I Really Am Only in the Qi Refining Stage

“I really am only at the Qi Refining stage!” This lie, which has made the entire cultivation world spit up three pints of blood, is the daily catchphrase of Wen Xiubai, the young martial uncle of the Xuantian Sect. On the surface, she’s a frail “newbie at Qi Refining” who can’t fend for herself. In truth, she’s the reincarnation of the Sword Venerable of the Nine Heavens, who fell a thousand years ago. With her Qiw u zither, she can take on Nascent Soul ancestors above her level. Her life motto is: “If pretending to be weak will solve the problem, there’s no need to show what I can really do.” That is, until she meets Ling Yan, the “Lord Wuchang” feared throughout the Three Realms. This silver-haired, blood-eyed, utterly unhinged powerhouse on the level of the Heavenly Dao has always loved two things: 1. Watching the heroine put on a show, and enthusiastically cheering her on. 2. Scattering the ashes of anyone who gives the heroine trouble, then asking if she spread them evenly. When a drama queen meets a lunatic... “Wen Xiubai, every time you lie about being at the Qi Refining stage, it makes me want to expose you even more.” “Ling Yan, every time you ‘happen to pass by’ while I’m fighting, it makes me want to bury you even more.”
