62: Chapter 62 Qi Refining Ninth Level Perfection

Outside the Legacy Tower, there were more and more Cultivators, but because the number was still not enough, the two Sects planned to call upon some Purple Mansion forces affiliated under their command.

During this period, some Cultivators were sent to collect treasures in the Secret Realm while driving away all creatures within nearly a hundred miles of the Wanta Sect Tower.

Among them, Li Qingling and Song Mingxue went together with a Foundation Establishment Senior Sister to treasure hunt.

A year ago, the two of them passed Master Baiye's Disciple assessment together, becoming Master Baiye's fifth and sixth Disciples. Fortunately, the relationships among Master Baiye's Disciples were relatively close, with many fewer disputes, and this was actually related to Master Baiye as well.

Master Baiye held a special status and had abundant resources within the Sect. She was not only a Cultivator in the Yuxu Sect whose cultivation had reached the eighth layer of the Purple Mansion, but also a Tier 3 High Grade Alchemist. Moreover, she was less than two hundred years old, making her considered the Purple Mansion Cultivator in the Yuxu Sect with the highest chance of achieving the Golden Core.

The reason why Li Qingling and Song Mingxue were able to enter her Sect was truly thanks to going through adversity together. For the treacherous cultivation world, this was extremely rare. Otherwise, no matter how high their talent was, they would not have caught Master Baiye's eye.

"Fourth Senior Sister, Fifth Senior Sister, where are we going next?" Li Qingling asked.

"Since this is the Secret Realm of the Wanta Sect, there might be a herb garden." Fourth Senior Sister Lu Yun explained.

The two nodded and continued forward following Lu Yun.

After traveling for more than an hour, they discovered two groups of Cultivators fighting over a purple ganoderma. The two leading Cultivators had both reached the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, while the Cultivators behind them were basically in the Late Qi Refining Stage. Judging by their attire, they should be Family Cultivators.

"That is a thousand-year purple ganoderma! Let's go over." Lu Yun looked at the two and said.

While fighting, the two groups of Cultivators saw the three approaching and grew internally vigilant.

Having fought until now, their spiritual power had already been consumed quite a bit. If these three also participated, they would only be able to hand over this purple ganoderma to others.

They immediately stopped fighting, looked at the newcomers, and asked, "Fellow Daoists, who are you?"

"That Spirit Medicine, we want it." Lu Yun said indifferently.

Hearing this, the two groups of Cultivators wore angry expressions.

"Fellow Daoist, you are planning to openly rob us."

"So what if I am! The capable shall possess it. I am not bullying you either, come at me together." Lu Yun's expression was calm, not caring about the two opponents at all.

"Heh! Being both in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, even if the two of us do not have much spiritual power left, it is definitely not something you can humiliate at will." The blue-robed middle-aged Cultivator exchanged glances with the other person, seeing each other's intent in their eyes, and immediately teamed up to deal with Lu Yun.

Seeing this, Lu Yun felt disdain in her heart, and in the blink of an eye, she began fighting with the two of them.

As for Li Qingling and Song Mingxue, they dealt with the remaining Late Qi Refining Stage Cultivators alone.

These Cultivators merely originated from ordinary Foundation Establishment families. In terms of strength, it was fundamentally impossible for them to be compared with the Disciples of the Yuxu Sect, let alone the two women who could easily kill across realms.

Before long, Lu Yun ended the battle, looked at the two women, and nodded. Revered Master's judgment was indeed correct.

After the spiritual power of the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators was exhausted, Lu Yun did not kill them all, but let them leave instead.

Toward these Foundation Establishment Cultivators, she truly did not care for them at all.

Lu Yun flew over, dug up the thousand-year purple ganoderma, and put it away.

"Let's go! To the next place." Lu Yun said to the two after returning.

...

Inside the fog, Chen Changqing's luck was neither good nor bad. He had been trapped in the fog for quite a few days, but still hadn't found a way out.

However, these days he discovered that there were quite a few Spirit Medicine fields in this fog. It looked like these Spirit Medicine fields were cultivated by someone. Yet, after running through many places, the Spirit Medicines he harvested were not very many, except that the ages of these Spirit Medicines were all very high, at least over a thousand years.

Right now, just the thousand-year Spirit Medicines in his Storage Pouch alone numbered at least twenty. With these Spirit Medicines, their overall strength would definitely rise to another level.

Seeing that he couldn't find a way out, he casually found a cave and entered secluded cultivation.

He took out the Nine-Turn Blood Lotus, peeled off a lotus seed, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Immediately, a surge of fire-attribute spiritual power instantly spread from his mouth. Chen Changqing immediately circulated his Cultivation Technique, suppressed this violent fire spiritual power, guided it into his body, and then circulated it throughout his entire body along his Meridians.

Feeling the cells in his body crazily absorbing the fire spiritual power of the blood lotus seed, some black substances slowly oozed from the surface of his body, and the Spiritual Root within his body also became purer under the baptism of this fire spiritual power.

"I didn't expect the effect of a single blood lotus seed to be so good. Not only has my Physical Body advanced further, but even the quality of my Spiritual Root is much stronger than before. Although it still cannot compare to a dual Spiritual Root, presumably eating one or two more will be about enough." Chen Changqing thought, and then he picked up two more lotus seeds and swallowed them together.

Before long, the black substance on the surface of his body covered his entire body. Smelling the foul odor on his body surface, he wore a look of disgust and casually cast a cleansing spell to wash away the black substance.

Next, he took out some thousand-year Spirit Medicines capable of increasing cultivation. Although for the vast majority of Cultivators, consuming them raw directly might waste quite a bit of medicinal power, he was Chen Changqing after all, and moreover, he had a dao bead inside his body, so he didn't need to worry about such a situation at all.

Just like that, a few days passed. He consumed three thousand-year Spirit Medicines raw, directly boosting his cultivation to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Perfection. Today, he was only a step away from Foundation Establishment.

Looking back ten years ago, he had never imagined reaching such a stage at such an age. Originally, he estimated reaching the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Perfection at the age of thirty-five, and then watching for an opportunity to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. However, plans couldn't keep up with changes; his progress was too fast, and plans simply couldn't catch up.

Now, as long as he was willing, he could attempt Foundation Establishment. Although the probability of successfully establishing the foundation was not very high, there should still be one or two tenths. However, he planned to continue consolidating his spiritual power first, and only when his spiritual power was completely perfected would he truly undergo Foundation Establishment.

Speaking of Foundation Establishment, when ordinary Cultivators underwent Foundation Establishment without taking any Foundation Establishment spirit items, as long as they were under sixty years of age, they had a ten percent chance of Breakthrough. If their willpower was firm, they could add another half or one tenth.

Meanwhile, the foundation establishment pill could provide a thirty percent chance of Foundation Establishment. If it were ordinary Foundation Establishment spirit items, it might increase it by ten or even twenty percent.

However, Foundation Establishments achieved by taking the foundation establishment pill generally rarely formed a top-grade dao foundation. If one relied on oneself for a Breakthrough, there was a quite significant probability of forming a top-grade dao foundation, or even the legendary Peerless Grade Dao Foundation.

And Chen Changqing's goal was to forge a Peerless Grade Dao Foundation.

It was simply too difficult to forge a Peerless Grade Dao Foundation; Cultivators who forged top-grade dao foundations alone were already one in ten thousand.

Even Genius Cultivators like Chen Xuanyi had only forged a High Grade Dao Foundation.

Don't look at the High Grade Dao Foundation as just the third tier; in reality, it wasn't something anyone who wanted to forge could forge. Just looking at the dozen or so Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Qinghe County, most of them were at the Medium Grade or even Low Grade.
