At the age of one hundred, I inquired about the Dao, awakening the supreme spiritual root that shatt

Bai Luoqing's plan fell through, and she left the Waste Treasure Pavilion in displeasure.

Ling Xiu watched him leave, his resolve hardening. He knew he had to become stronger as quickly as possible and strive to reach the late-stage Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm within six months.

By then, I will have enough strength to protect myself, and I will at least be no worse than Ye Jingyun.

If that arrogant woman dares to humiliate him again, Ling Xiu wouldn't mind assassinating her and burying her somewhere.

Refining Qi to the fourth level is indeed still a long way off.

From this moment on, Ling Xiu began his secluded cultivation, wasting no time.

Only through continuous self-cultivation can one become someone who is not subject to humiliation.

The Qiankun Xuanhu helped him advance the grade of his spiritual pills. Whether it was Qi Shen Pill, Huan Yang Pill, Xi Gu Pill, or Ling Po Pill, he used all spiritual pills that were helpful for cultivation and beneficial to himself to advance his grade.

Even though Ling Xiu is over a hundred years old, he still possesses an unparalleled supreme spiritual root and is aided by these top-grade spiritual pills.

He cultivated with ease, and his speed was no less than that of young genius cultivators, and even far surpassed them.

In particular, the Bone Cleansing Pill is extremely beneficial to him.

After swallowing it, the body is transformed, the marrow is cleansed and the hair is cleansed, and the whole person feels an unprecedented sense of ease.

As time went by, his cultivation level continued to improve.

From the fourth level of Qi Refining, to the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining, and then breaking through the shackles, he advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining...

Each time his cultivation improved, the surging, violent power within his dantian gave him more confidence.

With the support of these top-grade elixirs during his promotion, his foundation became extremely solid.

During this period, while improving his cultivation, he also did not forget to practice the Flying Swallow Step and the Fiery Palm.

As one grows stronger and possesses ample magical power, these two techniques become easier to master, unleashing terrifying power.

boom!

When that fiery palm print was unleashed, it was as if it had transformed into a ferocious tiger descending the mountain, endlessly devouring the heavens and earth.

The tall trees in front of us were rapidly reduced to ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Flying Swallow Step allows him to move as lightly as a swallow, stepping on green grass and flying at low altitudes.

His speed and agility increased dramatically, leaving behind afterimages.

Ling Xiu is now fully confident that he can fight even a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

With a powerful leap, he could easily scale the tall attic building.

At the same time, he has become increasingly proficient in the "Hidden Breath Chaos" technique after his advancement.

As his cultivation level improved, he was able to completely conceal his cultivation level in an instant.

The Concealed Breath Disorder technique completely disrupts one's own aura, making it impossible for the opponent to sense any aura at all. It is many times more powerful than the ordinary Concealed Breath technique.

Moreover, it has a major advantage: it can transform into a lower-level aura to confuse the opponent, making it impossible for them to distinguish it.

Not only that, Ling Xiu also upgraded the broken sword that he had repaired and improved, and learned that this top-grade spiritual sword was of the lightning element and was named "Thunder Sword"!

This sword possesses a spirit, allowing Ling Xiu to access all the information about the Thunderclap Sword within his consciousness.

The Thunderclap Sword is forged from extraterrestrial lightning iron. Wielding the sword can summon heavenly lightning, and its sword energy carries a purple glow, radiating a fierce and terrifying aura.

It also endowed it with two great sword techniques.

Thunderous Spirit Slash: The sword is engraved with thunder patterns, capable of breaking through magic and shields, and the thunderous force can paralyze the cultivator's magic power.

Azure Thunder Mystic Slash: Gathers thunderclouds from all four seas, the sword's cry resonates through the soul, suitable for large-scale group attacks and killing.

"receive!"

Ling Xiu concealed the Thunderclap Sword within his dantian and used his magical power to refine it.

It is understood that one must not rush the refining of any magical artifact. Only by refining it with both magical power and spiritual energy can one achieve spiritual connection between the person and the artifact.

