Chapter 29. Righteous Spirit Qi and Demonic Spirit Qi

Chapter 29. Righteous Spirit Qi and Demonic Spirit Qi

Su Kexin felt completely confused.

“Master, what do you mean?”

“Every person has Yin-Yang vital energy within them, and Righteous Spirit Qi represents the Yang aspect. Due to the Xuanyun Sect disciples cultivating righteous methods, their Yang energy is stronger than the Yin energy, leading to significantly higher Righteous Spirit Qi. Kexin, have you felt unusually heated or restless recently? Almost feeling like a fire is burning inside you?”

“Hmm… Yes, ever since I returned from Wind Sea Forest, I’ve felt very hot and uneasy.”

“That’s just right,” Han Fairy said earnestly, “Your Righteous Spirit Qi is too strong; the heart fire could injure your meridians.”

“Ah, then Master, what should I do??”

Su Kexin was panicking; she hadn’t done anything special, so why was her Righteous Spirit Qi so high? Could it really cause her heart fire to injure her meridians?

“Go to the pharmacy and ask the apothecary to prescribe something to counter it. Use herbs with cold properties to balance out your Yang energy, and soon your Righteous Spirit Qi will decrease. After a bit of rest, you’ll be fine. Kexin, what happened in Wind Sea Forest?”

“Hmm… This disciple isn’t clear either. I just killed a few monsters and clashed with the disciples of the Demon Sect, then I passed out.”

“If that’s truly the case, it’s unlikely that it would lead to an excess of Righteous Spirit Qi.”

Han Fairy pondered but couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation.

In similar levels, male cultivators tend to possess higher Righteous Spirit Qi than female cultivators. Yet, Su Kexin, only at the third stage, was stronger than five-stage male cultivators.

She couldn’t figure it out, but the high Righteous Spirit Qi could explain why Su Kexin was advancing so quickly, since the Xuanyun Sect’s techniques heavily relied on Righteous Spirit Qi.

“Shuqin will take you there. You should neutralize the excess Righteous Spirit Qi as soon as possible to avoid any aftereffects.”

“Okay, Master.”

Soon, Liu Shuqin brought Su Kexin to find the apothecary for medicine, and Su Kexin followed the doctor’s advice to take medicine and rest.

……

In these past few days, Lin Nuo had faced various questions due to the Wind Sea Forest incident, to which he always responded with “No comment.” The elders and masters within the sect couldn’t do anything about it, and even re-measuring his spiritual realm didn’t yield any conclusions.

Lin Nuo had stopped practicing demonic techniques these days, as there were no hidden corners in Tianling Mountain left for him to secretly cultivate.

He calculated that it had been almost a week since his last return from Wind Sea Forest.

He recalled the jade pendant with altered properties; after observing for a few days, Su Kexin continued to wear that pendant as usual.

This is too good. This pendant contains Demonic Spirit Qi, and over time, it would definitely damage her spiritual meridians unnoticed, limiting her ability to advance.

You want to cultivate? Overcoming the Demonic Spirit Qi would be tough enough! How could you possibly improve!

This Demonic Spirit Qi would hinder her progress without her noticing, and by the time she figures it out, it would probably be at least a month.

A month of limiting the protagonist’s advancement is more than enough; as long as she doesn’t level up, it’s good enough to grind her down.

After the Wind Sea Forest debacle calms down, he would make his move again, preparing steadily.

“Xuanyun Sect seems to have a book pavilion.”

Lin Nuo suddenly remembered this matter. In his previous life, after turning demonic, his comprehension improved, and he grew by reading various books without guidance.

The Xuanyun Sect’s book pavilion held countless books; to be honest, he hadn’t properly looked at the texts related to the righteous sect, as he hadn’t developed a reading habit before turning demonic.

“Let’s pay a visit.”

……

Xuanyun Sect, Zhi Shu Ge.

The grand book pavilion housed thousands of books, yet there were very few people inside.

Near the entrance of the pavilion, two lovely young women were whispering softly.

“Kexin, how’s your body now? Has the Righteous Spirit Qi balanced out?”

“According to the apothecary’s guidance, I’ve taken the medicine, and I feel much better. Thank you for your concern, Yuedong.”

“Why are you being so polite? But it is quite strange; your Righteous Spirit Qi is stronger than five-stage male cultivators, but it’s fine as long as you’re okay. You’re borrowing these few books, right? I’ll register them for you… ‘Yin-Yang Formula’, ‘Breath Regulation Fundamentals’… Hmm, they’re all books for Qi cultivation.”

Zhao Yuedong was one of the book pavilion’s administrators, but the main authority rested with an elderly man surnamed Zhou. Besides cultivating her techniques, she often assisted the elderly man in managing the pavilion and registering visitors for borrowing and returning books.

Su Kexin sighed softly, “I’ve hit a bottleneck in my cultivation; I hope to gain insight from reading.”

Su Kexin’s control over her Qi was still a bit weak. Although the potent Righteous Spirit Qi was mostly balanced after taking the medicine, she worried about facing a similar situation again and needed to improve her Qi control.

“You’re really diligent. I wish you success; just remember to return it within a month.”

Su Kexin was determined; after returning, she would definitely improve her Qi control and not constantly rely on her master.

“Kexin, look, who is that!”

Just as Su Kexin was about to leave, Zhao Yuedong grabbed her hand and pointed toward the bookshelf.

There stood a handsome young man, casually flipping through ancient books with a graceful smile, as if engaging in a dialogue beyond time with an ancient sage.
