You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"As for your self-preservation methods, your strength won't improve much in the short term. You can only rely on external forces. If you're willing to cooperate, I can help you get some third-tier talismans. These will allow you to protect yourself even when facing a Foundation Establishment expert." Qin Muyao knew that Chen Huai'an was telling the truth. Although Chen Huai'an was very talented and could kill enemies of higher levels, he must have relied on external forces, not his true strength. If she got him some third-tier talismans, he could protect himself when he encountered a Foundation Establishment expert.

"Senior Sister Qin, besides needing third-tier talismans, I also need second-tier mid-grade or high-grade pills. Combat cannot rely solely on external forces; one must also rely on one's own strength." Chen Huai'an couldn't buy these cultivation pills in the trading market, but with Qin Muyao's abilities, coordinating the acquisition of some cultivation pills for him wouldn't be a problem.

What he needs to do now is to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible. Only by improving his strength will he have some ability to protect himself in the face of crisis.

A Foundation Establishment stage expert is not someone he can easily deal with.

"No problem, I can get you some second-tier pills for cultivation." As Qin Muyao spoke, she tossed two porcelain bottles to Chen Huai'an.

"These are the pills you need, but I don't need them right now. Perfect, you can use them to improve your strength."

"Senior Sister Chen, how many spirit stones are those pills? I'll buy them," Chen Huai'an asked.

"This thing isn't worth many spirit stones; consider it a reward for your willingness to help." Qin Muyao is currently a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator and will soon condense her Golden Core, becoming a Golden Core cultivator. This Qi Refining pill won't be of much help to her.

"Then I'll thank Senior Sister Qin here." Chen Huai'an didn't refuse. He knew that with her cultivation level, this amount of pills was nothing.

"This is the cultivation method of the Qi Observation Technique, it's in this jade slip, and now it's yours." As Qin Muyao spoke, she took out another jade slip and tossed it to Chen Huai'an.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Qin!" Chen Huai'an quickly expressed his gratitude.

With this Qi-observation technique, when acting as bait, he can see through the opponent's cultivation level. This way, during battle, as long as he senses that something is wrong and beyond his capabilities, he can run away in advance.

"Use these pills to improve your cultivation first. Once you've successfully mastered the Qi Observation Technique, we can begin our operation." Qin Muyao knew that having Chen Huai'an cultivate the Qi Observation Technique would only benefit him, not harm him. In the upcoming operation, being able to see the opponent's true strength would allow him to make the most correct judgment, rather than blindly fighting to the death.

They have taken over the Qingyun Mountain mine, but defending it will be quite difficult, as they constantly face enemy attacks.

"Understood, Senior Sister Qin. I will try my best to master the Qi Observation Technique as soon as possible." After saying this, Chen Huai'an took his leave.

"These are mid-grade second-tier Qi Refining Pills, and there are twenty of them." Back at his residence, Chen Huai'an looked at the Qi Refining Pills in his hand and couldn't help but sigh. The inner sect members were all very wealthy. They could easily get something that was just slipped between their fingers. They would have to fight to the death and endure all kinds of scorn to get it.

"What I need to do in the next few days is to improve my cultivation and see if I can break through to the peak of the sixth level of the mid-stage Qi Refining Realm." Chen Huai'an did not immediately consume the Qi Refining Pill in his hand, but instead sent it into the space of the purple gourd. He had to refine this mid-grade Qi Refining Pill into a top-grade Qi Refining Pill. His innate talent was too strong, and each breakthrough required a large amount of cultivation resources.

Twenty mid-grade Qi Refining Pills wouldn't be enough for him to break through to the peak of the sixth level of the mid-stage Qi Refining Realm. However, if he had twenty top-grade Qi Refining Pills, he could perfectly absorb their medicinal power, greatly increasing his chances of breaking through.

"Since this Qi Refining Pill hasn't been fully refined yet, I can take a look at how to cultivate this Qi Observation Technique." Chen Huai'an didn't enter the purple gourd space because there were too many people and it wasn't safe. He also didn't want anyone to discover his secret. So he checked the Qi Observation Technique he had just acquired at the accommodation arranged by the mine.

The Qi Observation Technique is simple in some ways and difficult in others, depending on individual talent and comprehension. It's simple in some ways because it's actually just an auxiliary spell, quite useless.

You can use your divine sense to detect someone's cultivation level, but that's only the level they want you to see.

However, someone like Chen Huai'an, who likes to conceal his cultivation level and cultivates the Qi Concealment Tribulation, cannot see the other party's true cultivation level through divine sense, but can see it through this Qi Observation Technique.

Of course, if the other party's cultivation level is much higher than his, he still cannot detect it.

This alone is enough for Chen Huai'an now, especially considering his cultivation level. The further he progresses, even within each minor realm, the difference in their strength becomes enormous.

Especially those experts above the Golden Core realm, Chen Huai'an has no way of contacting them. The only ones he can contact now are those at the Qi Refining realm and the Foundation Establishment realm.

Even within the Foundation Establishment realm, there are early, middle, and late stages. Although they are all at the Foundation Establishment realm, the differences between them are vast.

If one possessed this Qi Observation Technique, one could discern the level of the Foundation Establishment realm of the other party.

Chen Huai'an could handle the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage, but if it reached the middle or even late stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, he wouldn't be able to fight and would have to run away.

To be bait, you must at least understand the strength of your opponent before you are qualified to be bait. Otherwise, you will really become fish on the chopping block, cannon fodder that can only be slaughtered at will.

Because Chen Huai'an had cultivated the Nameless Concealing Breath Technique, his cultivation of the Qi Observation Technique went exceptionally smoothly. In just one night, Chen Huai'an mastered the Qi Observation Technique.

Early the next morning, Chen Huai'an left his residence. Now that he had mastered the Qi Observation Technique, he had to find someone to test it on.

"Huh, this Fatty Han has also concealed his cultivation level." Chen Huai'an saw Han Mu as soon as he stepped out. He used the Qi Observation Technique to take a look and found that this guy was not at the fourth level of the mid-stage Qi Refining Realm, but at the peak of the sixth level of the mid-stage Qi Refining Realm. You wouldn't know unless you looked closely, but this guy is also a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Chen Huai'an then used the Observation Qi Technique to look at the other outer and inner disciples in the mine. He found that their cultivation levels were the same as what he sensed with his divine sense, and they were not deliberately hiding their cultivation levels.

Especially for those whose cultivation level is below Chen Huai'an's, he can see through their true cultivation level even without using the Qi Observation Technique. For those whose cultivation level is higher than his, he can only use the Qi Observation Technique.

"Junior Brother Chen, you're back. I just happened to have something to discuss with you." Han Mu greeted Chen Huai'an immediately upon seeing him.

"Senior Brother Han, what do you want with me?" Chen Huai'an asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Junior Brother Chen, do you have a grudge against this Su Wanying?" Han Mu asked.

"Senior Brother Han, why are you suddenly asking this? Has something happened?" Chen Huai'an had a bad feeling that Su Wanying was probably up to something again to cause him trouble.

"I just looked at the task list, and you're going to the mine to mine." Han Mu looked very suspicious.

"Going down to the mine, mining, what exactly is going on?" Chen Huai'an frowned.
