I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 253 Great Harvest, Spirit Wood Enters the Body!

Logically speaking, low-level Qi Refining cultivators should not be able to see through the cultivation level of high-level cultivators.

However, Xie An had cultivated the Soul Burial Scripture to a high level, making his soul perception ability extremely abnormal. With just a slight circulation of the Soul Burial Scripture, he sensed Chen Yu'er's spiritual energy fluctuations and then deduced Chen Yu'er's approximate cultivation level.

Chen Yuer glared at Xie An, thinking to himself: The effects of the Burial Soul Scripture are truly remarkable.

However, he said aloud, "Just the seventh floor."

Even though Xie An was mentally prepared for this, he was still greatly surprised when he heard Chen Yuer say these words in person.

At the sixth level, one can awaken spiritual consciousness; at the seventh level, one can fly on a sword.

In other words, Chen Yuer has now reached the level of flying on a sword.

Ten years ago, Xie An would never have dared to do such a thing.

Xie An laughed and said, "Is it possible to fly on a sword?"

"It should be possible, but I haven't tried it."

Xie An rubbed his hands together, a look of great anticipation on his face. "Why don't you give it a try?"

Chen Yuer was clearly also curious about such bizarre methods. She stood up, stretched her limbs, walked to the middle of the courtyard, and took out her blood-red spear.

Infused with spiritual power, the spear immediately emitted a deafening buzzing sound, then slowly came to rest at Chen Yuer's feet, trembling incessantly.

Back in Qingwu County, Chen Yuer was able to control soldiers with his qi. However, this could only be used for combat; he couldn't use it to drag someone into flight.

Today it is different.

She could clearly feel that her spiritual energy was much more abundant than when she was at the first level of Qi Refining, and it was enough to carry people flying.

But it was just a feeling; she hadn't tried it herself, so she couldn't help but look forward to it.

call.

Chen Yuer took a deep breath, then stepped onto the blood-red spear.

"rise."

With a soft shout, the blood-red spear shot up from the ground, transforming into a streak of light that soared into the sky. Chen Yu'er swayed and nearly fell to the ground, but fortunately, she had excellent balance. After twisting her waist, she regained her balance and followed the spear, soaring dozens of meters into the air, swirling and flying.

Her robes fluttered, making her look like a fairy.

Chen Yuer was overjoyed, and a long-lost, hearty smile appeared on her usually cool face.

This feeling is truly wonderful, incomparably comfortable.

It gives off a sense of the distinction between immortals and mortals.

Not to mention Chen Yuer, even Xie An was stunned and looked on with longing: Is this the sword flight technique of the seventh level of Qi Refining? It is truly a divine skill.

Flying... that's a skill that mortals dream of.

Xie An traveled through two lifetimes, experiencing a full century, before witnessing the incredible skill of flying on a sword for the first time.

He thought to himself, "If only I could cultivate to the seventh level of Qi Refining."

The path of cultivation is arduous and often requires a long period of hardship, but the surprises it brings are equally extraordinary.

It's worth it.

Just as Xie An was stunned, he suddenly felt a gust of wind sweep over him, and Chen Yuer arrived in front of him, riding a blood-red spear. She extended a slender, long hand.

"Xie An, come up here, I'll take you on a ride on the wind."

Xie An finally came to his senses and looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him, her clothes fluttering in the wind.

Chen Yu'er knew Xie An was looking at her, and chuckled softly, "You're only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, aren't you? You're still quite a distance from the seventh level of sword flight. Come on up and experience it."

Xie An then extended his hand, "Alright."

Grasping that slender, fair hand, the other person gently pulled him, and Xie An found himself standing on the shaft of the blood-red spear.

With a whoosh, the crimson spear shot into the air like a hawk, startling Xie An so much that he nearly fell. Fortunately, Chen Yu'er reached out and grabbed Xie An, pulling him back firmly. This prevented a farce from happening.

He stood on a long spear, riding the wind and sky.

This feeling made Xie An extremely excited.

That's so awesome!

The wind whistled past his ears, and the houses on either side rushed past, forming two lines. In an instant, Xie An felt as if he had returned to his youth.

