My Profession Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 10: Chapter 6: Innate Qi Sword

"...Brother Dong, you flatter me." Jiang Xuan was momentarily unsure how to respond to such straightforward praise.

Dong Hao, however, paid it no mind. After praising Jiang Xuan, he immediately took out a small booklet and pressed it into Jiang Xuan’s hands.

"Although my Dong Family’s Hundred Treasures Pavilion is no small business, you should know, Brother Jiang, that for families like ours with many heirs, the competition is even fiercer."

"To make a good impression on the family elders, and more importantly, to earn a little spending money for myself, I’ve started a small business here at the Daoist School."

"This booklet lists the goods I can currently supply: Elixir Pills, Magical Artifacts, Cultivation Techniques, Talismans—you name it, I have it. The prices are at least thirty percent lower than the Sect Marketplace. Additionally, I’m always looking to buy various Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and Exotic Techniques. If you have anything you want to sell, Brother Jiang, just come to me."

This proactive enthusiasm, combined with a familiar air that treated him like an old friend, convinced Jiang Xuan that the man before him was indeed a skilled businessman.

And as it happened, he needed a simple, quick-to-learn Qi Cultivation Technique to establish his main profession. For this reason, he didn’t refuse. He took the booklet and flipped straight to the page listing the Cultivation Techniques.

"Hm?"

When he saw Jiang Xuan take the booklet and go straight for the Cultivation Technique page, Dong Hao’s eyes lit up. He instantly understood that Jiang Xuan was in urgent need of something. No longer in a hurry to leave, he stood by Jiang Xuan’s side, curious to see what kind of Cultivation Technique he was looking for.

Paying Dong Hao no mind, Jiang Xuan quickly flipped to the section on Cultivation Techniques and began searching for one that was simple to practice.

However, after a bit of searching, Jiang Xuan realized he had miscalculated.

It wasn’t that the booklet lacked Cultivation Techniques—though Dong Hao claimed he was just running a small business to earn some spending money, his distinguished background meant that none of the techniques in his booklet were simple. In fact, their quality was extremely high.

But not only were these Cultivation Techniques difficult to practice, he couldn’t afford a single one.

Naturally, Dong Hao noticed Jiang Xuan’s disappointed expression. This prompted him to take a step forward and ask, "Brother Jiang, judging by your expression, am I to assume none of the Cultivation Techniques in my booklet are to your liking? If so, don’t worry. You can just tell me your requirements, and I’ll find one for you when I return to my family’s estate."

His words made Jiang Xuan even more embarrassed. "Ahem, you’re too kind, Brother Dong. The Cultivation Techniques in your booklet are all treasures; it’s just that my pockets are a bit empty right now, and I can’t afford them. Besides, I’m not looking for some profound technique, just a Qi Cultivation Technique that’s quick to learn and easy to master."

"A quick-to-master Qi Cultivation Technique?" Dong Hao didn’t pay any mind to Jiang Xuan’s comment about his finances. Hearing his request, he looked surprised and instinctively advised, "Brother Jiang, the Nine Breath Qi Refining Method taught at our Daoist School is the most suitable orthodox technique for cultivating in the Acupoint Opening Stage. It builds the most stable foundation. Learning other unorthodox, quick-success methods won’t benefit your path of Cultivation."

Jiang Xuan shook his head slightly. "I know what I’m doing. I have other uses for it."

Seeing that Jiang Xuan didn’t want to elaborate, the perceptive Dong Hao didn’t press the matter. Instead, he took the booklet back, ran his finger down the list, and finally stopped at one entry, pointing it out to Jiang Xuan.

"I don’t have a quick-success Qi Cultivation Technique, but I do have a Secret Technique that combines a Qi Cultivation Technique with Swordsmanship."

Following Dong Hao’s finger, Jiang Xuan’s gaze fell upon a unique Swordsmanship technique.

"One Qi Sword Technique"

As Jiang Xuan looked at the name of the technique, Dong Hao began to explain its details from the side.

"This Cultivation Technique is also called the "Innate Qi Sword", or the "One Qi Sword Heart Technique". It’s very simple to begin; you just need to recite the Heart Technique and cultivate a breath of Primordial Qi. To reach the Second Realm, you only need to make your Spiritual Qi more condensed and pure and imbue it with some of the sharp Traits of Sword Qi. It’s not considered difficult."

"But if you want to reach Third Realm Minor Success, or what one might call Mastery, the requirements for this Cultivation Technique become much higher."

"You need to refine the Qi of the Five Viscera into a single essence to break through."

"As for the Fourth Realm and beyond, it involves the Sword Heart and the Power of Heart and Spirit. It cannot be achieved by anyone without great perseverance and Comprehension."

He paused for a moment before adding, "Most importantly, it is both a Qi Cultivation Technique and an Attacking Sword Technique. Used for Qi cultivation, it allows you to unify all the qi within your body. Used for attack, this One Qi Sword—though it has only a single strike—condenses your entire Cultivation, qi and blood, and Heart Spirit into one slash. Among those in the same realm, its power is nearly unrivaled!"

"Of course, all of this is predicated on you being able to cultivate it to Third Realm Minor Success—in other words, Mastery."

"Before that, it’s of little use."
