Living a peaceful life in the world of cultivation

The sun is high in the sky; today is a good day to break through barriers.

Lu Ping got up, settled all the spiritual plants in the courtyard, and headed to the market alone.

I went to the market and the treasure pavilion to purchase a breakthrough pill called the Yellow Dragon Pill.

Push open the courtyard gate and walk into the alleyway.

Lu Ping's spiritual energy flowed freely and smoothly throughout his body. His eyes were clear, and there was no sign of fatigue between his brows. Although his hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin, he looked radiant.

Seeing Lü Ping's radiant appearance, the surrounding neighbors couldn't help but ask him questions.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, where are you planning to go?"

"I will go to the inner city to purchase one or two elixirs."

"Regarding the purchase of elixirs, I remember Fellow Daoist Lü bought a bottle of Spirit Nourishing Pills at the Treasure Pavilion last time, didn't he?"

"This time it won't be..."

Those who inquired had some guesses about Lü Ping's purpose in going to the market, and their tone became sour.

Lü Ping simply smiled and did not deny it.

He naturally recognized the person he was talking to.

This cultivator's surname is Wu. It is said that he used to live in the North District. After his father passed away, he moved from the North District to the East District. Among his neighbors, he was the most lazy and indolent. He didn't even participate in the last patrol mission of the Li family.

He usually enjoys drinking, and wherever he goes, he reeks of alcohol.

After exchanging glances with him, Lü Ping did not linger.

The cultivator surnamed Wu watched Lü Ping's retreating figure, a strange emotion flickering in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "Breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining isn't easy..."

I passed by a family's house.

The courtyard gate was half-closed, and suppressed sobs could be heard spreading from inside. Lü Ping had some recollection of this family.

This is the Shen family that Zhao Xiaofan mentioned. The husband of the female cultivator surnamed Shen participated in this land reclamation with Zhao Dashan. Judging from their current situation, they probably haven't received the letter.

"fine."

"I possess a white light orb; without taking risks, my cultivation level and strength can steadily improve."

Seeing so many perilous adventurers among the cultivators, Lü Ping cherished the peaceful life of farming even more.

Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, and the round trip didn't take much time.

As he approached the courtyard gate, Lü Ping saw Xu Cui and Zhao Xiaofan standing there.

"Aping," Xu Cui's voice was filled with genuine concern, not the sour tone of the cultivator surnamed Wu, "I heard from Wu San that you're planning to break through."

Lu Ping nodded. Wu San had been preparing for this, spreading the word that he was about to break through. He even gave hints to his neighbors, all to let the surrounding cultivators know that he was about to break through.

He had already taken safety into consideration.

Firstly, Li Ren, who is in charge of this area, led the cultivators of the Li Family Law Enforcement Hall to patrol this area this morning, with the aim of capturing evil cultivators and maintaining the stability of the market.

The market is currently in a relatively stable environment, and no one dares to be the first to cause trouble. After all, Li Muyang's fierce power last night is still fresh in everyone's minds.

Secondly, Lu Ping's meridians were damaged because he forcibly broke through his realm. After recovering from his injuries, he also earned a sum of spirit stones while opening up the market. Even if it were Wu San, he would choose to try to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining again.

Thirdly, the surrounding cultivators all thought he was preparing to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining in one fell swoop, unaware that Lü Ping's cultivation had already broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and his spiritual sense strength was comparable to that of a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"It's not that your sister-in-law doesn't want you, A-Ping, to break through in your cultivation."

"I was just thinking, maybe we should wait for your brother Dashan to come back. After all, he's a fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator. With him protecting you, in case something happens..."

Xu Cui thought that if anything went wrong, there would be someone to help.

I just feel that it's inappropriate to say such unlucky things.

"Sister-in-law, if this time, I will wait for Brother Dashan to come back and protect me."

"And next time? And the time after that?"

"Sister-in-law, please don't worry. I have experience with breaking through to higher realms; I've been preparing for this for a long time."

