Chapter 43: Breaking Through to the Third Level of Qi Training

At this time, the left wing of the spirit insect was broken, revealing the tender wing beneath.

Though the right wing was uninjured, it didn't have much power when it moved.

Its mouth was small, with tiny sharp teeth visible inside, which appeared to be quite sharp.

However, Fang Yun didn't know if it was poisonous, which was why he was hesitant to grab it directly with his hand.

Looking at the spirit insect in his hand, Fang Yun felt a temptation to enslave it and make it his spiritual pet.

After all, the current realm of this spirit insect was clearly not high, but its defense was impressive; if its realm increased in the future, its defense would be formidable.

However, despite his desire, Fang Yun clearly lacked the means to do so.

Even if he was tempted, there was nothing he could do.

With no other options, Fang Yun thought for a moment and directly dismantled the silk net in his hand.

After all, with a new silk net available, the old one was no longer useful.

He extracted the silk from inside and wrapped all of the insect's legs.

Even after doing this, Fang Yun still felt uneasy.

He then wrapped the insect's body, leaving only its head exposed.

In an instant, the insect was covered in a thick layer of silk.

It was impossible for it to move even a little.

After completing all this, Fang Yun held the spirit insect in his hand and looked toward the direction of the spirit field.

At that moment, he realized that, he didn't know when, but the green beetles had already stopped crashing against the silk net.

Looking around, aside from the green beetles struggling on the ground, there were no other green beetles in sight.

Fang Yun found this scene very strange.

He looked down at the spirit insect in his hand, deep in thought.

The next night, the green beetles still did not appear.

Fang Yun realized it must be due to the spirit insect he had caught.

With the aura of this spirit insect present, the green beetles were too intimidated by its level to dare approach this area.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun looked at the spirit insect in his hand, a joyful expression appearing on his face.

To his surprise, even though he couldn't enslave the spirit insect, it still played a significant role.

Realizing the insect's usefulness, Fang Yun looked at the somewhat listless spirit insect before him.

He began to cherish it even more.

However, when he wanted to take better care of the spirit insect, he didn't know how to feed it.

After all, he had no knowledge about spirit insects at all.

Considering its previous attack on the spirit rice, perhaps the spirit rice should be one of its foods.

But the spirit rice was far too important to Fang Yun.

To be precise, the life energy contained in the spirit rice was crucial for him.

Before the spirit rice matured, he couldn't feed it to the spirit insect.

After thinking for a while, the only thing he could use to nourish the spirit insect was the water from the spirit spring.

So, Fang Yun placed the spirit insect in the waterway he had opened earlier.

Watching as the insect regained some vitality and no longer looked as listless, Fang Yun felt a bit relieved.

As long as it didn't die, that was good enough.

With the spirit insect around, Fang Yun was no longer troubled by the green beetles.

However, to prevent any other unforeseen events, he didn't remove the silk net.

After about ten days, all the spirit rice was ready for harvest.

When Fang Yun sensed that the spirit rice had matured, he couldn't suppress his excitement.

He picked up the sickle in his hand, removed the silk net, and rushed into the spirit field.

After spending two hours, he successfully harvested all 320 stalks of spirit rice.

He placed them on the stones in front of the cave and eagerly opened the panel.

Cultivation Level: Second Level of Qi Training

Magic Power: 38

Life Energy: 346.016

Spells: Ground Strength Technique (Proficient 51%) Spirit Rain Technique (Proficient 53%) Growth Technique (Beginner 90%)

Plant Control: Vines (5)

Skimming over the other data, he saw an increase of 320 points in life energy.

The excitement in Fang Yun's heart was overwhelming.

During this period, thanks to the spirit insect, he hadn't been disturbed by the green beetles, and his rest hadn't been a significant issue.

Now was the time when he was most energetic.

Thus, he didn't bother with further cultivation.

He directly went to the spirit spring, ready to break through to the third level of Qi Training.

The magic power in his dantian whirled madly and gently reached toward the cluster of life energy beside him.

The life energy naturally fused with his magic power.

With no effort at all, Fang Yun's magic power expanded rapidly, circulating crazily through his meridians and flushing out impurities from his body.

Before long, as Fang Yun's body trembled violently, a glow flashed across his face.

A powerful aura briefly enveloped him.

The immense pressure surged outward, sweeping across the surroundings.

After a while, Fang Yun gradually calmed his internal magic power.

He looked at the panel again.

Cultivation Level: Third Level of Qi Training

Magic Power: 66

Life Energy: 260

Spells: Ground Strength Technique (Proficient 51%) Spirit Rain Technique (Proficient 53%) Growth Technique (Beginner 90%)

Plant Control: Vines (5)

His cultivation had broken through to the third level of Qi Training, and his magic power had doubled.

The consumption of life energy was not too significant.

Overall, Fang Yun's efforts during this time had finally yielded rich rewards.

Feeling the more robust magic power in his dantian, he let it slowly rotate through his meridians, flowing through every part of his body.

He sensed that under the nourishment of the magic power, his body began to grow stronger.

Fang Yun's sense of satisfaction and accomplishment peaked.

After a long time, he gradually calmed the excitement in his heart.

Compared to the cultivators of the Fang family, he was indeed standing at the pinnacle among them.

However, not to mention the entire cultivation world, even among the cultivators at the Qi Training stage, he was still at the bottom tier.

Moreover, even with the third level of Qi Training, he lacked the corresponding means of protection.

One could say that his third level of Qi Training was the weakest among them.

Thinking of this, the pride that had just risen in Fang Yun's heart was instantly crushed.

It seemed that even after breaking through, there were still many things to address.

Furthermore, breaking through to the third level of Qi Training meant that the next breakthrough would require even more life energy.

Fang Yun didn't know if the remaining life energy he had was sufficient.

If it wasn't enough, he could plant another batch of spirit rice, along with ordinary crops, to see if he could break through to the fourth level of Qi Training.

All of this was uncertain.

If that didn't work, he would have to leave Spirit Water Island to search for more places rich in spirit energy.

For Fang Yun, leaving Spirit Water Island was not something he wanted to do at the moment.

As he had just thought, with his cultivation at the third level of Qi Training, he was merely at the bottom tier among cultivators at this stage.

Leaving the island carried significant risks.

Unless absolutely necessary, Fang Yun hoped to develop for a while longer before making any decisions.

He then spent a few days consolidating his cultivation before finally leaving the cave.
