Chapter 18: Qi Refining Level 7
Jadeite cinnabar, pure white as snow, warm to the touch, with a soft glow in its heart, shaped like clear jadeite, flawless and pure.
It is ranked as a top-tier item and can break through bottlenecks, assisting cultivators in breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
A single pill is worth 1,200 low-grade spirit stones.
It's so expensive it's terrifying.
After buying the pill, Fang Yun left the auction house without hesitation.
They then hurriedly turned back without stopping.
Only after returning to Dan Pavilion Cave did he finally feel completely at ease.
He looked at the jade marrow pill in the bottle and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
The Fang family naturally also possessed such pills, but unfortunately, he couldn't obtain them and only supplied them to the direct descendants of the family.
Otherwise, Fang Yun wouldn't have bothered to squander his entire fortune to participate in the auction and compete with others.
For the next two weeks, Fang Yun canceled all his engagements.
After adjusting my mindset, I began my closed-door training to break through to the next level.
After taking the Jade Marrow Pill, the whole process went very smoothly.
He finally succeeded, breaking through the bottleneck that had confined him for years.
Step into the realm that countless Qi Refining cultivators dream of.
Seventh level of Qi Refining!
Fang Yun sat cross-legged on the futon, and a powerful spiritual pressure emanated from him, surging in like a tidal wave.
Wood grain patterns emerge from the skin's surface, blue light condenses into armor, and purple bamboo shadows dapple and sway.
He just sat there quietly, like a bamboo grove standing tall.
Lush and verdant, brimming with vibrant life.
Experiencing an unprecedented sense of power, Fang Yun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
With the major bottleneck broken, reaching the pinnacle of Qi Refining is only a matter of time.
The foundation-building barrier... is already in sight!
"Next year will be the tenth year. When I see Fairy Qin again, I must inquire whether I can obtain the foundation-building chapter of the Wooden Armor Technique."
Fang Yun stretched, pushed open the stone door, and walked out of the cultivation room.
……
Fang Yun's family had a good New Year during this cold winter month.
After news of his breakthrough spread, he was visited by a constant stream of guests every day, and his doorstep was almost worn down.
Even Niu Ben from Mount Funiu sent a congratulatory gift.
More than a decade has passed, and the dozens of immortal seedlings of yesteryear have completely integrated into Purple Green Lake.
The resources that the Fang family initially promised would only be provided free of charge up to the third level of Qi Refining.
To support their families and continue their spiritual practice, everyone had to find another way out.
The majority were naturally Lingnong tenant farmers and fishermen from the lake.
Several others, like Lu Guishou, chose to join the demon-hunting team.
Over the years, they also got to know some members of the Fang family and became close friends.
Now they've all sent gifts.
Before New Year's Eve, Fang Yun met with his long-lost brother, Brother Lu.
He had previously fought a life-or-death battle with demonic beasts and gained some insights.
He has only just broken through the seclusion of the past few days, and his cultivation level has already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Lu Guishou was truly frugal; aside from the resources necessary for his and his son's cultivation, he never squandered money.
He saved every single spirit stone he earned, one by one.
The intention is self-evident.
The two talked late into the night by candlelight, and as they talked, they came up with the topic of their ten-year reunion with Qin Yao and Lin Dong.
According to the rules, the Qingmu Sect will select its disciples next March.
There are still several months to prepare.
After the Lunar New Year, good news keeps coming one after another.
As Fang Yun's cultivation level broke through, his fire control technique also improved accordingly, successfully creating six hundred flame bamboo leaves.
Then they opened the furnace to refine the pills and successfully produced a batch of Bitter Bamboo Pills!
This elixir has many uses and is in high demand, so there is no worry about finding a market for it.
Without taking a break, Fang Yun refined three furnaces in one go.
The wealth in his storage bag has become substantial once again.
Superior-grade magical artifacts, superior-grade spiritual talismans.
And there's the combat puppet I've always longed for.
Fang Yun was never a miser; he went on a shopping spree and finally made thorough preparations for this ten-year reunion.
