Cultivation: I Forge Immortality with My Spiritual Eyes

Chapter 111 Breaking Through the Realm

The rain poured down, and the world was shrouded in a misty haze, making it difficult to see people even a few feet away.

Jiang Yi ran swiftly along the coastline and soon found a sheltered, shallow beach.

I looked around and made sure no one was there.

He then cast a water-repelling spell, tucked Xiao Li into his arms, and leaped into the sea, swimming away into the distance.

About an incense stick later.

Jiang Yi poked his head out of the sea and quietly surveyed his surroundings.

Before me lay a vast expanse of sea, devoid of any deserted islands, save for a few dark, jagged rocks protruding from the surface.

The largest was no more than ten feet square, while the smallest was just big enough for one person to stand on.

This place is fairly secluded.

Not wanting to delay any longer, he leaped onto a rock and took Little Pear out of his arms.

"Meow!"

The little guy was so excited that he licked Jiang Yi's cheek, then jumped to the ground and looked up at the sky.

Lightning flashed and flickered across the clouds, accompanied by rumbling thunder.

Its back was slightly arched, its fur was slightly bristling, and its light blue cat eyes were wide open, emitting a low, excited whimper.

In Jiang Yi's perception, the loose thunderous energy nearby was rapidly gathering.

In just a short while, the aura of thunder around him became so thick that it was almost viscous.

A crackling sound filled the air as tiny arcs of electricity danced wildly across the surface of the reef.

Jiang Yihan's hair stood on end, his scalp tingled, and he dared not linger. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped to another reef not far away.

He placed his hand on the Autumn Water Sword, keeping a watchful eye on any unusual movements around him while keeping a close eye on Xiao Li's movements.

The little guy stood quietly on the reef, tilting his head slightly and opening his mouth, like a whale sucking in water, beginning to swallow and spit out a sky full of thunder.

Its tiny body seemed to transform into a bottomless black hole.

The surrounding area was filled with rolling, endless thunderous energy.

Even the lightning flashing in the sky was drawn down, one after another, slashing down at the reef.

Purple and white lightning flashed alternately, making half of the sea surface appear to be lit up and dark.

Bathed in thunder, its body crackling with purple lightning, its power far surpassing its previous advancement.

It was clearly a small cat, no more than a foot in size.

At this moment, it resembled an ancient beast that could summon thunder and lightning, surveying all directions with disdain, inspiring fear in those who beheld it.

Jiang Yi stood on a reef more than ten feet away, wiping the rain off his face, his eyes filled with shock.

Although it wasn't the first time he'd witnessed such a scene, he still couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

He was increasingly unsure about Xiaoli's background.

When we used the Spirit Eye to examine its fur, we concluded that its bloodline was "superior".

Looking back now, perhaps my initial judgment was too conservative.

This little guy's talent and potential are probably not as simple as just having a superior bloodline.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his turbulent emotions, and tightened his grip on the sword hilt.

Time passed slowly.

The rain poured down relentlessly without stopping for a moment.

Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, plunging the world into darkness.

Unlike usual, Xiaoli was not mischievous or playful and couldn't sit still.

Right now, it's perched steadily on the reef, continuously spewing out thunder, its focus as intense as a cat's.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Its internal energy surged and grew stronger, while the rocks beneath it were already charred black by the lightning.

Purple lightning and white lightning flashed alternately, making the area look like a lightning swamp.

Jiang Yi narrowed his eyes, not blinking, knowing that Xiao Li had reached a critical point in her breakthrough.

He channeled his magic power, focusing intently on the lightning, ready to deal with any unforeseen events.

Sure enough, a few moments later...

Suddenly, a bright purple light shone in Xiao Li's eyes, and her aura broke through the invisible shackles, climbing to a new level.

"In the next instant, the surrounding thunderous energy suddenly surged violently, and lightning bolts filled the sky like rivers flowing into the sea."

With a force several times stronger than before, it was frantically poured into its body.

Become!

Jiang Yi watched this scene from afar, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

This little guy, eating and sleeping all day long, and all the good food we've given it has finally paid off.

Soon after.

The aura emanating from Xiaoli gradually stabilized and subsided, no longer recklessly drawing in lightning.

It shook its fur, swallowing up the remaining arcs of electricity around it.

Her big eyes darted around, looking left and right, and quickly locked onto Jiang Yi in the rain.

"Meow!"

Little Pear called out, spread her four paws, and excitedly pounced on him.

Jiang Yi, having prior experience, secretly channeled his magic to protect himself and caught the pouncing cat steadily.

To avoid being harmed by the remaining power of the thunder.

"Meow~"

Little Pear nestled in his arms, rubbing against him and wagging her little tail happily.

Jiang Yi patted its head and praised, "Not bad, you've made progress. From now on, I'll urge you to work hard in your cultivation, so you can't be lazy anymore."

"Meow~"

The little guy blinked, pretending not to understand.

She rubbed against his neck, trying to fool him.

Jiang Yi smiled and picked him up to check him over.

The little guy hasn't shown any significant changes in this stage of development yet.

