I awakened the cultivation panel.

Chapter 104 Advanced Qi Refiner, Soaring Through the Clouds! (3K)

In the end, the aunt chose to stay and accompany Zhang Yue to the hospital, and would pick her up later when Chen Wenjie finished his business.

Zhang Yue's mother went home to rest first and will come back to relieve him tomorrow morning.

Everyone else went home.

The most dangerous hurdle has passed; all that's left is to focus on postpartum care, which shouldn't be a problem for Zhang Yue's family.

When the baby turns one month old, if a celebration is to be held, Chen Jingle will inevitably have to go along.

"We'll see then."

……

In the following days, considering that the Qi Refiner profession was about to break through to the advanced level, Chen Jingle did not go anywhere and focused on cultivating at home.

In the middle of the night, Li Shiming sent him a message, asking him as always if he wanted to go out for dinner together.

But he was about to advance in his level and had no interest in going out for a stroll, so he chose to refuse.

"Sorry, I've been a bit busy these past few days. Let's talk about it later."

Chen Jingle replied.

When it comes to matters related to cultivation, there's nothing he can compromise on for the time being; everything has to wait.

"Ok."

Li Shiming couldn't help but feel regretful and asked, "How long will it take to finish?"

It's not that there's no one else to eat with besides Chen Jingle, but there's definitely a big difference between same-sex friends and opposite-sex friends.

What's more, Chen Jingle gave her a very special feeling, and she was already starting to get hooked.

"Next week, I'll be free then."

Chen Jingle replied casually.

He's still quite interested in food and drink, and having a food guide like this saves him a lot of trouble. Maintaining this hobby at least brings some excitement to his life.

"Okay, then next week."

Li Shiming, who was initially somewhat disappointed, suddenly became overjoyed.

Chen Jingle tossed his phone aside and continued with his work.

If nothing unexpected happens, this breakthrough will, like before, require a large amount of energy.

In the past, he relied on eating large amounts of food to replenish the energy he needed, but now he can solve this problem by using the Bigu Yangyuan Pill.

The function of Bigu Pills is probably known to everyone; they are used to solve the problem of eating.

These kinds of elixirs are actually food, or medicinal cuisine, rather than simply medicine.

It is made by combining various ingredients with concentrated medicinal herbs and refining them. After taking it, it can solve the problem of hunger. One pill is enough to maintain normal physiological functions for ten days to half a month.

The principle is somewhat similar to compressed biscuits, but it is undoubtedly more advanced.

The refining process is not particularly difficult.

Chen Jingle prepared two batches in advance to ensure that he would be replenished immediately after breaking through, and that the intense hunger would not affect his normal state.

The feeling of being starving after advancing to that level was truly unbearable. After experiencing it once, he resolutely refused to try it a second time.

With the addition of Moon Dew, even if one is so hungry that they could eat an elephant, these supplies should be enough.

Then there are various auxiliary talismans for calming the mind and protecting the body.

Although his breakthrough at this level is unlikely to attract inner demons or tribulations, it's better to be prepared and prevent any unexpected events from happening.

Arrange everything!

It's best if you can use it, but it's not a waste if you can't, since talismans only take effect when triggered.

……

Everything was ready, and it was already late at night.

After several days of focused practice, Chen Jingle is now just 50 experience points away from advancing to the next level.

It can be obtained in less than an hour.

Chen Jingle was already looking forward to it and was somewhat excited. He quickly took a deep breath to calm himself down and get into the zone.

Time slips away unnoticed during cultivation.

When you've accumulated the last bit of cultivation experience, advancing to the next level will be a natural progression.

There are absolutely no bottlenecks to speak of.

Chen Jingle's aura suddenly changed, and a powerful aura soared into the sky, causing all the animals within a radius of dozens of miles to bow their heads and dare not move.

The talismans that were originally placed around the area to ward off unexpected situations were completely ineffective.

Fortunately, most people will only feel a little uncomfortable while sleeping, and will return to normal once the aura dissipates.

What followed was an overwhelming feeling of hunger.

Chen Jingle dared not delay and quickly took the prepared Bigu Yangyuan Pill, and then drank two bottles of diluted Moon Dew before he felt normal again.

He didn't understand the concepts of "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top" and "Five Elements Returning to the Origin" before, but he does now.

At this moment, my entire being can only be described with two words—

Transparent!
It felt so light and refreshing, like a pure and ethereal energy descending from the sky and spreading throughout the body, making joyful and pleasant sounds from every pore of the body and even the internal organs.

A state that only advanced Qi cultivators can experience!
Coming to his senses, Chen Jingle felt the surging power within him and subconsciously clenched his fist: "I've definitely gotten stronger!"

He can now easily outperform 100 versions of himself from his mid-level days.

The power of hierarchy is terrifying!
The panel's five-dimensional attributes were doubled, leaving Chen Jingle utterly astonished.

Wow, that's a bit of an exaggeration.

Looking at the experience requirement in parentheses after the profession on the panel, it has changed to (0/100000).

One hundred thousand!

Chen Jingle took a deep breath: "This is going to be tough."

It took more than two months to gain a mere 10,000 experience points, so you can imagine how long it would take to increase it tenfold.

However, if you extend the timeline, it's actually not so bad.

