Chapter 21 - Top Talent, Successful Qi Absorption!
When Li Guanqi opened his eyes, he found Lan He and the other disciples in the hall staring at him. Their gazes carried an unmistakable sense of shock—almost as if they were looking at a monster.
He knew exactly why, so he remained calm.
Li Guanqi had just successfully absorbed some qi and broken through to the first level of the Qi Refinement Realm. It was nothing worth making a fuss over.
He had simply followed the Qi Absorption Sutra. Soon after, he entered a profound and mysterious state. He felt as if he were standing between the heavens and the earth, surrounded by many colorful lights. Only the purple lights were drawn toward him, and they merged into his body.
He felt quite comfortable. However, there were unbearably sticky impurities on his skin, which also emitted an extremely foul stench.
Lan He smiled slightly and said softly, “These are just impurities. As you continue on the path of cultivation, you will gradually expel them.
“You should go clean up. Meanwhile, the others can take a look at the Body Tempering and the Qi Absorption Sutras.
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.”
Initially, Li Guanqi felt it was inappropriate to leave in the middle of his very first lesson, but the stench was rather unbearable.
He apologized to Lan He, then headed towards the Heavenly Lightning Peak.
At the foot of the peak, he spotted an old man sitting cross-legged in meditation.
