"Chairman. Please attack me with sword techniques and basic level light techniques. The Level 1 Pagoda Technique only".
"Level 1 huh? I'm sure you can deal with it. So it's not dangerous. All right, are you ready?.
"Ready Chairman".
"Light Blade". Fu Lan took out a small light blade and raised her hand about to slash at Qian Qi.
"Light Lightning. Zzztt...".
"Crack...!". Fu Lan's blade broke into ashes.
"What an attack was Qian Qi. I saw the technique for the first time. Even your father can't do it".
"The technique is called Lightning Eruption. The evolution of the Lightning Strike technique of the Tier 1 Pagoda realm technique".
"Technical evolution? What is Qian Qi?".
"Before that, did the Chairman know why the level of the realm was called the Pagoda?".
"yes too. I've read a lot of books. But I never thought about why it's called Pagoda. I guess figuratively".
"Pagoda is not a figure of speech. Because one's cultivation level was indeed shaped like a Pagoda. The difference is not increased unless it flows. It flows from one point to another in our dantian flow".
"If the first foundation of the Pagoda is not strong then the floor above it will easily collapse. Cultivators rarely practiced the techniques before. Until the foundation is flawed and strange".
"Like a pagoda. The first floor is small, the second floor is large, the third floor is small again and so on is out of balance. Since the Pagoda was unbalanced then the maximum limit was only up to Level 7. If made to Level 8 it will fail continuously".
"Considerate. But how to fix it".
"Before that try the Chairman feel for himself the flow of dantiannya. Try to flow the qi energy throughout the body with all your might. Keep pressing one by one the Chairman's dantian points".
"Hia...". Fu Lan followed Qian Qi's instructions.
Is this why my first dantian flow was so small. The second is getting smaller, the third is quite big, the fourth is small again.
"You said Qian Qi. My dantian is out of balance. Then how do I fix it?".
"For now there is no way to fix it. The only way to destroy everything and wake up again from the beginning".
"Baa... Wake up from the beginning? I'm too old for that".
"No need to worry Chairman. To build a Pagoda again was not too difficult. In a few years his condition will be stronger than before. But if cultivating continued in this room surely the Chief could ascend to the realm of the Tier 8 Early Stage Pagoda within a few months. Thankfully this room has a high qi energy intensity".
"Have you ever done that? destroying your own Pagoda".
"Early Chairman. But my realm back then was still the level 4 Early Stage Pagoda. It took me five years to get to what I am now. Without a room this good".
"But what if my powers don't come back?".
"Must go back, if the Chairman wants to protect his loved ones. The realm of a Tier 7 Pagoda was not enough. The chairman needs to be stronger. Don't think about what the chairman wants, but rather what the chairman wants it for".
"You're right Qian Qi. I must become stronger, to protect the Moon Sword college and my family the Fu sect".
"My husband once said. Happiness is only for brave people".
"Well I'll destroy my Pagodas and build them again from scratch".
"I will accompany the Chairman until I ascend to the realm of the Tier 7 Early Stage Pagoda".
"Thank you Qian Qi".
Fu Lan destroyed his Pagoda. His hands shook because he was afraid. His efforts have been in vain all this time.
But gently Qian Qi gave her some encouragement. A few days passed Qian Qi had already risen to the realm of a Tier 7 Early Stage Pagoda.
Qian Qi could not accompany Fu Lan for long. He had to go back to the Moon Sword school.
Qian Qi still had to collect points to take the ranking exam. But before leaving Qian Qi had to tell Fu Lan important things.
"Chairman, I have to go back to the Moon Sword college. But before that the Chairman should know that ascending Levels from a Tier 7 to an 8 Pagoda is quite different".
"I know it's different. But I know how to handle it".
"Chairman must figure out the unique power that the Chairman possesses. When ascending to the realm of a Level 8 Pagoda the Chairman will have special powers that no one else will be able to learn and possess. For example, Master Pang Tong's White Fire Eye".
"Unique power?".
"If it's a problem I can't help. The chairman has to find out for himself".
"Alright Qian Qi. Thanku".
Qian Qi said goodbye and asked for her identity to be kept secret. Qian Qi returned to the Moon Sword School.
Just outside the gate, Qian Qi was immediately greeted by Yu Na, Zhen Ji, Cai Wenji, Mei Mei, Guan Ping and Kai Yu.
They're all worried. Because Qian Qi did not come out, even though he had reached the 90th floor and above.
Even everything makes no sense. How could Qian Qi and Mei Mei who possessed the realm of a Tier 3 Intermediate Stage Pagoda get to the top floor.
It turned out that Mei Mei who was annoyed at being terrorized by the question, had already confessed that she was in the realm of the Late Stage 6 Level Pagoda and was now ascending to the realm of the Early Stage 7 Level Pagoda. Almost on par with Zhen Ji and Cai Wenji.
Rice has already become porridge. The annoyed Qian Qi was forced to admit that his spirit was the same as Mei Mei. It can last longer as well because it carries supplies.
"Qian Qi. the extent to which you ascended". Cai Wenji was curious.
"Until the highest floor".
"Then did you meet the chairman?".
"Yes Elder Zhen Ji. I met with Chairman Fu Lan".
"Well you're so great Qian Qi. How is the Chairman".
"At first it was quite apprehensive. His body was thin and dry because he had not eaten for years. But after I gave you my supplies, the Chairman was much better".
"Qian Qi's...".
"Easy-after. My granddaughter just came out of the Heavenly Tower. Let him rest first. Come on Qian Qi we're home". Yu Na cut off the conversation.
"I'm sorry to hear about Elder Yu Na. We're overstepping".
"Yes... Come Qian Qi, Mei Mei". Yu Na, Qian Qi and Mei Mei went home.
"What about you guys? It turns out that Qian Qi and Mei Mei are already far above you guys". Zhen Ji heated up Guan Ping and Kai Yu.
"I won't lose". Guan Ping returned to the Moon Blacksmith Division to get ready. He was already round he was going to enter the Heavenly Tower and defeat Qian Qi.
"Chairman. I borrowed some rare plants. I'll pay for it later". Kai Yu did not want to lose.
"Yes... Just take it as you like". Kai Yu is gone.
"C.iii... The longer the more exciting". Zhen Ji laughed cunningly.
"It's not time to laugh at Zhen Ji. We are also defeated by Qian Qi and Mei Mei". It turned out that Cai Wenji was following along upsetly.
"yes too. Then, next I won't lose". Zhen Ji and Cai Wenji left.
