The two disciples were not idle either. They had already started a fire and were roasting a clean, whole pig on a spit.
Mu Hanyan was sweating profusely. It turned out that it wasn’t just her learning skills, nor was it just Qu the Godman, his two disciples had also picked up some fine skills. Observing the size of the fire, the speed of rotation, and the actions of brushing on oil, sprinkling salt, and applying spices, their movements were as smooth and skilled as running water, possibly even surpassing that of the head chefs in big restaurants.
There would be no need to worry about them not finding food in the future. Even if they couldn’t learn Qu the God’s flamboyant deceiving skills, roasting pigs would still provide them with a meal.
However, this time, even if he were gnawing on a roasted pig leg, Qu Shanling seemed a bit overwhelmed. This was the final part of the Star Illusion Thousand Mechanism Technique, and it was also the essence of the last part, naturally making the difficulty multiply.
Qu Shanling’s face was as pale as golden paper, his body trembling and on the brink of collapse, about to give in. Mu Hanyan was both expectant and worried as she watched him, when suddenly, she noticed that Qu Shanling’s figure had become somewhat illusory. In a vague sense, she seemed to be able to see the operation of his meridians and Qi within his body.
Could she be seeing things?
Although Mu Hanyan had the ability for internal vision, where she could grasp a piece of matter and, by focusing her Mental State, she could even see its internal condition, she was not able to see the internal body of others. The scene before her eyes was completely beyond her capability.
Mu Hanyan rubbed her eyes, only to find that the operation of Qu Shanling’s meridians and Qi became even clearer in her line of sight. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel·fıre·net
She wasn’t seeing things after all! Mu Hanyan was greatly surprised. Looking at the others, they were still the same as before.
Could it be related to the Star Illusion Thousand Mechanism Technique? Mu Hanyan quickly thought of the key to the problem! The Hand Formation that Qu Shanling was using, and her Heavenly Heart Technique, blended like milk with water, more like they were born from the same vein. Perhaps it was for this reason that she could see the operation of his meridians and Qi.
Understanding this, Mu Hanyan didn’t waste any more thought but focused on observing his cultivation route.
Very soon, Mu Hanyan spotted the issue: Qu Shanling’s Cultivation Technique was obviously different from the Heavenly Heart Technique. If it were any other day, it would not be much of a problem, as it was just that the cultivation effects and power couldn’t compare to the Heavenly Heart Technique. But at this moment, as he was performing his Hand Formation and running his technique, the speed at which his internal Qi was flowing couldn’t keep up with the Hand Formation.
If things continued this way, even if he coughed up all his blood cleanly, he wouldn’t be able to push through and perform this Hand Formation.
Mu Hanyan was struck with inspiration and placed her hand on his back, slowly infusing her Heavenly Heart Energy into his meridians.
"Young Master, what are you doing?" Housekeeper Sun and the young Disciple both jumped in shock, shouting in alarm.
Once a Swordsman’s cultivation reached the Fifth Rank, their strength would undergo a qualitative change, and their Qi, capable of opening tablets and breaking stones, could compare with a Divine Weapon—their power could be imagined.
When two different types of Qi filled together and repelled each other, it was like swords clashing in battle. In a lighter case, the meridians could burst and cultivation would be greatly damaged. In a severe case, it could be a matter of life and death.
Even among fellow disciples practicing the same Cultivation Technique, due to different constitutions, the Qi eventually cultivated would differ. Thus, ordinary people would never dare to casually infuse Qi into someone else’s body, as it is often more harmful than helpful to both parties involved.
Of course, for some highly cultivated experts, doing so was not a problem. After all, as their cultivation level increased, their own Qi became more refined, and they could control it more cleverly. Acting according to their will, they could stop immediately if something went awry, not causing any harm to others.
