Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 103 - 83: Qi Refining Perfection! The Sect Leader’s Shock!

When Qi Chuan swallowed the Barrier-Breaking Pill, he immediately felt it melt upon entering, transforming into a concentrated medicinal power that spread from his abdomen to his entire body.

Noticing this, Qi Chuan immediately activated the Evergreen Technique, and mana surged from his Dantian, enveloping the medicinal power of the Barrier-Breaking Pill and circulating through his meridians.

The medicinal power of this Barrier-Breaking Pill was exceptionally gentle, easily refined into extremely pure mana.

However, due to the primary material, this pill is extremely rare, more precious than most Tier Two Elixirs. It was only because the Wind Moon Sect Leader Situ Jiang had extraordinary status and strength that he obtained such a pill.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot acquire this pill.

Moreover, this pill can only be taken during the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, imposing considerable conditions.

But its effects are astounding; once taken, there is a fifty percent chance of greatly enhancing a cultivator’s mana, allowing them to advance to the Qi Refining Tenth Layer. For Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivators, it is considered a Divine Pill.

For Qi Chuan, this pill holds even greater significance.

Because Qi Chuan possesses the Hundredfold Critical Strike ability, once triggered, the probability becomes even higher, possibly reaching one hundred percent.

Whoosh...

Within the meridians, mana surged, eventually returning like swallows to a nest, back to the Dantian.

With Spiritual Sense, one could see the mana in Qi Chuan’s Dantian increasing at a noticeable rate, with the "Mana Lake" evolving toward a Magical Power Lake.

In this manner, a day and night quickly passed.

When daybreak appeared on the horizon, Qi Chuan, sitting cross-legged on his bed, slightly moved his eyelids and slowly opened his eyes.

At that moment, refined Spiritual Light shot from his eyes, making it hard to look directly at him.

[You swallowed the Barrier-Breaking Pill, worked tirelessly for a day and a night, persistently refining the pill’s medicinal power. You triggered a Hundredfold Critical Strike and received a hundredfold reward. You flawlessly refined the pill’s medicinal power and achieved a massive mana enhancement without side effects, advancing to the Qi Refining Tenth Layer.]

In his vision, a line of text appeared.

At the same time, without using Spiritual Sense for introspection, Qi Chuan could already continually sense the immense mana within his Dantian.

This mana, compared to the peak of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, had increased by about sixty percent. Compared to previous breakthroughs, it marked the largest increase in mana within the Qi Refining Realm, naturally leading to the greatest strength enhancement.

Moreover, the Qi Refining Tenth Layer, also known as Qi Refining Perfection, once achieved, brings the mana close to the limit of the Qi Refining Realm, incapable of further increase.

At this point, one could begin to prepare for advancing to the Great Foundation Establishment Realm.

Though reaching the Qi Refining Tenth Layer allows for attempting Foundation Establishment, any cultivator at that stage approaches with great caution.

The reason is simple: the failure rate is too high.

Once a breakthrough fails, it can lead to mana damage in lesser cases or cultivation regression and severe damage to the meridians and Dantian in worse cases, as countless examples demonstrate.

Therefore, after advancing to the Qi Refining Tenth Layer, even if mana cannot progress further, many cultivators continue to hone their mana. However, honing the mana also involves honing the mindset, believing a better mindset slightly increases the breakthrough probability.

Despite being somewhat mystical, nearly all cultivators do not skip this step.

Additionally, some, having achieved the Qi Refining Tenth Layer at a young age, may start cultivating Body Cultivation Techniques to enhance their physical body and strengthen their Qi and Blood.

In this way, facing one of the three major barriers of Foundation Establishment, the Qi Blood Barrier, the obstacles will be reduced, slightly increasing the chances of successful establishment.

Typically, cultivators, if time permits, will attempt Body Cultivation, even if the improvement to the physical body isn’t significant.

But Qi Chuan is different. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

His physical body had already reached the limit of a Tier One Body Cultivator, with exceedingly robust Qi and Blood.

With such a physical body, the Physical Body Barrier, one of the three major hurdles in Foundation Establishment, is like a paper-thin window that breaks with a poke, bringing him no worry.

"It’s the Divine Soul; let’s try next to see if I can refine the Divine Sense..."

Qi Chuan thought to himself.

Previously, his Divine Soul strength had already surpassed the state that ordinary Qi Refining Perfection could not compare. After a year and eight months of cultivation, his Divine Soul continuously improved, but it ultimately did not give birth to the Divine Sense.

After all, Divine Sense is a Foundation Establishment technique with various miraculous uses incomparable to Spiritual Sense. Attempting to cultivate Divine Sense in the Qi Refining Realm is still too challenging.

However, Qi Chuan felt he wasn’t far from cultivating Divine Sense.

After all, over the past year and eight months, the critical strikes triggered while cultivating the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method had been quite high, indicating significant enhancements to the Divine Soul.

With continued cultivation, a quantitative change should eventually lead to a qualitative transformation, resulting in the birth of the Divine Sense.

Without hesitation, Qi Chuan closed his eyes, and darkness enveloped his vision.

Then, as Qi Chuan’s mind moved slightly, a light appeared within the darkness. The light swiftly approached, emitting an attraction force that absorbed Qi Chuan’s Divine Soul.

As Qi Chuan’s Divine Soul entered the light, he immediately sensed drastic changes around him, transforming into an ancient, boundless domain resembling a primordial world. His Divine Soul also transformed into a mysterious willow tree, half of its trunk charred, standing on a lofty mountain.
