Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 72 - 68: Profound Blood Realm, Qi Refining Late Stage (2)

Chapter 72: Chapter 68: Profound Blood Realm, Qi Refining Late Stage (2)

"The Profound Blood Realm, comparable to a top-grade Upper Grade Magical Artifact’s physical body!" Qi Chuan raised his hand, his eyes shining brightly.

Different from the first and second layers.

This third layer of the Profound Blood Realm, once broken through, is an immense enhancement, making his physical body directly comparable to a top-grade Upper Grade Magical Artifact.

Unlike the previous two layers, where upon initially entering, it was only equivalent to ordinary Lower and Middle Grade Magical Artifacts.

In other words, Qi Chuan now can contend with experts in the Qi Refining Late Stage and the elites among Tier One Upper Grade Demon Beasts solely relying on his physical body!

"However, it’s a pity that once the third layer is cultivated to the extreme, I can no longer enhance my physical body through medicinal baths..."

A hint of regret appeared in Qi Chuan’s eyes.

For the sake of achieving this Profound Blood Realm, he spent thousands of Lower Grade Spirit Stones, and this is just to attain it. To polish it to the extreme and reach a state comparable to the topmost Top Grade Magical Artifacts still requires a lot.

But, Spirit Stones are not much of a concern, since I can earn them through Talisman Making.

What he regrets is that the Little Profound Crystal Jade Body’s fourth layer, the medicinal bath no longer works.

Because, in essence, medicinal baths are still too gentle, belonging to a relatively inefficient way of enhancing the physical body, achieving little with much effort.

Many body cultivators only reach Tier One Early Stage Body Cultivation through this method, while for Tier One Middle and Late Stages, they adopt more efficient, dangerous, and challenging methods to enhance, thus saving Spirit Stones.

In the Little Profound Crystal Jade Body Manual, besides unique cultivation methods of the Little Profound Crystal Jade Body, there are indeed other ways to enhance the physical body besides medicinal baths.

But for Qi Chuan, this method is the safest and most convenient, and the astonishing consumption of Spirit Stones does not bother him.

Therefore, Qi Chuan sighed at this moment, wishing he could continue using medicinal baths to reach the sixth layer.

"However, the medicinal bath being ineffective, that’s a matter for after the fourth layer, currently I can still use it to enhance to the extreme of the third layer, and worry about future matters later."

"At present, more importantly, my cultivation needs to keep up..."

Qi Chuan focused on his cultivation.

In this half year, while taking medicinal baths, he did not forget to advance his Mana.

Now, his Mana in the sixth layer of Qi Refining has become quite profound, about halfway to the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Refining.

In fact, it wasn’t just Mana.

His Basic Five Elements Magic, Clarity Spirit Eye, in this half year, with occasional practice, has also seen considerable stable improvement, moving towards Perfection and Great Success respectively.

And the Talisman Making Skill has also improved significantly, advancing towards being a Tier One Top Grade Talisman Maker.

After cleaning the stone chamber thoroughly, washing up, and dressing, Qi Chuan arrived at his seclusion place, which has a Tier One Upper Grade Spirit Vein Level.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he assumed a cultivation posture, swallowed the Gathering Essence Pill, and circulated the Evergreen Technique.

Soon, a grand circulation was completed, and Qi Chuan opened his eyes.

[You circulate the Evergreen Technique, absorb Spiritual Qi, refine the Medicinal Power, convert it into your own Mana, triggering a fortyfold critical strike, gaining fortyfold harvest, and your total Mana has gained some enhancement.]

Before him, a line of writing appeared.

Once the writing dissipated, the Mana from this grand circulation instantly multiplied by forty times and was stored within the Dantian.

"Continue cultivating!"

...

Another half a year later.

"Finally reached the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Refining, can start attempting a breakthrough!"

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Qi Chuan opened his eyes, a hint of joy leaking from his gaze.

Through Spiritual Sense introspection within, he could see that now, in the Dantian, his total Mana had reached the critical point of the sixth layer of Qi Refining.

As long as he didn’t break through to the Qi Refining Late Stage, he couldn’t continue to enhance, and the cultivated Mana would dissipate as well.

