You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"A lowly outer disciple dares to lay a finger on my goddess? He's asking for death." Bai Zixuan secretly vowed to himself that he would definitely kill that disciple.

Bai Zixuan did not linger there; what he was most eager to know was who that handyman disciple was.

Given his status as an inner disciple, eliminating Chen Huai'an wouldn't require him to lift a finger; it would be as simple as issuing a single command.

Once you break through to the Qi Refining Realm, you can enter the outer sect and become an outer sect disciple. However, to become an inner sect disciple, you need a master, and you must also break through to the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm.

To become a core disciple of the inner sect, one must successfully break through the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage.

Core disciples are the backbone of a sect.

Becoming a core inner disciple not only brings a difference in status and position, but also in the cultivation resources one receives from the sect.

One who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage can become an outer sect elder, while an inner sect elder is a high-ranking member of the sect, possessing the cultivation level of the Golden Core stage.

Once one's cultivation reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, each subsequent breakthrough becomes extremely difficult, let alone the Golden Core stage.

In fact, the speed of cultivation slows down from the Qi Refining Realm onwards. Many outer disciples, like those menial disciples, cannot break through a single level of cultivation even after several years or more than a decade.

If one's cultivation level cannot be broken through, one must continuously complete sect missions to earn cultivation resources, hoping to break through one day.

Whether a cultivator can break through to a higher realm depends not only on their personal aptitude but also on the external force of their cultivation techniques, which refers to cultivation resources.

The outer disciples are all at the early or middle stages of the Qi Refining Realm.

Breaking through the Qi Refining Realm allows one to live for 150 to 180 years.

Those who reach the Body Refinement Realm can live for 80 to 120 years.

The earlier you break through, the better your growth potential and the more opportunities you have to reach higher levels.

Su Daqiang stayed in Su Wanying's cave for several more days before returning to the outer gate.

The news that Su Wanying had a fiancé spread throughout the entire Qingyun Sect.

When people learned that Su Wanying, the proud and beautiful young woman, was actually a lowly disciple's fiancé, many disciples felt indignant on Su Wanying's behalf.

Similarly, some people exclaimed that Chen Huai'an was incredibly lucky to have such a marriage with the beautiful and talented Su Wanying, and everyone was extremely envious.

As the news spread, some outer disciples frequently visited the Miscellaneous Service Peak, eager to see who this person was who had such a connection with the proud and talented Su Wanying.

They went to the residence of the miscellaneous disciples on Lingquan Peak, but found nothing, because Chen Huai'an was in seclusion at the moment and they couldn't find him at all.

But the news had already spread, and everyone in the Qingyun Sect, from ordinary servants to outer and inner disciples, knew about Chen Huai'an.

Whenever the sect's most favored daughters are involved, there are always some gossipy individuals who will inquire about information from all sides. Some news about Chen Huai'an, this menial disciple, has come to the attention of some inner disciples.

To put it in their words, what right does a good-for-nothing have to lay a finger on a girl as proud as Su Wanying?

Such a person does not deserve to live in this world.

"The five elements of spiritual power must reach a balance without the slightest error. Use divine sense to temper and compress them, transforming spiritual power into qi. This spiritual power is used to compress and temper the body, allowing the dantian to hold more qi. Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and qualitative change leads to quantitative change." After three days of secluded cultivation, Chen Huai'an gained a profound understanding of the body refining realm.

Breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm isn't actually as difficult as they say, especially for those with five elemental roots whose five elemental energies have all entered the Qi Refining Realm. As long as they break through their own limitations, they can break through. The reason some people fail to break through is that their dantian doesn't have enough resources; they simply can't fill it.

Chen Huai'an, however, was different; he possessed a wealth of cultivation resources within the purple gourd space.

