Chapter 23 Qi Condensation Stage Fourth Level
Chapter 23 Qi Condensation Stage Fourth Level
Quietly waiting for one hour.
Wang Yu's fingers twitched slightly, and Pill Refining Experience and feelings appeared in his mind, as if he had personally started the furnace to refine pills once, but failed.
This was different from previous feelings, because he had never had any foundation in Pill Refining, and the experience he gained directly was very poor, showing a tendency to become a player who relies on intuition.
"So this is how it feels…"
Muttering to himself, Wang Yu ignored it. He would usually read more books on Medicinal Principles and Medicinal Properties, and he would eventually make up for the lack of foundation.
The mission process had already reached the second half, with two months left. The Spirit Power in Wang Yu's body was almost solidified, and there were still the last three strands of Spirit Power that had not merged.
The final breakthrough time was about the same as previously estimated.
The activity in Dantai Chan's closed-door cultivation room was also getting louder day by day. The temperature near the house was getting higher and higher, and at the same time, bursts of pill fragrance were permeating the air.
The days spent in the Herb Garden were very peaceful, and no one who didn't have eyes dared to come looking for trouble.
In this way, Wang Yu spent the most peaceful period of time.
When the time came to the one hundred and eighty-ninth day.
Wang Yu, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, felt the surrounding air distort for a moment, and Spiritual Qi gathered at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the silence, a "pop" sound seemed to ring out.
His Aura crossed a threshold, and his bones all over his body creaked, as if undergoing a second puberty, completing a small transformation.
The area between his eyebrows itched unbearably, as if invisible tentacles had finally broken through the limitations of the flesh and were able to sense the outside world.
This was a characteristic of Divine Sense leaving the body. Within a radius of about ten feet centered on his body, everything was clearly visible, not much different from what he saw with his naked eyes.
Qi Condensation Stage Fourth Level, achieved!
A hundred strands of Spirit Power transformed into ten more solidified strands of Spirit Power, which were much denser and already had a misty feel. Although the quantity was small, it could crush his previous self.
Most importantly, the Ice Sword Technique and Ice Shield Technique were both Mid Grade Magic Arts, which meant that Wang Yu could finally fully unleash the power of the two Techniques, and his combat power soared.
The aging of his appearance, which was originally brought about by the rapid loss of Lifespan, also recovered with the breakthrough, and there was no longer the previous aged look.
Most of his hair was still white, with only a little black sprouting at the roots. It was estimated that he would have to wait until he broke through to Foundation Establishment before it would completely turn black.
Wang Yu's Mental Sense was very excited.
After all, with his poor Spirit Root Aptitude, reaching the Mid Qi Condensation Stage often took a lifetime to accomplish.
He was only seventeen years old this year, and he still had plenty of time to Cultivation. The Placement Slot was the greatest contributor!
Calming his Mental Sense, Wang Yu tried to activate the Night Concealment Spell.
His Aura instantly returned to Qi Condensation Stage Third Layer without any flaws. The qualitative change in Spirit Power greatly increased its effective duration, reaching three incense sticks, making it usable.
Qi Condensation Stage Fourth Level Cultivation continued to the stage of accumulating Spirit Power.
From ten strands accumulated to three hundred strands, he could break through to Qi Condensation Stage Fifth Layer.
According to the quantity of ten strands merging into one, that would be 2900 strands of Spirit Power. The difficulty of Cultivation had increased by more than several times. According to the efficiency of the Placement Slot, placing only one Cultivation Method would only provide feedback of one strand of Spirit Power every two days.
It would take 5800 days, or more than sixteen years, to complete the Spirit Power accumulation and break through smoothly. This number made Wang Yu's scalp tingle.
The disadvantage of Aptitude was becoming more and more obvious. One Placement Slot was no longer enough. Even with two Placement Slots working together, it would still take more than eight years. Improving Aptitude was imperative.
The Cold Blood Technique had a subtle Effect in this regard, but it would only be manifested when Cultivation reached Perfection.