After all, it took Han Laomo a full 11 years to go from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, so his cultivation speed is even more exaggerated. Chen Jingle wasn't sure what the next realm would be; it shouldn't be a leap to the Nascent Soul or Deity Transformation realm, which would require ascension to the upper realms. Currently, he was at a stage that was already extraordinary, but hadn't yet reached a world-shaking stage.

There is still a lot of room for improvement.

"Once you reach the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stage, even if you can't physically withstand the mushroom egg, you should be able to dodge it."

He has never underestimated high-tech weaponry.

……

The benefits of advancing to a high-level Qi Refiner are certainly not limited to an increase in strength.

He also learned several new spells.

The first one is Yi Wood Divine Escape, used for escaping.

With Chen Jingle's current strength, he can cover about three kilometers each time he uses his technique.

Without the aid of flying swords or escape techniques, this spell is quite convenient. It is very useful for short- to medium-distance travel when necessary, and it consumes very little energy.

Normally, it takes him about 20 minutes to ride his electric scooter out of the city, but if he uses the teleportation talisman, it takes about 15 minutes.

Using the Wood God Escape technique would be much simpler, taking less than two minutes.

"It's just as good as shrinking the earth to an inch!"

The second is "Piercing Through the Clouds," a shooting attack skill.

It feels like the replacement of fallen petals and plucked leaves.

The reason it is described as a shooting skill rather than archery is that even if a hidden weapon, slingshot, or American Iaijutsu is used, it will still be effective.

It's just magical.

When the spell is cast, its effects are directly applied to the attack method, thus granting it a longer range and greater destructive power.

Chen Jingle was very fond of it, which meant that his defensive counter-attacking tactics had become even more effective.

From now on, anyone who dares to offend him will have their tires punctured.

Or, when you have time, go hunt wild boars and rid the people of this menace.

The last one is riding the clouds and mist.

This was the spell that Chen Jingle was most excited and interested in, as the Chinese people have dreamed of flying since ancient times.

Unlike relying on external objects such as airplanes, wingsuit flying, and paragliders, this is a flight achieved entirely by one's own strength.

And it's not just ordinary levitation and hovering, it's riding the clouds and mist!

"This is what cultivation is all about! What kind of cultivation is it if you can't even fly!"

Chen Jingle couldn't wait.

First, take a picture of yourself to make yourself invisible, so that no one can see you.

You never know how many people have nothing better to do than use binoculars or cameras to look at the night sky late at night, and it wouldn't be good if they got caught on camera.

He didn't want to cause trouble.

With hands forming a hand seal, shout, "Rise!"

Suddenly, my feet were lifted up by a cloud of mist. The key was that it was very stable, as if I were walking on flat ground. When I stomped my feet, although it felt like I was walking on cotton, at least it felt real, not virtual.

This greatly excited Chen Jingle.

After confirming that there were no problems, he took off and began to frolic and roam freely among the clouds.

Please imagine the background music of Yun Gong Xun Yin.

The thrill and pleasure of this flying experience far surpasses any activity Chen Jingle has ever experienced before. It is probably for this reason that so many people are willing to risk their lives to participate in extreme sports like wingsuit flying.

When he flew high into the sky and stood on the clouds looking down, he experienced what it means to be lonely at the top.

There's no moon tonight, and quite a few clouds.

The night wind high in the sky made my clothes rustle. If I used my protective aura, the energy would be consumed too quickly, and the time I could ride the clouds would be greatly shortened.

"I'll have to figure out how to draw the Wind-Riding Talisman later. I can't exactly prepare an extra parachute, can I?"

That would be a lot of money!

He is currently at an altitude of approximately 600 meters above the ground in the cumulus cloud layer. Above 400 meters, stratus clouds, resembling a thin fog, will appear.

This was my first attempt at using flight magic, and I didn't dare fly too high.

In addition, I have a slight fear of heights, although not as severe as with Squirrel Flight, but for safety's sake, I decided to play it safe.

After lingering in the 600-meter range for a while, Chen Jingle thought for a moment and decided to fly upwards.

This way, he can't see the specific shape of the building under his feet, but only patches of lights, which will greatly improve his experience.

So they continued to increase the altitude.

When he reached 1000 meters, there were very few clouds overhead, and the starry sky above was dazzling.

What people perceive as a cloudy day is actually a clear blue sky that is simply obscured by thick clouds.

"It's a pity that I'm the only one who can see such a beautiful view."

Chen Jingle sighed softly.

I haven't seen such a beautiful starry sky in a long time. Next time I might consider bringing a camera to take a picture; I guarantee it will turn out great.

At this point, Chen Jingle decided not to go any further.

This altitude is already close to his limit, and he's also afraid of flying too high and crashing into another plane.

Jiangbei has two airports, one military and one civilian. The civilian one is fine, but the military one… he doesn’t want to end up like his third brother.

It's just that it's covered in invisibility talisman and can't be seen with the naked eye; who knows if radar can detect it?

Although current radar can filter out military and civilian aircraft, what if the University of Tokyo has some kind of advanced technology?
It's better to be careful.

He is satisfied with his current life and doesn't want to be disturbed.

Once back on the ground, Chen Jingle calmed down and a smile appeared on his face.

Only at this point did he dare to say that he was clearly different from ordinary mortals.
