Chapter 42 Late Stage of Qi Refining
Within half a month, the Black Yuan Pill and the Breakthrough Pill were used up. Suddenly, a strong spiritual energy fluctuation occurred in the cave on Crimson Jade Island, causing fallen leaves and rolling rocks to shake the island.
Fortunately, the Golden Sound Trapping Immortal Formation protected the island, preventing the tremors from spreading beyond it.
Dongfuzhong.
Fang Qi opened his eyes with a look of joy, his body enveloped in spiritual energy that coiled around him like a serpent.
"Late stage of Qi Refining, done!"
Within the dantian, the three square-inch spiritual fields of metal, earth, and water had turned pitch black. Beneath the black spiritual soil lay three seeds, which constituted the dantian of the seventh level of Qi Refining.
When a seed breaks through the soil, it has eight layers; when it sprouts, it has nine layers!
"Thanks to the Black Yuan Pill..."
Fang Qi activated the "Five Qi and Five Elements Profound Treasure Scripture," and his spiritual power instantly receded and disappeared. However, thinking about his breakthrough in the past half month, he couldn't help but feel lingering fear.
He underestimated the power of a third-grade foundation-building technique.
The Five Elements Breathing Method I practiced before was just a common one, and the spiritual energy I condensed was ordinary. However, the Five Qi and Five Elements Profound Treasure Scripture is a top-grade foundation-building treasure scripture. Breaking through the realm is not easy, and the spiritual energy required is astonishingly high.
Fang Qi turned the Spirit Gathering Array to its maximum power, consuming dozens of spirit stones every day, but he still couldn't satisfy his needs for this sutra. If it weren't for the Black Yuan Pill and the Breakthrough Pill, he probably would have failed to break through.
This is a cognitive limitation; the mindset hasn't shifted from the old "small-farmer" mentality.
"Next time I break through to a higher realm, I must prepare more elixirs and treasures."
Fang Qi secretly warned himself.
On the path of cultivation, one must not take anything lightly.
After calming himself down, he took out the Jing Shun Yuan Ming Qi.
Now that I have broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, I can attempt to spiritualize this Qi.
Spiritual energy overflowed from the fingertips, enveloping the Qi. The Five Qi Scriptures circulated, and spiritual transformation began.
Strands of spiritual energy intertwined with the tranquil and primordial Qi, causing the cave to instantly shimmer with spiritual light.
The so-called spiritualization is essentially about giving birth to spirituality in the Qi of the five internal organs. This spirituality is the key to the foundation of immortality and spiritual objects.
Spiritualization is not something that can be achieved overnight. According to the "Five Qi and Five Elements Profound Treasure Scripture", the best method of spiritualization is to spiritualize the five Qi at the same time. Spiritualization of a single Qi can only be done in the initial stage.
For someone like Fang Qi, who has just entered the seventh level of Qi Refining, it would probably take two or three months to achieve this.
But only half a day later, he withdrew from the method and resealed the initially spiritualized Jing Shun Yuan Ming Qi back into the jade bottle.
"wrong..."
He looked at the jade bottle with a somber expression.
Normally, after half a day of spiritual transformation, this wisp of Jing Shun Yuan Ming Qi would give birth to a trace of spirituality. But in reality, let alone spirituality, even its spiritual power only remained on the surface of Jing Shun Yuan Ming Qi and had not truly merged into it.
"The methods and timeframes for spiritual transformation in the *Five Qi and Five Elements Profound Treasure Scripture* refer to the Qi of the five internal organs cultivated by one's own body. The Qi of the five internal organs obtained from another person requires even more time!"
Fang Qi pondered for a while and roughly guessed the reason.
Fortunately, he has only just broken through to the later stage, and he only has one of the five Qi, so there is no need to be too anxious for now.
After receiving the precious scripture and the Jing Shun Yuan Ming Qi, Fang Qi first fed the fish and then left Chi Yu Island.
......
The brothel remained as bustling as ever, with the female cultivators and bodhisattvas becoming increasingly daring in their methods of attracting customers.
As soon as Fang Qi entered the door, two beautiful women with bare shoulders embraced him on either side.
If it were Hong Feng, he would definitely use both hands to grope her a few times to satisfy his urge, but Fang Qi had no such mood at all. He shook off the two female cultivators and went up to the second floor.
Unfortunately, they ran into a male cultivator.
Upon closer inspection, Fang Qi felt a chill run down his spine.
"Oh my... isn't this Junior Brother Fang...?"
