Chapter 148 Peak of Qi Refining
The flawless foundation-building pill rewarded by Wanxinghai was made from demon pills as the main material.
Han Yi took out a purple jade box, put the demon pill he took out into it, and put it away solemnly.
This demon pill will be refined after he advances to the foundation-building stage and improves his alchemy skills to the pinnacle.
Then.
Han Yi collected the huge corpse of the fire monster, and he would sell it along with several demon beasts he killed in Wanxinghai. These demon corpses were full of treasures, including blood, brain matter, internal organs, bones, beast meat, demon skin, etc., which were widely used raw materials in alchemy, medicine, and even refining.
The next day.
Han Yi went directly to Qinglong Palace and handed over the corpses of demon beasts and demon cultivators to the sect, and exchanged them for points, earning more than 1.3 million points.
According to the sect's calculation that 100 points can be exchanged for 15 low-grade spirit stones, this time, he could exchange these corpses alone for about 2,000 medium-grade spirit stones.
Among them, the corpse of the Fire Demon was worth more than 1.1 million points.
Moreover, this was the reason why the demon pill was taken away by Han Yi. If the demon pill was included, the price would be several times higher.
Seeing that it was the corpse of a demon cultivator, the on-duty deacon did not dare to make a decision on his own, but called the elder on duty.
After the elder made an appraisal, he determined the score.
Speaking of which, Han Yi still recognized this elder. That was the second time he went out, when he was in Tianqing City. The leader was a foundation-building elder. His name was: Gu Yu.
Gu Yu obviously recognized Han Yi. Han Yi killed a demon cultivator in the Wanxing Sea and won the fourth place in the Qi training chapter of the Demon Killing List. Although the low-level disciples of the inner and outer peaks did not know, all the elders of the sect had heard of it. Therefore, Gu Yu did not act like an elder to Han Yi.
After a while, Han Yi left Qinglong Palace.
This time, he did not exchange the points for materials for alchemy or spirit stones, but kept them. He had already made arrangements for these points.
Back at the Qinglong Peak courtyard, Han Yi began to retreat.
This time, he planned to retreat until he reached the peak of Qi training before coming out.
The improvement of his bones and the perfection of his skills made Han Yi's practice, after entering the eighth level of Qi training, no slower than before the seventh level.
All this came from his solid foundation.
After practicing in Wanxinghai for a year and a half, Han Yi went from the initial ninth level of Qi training to the senior ninth level. In his estimation, it would take about two and a half years from senior Qi training to the peak of Qi training, that is, the progress bar would advance to more than 90/100 of the ninth level of Qi training.
At this moment of retreat.
Han Yi is already forty-five years old. It has been sixteen years since the first attack of the Blood God Sect, and twenty-four years since Han Yi traveled through time.
There is no time in practice.
I don't know if it was Yuan Shun's instructions or if there was nothing for him to do, but no one came to disturb him in the past two and a half years.
This courtyard seemed to have been forgotten.
Two and a half years later.
Outside the courtyard, the jade sign "Do Not Disturb" was hung on a bright lamp in front of the door. No dust fell and it was still clean.
In the courtyard, the Seven Star Xuanyuan Formation was silently opened without any movement. However, if someone could really break the courtyard's own defensive formation and step into this room, they would not be able to break this second-level formation in a short time.
In the quiet room, a young man sat cross-legged. The richness of the spiritual energy in the room had reached a terrifying level. If a low-level cultivator stepped into this room, all the cells in his body would be extremely excited. With one breath, he could feel the mana in his body increase significantly.
At a certain moment, the young man sitting cross-legged opened his eyes, his eyes were misty, and the spiritual energy was floating.
The young man was of course Han Yi.
He frowned at first, then counted with his fingers, and realized that only two and a half years had passed, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
During this retreat, he did not leave any thoughts to the outside world, and paid attention to the passage of time, just like when he had just crossed over and missed the opportunity to hand in the elixir due to cultivation, and was sent down the mountain.
However.
Although he did not leave any thoughts this time, the difficulty of the increase of the mana in his body awakened him.
There were new changes on the translucent red panel in front of him.
[Name: Han Yi]
[Lifespan: 47/149]
[Realm: Ninth Level of Qi Training (91/100)]
[Gongshu: Huo Gang Xuan Gong (Perfect 49/100)]
The progress of the realm column has reached 91% of the ninth level. In other words, after two and a half years, Han Yi is now a cultivator at the peak of Qi training.
He stood up slowly. The mana in his body did not change much in quality, and in quantity, it only increased by less than half a percent. And this half-percent increase seemed to touch a certain invisible ceiling in the dark, and the growth rate began to become extremely slow, and it can even be said that it was stagnant.
A cultivator at the peak of Qi training can build a foundation at any time. If they continue to practice, even if the progress reaches 100/100, the impact on the success rate of building a foundation is minimal.
Only after breaking through to the legendary Qi training, the success rate of building a foundation will leap to a whole new level.
