Chapter 170: Qi Refining Level 9
Qin Zhixue has already flown eighty miles away.
Only then did she slow down slightly.
"Sister Zhixue, that person seemed ready to make a move just now, so why didn't they?" Lu Wenqing asked.
We just flew over a mountain valley.
She could already sense the intense killing intent; a powerful aura had locked onto her.
"Of course he wanted to kill me..." Qin Zhixue said slowly, "but he didn't dare... If he failed in one strike... not only would he perish, but the entire Su family would also pay a heavy price, and would be unable to rise again for the next hundred years!"
If Su Beichuan were to openly attack and kill the Core Formation seed in the valley again...
The Moon-Waning Immortal and the Valley Master can then use this opportunity to suppress the Su Clan.
After all, there was no evidence last time.
But this time, with Wan Yue Zhenren present in person, Su Beichuan had no room for excuses.
Upon hearing this, Lu Wenqing nodded slightly.
Having spent 20 years in the Ice Valley, she knew that these Core Formation cultivators also had many concerns in their actions.
After all, they were not individuals; they had the interests of a vast clan behind them, making it impossible for them to act entirely on impulse.
"Next, we need to prepare for the trip to the 'Mysterious Netherworld'!" Qin Zhixue blinked her beautiful eyes and looked into the distance.
She had two purposes for coming to Blackwind City.
Firstly, he met Yang Jiuli, obtained the secret technique, and prepared for the "Mysterious Netherworld" secret realm.
Secondly, he used himself as bait to lure Su Beichuan into making a move.
This move is extremely risky.
But if we don't get rid of Su Beichuan, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.
Although this attempt failed, giving Su Beichuan a warning is still a gain.
Sixteen years later, when I reach the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, I will be even more confident.
……
Black Wind Formation, No. 9, Earth Courtyard.
Yang Jiuli returned to his cave.
At this moment, his brows relaxed, and the anxiety he had been feeling finally subsided.
He gained a lot from this meeting with Qin Zhixue.
First, he realized that no one was targeting him, but rather trying to use him to lure out Qin Zhixue.
Sun Bufan was just a pawn.
The Core Formation cultivator behind it all only wanted to deal with Qin Zhixue.
Whether it succeeds or what the final result is, is not important.
As a Core Formation cultivator, he didn't care about the lives or deaths of the cultivators below.
He just wanted to create an opportunity.
An opportunity to intercept and kill Qin Zhixue.
Even if things don't work out in the end, it doesn't matter.
We can simply discard Sun Bufan as a chess piece.
Secondly, Yang Jiuli learned that Li Hongtai had already gathered all the ingredients for the "Replenishing Vitality and Correcting Self Pill".
This news is extremely important.
With the medicinal materials successfully gathered, it means that Li Hongtai will be preparing to form his core in the next few years.
There will certainly be another major upheaval during this period.
Yang Jiuli should also remain vigilant at all times.
Fortunately, his mental strength has successfully advanced to the second level, and his overall combat power has soared.
Unless a fake cultivator intervenes, he has a chance to escape unscathed.
It can be said that Yang Jiuli's decision to take a gamble and go to the Black Wind Mountains to pick the 'Yin Sha Xuan Ling Fruit' was extremely correct. Otherwise, he would have had a hard time dealing with the turmoil in the next few years and it would have brought him a lot of trouble.
But things are different now.
He could simply sit back and watch the situation change.
最后:
Yang Jiuli exchanged all the resources he obtained from Yan Jiuming and others through Qin Zhixue in order to find Foundation Establishment spiritual objects.
In this way, he would not only be spared the trouble of exchanging spoils of war, but he would also have a better chance of acquiring his own Foundation Establishment spiritual item.
After all, Qin Zhixue was in a third-tier immortal sect, and her resources and information were a level higher than those of Yang Jiuli and those rogue cultivators.
They also had the opportunity to acquire treasures that many ordinary noble families could not obtain.
Even if Qin Zhixue cannot.
Her master, Master Wanyue, also likely had connections.
As for Yang Jiuli himself...
