Chapter 4 – Breaking through the Ninth Level of Qi Refining

Chapter 4 Breaking through the ninth level of Qi Refining
Don’t look at that self reserved 10% harvest as if it was very little.

But in reality, this practice of the Qian Yang Sect was already considered very generous.

Many sects such as the Qian Yang Sect at this level would not allow you to keep anything for yourself at all.

At most, they would give you some spirit stones, or some basic pills.

Besides, with the Qian Yang Sect’s influence in this Qian Yang Mountain Range, if they are determined to forcibly recruit you without giving you the slightest payment, what can you do?
Not to mention that according to today’s news, there are already Qi Refining Stage cultivators who have successfully exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill from the Qian Yang Sect by utilizing the treasures they obtained from that relic.

What kind of concept is this?
Wasn’t the reason why they, the scattered cultivators at the bottom of the Qi Refining Stage, fought to the death for the ultimate purpose of that tiny sliver of possible Foundation Establishment hope?
So.

At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Xu Haichuan were really sparing no effort in trying to persuade Jiang Chengxuan, wanting him to join the two of them and head to that one relic to explore.

However, all of this was simply not the slightest bit attractive to Jiang Chengxuan.

Right now, he had already obtained the opportunity to successfully break through the barrier from the system.

As long as his cultivation broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment would be the nail in the coffin.

Why would he need to risk so much to go to that so-called relic to fight to the death?

Besides, in Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes, no matter how tempting that relic was, they, the lowest level Qi Refining Stage casual cultivators, would not be able to leave the fate of cannon fodder.

Even if you really had heavenly fortune and obtained some extraordinary treasure inside that relic, in the end, that treasure might not have a destiny with you.

The Qian Yang Sect would never let the real treasures in the relics fall into the hands of these bottom level loose cultivators.

A bad, for this to lead to the trouble of killing, that is a very likely thing.

So.

At this moment, no matter how much Xu Haichuan couple said, Jiang Chengxuan’s side is not moving.

Unable to do anything about it, the two Mr. and Mrs. Xu Haichuan could only take their leave with regret.

“Brother Xu, this Jiang Chengxuan is greasy, how can he refuse to explore that relic with us, what should we do now?”

Arriving outside Jiang Chengxuan’s cave, Mei Hongyan couldn’t help but turn her head to look at her husband Xu Haichuan and said with a slightly unhappy expression.

Xu Haichuan sighed somewhat helplessly and shook his head.

“Since Jiang Daoyou he refuses to join us, let’s forget about it.

But to take over, we’ll have to try to find another person.

After all, going to that relic, if it’s just you and me, there are still a bit too few people.”

As the couple spoke, they were already walking towards another direction of this workshop.

This side.

After Jiang Chengxuan sent off Mr. and Mrs. Xu Haichuan, a system prompt suddenly came from his mind.

[Ding! Releasing the next achievement task, requesting the host to complete the Hundred Power Transportation Achievement]

[Note: For this achievement, do not count the number of previous power transports]

That’s right.

With his hundred years of Immortal Cultivation, if he counted the number of times he had transported power in the past, not to mention a hundred times, even if it was two hundred times, three hundred times it was more than that.

The system obviously wouldn’t make such an obvious mistake.

But then again, the task released by the system nowadays was exactly in line with his current needs.

He could just as well take this opportunity to do some closed-door cultivation.

Striving to raise his cultivation level to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

However, before that, he still needed to make some preparations and purchase a pill for himself to break through the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Tong Yun Pavilion.

This was considered to be one of the largest stores in the Qianyang Marketplace that sold pills and magic weapons.

Behind it stood, it was said to be the Qianyang Sect.

Although the prices of the things sold here were not cheap, due to its complete variety and excellent quality, many clan cultivators, as well as casual cultivators, still liked to come here to buy things.

When Jiang Chengxuan came here, he realized that there were especially many people in this Tongyun Pavilion today.

After a cursory scan, he realized that most of the people who came here today were casual cultivators just like him.

After a little thought, Jiang Chengxuan roughly understood what was going on.

It was thought that it should be related to that relic.

Everyone should be thinking of acquiring some life-preserving props for themselves as much as possible before entering that relic to explore.

“This fellow Daoist, may I ask if you’ve come to our Tongyun Pavilion because you also want to purchase magic weapons or talismans?”

At this moment, a sweet-looking female cultivator with a cultivation level around the fifth level of Qi Refining suddenly came to Jiang Chengxuan’s side.

Looking at the clothing she wore, she was clearly someone from this Tong Yun Pavilion.

Jiang Chengxuan shook his head, then he told this female cultivator about his own needs.

When the female cultivator heard this, she immediately brought him to the area where pills were sold, and then took out a jade bottle from inside, smilingly handing it to Jiang Chengxuan:

“Fellow Daoist, this is the Clear Spirit Pill you need, it can help cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining break through their cultivation, it’s a total of one hundred spirit stones.”

Jiang Chengxuan took the jade bottle and opened it to look at it slightly.

Discovering that the quality of this Spirit Cleansing Pill was indeed good, it could be considered a top grade.

Over the years, Jiang Chengxuan had saved up some family money.

Although it wasn’t a lot, spending a hundred spirit stones to purchase a Spirit Cleansing Pill was still not too much of a problem.

Soon Jiang Chengxuan finished paying the spirit stones.

When he returned to the cave he was living in now, he began this retreat.

Going from the eighth level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining was actually a process of accumulation and polishing.

As long as the true essence in your body had accumulated to a certain amount, you could attempt to launch an attack on the bottleneck of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Polishing, on the other hand, was able to make your true essence more condensed.

Only, if you wanted to accumulate and polish the true essence in your body to the point where it was enough to impact the bottleneck of the ninth level of Qi Refining, the time it would take was not short.

Under normal circumstances, a cultivator of the eighth level of Qi Refining with three spirit roots would need to spend a total of around eight to fifteen years.

And for someone like Jiang Chengxuan, who had the qualifications of a five-system miscellaneous spirit root, it would undoubtedly take even longer.

Fortunately, Jiang Chengxuan had already stayed in this realm for a long time.

The accumulation was basically enough.

If it was coupled with an elixir like the Clear Spirit Pill that could help late stage Qi Refining cultivators break through the realm.

Even if there was only one, Jiang Chengxuan had more than 90% certainty that he would be able to break through.

Soon.

Jiang Chengxuan had already adjusted himself to an optimal state.

By the time he took the Clear Spirit Pill he had bought, the amount of true essence in his body skyrocketed.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan rushed to run the Return to Origin Skill that he practiced, starting the circumferential cycle over and over again.

In this way, after more than half a month, Jiang Chengxuan, who was immersed in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes.

The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but spread a smile.

Ninth level of Qi Refining, finally accomplished.

At this moment, the amount of true essence in his body was nearly forty percent more than before.

The strength had even increased quite significantly.

At that moment, he looked at the numbers in front of his retina.

[Progress of Hundred Runs of Power: 15%]
