The Emperor is Above

Chapter 278 Huh? I can now control objects with my Qi!

"Huh? There are so many people!"

"Just from what we see, there are at least three hundred people!"

"I've just arrived at the Imperial College for one day and already have so many followers. You are worthy of being called Guqiuyi."

Qing Yi was also extremely surprised when he heard the exclamations of a dozen new companions. It was not even morning yet and more than 300 people had gathered, and other imperial students were constantly rushing over after hearing the news.

The more than 200 Imperial College students who had become familiar with Qing Yi yesterday bowed and saluted when they saw Qing Yi appear, causing a lot of noise at the scene, as if it were a fan meeting of a big star.

"Guqiu Yi, I'm afraid there are too many people coming today!"

Yang Hu hurried over with a trace of worry on his shy face, "After everyone left yesterday, many people told their friends about the Beast Fang Puppet Soldier Competition, and the news spread quickly.

These people are either genuinely interested in the competition or the prizes you offer, so they called their friends to come here today. What do you think we should do about this?"

"Haha, this is a good thing!" Qing Yi was not displeased at all, but nodded excitedly, "I have long wanted to do something big in the Imperial College!"

"What?" Yang Hu was stunned and suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

"I think this is a great thing! Whether it's making or manipulating the Beast Fang Puppet Soldiers, it will be of great help to many of my classmates in their practice. The more people come, the better!"

Qing Yi's expression was so sincere that Yang Hu thought he had misheard. However, he saw Xing Shuan and a dozen other young men covering their mouths and laughing behind Qing Yi. He couldn't help but wonder, "I didn't expect that you, the Third Prince, also knew Gu Qiu Yi and that you both liked to go to the library to study at night."

"Third Prince?"

Qing Yi looked back at Xing Shuan. This young man was actually Xing Boyun's third brother and Xing Hou's third son. Just looking at their appearance, one could not see any similarities between the two.

Xing Shuan chuckled and bowed his hands to apologize, saying, "I'm sorry, Sergeant Guqiu Yi. I can barely be considered a member of the royal family. I really didn't lie to you."

"I didn't expect that the good friend I talked with all night was actually the son of a noble. Shuan must have known my identity a long time ago." Qing Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

"Don't you know that there is a grudge between me and your brother, Prince Xing Boyun? If Prince Xing Boyun sees that you and I are good friends, I'm afraid you will be caught in the middle and it will be difficult for you in the future."

"It's okay, everyone has their own friends!"

Xing Shuan still had an elegant smile on his face, "My elder brother doesn't care who I make friends with, and I won't care who he makes friends with either. Besides, doesn't the king and father also value and care about you?"

It was not until then that Qing Yi felt the skill of Xing Shu'an, the third son of Xing Hou, who had inadvertently maintained the relationship between the two sides at a clever stage and positioning.

Xing Shuan acted as if nothing had happened. He looked at the beast-tooth puppet soldier that Qing Yi had made yesterday with great interest.

When they learned the whole story, especially when they found out that Grand Priest Chen Lun had tacitly approved of this matter, even the other dozen or so students of the Imperial Academy took the initiative to express their willingness to participate.

"Then I will go and maintain order, so as to avoid the chaos and the displeasure of the High Priest."

At this time, Yang Hu's advantages and organizational skills as the son of Yaqing were evident. Although he was still shy when talking to people, everyone from the king and royal family members like Xing Shu'an to the princes, concubines, and vassals of noble families all obeyed his arrangements, and the scene gradually quieted down.

Qing Yi produced another batch of animal-tusk puppet soldiers so that more people could copy and imitate them. The new students who saw it were very excited, and the students who had tried the difficult part themselves were even more impressed.

Perhaps Zhu Zhiwu is the happiest person at this moment. His rune strength is relatively weak, and he has not successfully created his own beast-tooth puppet soldiers, but he has discovered that he has an excellent combat talent for manipulating puppet soldiers.

He stood in the wide open space in the middle, shouting and yelling, controlling a puppet soldier to fight against many imperial students in turn. He won every battle and was invincible.

The beast-tusk puppet soldiers used in the competition were all made by Qing Yi himself. It can be said that the conditions of both sides of the competition are the same, but Zhu Zhiwu can win even if he fights two people at the same time, which fully proves the importance of combat talent. After a day and a night of fermentation, Qing Yi's big move has spread throughout the Imperial College.

