Chapter 25 Invitation (Please Follow)
Using the purchase of Spirit Rice and martial arts secret books as a front, Fang Xing and Ding Hongxiu got along quite well.
"Turns out Miss Hongxiu is also a Cultivator, my apologies for the oversight..."
Hearing the other's identity as a Cultivator, Fang Xing feigned a serious gesture and bowed.
"It's nothing, I only have talent for the bare minimum, barely reaching the Qi Cultivation Second Layer... Grandfather doesn't even let me go out to make a living in Qinglin Square..."
Ding Hongxiu waved her hand: "He's afraid that some Martial Arts expert will cut me down without a second thought..."
"Oh? Do you know what happens when an Innate expert and a Qi Refining cultivator fight, who wins and who loses?" Fang Xing became interested.
"I'm not too clear on the details, but I've heard from Grandfather that if it's an early Qi Refining cultivator who doesn't use a Defense Talisman or a Magic Artifact in time, they are in grave danger once an Innate expert gets close..."
"Of course," Ding Hongxiu continued, "It gets much better once you reach the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage. Once you've created some distance and are ready, a Qi Cultivation Middle Stage Cultivator can easily slaughter an Innate Martial Artist... Those at the late stage of Qi Cultivation are simply not something any peak Innate Martial Artist can handle."
"I see..."
Fang Xing nodded; this was an assessment from a Cultivator and should make sense.
'So a Rough Jade Realm Martial Artist can pose a threat to early or middle stage Qi Refining cultivators? What about a Rough Jade Realm Martial Artist who has learned an A-grade Martial Art?'
