Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 70 Breakthrough: Late Stage of Qi Refining! [Seeking First Subscription]

This time, Ji Yuan rented a courtyard that was no longer a lakeside cottage, but one in the market area of ​​Jingdefang.

The houses in Yunyuze are worthless, the land is worthless, but safety is valuable.

Therefore, the courtyards in this market area are naturally much more expensive.

Even though Ji Yuan only rented it for a month, it still cost him a full 5 spirit stones.

After the two spent half a day settling in, they sat down in the hall to discuss things. After thinking for a moment, Qiu Qianhai said, "You should break through first."

"Time is of the essence. If anything unexpected happens, as long as you have the strength of the late stage of Qi Refining, you will have nothing to fear."

"But if I break through first, even if I reach the sixth level of Qi Refining, it won't make a difference."

That was indeed the case, so Ji Yuan didn't refuse anymore.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

After he finished speaking, he got up and went to the room next door. Then he took out several pieces of white paper from his storage bag, which were labeled with the words "Enlightenment Room", "Talisman Room", and "Pigsty".

Then he pasted the [Talisman Room] on the wall. After gaining the amplified effect, he first drew more than a dozen first-tier low-grade Tranquility Talismans.

After putting away the blank paper, he first pasted a tranquility note on the wall, and then pasted a calming talisman on his body.

Once he calmed down, he activated the [Cave Abode] effect.

He immediately took out six low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag.

This breakthrough to the late stage of Qi Refining required a considerable amount of spirit stones, and he didn't even consume any more spirit eggs.

For him, who was already at the sixth level of Qi Refining, the spiritual energy provided by the Green-Yellow Chicken Spirit Pig was really not enough.

First, he held three spirit stones in each hand. After using the six spirit stones to open up his meridians and dantian, Ji Yuan took out six low-grade spirit stones.

After absorbing 30 low-grade spirit stones in succession, Ji Yuan felt that the warm-up was almost complete.

He then took out two mid-grade spirit stones from his storage bag.

This mid-grade spirit stone is also milky white, but compared to the low-grade spirit stone, it contains far fewer impurities, and its milky white color is also purer.

For example, when Baibaolou retrieved these mid-grade spirit stones, they were all taken from jade boxes.

This is to prevent its spiritual energy from being lost.

Even now, just holding it in his hand, Ji Yuan can feel the pure spiritual energy emanating from it.

Without saying a word, he immediately activated the "Azure Sea Tide Technique." As pure spiritual energy surged into his meridians, Ji Yuan couldn't help but let out a comfortable groan.

For Ji Yuan, who had always absorbed low-grade spirit stones, and even started by eating eggshells, this was the first time he had absorbed a mid-grade spirit stone.

It feels like a car that's always used 92-octane gasoline, suddenly being filled with 98-octane...it's incredibly refreshing.

I felt refreshed and invigorated.

Moreover, this mid-grade spirit stone contains a great deal of spiritual energy. Even though Ji Yuan tried his best to absorb it for half a day, it seemed that the amount of spiritual energy had not decreased at all.

He is striving to break through.

Qiu Qianhai was also cultivating outside the door, but every time he cultivated for a while, he would get up and walk around to take a look.

However, the more he cultivated, the more frequently he got up. Not only that, he also always frowned, as if he was struggling with something.

Later, he simply left the house and went outside.

The two of them came to Jingdefang to break through their limits on a whim, and they hadn't even made any preparations beforehand, let alone anyone else.

So, while they claim to be Dharma protectors, there's really nothing much going on.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside shop number 18, Jia, Tai'anfang.

Yao Jingfeng and Du Wanyi sat facing each other.

"Recruiting Ji Yuan is no problem. With the formation, he can already have the strength of the late stage of Qi Refining at the sixth level, not to mention that he is about to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining."

As Yao Jingfeng spoke, his fingers tapped lightly on the table.

"Three years... The next Water Dragon Sect selection will be our turn. I reckon Ji Yuan should be able to join in one fell swoop. At that time, the three of us will be considered as fellow disciples of the Mutual Aid Association."

"Um."

Du Wanyi nodded slightly, "So when the time comes, we might as well just be honest with him and get to know him better."

