Chapter 61: Three Months Later
Chapter 61: Three Months Later
"So this is the legendary magic power! It is indeed much more profound than the true qi of a martial artist!" Qin Zhixue murmured, a hint of joy on her beautiful face. A martial artist's true qi can also be released, but it is obviously not as easy to control as the magic power of a cultivator.
"Zhixue, Ninth Brother has already extracted a wisp of magical power. How about you?" Tang Yifan came to find Qin Zhixue, feeling rather depressed.
Qin Zhixue remained silent for a moment, then moved her jade hand, and a wisp of Yin energy appeared at her fingertips.
"Oh my god... I don't want to live anymore!" Tang Yifan sighed and immediately went back into the house to continue his meditation, sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
He originally went to Qin Zhixue hoping for some comfort, but instead he was met with a blow.
Upon learning that Qin Zhixue had successfully absorbed Qi, Elder Lu was overjoyed. He even brought a pot of turtle meat, saying that as a beginner in Qi cultivation, one should nourish oneself with demon meat to warm the meridians and prevent the body from being too weak to withstand the sudden surge of condensed magical power.
Not only that, Elder Lu also told them to focus on their cultivation and not to actually do the work of the tenant farmers.
Consider that agreement as something done for the immortal sects to see.
The Lu family sold several sharp-toothed turtles for over sixty low-grade spirit stones.
I've made a fortune, and I'm in a great mood.
Now that he saw Qin Zhixue absorb Qi in just one day, he concluded that this girl was exceptionally talented and had unlimited potential for the future, so he did her a favor.
However, Yang Jiuli and Qin Zhixue would also take some time every few days to accompany Lu Wenzheng to fish in the lake.
In this way, he can at least show his face, and the investigation of his background by the immortal sects will be more accurate and there will be no mistakes.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye.
On the ninth day of studying the "Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique," Tang Yifan finally comprehended the state of oneness with heaven and earth, sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and gathered a wisp of earth spirit energy. He could be considered to have begun to touch the refining of qi and had the aptitude for cultivating immortality.
Upon hearing this news, Lu Bingzhi couldn't help but sigh.
He successfully absorbed the Qi in just nine days.
With such talent, he would be considered a genius even in Daze County.
In fact, Tang Yifan's ability to successfully absorb Qi so quickly was not only due to his talent, but also related to his years of accumulation in martial arts cultivation.
Only when a grandmaster achieves oneness with Heaven and Earth can he perceive the subtle nuances.
Tang Yifan had also been influenced by these things from a young age.
This "Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique" teaches one to focus on one's own essence and perceive the universe, which is somewhat similar to this.
Tang Yifan breathed a sigh of relief upon successfully collecting Qi.
Three people came to the world of cultivation. If he was the only one without spiritual roots and unable to cultivate, how would he survive?
……
Time flies by in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Jiuli and his group had been in Longhu Town for nearly three months.
For the past three months, apart from occasionally going out to fish in the lake, Yang Jiuli, Qin Zhixue, and the other two have spent almost all their time cultivating in the house day and night.
All three knew that in order to pass the selection of the immortal sect, they had to improve their cultivation level.
Even a little more cultivation might change one's fate.
Among the three, Qin Zhixue's cultivation speed was the fastest. In just three months, she had already reached the late stage of the first level of Qi Refining.
Yang Jiuli is next, at the mid-stage of the first level of Qi Refining.
Tang Yifan is at the early stage of Qi Refining Level 1 and is about to reach the middle stage.
However, in terms of the purity of his magical power, he was far inferior to Yang Jiuli.
As for Qin Zhixue...
Her magical powers were also exceptionally pure.
Yang Jiuli secretly guessed that this might be related to Qin Zhixue obtaining a divine opportunity and spiritual root.
This made Qin Zhixue quite looking forward to it.
……
Tianyun Star, Chu State.
It snowed on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
At dawn, Yang Jiuli looked inward into his sea of consciousness.
Identity: Yang Jiuli.
Age: 23/113
Location: Chu Kingdom, Tianyun Star (Level 3 Cultivation Kingdom)
Cultivation level: First level of Qi Refining.
