Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 78 Advancement to the Fifth Level of Qi Refining!

Finally, he found the answer in the notes of the Five Elements True Man, a master who had achieved the Golden Core stage hundreds of years ago.

Although the Earth Escape Technique is a basic spell, it is the foundation of all Five Elements Escape Techniques.

Because beneath the earth lies not only soil, but also various minerals, water vapor, underground rivers, plant roots, and even magma and geothermal energy.

Therefore, the underground world is a place where all five elements converge and encompass everything.

If we compare the vast earth to a giant, its composition is just like the five elements blending together in the human body:
Soil is like flesh and blood; the surface soil is like skin, supporting the growth of all things; the deep rock layers are like muscles, maintaining the shape of the earth.

Gold forms the skeleton, and metallic veins constitute the supporting framework of the earth's crust, much like the mineralized manifestation of human bones.

Water is the lifeblood, and underground rivers, like blood vessels, nourish all things; the circulation of water vapor is comparable to the circulation of qi and blood.

Wood acts like nerves, plant roots resemble neural networks that transmit information, and mycelial networks form a vast and complex "earth network".

Fire is the heart and soul; geothermal magma is the core driving force of the earth's vitality, just like a heart pumping energy. Volcanic eruptions are the "heartbeat of the earth."

To travel through such an underground world, the art of earth-遁 (earth-遁术) naturally needs to possess the characteristics of encompassing all five elements.

If one can master the art of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique), one can advance to become a specialist in each of the five elements' escape techniques, such as metal escape, wood escape, water escape, fire escape, and earth escape.

Then the speed and power would be incomparable.

Furthermore, the five elements can be combined to form composite escape techniques, such as metal-stone escape and water-fire escape.

If one can ultimately achieve the unity of the five elements, becoming one with them, then one will have mastered the supreme supernatural power of the Great Five Elements Escape Technique.

This supernatural power is said to be the greatest in the world, capable of going anywhere. Those who can master such a great supernatural power are figures that even Nascent Soul True Monarchs and Transformation God Venerables must look up to.

Such a realm is truly enchanting!
But these things are too far away, and thinking about them is pointless. It's better to just work hard, accumulate magical power, and improve one's realm. Only then can one hope to glimpse the scenery on the high mountain ahead step by step.

Practicing the Earth Escape Technique in the Gray Pearl World consumes far less energy than in the outside world. After all, he can completely control everything here, and even without using the Earth Escape Technique, he can still burrow underground.

It's so convenient to practice spells and improve my spell proficiency here!

After taking out the Qingfeng Zui wine given to him by the Grand Elder and taking a big gulp, Chen Qian began to dart in and out of the land of the Gray Pearl World.

After drinking the top-grade spiritual wine, his magical power became more active, and his comprehension of spells also improved significantly.

The efficiency of practicing magic has been significantly improved.

After casting the Earth Escape Technique hundreds of times, Chen Qian finally exhausted his still considerable magical power.

His proficiency with magic had improved significantly, and only then did he prepare to return to his meditation room.

What I told my two beloved wives before—that he had reached a critical juncture for a breakthrough—was not an exaggeration.

More than two months have passed since Chen Qian advanced to the fourth level, and he has indeed reached the threshold of the fifth level of Qi Refining.

The unbridled use of magic in the Gray Pearl world was also partly due to this consideration.

The more superficial the magic power, the easier it is to consume. He had basically exhausted his magic power, which meant he had used up all the less refined magic power.

Then the magical power that is reabsorbed and cultivated will become more solid and mellow.

Before leaving, I took one last look at the condition of the Golden-winged Falcon eggs.

The little bird has finally absorbed all of the golden sand. Now its pale golden shell is covered with cracks. It's just unknown when it will finally break out of the shell, but it probably won't be long.

On the Xuan Tian Sacred Tree, five fruits shimmered with different colored spiritual light.

In particular, the defensive treasures and flight treasures that have never been used before are already exuding a power that has surpassed the threshold of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Although the chain-shaped confinement artifact was never used, it grew later and was quite inferior to the two that had been hanging on the tree from the beginning.

These fruits can be considered his biggest trump card at the moment.

