Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 19 Senior Sister, Mi Ke'er!

Elder Liu, the head of the internal affairs department, did not hide anything and smiled, saying:

"Actually, you'll find out about this in a while, but knowing in advance will save you from some detours and losses..."

"There are many things that can be exchanged with contribution points within the sect, some of which are very common, such as the Cold Iron Stone you exchanged for."

"But items such as Foundation Establishment Pills, Bull and Tiger Pills, and magical artifacts crafted by the Refining Elder are worth exchanging for."

Elder Liu rattled off more than ten sect treasures worth exchanging for, explaining the reasons for each one to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen nodded repeatedly after hearing this, as he was new to the place and didn't really know anything about these things.

For example, the cold iron stone is not worth exchanging because there are many of this ores in the cold pools near Changchun Mountain, so it is not considered precious.

While the quality of the cold iron stone is good, it still requires smelting and is very complicated.

In the hands of an ordinary weapon refiner, only inferior magical artifacts can be produced, but in the hands of a master weapon refiner, superior magical artifacts can be produced.

For example, low-grade Foundation Establishment Pills are usually only available at auctions outside of sects.

The starting bid for a single item is 1,000 spirit stones, and sometimes it can even sell for as high as 1,500 spirit stones.

Therefore, exchanging sect contribution points is a good option, and even if you don't need them, you can auction them off.

Lin Chen wrote down everything Elder Liu said.

He knew that Elder Liu wasn't this patient with every disciple.

The reason they were willing to guide me was because they saw my potential.

Giving guidance in advance can leave a positive impression in the future.

Lin Chen was extremely willing to do so.

Although he had the support of the Great Xia Kingdom in the world of high martial arts.

However, his foundation in the cultivation world is still shallow, so making more connections will be beneficial for his future.

Today he owes the Elder of Internal Affairs a small favor, which he will repay in the future. Over time, this will develop into a friendship.

Although Lin Chen was young, he was mature beyond his years and understood these principles.

After giving instructions for about fifteen minutes, Elder Liu gradually became quieter.

Lin Chen knew it was time for him to leave, so he bowed and said:

"Thank you very much for your guidance today, Elder Liu. I will keep it in mind..."

Elder Liu smiled and nodded upon hearing this, watching Lin Chen leave.

……

That evening, as the sun was about to set.

Elder Liu glanced at the sky and prepared to leave the sect's main hall.

At this moment, a figure rushed towards the main hall, shouting:

"Elder of Internal Affairs, please wait a moment!"

The newcomer was none other than Li Zhenqian, a disciple who had joined the Zhenfeng sect.

With a face showing seven parts smugness and three parts pride, he said:

"Elder, I'm here to collect the reward for being the first to break through to the Qi Refining stage!"

"Is it still not too late?"

As he spoke, Li Zhengqian activated his cultivation technique, revealing his first level of Qi Refining.

Elder Liu remained calm upon seeing this.

After all, with Lin Chen being the first to break through, Li Zhenqian's breakthrough was just ordinary.

Elder Liu then took out fifty spirit stones and handed them over.

"Li Zhenqian, this is your reward..."

Li Zhengqian took the spirit stones, counted them carefully, but felt something was wrong.

So he asked:

"Elder, shouldn't the reward for the first person to advance to the Qi Refining stage be one hundred spirit stones?"

"And storage bags, sect contribution points..."

Elder Liu frowned slightly after hearing this and reprimanded:

"Do you still think I pocketed your reward?"

"Actually, you're not the first one to break through. Lin Chen broke through to the Qi Refining stage at noon today."

"You came in second place, so this is the only reward you'll receive..."

After hearing this, Li Zhenqian stood there, stunned.

He kept muttering to himself:

"How could this be? How could this be?"

"I clearly have the true spiritual root... so why did Lin Chen break through to the Qi Refining stage first?"

At this moment, Li Zhenqian had lost his composure. He had long considered the first place reward to be his for the taking, but he never expected that Lin Chen would snatch it away!

He couldn't help but recall Lin Chen's arrival at Danfeng a few days ago, leaving dejectedly without even saying goodbye to the internal affairs elder.

Elder Liu watched Li Zhenqian's departing figure quietly, shaking his head slightly.

"Although Li Zhenqian possesses a true spiritual root, he is not resilient enough to withstand adversity, and his temperament has deteriorated somewhat..."

"On the other hand, although Lin Chen only has dual spiritual roots, he has a superior character and is diligent in learning and asking questions."

"Dual spiritual roots aren't necessarily inferior to true spiritual roots... Of the two, Lin Chen will likely go further on the path of cultivation!"

Elder Liu thought to himself.

……

Meanwhile, Danfeng.

After finishing the spiritual food, Lin Chen continued his cultivation in his room.

My Qi and Blood value is getting closer and closer to the threshold of intermediate martial artist, and I expect to break through tomorrow.

At the same time, Lin Chen officially cultivated the Evergreen Technique to the first level.

Feeling the wood-elemental magic power within his dantian, Lin Chen was slightly pleased.

"Not bad, my cultivation has finally gotten on the right track. Once I break through to the second level of the Evergreen Technique, I will be a Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator..."

"However, the magical power of a cultivator in the early stages of Qi Refining is still weak. Currently, the physical strength of a martial artist is more helpful to me!"

Lin Chen received daily instruction from Han Jihai and gained a general understanding of cultivation realms.

In the early stages of Qi Refining, from the first to the third level, it's not actually as powerful as you might imagine.

At this time, the cultivator's magical power is weak, and even if they use a spirit-controlled artifact, its destructive power is limited.

The real qualitative change occurs at the mid-stage of Qi Refining (fourth level).

At this point, the cultivator's divine sense could extend outwards by one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters).

The mana within the dantian is sufficient to unleash several spells, while the range and duration of the spirit-controlled artifact are greatly increased.

"By the mid-stage of Qi Refining, a cultivator's strength likely surpasses that of a martial artist, reaching the level of a martial artist!"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt even more fascinated by the powerful cultivators in the cultivation world.

……

One night of practice.

The next morning, Lin Chen was awakened by knocking on the door.

"Xiao Chen! Wake up! Your senior sister is here to see you!" A female voice came from outside.

"Don't make noise! ​​The child is still sleeping!" That was the master's voice.

"You old man! You took on a new junior brother and didn't even tell me..."

Han Jihai seemed somewhat defeated, and said helplessly:

"Aren't you in seclusion refining pills? How could I possibly disturb you?"

"When is alchemy not a good thing? Junior brother wants to see it as soon as possible!"

squeak-

Lin Chen opened the door and looked outside with a sense of helplessness.

Two figures were seen standing outside the house.

One of them was Lin Chen's ordinary master.

The other figure was an extremely tall woman who looked to be in her late twenties.

Fair skin, delicate features, foxy eyes, and a flushed face, as if she were drunk.

She wore a loose Taoist robe, but it couldn't hide her voluptuous figure; her ample bosom seemed ready to burst forth...

Lin Chen was greatly surprised and asked:

"Master, who is this...?"

She was clearly drunk, and staggered as she collapsed onto Lin Chen.

"I'm your senior sister!"

Lin Chen felt everything go black before his eyes and almost couldn't breathe.

After struggling free for a while, Lin Chen finally came to his senses and said in a daze:

"You're Senior Sister... Mikey?"

Miko managed to stand up, took a gourd from her waist, took a big gulp, and her face flushed even more.

"Haha! Good boy, junior brother... your senior sister has a little gift for you!"

Having said that, he gently tossed a piece of exquisite ancient jade into Lin Chen's hand...

(Lin Chen: What if we do it again?)
