Chapter 327 - 327: Fighting Two with One
“Huh?”
Qin Changqing’s words made Master Butterfly Cloud reflexively let out a surprised “huh?”
Soul fusion would mean she has to let down all her defenses and allow Qin Changqing’s Spirit and her own Spirit to merge. In this way, she should be able to gain a clearer sense of her bottleneck.
But by doing so, isn’t it comparable to another form of… well, you know.
Although, there is quite a big difference.
Qin Changqing merely wants to perceive her bottleneck, not to do anything else.
Still, from the perspective of a female cultivator, it is a matter that can be extremely embarrassing and difficult to accept.
Moreover, there are risks- what if Qin Changqing has malicious intentions?
That’s why Qin Changqing said that Master Butterfly Cloud would need to trust him completely.
“If the Peak Master believes this method is inappropriate, I can also attempt to refine one or two elixirs instead. However, I only have three types of medicinal herbs,” said Qin Changqing again.
Understanding the cultivation methods and experience of Master Butterfly Cloud are also necessary.
Because the elixir needs to be refined according to her circumstances, but this isn’t the most important thing.
The focus is on the bottleneck part.
If there were enough medicinal herbs, Qin Changqing could brute-force Master Butterfly Cloud’s breakthrough with sheer quantity.
However, such medicinal herbs are rare, and dealing with the bottleneck of a cultivator at the Peak of Refining Void Stage, not even the Guiyuan Sect might have many.
Master Butterfly Cloud’s expression quickly returned to normal.
Usually, she would rarely ever show such surprise.
She is already at the peak of the Refining Void Stage and is not unfamiliar with stronger cultivators. Her mental strength is unparalleled, so how could she be as easily startled as a young girl?
It is because of Qin Changqing.
She had been taken aback several times by him.
This time, it was also because Qin Changqing’s plan was beyond her expectations and required soul blending.
That’s why she uncharacteristically let out a surprised “Huh?”
She did not immediately answer.
Qin Changqing wasn’t in a hurry either. His gaze shifted away from her face, and he patiently waited.
While Master Butterfly Cloud’s expression remained normal, her hands subconsciously clenched together — a telltale sign of her inner struggle over which method to choose.
If she approved of Qin Changqing’s medicine, there was still a risk that it could be ineffective or that the herbs would be exhausted in vain.
However, to choose Qin Changqing’s second proposal required a certain level of decisiveness.
It indeed meant complete trust in Qin Changqing.
It would require her to let go completely of her defences without any need for Qin Changqing to do the same.
If Qin Changqing wanted to, he could see all her secrets.
Even worse, if he harboured ill intentions, he could seriously wound her, even though she was far more powerful than him. Once she completely let down her guard, Qin Changqing could severely hurt her. Even if she could respond promptly, she would still be severely damaged.
But instinctively, Master Butterfly Cloud wasn’t worried about that.
What made her hesitate was…
This method was somewhat similar to the spiritual communication between Taoist couples.
Despite the differences, the method was the same.
The current predicament was rather like a female patient visiting a gynecologist only to find out that he is a male doctor.
No, it went even further than that.
Of course, there still remained some fundamental differences – it did not involve physical contact.
However, this still made Master Butterfly Cloud struggle with her decision.
Then, after nearly half the day…
Finally, Master Butterfly Cloud’s expression hardened with determination. She looked at Qin Changqing and said, “Let’s go with the second option.”
She had chosen the second option, which entailed the fusion of her Spirit with that of Qin Changqing, to perceive her bottleneck.
Master Butterfly Cloud had been stumped too long by her bottleneck; she didn’t want to gamble on the first choice.
Naturally, the key point was her subconscious trust in Qin Changqing.
Furthermore, her ability to accept this method had much to do with Qin Changqing’s remarkable appearance, his demeanor, and the admiration she held for him.
Although these factors were subtle, she was naturally unaware of them.
“Alright.”
Qin Changqing was also straightforward about it.
“Let’s go inside the cave mansion.”
“Hmm!”
Master Butterfly Cloud quelled the rising nervousness in her heart and entered the cave mansion with Qin Changqing.
