It was not until Yuxu Peak that the Kunlun disciples lowered their swords, their faces filled with both relief and fear at having survived the calamity.

"As expected of Senior Brother Qiu!" After a while, someone spoke up with a sincere tone, "If Senior Brother Qiu hadn't come with us this time, we would have been in great danger!"

Everyone thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. In addition, Qiu Changtian did not gain enough benefits from this trip, so they immediately flattered him, fearing that he would not come for the next mission:

"Brother Qiu, you saved my life, and we will never forget it!"

"Senior Brother Qiu is so righteous that we will remember him in our hearts!"

"Brother Qiu's kindness is too great to be repaid. I am willing to repay you with my own body!"

"Go, go, go!" Soon, the female disciples present pushed the female disciple who spoke out of the circle to prevent her from continuing to have an attack.

Qiu Changtian responded to the flattery from his disciples with an awkward but polite smile.

Xu Yinglian, who was ignored by everyone, stood lonely at the edge of the circle, staring blankly at Qiu Changtian who was surrounded by people, wondering what he was thinking.

…

After returning to Jinling, Qiu Changtian continued to practice thunder magic for several days.

Combining his actual combat experience in the earth vein ruins, he has confirmed the biggest weakness of the Jade Pivot Thunder:

Too powerful!

The advantages of this thunder method are that it has a fast release speed, consumes a lot of true energy, and has extremely strong destructive power. It is a high-explosive attack method.

But precisely because the power is so great, there is no way to control the strength and release it freely.

In the underground ruins, when the ceiling exploded for the first time, the rubble almost hit his face.

When the tunnel was blown up for the second time, Qiu Changtian intentionally wanted to control the power of thunder magic.

But I found out that I couldn’t control it at all, and I was happy.

A ball of lightning the size of a palm, when shrunk to the smallest size, is only the size of a seal, but its power is still incredibly great.

If it explodes within one step, the aftermath will even hurt himself... Don't ask Qiu Changtian how he knew that.

Because of this, Yu Shulei's information needs to be kept as confidential as possible.

If too many people know about it, it will be easy to be targeted and cracked.

For example, when the lightning is shot out, the opponent shoots out the flying sword in advance.

Since the flying sword is much faster than the lightning, it only needs to collide with the lightning at the moment it is shot out to detonate in advance and blow up Qiu Changtian himself... That would be too stupid.

He shouted "Jade Pivot Divine Thunder" and then exploded on the spot, covered in blood. If there were onlookers present, the synchronization value of the invincible character would have fallen directly.

All in all, Yushulei is suitable to be used as a killer, and can only be used as a killer.

On this morning, Qiu Changtian was in his cave as usual, explaining the "True Words for Entering the Nine Heavens" to his fellow junior brothers and sisters.

After the talk, it was time for questions and answers.

"Senior Brother Qiu," Yan Zhitui suddenly asked, "I heard that you have recently learned a very powerful Taoist technique. Can you tell us about it?"

"Cough cough." Qiu Changtian coughed a few times, and his mind started to race.

First of all, Yu Shulei’s matter should be kept secret as much as possible.

The main reason is that Junior Sister Xu is too familiar with me and I can’t hide it from her; other people don’t need to know.

Secondly, I can’t refuse immediately.

After all, it is not easy for an invincible character to hide his trump card and not tell others about it.

After thinking for a while, Qiu Changtian smiled and asked:

"Junior Brother Yan, let me ask you first: Do you know what the 'two techniques and two methods' are?"

"The so-called 'two arts' are Qi-refining arts and Taoism; the so-called 'two methods' are magic swords and magic treasures." Yan Zhitui said cautiously, "I wonder if what I said is correct?"

"That's right." Qiu Changtian nodded and explained to his fellow apprentices:

"Among the two arts, Qi Refining is the most respected because only Qi Refining determines the most critical realm of cultivation."

"Without a sufficient level of cultivation, even the most powerful Taoist magic is nothing more than a castle in the air."

"Among the two methods, the sword of law is the most respected because there is a seal of Taoism on the sword of law, which can be used after refining it."

"If you don't borrow the magic sword and want to practice Taoism on your own, it will undoubtedly take up your time for Qi training."

"If you refine your Qi slowly, your cultivation level will be slow to improve, which will affect your longevity."

"The life span of an ordinary person is only about a hundred years. If you successfully cleanse your marrow, it can be extended to two hundred years, and if you achieve golden elixir, it can be extended to eight hundred years, and if you achieve Nascent Soul, it can be extended to five thousand years. After that, you will ascend to immortality."

"Compared to the time required for cultivation advancement, this extended life span is far from enough, so..."

Before Qiu Changtian finished speaking, he heard Guan Zhan sneer and say:

"So, instead of asking about Taoist techniques, it is better to focus on refining your Qi and improving your cultivation."

