Mortals ask the immortals

"Tell me, why did you come to me? Have you encountered a problem again?"

The second senior brother obviously knew that Duan Qing came to him for a purpose.

Duan Qing's thoughts were hit, and he scratched his forehead a little embarrassedly, nodded and said. "Well, it's like this, this year's spiritual mine rotation master wants to send me, and I have agreed."

Hearing this, the second senior brother looked at him in surprise. "You are only at the first level of Qi training, you are too reckless, and the master is also...!"

When talking about the master, the second senior brother suddenly paused, obviously realizing why the master Sanyan Zhenren did this.

Duan Qing was not so pessimistic. After all, he had his own plans. He had to go to the spiritual mine sooner or later, and the sooner he went, the better, so he said jokingly: "Hey, second senior brother, didn't you say that ordinary people can complete the mining task at the spiritual mine? I am better than ordinary people after all."

The second senior brother sighed helplessly. "Well, in that case, let me tell you what you need to pay attention to."

Duan Qing nodded. This was exactly why he came to see the second senior brother. He didn't want to go to the spiritual mine without knowing anything.

The second senior brother thought for a moment and said. "Well, first of all, the sect's mining task must be completed, otherwise it will increase your rotation time. And when you go to mine, it's best not to go too deep. The spiritual mine has been mined by the sect for many years, and the passages inside are complicated. If you are not careful, you will get lost."

Speaking of this, the second senior brother's face changed, as if he remembered some bad memories.

"Another point, don't be greedy when digging, just enough to complete the task. The raw spiritual stones cannot be used for cultivation. It's useless to dig too much.

Duan Qing nodded and took note of the words of the second senior brother, but thought in his heart that if his guess was correct, he would have to dig more, the more the better.

The second senior brother suddenly thought of something and asked Duan Qing. "By the way, do you still not have a magic weapon? The spiritual ore is hard, and it's very hard to use a magic weapon without a magic weapon. I'll lend you one. Remember to return it to me when you come back."

As he said that, he took out a magic weapon that looked like a sledgehammer from the bag on his waist. It was similar to the gilded sledgehammer he was using now. They were all black, but they looked a little rough.

This is the first magic weapon that the master gave me. It is of low quality, but it should be enough for you to deal with mining!"

Duan Qing looked at the black iron sledgehammer handed to him by the second senior brother, and his heart was warmed. It seems that in Yanfeng, the second senior brother is the only one who really regards him as a member.

He did not take the magic weapon from the second senior brother, but stretched out his hand to push it back, shook his head and said. "Second Senior Brother, you don't need it. Master just gave me a low-grade flying sword."

The second senior brother also took the black iron hammer back.

At this time, Duan Qing suddenly thought of a question. He didn't seem to tell his master and second senior brother that he had reached the first level of Qi training, but why could his master and second senior brother see through his cultivation at a glance?

If his guess was correct, going to the spirit mine would definitely make his cultivation soar, but if he was at the first level of Qi training when he went there, and his cultivation increased too much when he came back, wouldn't it be very strange!

With his own qualifications, it is impossible for his cultivation to increase so quickly if he practiced step by step. This may expose the fact that he has a treasure.

This thought flashed through his mind like lightning, but it frightened him to a cold sweat. Before, he took it for granted that as long as he could improve his cultivation, it would be fine, but now he just felt that he was too naive.

Thinking of this, Duan Qing looked at the second senior brother and said calmly. "By the way, second senior brother, how did you know that I was at the first level of Qi training."

The second senior brother rolled his eyes at him speechlessly. "How long have you been practicing? Could it be that you have reached the second level of Qi training? Even the eldest brother didn't reach that level that fast."

Duan Qing pretended to be a little unconvinced and continued to test. "My aptitude is so poor that it's possible that I'm not even at the first level of Qi training!"

