Chapter 114 After All

  The luck points won't decrease for no reason, and it's even cleared to zero. If not after the upgrade, even if the luck points are consumed, they won't drop levels. I'm afraid Qin Yong will return to that miserable dragon suit halo again.

  Twenty-five spiritual energy points, disappeared without a trace, not even a hint was left. This made Qin Yong astonished and also somewhat helpless. Before he could think about the reason, his attention was drawn away. After eating the Clear Wind Ring Fruit, Qin Yong felt a warm current surging from his abdomen, spreading throughout his body.

  A profound understanding emerged in Qin Yong's mind, as if these original understandings that didn't belong to him were suddenly infused into his brain. Once understood, Qin Yong's temperament changed, and he looked ethereal and otherworldly, standing in the wind but seemingly merging with it.

  "Ah, so this is the realm of wind!" Qin Yong's eyes flashed with a hint of enlightenment as he opened his right palm, and a small whirlwind swirled within it, as if he had fully grasped the power of the wind. Soon after, Qin Yong shook his head again, revealing a few hints of regret, and sighed: "No, this is not the complete realm of wind, not even half, but more than three-tenths, I'm afraid it has already reached three and a half tenths of the realm of wind."

  Qin Yong quickly came to his senses from this sudden surge in mentality, not getting caught up in it. When he first broke through, Qin Yong also had this feeling, as if his strength was immense and he was the only one who mattered. But that was just the feeling of gaining power; in reality, on the True Martial Continent, even now, Qin Yong didn't amount to much.

  The only thing that surprised Qin Yong was that the Clear Wind Sutra could only comprehend three-tenths of the wind's intent, but now he felt it had exceeded that, reaching three and a half tenths. Qin Yong was slightly perplexed, but soon understood that previously he had been at a critical point of comprehension, just half a step away from grasping half a tenth of the wind's intent. And this time, with the help of the Clear Wind Sutra, Qin Yong took that final small half-step forward, finally reaching three and a half tenths of the wind's intent.

  This can be said to be an unexpected gain, filling Qin Yong's heart with surprise. Apart from this, Qin Yong also discovered that the original ordinary innate sword energy in his dantian had transformed into a self-rotating air vortex. This is known as the extremely difficult-to-obtain attribute of innate sword energy after cultivation, which has now turned into wind attribute and should no longer be called innate sword energy but rather innate wind sword energy.

  Qin Yong was also deeply moved by this. Originally, he had obtained the Water Yuan Fruit and was waiting to break through to the Xuanwu Realm before trying it out. Qin Yong thought that he should have cultivated the Innate Water Sword Qi, but as a result of this harvest, Qin Yong possessed the Innate Wind Sword Qi instead. This wind and water seemed to be destined by fate, and the Fengyun Sword Technique would probably become Qin Yong's strongest attacking method.

  The Wind Cloud Sword Art requires comprehension of three states of mind: wind, cloud and sword. In a short period of time, Qin Yong has already grasped half of the sword intent and three-tenths of the wind state of mind, both of which were acquired through the consumption of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. This is probably due to his good fortune.

  Qin Yong's eyes flashed with a hint of enlightenment, and he was probably right. His original aura points had completely cleared to zero. It wasn't just 2,500 aura points; this Clear Wind Ling fruit was a heavenly-grade spirit fruit that possessed powerful aura in itself, and might even give birth to spiritual intelligence in the future, transforming into another type of demon tribe. This situation wasn't unprecedented - for example, treasures like these were born with spiritual intelligence, which was much rarer than demonic beasts. But once successful, and becoming a demon tribe, even the worst would become an existence like an unparalleled strongman, terrifying to the extreme.

  "No matter what, being able to obtain the Qingfeng Ling fruit is a huge bargain, even if it costs tens of thousands of spiritual energy points." Qin Yong smiled, quite open-minded, and didn't become disheartened due to the disappearance of his spiritual energy points.

  Good fortune points can be earned back, but the chance to meet Qing Feng again is hard to come by. Even if Qin Yong had to owe good fortune points, he would be happy to do so, let alone now when his good fortune points have simply returned to zero.

  "The wind has subsided, it seems that the wind power here is strange, and it's really caused by the Clear Wind Sutra. However, the wind hasn't disappeared, but has all gone inside, indicating that there are still treasures inside, just not as good as the Clear Wind Sutra." Qin Yong looked at the changes in this passage and suddenly understood."

  The three paths of the canyon, all have treasures in them, but it's obvious that the middle and far right ones have more treasures than usual. From this situation, Qin Yong understood that the treasure is not inside, but in the middle. It's unknown whether the other two paths are the same, but this arrangement is very clever.

  Qin Yong was also quick-witted and would have thought of the possibility that there was a treasure somewhere in between, affecting the wind power. Otherwise, only those with high insight would think of it, and there might be treasures in between. In general, tests and trials, treasures are usually at the very end, after going through layers of difficulties and challenges, one can finally obtain them. This is a kind of habitual thinking, not to say that people in this world are not clever, but rather their thoughts are constrained by such ideas.

  This trip to the canyon, just the refreshing wind and the fruit of victory are completely worth it. Qin Yong smiled slyly, no matter what those five disciples of the Sword Sect got, they couldn't compare to him. Not to mention, even if those five people got some treasure, they would need to divide it among themselves.

  "There's still treasure ahead, let's keep going and get it in hand before leaving. We can try those two paths later." Qin Yong thought to himself, immediately turning around to head forward.

  This time, the wind power went inward completely, and even a gale appeared, like the edge of a sword or knife. If one was not careful, they would get hurt. This should be the original situation of the channel, but it was disturbed by Qingfeng's Gale Intent Fruit.

  Qin Yong now understood the realm of three and a half winds, and walking here was like walking on ordinary flat ground outside. The wind power couldn't disturb Qin Yong at all. Those terrible gale winds were also part of the wind power, just transformed into attacks. Qin Yong could now use such techniques with the help of the wind realm and the gale force, which completely couldn't stop him.

  As he entered the Gorge Passage, Qin Yu found it increasingly difficult to proceed, but now he was walking with ease. Soon, Qin Yu arrived at the depths of the Gorge Passage, where the unavoidable gale winds blew, and Qin Yu also used his own gale winds to disperse them. This journey had been smooth, but not easy, thanks to Qin Yu's comprehension of the Three and a Half Wind Realm and the Gale Winds' momentum; otherwise, even if he were in the Xuanwu Realm, he might not have made it this far.

  Finally arriving at the depths of the passage, Qin Yong saw something like an altar, on which seemed to be placed something. However, Qin Yong did not immediately go to see what it was, but instead shifted his gaze to the front of the altar, where a demon beast lay on the ground, seemingly taking a nap. This was a guardian beast!
