Qing Su was still staring at Qing Yun with her dreamy amber eyes.

Back then her eyes still had a deep black color, but now they had this alluring honey-yellow hue. Qing Yun knew that it was thanks to the [Star God Breathing Technique]. He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. This cultivation technique was indeed not ordinary.

The room feel into a deep silence. Qing Su was still in a daze and Qing Yun didn’t take any action to wake her up. He enjoyed the change in expressions on her adorable face.

After a while Qing Su let out a deep sigh, “Big Brother Yun, this cultivation technique is indeed extraordinary, but Su’er has let you down, it seems I don’t have affinity with it, I’m not able to cultivate it any further. I reached the peak of Houtian Realm three years ago, but I couldn’t make any improvement since then.”

Qing Su was still seated on Qing Yun lap, but the expression on her flawless face that was originally deep red became dejected. She didn’t dare to raise her head and look at Qing Yun in the eyes. He gave her such a powerful technique but she wasn’t able to cultivate it, Qing Su felt like she let him down.

Qing Yun glanced at the downcast figure of Qing Su and felt a surge of warmth enveloping his heart. How could he not know the reason Qing Su felt like that. She blamed herself for not being able to reach Qing Yun’s expectation.

Before Qing Yun could say anything, Qing Su’s voice sounded again, “Big Brother Yun, I’m sorry, I…”

Slap!!

“Ahh!!” A lovely gasp of surprise was heard as it interrupted Qing Su’s sentence.

Before Qing Su could finish her sentence, Qing Yun slapped her gracefull bottom. He didn’t use to much force but the slap still reverberated throughout the room.

“Lass, what kind of words are those?” Qing Yun ignored the grudgingly look that was aimed at him from Qing Su’s slightly moist eyes as he continued, “ Do you not consider me your big brother?”

“But Big Brother Yun, I…”

“What but?” Qing Yun let out a bitter laugh, “Girl, what do you take cultivation for? Do you even realize that other kids your age didn’t even stepped in the Houtian Realm? You’ve been stuck in you’re current realm for three years but how many cultivators would be stuck in the same realm for tens even hundreds of years?” Qing Yun gave Qing Su a helpless look. It seems that cultivating a high level technique had left her with some delusion towards cultivation.

Qing Su was startled. That’s right, how can it be so easy to advance in cultivation. She was aware that her current achievements were possible thanks her cultivation technique. If it wasn’t for this heaven defying technique how could she have achieved her current realm. As she came to this realization, Qing Su let out a mocking laugh.

Qing Yun looked helplessly at this young lady which finally broke free of her delusions.

“Then, Big Brother Yun, can I still cultivate this technique?” Qing Su said with an excited voice, her alluring amber eyes were staring at Qing Yun with expectation.

“Mn”, Qing Yun nodded and smiled lightly, ” You should know by now that the [Star Breathing Technique] you practice is no ordinary technique.

Qing Su nodded and waited for Qing Yun to continue. It was the first time she heard the name of this technique but she wasn’t aware that Qing Yun didn’t gave her the full name.

“Actually, it shouldn’t have taken three years for you to breakthrough to Xiantian Realm, but the [Star Breathing Technique] is a little unusual. Once you reach the Xiantian Realm you will have to start refining your profound core from the Spiritual Qi. But with the [Star Breathing Technique] the profound core can’t be refined from Spiritual Qi. From now on you’ll have to refine the Star Qi if you want to breakthrough. If you can refine even a strand of Star Qi you should be able to break through to Xiantian Realm.”

As she listened to Qing Yun explanation, Qing Su become more and more dumbfounded. Star Qi? It was the first time she heard about this kind of Qi.

“Hehe”, Qing Yun let out a light laugh, “Girl, the laws that govern the Star Qi are more profound than the ones that govern the Spiritual Qi. I guess it should take you a year before you can refine a strand of Star Qi.

Qing Su nodded slightly as if she was still in thoughts. One could see a trace of expectation in her eyes.

All of a sudden, Qing Su moved from Qing Yun lap and swiftly sat cross-legged on the bed.

“Mn, It looks like she grasped something!” Qing Yun smiled as he looked at Qing Su with some expectation. He too was excited to how far the [Star God Breathing Technique] would take this graceful young lady.

“Alright, I can’t allow myself to fall behind my little sister, I should start to!”

Qing Yun let Qing Su use the bed and sat cross-legged on the floor as he closed his eyes.

In his sea of consciousness, Qing Yun starred dumbfounded at the information that appeared in his mind not too long ago.

It was a cultivation technique. It had just a name and a small description,

[Primordial God Physique – The cultivation technique used by the Primordial God. It allows one to cultivate the Primordial Qi]

“This… Why is this so similar to the [Star God Breathing Technique]?”

Qing Yun was stunned for a while before a surge of happiness enveloped his entire being. In the Gate of Knowledge, the [Star God Breathing Technique] was the most mysterious and powerful cultivation technique that he could access at this moment. However, he knew that this cultivation technique wasn’t suitable for him and felt very bitter because of this. But now, there was another cultivation technique that could be just as powerful.

Altough he wasn’t sure if he could cultivate it yet, what were the odds for it to appear right when he needed a cultivation technique?

Unable to contain his excitement Qing Yun shook his head and started to cultivate.

Strands after strands of Spiritual Qi entered Qing Yun’s body without any obstruction. During the Qi Refining Realm one needs to gather the Spiritual Qi inside their dantian and refine it in Profound Qi. The Profound Qi would then be used to form one’s profound veins. With every profound vein they would gain a rank. When one reached the 10th rank of Qi Refining Realm they could breakthrough to the Houtian Realm.

Qing Yun slowly guided every strand of Spiritual Qi towards his dantian.

Puff!

“This… Whats going on?” Qing Yun was startled as he gazed dumbfounded at how every strand of Qi that entered his dantian disappeared without a trace.

He shook his head and started to guide the Qi inside his dantian again… The result was the same. Every time the Qi entered his dantian it would disappear without a trace.

“Don’t tell me I can’t cultivate this technique either!” Qing Yun had a bitter expression on his face. He shook his head and started again. He wasn’t someone to give up easily.

One hour, two, three, four. Unknowingly four hours passed as Qing Yun remained in that state. Fortunately, after four hours, a change took place in his dantian.

Inside the room, Qing Su already woke up from her cultivation state. At this moment her amber eyes were as wide as saucers as she stared at Qing Yun. Her jade white hands were covering her small trembling lips.