"According to past experiences, first attempt a trial..."

Qi Chuan calmed his mind until he was as serene as a silent pond, without any ripples, then closed his eyes and devotedly started circulating the Evergreen Technique.

However, this was mere circulation without seeking a breakthrough.

Only feeling the Mana within his meridians flowing like a current, continuously circulating.

This exertion of circulation also caused a slight pressure on the meridians.

But it was this exertion of circulation that made a subtle change appear in Qi Chuan’s consciousness.

It seemed like he sensed an extremely subtle, mysterious feeling, a faint breakthrough impulse.

Subconsciously, within, he felt as if by channeling all his Mana, gathering strength, and charging in a certain direction, he could break through to the seventh layer of Qi Refining.

Realizing this state of mind, Qi Chuan steadfastly held his ground, knowing this was merely an illusion from full-load Mana circulation at the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Refining. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

It wasn’t completely an illusion, it could count as a breakthrough inspiration, but ninety-nine out of a hundred times it was wrong. Believing it would lead to severe consequences.

Thus, Qi Chuan silently sensed the state of mind change from the full-load Mana circulation, trying to discern its essence.

Soon, one grand circulation was completed, and Qi Chuan opened his eyes.

Immediately, the mysterious faint feeling in his consciousness completely vanished, and his mind returned to a normal state.

[You run the Evergreen Technique for a grand circulation, attempting to capture an inspiration opportunity to break through to Qi Refining Late Stage, triggering a sixty-sixfold critical strike, gaining sixty-sixfold harvest, successfully capturing a trace of inspiration opportunity to break through to Qi Refining Late Stage.]

However, a line of writing appeared before him.

And in his mind, some insights and understandings on how to break through to the Qi Refining Late Stage emerged.

This is what’s known as an inspiration opportunity.

However, it was very faint.

This was because the inspiration opportunity generated from a grand circulation of the Evergreen Technique was already extremely thin, hence even after the sixty-sixfold critical strike, it was still scant.

However minimal, it was a correct inspiration opportunity, and Qi Chuan accumulated it in his heart.

Once it reaches Perfection, it will be a complete and perfect inspiration opportunity, allowing for an immediate breakthrough.

"Continue to comprehend!"

Qi Chuan once again closed his eyes and started circulating the Evergreen Technique with full effort.

From now on, as long as his meridians could withstand, he would try capturing the inspiration opportunity.

Only when his meridians felt pressure would he do other things.

Such as medicinal baths, cultivating Basic Five Elements Magic, Clarity Spirit Eye, and Talisman Making.

...

Four months later.

"Finally, the inspiration opportunity is complete!"

A smile emerged on Qi Chuan’s face.

[You run the Evergreen Technique for a grand circulation, attempting to capture an inspiration opportunity to break through to Qi Refining Late Stage, triggering a hundredfold critical strike, gaining hundredfold harvest, successfully capturing some inspiration opportunities for breaking through to Qi Refining Late Stage, and your inspiration opportunity to break through to Qi Refining Late Stage has reached Perfection.]

In front of him, this line of writing was slowly fading away.

Rustle, rustle.

Inside his body, the flow of his blood became exceptionally clear, and his mind was incomparably clear.

In Qi Chuan’s heart emerged an overwhelming impulse, an impulse out of nowhere.

At this moment, he realized that a simple attempt to breakthrough would inevitably succeed.

"Then... let’s break through directly."

Qi Chuan smiled gently, then directly closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, adjusted his posture, and began circulating the Evergreen Technique.

No preparation was needed, no attuning of his state of mind, for the inspiration opportunity for breakthrough had already reached Perfection, making failure impossible.

Moments later, after several grand circulations of the Evergreen Technique finished, Qi Chuan opened his eyes.

Before him, a line of writing appeared slowly.

[You circulate the Evergreen Technique for several grand circulations, absorbing Spiritual Qi, converting it into your own Mana, triggering a hundredfold critical strike, gaining hundredfold harvest, your total Mana increased significantly, and you successfully advanced to the seventh layer of Qi Refining.]
