Chapter 300: Chapter 175: Dan God Secret Realm Reopens_2

Over the past year, Liu Qiao Ling’s health had mostly recovered to the point where she was almost like a normal person. Just occasionally, she’d find herself thinking back to those painful memories.

After assessing Liu Qiao Ling’s health condition, Gold Sword Zen Ren asked her if she would like to erase this painful memory or keep it.

After several days of consideration, Liu Qiao Ling decided to keep these memories. She didn’t want to continue living in ignorance.

Ultimately, Gold Sword Zen Ren respected her decision and arranged for her to live in the Qing Yun Immortal City while taking care of the accounting for a Spirit Rice shop owned by the Liu Yun Sect.

Upon learning of Liu Qiao Ling’s decision, Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh. Such a strong-willed girl’s life had nearly been destroyed by that bastard Feng Yu Cheng, who deserved to be torn to pieces for what he had done.

Together, he, Senior Brother Zhou Yun Feng, and Second Senior Sister Qi Jing Yu ensured Liu Qiao Ling’s safety in her new environment, making sure no one could bully her.

Apart from this, Gold Sword Zen Ren also personally evaluated Lin Yi’s progress in studying the blade over the past year. When Lin Yi demonstrated his skill in swordsmanship, he garnered praises from his Master, who encouraged him to keep training.

Lin Yi continued his cultivation as planned. After reaching the sixth level of foundation building, his [Student] second tier title only allowed for a single point increase in cultivation levels every six hours.

Moreover, this only happened when cultivators at the perfect stage of foundation building were teaching him. The lower the level of the cultivator giving the lecture, the longer the time needed to increase his cultivation level.

As his title level increased, the time taken to increase his cultivation level also increased by six hours. This was the challenge brought about by enhancing his cultivation level. Sometimes, a single level’s difference could be what decided the outcome of a battle.

At this stage, mid-stage Foundation Building Cultivators’ lectures could no longer enhance his cultivation level even by half a point. Studying needed to be conducted amongst those better than oneself.

Three years later, Lin Yi had reached the seventh level of the Foundation Building stage, officially entering its late stages. His outward cultivation level had also reached the second level of Foundation Building.

At this point, his [Student] rank was still at the second level. Under the teaching of a cultivator who had reached the realm of Great Perfection in the Foundation Building stage, he needed almost thirty hours of study time to gain a single point of cultivation.

However, studying with Pill Immortal Master, Lin Yi could gain seven points of cultivation per hour as a Grade Two [Student]. The effectiveness could hardly be improved further.

Unfortunately, the Pill Immortal Master was unable to teach him constantly. Even two times a month were quite rare. Still, even then, he could gain at least 14 points of cultivation a month, which was quite thrilling.

Added to the 40-hour monthly study time which added 5 points of experience, he could gain a minimum of 19 points of cultivation each month. It would only take three to four years to reach the seventh level of the Foundation Building stage.

In these three years, his fourth senior brother, Yuan Cheng Hua, who had been wandering around outside for nearly 20 years, also returned to the Sect. He came back filled with injuries, almost damaging his cultivation base—but he still seemed to wear a happy-go-lucky expression.

Only a month after his return, Yuan Cheng Hua hastily asked Golden Sword Zen Ren to gather the close disciples; he wanted to meet the new disciple who joined while he was away.

In Golden Sword Hall, Lin Yi met his fourth senior brother. With his carefree expression, he looked like an idler who couldn’t remain still.

After meeting Xie Jing Xing, Yuan Cheng Hua approached him with a hefty grin, “Junior Brother Lin, I haven’t been back for many days, but I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“Oh, Fourth Senior Brother is too flattering. I’m just an ordinary cultivator,” Lin Yi replied with a cough.

Yuan Cheng Hua pointed at Lin Yi and said with a smile, “Look, you’ve even become more cautious now. That’s not good. Cultivators should be carefree. I’ll take you to explore the world someday and you’ll absolutely love that kind of life.”

“Cheng Hua, do you still remember what I told you?” Zhou Yun Feng intervened at this point.

“Oh, right! Junior Brother Lin is being watched and can’t leave for the time being. Well, we’ll wait until everything blows over.” Yuan Cheng Hua slapped his forehead and laughed. After chatting with Lin Yi a while longer, he finally went to meet the other junior brothers.

