Zhang Xian's eyebrows twitched as he felt movement in the backyard. He was wrapped in a blanket and was reading a book. His eyes lit up as he looked behind him. After a long time, he murmured, ”254 days, you've finished reading all the books?”
After a pause, Zhang Xian chuckled and said, ”A young person's abilities must be respected.”
Bai Chen had been studying the books for close to a year. Now that he saw the snowy scene in front of him, he felt like he was in another world.
Over the past year, Bai Chen had been studying all sorts of books every day, and he had managed to put them all together to comprehend. Every single word had its own unique perspective, and after three seasons, he finally understood the meaning of what Zhang Xian had told him.
Qiu Yun did indeed have a great amount of potential to unearth. Furthermore, once it was activated, she would be one of the most talented people in the entire continent.
Qiu Yun's physique looked similar to that of an ordinary person, but the truth was, although Qiu Yun's body did not reveal it, it still far exceeded that of an ordinary person's.
Qiu Yun was now a swordswoman. Although there were some elements that fit well with her elements, there was nothing particularly outstanding about them. Her explosive power was very strong and her movements were delicate. In the eyes of the crowd, her body contained a lot of spirit energy and her endurance was very strong.
In reality, however, that was not the case. What Qiu Yun truly fit in with were not the elements, but rather the cultivators who had thought through their spiritual energy only once in a thousand years.
Historically, people have called Qiu Yun's physique an ethereal body.
An ethereal body had a physique without spiritual energy on the surface, but in reality, it did not require spiritual energy. To make Qiu Yun cultivate better, he didn't even need to channel his spirit into his body. To Qiu Yun, the most important thing was to open up all the meridians in his body, and then he would lose all the spirit energy in his body.
This was Qiu Yun's true ability.
The higher the realm, the more spiritual energy one could make use of in nature. It was as if she was born in the same place as the spiritual energy in nature, becoming one with the world. When her cultivation level was higher, she could even hear the sound of the mountain water and communicate with everything.
It wasn't that Bai Chen hadn't heard of this type of physique before, but there were also sects that would specifically look for people with an ethereal body to become their sect's Holy Lord or Holy Maiden. But Qiu Yun's ethereal body was extremely pure without a single shred of debris.
As for why this kind of physique could not be seen by others, it was because, firstly, not many people understood it, and secondly, because Qiu Yun was a genius in other aspects when she was young, causing her true ethereal form to be concealed. If not for these thousands of books, Bai Chen would not have known about all these.
While lament over Qiu Yun's heaven-defying physique, Bai Chen also felt that Zhang Xian was extraordinary. The books that he had read were definitely more than those books. Otherwise, how could he have picked out so many useful books for Bai Chen?
Of course, after knowing Qiu Yun's physique, Bai Chen was soon faced with an even bigger problem.
Even though Qiu Yun had an ethereal body, he didn't have a suitable martial skill or cultivation method.
In the history, there were many sects that had cultivation methods that could be used on the hollow spirits. They had also given their Holy Masters and Holy Maiden a lot of martial skills, but those martial skills were not worthy of Qiu Yun's heaven-defying physique. If Qiu Yun could only practice such a simple martial skill, then even though Qiu Yun would have a high cultivation base in the future, her combat prowess would not be too high.
Thus, Bai Chen made an even bolder decision very quickly.
He wanted to personally create a cultivation technique and cultivation method for Qiu Yun!
