Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

At night, Li Guanqi sat in his quiet room, embedding the last ten low-grade spirit stones into the spirit gathering array.

He murmured, "Today, I can try to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining…"

During this past month, he could clearly feel the enormous changes in his body.

His perception of the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth had become significantly more pronounced.

After sitting cross-legged and entering a meditative state, the circulation of the cultivation technique within his body accelerated.

The spiritual energy in the quiet room transformed into a long rainbow, entering his body and being rapidly converted into Yuan Qi.

However, just as he felt the signs of a breakthrough, suddenly!

The sword box beneath his feet suddenly erupted with an extremely terrifying suction force!

Immediately afterward, Li Guanqi, who had been closing his eyes and focusing his mind, frowned as the Yuan Qi in his body began to flow away uncontrollably!

In just a few breaths, his cultivation level had already plummeted to the fourth level of Qi Refining!

Li Guanqi forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, attempting to accelerate the circulation of the cultivation technique within his body to suppress this strange loss.

But no matter what he did, the Yuan Qi within his Dantian Qi cyclone flowed away continuously, like a floodgate had been opened.

Third level!

Second level!

Li Guanqi faced all of this with a deathly pale expression, powerless to reverse the situation!

He could only watch helplessly as his cultivation level plummeted to the first level of Qi Refining.

Li Guanqi's face was pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat, a hint of disappointment flashing in his white eyes.

He looked around the empty quiet room and confirmed that the door was closed.

Li Guanqi, his body swaying slightly, went straight to the sword box.

He said expressionlessly, in a deep voice, "I can feel that you are devouring the Yuan Qi in my body."

"If you have a spirit, I hope we can talk!"

Silence.

Apart from his own breathing, there was no sound in the quiet room.

After remaining silent for a long while, Li Guanqi saw that the sword box was still motionless, like an inanimate object.

Li Guanqi strode forward, picked up the sword coffin, and walked outside.

Gu Ran, returning from her own cultivation, saw Li Guanqi from afar.

But before she could call out to him, she saw him carrying the sword box and walking quickly toward the back mountain.

Seeing his gloomy face, Gu Ran didn't say anything.

However, she felt that the Yuan Qi fluctuations in Li Guanqi's body were very weak.

She assumed he had just finished cultivating, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

Li Guanqi carried the sword box straight to the cliff behind the mountain.

When he arrived at the edge of the thousand-zhang cliff, Li Guanqi suddenly stretched out the hand holding the sword box!

The cold-faced youth looked at the sword box and said in a deep voice, "I'll say it one last time, are you going to talk or not!"

The sword box still didn't react.

Li Guanqi let out a cold snort, and then, twisting his waist, he actually threw the sword box in his hand directly off the cliff!

"You don't know what's good for you!"

After doing all of this, the youth turned around and left.

Li Guanqi, having thrown away the sword box, didn't feel like he had lost anything.

Everything he had now was obtained through his own efforts.

Even if his cultivation level dropped, he could regain his peak after cultivating for a period of time.

But he couldn't understand what was going on with this sword box, which was the sword hanging over his heart.

Li Guanqi's thinking was very simple. In his view, even if this thing was a treasure more powerful than the heavens,

if it couldn't be used for his own benefit, then it was just trash.

Did he feel heartache?

Not at all.

Because everything he possessed now wasn't given to him by the sword box.

However, when he returned to his courtyard, he found that the sword box had actually appeared in mid-air in the courtyard.

Li Guanqi wasn't shocked by this amazing scene.

Instead, he said mockingly, "Get lost!"

However, at this moment, the sword box trembled slightly, and countless spiritual lights emerged.

The spiritual lights finally transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman in a red dress!

The woman was extremely tall. Even the current Li Guanqi was a head and a half shorter than her.

She had a high nose bridge, skin as smooth as jade, and exquisite features.

Her figure was even more curvaceous, and the red dress was stretched tightly in the front and back.

But at this time, the woman's eyes were frosty, and her eyebrows were full of arrogance.

The look in her eyes, which scorned all living beings, combined with her aloof temperament, gave people the feeling that this woman should only be a fairy from the Immortal Realm.

Even Li Guanqi, who was usually calm and collected, was shocked by the woman's peerless beauty.

Before the woman could speak, Li Guanqi's expression became solemn, and he said very seriously.

"Don't, don't, don't… this seduction trick doesn't work on me."

The woman opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she frowned immediately after hearing Li Guanqi's words.

A hint of anger appeared in her eyes!

The woman flew up and sat on the suspended sword box, gently stroking the sword box with her right hand, and the sleeve on her shoulder slipped slightly.

Revealing half of her fragrant shoulder, the woman acted as if nothing had happened, and her slender phoenix eyes looked at Li Guanqi.

Her voice was as cold as the ice spring in winter: "You are not qualified to possess me."

The woman's slightly humiliating words were like a knife piercing into Li Guanqi's heart.

When he was young, Li Guanqi never wore new clothes or new cloth shoes.

"You are not qualified to wear new clothes."

This was the sentence that Li Dashi used to say most often!!

Li Guanqi shifted his feet slightly and walked towards the woman!

One step!

Two steps! Three steps!

When Li Guanqi came to the front of the illusory woman, he slowly stopped, looked up at the woman who was bowing her head, and suddenly grabbed the sword box with one hand!

Thump!

His powerful physique slammed the suspended sword box to the ground!

Bang!

Li Guanqi stepped on the sword box and leaned down in front of the woman, his pure white eyes no more than an inch away from the woman's.

Li Guanqi's face was calm, and he stared fixedly at the woman's eyes.

A cold voice also came from his mouth: "What is qualification?"

"Just a mere sword spirit, you can manifest yourself because you stole my Yuan Qi."

"What qualifications do you have to be arrogant in front of me?"

"Why are you so arrogant?"

The woman was perhaps shocked by the young man's presumptuous behavior, and she didn't react for a moment.

When the woman reacted, she could even feel the young man's hot breath.

Her body leaned back slightly, and a powerful force instantly sent Li Guanqi flying several feet away.

A flash of anger flashed in the woman's eyes, and she said in a cold voice, "Just because I am…"

But the woman's words were not spoken after all, but were swallowed back by her.

Immediately afterward, the woman actually laughed, and gently pulled up the fallen sleeve with her jade fingers.

She laughed self-deprecatingly: "I have been asleep for who knows how many years, and I would actually feel angry because of a brat like you."

Then the woman slowly got up, looked at the young man and said as if giving alms: "From now on, I want half of the Yuan Qi you cultivate."

"I will let you use one of the swords inside after you build your foundation."

Li Guanqi sneered and turned to leave: "Goodbye, I don't care."

Turning around, Li Guanqi cursed in his heart: "What the hell! Just a sword spirit who stole my Yuan Qi, what are you pretending to be."

The young man's attitude made the woman particularly annoyed, a flash of killing intent flashed in her eyes, and the sword box trembled slightly, about to open.

Suddenly!

A blade of cold light suddenly rested on her slender neck!

The woman's body suddenly stiffened, her eyes filled with anger!

"Old man, this is the second time you have threatened me!!"

And a voice from the void suddenly exploded in the woman's mind.

"Stinky woman, I'll only give you three chances to show killing intent!"

"If you miss these opportunities, I will kill you!"

"My grandson doesn't respond to threats, if you want to follow him, I advise you to soften your attitude."

The woman's face changed several times, and she said softly, "Okay! I'll return it to him!"

The blade disappeared, the woman stood on the sword box, her chest heaving violently, and finally took several deep breaths.

Then she jumped off the sword box and walked towards Li Guanqi's room.
