Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 The Ring, a Gift for Brother Qingyun!

  "Congratulations to my brother Qingyun on breaking through to the first level of Dou Qi! 666!"

  In Luoxian Ravine, Xiao Yan, clutching his big toe, hopped over to offer his congratulations.

  Seeing the peerless youth's proud and independent figure, he felt only trust and admiration, as if the pain in his foot had vanished.

  At his lowest point, when he was most dejected, at the lowest point of his life, he had met this peerless young man, who guided him, telling him not to give up, that these were merely trials on his path to success, and that once he overcame them, he would become a top expert on the Dou Qi Continent!

  Those who haven't experienced it won't understand how exhilarating it is to have someone cheer you on and encourage you when everyone is mocking you at your lowest point, giving you so much hope and faith.

  Especially when the one encouraging you is such a handsome, ethereal young man!

  At that moment, Xiao Yan had already made up his mind that no matter whether he could become a strong person in this life, Su Qingyun would be someone he would protect with his life, just like family!

  Xiao Xun'er leaped down from the mountain peak, her usual aloof demeanor completely vanishing in front of Su Qingyun, replaced by the innocent charm of a young girl:

  "Brother Qingyun, you finally succeeded! And with such high-quality Dou Qi, it's amazing!"

  Xiao Xun'er was overjoyed. As long as Su Qingyun could cultivate, she would spare no expense, even using precious pills and rare treasures, to raise his cultivation to the Dou Huang realm!

  Moreover, judging from the extraordinary phenomena of this breakthrough, she believed that Brother Qingyun inherently possessed the talent to reach the pinnacle.

  This way, she could take Brother Qingyun back to her clan to propose marriage!

  Even Ling Ying, hidden in the shadows, snapped out of his daze and couldn't help but click his tongue,

  "Tsk tsk tsk, this isn't normal battle qi at all. It's even more concentrated and of much higher quality than the battle qi of a warrior who has condensed a battle qi vortex. I'm afraid that even though Young Master is only at the first stage of battle qi, he can't defeat him, even an ordinary warrior." "

  I'm afraid that for the past ten years, Young Master hasn't been unable to sense the existence of battle qi, but rather that all the battle qi he absorbed has been devoured and evolved by his body. This is the first time I've heard of such a situation. From the very beginning, he has focused on improving the quality of his battle qi. Truly worthy of being called a banished immortal emperor. I'm afraid the Jia Ma Empire will be in turmoil from now on."

  Ling Ying smiled wryly. It wasn't just the Jia Ma Empire; with this kid's unparalleled charm, if he were to ascend to Zhongzhou, it would cause a huge uproar.

  You see, Miss is already completely infatuated with him.

  Originally, he was sent by the clan to protect Miss, but Miss, on the contrary, made him protect Su Qingyun and even made him call him Young Master, demanding respect.

  Over the past decade, Ling Ying has suffered greatly, all because Su Qingyun's looks were too striking.

  He attracted attention wherever he went, and countless women from the surrounding villages came to propose marriage.

  Even the three major families of Wutan City had their eyes on him. If it weren't for Ling Ying's secret protection, Su Qingyun would likely have become a live-in son-in-law of one of these families long ago.

  No wonder Ling Ying both loved and hated Su Qingyun.

  ...

  Meanwhile, in the mountain stream, Su Qingyun sensed the flow of immortal energy within his body. His starry eyes sparkled, and his face was filled with joy.

  In truth, Su Qingyun wasn't a native of the Dou Qi Continent, but rather someone who had transmigrated from Earth ten years ago.

  At the time of his birth, the heavens shone with immortal light, and the starry sky twinkled.

  After his birth, he attracted countless admiring glances wherever he went; everyone who saw Su Qingyun was deeply captivated.

  Some alluring older women wanted to take him home and thoroughly ravage him.

  Even an old man in hempen robes with white hair wanted to take him as a disciple and pass on his mantle.

  Furthermore, a clan leader and sect master wanted to forcibly take him back to their family to be their beloved daughter's child husband.

  By sheer coincidence, Xun'er, burdened with a family mission and about to move to the Xiao family, encountered him.

  The little girl, fiercely opposed to evil, and with her heart pounding at the sight of the handsome boy, insisted that Ling Ying intervene.

  This led to the current situation where Su Qingyun resides in Luoxianjian, peacefully cultivating his immortal aura.

  However, in the past ten years, the original plot has been completely reversed.

  Xiao Yan has become his devoted admirer, while Xiao Xun'er is his most loyal fangirl.

  The girl, already yearning for love, after witnessing Su Qingyun's breathtaking beauty, forgot all about Xiao Yan, Xiao Ning, and Xiao Li, and even the matter of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.

  She frequently visits Luoxianjian, spending her days researching culinary arts to prepare nourishing dishes for Su Qingyun, and her nights sneaking into his room to nurture his battle meridians with her battle qi, finally falling asleep in his arms when tired.