By noon, not only had half of the students from the Imperial College come to watch, but from time to time one could also see the figures of doctors and professors from the Imperial College passing by.

Qing Yi understood that many people present were the eyes and ears of the Grand Priest Chen Lun, and that everything he said and did in the Imperial College would be reported to the Grand Priest and even the king and the ministers.

For this reason, he devoted more and more effort to guiding the students of the Imperial Academy. He walked around each student and gave them careful guidance. However, he was not simply a pushover. Instead, he was evaluating which students were worthy of recruitment.

After more than a day of observation, thirty people were remembered by Qing Yi as key recruitment targets, and there were more than fifty people who could be trained, all of whom were feudal lords and concubines of lower birth.

Of course, it is impossible for Qing Yi to poach dozens of students from the Imperial College at once. If there are five or six people willing to join, it will be considered a good result.

It has to be said that Yang Hu and Xing Shuan are both very skilled talisman masters. After summarizing yesterday's experience, Yang Hu was the first to produce a qualified beast-tusk puppet soldier today, followed by Xing Shuan who completed the task shortly afterwards.

With the motivation of the top student as an example, the other participating talisman masters and weapon refiners all speeded up. As for the poor students, they could only watch the top student perform with envy.

When the noise of the day ended, Qing Yi continued to go to the library to read at night. Before coming to the Imperial College, he hid a few spiritual fruits on his body, so he didn't have to worry about being thirsty or hungry.

With Pan Qing's help, Qing Yi could quickly find any book he wanted to read. Not only was all the books on the second floor of the library recorded, but Qing Yi also asked Pan Qing to copy down the books on the third and fourth floors that required permission.

Finally, in an ancient volume of sorcerer's practice methods on the fourth floor, I found the only vague record of ancient Qi cultivators.

It is unclear when Qigong practitioners originated. Today's sorcerers' practice methods actually evolved from the incomplete parts of the Qigong practitioners' practice techniques.

The cultivation level of a Qi Refiner is far superior to that of a sorcerer at the same level. However, Qi Refining as a whole seems rough and simple, and does not have as many combat skills as a sorcerer. Qing Yi feels that the two can enhance each other.

"It turns out that there are nine realms of Qi Refiners!"

Qing Yi held the torn animal skin scroll and read it seriously with a solemn expression.

"For those who practice Qigong, the first thing is to understand the mind and see the nature, the second is to make the nature and life harmonious, the third is to refine the Qi and transform it into spirit, the third is to make the spirit clear, and the fourth is to refine the spirit and return it to the abyss."

Qing Yi could understand the first five realms, but the last four realms made him confused.
"Breaking the void with a single thought, creating things out of nothing, creating the universe, embracing the origin and maintaining unity, these realms really sound too mythical."

After thinking quietly for a long time, Qing Yi couldn't help but shook his head and said, "In this case, let's not worry about the latter realms for now. Anyway, the sorcerer has proved that the first five realms are true.

Now I have passed the first stage of enlightenment, and after recent efforts to fulfill my ambitions, the second stage of harmony between sex and life has been basically completed. The next step is to refine qi and transform it into spirit. "

However, when Qing Yi's consciousness dived into the sea of ​​consciousness, he was surprised to find that a huge human figure had appeared in the center of the huge vortex, practicing Qi training.

"Isn't this my own image? I have already completed the stage of refining qi and transforming into spirit?" Looking at the image that looks exactly like himself, Qing Yi always feels creepy.
"It turns out that when I was buried in the lonely hill, I was breathing in the purple qi of the rising sun and the moon every day, which was actually refining qi."

Qing Yi couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat. He was extremely lucky that he didn't explode after practicing Qi Refining Technique randomly. It seemed that this was the benefit brought by the jade bead.

When he woke up again from the sea of ​​consciousness, Qing Yi felt extremely comfortable all over. This comfort was a sense of transparency from body to soul, and it even made people have an addictive spiritual dependence on practice.

Just as he was about to return the books he had read all night to the bookshelf, he found that the dozens of thick books in front of him were automatically classified according to his thoughts and floated back to their original positions one by one.

"Huh? Now I can also control objects with my Qi!" Qing Yi was overjoyed, but then he was slightly stunned, "No, this is not controlling objects with Qi, but controlling objects with my soul and mind power!"
