Chapter 40: Eighth Level of Qi Refining

After leaving the Dan Pavilion, Ye Chunyang went directly back to his wooden house. Although it was simple, he felt relaxed after returning.

After taking the Qi-recovering Pill, the bleeding on his wounds stopped and his injuries recovered a lot.

Although Su Xueyuan agreed to protect him this time, Ye Chunyang was still worried. He knew that Su Xueyuan's move was just to stabilize his heart, but she didn't really trust him.

This was exactly what he wanted.

A too close relationship would easily expose one's secrets, but too distant would lose the other's protection and even lead to murder. At present, this kind of relationship that was neither distant nor close was the best for Ye Chunyang.

He pointed with two fingers, and a light flashed in the house, and Ye Xiaobao immediately appeared.

"Fortunately, I came back in time, otherwise the invisibility talisman on Ye Xiaobao would be invalid."

The invisibility talisman can't last long. Although no one usually comes to this small wooden house, if he comes back later, Ye Xiaobao will still be in danger of being exposed. Ye Chunyang will never let himself fall into danger.

"You've been walking for so many days, you must be hungry and thin, right?"

Looking at Ye Xiaobao, Ye Chunyang felt a little distressed. He had been away for more than half a month, and Ye Xiaobao had also been hungry for so many days. He had to make up for it!

He took some food from the stone cabinet, set up a big pot, and started cooking seriously.

Over time, Ye Chunyang became more and more proficient in using the mysterious power of the big spoon. In a short while, the house was filled with fragrance. Ye Xiaobao ate up the whole pot of food, and his body also had spiritual power floating.

"The experience of the past half month has increased my spiritual power a lot. Now is a good time to practice in seclusion."

On the way back to the sect, Ye Chunyang felt that his spiritual power was at the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining. As long as he cooperated with Ye Xiaobao to complement his spiritual roots, he could impact the eighth level.

But before that, he went to the courtyard again, planted a few spiritual herbs, and carefully irrigated them with the spiritual spoon.

These spiritual grass seeds were extorted from Tianbao Pavilion. After the medicinal properties are stimulated to a hundred years old, they can be used with dragon snake saliva to refine foundation-building pills.

Watching the seeds gradually sprout under the irrigation of the spiritual spoon, Ye Chunyang smiled with satisfaction and immediately returned to the house to arrange the forbidden method.

This time, he got far more than he expected. Not only did he get many magic weapons, but he also learned a lot of magic from "Senior Brother Zhao", Sun Quan, and the young man from the Taoist world. This forbidden method is one of them, which can isolate the outside world from disturbing. Unless a master in the foundation-building period forcibly breaks the ban, no one can break in.

After preparing everything, he immediately closed his eyes and practiced in silence, and the Origin Heavenly Scripture started to operate in the two bodies.

The strands of spiritual energy were entangled like water ripples, and under the attraction of the skills, they quickly drilled into the dantian.

Instantly, Ye Chunyang could see with his spiritual sense that the spiritual power in his body was colorful, representing the five elements, filling his limbs and bones. Originally, one of the five elements was missing, but now it was complete with the complementation of Ye Xiaobao.

The spiritual energy sensed by the two bodies complementing each other was several times more abundant than that of his main body alone.

This made Ye Chunyang feel the importance of Ye Xiaobao even more. He hoped that he could practice to the second level of the Origin Heavenly Scripture as soon as possible, so that Ye Xiaobao could be invisible and be with him at any time, so as to avoid the embarrassment of being difficult to make progress when practicing alone.

Feeling the spiritual energy filling up, Ye Chunyang did not hesitate and urged the Origin Heavenly Scripture to the limit. Suddenly, the whole room was filled with the sound of whistling wind, and the spiritual energy rushed in like a roaring sea. The whole room was filled with dazzling brilliance, and the two bodies were also lifted into the air by the spiritual energy, making him as majestic as a god. If there were no forbidden methods in the house, such a movement would have attracted onlookers.

However, if someone were here, they would be extremely surprised, because after sensing such abundant spiritual energy, Ye Chunyang not only did not stop, but the two bodies were like a bottomless pit, absorbing it crazily, making an amazing sound of energy impact.

"There is still too little spiritual energy..."

Slightly opening his eyes, Ye Chunyang found that it was different from what he imagined. His cultivation level was only one threshold away from the eighth level of Qi Refining. Ordinary people would have advanced to the next level after sensing such abundant spiritual energy, but he only improved a little bit. Obviously, the spiritual energy required for the two bodies to practice together was far beyond his expectations.

"Su Hu has now reached the eighth level of Qi Refining and is always trying to harm me. If I can't advance, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it. No matter what, I have to succeed in this advancement!"

The pressure from Su Hu and Su Xueyuan was like a sharp sword, always hanging over Ye Chunyang's head. The mana elder behind "Senior Brother Zhao" might come to investigate at any time, which made him feel a strong sense of urgency and motivated to impact the realm.

Immediately, he connected his hands and placed them flat on his lower abdomen. A dazzling light burst out from his palms, attracting the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.

With such increased strength of absorption, he felt a faint tingling in his body, which was a phenomenon of excessive spiritual energy filling the meridians.

But Ye Chunyang didn't care about this at all. With Ye Xiaobao, his body was tougher than ordinary people. Moreover, in order to gain Su Xueyuan's trust, he could even be ruthless. This pain was nothing to him.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

This absorption lasted for three hours. Suddenly, his body made a sound of crisp bones. This was not the first time Ye Chunyang had experienced this. It was obviously a sign that his spiritual power had reached its limit and was about to open the threshold of the realm.