Hearing Lü Ping's words, Xu Cui nodded silently. His words made sense, and besides, "Ah Ping isn't a reckless person, except for the last time he broke through to a higher realm."

"Aping, your sister-in-law has helped you break through to the next level. From now on, your cultivation will be everlasting."

"Uncle Ping, you will definitely be able to break through to the next level."

Their sincerity was like a warm current flowing through their hearts, more comforting than a cup of hot tea on a winter's day.

When Lü Ping returned to the courtyard, Xu Cui and the other person did not leave. Judging from their posture, they intended to protect him.

Close the wooden cabin to temporarily isolate it from the courtyard.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lü Ping held a bright orange-yellow pill with a fragrant aroma in his palm.

It was a first-grade mid-level elixir, the Yellow Dragon Pill.

The Yellow Dragon Pill is a potent and powerful medicine, designed to help cultivators break through their cultivation levels and stabilize their power.

A bottle of Yellow Dragon Pills costs thirty spirit stones at the Treasure Pavilion, and contains only three pills.

As soon as Lü Ping took the Yellow Dragon Pill, its powerful and domineering medicinal force began to impact his meridians.

"Good timing."

He circulated the Lesser Five Elements Technique, gradually consuming and refining the medicinal power of the Yellow Dragon Pill within his body.

The medicinal properties are pure, as expected from a product of Duobaoge, the quality is guaranteed; however, compared to the spiritual energy within the spiritual energy cluster, its purity is still far inferior.

After all, the Treasure Pavilion only guarantees quality, while the rewards produced by the White Light Orb are guaranteed to be of the highest quality!

Within the dantian, the refined spiritual energy gradually flowed into it; a small portion of the medicinal power, circulating throughout the body, was sent to the brow and the sea of ​​consciousness.

Ultimately, it's a pill for breaking through cultivation levels, but it can't compare to the Nourishing Spirit Pill for gently nourishing and replenishing the spiritual consciousness.

A quarter of an hour later, the Yellow Dragon Pill was completely refined.

"Although the medicinal power contained in the Yellow Dragon Pill is not as pure as that of the spiritual energy ball, it is superior in that its medicinal power is long-lasting and abundant, and extremely domineering."

"The effect of one Yellow Dragon Pill on cultivation is roughly equivalent to that of seven portions of spiritual energy."

However, since it is not a perfect quality pill, there will be residual pill toxins in the body after absorption, and the purity of the absorbed spiritual energy will be reduced.

Lu Ping began to refine and extract the spiritual energy in his dantian and dantian, purifying it and tempering his foundation, as he activated the perfected stage of the Spirit Refining Technique.

An hour later, Lü Ping came to his senses.

"Two-fifths of the spiritual energy has been accumulated in the dantian and dantian."

His cultivation level had improved at a speed almost like a rocket launch, and Lü Ping was already very satisfied with it.

Absorbing a cluster of spiritual energy produced by a Rejuvenating Grass results in a cultivation increase roughly equivalent to a month of arduous training.

What is asceticism?

He devoted himself to cultivation, refusing all other work, working day and night...

Without the white light, Lü Ping would not have been able to meet the ascetic requirement of not engaging in labor.

Contentment brings happiness.

"Even if I replaced the spiritual energy cluster with arduous cultivation, it would still take me more than four years to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining."

Lu Ping got up, dusted off non-existent dust, and estimated that an hour had passed.

One hour is roughly the time it takes for a normal cultivator to break through to a higher realm.

Lü Ping pushed open the wooden door.

His aura was not stable, and his spiritual energy fluctuated frequently after breaking through the realm. However, the spiritual pressure of a mid-stage cultivator on an early-stage cultivator was real. This was intentional, to show the scene of a cultivator with his aptitude after breaking through.

Lu Ping had to admit that pretending to have an unstable foundation also required talent.

"Uncle Ping, you've successfully broken through to the next realm..."
