Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 64 - 63: Qi Refining Sixth Layer, Crystal Bone Realm Limit

Chapter 64: Chapter 63: Qi Refining Sixth Layer, Crystal Bone Realm Limit

When Qi Chuan returned to his Tier One Upper Grade Cave Mansion from the Pill Pavilion, he had a few large Spirit Grass packages and several Gathering Essence Pills on him, enough for temporary use.

Back in his cave mansion, Qi Chuan first brewed the Spirit Medicine Water for a medicinal bath, allowing his physical body to slowly advance from the initial state of the Crystal Bone Realm toward its ultimate perfection.

After the bath, Qi Chuan returned to the stone chamber that uniquely possessed a Tier One Upper Grade Spiritual Vein Level, sitting cross-legged on the bed inside.

Then, taking out a Gathering Essence Pill, he swallowed it whole, immediately feeling a rich medicinal power dissolve within his body.

Witnessing this scene, Qi Chuan closed his eyes, activating the Evergreen Technique. In the surrounding void, strands of Spiritual Qi separated, entered his body through his breath, and were then refined.

Soon, a Grand Circulation had completed. Qi Chuan opened his eyes and saw a line of text slowly emerging before him.

[You activated the Evergreen Technique, absorbed Spiritual Qi, refined the medicinal power, converting it to your own mana, triggering an eightfold critical strike, obtaining eightfold gains. Your total mana has increased slightly.]

Instantly, Qi Chuan clearly felt the mana he had just cultivated through the Evergreen Technique increase eightfold, already in a refined state, quietly flowing in his Dantian.

"Next, I will continue cultivating. At this pace, I’ll ascend sooner or later."

Muttering to himself, Qi Chuan closed his eyes again, activating the Evergreen Technique once more.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

On this day, within Qi Chuan’s Tier One Upper Grade Cave Mansion.

His eyes blinked slightly and then slowly opened, unsurprisingly seeing a line of text before him.

[You activated the Evergreen Technique, absorbed Spiritual Qi, refined the medicinal power, converting it to your own mana, triggering a fiftyfold critical strike, obtaining fiftyfold gains. Your total mana has increased significantly. You successfully advanced to Qi Refining Sixth Layer.]

At this moment, Qi Chuan could feel the mana in his Dantian had increased significantly, effortlessly crossing the divide from Qi Refining Fifth Layer to Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

"Finally, the Qi Refining Sixth Layer!"

Feeling the "mana pool" in his Dantian, which was considerably larger than in the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, a smile appeared on Qi Chuan’s face.

Now, with sheer mana density alone, he could suppress cultivators at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

It was truly not easy.

The fruit of years of diligent cultivation.

"Still, my progress over the past year isn’t limited to mana alone..."

Qi Chuan smiled faintly and then clenched his right fist. There, a dazzling Spirit Crystal light radiated from within, gradually spreading throughout his arm, and if he willed it, it could envelop his whole body.

"This power..."

Qi Chuan could feel the terrible strength hidden in his right fist at this moment.

This strength, with a single punch, could crack or even shatter most top-tier Middle Grade Magical Artifacts!

This was because, through selling talismans during the past year, he had acquired Spirit Stones to aid his body refining, allowing the Little Profound Crystal Jade Body’s Second Layer Crystal Bone Realm to reach its ultimate state. The next step would be the Third Layer.

Thus, at this point, Qi Chuan’s physical body was comparable to the finest Middle Grade Magical Artifacts.

He could, with his sheer physical strength, contend against cultivators at the Peak of Qi Refining Sixth Layer, or even top Tier One Middle Grade Demon Beasts.

"Furthermore, the Clarity Spirit Eye has been at the Minor Success Level for quite some time, but unfortunately, neither the Basic Five Elements Magic nor the Talisman Making Skill have broken through..."

A hint of regret appeared on Qi Chuan’s face.

The cultivation of the Clarity Spirit Eye was comparatively simple due to its low proficiency level, achieving Minor Success as early as eight months ago.

This was without focusing much energy on the Clarity Spirit Eye. Had he devoted more effort, the breakthrough speed would likely have been much faster. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

As for the Basic Five Elements Magic, it had long surpassed the ordinary Great Success Level but was still a distance from perfection.

Qi Chuan thought that if he focused more energy on it, the speed to reach Perfection would be faster. However, he deemed his cultivation level as most crucial, meaning magic could be placed slightly later.

There’s just one final Perfection Level to attain, and even intermittently practicing magic would eventually achieve a breakthrough, possibly faster than cultivation progress, considering he was at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, far from the Qi Refining Tenth Layer.

As for Talisman Making Skill, it’s universally acknowledged to be challenging to advance from a Tier One Upper Grade Talisman Maker to a Tier One Top Grade Talisman Maker.

Even though his Talisman Making Skill had improved greatly at the Tier One Upper Grade Talisman Maker Level, Qi Chuan felt that it would take considerable time to advance to a Tier One Top Grade Talisman Maker.

However, even so, Qi Chuan viewed his Talisman Making Skill as strong, perhaps even very strong.

Since the talismans crafted by a Tier One Upper Grade Talisman Maker are Upper Grade Talismans.

And Upper Grade Talismans generally correspond to the Qi Refining Late Stage.

Moreover, including the Basic Five Elements Magic, it is a fairly effective tactic even at the Qi Refining Late Stage.

"In conclusion, despite not investing significant energy into various skills, their enhancement speed has been quite rapid; there’s nothing to worry about."

"In contrast, my cultivation level is now at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer. The next step is reaching Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivation."

"And keep in mind, achieving Qi Refining Late Stage before thirty allows one to stay in the Inner Sect until fifty."

"Additionally, if a vacancy occurs for a True Inheritance position, and the Sect hosts a True Inheritance selection, the minimum cultivation requirement for qualifying is Qi Refining Seventh Layer."

"Thus, if my cultivation level advances further, I’ll qualify for the True Inheritance selection; then it’s merely waiting for the selection event!"

Thinking of this, anticipation surfaced in Qi Chuan’s eyes.

For he knew, should he partake in the True Inheritance selection, with his multitude of skills, obtaining a True Inheritance position was highly promising.

And once he ascends to True Inheritance, the Foundation Establishment Pill would be within reach.

Then, with the enhanced Qi and Blood from the Little Profound Crystal Jade Body, the Foundation Establishment Pill, alongside his Golden Finger’s Hundredfold Critical Strike effect, overcoming bottlenecks and reaching Foundation Establishment should be relatively straightforward.

If there were any weaknesses, they likely resided in his Divine Soul.

The three barriers to Foundation Establishment are Mana Barrier, achieved with cultivation reaching Qi Refining Tenth Layer.

Physical Body Barrier, with the Little Profound Crystal Jade Body, currently refined to the Second Layer Crystal Bone Realm, already provides significant aid, and advancing to the Third Layer would alleviate all concerns.

It’s the Divine Soul... regarding the Refining God Technique, Qi Chuan had never heard of it, whether in the Qi Family at Red Maple Valley or after entering the Wind Moon Sect’s Inner Sect.

"Oh, having a Refining God Technique would be ideal, alas..."

With such thoughts, Qi Chuan slightly shook his head, his expression inevitably tinged with regret.