The ice and snow melt, and the grass grows and the birds fly.
The time to set off has finally come.
Fang Yun sat cross-legged in his cave, taking a final inventory of the treasures in his storage bag.
The superior defensive magic artifact, the Azure Pearl, gleamed with a brilliant blue light.
It can condense a layer of magical shield to protect the whole body and heal injuries.
The superior-grade Azure Nether Sword has a cold and deep color, and apart from being sharp enough, it has no special effects.
The Fang family of Ziqing Lake is famous for their talisman-drawing skills. Fang Yun got an insider deal and stuffed his hands full of all kinds of talismans and pills.
Finally, there were two puppets with combat power comparable to those in the late stages of Qi Refining.
A golden-feathered eagle and a mountain wolf.
Everything was ridiculously expensive, and because of it, I owed DanGe a huge debt of spirit stones, which I'll have to work hard to pay off in the future.
There was no way around it; even after becoming a seventh-level Qi Refining expert, Fang Yun still felt extremely insecure.
……
Liuyunfang Market is located on a low hill a hundred miles away.
Fang Yun and Lu Guishou waited quietly.
Before long, the caravan from Funiu Mountain emerged from the forest, covered in dust and with yellow sand flying everywhere.
Niu Ben mingled among them, waving to them from a distance, his face beaming with the joy of reunion.
"Fellow Daoist San Niu Zi!"
Fang Yun pretended to smile and gave a traditional Chinese bow.
This guy now has the fourth level of Body Refinement cultivation, and like those refined cultivators, he gave himself a Daoist name.
It was called "San Niu Zi".
"Young Master, please stop teasing me..."
Niu Ben's face flushed slightly. He looked left and right, puzzled, and asked, "Brother Lu, where are our mounts?"
Fang Yun chuckled and took out the golden-feathered eagle battle puppet from his storage bag.
In the sunlight, the golden feathers of the eagle shimmered.
Its feathers seemed to be burning with flames, and its body was as large as a small mountain, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
When the golden eagle spreads its wings, it is a massive four or five zhang long, and its back is as broad as the ground, enough for three people to lie comfortably on.
Not to mention Niu Ben, even Lu Guishou next to him was stunned. He had originally thought it would be a flying boat or something.
The golden eagle puppet spread its wings, and a whirlwind rose beneath its body, carrying them into the sky and disappearing into the heavens.
They flew towards the direction of the State of Chen.
High in the sky, Fang Yun released a talisman to block the oncoming gale.
With nothing else to do, Niu Ben began to tell interesting stories about the other side of Fu Niu Mountain.
Recently, an ancient immortal cave was unearthed deep in Luojiaojian.
It is suspected to be related to a high-level half-demon, which has attracted many independent cultivators to come and investigate.
Even several Foundation Establishment families sent their members to the site, gathering together in an attempt to break the protective formation.
The Niu family also sent two elders, hoping to gain something.
Unfortunately, Luojiaojian is a remote place, quite far from Ziqing Lake.
Fang Yun valued his own life, and although Lu Guishou was interested, he didn't have time to go.
Let's just listen to this story for fun.
The speed of a superior battle puppet is naturally far greater than that of an ordinary mount or spirit beast.
In just half a month, they were able to see their familiar homeland.
Mountains and rivers, fields and plains.
Ordinary people toil like ants, villages gather, and wisps of smoke rise from chimneys, creating a vivid pastoral scene.
Yuzhang Commandery, the city of the commandery.
Fang Yun returned here again.
Ten years have passed, and time has left few marks on them; the three are still young and energetic.
But looking down at the ordinary people and the hustle and bustle of the world, they all gained some new insights.
Five days later, the Qingmu Sect's flying boat arrived as promised.
It was that familiar figure again, beginning the selection of promising young talents.
Fang Yun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
He was somewhat surprised to find that Qin Yao's cultivation level was beyond his expectations; she had actually reached the ninth level of Qi Refining!