He had plenty of spirit stones, spirit grains, demon beast meat, and spirit bird meat. These were all ordinary foods, but they contained the essence of the five elements. Because he cultivated the Five Elements Qi Refining Technique, he could absorb the spiritual power of the five elements when he ate these items. What Chen Huai'an had to do was compress all this spiritual power into his dantian.

That wasn't enough. After consuming all the ingredients in the space, he began to use the high-grade five-element spirit stones inside.

Cultivating the dantian step by step simply won't fill it with the five elements of spiritual energy, let alone continuously compressing it to trigger a qualitative change. If it can't even be filled, how can it be compressed to trigger a qualitative change?

However, the abundant spiritual energy contained in this high-grade spirit stone does not need to be absorbed through the meridians, stomach, or other bodily organs; it enters the dantian directly through the meridians.

Chen Huai'an needed to absorb five high-grade Five Elements Spirit Stones (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) at a time. One absorption was enough to fill the stones, but it didn't reach his limit.

Then another batch came.

After Chen Huai'an finished absorbing the energy, he felt a sharp pain in his dantian, as if it was about to explode.

Only by breaking through this barrier can one open up the Qi Sea and allow more spiritual energy to enter the Dantian Qi Sea.

The size of the dantian (energy center) depends on the resilience of the dantian; the stronger the resilience of the dantian, the stronger the energy center that can be opened.

The Qi Refining Realm involves storing spiritual energy in the Qi Sea; the larger the Qi Sea, the stronger one's strength.

After absorbing both batches of Five Elements Spirit Stones, Chen Huai'an's dantian reached its limit, but he was still a little short of breaking through.

Chen Huai'an had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue using the Five Elements Spirit Stones to aid his cultivation.

He originally thought that three sets of Five Elements Spirit Vision would be his limit, but it wasn't. Chen Huai'an used five sets, a total of twenty-five low-grade spirit stones, to expand his dantian and open up his sea of ​​qi with a roar.

Now, Chen Huai'an understands why the old man in the library advised him to give up cultivating the Five Elements Qi Refining Technique, because this is something that ordinary people cannot cultivate.

One low-grade Five Elements Spirit Stone is worth 10 low-grade spirit stones. A set is fifty low-grade spirit stones.

Chen Huai'an used five sets, which required 250 low-grade spirit stones.

But Chen Huai'an used top-grade Five Elements Spirit Stones.

One high-grade Five Elements Spirit Stone is worth one hundred low-grade Five Elements Spirit Stones. Therefore, this breakthrough cost him 25000 low-grade spirit stones.

The simple breakthrough to the Qi Refining realm alone consumed 25,000 low-grade spirit stones. The resources required to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm would be terrifying. This does not even include the cultivation resources consumed when Chen Huai'an broke through from the first level of the Body Refining realm to the ninth level of the late Body Refining realm some time ago.

Cultivation is truly a money pit. Without a powerful background and sufficient financial resources, it would be impossible for Chen Huai'an to break through to the Qi Refining Realm.

This attempt to break through to the Qi Refining Realm cost 25000 low-grade spirit stones, and there's no spirit gourd space available. Even if we provide him with cultivation resources, based on the monthly salary and contribution points a disciple receives, he can only accumulate ten low-grade spirit stones a month, or 120 a year. It would take over 200 years to accumulate 25000 low-grade spirit stones.

A cultivator in the late stage of Body Refinement has a lifespan of less than 200 years.

Therefore, it is simply impossible to cultivate the Five Elements Qi Refining Technique to the Qi Refining Realm.

But Chen Huai'an did it. Today, he has broken through the Qi Refining Realm, opened up the Qi Sea in his dantian, and officially entered the Qi Refining Realm.

"Useless trash, good-for-nothings! It's been days, and you still haven't heard from Chen Huai'an. Has this good-for-nothing vanished into thin air?" A man at the Qi Refining Realm on the Miscellaneous Service Peak scolded the steward of the peak.

Senior Brother Bai gave them an ultimatum: if they couldn't find Chen Huai'an, they would be in trouble too.
