Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 60 Returning to Earth, Refining Qi to the Seventh Level (First Update, Please Read On)

He opened the Lin Family Pavilion to make things easier for him.

They not only need to sell elixirs, but also other goods.

In this way, Lin Chen will not arouse suspicion when purchasing materials later.

After buying Lin's Xiaoxuan, Lin Chen also rented an abandoned medicine garden outside the market.

The herb garden is quite large, covering more than ten acres, but it's cheap. Lin Chen rented it for ten years for only two hundred spirit stones.

After finishing all the chores for the shop opening, it was already nighttime.

Lin Chen didn't return to Danfeng; instead, he stayed on the second floor of the shop.

"Sigh, I haven't had time to cultivate all day... Opening a shop really takes a lot of energy."

He rubbed his temples, but thankfully he was only busy for the next couple of days, and things would get much better afterwards.

As for how well the shop was doing, he didn't care.

Lin Chen cultivated for several hours, and by the time he finished his cultivation for the day, it was nearly dawn.

I glanced at the countdown on my arm; there were still fifteen minutes until I returned to Earth.

Lin Chen began to take stock of the goods and resources he had brought back to Blue Star.

"Including the Crimson Blood Flower and the Qi-Boosting Grass, there are over a thousand medicinal herbs..."

"Spirit rice and seeds of various spiritual herbs—I didn't count them exactly, but I estimate there are tens of thousands..."

"We have over three thousand spirit stones left... and over a hundred newly recorded cultivation techniques..."

Lin Chen nodded. Most of these supplies were inventory acquired from the sale of the shops.

This saved Lin Chen the trouble of making the purchase.

"Especially this batch of medicinal herbs, it's enough for me to refine hundreds more batches of pills..."

"With this batch of pills, we won't have to worry about cultivation resources anymore, and we can also begin to cultivate a group of Blue Star warriors."

Some medicines, like Qi Xue Dan, contain erysipelas, and martial artists cannot take them daily.

One bottle of Qi and Blood Pills is enough for a martial artist to cultivate for a year.

Based on the success rate of alchemy using the instrument, Lin Chen estimated that this batch of medicinal herbs would be enough to train about a hundred martial artists.

This allows for small-scale experiments to be conducted, and preliminary calculations can be made regarding the effects of the Qi and Blood Pill on martial artists.

By the time its effectiveness is fully proven, it will be ready for large-scale implementation.

"As for these seeds... they will all be taken to Blue Star and planted within the range of the Spirit Gathering Array."

After Lin Chen made all the necessary preparations, the countdown on his arm was about to reach zero.

"Three, two, one..."

The view in front of me suddenly changed.

……

The Great Xia Kingdom, Martial Arts Palace.

Lin Chen's return brought Wang Lishan and the others a pleasant surprise.

"You're back?"

"Hmm... I brought back quite a few good things this time!"

With a smile on his face, Lin Chen took out a thousand spiritual herbs from the nanobag.

Seeing such a large quantity of spiritual herbs, Wang Lishan couldn't stop smiling.

"Good, good! With these elixirs... we can conduct small-scale experiments on the effects of the Qi and Blood Pill."

"I plan to select two hundred martial artists to learn the new breathing technique and supplement it with Qi and Blood Pills for six months... What do you think, Xiao Chen?"

Lin Chen thought about it for a moment after hearing this.

This batch of medicinal herbs is enough to refine about a hundred bottles of Qi and Blood Pills.

That's just enough for two hundred martial artists to train for half a year.

"That works... Once we calculate the training efficiency of this group of martial artists in six months, it should be ready for widespread adoption!"

Lin Chen nodded slightly and took out tens of thousands of seeds of various spiritual herbs that he had brought back.

"These seeds all need to be planted within the range of the Spirit Gathering Array... Did any of the wood-elemental cultivators we trained before sense the spirit of plants?"

Lin Chen asked.

These thousand medicinal herbs, though a significant step forward, are still far from enough for the entire Great Xia Kingdom.

However, as long as the seeds can be cultivated quickly, medicinal materials such as Qi and Blood Pills will no longer be in short supply within a few years.

After hearing this, Wang Lishan sighed and said:

"Quite a few cultivators have reached the first level of Qi Refining, and there are even two who are close to the second level..."

"However... there isn't anyone who can sense the spirits of plants and trees yet."

Lin Chen frowned slightly after hearing this, as he was certain that spirits of plants also existed on Blue Star.

However, this skill of comprehending the nature of heaven and earth seems to be somewhat difficult even for a genius cultivator.

"Sigh, let them work harder... From now on, the cultivation of spiritual herbs will depend entirely on cultivators with wood spiritual roots."

"Later, I will share my insights into the spirit of plants and trees..."

Lin Chen was also somewhat helpless, after all, not everyone has his level of understanding.

"By the way, I opened a shop in the cultivation world this time, which will make it easier to obtain resources later."

"Next, the resources I provide to Earth may increase tenfold..."

Lin Chen roughly recounted what he had done in the cultivation world.

Wang Lishan was also surprised when he heard that Lin Chen had gone to the black market to trade again.

"Although black market transactions can bring in money quickly, you should still prioritize your own safety... In a few days, I will equip you with some new gear and weapons," Wang Lishan reminded him.

Lin Chen remained noncommittal after hearing this.

However, let's not even talk about the various explosive weapons and armor he has.

With just that demon-slaying blade, Lin Chen was confident he wouldn't be afraid of even a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator.

Lin Chen has now mastered the Spirit Control Technique, and his true essence is as refined as that of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

In addition, he cultivated the Heavenly Evolution Technique, and his divine sense was close to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Combined with the Demon-Slaying Flying Knife, it can instantly behead even a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining.

However, since it was concern from an elder, Lin Chen nodded and said:

"Uncle Wang, that's why I brought back some new cultivation techniques and classic texts... I'll send them to you directly."

"By the way, how's the research on the cultivation manuals we brought back from before coming along?"

Wang Lishan did not hide anything, saying:

"We released the news that we had discovered what appears to be an ancient book from the Martial Realm... and we hired a team of a thousand people to study alchemy, arrays, artifacts, talismans, and other classic texts."

"In this process, we concealed your existence and that of the cultivation world... Of course, the results have been remarkable, and our research on formations and alchemy has made considerable progress."

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this.

He still had a lot of confidence in the research team from the Great Xia Kingdom.

I'm afraid we'll have tangible research results within a few months.

Lin Chen spent the afternoon at the Martial Arts Palace, made some requests, and underwent some targeted training.

I didn't get home until evening.

……

In the blink of an eye, another five days have passed.

In the past few days, Lin Chen has spent most of his time cultivating his Qi.

He was making his final push toward the seventh level of Qi Refining.

On average, Lin Chen consumes three spirit stones and takes several Qi-boosting pills every day.

Under such intense training, Lin Chen's true essence gradually became more abundant, bringing him closer to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Until the day before I was to return to the world of cultivation...

On this day, in a room of the Martial Arts Palace.

Li Nian stood guard not far away, preventing anyone from getting close.

Lin Chen's aura surged like a tidal wave, launching a final assault towards the late stage of Qi Refining.

The sixth to seventh level of Qi Refining marks the dividing line between the middle and late stages.

This is a significant bottleneck for cultivators.

With Lin Chen's aptitude, he certainly wouldn't get stuck at the Qi Refining stage, but caution is still necessary.

As the spirit stones around him turned to dust, the spiritual energy in Lin Chen's dantian finally broke through a certain limit.

After fluctuating for several minutes, his aura returned to calm...

Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.

"Finally, I've broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining!"

"I wonder what changes have occurred since then..."