He was just an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator. Even if he had a lot of money, how could he possibly raise a third-tier Foundation Establishment spiritual item?
Even if there is...
If he makes a deal with the other party, he may be targeted as a cash cow, which could lead to a huge uproar.
However, as a disciple of a third-tier immortal sect, Qin Zhixue had many more tricks up her sleeve when it came to trading.
As for Yang Jiuli's instruction to Qin Zhixue to come find him again 16 years later before heading to the "Mysterious Netherworld".
But they had other plans.
First of all: Yang Jiuli still has a soul technique that he has not yet passed on to Qin Zhixue.
For example: "Soul Tide" and "Soul Binding Technique".
These are two top-tier soul techniques; the stronger one's spiritual sense, the more terrifying their power becomes when unleashed.
Yang Jiuli had his own reasons for holding back.
After all, this kind of secret technique is astonishing.
Giving away too much of this is ultimately not a good thing.
If Qin Zhixue finds a foundation-building spiritual object for Yang Jiuli within 16 years.
In this way, it would be perfectly legitimate for him to pass the message on to Qin Zhixue ahead of time.
It can be considered a transaction between the two parties.
In addition, during these 16 years, Yang Jiuli also planned to prepare some more life-saving measures for Qin Zhixue.
For example, upgrade the talisman-making skill to the third level of accuracy.
With a large number of near-third-tier talismans protecting her, Qin Zhixue would be able to fight even a fake Core Formation cultivator.
In addition, Qin Zhixue's own mastery of formations made her even more at ease in the 'Mysterious Netherworld'!
The Mysterious Netherworld contains numerous spiritual items for those in the mid-Foundation Establishment and even Core Formation stages. If Qin Zhixue can gain something from it...
Yang Jiuli could also save himself the trouble of collecting spiritual items.
It can be said that his investment in Qin Zhixue was an investment in himself.
"Next, I should focus on improving my cultivation and strive to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining!" Yang Jiuli murmured to himself.
He decided to accelerate his cultivation and no longer suppress his progress.
……
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
Yang Jiuli has been staying at the Li family's residence in Yunmeng Lake for twenty-three years.
……
February 6th.
晴：
Azure Flame Immortal Sect.
Qingyun Peak.
A pavilion on a mountaintop
Mu Jinchuan and Li Hongtai played a game of Go.
Mu Shoushan and Li Zhanfei stood to the side.
This time, Li Hongtai was not distracted, but he still made a mistake and lost to Mu Jinchuan.
It was already dusk.
The sunset painted the clouds in the mountains like auspicious colors.
"Hehe, Hongtai, you've lost again!" Mu Jinchuan smiled slightly.
"Master's chess skills are extraordinary; I, Hongtai, am completely outmatched!" Li Hongtai cupped his hands and smiled.
Mu Jinchuan smiled slightly and said, "You are calm and collected... taking things one step at a time. Given time, you will eventually surpass me!"
"I dare not..." Li Hongtai said, "How can my skills compare to those of the Sect Leader?"
Beside him, Li Zhanfei poured wine for the sect leader, Mu Jinchuan.
Mu Jinchuan took a sip, then said, "Hongtai, the medicinal herbs have been gathered. When are you going to start refining the pills?"
"Hongtai plans to start production on the eighth day of next month," Li Hongtai said.
"The eighth day..." Mu Jinchuan asked, "How confident are you?"
"Sixty percent!" Li Hongtai said.
For the past three years, he has been refining third-tier pills and accumulating experience.
The purpose was to successfully refine the "Replenishing Vitality and Restoring Self Pill" in one fell swoop.
After all, there is only one serving of this medicine.
If it fails, raising funds again is almost impossible!
As for giving the medicinal materials to others to refine...
Li Hongtai was not at ease.
After all, it concerns his future.
How could we entrust the grand plan of the Li family, which concerns the entire family for thousands of years, to others?
"Sixty percent?" Mu Jinchuan stroked his beard, glanced at Li Hongtai, and smiled. "In that case, I await your good news!"
Li Hongtai said he was 60% sure, which meant he was close to 80%, so Mu Jinchuan breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he had invested a lot of resources in Li Hongtai, so he naturally hoped that this young man could successfully form his core.
