Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 29: The King of Qi Refining

Ever since he broke through the fourth level of Qi Refining, Yi Dong had been able to break through long ago.

But he didn't want to break through.

In the current Qi Refining stage of cultivation, the number of Qi Refining levels does not mean much.

First, there is basically no danger from the outside world, and second, the impact on combat effectiveness is relatively small.

From the fourth level to the ninth level of Qi Refining, it is just an increase in the amount of spiritual energy stored in the body.

Now that I am in the Qi stage of cultivation, my combat power is all in magic weapons and combined spells.

The magic tools that I'm practicing now are all combination magic tools, which are charged with spirit stones, and the spiritual power in my body is mainly used as a switch.

The magic tools used by modern practitioners are not like those of ancient practitioners. They rely solely on their own output, so naturally the higher the level of Qi refining, the better.

It was not until he entered the secretariat and saw the information about the Qi Refining King that Yi Dong felt fortunate that he did not blindly improve his cultivation.

I didn’t expect that there are so many pitfalls in today’s Qi training.

If you are not careful, you may miss the opportunity to build the foundation of the great way.

The Qi Refining Stage is the process of life sublimation. Basically, there is no possibility of starting over.

What is the King of Qi Refining?
The explanation given by the Taoist temple is that throughout the ages, the human race is the strongest in all the heavens and worlds, including the fairy world.

Today's practitioners pursue relative perfection. Absolute perfection basically does not exist. The King of Qi Refining is close to absolute perfection.

This kind of perfection is reflected in the Qi Refining Stage.

For example, if a person has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, even if he discards his skills and starts over again, his body and soul will still have flaws.

This kind of flaw is nothing to the ancient cultivators. After all, every step of the ancient cultivators' practice can be described as "full of mistakes and omissions". A little more or a little more loopholes is nothing to the ancient cultivators. Sometimes, the bottleneck of the realm may be relatively easier to overcome because of more loopholes.

But for Jin Xiu, at least for Jin Xiu at the current stage of the Immortal Kingdom, with the "flaw" of having to waste his efforts and start over again, he will no longer be able to become a Qi Refining King.

Although the current cultivation method can be changed again and again, once the realm is improved, the body and soul will slowly change. Even if the cultivation is lost, this change cannot be restored. At least, the books recorded in the Taoist temple's secretariat that Yi Dong saw clearly stated that it cannot be restored.

"Building a space chakra, accommodating space fragments, and refining space fragments into foundation-building seeds is the sign of becoming a Qi Refining King."

Yi Dong felt embarrassed after seeing the requirements to become a Qi Refining King.

The books in the secretary library record that the Taoist temple is constantly optimizing the spiritual power circuit that constructs the space chakra. The space chakra left by the Red Earth Taoist Temple is obviously not the latest version.

The ninety-nine higher-level Taoist academies and the Immortal Kingdom Center probably have the latest version of space chakra knowledge.

Perhaps the ninety-nine higher-level academies also have different spatial chakras.

Why is the Space Chakra so important?

Because generally speaking, there is a core in the Qi Refining Stage, and this core, in the eyes of ancient cultivators, is the Dantian.

The capacity of Dantian is the capacity of spiritual power.

Some ancient cultivation techniques can expand the Dantian by ten or dozens of times, and may be called rare and precious magical skills.

But today's cultivation is different. He directly uses his skills to construct a space chakra and uses a space fragment as a container of spiritual power. Theoretically, the bigger the space fragment, the higher the upper limit of your spiritual power.

This is much better than expanding the dantian.

No wonder today's Qi Refining King is much stronger than the ancient foundation cultivators.

Not to mention the space chakra, even the space fragments, Yi Dong had no way to capture them.

The mysteries of space are completely beyond the scope of what the Qi Refining Stage can understand.

Even if countless space fragments appeared in front of Yi Dong, let alone seeing them, even if he had special spiritual eyes that could see them, he would not be able to touch them at all.

Obviously, the spatial fragments of the Qi Refining King can only be obtained with the help of the Immortal Kingdom or the Taoist Temple.

Besides.

It doesn't mean that just any space debris will do.

Today, Xiu needs a suppressant to become the core of the space debris and suppress it all the time, so as to prevent the space debris from breaking into pieces or rioting and shattering the cultivator's body.

The suppressing object can be a natal object, a magical power, or even some special innate spiritual treasures.

Records in the secretariat indicate that the best suppressants are mountains, rivers and streams that contain spiritual veins.

Secondly, mountains, rivers and streams without spiritual veins are also acceptable.

The next are some life-giving objects made from natural treasures. Yidong’s Taichu Zixing is also at this level.

Below that is the innate spiritual treasure, and the last is the supernatural power.

In other words, the Qi Refining Kings are divided into five levels, which is determined by the size of the space fragments that can be suppressed.

Combat effectiveness will probably also be divided into these five levels.

Of course, this division is fuzzy.

For example, the third-grade natural treasures are divided into different levels, and the magical powers also have different effects.

The size of space debris suppressed by a space magic power may be close to that of a first-class Qi Refining King.

A fifth-level Qi Refining King can become a foundation-builder for the Great Dao.

However, due to the size of the foundation-building seeds, the cultivation speed and the magical instruments that can be used by first- and second-rank Qi Refining Kings during the Great Dao Foundation-building stage will often be stronger.

Your natal object cannot be refined just because you want to.