Generally speaking, the senior ninth level has a 20% chance of successfully building a foundation, while the peak of Qi training is 50%, and the legendary Qi training is 80%.
However, if you want to build a first-class immortal foundation, you need to be at least at the peak of Qi training.
Han Yi's strength has reached the legendary cultivator, and among the legendary cultivators, he is at the top level, which has been proven in the Wanxinghai.
Legendary cultivators are not a realm, but an honorary title.
Generally speaking, a cultivator who has reached the peak of Qi training and has raised his realm to 100/100, and then has a new understanding of combat power, can be called a legend.
However, Han Yi is special.
For him, at this moment, he can be called a legend.
However, he does not know whether his success rate of foundation building is calculated according to the 50% of the peak of Qi training or the 80% of the legendary cultivator.
None of this is important. When he advances the progress to 100/100, the success rate will be an absolute 80%.
Han Yi flicked his sleeves, and the door of the quiet room creaked open. He stood up, and the spiritual stone fragments around his body were scattered by the wind.
Then, he stepped out.
Xiaolingxu Peak, Lingxu Tower.
Zheng Hai drank wine, and the joy on his face could not help but show.
"Brother Han, you finally have time to come and drink with me. I thought you had forgotten me a long time ago."
Zheng Hai said teasing words, but his mouth did not stop, as if he was willing to stop only after drinking all the wine Han Yi invited him to drink.
Han Yi cursed and said, "Get lost", but there was a smile on his face.
After he left, he suddenly remembered that he had not contacted Zheng Hai for a long time, and happened to remember a promise he had made in the past, so he came to Xiaolingxu Peak. Zheng Hai happened to be in the peak, so he called him to drink together.
Over the years, he has been in seclusion for cultivation, and his state has always been tense. At this moment, he is in a relaxed mood. Han Yi feels that there have been subtle changes in his mentality.
It is difficult to cultivate immortals, and only by alternating between tension and relaxation can it last.
"By the way, Peak Master Li accumulated merits last year and was rewarded with a foundation-building pill. He has successfully built his foundation and has been awarded the position of elder. He has moved from Xiaolingxu Peak to Xiaolongxu Peak and became the Peak Master of Xiaolongxu Peak."
"The three-year period is coming soon. The position of Peak Master of Xiaolingxu Peak is vacant. According to the sect's rules, it will be offered to all Qi training disciples in the sect to compete. Han Yi, do you want to take the position?"
The Peak Master Li mentioned by Han Yi is Li Heng, who is the second Peak Master of Xiaolingxu Peak after Han Yi joined. Unexpectedly, he has also accumulated points over the years, accumulated strength and entered the foundation-building period.
It's not just that he is silently accumulating strength, but others are the same.
"No."
"Why? Let me calculate. You were sent down the mountain once, were forcibly recruited once, went to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain once, and went to the Shanhai Gathering of Immortals once. You have been out four times in a row. Your strength must have been enough. If you say you have already established your foundation, I will not be surprised."
Zheng Hai drank a glass of wine in big gulps and filled it up for himself.
Han Yi was stunned when he heard it, and then he reacted.
Zheng Hai said that every time he went down the mountain, his strength improved by leaps and bounds.
Although it was not exactly the same, it was almost the same. Moreover, Han Yi also went to Daofu City and Nanhuai City, and Zheng Hai was not aware of these two times.
"By the way, you have reached the sixth level of Qi training. Congratulations."
Han Yi changed his tone and continued to congratulate. Then, he threw a storage bag and said:
"Here are some spirit stones, spirit pills and magic tools. You can use them for now."
"If you need any other resources, you can come to me directly."
"When you reach the peak of Qi training, I will get you another foundation-building pill."
This is Han Yi's promise, but he did not tell Zheng Hai about this promise. He just made it silently in his heart.
Zheng Hai did not say politely to Han Yi. He probed into the ownerless storage bag with his mind and exclaimed.
"So many?"
Han Yi smiled: "Not much."
Yes, the resources Han Yi gave Zheng Hai were not many. There were only 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, many spirit pills and magic medicines, plus three mid-grade swords.
For him now, this amount of resources is indeed a drop in the bucket.
In the past, he did not dare to take it out. The main reason was that he was afraid of being targeted by others and could only practice silently by himself.
Now, his strength is his confidence. With enough strength and confidence, he can deduct his own resources and share some with Zheng Hai. In his opinion, there is no risk.
"Don't think too much, just practice with peace of mind." Han Yi added.
Zheng Hai's face was a little excited. These spirit stones, considering his cultivation level of just entering the sixth level of Qi training, are indeed a huge fortune.
"That's great. Since we are so familiar with each other, I won't be polite to you."
Zheng Hai did not postpone it. He knew Han Yi's character. Postponement would be inappropriate.
"By the way, does the sect have any new policies recently?" Han Yi asked.
He had been in seclusion for two and a half years. As soon as he came out of seclusion, he went directly to Zheng Hai. He did not go to Doufa Peak. But Zheng Hai was quite keen on Doufa Peak. In recent years, he spent half of his time practicing and half of his time fighting.
