I Can Give Talent

Chapter 59 – Leyvi’s Advancement

After he went all out to coax and apologize to Valenia, she finally stopped crying. Leyvi suddenly felt that having a harem was quite tiring. All these ladies have different personalities it was hard for him to predict. Like this time, he didn't expect Valenia to cry, the tomboyish red-haired girl who always swung a broadsword around.

After they made up, Leyvi and Valenia continued the training.

"Val, attack me!" Leyvi instructed.

Valenia immediately ran forward holding the broadsword and slashed diagonally upward at Leyvi.

However, Leyvi casually stopped her sword with his bare hand.

"The Sword Intent emitted by you is fierce, but it's useless if you can't use it properly. There's no difference between this attack and your usual attack. Try directing your Sword Intent to your broadsword, instead of unleashing them aimlessly from your body." Leyvi advised.

If it was a normal cultivator, they would have been injured already being near Valenia's Sword Intent, but unfortunately, she was fighting Leyvi right now, all the sharp aura coming from her only felt like someone poking many blunt needles at him.

Valenia listened to Leyvi and closed her eyes. She was trying to figure out how to shift the Sword Intent to her sword. At first, she couldn't do it. Some kind of barrier was blocking her from doing that. Why does this barrier include her clothes but not her weapon?

After thinking for a while she found her answer. The barrier was her mentality. The reason the barrier included her clothes was because she recognized the clothes she wore every day as part of her body while it was not the same for her broadsword. 

When Valenia adjusted her mentality and thought of her broadsword as an extension of her, the barrier disappeared.

"The sword is a part of me"

Instantly, the fierce sharp aura around Valenia's body all appeared on the broadsword. A sword aura could be seen manifesting around her broadsword making it appear bigger.

"This!" Leyvi could feel the fearsome aura emitted by the sword. He knew he couldn't block her attack casually anymore.

"Leyvi! Get ready, I'm going to attack!" Valenia cautioned Leyvi.

"Come!" Leyvi made his protective Qi as thick as possible to receive her attack.

Valenia once again charged at Leyvi and used the same attack pattern. The difference this time was her broadsword exuded a fierce aura capable of cutting anything.

SPLURT!

The sound of gushing blood was heard the moment Leyvi's hand stopped the broadsword. His thick protective Qi was sliced like nothing and it even cut through Leyvi's steel-like skin. The slash was only stopped after it cut through half of Leyvi's bone.

Once again, looking at the blood dripping from his hand, Leyvi felt that had overestimated himself by thinking he was invincible in the same realm. Leyvi was relieved that he figured this out before he underestimated someone in a real battle and suffered from it.

Cultivators who had gained insight into the Dao were definitely not someone who could be underestimated at all. Their power grows exponentially. It could be seen from how Anda was able to kill the peak-stage Foundation Building masked leader easily using her Fire Concept.

He was confident that there were more cultivators out there who had achieved the same feat as Anda and Valenia.

"Leyvi! What are you doing? Quick consume the elixir!" Valenia had been calling Leyvi a few times but he was lost in thought.

By the time Leyvi heard Valenia's voice, Valenia had already pulled out her broadsword from his hand but he could still feel the fierce sharp aura rampaging in his hand.

Leyvi consumed a Minor Healing Elixir but shockingly the wound wouldn't heal. Valenia saw this and she instantly panicked. 

Leyvi tried again but this time using the Medium Healing Elixir. The result was still the same. It couldn't heal his wound. While Valenia was increasingly panicked, Leyvi was amazed by this situation.

The remnant aura in his hand could actually prevent the healing process and it constantly tries to injure him more. This reminded Leyvi of the sword aura remnant that still plagued the former site of the Mystical Array Valley where no new life could appear.

"Leyvi! I'll call for madam now!" Valenia can't stay still anymore. She was worried about Leyvi. Previously she didn't care much if she hurt Leyvi because he could heal easily but now it doesn't seem like he could.