In the later stages of cultivation, one can freely control a spirit sword to kill people from a distance, and even achieve the effect of flying on a sword.

Especially this top-grade spiritual sword and magic weapon, which is enough to accompany him until he reaches the Great Perfection of the late Qi Refining stage.

However, the process of refining it consumed too much of his soul and magical power, but Ling Xiu became increasingly excited.

Mastering these two sword techniques provided him with greater security and was his means of survival.

Every so often, disciples would come to the Waste Treasure Pavilion to deliver discarded pills or artifacts; otherwise, no one would disturb them.

Ling Xiu never wasted a single day, cultivating day after day. In summer, cicadas chirped in the trees, and in winter, snow fell heavily. In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed.

That day, he was sitting cross-legged, cultivating his magic technique. Powerful magic surrounded him, and terrifying power swept over the small wooden house.

Within his dantian, the "Void Primordial Longevity Technique" circulated wildly, its magical power becoming incredibly solid and heavy, flowing through his body with the force of an overwhelming tide.

Even a casual strike can cause the space to tremble, exuding domineering power.

If he hadn't gathered his magical power, the wooden house wouldn't have been able to withstand it at all.

Immediately, he activated the Concealing Breath and Disrupting Technique, quickly suppressing his own aura.

call!

Ling Xiu exhaled heavily, opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze flashed like a razor-sharp blade.

Feeling the immense magical power within him, which was several times stronger than before, a smile appeared on his face, and he felt extremely gratified.

The hard work and dedication over the past six months have finally paid off.

"Is this the power of the seventh level of Qi Refining?"

Ling Xiu found it hard to believe.

With his own efforts, the blessing of these top-grade elixirs, and the powerful "Void Origin Longevity Technique", he finally raised his cultivation to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm.

"With my current cultivation level and formidable magical power, I'm afraid I'd be qualified to fight even against cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, or even those at the peak of the late stage!"

What surprised him most was that after cultivating the "Void Origin Longevity Technique" for more than half a year, he felt a vibrant life force within his body, and all his bodily functions were improved.

I feel much younger, my long silver hair has become more grayish-black, I feel completely transformed, and the wrinkles on my face have become much shallower.

"Ye Jingyun has been locked up for six months; she should be out soon!"

Ling Xiu muttered to himself, his face calm, but his eyes flashed with a sharp killing intent.

He no longer needs to fear cultivators at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. Although he is still far from the Condensation Realm, he has many ways to protect himself.

"To forge iron, one must be strong oneself." Although he had Yun Ziling as his backer, he knew he couldn't just sit idly by and wait for his doom; he had to become stronger.

Cultivation requires a gradual approach, so Ling Xiu temporarily stopped cultivating and began cleaning the abandoned treasure pavilion.

With a sense of confidence, he unconsciously felt more joy, and a faint halo surrounded him, making his vitality more vigorous than ever before.

But he knew he had to be patient.

After all, there are too many powerful figures in the Qingyun Sect, especially Ye Jingyun, who is a threat, because she has a grandfather who is at the Tongxuan Realm.

We absolutely must be wary of Ye Jingyun.

Ling Xiu, with his century-long life experience, knows best the wickedness of human nature.

Even if she doesn't dare to kill someone openly in the Ruined Pill Pavilion, who can guarantee that she won't do something underhanded? She has many ways to get back at herself.

Most importantly, Ling Xiu knew that he absolutely could not reveal his true cultivation level, otherwise it would attract the attention of the sect, which would put him in unknown danger.

Who would believe that a centenarian could go from an ordinary person to the first level of Qi Refining in less than two years, and then soar all the way to the seventh level of Qi Refining?

This is unprecedented and will never be repeated. Who wouldn't be surprised?

"If I kill Ye Jingyun, Ye Chunqiu will definitely investigate and find the real culprit. This is different from killing Zhao Tianyu. I will not be able to survive then."

"In that case, I absolutely cannot afford to have a falling out with this woman so easily."
