“Whoosh!”
In the depths of the mountain range, outside a pool beneath a waterfall, Qin Xuan was sitting cross-legged.
At this moment, his eyes were tightly shut.
A moment later, a faint golden light emerged from his body.
However, this golden light did not last long before disappearing.
“Sigh!”
Helpless, Qin Xuan could only shake his head, opening his eyes with a hint of regret.
“It failed again. This Vajra Subduing Demon True Body is much harder to Cultivate than I imagined.”
Qin Xuan frowned, raising his head with some regret.
Ever since his Physical Body was upgraded to the Silver Lightning Body, he had delved deep into the mountain range, specifically choosing this spot to focus on Cultivating the Vajra Subduing Demon True Body.
However, after several attempts, he couldn't successfully condense the Fa Xiang Heaven and Earth, which left Qin Xuan feeling somewhat frustrated.
It wasn’t a complete lack of progress, though.
Several times, he had successfully condensed the golden light outside his body.
But in the end, he was always unable to condense a complete Fa Xiang Heaven and Earth.
If he couldn't even condense the Fa Xiang Heaven and Earth, then there was no talk of mobilizing it for combat.
Qin Xuan shook his head helplessly and could only stand up for now.
“It seems I still need to gain more insight; otherwise, relying on just this isn’t enough.”
As he thought this, Qin Xuan looked at the waterfall in front and the pool below.
“This place is quite good. With this waterfall, my Qi won’t linger, and the surrounding Spirit Beasts won’t come out to cause trouble.”
Before, Qin Xuan had tried other places.
But without exception, those places all had various ignorant Spirit Beasts coming out to cause trouble.
Of course, to be more precise, Qin Xuan had entered the territory of these Spirit Beasts, and they were merely trying to expel him.
“A craftsman must sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well. You are too impatient now, always wanting to learn everything in a single day.”
“But most profound martial arts in this world cannot be learned in a day. In other words, if you could learn this martial art in a day, you wouldn’t value it much, would you?”
Han Ye said to Qin Xuan.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan was startled, then nodded.
There was indeed some truth to that.
Although he wasn't clear about the Rank of this martial art, the Vajra Subduing Demon True Body.
But he could be certain that even this incomplete martial art was at least of the King Rank or higher.
Since it was above the King Rank, its extraordinary nature was evident.
Thinking this, Qin Xuan felt a bit more at ease.
“Just relax a bit; then you won’t have to worry too much.”
“Maybe you’ll truly comprehend this martial art directly then, who knows?”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan nodded, then looked at the pool in front of him.
Although there was a waterfall above, there were quite a few fish in the pool below.
“Thump!”
Jumping into the pool, Qin Xuan caught a fish, brought it to the shore, and after simply preparing it, Qin Xuan began to roast the fish.
Not long after, a fragrant roasted fish was ready.
Eating the roasted fish, Qin Xuan relaxed.
Stealing half a day of leisure, it was rare to rest at such a time.
However, before he finished eating the roasted fish, Qin Xuan stopped.
“How troublesome, someone always has to disturb me while I’m eating roasted fish.”
Qin Xuan shook his head helplessly, stood up, and looked into the distance.
At this moment, at the waterfall above, a Black-Clothed Man was expressionlessly looking down at Qin Xuan.
He stood with his hands behind his back, appearing very leisurely.
Tian Xuan Realm!
And at least Tian Xuan Realm Eighth Stage!
Qin Xuan naturally wouldn't proactively provoke a Cultivator of this Realm.
After all, there was no need.
However, if the other party was truly ignorant, Qin Xuan wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.
“Friend, would you like to come down and have some?”
Qin Xuan could sense the dangerous aura on this man. He didn't rush to say anything else but first used the fish as a test.
“No, Your Excellency should eat more. You won’t be able to eat anymore in a while.”
The man on the waterfall spoke indifferently, then shook his head at Qin Xuan with a hint of disdain.
“I originally thought it was someone extraordinary and planned to use assassination methods, but now it seems there’s no need at all.”
“A Cultivator of the Di Xuan Realm, eliminating him is as easy as turning over one’s hand.”
The Black-Clothed Man whispered, quietly watching Qin Xuan.
“Your Excellency should also come down and have some, otherwise, you won’t be able to eat a single bite later.”
Qin Xuan smiled and spoke to the other party.
Since this person was an enemy and not a friend, he didn't need to waste any more time.
“It seems you’re truly tired of living!”
The man on the waterfall leaped down, his black clothes fluttering, like a large bird pouncing towards Qin Xuan.
“Courting death!”
Looking at the man rushing over, Qin Xuan took a bite of fish, looking at the other party casually.
