Chapter 23 Qi Refinement Level-6
In the water mansion, Chen Mobai sat on the meditation cushion.
Waves of light representing the five elements appeared on his face. After flashing past one by one, they finally turned into a deep yellow color.
This meant that the Five Elements Technique circulated for one full cycle before turning into platinum. Then, metal gave birth to water… The five elements complemented each other and constantly rotated. After nine cycles, a trace of sweat appeared on Chen Mobai’s forehead.
After a month of cultivation, under the nourishment of the Rank-2 spiritual energy in the water mansion, he finally reached the peak of Level-5 in the Five Elements Technique.
When the time came, he had to break through in one go.
This was what Master Qing Ping had said. Chen Mobai now respected everything this Venerable Nascent Soul had said. Without any hesitation, he felt that he was already at the last step and swallowed a Purple Fire Pill in his mouth.
Although this kind of breakthrough pill was only 20% to 30% effective in breaking through Qi Refinement Level-6, it was the best Chen Mobai could buy.
There were no less than 10,000 types of immortal pills and spiritual water in the immortal sect, but those that could help cultivators break through cultivation barriers were always the most popular.
For example, no such pill was sold in ordinary pharmacies. Even if there was, it would at most increase the success rate by 5% or 10%.
If ordinary cultivators wanted to buy good things, they could only hope that the pills periodically released by the large pharmaceutical factories or the official flagship stores of the immortal sects were basically top-notch.
The Purple Fire Pill was one of them.
After the pill entered his stomach, the sugar coating on the surface was instantly melted by spiritual energy. Then, a gentle Yang energy spread out and instantly spread throughout his body.
Chen Mobai’s Five Elements Technique, which had been circulated to the extreme, seemed to have been pushed and suddenly advanced to Level-6.
However, that didn’t mean he’d broken through successfully. It was easy to break through, but the most important thing was to stabilize his realm after breaking through.
A wisp of purple gas faintly appeared between his eyebrows.
Purple qi rose slightly like fireworks, but it was about to extinguish in the next moment.
This meant that the medicinal power had begun to run out, and he had only completed half of the full cycle in the Five Elements Technique. If he could not finish a complete circulation, it meant that he had failed this breakthrough
However, Chen Mobai was not in a hurry. He stabilized his mind and placed his hand on a Spirit Stone beside him.
Although it was his first time refining a Spirit Stone, he had found a lot of information about this on the Auxiliary Cultivation app. He already knew the main points and taboos.
With the help of the Spirit Stone, Chen Mobai’s realm, which was about to fall, stabilized again. He even easily completed a full cycle.
He had successfully broken through to Qi Refinement Level-6!
Chen Mobai opened his eyes. He had a peaceful expression and couldn’t help but laugh heartily. His hard work for the past month had not been in vain.
Of course, although there were many factors that allowed him to break through to Qi Refinement Level-6, he knew very well that the greatest credit for being able to break through in a month was still Master Qing Ping’s lecture videos.
A mighty figure in the Nascent Soul Realm had explained the Qi Refinement Chapter of the Five Elements Technique thoroughly.
For the past month, Chen Mobai had been watching his videos in school during the day and coming to the water mansion at night to apply what he had learned. In addition, he had the spiritual energy of this Rank-2 treasure land, the Purple Fire Pill, and the help of the Spirit Stone. He felt that if he still could not break through, he would really be stupid.
“Should I prepare to change my cultivation technique?”
After being excited for a while, Chen Mobai quickly calmed down and returned to reality.
The immortal sect had a rule that when any cultivator started from the Qi Cultivation Realm, they had to cultivate the Five Elements Technique. At the Qi Refinement Level-7, they could choose to continue cultivating the Five Elements Technique or change to other cultivation techniques.
The advantages and disadvantages of the Five Elements Technique were very obvious. For cultivators with ordinary Spiritual Roots, their cultivation speed would not be slow, but their combat ability was average. However, the adaptive spiritual power of the Five Elements Technique allowed it to be converted into any attribute cultivation technique without any obstacles.
Chen Mobai’s mother, Tang Pancui, cultivated the Five Elements Technique. She had been stuck at Qi Refinement Level-6 for many years, but her mentality was very good.
As for Chen Mobai’s father, Chen Xinglan, he had switched to the “Fuse Technique” that he had learned from the Crimson Afterglow College at his own expense. He was now at Qi Refinement Level-8 and worked in a workshop of a magic artifact factory. His company provided free superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy to its employees. In order to save money, he spent most of his time at the company.
Meanwhile, the National Library of the immortal sect had an artificial primordial spirit. As long as one entered his Spiritual Root attribute, it would automatically match the user to the most suitable cultivation technique book.
He only needed to spend one point to try this function.
Chen Mobai had tried it before when he was bored. Then, the artificial primordial spirit gave him the Five Elements Technique, which made his face turn green on the spot.
This meant that although he had a True Spiritual Root, it was basically no different from having a pseudo Spirit Root.
However, things were different now.
Thinking of this, Chen Mobai turned on his phone and opened the National Library app. However, he immediately realized that his phone had no signal.
“I almost forgot that only the Auxiliary Cultivation app, which has an agent in the Turtle Treasure app, receives a signal in the water mansion…”
Chen checked the time. It was still early, but he decided to go back early. With the Purple Fire Pill, he could not cultivate for a period of time after breaking through. He could only use the Qi Nourishing Spell to nourish his meridians. However, Chen Mobai used the pure spiritual energy in the Spirit Stone in the latter half of the cycle. It seemed that the Yang fire effect of the pill was completely neutralized. He did not feel that his meridians were as full as when he broke through to Qi Refinement Level-5.
It was as if his cultivation of the sixth level of Qi Refinement had completely stabilized without the need for nourishment.
However, to be safe, Chen Mobai did not continue cultivating today.
There was no hurry. Cultivation had to be balanced.
Just as he put away the Spirit Stone that he had sucked dry, a sudden pop-up window abruptly appeared on his phone screen.
(Do you wish to enable the Agent function?]
“Eh?”
After a short moment of surprise, Chen Mobai thought of how much Master Qing Ping’s lecture video had helped him. He was about to say (Yes).
However, just as his finger was about to press down, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He recalled the Level-5 halo after he had activated the agent in the “Auxiliary Cultivation” app. His face instantly turned pale.
His hand trembled, and he was so shocked that he immediately clicked ‘No’.
This was the National Library, the foundation of the immortal sect, not some app from a small workshop.
Once he became a Level-5 user of the National Library, the three halls of the immortal sect would find this person even if they had to search the entire Planet Earth.
However, it was a pity to give up on this agent.
He quickly opened the Turtle Treasure app and could not help but be relieved to see that the (Agent] button was glowing, indicating that it could be used.
How exactly was this feature triggered?
Chen Mobai thought about how he had just broken through to Qi Refinement Level-6. Could it be that he could activate this function once every time he broke through?
But why had he waited for days the last time?
Was it because this breakthrough was perfect and his realm was stable?
