Chapter 101 Seeing Lin Qing Again

Chapter 101 Seeing Lin Qing Again
As the spirit boat glided through the clouds, everyone looked back at the increasingly distant Beiya Mountain.

Some people are wondering when they can come back to visit again.

Some people are reminiscing about the spectacular Flower Festival.

Song Yan was thinking about that night, when he faced Cong Yuzhen, the yellow-robed demonic cultivator, and that sword strike that didn't seem particularly powerful.

"That demonic cultivator, like the senior, is also at the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Moreover, he was protected by ghostly energy... yet he was still slain by a single sword strike from his senior..."

He thought to himself, if it weren't for his senior brother Lu Ziye telling him that the other party was a renowned cultivator with extraordinary spiritual roots from the Sheyang Sect, he would have really thought he had encountered a fellow sword cultivator.

"Will I be able to forge a sword like that one day?"

……

Two days later.

The mountain gate of Dongyuan Sect came into view.

Although Beiya Mountain is beautiful, the familiar Rudaoping still brings peace of mind.

After leaving the three outer disciples at the Entry Platform, Lu Ziye needed to go to the Inner Sect's Taiping Peak to report back.

This place is very close to both Qingye Peak, where the outer sect cultivators live, and Lianyou Peak.

Gu Qingqing bid farewell to her two senior brothers and returned to Lianyou Peak.

"Qingfeng, I have to go to the market first. You can go back first."

"it is good."

Returning to the cave now would only be for rest, so we might as well go find Granny Qin first.

You can also ask about the Breakthrough Pill while you're at it.

Lingyuanze Market, the Worry-Relieving General Store.

Still the same.

"Grandma Qin~"

Huh?
The door wasn't locked, but when they pushed it open, Grandma Qin wasn't in the shop.

However, there was a note on the table.

"Yesheng, your mother-in-law has some business to attend to at her clan's residence these few days."

"If you return from Beiya Mountain, you can cultivate on your own. Don't let it interfere with your cultivation."

"Qin Xijun, stay."

Within the clan?

Granny Qin also has a family backing her up...

Yet I've never heard her mention it.

However, these are their family matters, and it's none of his business.

It was getting late, so I left the flower tea cakes I brought from Beiya Mountain and returned to Qingye Peak.

This trip to Beiya Mountain lasted for more than ten days.

Back in his own cave, a faint sense of relaxation washed over him.

Xiao He immediately ran to her "toy area," checking to see if it had been robbed, and adding some new toys she had acquired in Beiya Mountain.

Take off your clothes and walk into the pool.

The slight feeling of fatigue was wiped away.

The moonlight outside the cave flowed slowly down through the cave's skylight.

Looking into the distance, apart from the low-lying Wendao Gorge, the main peaks of Dongyuan Sect can be vaguely seen.

Occasionally, streaks of light streak across the clouds in the night sky.

Chi Zhongsong closed his eyes, and his originally restless mind gradually calmed down.

His first priority now is to find a breakthrough pill that can help him break through the Qi Refining stage.

In the late stage of Qi Refining, regardless of the level, the barriers to breakthrough are extremely difficult to overcome.

Perhaps there really are cultivators in this world who can break through to higher realms without needing elixirs, relying solely on their own spiritual power.

Song Yan was not confident.

Now, with the fusion of the supreme spiritual object and the intangible spiritual intent, the speed at which the Sword Dao Seed absorbs spiritual energy has begun to approach that of dual spiritual roots.

It can be described as a pretty good level.

However, it seems that he is still far from being able to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining without the help of external forces.

When ordinary cultivators reach the bottleneck of the late stage of Qi Refining and are preparing to break through, they can only rely on their own spiritual power to break through the barrier if there is no external assistance.

If you fail, although you won't regress in your cultivation level, you'll have to start over, and both your mental strength and spiritual energy will decline to varying degrees.

Especially the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage. Each failure gradually increases the difficulty of breaking through.

As for the tenth level of Qi Refining, it's just a common way of saying it.

It represents the peak of spiritual energy accumulation at the ninth level of Qi Refining, where there is no bottleneck.

If there is anything to it, it is the foundation building stage.

Song Yan's idea was very simple: he had to be fully prepared for all three barriers in the late stage of Qi Refining and break through them in one go!

Once you break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, you can advance to the inner sect.

After a rough estimate, the sword energy contained in the flying sword "Lianli" and the useless sword box saved him at least half a year of arduous training.

Now all that's needed is to diligently hone one's spiritual power and wait for the opportunity to obtain a breakthrough pill.

Besides the Yellow Sprout Pills used for daily cultivation, there were also three Spirit Condensation Pills sent by the Xuan Yuan Sect.

This thing doesn't really qualify as a breakthrough pill, but Song Yan still plans to keep it.

If the breakthrough pill is taken at that time, there will still be a gap in spiritual power, so it can be used as a remedy.

There are many types of Breakthrough Pills, and they can appear at auctions in Lingyuanze Market or Lingxi Market.

But it depends on luck.

In fact, sects also have similar medicinal pills as exchange items, which require contribution points to exchange.

Since joining the game, I've accumulated quite a few contribution points. Including this trip to Beiya Mountain, I should have around 190 contribution points.

However, such special pills are usually snapped up as soon as they are released by the sect.

Some of these were older disciples who had no hope of breaking through, and they earned them through their contributions to give back to their families.

Some of them are cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Refining, who no longer need to break through to the next minor realm of Qi Refining. They exchange them for auctions and sell the spiritual resources to support their future Foundation Establishment.

The remaining small group consists of cultivators who are truly facing a breakthrough and who constantly keep an eye on the sect's treasury for updates.

The chances of successfully exchanging it now are extremely slim, but he still plans to try his luck tomorrow.

……

The following day. Inner Gate, Lingquan Peak.

Song Yan walked out of the side hall of the treasure vault.

Unsurprisingly, not to mention genuine Breakthrough Pills, even "Spirit Condensation Pills" are in short supply.

They were all pills with negligible breakthrough effects.

I feel a little depressed.

"If we place all our hopes on Lingyuanze Night Market and Lingxifang outside the sect..."

They're like headless flies...

We could have asked the amazing Granny Qin, but she's gone back to her hometown to visit relatives.

Among the sect members, only a few were on good terms with him.

Qingfeng and Qingqing have not yet reached the late stage of Qi Refining. Even if there is news about the Breakthrough Pill, there is no need to tell me, as it would only add to the competition.

In desperation, he remembered someone.

"Senior Brother Lin Qing...do you know anything about this?"

Although Senior Brother Lin has not yet reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

But asking along the way doesn't take much effort.

At worst, we can wait for Granny Qin to come back. She's incredibly resourceful; we can just ask her.

Following the location of Senior Brother Lin's inner sect cave, Song Yan couldn't help but sigh, "Inner sect disciples live so well."

We arrived at Senior Brother Lin's cave.

"Om-"

A flash of inspiration was infused into the transmission talisman.

A moment later, the cave's spiritual array slowly opened.

A slender figure emerged from among them.

Lin Qing's complexion was very bad.