Not all life objects can become the core to suppress space debris. For example, living creatures are not good enough. Space debris does not even have the environment needed by living creatures. If living creatures enter it, they will basically die.

Plants are barely acceptable, because the Taoist Academy has already figured out how to construct the environment in which many plants and spiritual plants can grow.

There are countless mountains, rivers and streams without spiritual veins in the fairyland. Mountains, rivers and streams with spiritual veins are not a problem for many noble families. They seem to be less precious than natural treasures.

In fact, it is not the case. It is also difficult to refine the natal object.

For example, in the upper-level Taoist academies, most students can only use natural treasures to transform them into their natal objects.

There are very few people in the upper Taoist academies who can refine mountains, rivers, and even mountains and rivers containing spiritual veins into life-giving objects.

Therefore, most of the Qi Refining Kings possess the third-grade foundation-building seeds.

After seeing this information, Yi Dong became a little anxious.

I originally thought that Taichu Zixing was of little use.

He plans to use his supernatural powers to pray for longevity in the future.

But I didn't expect that the King of Qi Refining would have requirements for his natal object.

If his natal object was a first or second level spiritual plant, he would naturally choose to use his magical powers to suppress the space fragments.

After all, spiritual plants of the first or second level are not considered rare treasures no matter how you look at it.

But his natal object is of the fifth level, which is stronger than many students in the higher Taoist academies.

It was no wonder that the pacification envoy Ren Junming had such a friendly attitude before. Perhaps he showed a hint of the intention to win him over because he saw that he had a fifth-level spiritual plant as his life object and had the potential to become a Qi Refining King.

Otherwise, there is no reason for a Great Dao Golden Elixir to waste time communicating with a Qi Refiner.

If something went wrong with Taichu Zixing, his hope of becoming a third-class Qi Refining King in the future would be shattered, and he might end up only being a fifth-class Qi Refining King of the lowest level.

Yi Dong was very sure that his "Palace of Mind" was a magical power related to the soul and had basically nothing to do with spatial magical powers. With this magical power, he could suppress space fragments, and the size of the space fragments would probably not be a big deal.

Although I have not collected the latest version of the knowledge of space chakra.

There was no trace of space debris at all.

But Yi Dong was still a little anxious.

After all, the natal object, the Primordial Purple Apricot, is the key to his becoming a third-class Qi Refining King.

Although he was anxious, Yi Dong thought about it and decided not to leave immediately.

He just entered the secretary's library, looked at the information of the Qi Refining King and left in a hurry. Isn't this a crime of seducing people?

Moreover, through his contact with Yi De, Yi Dong also vaguely knew that Dongfang Hong seemed to attach great importance to his natal object.

Now, the formation of Zijin Mountain is under the control of Dongfanghong.

If I rush back, and Dongfanghong does something rash, even if I can kill him without committing a crime, I may find it difficult to accept the consequences.

"Forget it. As long as Dongfanghong hasn't hurt Taichu Zixing, I will wait another eleven years before going back, and stay out for a full twenty years."

Think of this.

Yi Dong couldn't help but sigh.

After leaving the Taoist temple, it is really difficult to practice now.

If you are not careful, you may stray from the right path and it will be difficult to recover.

There are so many pitfalls in the Qi Refining Stage, one can imagine how many taboos there are in building the foundation of the Great Dao. Do I really have a hope of becoming the Great Dao Golden Elixir?
Although the road ahead is long and difficult, Yi Dong still has no intention of joining the Taoist temple.

In his previous life, Yi Dong read some books that described a person who was constantly risking his life for immortality.

Yi Dong found it difficult to understand this approach.

Is it true that an immortal life is worth life, but a short life is worthless? Can it be used to "teach flying"?
Yi Dong would never gamble his present for an illusory future.

He knew that he didn't have the courage to forge ahead, and he probably wouldn't achieve anything in the future, and his future wouldn't be bright.

But who can blame him for being so fond of the doctrine of the mean?

If he gets what is below average, he will be satisfied; as for what is above, he will not seek anything more.

After figuring it out, Yi Dong began to read books and jade slips in the secretary library.

Most of the knowledge in the secretary library is closely related to cultivation.

It contains various analyses of ancient cultivation techniques and explorations of modern cultivation paths.

Theoretically speaking, using space debris as foundation-building seeds is not the best choice.

The best option is to refine a small world into a foundation-building seed.

However, this only exists in theory.

Because the records in the Taoist temple stated that even if a person possessed the body and soul of a true immortal and obtained the immortal treasures nurtured by the immortal world, he probably could not suppress a small world. At least, if one wanted to research the knowledge to suppress a small world from entering the body, the immortal kingdom might have to continue to develop rapidly for trillions of years before a reasonable solution could be obtained.

Some people even speculate that perhaps by suppressing the immortal world into the body and turning it into a foundation-building seed, one might reach the absolutely perfect state of the Qi Refining Stage.

Yi Dong was not surprised by this statement. It was just like in his previous life, when someone said that if you gave a fulcrum, you could lift up the entire universe. These were all theoretical things and there was no need to be surprised.

After learning all kinds of knowledge from the secretarial library, Yi Dong basically had an idea of his own skills in the Qi Refining Stage.

If he hadn't wanted to become a Qi Refining King and then build the foundation of the Great Dao, it would have taken him less than three years to become a Qi Refining Peak cultivator with a lifespan of eight or nine hundred years.