After Qin Changqing activated the prohibition formation of the cave mansion, he said, “We can begin now, Peak Master.”
“Okay!”
Master Butterfly Cloud closed her eyes, slowly letting her Nascent Spirit emerge.
Her Nascent Spirit emitted a golden light, and was quite solid.
A golden Nascent Spirit was already of high quality, but not quite like Sect Leader Liu Mengxian’s Immortal Foundation.
A first-grade spiritual root was, after all, not as good as an Immortal Spirit Root.
Then, Master Butterfly Cloud slowly removed her various defensive measures, and released her Nascent Spirit.
“It’s ready, Qin Changqing.”
The message came from her Nascent Spirit.
Qin Changqing also released his Nascent Spirit.
The light emanating from his Nascent Spirit was purple-gold, even more dazzling and gorgeous compared to the golden light.
“A purple-gold Nascent Spirit, so powerful, he has built an Immortal Foundation, this Immortal Foundation is even more stable than Dongfang Xue’s!”
Once Qin Changqing’s Nascent Spirit emerged, Master Butterfly Cloud immediately sensed the power of Qin Changqing’s Nascent Spirit.
Surprise once again arose in her heart.
Because, Qin Changqing’s Nascent Spirit was truly a bit too powerful.
Purple-gold Nascent Spirit.
This purple-gold color was so rich that as soon as the Nascent Spirit emerged, it made Master Butterfly Cloud feel as if she was perceiving a trace of an Immortal Charm.
Qin Changqing had actually built an Immortal Foundation.
And this Immortal Foundation felt much stronger to Master Butterfly Cloud than what Sect Leader Liu Mengxian had, by who knows how much.
Although she had not seen the Nascent Spirit of the Sect Leader in person, her feeling would not be wrong.
In addition, Qin Changqing’s Nascent Spirit was also a bit too profound.
The Nascent Spirit of the Realm of Refining the Void was actually comparable to others’ Mid Void Cultivation.
Even when she was in the Realm of Refining the Void, her Nascent Spirit was far from this colossal.
How could Master Butterfly Cloud not be astonished?
Now, she knows more clearly how much of a prodigious talent Qin Changqing is.
No wonder, Qin Changqing could face two opponents alone in a fight between a Nascent Soul Peak and a Void Refiner.
The disturbance when breaking through to the Void Refinement was quite large.
“Heavenly Heart, how is that possible!”
Then, Master Butterfly Cloud discovered something even more unbelievable.
That was, there was a Heavenly Heart within Qin Changqing’s Nascent Spirit!
And what’s more, that Heavenly Heart was not weak!
This discovery made the Nascent Spirit of Master Butterfly Cloud, who had released all her defenses, involuntarily tremble slightly.
Heavenly Heart!
Heaven!
Had Qin Changqing just broken through to the Void Refinement, but already possessed a Heavenly Heart?
Even though she is a genius with a first-grade spiritual root, she didn’t start casting her Heavenly Heart until she reached the third layer of the Void Refinement.
Furthermore, the initial Heavenly Heart was weak and it grew stronger bit by bit.
Now, her Heavenly Heart is naturally much stronger than that of Qin Changqing.
But Qin Changqing’s current Heavenly Heart was much stronger than hers was originally, by who knows how much.
This was simply too astounding.
Even an Immortal Spirit Root couldn’t possibly achieve this.
At this moment.
Master Butterfly Cloud was once again shocked.
Her Nascent Spirit had somewhat stiffened.
“Could he really be a reincarnated Immortal?”
The idea involuntarily surfaced in Master Butterfly Cloud’s mind.
Although there was a major flaw in this conjecture.
That is, if there really is a Reincarnated Immortal, it’s impossible for the high-level Immortal Alliance to know nothing. But it’s quite normal for anomalies to occur when it comes to “Immortals,” right?
Wasn’t Qin Changqing’s Immortal Spirit Root not detected by many Holy Artifacts from various Holy Lands?
Well, Master Butterfly Cloud was now certain that Qin Changqing indeed had an Immortal Spirit Root.
When it comes to “Immortals,” anything is possible..
