Chapter 159: Xun Weis Investigation (2/2)
Xun Wei tried to concentrate, but she couldn't feel anything at all. She finally opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Fang.
”Fang, are you playing a trick on me?” She pouted.
Xiao Fang smiled.
”Don't be impatient. Concentrate,” he said before covering her eyes.
Xiao Fang began to emit his ordinary qi through his body before giving her a lesson.
”When qi is released it will stay in the area for a few hours before it disappears.”
Suddenly, the qi he was releasing began to change.
”However, when method-specific qi is used, it will remain in the area for more than 24 hours,” he explained.
Xiao Fang slowly released less and less of it.
”Can you still feel it?” He asked.
”Yeah. It feels like my Dual Cultivation qi,” she replied.
”That's because it is. Don't break that focus. Keep concentrating on it.”
Xiao Fang continued to release less of his qi till she couldn't feel it anymore. He then repeated the process over and over again. Like this, she was getting better at detecting the qi around her.
Xiao Fang had trained Xun Wei on how to detect qi for several months. Not just from cultivators, but also from different environments. This was a valuable skill, but it was useless in battle, so no sect wasted any time in teaching it. Xiao Fang had learned this skill unintentionally, and found use in it in various ways.

Xun Wei now stood in front of Yao Wu with her eyes closed as she began to feel her surroundings come to life.
Despite how much guidance Xiao Fang had given her, she was still struggling to feel the lingering qi around her, but that wasn't too surprising since it had been more than 15 hours since the incident occurred.
'I can feel Divine Sword qi. Xiao Fang was definitely here,' Xun Wei thought.
A few seconds later, Xun Wei noticed that the natural qi was much thinner here than it was anywhere else in the Ancestral Training Ground. Finally, she could feel the Illusory qi that was at the center of the crater.
With all the new information she gathered she was able to paint a clearer picture of what happened here.
”They missed,” Xun Wei finally spoke. ”He knew they were following him, so he lured them here where the natural qi is weaker. Using his [ Illusory Clone ] technique, he tricked them into thinking that he was defeated, so when their guard was down, he quickly killed them off before they could react.”
Yao Wu was at a loss for words.
”That's... right,” Yao Wu said in disbelief.
She knew that Xun Wei was a genius, but she still couldn't believe what she was hearing. Yao Wu had brought her here to teach her about detecting qi, but it seemed that she could already do it.
”The person you're looking for is likely someone in the Spirit Core realm and he's registered under an elder,” Xun Wei concluded.
Since news of the first male Phoenix class disciple began to spread, they both knew who suspect was, but it was only now that Xun Wei was realizing that he was the mysterious man known as Long Wang.
”Just when I thought I've seen it all, you find more ways to impress me,” Yao Wu said.