Of course, this doesn't include the entire Gray Pearl World. This world, which he can freely enter and exit, is his greatest source of security and survival, no matter what.

After wandering around, I made a special trip to check on the withered tree that had been transplanted from the Broken Cauldron Cave, but it remained unchanged.

If Gray Pearl World hadn't said it wasn't dead, he would have chopped it up as firewood.

In the herb garden, all kinds of spiritual herbs and medicines are growing well.

Over the past few months, Chen Qian has transplanted (and casually borrowed) quite a few herbs from Emerald Lake (a gift from two kind people), as well as from the lakeside, slopes, and spirit fields within the valley. Adding to this the spirit herb seeds available for purchase in the Hundred Storage Pavilion, he's planted everything he could find here. While there aren't any rare or precious varieties, he could certainly gather several types if he wanted to refine some Qi Refining stage pills.

However, he simply doesn't have time to study alchemy right now, so he can only let them grow leisurely for the time being.

He also thought about visiting the Sixth Elder to buy some saplings of spirit fruit, but he kept putting it off and never had the time to do it.

"I'm just too busy! It's perfectly normal that I can cultivate at such a speed, far exceeding the strength of others of the same level."

After indulging in self-pity for a while, he patted the head of the little green-scaled foal that had come closer, grabbed the big white rat that had been following him around, and slipped back to the quiet room of Lakeview Residence.

The night was deep and all was quiet.

This is the perfect time for cultivation.

The diligent Chen Qian stretched his body and then habitually cast a dust-removing spell, commanding the spirit-sniffing rat to inhale and exhale spiritual energy on its own, and wait by his side.

Then he sat cross-legged on the futon in the center of the quiet room and began to meditate.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The vortex of spiritual energy that had been subtly stirring the backyard of Lakeview Residence finally subsided.

A few quarters of an hour later, the door to the quiet room, which had been closed for two days, was finally opened with a bang.

Chen Qian looked refreshed and had successfully advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Silently sensing the total amount and quality of his own magical power, he compared it with the ninth-level cultivator from the Lu family he encountered in the battle of Bijia Mountain, and found that he was in no way inferior to them in either aspect.

The range of his divine sense also increased to about 18 feet.

He flicked his sleeves, picked up the sleeping spirit-smelling mouse beside him, put it into his spirit beast pouch, and walked out leisurely.

I don't know if all rodent-like monsters love to sleep, or if this particular one is just exceptionally good at sleeping.

Almost every time I find it in the Gray Bead World, it's asleep.

At this moment, the genius was just beginning to emerge.

Upon exiting the quiet room, Chen Qian immediately spotted a small figure in the central pavilion of the backyard.

Liu Yan was fast asleep, leaning against a pavilion pillar.

The morning dew dampened her hair, and she held a bamboo basket full of spiritual fruits in her arms.

Chen Qian approached quietly, a wisp of breeze condensing from his fingertips, brushing away the fallen leaves from her shoulder.

"You little sleepyhead, you'll catch a cold if you keep sleeping." He flicked the girl's smooth forehead with his finger.

"Hmm...Young Master!"

When Liu Yan woke up, the bamboo basket almost slipped from her hands, but Chen Qian caught it steadily.

Upon seeing who it was, her eyes instantly lit up like stars: "You've successfully broken through? I calculated the time and was about to come out, so I specially picked the freshest jade fruit!"

Jade Fruit is a spiritual fruit that can slightly help Qi Refining cultivators stabilize their realm, and it can also be considered a specialty of Phoenix Forest Valley.

Several trees were planted next to the Lingtian field beside Lakeview Residence.

It's ripe just in time for this season.

As a modern person who has been reborn through time travel, Chen Qian doesn't have many concepts of hierarchy or social status.

For the past month or so, Chen Qian, a gentle and easygoing master with an extraordinary temperament and handsome appearance, has been admired and loved by all the maids, especially these four young maids, who have long been very familiar with him.

When they were together, they were very natural and intimate.

　It's almost the end of the month, fellow cultivators, please leave your monthly votes! If you still have any, thank you!!!

　　Momo: "Not staying? Then try my sword."

　　Yunxi: "Sister Momo is scaring you all. Come and listen to me play a piece instead."
