He cultivated himself into a Dao Ancestor starting from Qi Refining.

"continue."

After calming down, Lin Shaoyu recalled the information about the "Seventh-Order True Skill: Angri Soul-Suppressing Skill" and began to cultivate this seventh-order true skill. His consciousness also quickly connected with the He Shi Bi jade, and strands of white life force combined with the true skill like wisps of white smoke.

The path of cultivation in this world.

Under the influence of Qi cultivation.

It is divided into: Nourishing the Body, Tempering the Body, Nourishing the Spirit, and Entering the Dao.

After reaching the "Peak of Entering the Dao", if one wants to enter the "Qi Refining" stage, one needs to cultivate "True Skills", pass through the physical body barrier, the magical power barrier, and the inner demon barrier, and then refine "True Qi".

The Qi Refining process is divided into twelve levels.

The Qi Refining Realm is also about cultivating "True Skills". Each time you master a "True Skill", you can refine a type of "True Qi". Each time you refine a type of "True Qi", you can advance to a higher realm.

Simultaneously.

True skill is divided into nine levels, with level nine being the lowest and level one being the highest.

True skills below the seventh level cannot develop into supernatural powers because they do not contain 'Daoist essence'. And Qi cultivators who have not developed supernatural powers, no matter how high their realm, will find it difficult to contend with supernatural powers.

In other words, in this world, within the Qi Refining Realm, only supernatural powers are respected, not realms of cultivation.

An hour later.

"It's done."

Lin Shaoyu's face lit up with joy once again. Having consumed thirty strands of white life force, he had successfully cultivated the "Seventh-Order True Skill: Angri Soul Suppressing Skill" and refined the "Angri True Qi".

In this way.

Lin Shaoyu had already reached the third level of Qi Refining. In his dantian, the black "Iron Bone True Qi", the red "Burning Sun True Qi", and the light golden "Soaring Sun True Qi" were arranged in a triangular shape and were interconnected with each other.

The three types of true qi resonated with each other, and under Lin Shaoyu's control, with just a little guidance, they slowly converged together in his dantian, as if these three types of true qi were meant to be fused together by nature.

next moment.

As a wave of Daoist energy spread out, the three kinds of true Qi completely intertwined and combined, eventually condensing into a radiant 'True Talisman', its shape resembling a rooster crowing to the sky, lifelike.

This is the "True Record of Supernatural Powers".

Minor Supernatural Power: The Tightwad!

As the saying goes, "a miser is not willing to part with even a feather," its effect is that after activation, it forms an "absolute defense," centered on itself, resisting all negative effects and attacks.

Next, Lin Shaoyu began to familiarize himself with the supernatural abilities he had already mastered. Time passed unnoticed as he cultivated, and it was already evening.

Lin Shaoyu, who was resting, suddenly opened his eyes and quickly got up. He raised his right hand, and a golden ingot pattern appeared in his palm.

"Money to borrow your life!"

Lin Shaoyu's pupils contracted. He clearly felt the abnormality in his body; his life essence was being devoured by the gold ingot pattern in his palm. "The opponent has made a move!"

This is the terrifying aspect of "Minor Supernatural Power: Life-Borrowing Money".

Within the realm of refining qi.

Ignoring distance.

Ignoring boundaries.

The condition for activation is that you must successfully lend money to someone else, and then you need to wait for a month. If the money is not repaid after a month, you can start borrowing lives.

Once the "gold ingot" is formed, the other party can take it away remotely. This "gold ingot" is the life of the borrower, containing all their essence.

Sunset City.

In Lingyuan Market.

Inside a cave.

"Little brat from the Bone Demon Sect, it's been a month. It's time to give me your life."

This was a middle-aged man with a square face and a few gray hairs at his temples. At this moment, he formed a hand seal, and his true qi flowed, revealing a golden "Divine Power Talisman", which looked like an ancient copper coin.

The square-faced middle-aged man quickly sensed Lin Shaoyu's presence. After feeling the 'gold ingot' slowly taking shape, a smug smile appeared on his face.

Almost at the same time.

Lin Shaoyu did not hesitate at all. His mind was shaken, he sat cross-legged, his hands immediately formed a seal, and the "Divine Power True Talisman" in his body was activated, shining brightly. The sound of a rooster crowing rang in his ears, and a faint iron rooster phantom appeared on his body.

can be seen.

An almost invisible light screen slowly appeared around Lin Shaoyu, covering his entire body with himself at its core, isolating him from the outside and resisting everything.

As soon as the "Iron Rooster" was activated, the "Gold Ingot" in Lin Shaoyu's hand immediately stopped, unable to continue absorbing Lin Shaoyu's life force. It was blocked by the supernatural power and defended.

"It's a success."

Lin Shaoyu's face lit up with joy. "As expected, only supernatural powers can counter supernatural powers. My previous attempts to wear them down with true qi had no effect whatsoever."

"Okay, okay!"

Only after seeing the results did Lin Shaoyu truly feel relieved.

Lingyuan Market in Sunset City.

Inside a certain cave.

"impossible!"

The square-faced middle-aged man froze, his face filled with astonishment. His smile froze on his face, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "How could this be? How is this possible?! Iron Rooster! It's Iron Rooster! How could that junior cultivator from the Bone Demon Sect have mastered the 'Minor Divine Ability: Iron Rooster' in just one month?!"

"What on earth happened in the past month?!"

however.

it's not finished yet.

"Peeping into fate!"

With a thought, Lin Shaoyu connected his consciousness with the He Shi Bi, directly consuming ten white life points to activate the He Shi Bi's second ability, "Peeping into Fate".

Because the "Life-Borrowing Money" was not truly activated, even though Lin Shaoyu could sense the mark of the "Life-Borrowing Money" before, he still could not use the second ability of the He Shi Bi on it.

Now that the other party has initiated the "Life-Borrowing Money" scheme, it is possible to "peep into their fate".

hum!

As the "Fate Gaze" was activated, the "gold ingot" in Lin Shaoyu's vision changed, and one scene after another appeared.

"This is……"

Lin Shaoyu was stunned for a moment. "The past! This is the past! I actually saw the past!"

on the screen.

Lin Shaoyu successfully broke through to the Qi Refining stage a little over a month ago, becoming an outer disciple of the Dry Bone Demon Sect. Because he had barely completed the Qi Refining stage at the age of sixty, his potential was exhausted, and he had no hope of becoming an immortal. So he thought of entering the mortal realm and becoming a Qi Refining Ancestor to enjoy wealth and glory.

Sunset City was the place Lin Shaoyu had chosen.

However, on his way there, he accidentally fell into that special secret realm and obtained the "He Shi Bi" (a legendary jade disc). After leaving, he went to Sunset City, but he didn't expect to be tricked there and poisoned with "Life-Borrowing Money". In order to survive, Lin Shaoyu had no choice but to return to the Dry Bone Demon Sect to find a way to break the curse.

"That is..."

on the screen.

A place that seemed somewhat familiar to Lin Shaoyu appeared: "Sunset Money Exchange!"

Just over a month ago, Lin Shaoyu had exhausted his family fortune in his pursuit of a breakthrough and had no spirit stones left. So he pawned some unwanted magical artifacts to the Sunset Money Exchange and borrowed some spirit stones from the exchange to support his daily cultivation.