Chen Yuer was clearly also very excited, and he pulled Xie An to fly around the entire city-state for a long time without showing any intention of stopping.

"Xie An, where do you want to go? I'll take you there."

Xie An was filled with excitement. "When I was walking on the ground, I felt that this ancient city was very grand and magnificent, and it was quite tiring to walk around it. Now that I'm flying in the sky, I feel that this ancient city is not so big. If Miss Yu'er doesn't feel tired, why don't you walk around it a couple more times?"

Chen Yuer laughed and said, "I'm not tired. Let's go around a couple more times."

She rode her spear, pulled Xie An around twice more, and let loose completely before finally returning to the villa, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.

With her feet firmly on the ground, Chen Yuer was still excited and began to wield her spear.

Every move they made carried unimaginable power.

Xie An was stunned by what he saw.

Seventh level of Qi Refining, that's impressive.

In comparison, my own Qi Refining Level 5 cultivation level didn't seem so appealing.

Just as Xie An was lost in thought, the seal on his right palm rippled, and upon sensing it... it was a message from the white fox. It said something had happened at Seven Star Village and asked if Xie An had emerged from seclusion. If so, he should go to Seven Star Village.

Xie An asked the white fox what had happened, and the white fox didn't hide anything and told him everything.

Xie An had already made up his mind. Only after Chen Yu'er stopped practicing with the spear did he ask, "Miss Yu'er, do you still intend to stay here in seclusion?"

After so many years of getting along, Xie An no longer considered Chen Yuer an outsider.

If she wishes to remain here in seclusion, Xie An might as well leave on his own. He could close the city gates for her and come to fetch her next time.

Chen Yuer looked longingly at the lush Iron Spirit Kunmu trees, then shook her head. "Twenty years have passed since Qingwu County. I plan to return to Beiliang."

Xie An was stunned for a moment.

Back to Beiliang...

He suddenly came to his senses.

Chen Yu'er was originally a bewitching woman from Northern Liang, overseeing all affairs of the sixteen kingdoms of Northern Liang. Countless people under her command longed for her return.

However, Xie An was not one to be coy, and he quickly adjusted, saying, "Having been away from Beiliang for twenty years, it is only right that I go back to visit."

Chen Yuer also realized that their parting was imminent, and felt a little sad. "What about you? What are your plans for the future?"

Xie An said, "I promised my master that I would go out to find her after ten years of seclusion. I suppose there is something I need to tell her."

Chen Yuer said, "If you've thought it through, that's fine. By the way, do you trust your master?"

Xie An shook his head. "I can't explain it."

Chen Yuer said, "I know you are cautious by nature, so I don't have much to say. But the world is a dangerous place, especially among cultivators. It's common for brothers to kill each other in order to seize opportunities. You must be careful on your journey."

Xie An said, "I know what I'm doing. It's the same when you go to Beiliang. After all, twenty years have passed. If the court is unstable, you should prioritize your own safety."

"I know."

Xie An clearly had a lot to say, but when it came to the words, he didn't know how to start. So he simply stopped talking and took the five-colored lotus flower that was placed on the root of the Iron Spirit Kun Wood tree.

In an instant, Xie An felt a tremendous change occur in his mind.

It was as if he had some kind of magical connection with the Iron Spirit Kunmu.

This has never happened before.

Ok?
How could this be?
Xie An initially thought it was an illusion, but upon carefully examining the Soul Burial Scripture, he discovered the image of Tie Ling Kunmu appearing in his mind. It was as if their souls had become connected.

It seemed that with just a slight thought, one could absorb the abundant spiritual energy from the Iron Spirit Kun Wood through the five-colored lotus.

To verify this conjecture, Xie An immediately left the courtyard and rushed a long way. Then, a thought occurred to him…

To their astonishment, they discovered that they could indeed absorb the spiritual energy from the Iron Spirit Wood at any time.

It works regardless of distance.

Doesn't this mean that even if I leave the ancient city, I can still absorb the spiritual energy of the Iron Spirit Kun Wood anytime, anywhere?

This is... way too insane.
