Immortality begins with raising apprentices

Chapter 47 Geng Metal Qi, Breaking Limits!

The cries in the cold night were as faint as a kitten's whimper, and the girl's once arrogant and domineering eyes were now furrowed with tears.

Chen Ye stood frozen in the snow, at a loss for what to do.

Is this still the ethereal, detached goddess of the future?
He looked down at the little girl in his arms.

The little black fluffy thing didn't even care that he was being held; it was sobbing, its thin, red, frozen fingers gripping his clothes tightly.

His long, dark hair cascaded down to his elbows.
The older girl lowered her head and wiped away tears with her left hand, looking pitiful.

"Master will compensate you." Chen Ye suddenly squatted down, golden light flickering from his fingertips.

The Geng metal energy swept across the snow like a paper cutter, and the shattered jade fragments surged and reformed under the pull of spiritual power.

Zhiwei looked up with tears in her eyes and saw a cat carved from ice crystals floating in Chen Ye's palm.

The cat is so lifelike, with such lively eyes.

It was far more exquisite than the snowballs that Zhiwei had made.

“This is…” She forgot to cry and stared straight at the snow cat.

"Master's cooking is pretty good, isn't it?"

Chen Ye wiped away his sweat. He hadn't been this nervous when he used Gengjin Qi to control Gao Ming.

Fortunately, his Geng metal energy was already superbly controlled.

It's easy to sculpt a lifelike cat based on the image of your neighbor's cat.

"I never expected... that Zhiwei would like this kind of thing."

While the black fur ball was distracted, Chen Ye quietly stroked her smooth black hair.

Patting Qingjun's head couldn't be easier.

If you feed her something, she'll stand there obediently.

She didn't care what Chen Ye did.

But this was the first time Chen Ye had ever touched Zhiwei's head.

Zhiwei held the crystal-clear ice cat in her hands. Fine snowflakes fell on her eyelashes and condensed into frost flowers. A sense of novelty appeared in her eyes.

Chen Ye chuckled to himself as he watched.

It's just a little toy...

But it's perfectly normal for Zhiwei to have this kind of hobby.

Didn't little girls in their past lives all like these kinds of dolls?

"Zhiwei, I was just playing with it... Master, don't hug me!"

Zhiwei snapped out of her daze, and embarrassedly pushed against Chen Ye's chest, trying to get down.

Chen Ye was exasperated. The petting experience voucher he got by exchanging the snow cat was expiring so soon?
……

That night, the cultivation room shone with golden light.

Twenty-two Qi-restoring pills, each the size of a longan, were piled up like a small mountain on the table.

The proficiency panel offers a unique advantage when practicing low-level spells like the Gengjin Technique.

That's why it's so easy to execute!
With sufficient spiritual power, one can quickly absorb and exhale Geng metal energy.

At present, Chen Ye can produce ten Qi at the same time, which has reached the normal limit of Geng metal Qi.

Legend has it that the immortal Bai Li, who created the Geng Metal Qi technique, could only produce ten Qi at the same time!
"But... with so many pills, we should be able to eat our fill, right?"

Chen Ye's face fell.
Ten golden rays shimmered in his palm like flowing light.

Once his spiritual energy was exhausted, Chen Ye swallowed a Qi-restoring pill.

In the cycle of the dantian being depleted and then replenished, the mountain-sized Qi-restoring pills were gradually consumed.

The golden light in his palm shrank further, resembling a star core, its color becoming deep and solid.

"Geng metal energy was originally just condensed metal-type spiritual power to kill enemies by using the sharpness of metal-type spiritual power. It is the most basic spell, just a simple application of spiritual power."

"but now……"

Ten strands of Geng metal energy, like swimming fish, moved between his five fingers, incredibly agile and elusive.

In the past, when Chen Ye and Gao Ming fought head-on, Gao Ming intercepted five of their ten qi.

But now, let alone five paths, Gao Ming probably wouldn't be able to stop even one!
And this is only the unbroken limit of Geng metal energy!
A night of hard practice.

As the last wisp of spiritual energy was extracted, Chen Ye bit down on the Qi-restoring pill, and the gentle medicinal power surged into his meridians.

pain!
My meridians are throbbing and painful!
Chen Ye's face was contorted with rage.

No matter how mild the medicinal power, the body can hardly withstand it after flushing the meridians more than twenty times.

But now, there's no time for Chen Ye to take his time.

The golden light trembled and floated out from the fingertips with great difficulty.

But then, the brilliant golden light suddenly collapsed to the size of a grain of rice, and then exploded again, scattering into countless points of light!
[Geng Metal Qi Exceeds Limit: 1/800]

"call……"

With twenty-two Qi-restoring pills, he cultivated his Geng metal Qi to the limit overnight!
However, the cost is undoubtedly enormous for Chen Ye at this point.

