subordinates were more fond of her.
Until after he couldn’t see the backs of the two, Qin Li immediately returned to the room that belonged to him and took out the jade slip.
“This is the Immortal Realm’s gong method?”
Carefully surveying the jade slip, Qin Li realised that it was actually a carrier that carried information, it was the gong methods inside that made him curious.
After all, something that could surprise even Linglong.
Thinking of this, Qin Li immediately pressed the jade slip against his forehead, and in an instant, he felt the jade slip on his forehead emit a dense immortal light, followed by a stream of information slowly appearing in Qin Li’s mind.
“Hoo hoo ……”
Dozens of breaths of time passed, and when the dense immortal light on the surface of the white jade slip all dissipated, Qin Li’s consciousness retreated from his mind as he gasped for air.
“I didn’t expect this Qing Yun Bixia Gong, to actually be so profound, the Immortal Realm’s gong method, really isn’t simple, this is only of the second grade, it’s so difficult to cultivate, if this were of the third and fourth grades, what more would it be?”
This gong method was very complex, even to Qin Li’s surprise.
Meanwhile, inside the jade slip, besides the Green Cloud Bixia Technique, there was also a first grade Immortal Art.
Immortal arts were similar to martial arts, except that they were combat techniques used by Immortals.
“Let’s start transforming the Immortal Qi now, if Zhao Tai hadn’t blown away the Immortal Qi that had been condensed in my body, I would’ve been able to become a true Lesser Immortal a long time ago!”
“This revenge will be avenged later, right now there’s an urgent need to break through to a Lesser Immortal so that I can’t be bullied by others when I have the strength to do so.”
After some dark thoughts in his mind, Qin Li sat down on the floor of the room and silently began to cultivate according to the gong movement track on the jade slip.
As the gong method operated, a faint suction force emanated from Qin Li’s body, absorbing the Immortal Qi in the surrounding void.
In an instant, dots of light emitting fluorescent light, as if they were fireflies, quickly converged on the top of Qin Li’s head before flying in and fusing into his body before finally disappearing.
These dots of light appeared very bright even in the daytime.
As time flowed on, more and more dots of light converged above Qin Li’s head, and in the end, a small vortex was actually formed.
“Hohoho ……”
The small vortex of light dots slowly rotated, emitting a subtle whistling wind sound that blew the robes on Qin Li’s body.
“Boom!”
Right at this moment, as Immortal Qi entered Qin Li’s body, an overpowering pressure steeply emanated from his body.
If Linglong were to see it she would definitely have her jaw dropped, a lower realm cultivator who had just ascended to the Immortal Realm, in just half an hour, had transformed some aura into Immortal Qi and had broken through to the First Grade of the Lesser Immortal Realm.
Qin Li was able to feel an additional surge of power within his dantian, a power that was stronger than the previous aura by an unknown margin.
Feeling the changes in his body, Qin Li’s heart faintly rejoiced, “Spending half an hour to break through to the First Grade of the Lesser Immortal Realm is not bad at all.”
If there were outsiders here, they would definitely be infuriated and spit out blood.
The speed at which a normal Ascended One basically transforms his body’s Spiritual Qi into Immortal Qi is roughly a day to two days before he can reach the First Grade of a Lesser Immortal, even if it was the Second Grade Technique used by Qin Li, that could be shortened to half a day would be not bad, this guy, actually only spent half an hour, and he had already reached the First Grade of a Lesser Immortal.
I’m afraid that there weren’t many ascended masters throughout the years in the entire Beidou City who were able to achieve this step.
“No way! I have to continue and transform all the aura in my body into Immortal Qi before I can do that!”
Thinking of the scene of the Immortal Qi that was siphoned off by Zhao Tai today, Qin Li’s heart tightened.
Zhao Tai’s strength was not simple, judging from the aura emanating from his body, he was vaguely able to be on par with Li Qing, and was estimated to be at least a cultivation of the eighth or ninth grade of the Lesser Immortal.
Qin Li once again closed his eyes and cultivated, the dots of fluorescent light from the surrounding void, like moths that fluttered into the fire, kept flying into Qin Li’s body and finally disappeared.
As time passed, it soon became dark, and in Qin Li’s room, the faint fluorescent light shone brightly, like a river of stars in the sky.
When Linglong led him to the courtyard today, she carefully told Qin Li about the rules of the Zhao Family.
Any cultivator who had just ascended up had three days of rest after first joining the Zhao Family, and this was the time for them to transform the spiritual qi in their bodies.
Qin Li also didn’t have to worry about being suddenly disturbed while cultivating.
Soon, time passed in a flash, and today was already Qin Li’s third day of entering the Zhao Family.