Ning Yanzu, no, Fairy Yan, heavily made up, with her chest exposed, looked at Fang Qi with a smile.
She has now fully mastered the Dragon Yang Secret Technique, changing her gender. As a result, she was rewarded by Steward Wang Feng with a Hehuan Secret Technique. With the dual cultivation techniques and the triple blessing of Fengyue Tower, her cultivation level has now reached the fifth level of Qi Refining!
So the moment she saw Fang Qi, she deliberately released her cultivation level to show off.
But in an instant, her arched eyebrows suddenly lifted, and her eyes widened.
"you..."
She sensed the aura of a late-stage Qi Refining expert in Fang Qi!
In an instant, Fairy Yan's chest heaved violently, causing the guests on both sides to feel their hearts surge with excitement, yet no one dared to approach.
Fang Qi's aura was terrifying; who would dare to provoke him at this moment?
"Senior Brother Fang, it's been a long time!"
Fairy Yan, having spent so much time in the brothel, quickly calmed down and then flirted with Fang Qi, casting all sorts of seductive glances and flirtatious looks.
In Fang Qi's eyes, it was the demon Ning Yanzu who was disgusting people, so he flashed away, shook off the man, and entered the side room not far from the stairwell.
Inside the room, Xu Xingzhi and Hong Feng were enjoying themselves with several female fairies when Fang Qi arrived, and their expressions changed instantly.
"Junior Brother Fang, you...have broken through?" Xu Xingzhi drove the female cultivators away.
"Hmm." Fang Qi nodded and took out a storage bag containing the Blood Pill.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Fang." Xu Xingzhi was shocked, but his hands moved quickly, and he confidently took out a storage bag containing spirit stones.
This time, he specially asked several senior brothers to raise an extra sum of spirit stones, and he would never do what he did last time, using secret methods to exchange for them and losing his status for nothing.
But when he scanned the storage bag containing the blood pill with his spiritual sense, he was completely dumbfounded.
He originally thought that the thirty blood pills last time were the limit, but today, there are a full sixty in this storage bag!
Three of them were of superior quality, and the spirit stones he had raised were far from enough.
"Junior Brother Fang, did you discover the ruins of some Beast Taming Sect?" Xu Xingzhi's lips twitched.
No spirit beast nest could possibly produce so many blood pills continuously; only ruins could possibly produce so many blood pills.
"Senior Brother Xu, we agreed that I would provide the Blood Pills and you could purchase them with spirit stones, without asking where they came from."
Fang Qi now possesses the seventh level of Qi Refining cultivation, coupled with the double blue bars of [Same Path, Same Return] and other techniques such as the Golden Ring Sword Formation, giving him much more confidence.
Xu Xingzhi knew that asking about the source was a big taboo, and seeing that Fang Qi did not answer, he smiled awkwardly to cover up his embarrassment.
The more I laughed, the more awkward it became.
Three high-grade pills, thirty mid-grade pills, and sixty blood pills—even if he emptied his storage bag, he still couldn't buy them all!
However, he must acquire this batch of Blood Pills, especially the three high-grade ones.
"The Azure Frost Phoenix Ant has been at the eighth level for quite some time. If it obtains these three high-grade Blood Pills, it will surely advance to the ninth level. With three of the five great Immortal Foundation Beasts, it can take another step closer to the Immortal Foundation stage..."
Xu Xingzhi's cultivation technique is the "Five Elements Blood Beast Foundation Building Divine Method," which requires raising five blood beasts. He has already raised two of them to the ninth level, and the Azure Frost Phoenix Ant is the third one, which needs a high-grade blood pill.
"With the three level-nine blood beasts and my own cultivation, we are more than capable of vying for the true inheritance!"
The True Inheritance is the title of the true prodigy of the Dongxi Sect, and the competition is held once every ten years. Those who obtain this position not only enjoy supreme status, but also receive Foundation Establishment spiritual items and even Foundation Establishment Pills. It is the goal of almost all late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
Xu Xingzhi was no exception. He cultivated the "Five Elements Blood Beast Foundation Building Divine Method" for two reasons: first, he valued the method's ability to build a foundation, and second, he appreciated the direct increase in combat power that the method could bring by raising blood beasts.
After a great internal struggle, he finally made a decision.
"Junior Brother Fang, the number of Blood Pills you brought this time is truly unexpected..."
Xu Xingzhi pushed the storage bag containing spirit stones to Fang Qi's side, then took out a roll of animal hide and said with a smile, "Senior brother, I didn't bring enough spirit stones, so I'll use this as a substitute."
