Chapter 707 - 299: She Can Also Use Qi of Geng Metal?
Indeed, the Qi of Geng Metal.
Just now, in the attack Xi Wenxia launched, Chu Ning surprisingly sensed the presence of the Qi of Geng Metal.
That’s why Chu Ning deliberately went to receive those two spells just now.
And he could clearly feel that those two sword auras did indeed contain the Qi of Geng Metal.
There was nothing special in the cultivation technique, and the pair of magical artifacts were given by Chu Ning himself without anything special.
As for the spells used by the other party, Chu Ning didn’t notice anything unusual either.
If that’s the case, then the only anomaly must be Xi Wenxia herself.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning asked the other party in a deep voice:
"Why do your spells have slightly more power than ordinary cultivators? Do you know why?"
"Oh, Elder, you noticed?" Xi Wenxia’s eyes widened upon hearing Chu Ning’s words.
"Actually, I realized since I was young that my gold attribute spells were stronger than those of other cultivators.
But neither my parents nor I ever knew why, until after Foundation Establishment."
At this point, Xi Wenxia paused slightly, hesitating and hesitating even more compared to when she produced the Golden Yuan Technique earlier.
Chu Ning then interjected:
"Until after Foundation Establishment you discovered the presence of the Qi of Geng Metal in your spells?"
"Qi of Geng Metal?" Xi Wenxia blinked at this moment.
"So that’s what it’s called! Oh, Elder, how do you know?"
Chu Ning didn’t answer Xi Wenxia’s question but couldn’t help thinking more deeply.
This Qi of Geng Metal was something he had never seen recorded in any classics before.
Since awakening the Geng Metal Spirit Body, he always thought this Qi of Geng Metal was like the various talents the system gave him before.
Something unique to him.
But now, suddenly discovering that there was another cultivator who could wield the Qi of Geng Metal was undoubtedly a big surprise.
Chu Ning casually took out a piece of artifact refining material from his storage bag, then asked Xi Wenxia:
"Can you sense whether there is any Qi of Geng Metal on this?"
"Yes!" Xi Wenxia nodded.
Chu Ning then spoke again in a deep voice:
"Then how is the Qi of Geng Metal within you formed? Is it also absorbed from these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?"
Xi Wenxia’s complexion slightly changed upon hearing Chu Ning’s detailed inquiry.
Her pearly teeth habitually bit her red lips lightly, and then she spoke honestly:
"The Qi of Geng Metal was within me from the beginning. I don’t know how it was formed either.
It seemed that when I cultivated, it would generate automatically.
But after Foundation Establishment, I can indeed actively absorb and refine this Qi of Geng Metal."
As Xi Wenxia spoke, she pointed at the artifact refining materials in Chu Ning’s hand.
"Elder Chu, just like the Qi of Geng Metal here, if I want to absorb and refine it, it’s possible."
"Give it a try," Chu Ning immediately said.
Xi Wenxia, upon hearing this, did not hesitate either. She cast several spells onto the material.
Then, her slender jade hand reached out with a casual grab.
A wisp of faint Qi of Geng Metal floated directly from the material, landing into her hand, and disappeared in an instant.
However, Chu Ning could still clearly sense that this Qi of Geng Metal should have entered Xi Wenxia’s body.
This was exactly the same as when he first absorbed the Qi of Geng Metal.
Moreover, the way the spell was cast was also the same as when he started.
This caused Chu Ning’s eyes to flicker a few times.
"Where did you learn this spell for absorbing and refining Qi of Geng Metal?"
After Chu Ning asked, Xi Wenxia immediately shook her head.
"I didn’t learn it from anywhere. After I succeeded in Foundation Establishment, I suddenly felt like I knew it."
At this point, Xi Wenxia looked at Chu Ning with some curiosity.
"Elder Chu, how do you know so much about this Qi of Geng Metal?
Could it be that you also..."
"I once saw a friend demonstrate it before." Chu Ning casually made up an excuse, preventing Xi Wenxia from asking further.
"Oh!" Xi Wenxia responded with a still curious look on her face.
Clearly, she was very interested in Chu Ning’s friend having the same talent as her own.
Little did she know, at this moment, Chu Ning was equally curious and full of questions.
"Since this woman also possesses the Qi of Geng Metal, could it be that she also has a Geng Metal Spirit Body? Or perhaps, she carries a system as well?
No, she doesn’t even know what the Qi of Geng Metal is called.
If not, then how do we explain Xi Wenxia’s special constitution?"
With these many thoughts spinning in his mind, Chu Ning couldn’t help but ask Xi Wenxia if there was anything else unusual in her cultivation besides the Qi of Geng Metal.
Xi Wenxia thought for a long time, and besides saying her cultivation speed seemed slightly faster than that of ordinary cultivators, there was nothing particularly extraordinary.
And to check if Xi Wenxia had any Spirit Body Talent, Chu Ning specifically asked her to practice several cultivation techniques.
Chu Ning sensed her, but he did not distinctly feel the presence of a spirit body in her absorption of spiritual qi.
Chu Ning then took out a gold element technique from his storage bag, taught it to Xi Wenxia, and let her comprehend it.
Xi Wenxia was naturally overjoyed to see that Chu Ning was teaching her a spell.
Her talent for gold attribute techniques was indeed quite excellent, grasping many aspects immediately.
However, when specifically cultivating and comprehending it, she couldn’t reach the level Chu Ning had after awakening the Geng Metal Spirit Body.
Nevertheless, Chu Ning still felt somewhat unsure.
So, he used his methods on the spot to set up a barrier restriction and had Xi Wenxia attempt an attack.
Though Xi Wenxia felt a bit puzzled, she could guess that Chu Ning might have ulterior motives.
However, she obediently complied with his instructions.
After this, Chu Ning finally had a rough idea in his mind.
He could basically confirm that Xi Wenxia did not possess the Geng Metal Spirit Body. She couldn’t comprehend cultivation techniques or spells as Chu Ning did, and her spells didn’t double in power against the restrictions.
But indeed, she was slightly stronger than ordinary cultivators.
This somewhat resembled those with excellent Spirit Root Talent.
So, after giving Xi Wenxia a few more pointers, Chu Ning left with a belly full of questions.