Cultivation Technique: The Azure Emperor's Longevity Formula
Spiritual Root: Superior grade spiritual root. (Damaged, under repair (5028/10000) Cultivable)
……
The first-tier "Past Life Talisman" can be used 3 times.
Three Soul Arrows.
Two "Pure Yang Blazing Flame Talismans".
Two "Taiyin Qi Talismans".
Mental Strength: Level 9 (100/100)
"The spiritual energy in Longhu Town is still too thin!" Yang Jiuli murmured.
Even a slight increase in the level of the spiritual vein will multiply the cultivation speed.
After he cultivated enough Azure Wood magic power, his lifespan increased by five years, which made him full of expectations for the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Manual".
"Fortunately, three months have passed, and the selection of immortal sects is about to begin," Yang Jiuli murmured. "Even if I can't join an immortal sect, joining a Foundation Establishment family would be excellent!" He was very clear about his current situation; he was about to turn 24.
At this age, having only reached the first level of Qi Refining, it's highly unlikely that one will be able to join a celestial sect.
Unless he has a superior spiritual root.
However, there is still some hope for those Foundation Establishment families.
At worst, I can just be an apprentice for now, and then make further plans once I reach the later stages of Qi Refining.
What he needs most right now is a good environment for cultivation.
dong dong!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Fellow Daoist Qin... Fellow Daoist Qin!" came the voice of a young man.
Upon hearing this voice, Yang Jiuli frowned.
"He's here again!" Tang Yifan, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch next to him, also looked disgusted.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, Fellow Daoist Qin!" The voice continued to ring out even before the courtyard gate was opened.
But outside the courtyard, a young man dressed in brocade robes was knocking on the gate with a hopeful expression.
The young man's name was Liu Yuelong. He was the young master of the Liu family on the east bank of Longhu Lake and also Lu Wenzheng's cousin.
Last time, when the Lu family dealt with the Sharp-Toothed Turtle, Liu Yuelong came to inquire about the news and happened to meet Qin Zhixue.
He was immediately awestruck and often found excuses to bother him.
This made Tang Yifan extremely disgusted with this person.
Even Lu Wenzheng had a lot to say about this cousin.
"Go open the door!" Yang Jiuli shook his head and then said to Tang Yifan.
He knew that Liu Yuelong wouldn't leave unless he opened the door.
Tang Yifan had no choice but to get up, push open the door, and open the courtyard gate, but then blocked Liu Yuelong's way, preventing him from entering.
"Haha, greetings, Fellow Daoist Tang!" Liu Yuelong bowed and greeted Tang Yifan as he opened the door, but his gaze was fixed on the courtyard.
"Well? It's so early in the morning, even the birds aren't up catching insects yet, but you're always here!" Tang Yifan said irritably.
"Hehe, isn't this good news!" Liu Yuelong said, "Fellow Daoist Qin?" He looked into the courtyard with a hopeful expression.
"My Zhixue is still cultivating!" Tang Yifan said coldly. "You've disturbed her repeatedly, yet you still expect her to come see you?"
"How could it be multiple times?" Liu Yuelong retorted, blushing. "I only came three, four, five, nine times!"
"Speak quickly if you have something to say, Mr. Tang is about to go back to sleep!" Tang Yifan said irritably.
"Hehe, my elder brother from the family sent word that the selection of immortal sects will be held in seven days..." Liu Yuelong said with a smile.
"The selection of immortal sects..." Tang Yifan's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested. He said, "Fellow Daoist, please come inside and explain in detail."
After saying that, he gestured for Liu Yuelong to come inside.
Liu Yuelong straightened his clothes and strode into the house.
He glanced at Qin Zhixue's room.
"Zhixue, Fellow Daoist Liu has brought news from the Immortal Sect. Would you like to hear it?" Tang Yifan understood and immediately spoke up.
"Okay!" came Qin Zhixue's cool voice from inside the room.
Immediately, the door opened.
Liu Yuelong immediately looked over.
But then Qin Zhixue, dressed in white, walked out of the house.