"Okay, and don't forget Luo Tian either. As for the rest... let's see how they go for now. Forget about those who don't have any special opportunities or strength."

"Alright, but Ji Yuan has offended the Qin family. What about Old Blind Qin?"

Du Wanyi wasn't worried about the Qin family, but Old Blind Qin was at the peak of Qi Refining... especially since he was at the peak of Qi Refining and didn't have many years left to live, which made things more difficult.

When this kind of person goes crazy, who would dare to risk their life alongside him?

"It's alright."

Yao Jingfeng smiled and said, "That old blind man doesn't want his lineage to die out either; he knows what's important."

"At worst, I'll just ask Brother Han Feiyu to come back."

"Alright."

……

at the same time.

Zengtou City, Qin Family Hall.

Qin Long, who was in the late stage of Qi Refining, and He Laosan, the adopted son of Old Blind Qin, listened silently to Qin Wei's story about Ji Yuan.

"So, Ji Yuan has risen up again in Zengtou City, and we were completely unaware of it beforehand."

Qin Long frowned and said in a deep voice.

"No, it's not that. When the Water Dragon Sect was selecting disciples, the news that Ji Yuan was favored by two disciples at the same time spread quite widely, but you were recuperating at the time, so you probably didn't notice."

He Laosan explained, "But the news that circulated at the time all said that he was being eyed by two disciples of the Water Dragon Sect at the same time, and it didn't say that he had this kind of relationship with Qiu Qianhai."

"Moreover, the Wu family even took the initiative to establish a connection with this scheme."

"Wu family?"

Qin Wei seemed to have thought of something and turned to Qin Long, saying, "Father, why don't I call Lu Wan over and ask her? She should know about the Wu family's affairs, and it seems that she and Ji Yuan know each other."

Upon hearing this, He Laosan hurriedly turned to look at Qin Wei, thinking that this might be a viable option.

Qin Long shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Ji Yuan was able to kill Hu Da and Zhang Kai at the same time, and the Liu brothers of Qingbo Pond were most likely killed by him as well... He probably has the strength of the late stage of Qi Refining."

"If that's the case, those people from the mutual aid society have probably already contacted him beforehand, like Du Wanyi."

A mutual aid society?!

Qin Wei's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this. Outsiders might not know about this mutual aid society, but as a direct descendant of the Qin family, he naturally knew of its existence.

To be invited to a mutual aid society, you need to have the strength of the late stage of Qi Refining.

Ji Yuan is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining and he was invited, so doesn't that mean he can definitely join the Water Dragon Sect?

"Then this is not a decision we can make," He Laosan said slowly.

Qin Long immediately stood up. "Hmm, I'll go ask Father what we should do about this. Once Ji Yuan breaks through to the late stage of Qi Refining, I'm afraid even Qiu Qianhai will be difficult for us to deal with."

After he finished speaking, about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn was up.

Qin Long returned, and Qin Wei hurriedly stood up and asked, "Father, what did Grandpa say?"

Not only him, but even He Laosan listened intently.

"Ji Yuan has already gained power, there's nothing we can do about it, let him go. As for Qiu Qianhai... Father said he will handle it personally."

Not long after, Qin Wei left, and seeing that Qin Long was about to leave as well, He Laosan seized the opportunity to ask, "Second Brother, do you mean that Father will personally deal with this junior, Qiu Qianhai?"

Qin Long stopped and hummed in agreement.

"Are you saying that your father isn't the kind of person who would avenge his grandson like this?"

Qin Long turned his head and asked with a smile.

He Laosan immediately denied it, "Father is that kind of person, but... but I always feel that there seems to be another reason behind it."

"I've thought about this before and asked my dad, but he wouldn't say."

Qin Long returned to the table and asked softly, "Third brother, do you know something?"

After a long silence, He Laosan said, "This matter may be related to the inheritance ceremony back then, and my elder brother's death."

"What?!"

"..."

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On that day, Qiu Qianhai, who was sitting in the courtyard cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes, turned around and looked into the house, his eyes full of joy.

Because there was an atmosphere emanating from the room that made him feel uneasy.

Late stage of Qi Refining!

This is... Ji Yuan has broken through!
