Chapter 73: Pneumatic Realm, Gale Knife Technique

Xu Ning quickly walked back to his study.

After closing the door, Xu Ning took out the spirit medicine he had obtained in his trip to Yunze Mountains.

In addition to the two spirit medicines he picked up when he entered the mountains, he also encountered two more spirit medicines when he left the mountains.

Xu Ning absorbed the four spirit medicines, obtaining 22 units of energy in total.

Combined with the remaining 4 units from before, Xu Ning now had 26 units of energy.

‘It takes 45 units of energy to reach the pneumatic realm…’

Xu Ning thought in his heart, ‘In a few days, I will get three Qi Dans and one Qinglu Dan. They are enough to raise my strength to the mortal realm fifth stage pneumatic realm.’

‘Also, it seems like I should buy more spirit medicine with the silver taels I’ve saved up…’

Xu Ning had saved up his previous monthly salaries and subsidies. He initially wanted to use it to improve his quality of life.

But now, the situation was getting worse, so Xu Ning decided to improve his strength first.

Xu Ning currently had 1000 taels of silver in his hands, most of which were given to him from Qu Dayou.

If he used this to buy more Swallowtail Flowers, he would gain another dozen or so units of energy.

Moreover, Xu Ning was now an official lieutenant, and his monthly salary had increased from 50 taels to 150 taels. Combined with the 200 taels per month for all newcomers, Xu Ning had quite a lot of money to buy spirit medicine.

Although the stores for purchasing medicinal materials in the city had already closed, Xu Ning felt that this would not last for long.

As long as the Black Armored Guards rebellion in Dingyun County does not spread, the current state of emergency in the county would subside.

This was not what Xu Ning had expected.

The next day, more accurate news came from Dingyun County.

The Black Armored Guards who rebelled in Dingyun County had completely seized control of Dingyun County.

They also cooperated with horse bandits and even people of unknown origin, as reinforcements to their combat team.

Dingyun County even sent some cavalry to harass Qiuyun County, in hopes of taking control over Qiuyun County.

After this news spread to Kangyun County, it immediately caused panic.

It was because Qiuyun County was between Dingyun County and Kangyun County.

If Qiuyun County was captured as well, then Kangyun County would definitely be the next target.

The older generation thought back to the horrors of war from 30 years ago.

In order to deal with the possible crisis, all of the refugees who entered the city, except for the children, were sent to build defensive structures for Kangyun County.

This approach not only stabilized the city, but also provided the refugees a way to sustain themselves.

Through this, the county temporarily restored stability.

However, because of the impending gloom that hovered over the county, Kangyun County did not have the same vitality as before.

A few days had passed, and now it was the end of the month. Xu Ning once again received his portion of Qi Dans and Qinglu Dans.

After obtaining the Qinglu Dan, Xu Ning found a medicinal shop and replaced the Qinglu Dan with two Swallowtail Flowers. He also bought four extra Swallowtail Flowers with his taels of silver.

This provided Xu Ning with an additional 33 units of energy.

But now, Xu Ning had only 200 taels of silver left in his hands.

Name: Xu Ning

Martial Arts:

Spring Breeze Tactic (Mortal realm fourth stage: qi realm) +

Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic (Perfection Realm)

Gale Knife Technique (Intermediate) +

Light Feather Bow Technique (elementary) +

Available energy: 59 units

’59 units of energy…’

After looking at his martial arts panel, Xu Ning felt satisfied.

This was the first time he was able to save so much energy.

Right now, war might break out at any time, and his own strength was the greatest guarantee of his survival.

Xu Ning looked at the “+” next to the Spring Breeze Tactic.

Consume 45 units of energy to advance the Spring Breeze Tactic?

Yes/No

“Yes.”

Xu Ning felt quite distressed after spending 45 units of energy.

But soon after, his feeling of distress disappeared.

Xu Ning felt the internal qi in his body slowly accumulating.