  As a result, Su Qingyun's battle qi didn't develop. Instead, the interaction between their battle qi created a situation where they were intertwined.

  This caused Xiao Xun'er's battle qi to absorb Su Qingyun's aura, acquiring a touch of ethereal beauty. Her every move exuded a refined and otherworldly elegance, and it even enhanced the activation level of her divine bloodline.

  Consequently, although Xiao Xun'er hadn't cultivated within the ancient clan and her talent hadn't been fully realized, her current revealed realm was already at the Dou Zhe realm. If she continued to toy with Su Qingyun, even the ancient clan's secret techniques for concealing her realm might not be able to suppress her battle qi.   

  This filled Xiao Xun'er with self-reproach. She believed that it was because she had absorbed Su Qingyun's essence that Su Qingyun had been unable to embark on the path of cultivation for so long, and thus she devoted herself to finding elixirs and treasures to help him.

  In truth, only Su Qingyun himself knew that he wasn't incapable of cultivation, but rather that his physique was unique.

  From birth, he possessed the body of an Immortal Emperor; ordinary battle qi was simply unworthy of being stored within his body!

  What he cultivated was Immortal Qi, inherently different from others!

  Ordinary people's battle qi could generally only contain one attribute, their soul attribute, but Su Qingyun's Immortal Qi was different. Once perfected, it could accommodate all elemental attributes of the vast world—wind, rain, thunder, lightning, metal, wood, water, fire, earth… all within its qi!

  At this moment, his physique was perfected, his Immortal Emperor bloodline was completely opened, and Immortal Qi flowed throughout his body, as if all the elements in the world resonated and echoed him, communicating with the Immortal spiritual qi within him!

  Metal—the sharpness of metal, capable of cutting through iron and steel!

  Wood—life is endless, nature and heaven and earth are boundless!

  Fire—the blazing sun, forging all things!

  Water—the gentle yin, encompassing all spirits!

  Earth—rich and nourishing, vast and expansive!

  Light—drives away evil, illuminating the darkness!

  ...

  Xiao Yan ran to Su Qingyun's side with a grin, feeling the Dou Qi within his body, then glanced at the Immortal Qi swirling around Su Qingyun:

  "Brother Qingyun, why is our Dou Qi different?"

  "Of course it's different! My Brother Qingyun has an Immortal Body, how can it be the same as yours?"

  Xiao Xun'er snorted at Xiao Yan, her face turning into a fangirl's when she looked at Su Qingyun.

  Immortal-grade bloodline, maybe it's a perfect match for my Divine-grade bloodline, Xun'er and Brother Qingyun are truly a match made in heaven!

  At this moment, Xiao Xun'er took out the treasures she had long ago stockpiled for Su Qingyun:

  "Brother Qingyun, congratulations on embarking on your cultivation path, these things are gifts for you, all Xun'er's love for you~"

  As she said the last sentence, a blush appeared on Xiao Xun'er's cool face.

  However, this affection was a bit too intense…

  "Gathering Qi Powder!"

  "And Iron Bone Vine, Golden Wood Whip, Yuan Yang Flower!"

  "These are all good things!"

  Glancing at the things Xiao Xun'er had given him, Su Qingyun's forehead broke out in a fine sheen of sweat. Most of these were things that invigorated blood and boosted yang. Xiao Xun'er, do you think I'm that weak? Or do you want me to be a pillar of strength every day, going at it like crazy?!

  I thought you were naughty when we were little, your little hands liked to touch things randomly, you liked to tease Dingdang, and now that we're grown up, I can't not sleep with you.

  You're definitely after my body!

  Xiao Yan swallowed hard, quite surprised.

  The ninth level of Dou Qi is actually a realm of nourishing muscles and bones, strengthening the body, and initially using the body to bear the flow and circulation of Dou Qi. With medicinal herbs and beast treasures for strengthening the body, one can quickly improve the level of Dou Qi.

  However, such treasures are not something everyone can afford.

  Take this Qi Gathering Powder for example. Its function is to enable a ninth-stage Dou Qi cultivator to successfully condense a Dou Qi vortex with 100% success, thus advancing to the Dou Zhe level!

  In a place like Wutan City, the Qi Gathering Powder is practically a rare treasure!

  Unexpectedly, Su Qingyun had only just broken through to the first stage, and Xun'er had already prepared even a Qi Gathering Powder for him!

  However, since Xiao Xun'er had given him such a treasure, what should he give in return?

  Xiao Yan thought to himself, he was all alone, unable even to stabilize his regressed cultivation level, where could he possibly find a treasure to give as a gift to Brother Qingyun?

  He couldn't help but touch the ancient black ring on his hand, gritted his teeth, and actually took it off, holding it in his right palm, and placed it in front of Su Qingyun:

  "Brother Qingyun, Xiao Yan doesn't have any presentable gifts right now. Although this ring is unremarkable in appearance, it has great sentimental value for me. I'm giving it to you, wishing Brother Qingyun success on his cultivation journey!"