The second brother couldn't help laughing. "Haha, it's not impossible when you put it that way, but in this case, you are the biggest fool in the history of our Jinxuan Sect. It's been almost two months and you haven't reached the first level of Qi training. Hahaha..."

Duan Qing was speechless, not because of the second brother's ridicule, but because he didn't get the answer he wanted. If he didn't solve this problem, he couldn't practice with all his strength.

After laughing, the second brother looked at the depressed Duan Qing and said. "Okay, I won't tease you. In fact, I saw it at the last Sanling meeting. It's nothing big. It's just a basic spell."

"What spell?"

Duan Qing asked back immediately.

The second brother looked at him strangely and said three words.

"The art of looking at qi."

Duan Qing noticed the way his second senior brother looked at him and felt that he had overreacted, so he stopped talking and just looked at his second senior brother, waiting for further explanation.

The second senior brother continued to explain to Duan Qing. "Because we cultivators have spiritual power, if we don't know how to restrain it, as the spiritual power runs, it will actively emit spiritual power fluctuations. The strength of the fluctuations emitted by different cultivations is also different, and the art of looking at qi is to observe this fluctuation to know the specific cultivation of others."

Duan Qing suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the master and the second senior brother could see through his cultivation at a glance. He remembered what the second senior brother had just said and asked the second senior brother back. "Second senior brother, if you know how to restrain your spiritual power, then others can't see it, right?"

The second senior brother nodded and praised. "Well, that's right, you are quite smart! There is a technique called Qi Condensation Technique. After you use it, unless your level is much higher than yours, you won't be able to see your specific cultivation level."

Duan Qing was overjoyed, grabbed the second senior brother's hand, looked at the second senior brother expectantly and asked. "Can Second Senior Brother know this technique?"

He was so excited, it was like the sky was the limit!

The second senior brother was startled by Duan Qing's sudden attack. He threw Duan Qing's hand away, looked at him with strange eyes, and said somewhat depressedly. "What's wrong with you kid! This Qi Condensation Technique is useless and relatively rare. Your second senior brother, I don't know how to do it."

When Duan Qing heard this, he felt as if he had fallen from heaven into hell, and lowered his head in despair.

At this time, the second senior brother's voice sounded again. "But... I have jade slips with Qi-condensing skills."

With that said, the second senior brother took out a jade slip from his storage bag and waved it in his hand, looking at Duan Qing teasingly.

Duan Qing suddenly became energetic again after hearing this. He raised his head to face the joking expression of his second senior brother and the jade slip in his hand, and said with some embarrassment. "Um...Um...Second Senior Brother, can you lend me this jade slip for a while?"

The second senior brother also guessed that Duan Qing would want this jade slip, otherwise he wouldn't have been asking about the Qi Condensation Technique just now, but he was still a little curious. "You're a guy who's at the first level of Qi training. Why do you want to learn this Qi condensation technique? Is it useful?"

Duan Qing panicked, but his expression remained as usual. He turned his head and thought of the answer. "Junior brother, I want to learn just because my cultivation level is low! I'm going to go to the spiritual mine for a rotation soon! When the time comes, others will see that I am at the first level of Qi training, and they may not know how they will bully me!"

After saying that, he made a pitiful expression.

When the second senior brother thought about it, it seemed to make sense. When he went to the spiritual mine for his first rotation, he was bullied by other disciples because of his low cultivation level.

Thinking of this, the second senior brother was relieved. "Okay, anyway, it was given to me by my senior brother. I didn't think it was useful so I didn't learn it. If you want to learn it, just take it. By the way, I'll give you this jade slip of the qi-gazing technique as well. There's no need to return it. Just keep it and study hard."

After saying that, he took out a jade slip from the bag, without looking at it, and threw it to Duan Qing together with the jade slip of Qi Condensation Technique.

Duan Qing caught the two jade slips thrown by the second senior brother, carefully put them into the storage bag, and said with a smile to the second senior brother.

"Thank you, second senior brother~"