It was like a barren land that was revitalized.

‘There is also an increase in my physical strength, but it is not too obvious…’

Xu Ning noticed all of the changes in his body.

‘Poof!’

Xu Ning activated the qi in his body and turned it into force.

Xu Ning then slammed his palm on the corner of the table.

The corner of the table suddenly broke into small wooden pieces, completely breaking apart.

‘The power of pneumatic realm force is so lethal!’

Xu Ning didn’t expect this.

He didn’t use all of his strength at all. If he slashed at a person with a knife, he would turn their flesh into minced meat.

This terrifying power gave Xu Ning more confidence.

‘I still have 14 units of energy…’

Xu Ning looked at his Martial Arts Panel.

Name: Xu Ning

Martial Arts:

Spring Breeze Tactic (Mortal realm fifth stage: Pneumatic Realm) +

Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic (Perfection Realm)

Gale Knife Technique (Intermediate) +

Light Feather Bow Technique (elementary) +

Available energy: 14 units

“Consume 14 units of energy to advance the Gale Knife Technique to the perfection realm?”

Xu Ning had already mastered an external skill to the perfection realm. According to Qu Dayou, mastering an external skill while between the mortal realm fourth stage and the mortal realm sixth stage could ensure that he would survive when fighting against a higher level opponent.

If he mastered the two external skills, he might be able to compete with a warrior in the mortal realm sixth stage internal qi realm.

And right now, he needed immediate combat power.

“Advance!”

Consume 12 units of energy to advance the Gale Knife Technique?

Yes/No

“Yes!”

This was the first external skill Xu Ning had learned after entering this world, and now he had finally advanced it to the perfection realm.

Xu Ning now had a perfect understanding of the Gale Knife Technique.

Xu Ning had no knife in his hand, but he waved his arm and sliced the air.

Xu Ning could feel the air tearing apart.

This was not an illusion. Xu Ning really felt like he had cut open a vacuum in the air.

‘When I leveled up my Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic, I was able to activate my hardened skin. After leveling up the Gale Knife Technique, I seemed to have improved my perception of air flow, or rather my perception of wind?’

Xu Ning was currently inside his house.

He pushed open the door. It was still night time.

Xu Ning closed his eyes and a trace of wind appeared in his mind.

‘Butterflies…’

Xu Ning said to himself.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a butterfly in the yard nearly ten meters away from him, with its wings flapping silently.

Xu Ning smiled.

His perception of airflow greatly enhanced his sensitivity to wind.

If someone wanted to sneak an attack on him in the future, he definitely would be able to react in advance.

‘This is so practical!’

Xu Ning was overjoyed.

In one night, Xu Ning’s strength had increased by an entire magnitude.

However, although he felt less anxious, the situation was still worrying.

‘I wonder when the rebels in Dingyun County will start a war, and if the Magic Faction is behind them…’

These were all questions he did not know the answer to.

‘The news of the Black Armored Guards rebellion in Dingyun County must have reached Yunying City. I wonder if the higher ups in Yunying City will send troops to help?’

Nothing was clear at the moment.

‘The situation is complicated. I wonder if it will impact the Tao Village?’

Xu Ning was worried about his family.

“Tao Village has gone through wars previously, so they must have a way to survive through wars.”

Xu Ning thought in his heart, ‘It may not be safe to bring my sister and her family to the county. After all, there is still the risk of being affected by the war, and there are also unstable factors from the city’s Magic Faction…’

After contemplating, Xu Ning decided not to bring his family here for now.

If the Tao Village was affected in the future, it would not be too late to rescue them.

“I’ll rest early today…”

The excitement from his promotion had disappeared.

Tomorrow morning, there would be a meeting with all the lieutenants in the county city.

Xu Ning guessed that the topic of the meeting would be the arrangements for the war preparations, or the announcement of the results from the previous interrogation of the Magic Faction warriors.

With that in mind, Xu Ning returned to his room.