It cost a full twenty spirit stones.
These spirit stones are enough to rent a house for half a year! "However, if one can cultivate Geng Metal Qi to the limit by simply taking Qi-restoring pills, others would probably be willing to spend hundreds or even thousands of spirit stones."

Chen Ye was satisfied. He slightly increased his spiritual power, wanting to try the Geng Metal Qi at the limit-breaking level.

Suddenly feeling a tearing pain all over his body, he was so frightened that he quickly stopped.

Such strenuous training is simply too much for the body to handle!

Fortunately, he has mastered the body movement technique.

If it were his previous sickly body, Chen Ye would probably have trained himself to death.

"To be honest, it hurts, but it's still pretty satisfying to see my skill proficiency increase step by step."

Chen Ye suddenly remembered his past life, when he used to play games, farm for loot and level up, and he could play for days and nights without getting tired.

Time flies and never returns.

The blissful days of playing games while sipping iced tea and lemonade are gone forever.

But back then he was all alone; now he has two little ones under his knees.

Two dumplings, still the ultimate thighs five hundred years later!
But no matter how much Chen Ye suspected,
If he trains for another five hundred years, then he will be the one to carry the dumpling!
……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

A tiny golden star hovers in the air.

"call out!"

In the blink of an eye, Venus swirled and danced, leaping over a hundred steps before dissipating into specks of light.

The attack range of the Geng Metal Qi, which has reached the limit level, has increased from fifty steps to one hundred steps!

Within a hundred paces, taking someone's head is a piece of cake.

This attack range is more than enough to meet Chen Ye's combat needs.

As for power...

Chen Ye dared not experiment on the walls of the house as he did in the shantytown.

Damaging houses in the market will cost you spirit stones!

However, when Gengjin Qi is at its perfect level, it can defeat Gao Ming, who is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, without any chance to fight back.

A Gengjin Qi at the limit-breaking level should be invincible in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and could even threaten the late-stage of Qi Refining!

It should be noted that the Gengjin Technique is only a low-level technique, and Chen Ye has only practiced it for half a month!
"Brother Chen!"

Tian Feng's expression was slightly gloomy. As soon as he entered, he got straight to the point.

"Brother Chen, have you healed the three spiritual plants from that day?"

Chen Ye's spirits lifted; he now had absolutely no spirit stones left.

They were just waiting for Tian Feng to come and collect the goods and deliver the spirit stones.

In the past two days, after finishing his practice of the Gengjin Technique, Chen Ye focused on treating the three sickly seedlings.

"Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​we've been waiting for you! Please come in with me."

Chen Ye invited Tian Feng into his home and brought out three spiritual plants from his cultivation room.

The spiritual plant's branches and leaves are outstretched, radiating a spiritual glow, and full of vitality.

A slight smile appeared on Tian Feng's troubled face as he rubbed his hands together with a grin:

"As expected of Brother Chen! He cured three diseased seedlings in just two days! Here are twenty spirit stones, please count them carefully, Brother Chen! Oh, and this is the Annals of Yan Kingdom."

Chen Ye took the spirit stone, glanced at it briefly, and then put it into his empty pouch.

With his pockets full, he immediately felt more confident.

But the thought of owing his neighbor Pingzhuo thirty spirit stones instantly shattered his confidence.

"Is Fellow Daoist Tian in a bad mood today?" Chen Ye asked casually.

He tucked the book Tian Feng handed him under his arm. This book was not widely available, so Chen Ye asked Tian Feng to help him find it.

"Ugh!"

Tian Feng sighed heavily, his anger rising even more after seeing the three healed spiritual plants.

Don't be fooled by how much Chen Ye earns; Shi Jing will earn even more!

"These past two days, I was planning to do something big, but I didn't expect the Jade Lizard to strengthen the defenses of East Valley. Today, there are only two diseased seedlings left... If these two are cured, it will be worth fourteen spirit stones!"

Tian Feng sighed, picked up his storage bag, and took out two diseased seedlings.

Chen Ye's heart skipped a beat.

Without the source of spiritual plants from the Stone Mirror, he could only earn money one spirit stone at a time, albeit painfully.

Now, he needs more and more spirit stones.

Two days ago, he spent twenty spirit stones in one night.

Even the spirit stones earned from the Stone Mirror Society aren't enough to cover our expenses!
Before parting, Tian Feng put on a straw hat to cover his face.

He added:
“Brother Chen, be careful these days. The Jade Lizard Society seems to have noticed something's wrong and has recently increased their manpower to keep watch on you. Although I'm usually careful, I might still slip up and let the Jade Lizard Society discover you…”