Lin Yi’s cultivation plan was not disrupted in the slightest by Yuan Cheng Hua’s arrival. Even though this Fourth Senior Brother often wanted to take him out for some fun, Lin Yi always declined gracefully.

As Lin Yi had analyzed, Brother Yuan was restless. After recovering from his injuries in the sect for two or three years, he was off to wander again.

This made Lin Yi admire him. Not to mention anything else, Brother Yuan’s ability to preserve his own life was truly unparalleled. He was seemingly reckless, but in reality, he had a cautious heart.

Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the twentieth year since the opening of Dan God’s Cave Mansion, and the twelfth year after the Feng Yu Cheng incident. At the beginning of the year, the rosy glow of Dan God’s Secret Realm appeared within the boundary of the Sky Sword Sect.

However, the members of the Sky Sword Sect weren’t overly excited. Although the opening of Dan God’s Secret Realm within their sect boundary meant they didn’t have to compete with other sects for entrance and could gain the most spots, what they really wanted was a good fight.

As for the location of the opening of Dan God’s Secret Realm, Lin Yi didn’t meddle at all. Even if he could change the will of the Pill Immortal Master, he wouldn’t do it.

Because to him, it didn’t matter where Dan God’s Secret Realm opened.

On the contrary, if it were to open within the bounds of the Liu Yun Sect again, people would definitely suspect whether a disciple in the Liu Yun Sect had obtained the inheritance of Dan God.

Then, the first person they would suspect would be him, because only he had obtained the precious spiritual grass from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.

The day after the rosy aura of Dan God’s Secret Realm manifested within the Sky Sword Sect, Golden Sword Zen Ren assembled all his disciples and proclaimed this news. Since it was opened in another sect this time, each of the Nine Major Sects would obtain five certain spots.

The remaining fourteen spots would be contested among the Nine Major Sects. The first place would get six spots, the second place would get four spots, the third place would get three spots, and the fourth place would get one spot.

Therefore, they need to send out the Qi Refining Disciples to participate in the sect’s selection battle first. The three victorious disciples would then compete in the Secret Realm quota battle among the Nine Major Sects.

Some disciples at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining were very excited. After all, Lin Yi had become a direct disciple through the Dan God’s Secret Realm, and they felt they had the same opportunity.

After the mobilization meeting was over and all the disciples dispersed, Lin Yi received a message from Master Golden Sword Zen Ren to come to Golden Sword Hall.

With a solemn expression, Golden Sword Zen Ren said, “Lin Yi, the reappearance of the Dan God’s Secret Realm will undoubtedly cause some to try to pry some secrets from you. Therefore, it’s best not to leave the Liu Yun Sect recently.”

The opening of the Dan God’s Secret Realm represents the chance to obtain the precious spiritual grass from the medicine garden. Naturally, some people will target Lin Yi, wanting to extract the deeper secrets of the Giant Spirit Tree’s precious spiritual grass from him.

“Master, I have no intention of leaving the sect. I will definitely cultivate to the Golden Core Realm within the sect,” Lin Yi replied with a smile.

Twelve years had passed since the Feng Yu Cheng incident,and his cultivation level had reached the Foundation Building Eighth Level, which was nearly two hundred points away from the ninth level.

After reaching the Foundation Building Eighth Level, the time he needed to increase a single point of cultivation had reached fifteen hours. With the fixed forty-hour studying time every month, he could increase less than three points of cultivation.

Fortunately, by relying on the guidance of Pill Immortal Master, he was able to advance to the Foundation Building Eighth Level from the Fifth Level within twelve years.

In contrast, other Foundation Building Cultivators, even those with Top-grade Spiritual Roots, would need at least several decades.

It was like Senior Brother Zhou Yun Feng. He had Supreme-grade Spirit Root, and it was rumored that he was being adopted as a direct disciple by Golden Sword Zen Ren since he was young. He reached the Great Completion of Qi Refining around the age of twenty and achieved the Great Perfection Realm of Foundation Building before the age of 120.

Even if we calculate based on 100 years, it took him about seventy to eighty years to advance from Foundation Building First Level to Great Perfection.

And now, he just took twenty years to go from Foundation Building First Level to Eighth Level. Presumably, he wouldn’t need forty years to reach the Foundation Building Great Perfection and even break through to the Golden Core Realm to become a True Person. If it were spread out, it would definitely shock the entire Cultivation World.