Seeing that Qin Xuan dared to ignore him so completely, the Black-Clothed Man couldn't help but burn with rage, immediately accelerating his rush towards Qin Xuan.
“Die!”
The moment he rushed over, he immediately threw a flying dagger at Qin Xuan.
The flying dagger flew out, instantly cutting towards Qin Xuan's neck.
The speed of this flying dagger was extremely fast. Not to mention a Di Xuan Realm Cultivator, even a Cultivator in the Early Stage of the Tian Xuan Realm would likely not react if suddenly encountered.
However, he clearly underestimated Qin Xuan's reaction speed.
The moment the flying dagger flew over, the heavy sword in Qin Xuan's hand instantly slashed out.
“Clang!”
The flying dagger was struck by Qin Xuan's sword, then gripped in Qin Xuan's hand.
“High Grade Magical Artifact? Not even a Spiritual Artifact?”
Hearing Qin Xuan's words, the man was infuriated to the extreme.
Although Qin Xuan now had three Spiritual Artifacts and one Magic Treasure in his hand.
But this didn't mean Spiritual Artifacts were common items; at least, it wasn't that exaggerated in Profound Dragon Dao.
Most Di Xuan Realm Cultivators used Low Grade Magical Artifacts as weapons, and Tian Xuan Realm Cultivators only used Medium Grade or High Grade Magical Artifacts.
Only a small portion of wealthy individuals would possess High Grade Magical Artifacts.
Qin Xuan saying this was truly too much bullying.
“Good, I’ll let you, this fool, understand now how foolish your words just were!”
The Black-Clothed Man instantly shot out several silver needles.
The silver needles flew rapidly towards Qin Xuan, intending to pierce him.
“Needle-type Magical Artifacts are indeed rare. These are generally used for assassination, right!”
Many assassins would poison silver needles and then use them to kill their targets.
“Are you an assassin?”
The Thunder Mirror in Qin Xuan’s hand flashed, and electric light shot out, instantly deflecting these silver needles back at the man.
“Not good!”
Watching the silver needles fly rapidly towards him, the man was instantly terrified and hurriedly tried to dodge to the side.
However, with the enhancement of the Bronze Mirror, these silver needles became even faster, almost instantly piercing the Black-Clothed Man.
The Black-Clothed Man hurriedly took an antidote.
“Magic Treasure, you actually have a Magic Treasure!”
He hadn't expected Qin Xuan to have a Magic Treasure in his hand, and his own methods were so easily dealt with.
Was this really just an ordinary Di Xuan Realm Cultivator?
Had he really been too careless?
Thinking this, a cold sweat seeped from the Black-Clothed Man's body.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel some regret.
Normally, assassins rely on sneak attacks, but he had actually fought this person head-on. By all accounts, he had done something foolish.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel regret.
But now he was in too deep to back out; even if he wanted to leave, it was too late.
“Hmph, he’s just a Di Xuan Realm Cultivator. Even with a Magic Treasure, it’s nothing. I have ways to deal with him!”
Thinking this, the Black-Clothed Man immediately rushed towards Qin Xuan.
“This kid has a Magic Treasure in his hand, so long-range combat is naturally not an option. I must use close combat to suppress him. This way, even if he has good things, he won’t be able to use them easily, and then all his treasures will be mine!”
Thinking this, he immediately accelerated his rush towards Qin Xuan.
He actually wanted to engage in close combat.
Qin Xuan sneered, shaking his head slightly.
Although he was more confident in his close-combat strength.
But he wasn't a fool.
“Since the advantage is with me, why should I give him this opportunity?”
The other party was an assassin; he might have other methods up his sleeve.
Thinking this, Qin Xuan immediately began to act with the Thunder Mirror.
“Crackling!”
Countless electric lights shot out from the Bronze Mirror, instantly enveloping the man in electricity.
“Damn it!”
The Black-Clothed Man's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to dodge.
But how could his speed be a match for Qin Xuan's?
However, a moment later, the lightning completely enveloped him.
After a scream, the man was covered in wounds.
“Oh, this Physical Body is quite good. A Tian Xuan Realm Cultivator took that hit and wasn't electrocuted to death. He really has something.”
Qin Xuan spoke coldly, and hearing this, the Black-Clothed Man almost spat blood.
He hadn't even managed to harm a single hair on the other party.
If this continued, everything would be over.
No, this can't go on!
This matter requires careful consideration.
It's best to leave first.
Thinking this, the Black-Clothed Man turned and fled, completely lacking the arrogance he had when he arrived.
“Come when you want? Leave when you want? What do you take this place for?”
Qin Xuan snorted coldly, and his Wind and Thunder Wings instantly extended, directly following him.
