Xiao Xu looked surprised and said, "Senior brother, are you also walking this path"

Qing Feng's face tightened slightly. ●search.●

This little junior brother is so adorable!

If other children were to insult him in front of him, Qingfeng would definitely chase them away.

But now, he shook his head slightly and said, "This path is not suitable for most people. Ordinary sword cultivators... they should still stick to the ordinary path."

He silently added that thought in his heart.

Your talent can ensure an increase of one achievement every month. Even if you persevere until reaching a hundred achievements, it would only take a little over eight years' effort.

But when I practiced the innate sword cry back then, I put in a year of effort, yet I could only increase it by one ring.

If I also walked this path of breaking through barriers with force...

I died before I reached the standard of Jianming's peak.

However, thinking about it myself is all I can do. There's no way those words will ever leave my lips.

Xiao Xu Jun suddenly let out a long sigh. Although he was young, he felt a sense of profound emotion.

Qīngfēng was startled, looking at the little one suspiciously.

This boy was born and raised in the main house of Xu's Manor. In order to keep his sword heart pure, he was rarely allowed to interact with outsiders.

Logically, at this age, there shouldn't be any excessive melancholy.

Could it be...

Qingfeng glanced at Xu Jun's somewhere.

No, he is still a child, he shouldn't have that kind of need yet.

With a light cough, Qingfeng said, "Little junior brother, what are you sighing about"

Xiao Xu Jun said without hesitation: "Senior brother, I want to be like you, able to fly with a sword and injure enemies with sword qi. Otherwise, once I encounter cultivators, I will definitely not be a match for them."

Only then did Qing Feng realize this. He laughed heartily, "Indeed, you are a worthy sword cultivator's seed! Your sword heart is as iron, untouched by worldly dust. I have overthought things."

"Little junior brother, actually you don't need to think that way. Hehe, the power of Innate Sword Cry is far beyond your imagination."

Little Xu beamed with joy and exclaimed, "Really"

"Yes." Qing Feng said in a low voice, "Cultivators also have strengths and weaknesses. Like us Qi Refiners, only those who reach the later stage of Qi Refining can use magical artifacts to barely soar through the air. Sigh, this isn't even considered flying."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "If we're talking about power, your current twenty-two Sword Resonations are already enough to surpass many Qi Refinement Stage one and two cultivators. If you could achieve sixty-six Sword Resonations, with just the sword in your hand, you could easily kill a Qi Refinement early stage cultivator."

Xiao Xu's eyes flickered, and he said, "But, a Chain Qi practitioner has weapons in their hands, and talismans."

"What about talismans and magic artifacts" Qingfeng sneered. "At the initial stage of Qi cultivation, your magical power is impure. How strong can your methods be Hmph, the Sixty-Six Sounds Sword Gang is invincible, capable of cutting through anything."

Sixty-six sword cries, could it easily kill someone in the early stage of Qi training

Not only Xiao Xu Jun, but even Xu Jun himself who was observing, felt a bit overwhelmed.

"Senior brother, what if I had mastered the Hundred Swords Serenade"

"Hey, over sixty-six sword cries and you can fight against a Qi Refining mid-stage cultivator. A hundred sword cries Killing a Qi Refining mid-stage cultivator would be like slaughtering chickens and dogs, it wouldn't even be worth mentioning."

"Wow, what about the Nascent Soul Stage" Xiao Xu Jun was even more delighted.

Qing Feng twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Junior Brother, senior brother is only at the later stage of Qi training. Don't tell me you want to kill me"

"How is that possible, senior brother You're overthinking."

"Qing Feng then replied with a confident air, carrying his hands behind him: "At the late Qi refining stage, if we were to fight head-on, or you were to attempt a sneak attack with your sword, there's a high probability that you would be reincarnated. But, if a cultivator at the late Qi refining stage is prepared, they can wield their flying magic weapon and keep you dangling at a distance... then it would depend on whether his mana runs out first or your sword energy crumbles."

Xiao Xu nodded slightly, and now he understood how powerful the Hundred Birds Refining Gang truly was.

Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then continued, "When you use the Hundred Birds Refining Gang method to open heaven and transcend the mortal realm, you will gain immense benefits. Therefore, you must now be humble and cautious, and absolutely not reckless."

"Senior brother, what are the benefits" Little Xu asked expectantly.

Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, "The energy of Ten Birds' Gang formed by Qi transformation and the energy of a hundred birds' Gang formed by Qi transformation, do you think they would be the same kind of sword qi"

Xiao Xu's heart itched with curiosity, and he wanted to ask for more details.

But this time, the breeze remained stubbornly silent, refusing to utter a word.

But in Qing Feng's heart, there was only a sense of helplessness.

There's definitely a difference between *Shí Míng Huà Qì* and *Bǎi Míng Huà Qì*. The sword records in the sect mentioned it, but the description was too simplistic.

It's just saying that a hundred birds transforming into qi has boundless power.

But how vast is infinity, no one knows for sure. Not even the ancient sages could say with certainty, they just spoke in riddles and pretended to know more than they did. In reality, they knew nothing at all.

Before Xiaoxu, no mortal in the entire Xinghe realm had ever heard of anyone successfully using the Baiming Lian Gang technique to refine qi.

It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't!

Just thinking about it, an extra year added to one's life would be enough to plunge everyone into despair.

Perhaps, only those ancient powerful beings could possess such fearsome power.

Xiao Xu asked for a long time, but still got nothing.

His little mouth was already pouted so much it could hang a soy sauce bottle.

Then, he raised his head, his eyes shining like stars.

"Senior brother, I'm itching for a fight now, let's have another match."

Qīngfēng grinned unwillingly and said, "Little junior brother, didn't we already spar today"

"But, I want to increase my swordsmanship faster, and practicing alone is nowhere near as effective as sparring with you."

Qīngfēng was silent for a while. Of course, he could see that the little guy's sparring was fake; what he really wanted was to vent his anger.

But this really has nothing to do with me, you know

At this moment, Qing Feng faintly regrets saying those words in the end.

That's what you get for putting your foot in your mouth.

He wanted to refuse, but thinking of what his master had said before leaving, he could only sigh and say, "Fine, have your way."

Two people arrived at the training ground. Xiao Xu Jun took out a long sword from the weapons rack.

For a swordsman as perceptive as he, wielding a divine weapon would naturally amplify his power.

But even with a dried twig, he could guarantee the lower limit.

This is the unparalleled swordsman with a heart as sharp as his blade, reduced to this state of recklessness.

"Brother, this time you can't just keep flying up in the middle of a fight!" Xiao Xujun held his sword to his chest and suddenly said.

Qing Feng smiled wryly and said, "Just remember what I told you, brother."

Although there's still a big gap in their true combat power at this time, if it comes down to swordsmanship alone...

A sudden chill ran down Qingfeng's spine.

Master's assignment this time is really difficult to complete.

To spar with the junior disciple without using talismans or artifacts while ensuring he remains unharmed is truly a difficult task.

After all, the younger brother has already mastered sword energy, and ordinary magic power can't resist it!

Xiao Xu's wrist flicked, and suddenly sword light shot out in all directions, heading towards the swirling Qingfeng.

Moments later, within that dazzling sword glow, a figure suddenly shot up into the sky.

"Senior brother, you're being evasive again..."