"Senior Brother Qiu has a clear mind for Taoism, and his speed of improvement in cultivation is far beyond that of ordinary people. It only took him half a day to open up his Qi Sea! That's why he has the spare time to delve into a Taoist technique."

"Yan Zhitui, how long did it take you to pass the three levels? It took a full half a month! How can you be qualified to covet Taoist magic?"

[Invincible character, synchronization value +1. ]

Qiu Changtian: ...

Oh, although this Junior Brother Guan usually has an icy face and often speaks too bluntly and mercilessly, he is actually quite cute.

He was secretly pleased in his heart, while Chen Zhen and Zhong Tianhuai were somewhat indignant. Yan Zhitui was not angry at all, but bowed and said:

"Thank you, Senior Brother Guan, for your guidance. I am grateful for your teaching."

"Junior Brother Guan, what you said is correct, but it is a bit absolute." Qiu Changtian said with a smile, "If everyone intends to stay in the sect for life, then that's fine."

"If you want to go out and gain experience, it is necessary to learn some Taoist techniques to protect yourself."

"After all, the Dao methods on a flying sword are often in line with the properties of the flying sword itself. If you encounter an enemy that can restrain the properties of your flying sword, and you have no other means to turn the tables, then it will be dangerous."

"Senior Brother Qiu said it well!" Chen Zhen and Zhong Tianhuai shouted deliberately.

Guan Zhan's face changed slightly (feeling slapped in the face), but after all, he had no experience in going out to gain experience, and Senior Brother Qiu was already a king in this regard, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.

"Alright." Qiu Changtian clapped his hands and said, "In short, for now, everyone should focus on refining Qi to improve their realm. If you want to increase your means of self-protection, you can go out with me for training in private. I will see where your actual combat flaws and deficiencies are, and then give you targeted suggestions for improvement."

Everyone nodded in thanks, then stood up and left one after another.

Only Xu Yinglian was still sitting on the cushion, motionless and quiet.

Seeing that everyone else had left, Qiu Changtian smiled and said:

"Junior sister, what's the matter?"

"I want to learn Taoism." Xu Yinglian said concisely.

Qiu Changtian did not answer immediately after hearing this. He just pondered for a moment and asked:

"You saw that I, your senior brother, have mastered a Taoist method, so you also want to emulate me?"

Xu Yinglian sneered and said:

"If you are afraid that I will catch up with you, you can choose not to give me any guidance."

Qiu Changtian smiled and said:

"Junior Sister Xu, what do you think of me? Well, with your aptitude, it's no problem for you to practice Taoism, but the specific method you choose depends on your purpose..."

"The purpose is to defeat your thunder magic!" Xu Yinglian blurted out without thinking.

"Why are you always staring at me?" Qiu Changtian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Can't you just focus on 'improving yourself'?"

Xu Yinglian was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said:

"Didn't Senior Brother once say: On the path of cultivation, it is really lonely to walk alone. With Junior Sister accompanying you, there will be no regrets, right?"

"If my strength is far inferior to yours, how can you let me follow you?"

"Ahem." Qiu Changtian was accidentally touched by her beautiful smile. He quickly turned his head to adjust his expression, then said with a wry smile, "Ying Lian, why did you suddenly confess to me? I was so scared..."

"I didn't confess to you!" Xu Yinglian jumped up and said angrily, "I just prefer to chase you than be thrown away by you!"

At this point, she realized that there was still ambiguity, and quickly made amends:

"Of course, catching up with you is the first step, and the second step is to surpass you! Then... the one who is left behind is you, Qiu Changtian!"

"Then I'll wait and see, Junior Sister." Qiu Changtian said with a smile.

Xu Yinglian gritted his teeth in anger.

The Kunlun Mirror, which had been observing the two of them, couldn't bear to see him bullying his junior sister like that, so it quickly and quietly opened a corner of the mirror.

While weakening his invincible character, it also releases his true temperament.

Remove the mental suggestion again!

Seeing that his senior brother didn't care about his provocation and even showed a playful and arrogant smile, Xu Yinglian was so angry that he almost trembled and felt that the blood was almost rushing to his forehead.

Suddenly, I realized that my senior brother's temperament seemed to have changed.

He is no longer the high, arrogant, cold "God" who always looks down on him.

The gentle smile he showed at this moment was more like that of a childhood sweetheart next door, with expectations for the future of the two of them, and a kind promise to him to "surpass me"...

The blood that had rushed to my forehead suddenly receded, and my body gradually felt strangely hot.

In order to hide the inexplicable slight throbbing in his chest, Xu Yinglian turned his head away and said vaguely in an almost inaudible voice:

"Hmph, just wait and see. Qiu Changtian!"