Looking at Ye Xiaobao again, the latter's whole body was full of energy, and the light in his dantian was bright. It seemed that he had also reached the critical moment of advancement.

Ye Chunyang was delighted, but he knew that it was several times more difficult for him to cultivate with two bodies at the same time than ordinary people. If he could advance so easily, it would be strange!

Therefore, after feeling the friction between his body and bones, he did not rush, but closed his eyes again to absorb.

In this way, the feeling of swelling and astringency in the meridians in his body became stronger and stronger, and cold sweat began to seep out of his forehead.

But these were far less than his inner determination.

After experiencing too many intrigues in the world of immortal cultivation, he deeply realized the fragility of life. For immortal cultivation and longevity, he had an obsession and desire that ordinary people could not understand. If he could not even bear the pain of this advancement, how could he build a foundation in the future? Gain a longer life?

With such firm confidence, the severe pain that seemed to be broken in the meridians became commonplace. In the end, he was indifferent to this pain, and his consciousness was like a third party, calmly examining his changes.

However, despite the increase in spiritual power, it could not really break through the limit. Instead, it kept accumulating in the meridians of the body, increasing more and more, making his whole body like being inflated. Every time the spiritual energy increased, his body swelled.

This lasted for three days.

For three days, both of Ye Chunyang's bodies were swollen, and the cloud-top Taoist robe, which was originally one size wider, became tight at this time.

It was not because he had gained weight in the past few days, but because of the continuous absorption of spiritual energy and the expansion of meridians.

"After such a long period of absorption, both of my bodies have reached the limit, but I still cannot break through the eighth level of Qi Refining. It is true that the difficulty of cultivating immortals is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Ye Chunyang smiled bitterly after separating a ray of consciousness to comprehend himself.

What is cultivating immortals?

Comprehending the creation and transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one's own magic power is cultivating immortals.

What is immortality?

Fighting for life with heaven and stealing the longevity of heaven can achieve immortality.

However, to achieve true longevity, one must reach the foundation building stage, or even the advanced realms of mana, Danjie, and Yuanying. The Qi Refining Stage is only the starting point of immortal cultivation, which is extremely difficult. If Ye Chunyang had not been tenacious, he would have been unable to withstand such hardships.

Fortunately, after the fourth day of this stagnation and pain, the swollen skin began to show signs of subsiding, and the blockage in the meridians gradually became unobstructed.

Finally, with a muffled bang, Ye Chunyang's whole body shook, his arms opened involuntarily, and he looked up at the sky. A thick white mist came out of his mouth, forming an air column that pierced the void.

A long-lost pleasure quickly spread throughout the body, and the spiritual energy that had been blocked in the meridians for a long time was released in an instant. It was like a flood opening, rushing and wandering in the body. With the complement of Ye Xiaobao, at this moment, Ye Chunyang's spiritual power was at least ten times more advanced than a few days ago!

Qi Refining Level 8!

After several days of continuous pain and torture, the heaven finally paid off and Ye Chunyang broke through in one fell swoop.

Under the support of spiritual energy, he slowly fell from mid-air, spread his hands and looked at his palm lines. Even if he didn't deliberately operate, the spiritual energy still wandered from the palm lines.

Seeing this, he was overjoyed and pointed at the teacup on the table with two fingers. The latter suddenly floated up, allowing his fingers to rotate, rise into the air, and lie flat. The teacup still changed with him like a magnet.

"Is this the realm of driving things?"

Ye Chunyang was like a child, constantly driving the teacup. At this time, he seemed to have reached the watershed of the Qi Refining Period and could release spiritual energy to drive things to fly.

Speaking of driving things to fly, Ye Chunyang couldn't wait to take out a large spoon from the Qiankun bag, wanting to know if this thing could be driven.

He pointed with two fingers and blew a breath of spiritual energy up.

Suddenly, the big spoon spun around at the fingertips. Under the influence of the spiritual energy, it actually expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge spoon of a hundred feet, making a buzzing sound in the house.

This scene made Ye Chunyang dumbfounded. He thought, if such a huge spoon flew into the sky, what a magnificent scene it would be?

But he knew that if he flew with a flying device in the sect, it would be like telling Su Xueyuan that he had reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, which was no different from suicide.

It was just that getting rid of the shackles of the earth was always his wish. After driving the big spoon, he still couldn't help but jump up and fly around in the house. Although he didn't really rush into the sky and experience the pleasure of flying in the clouds, he was slightly satisfied when he heard the whistling wind beside his ears.

"When I get rid of Su Xueyuan's shackles one day, I will definitely fly to the sky and stand proudly outside the clouds!" Ye Chunyang vowed secretly.

At this moment, his mind tensed up, and he felt the fluctuation of the forbidden law outside the door, as if someone broke in.

Ye Chunyang frowned immediately after his spiritual sense probed out.

"Is it him? This guy knows that I'm back to the sect, so he can't hold back so soon?"

Feeling the person coming, Ye Chunyang's eyes were deep, and he tapped the invisible talisman on Ye Xiaobao.

This talisman can be used three times, and there are still two opportunities to use it now.

After hiding Ye Xiaobao, he once again operated the Origin Heavenly Scripture, and the breath that had just risen to the eighth level of Qi Refining was suppressed to the sixth level again.

At this time, not far away, a sword light broke through the clouds and came straight into his small courtyard.

Ye Chunyang had seen this sword light a few days ago. It was the flying sword held by Su Hu.