It's a bit heavier now, making it feel even more pressing in your hand, and there are occasional tiny arcs of electricity flashing through its fur.

The rest remain the same as before, but the real transformation will likely appear gradually and imperceptibly in the future.

Little Pear snuggled in my arms for a while, then excitedly jumped onto my shoulder and looked around in the distance.

"Meow?"

A moment later, a hint of doubt appeared in its eyes. It raised one of its front paws, pointed southeast, and whispered twice in Jiang Yi's ear.

Jiang Yi followed its gaze and saw that it was in the direction of the coral forest.

A thought struck him, and he asked curiously, "What? What's your impression of that place?"

"Meow~"

Little Pear nodded repeatedly, patted his shoulder with her little paws, and looked on with great interest, urging him to hurry up and go take a look over there.

Jiang Yi frowned slightly, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

When I bought the pears at Qingluofang Market years ago, the stall owner had casually mentioned it.

At that time, an underwater surge broke out in the coral forest area, and Xiao Li was the one he caught while fleeing for his life.

This time, the little guy seemed vaguely familiar with the place, which wasn't surprising, as it was very likely born here.

Jiang Yi looked up and gazed into the distance, but all he could see was a blur, and he couldn't make out much.

Although the Coral Forest is full of treasures, it is also fraught with dangers, including the presence of second-tier demonic beasts.

Given the severity of the weather, it would be unwise for someone with their current cultivation level to rashly venture in.

He scooped Xiaoli off his shoulder and soothed her gently, "Sweetie, it's raining too hard today to go. Next time we come, I'll definitely go back with you to take a look."

"Meow~"

Xiaoli didn't really care; it was just her curiosity that got the better of her.

Hearing this, it licked its paws, obediently responded, and then quietly shrank into my arms.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi praised the little guy a few more times, looked around, and then wrapped him tightly in front of his chest.

He then activated his water-repelling technique, leaped into the sea, and swam towards the deserted island where he had previously landed.

Much later.

Jiang Yi took Xiao Li back to the cave.

The torrential rain continued, the curtain of rain obscuring the view outside the cave.

Qin Ruyi was sitting cross-legged in meditation, holding a spirit stone in each hand.

Hearing footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes and asked in confusion, "Why did you take so long? What's the situation outside?"

Jiang Yi sat down by the campfire and casually said, "I stayed outside for a while, and the surrounding area is relatively safe. There was no unusual activity. In such heavy rain, there wasn't a soul in sight."

Qin Ruyi nodded slightly, asked no more questions, closed her eyes again, and continued to practice breathing exercises.

Jiang Yi took the wet pear out of his arms and gently placed it by the campfire to dry.

The little one lay on his back, belly up, snoring softly, fast asleep.

Jiang Yi glanced at it and couldn't help but shake his head.

He let out a soft sigh, took out the treasure he had unexpectedly bought from the black market, and examined it repeatedly in the firelight.

The texture of this substance is quite peculiar.

It resembles gold but is not gold, resembles jade but is not jade, resembles stone but is not stone; it is icy to the touch and unusually heavy.

Judging from the fracture, it should be a missing part of a complete artifact.

It has been through countless years, yet it still contains such amazing spiritual charm.

If it were intact, I wonder what kind of treasure it would be.

Jiang Yi examined it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, he dared not use his spiritual eyes to examine the item again, and could only carefully put it back in his sleeve, leaving it for another day to deal with.

He added two more pieces of firewood to the campfire and took out two spirit stones, holding them in his palm.

He then took out a pill bottle from his sleeve, poured out a elixir and swallowed it. Afterward, he closed his eyes slightly, circulated his cultivation technique, and slowly immersed himself in cultivation.

'

Time flies like water.

Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past few days, Jiang Yi and Qin Ruyi have been staying on the deserted island, during which time they have frequently entered and exited the black market.

While strolling around, he repeatedly inquired in various shops, looking for merchant ships that were going to Hundred Flowers Island soon and were willing to take the independent cultivators.

The black market trade was already quite complex, and merchant ships were frequently seen coming and going, so the two of them easily contacted a certain company.

After making inquiries from various sources, it was confirmed that the caravan was a legitimate business, and there were more than ten independent cultivators on board. Only then did they feel relieved.

Each of them took out fifty spirit stones and bought two boat tickets.

This price is really not cheap.

Besides the fact that black market transactions always involve higher prices.

Furthermore, Hundred Flowers Island is tens of thousands of miles away, and the journey is fraught with unpredictable storms, making this expense unavoidable.

of.

Jiang Yi hadn't decided where to stay.

If Qin Ruyi hadn't accompanied him, he might have gone to Ling'ao Island, which he had visited before, alone.

He knew the place well, so it was like revisiting a familiar place.

However, Qin Ruyi held Hundred Flowers Island in high esteem, and her words often revealed her longing for it.

After thinking it over, Jiang Yi decided to accompany her.

Baihualou is skilled in cultivating spiritual plants and alchemy.

If I want to pursue this path in the future, perhaps I'll find better opportunities there.
