Chapter 109: The Qi Cultivators
Old Ghost Wu nodded with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.
“This is a Qi Cultivation method from the Great Xia Dynasty,” he said. “But it’s incomplete, it’s just a fragment. There should be other murals like this elsewhere in the tomb.”
Qi Cultivation method from the Great Xia!?
Li Yanchu was stunned.
If he remembered correctly, the Great Xia Dynasty was the predecessor to the current Qian Dynasty. After the last emperor of Great Xia died, the realm descended into chaos, and the feudal lords warred for nearly two centuries. Eventually, the Qian Dynasty’s founding emperor rose and unified the land.
“Qi Cultivation method?” Li Yanchu had never heard of the term before.
Old Ghost Wu let out a disdainful snort and said no more.
Just then, a hoarse voice called out from behind, “Old Ghost, what’s with all the cryptic half-answers to these two young lads?”
The voice belonged to none other than the folk shamaness, Granny Chang, the same one who had taken a roast chicken from Li Yanchu earlier.
Hearing this, Old Ghost Wu gave a strange chuckle but didn’t respond.
Meanwhile, Granny Chang shot him a glare, then turned to Li Yanchu with a much warmer tone, “What they call Qi Cultivators were part of a unique cultivation sect from the Great Xia era. They didn’t cultivate spells or techniques, but focused solely on refining qi in pursuit of the path to immortality. Qi Cultivators were often referred to as those closest to attaining immortality. But with the fall of Great Xia, their lineage also vanished from the world.”
Immortality... Li Yanchu’s eyes narrowed. That word had caught his attention.