"That's right, the Placement Slot might have new changes as my Cultivation Level breaks through to Mid Qi Condensation Stage…"
Wang Yu was about to unfold it to take a look when he suddenly sensed Dantai Chan's Aura appearing in the Wind-Passing Hall. He quickly activated the Night Concealment Spell and went to greet her.
Compared to the agreed half a year, she was a few days late.
When they met again, Dantai Chan checked the situation of the Herb Garden before releasing her Aura to summon Wang Yu. Seeing his handsome and fair-skinned appearance, Dantai Chan frowned.
"Wang Yu?"
"It is I, greetings, Senior Dantai."
"Your appearance…"
Wang Yu had already prepared his explanation for this. Feeling the Divine Sense of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator sweep over his body, he cursed inwardly, but remained calm on the surface.
"Wang Yu was born a Spirit Slave, and his Lifespan loss was severe, which is why he aged prematurely in his youth. Fortunately, True Lineage Su promoted me, and I was lucky enough to be promoted to the Outer Sect. In the past half year, with proper conditioning and taking many Spirit Pills to replenish Qi and Blood, I have recovered my original appearance."
Dantai Chan ignored all the explanations and only heard a few words—[True Disciple Su values him!]
Indeed, examples of Spirit Slaves being promoted to the Outer Sect were rare. A special promotion must have other reasons. Dantai Chan dispelled the idea of deducting rewards, and her cold expression suddenly became much kinder.
"But I have never heard you mention your relationship with True Lineage Su."
"Senior Dantai didn't ask, and Wang Yu naturally didn't dare to say more."
"Forget it."
Taking out an Elder Token, she lightly tapped it on Wang Yu's Black Blood Waist Tag, and two hundred Contribution Points were credited to his account. The three hundred belonging to the Ice Snow Tower had already been deducted.
"Thank you, Senior Dantai." Wang Yu bowed and then said, "Wang Yu would like to ask to purchase two Frost Ice Nine Leaf Grasses from the Herb Garden. I wonder if you are willing to sell them, Senior."
Dantai Chan only thought for a moment before agreeing.
"Yes, if you are collecting Spirit Herbs for Pill Refining, you can come to me after you have collected them all. With this seat's Second Rank, Middle Grade Alchemist level, helping you… is more than enough."
Wang Yu could only thank her again. After breaking through his Cultivation Realm, he roughly calculated the time needed to break through to Qi Condensation Stage Fifth Layer. Cold Blood Pills, Spirit Pills that could assist in Cultivation, also became very important.
He didn't dare to entrust the pills that would go into his own stomach to others for refining. This was also one of the reasons why he had to learn the Pill Refining Art!
The Demonic Path environment was too harsh, and vigilance must be at its maximum.
Rubbing his hands together, Wang Yu's expression became hesitant.
"Then, may I ask… what is the price?"
Dantai Chan was silent for a moment.
"Two Frost Ice Nine Leaf Grasses. Because they are relatively rare, the exchange price in the Sect Treasury is one hundred and twenty Contribution Points. How about I charge you one hundred Spirit Stones per plant?"
The value of Spirit Stones was generally considered to be half a level lower than Contribution Points, but this price was very cost-effective, especially since it was the main ingredient of the Cold Blood Pill. The price of auxiliary herbs would be even lower, and Wang Yu nodded repeatedly.
It just so happened that he had made a fortune half a year ago and had not spent any of it except for food. The Spirit Stones Wang Yu gave also contained eighty catties of Spirit Sand, which was very shabby.
After getting what he wanted, he sealed them in a Jade Box.
Preserving Spirit Herbs was also a technical skill. Jade sealing was the most common and cheapest method. Slightly more high-end methods used Talisman Seals, as well as Cauldron Seals, Stone Seals, Wax Seals, and other different techniques.
Some old Pill Masters also had unique skills. Any field of knowledge in the Cultivation World had existed for endless years, and the content derived from it was so vast that one could not learn it all in a lifetime.
Therefore, Cultivators often only specialized in one or two Arts as auxiliary Cultivation.
However, as their Cultivation Realm gradually improved, the scope of their involvement would also become wider. Standing at a high vantage point, it was normal for a Nascent Soul Cultivator to be proficient in the Second Rank and below of the Four Arts.