"Val, calm down. Sit here." Leyvi said calmly, pointing next to him.

"But-" She was about to say something but saw Leyvi gesture again. So she sat beside him.

Leyvi focused and activated his Fiery Trailblazer aura around his hand and concentrated it on the remnant sword aura. It slowly attacked the remnant sword aura and completely extinguished it after a few minutes.

Leyvi drank the Minor Healing Elixir again and without surprise, his hand was completely healed.

Leyvi smiled and said to Valenia. "See that? Do you understand?"

"See what? Understand what" Valenia was confused.

"Next time you accidentally injure someone, remove the sword aura first before healing them. Why were you like a headless chicken just now?" Leyvi started teasing her again.

"Hmph! You are the chicken!" She retorted but inwardly, she took note of what Leyvi said.

"Val, you need to remember this. Your attack power just now was high enough that it could injure a Core Formation expert, so you better be careful when using it. I don't think you want to kill innocent people accidentally." Leyvi was serious this time.

Valenia knew that this was serious so she nodded multiple times.

"Good girl. After you master your sword control, you'll be a qualified Alchemist Knight for Anda." Leyvi praised her for the first time.

Something awoke inside Valenia when Leyvi praised her for the first time after countless teasing. It felt nice and refreshing. She wanted to be praised more.

"Call me that again." Valenia requested. Her eyes were sparkling.

"Huh?" Leyvi raised his eyebrow. What's wrong with this girl now?

"Call me that again!" She repeated.

"Call what? Alchemic Knight?" Leyvi was confused.

"No! Before that!" Valenia clarified.

"Good girl?" Leyvi tried again.

"Yes! Hehe, I'm a good girl~" Valenia was excited again.

"....." Leyvi was speechless. You are a grown woman, why are you acting like a little girl?

After this training with Valenia, Leyvi felt that it was time for him to focus on cultivating. He accompanied Anda for a night and returned to his room with a huge amount of spirit stones.

At first, Leyvi was worried that it would take him a long time to reach the middle stage of the Foundation Building realm because the size of his liquid Qi was way bigger than other people.

However, that problem was solved. He only needs to be rich and he did. Now he has a continuous supply of spirit stones and a formation that increases the density of spiritual energy in his room. It was the best cultivation environment he ever had. With the spirit stones and the spiritual energy density in the room, even someone with the poorest cultivation aptitude could cultivate very fast.

Leyvi sat in a meditative position in the middle of the cultivation area. His hands were on his knees holding a spirit stone on each hand. Leyvi were absorbing the Qi contained in the spirit stones at a high rate. Every time the spirit stones in his hand were completely used, they would disappear because the spirit stone itself was the spiritual energy that crystallized. 

After Leyvi completely absorbed one, another spirit stone would appear in his hand and the process continued. If Leyvi were to cultivate by only absorbing the spiritual energy in the normal surroundings, it would take him three days to reach the amount of Qi he could get from a spirit stone. The difference was so big it was better to use that time to work and earn spirit stones rather than waste a lot of time absorbing spiritual energy from the surroundings. 

However, there was always an exception. If one were to enter a place with an extremely high density of spiritual energy, the absorption rate might be faster than using a spirit stone. A place like this was either already occupied by the strong or was naturally well hidden. Usually, only those with incredible luck would be able to find a place like this.

....................

Time passed quickly.

A few months passed and it was now two months away from the date of the Alchemy Conference which meant that it was time for the Leyan Family to depart. 

Leyvi had successfully become a middle-stage Foundation Building realm cultivator a few days prior, just in time for the Alchemy Conference. Although he wasn't the one participating, he would be his wife's number one supporter. He was excited to be on an adventure again. Cultivating for a long time was really boring to him.

Leyvi had decided that everyone would travel together and cheer for Anda, including the kids, the maids, his spirit beasts, Layla, and Bana, the gatekeeper. It's time for Mr. Bison to pull the carriage again after lazing around for months.