"Rest assured, Sect Leader, I have been preparing for many years and will not let you down. However, recently the Golden Cloud Sect..." Li Hongtai's eyes flickered as he looked at Mu Jinchuan. He was implying that the Golden Cloud Sect and other forces might take the opportunity to disturb his alchemy.
"With me here within the sect, no one can disturb your alchemy," Mu Jinchuan said with considerable authority.
An aura of authority emanated from him, making him imposing without being angry.
"In that case, I will have to trouble the Sect Leader to protect us!" Li Hongtai stood up and bowed.
"Don't worry," Mu Jinchuan waved his hand, gesturing for Li Hongtai to sit down, and said, "I have watched you grow to this point... how can I allow others to obstruct your path?"
"My Li clan owes its current prosperity entirely to the support of the Mu clan. Hongtai and the clansmen will never forget this, now and forever!" Li Hongtai said, expressing his loyalty and informing Mu Jinchuan that even after he reaches the Core Formation stage, he will remain of one heart with the Mu clan.
"Hehe, the Yun family and the Li family are old friends. We should uphold our ancestral teachings and be brothers!" Mu Jinchuan said.
"However, the Taibai Sect and the Jinxia Sect have been getting along very closely lately, so you should be careful."
"If it were only the Golden Cloud Sect, my Azure Flame Immortal Sect would have nothing to fear... but if the Tai Bai Sect gets involved, things could get very bad."
"Rest assured, Master, I have already made plans... I will never let the Golden Cloud Sect succeed," Li Hongtai said.
"That's excellent!" Mu Jinchuan nodded slightly.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Hongtai took his leave.
A little while later.
Li Hongtai arrived at Hongyan Peak.
"Give the order: no one is to enter my temple!" Upon reaching the mountain peak, Li Hongtai spoke with considerable authority.
"Yes!" Li Zhanfei nodded, his heart pounding with excitement, knowing that his great-grandfather was preparing to refine a third-tier "Replenishing Vitality and Restoring Self Pill".
……
February 9th.
early morning.
Yang Jiuli looked inward at the data next to the Three Lives Stone.
Name: Yang Jiuli.

Alchemy Skill: Second-tier, low-grade. Successfully completed the "Dragon Ginseng Soul-Strengthening Pill" and the "Great Blood Qi Pill".

Spiritual energy attribute:
Gold: (58/58)
Wood: (96/99)
Water: (66/66)
Fire: (79/79)
Earth: (51/51)
"Wood attribute 96!" Yang Jiuli glanced at his Green Wood attribute data and was slightly pleased.
"If it's raised to 99... then it'll be close to the legendary 'Heavenly Spiritual Root'!"
He thought to himself, then opened his eyes, withdrawing his mind from his sea of consciousness; a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
The Heavenly Spiritual Root, also known as the Innate Spiritual Root.
Such individuals are born with a perfect affinity for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Once they begin their cultivation, they will advance rapidly and achieve the potential of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
In his previous life, Yang Jiuli had also seen several such prodigies in the "Dayan Kingdom," and they were all taken in by fourth-tier immortal sects.
Even after Yang Jiuli became a Core Formation True Person, he couldn't help but feel a little envious whenever he saw such a person.
Now, thanks to the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique" and the wisp of "Azure Wood Origin" he refined in the past, his spiritual root has undergone a transformation.
It has clearly developed a foundation close to that of a "Heavenly Spiritual Root".
This gave Yang Jiuli a new goal for his future plans.
That is: Nascent Soul Formation.
During the foundation building and core formation stages, we strive to lay a solid foundation for this goal.
Only with a solid foundation can one have the opportunity to achieve enlightenment.
Such as:
The foundation for the Dao is close to the fourth level.
A perfectly formed golden elixir.
That's why he asked Qin Zhixue to find a high-level Foundation Establishment spiritual item like the "Heart of Green Wood" for him back then.
"I have been at the ninth level of Qi Refining for half a year now. At this rate, I will be able to break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining in three years."
Yang Jiuli whispered.
