Dark Immortal Cultivation

Huh?

Staring at his own wooden door, Zhang Qing, who had just cast the "Spirit Light Technique," had a look of surprise in his eyes.

After the burst of spiritual light he unleashed exploded, the light it emitted did not disappear immediately, but silently adhered to the surface of the door panel.

It's as if a sacred veil has been draped over this gate!

The two talismans pasted on the door also activated their own spiritual light, alternating between light and dark like breathing.

This situation was completely beyond Zhang Qing's expectations!

He had seen other cultivators cast spiritual light spells before, but none had such an effect.

The only explanation is that the enhanced version of "Aura Spell" can be applied to objects, just like "Gentle Breeze Spell".

Including Zhang Qing himself!

Unfortunately, "Spirit Light Technique" is not "Spirit Light Protection Technique" and has no defensive capabilities.

Or perhaps it's used to defend against close-range attacks from evil spirits?

More ideas began to form in Zhang Qing's mind!

After a dozen or so breaths, the spiritual light on the wooden door gradually faded, and the door panel and the talisman returned to their original state.

He calculated the duration of the spell's effect, then reached into his storage bag and pulled out the Qingfeng Sword.

At the same time, Zhang Qing brought his left index and middle fingers together to form a sword-like gesture, and suddenly a ball of white, shimmering light emanated from it.

He held the longsword horizontally, his two fingers, enveloped in spiritual light, stroking the blade.

This ordinary weapon was then gradually "lit up"!

When Zhang Qing withdrew his left hand, the Qingfeng sword he held in his right hand transformed into a "sword of light".

If you call it a magic artifact, you can fool most people!

In fact, after being enhanced by the "Aura Spell," this ordinary weapon truly possessed some magical power.

The key point is that it can withstand it perfectly!

The experiment was a success, and Zhang Qing was overjoyed, casually brandishing his Qingfeng sword.

I feel like I could cosplay Skywalker!

This longsword was lent to Zhang Qing by Wei Xiong so that he could learn some swordsmanship for close-quarters self-defense.

Later, after Zhang Qing passed the assessment and became a formal disciple of the outer hall, Wei Xiong simply gave him the Qingfeng Sword as a congratulatory gift.

To be fair, the team leader quite admires Zhang Qing.

Although Zhang Qing obtained the longsword and learned the "Flowing Cloud Sword Technique," he made almost no progress in his swordsmanship.

On the one hand, he lacks talent, and on the other hand, he lacks time and energy.

But now that he has mastered the enhanced version of "Spirit Light Technique," he can imbue this ordinary weapon with magical power. In the future, if he encounters a close-range attack from an evil entity, Zhang Qing will have a powerful weapon to resist or even counterattack!

How about we invest some power into martial arts?

Once the thought arises, it can no longer be stopped!

However, when Zhang Qingxing eagerly opened the data panel, he was immediately met with a cold shower.

[Powerful: 0.0]

The previously acquired powerful energy has been completely depleted!

Without a doubt, all of that 0.5 power was used to enhance the "Aura" spell.

This outcome is actually quite normal.

After all, the enhanced version of "Aura" is extraordinary; you get what you pay for, and it's definitely worth the price!

Zhang Qing reluctantly closed the panel.

You can never have enough Power Points!

After thinking it over, Zhang Qing decided to rename this enhanced version of "Spirit Light Technique".

They are different after all.

Let's call it "Mystic Light Technique"!

Because the "Mysterious Light Technique" is extremely compatible with his main cultivation technique, the "Mysterious Origin Technique," it seems to be tailor-made for him, and he can use it very smoothly and freely.

Therefore, changing just one character is appropriate.

Mystic Light Technique!

Suppressing the jumbled thoughts in his mind, Zhang Qing continued practicing the spell.

Soon, clusters of spiritual light danced in the room, occasionally bursting open on the doors, walls, floor, and bed, making the entire space incredibly bright.

As for Zhang Qing, the one casting the spell, his entire body, including his hair, was also tinged with a white, shimmering light.

On a whim, he drew his Qingfeng sword once more.

Wave amidst the light!

Until the body's vital energy is exhausted.

In the days that followed, Zhang Qing devoted some time to studying the newly mastered "Mystic Light Technique" while also focusing most of his energy on breaking through his cultivation level.

As the saying goes, Heaven rewards diligence; you reap what you sow.

Half a month later, Zhang Qing advanced to the third level of Qi Refining without any doubt!

Feeling the surge of true energy within his body, the joy in his heart was indescribable.

It's really not easy!

When Zhang Qing first transmigrated, his predecessor was only at the first level of Qi Refining. Although he had reached the peak of the first level, his body was inevitably greatly affected by the evil spirits.

He struggled to survive, cautiously and slowly accumulating strength.

Having narrowly escaped death several times, he finally managed to establish himself.

But only a little bit.

The journey is long and arduous, and the difficulties are immense!

Thinking that the third level was still only the early stage of Qi Refining, and not a true advancement in rank, Zhang Qing's joy inevitably diminished somewhat.

However, he was not discouraged at all and was full of confidence in his future.

With data dashboards in place, the future is limitless!

The next morning, Zhang Qing, with a storage bag slung over his waist and a Qingfeng sword on his back, strode out of his house with great pride and arrogance.

He used his movement technique to quickly leave the camp and fly towards the boundless wilderness.

Half an hour later, Zhang Qing approached an ancient ruin near the black fog zone.

He came here to hunt today.

Ferocious beasts, or even evil spirits, are all within Zhang Qing's hunting range!

There was no way around it; his almost frantic leveling up over the past period had completely depleted his savings.

This includes the salary received from the Changfeng Association.

We've used it all up too.

So if he doesn't find a way to get some resources back, he might go hungry.

In addition, after a hundred days of honing his skills, Zhang Qing also needs to test his progress through actual combat!

And so he came.

The morning mist had long since dissipated, and the wind, carrying a chill, swept across the ancient ruins, accompanied by a few eerie low howls.

Zhang Qing concealed his aura and landed on a huge rock.

His sharp gaze swept across the surroundings.

After advancing to the third level of Qi Refining, his true qi became increasingly abundant. Coupled with the improvement of his attributes, his spiritual sense greatly improved, and he could perceive every rustle of grass within several miles around him.

The wilderness after the Black Tide receded was a place where evil spirits roamed freely. The remnants of yin energy were scattered among the withered branches and rocks, exuding a chilling and sinister aura.

After observing for a while, Zhang Qing leaped off the rock and continued deeper into the ancient ruins.

Along the way, there were scattered pebbles, fallen dead trees, and the bones of unknown animals, as well as some strange claw marks on the ground.

Suddenly, the bushes ahead shook violently, and two dark figures darted out!

With hunched bodies, gray fur, and eyes gleaming with a ghostly green light, they were clearly two hideous wolf beasts.

Their mouths dripped with foul-smelling saliva, their eyes fixed on Zhang Qing. Almost the instant they landed, they pounced on Zhang Qing, bringing with them a wave of stench.

They formed a pincer attack from the left and right!

However, for Zhang Qing at this level, a ferocious beast is not even an appetizer.

He neither dodged nor evaded, but instead unleashed a series of blazing flames.

In an instant, both wolves were engulfed!