"No, the sect has been quiet in recent years."
"Two years ago, the escort plan and the consultant elder plan were directly stopped, and only the new peak master plan was retained."
"However, in recent years, there are enough foundation-building elders in the sect. Not counting the consultant elders, the number of elders in the sect alone has exceeded 100. On the Heavenly Ranking, only the top 100 are ranked. Those after the 100th are not on the list."
Han Yi raised his eyebrows. There is only one and a half years left before the 20-year period with Xuandan Sect. Logically speaking, it is already a critical moment. Why did the sect relax its vigilance?
There must be a key inside story that he is not aware of.
"By the way, Senior Brother Guan Di has already reached the eighth level of Qi training. I met him on Doufa Peak last time." Zheng Hai added.
Han Yi nodded. His impression of Guan Di was already a figure in his memory.
Moreover, when he thought of Guan Di, he thought of Guan Sheng, Guan Di's uncle, whom he met when he was sent to Mengshan City more than 20 years ago.
At that time, he had just traveled through time and arrived at the Xuanhuo Danpu in Mengshan City. Looking back now, Guan Sheng's attitude towards him was too friendly. There was definitely something wrong with it. However, at Han Yi's current point, he did not want to pursue it.
Speaking of which, it was also the things that happened in Mengshan City that laid the foundation for his caution and low-keyness.
The two talked about the recent events in the sect, and Han Yi got up and left.
After Han Yi left, Zheng Hai put away his relaxed expression, and his calm face seemed a little complicated.
Although he had long understood that he and Han Yi were people from two different worlds, he had never accepted his fate, and when Han Yi took out resources for him, he suddenly let it go.
"Han Yi, the immortal road is long, I really want to see with my own eyes how far you can go."
With a sigh, Zheng Hai restarted his steps and left.
On the other side.
Han Yi went down Xiaolingxu Peak and returned to Qinglong Peak. When he walked up Qinglong Peak, he met an acquaintance.
He Fengdi.
He Fengdi was dressed in a black robe and had just come out of Qinglong Palace. When he saw Han Yi, his eyes flashed.
"Junior Brother Han."
Han Yi saw that it was He Fengdi and replied "Senior Brother He."
He Fengdi smiled when he saw that Han Yi was not too polite and did not call him Elder He, but Senior Brother He. This showed that the relationship between the two had not changed because he had already established his foundation.
That's right, more than two years ago, He Fengdi was already on the list of the ten disciples in the third batch of the escort plan. That time, he successfully established his foundation and became the elder of Baihu Peak.
"Junior Brother Han, a few days ago, I went to your courtyard to look for you, but I found that you were in seclusion, so I didn't disturb you."
"Junior Brother Han, do you have anything important to do? If not, how about going to Dengxian Pavilion with me for a drink?"
Han Yi thought about it and agreed to it since there was nothing else to do.
After a while.
The two entered the Dengxian Pavilion, and He Fengdi also opened a private room. The private room was on the third floor of the Dengxian Pavilion. Generally, it only served the elders in the foundation-building period.
This was also Han Yi's second time to enter the Dengxian Pavilion and his first time to step into a private room.
"Today, I am honored to have a glimpse of the true style of the Dengxian Pavilion thanks to Senior Brother He."
Han Yi opened the window. Outside the window, the sea of clouds was misty, the fairy air was visible, and the breeze blew on his face, which made him feel refreshed.
However, although the Dengxian Pavilion was built on the edge of the Qinglong Peak, it was covered by a formation, so there would naturally be no strong winds.
"What a beautiful scenery. From here, you can see the beautiful scenery of the Xuandan Sect. The White Tiger is in the east, the Vermillion Bird is in the south, and the Black Tortoise is in the north. In the back, the five peaks of Zhurong, Jinting, Chiyang, Fuhai, and Jiandan are stacked up and compete endlessly."
He Fengdi smiled, and knew that Han Yi's previous sentence was just a joke.
"Junior Brother Han, your strength is no less than mine. It is an honor for the Dengxian Pavilion that you step into it."
"By the way, Junior Brother Han, you killed a demon cultivator with one sword in the Wanxing Sea. The elders of the foundation-building sect have already known about this."
Han Yi's face did not change. Two and a half years ago, when he returned to Xuandan Sect, he knew that the news of his killing of a demon would definitely spread. At least the elders of the sect would definitely know about it. Even most of the inner disciples at the peak of Qi training might know that he has the strength of legendary Qi training.
However, with his current strength, he is no longer afraid of being coveted by others.
"Senior Brother He thinks highly of me."
Han Yi did not say much. He half-closed the window and sat back in the elegant seat. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart.
"Senior Brother He, I heard that the sect has been relatively stable for more than two years and nothing major has happened. Does Senior Brother He have any news?"
Han Yi did not say it clearly, but He Fengdi knew what he was referring to.
He straightened his face.
"Junior Brother Han, you don't know."
"Although the sect seems to be stable, disputes have arisen again in secret."
