Chapter 512: It Seems Like a Lifetime Ago

The conflict between the seven major immortal sects and Jingfeng Pavilion gradually subsided, and Qingyang and others gradually became free. They only needed to stay near the spirit stone veins and didn't need to worry about other things. The monsters living in the surrounding hundreds of miles had long been eliminated, and there were no blind cultivators on the Jiuzhou Continent who came to harass the spirit stone veins of the seven major immortal sects. It was normal to be free.

However, they all knew that the inner courtyard competition was getting closer and closer, and they must seize every opportunity to improve their cultivation in order to have a better chance of winning in the battle to seize the foundation-building pill.

Several inner courtyard disciples stayed at home, and almost all of their time was spent in cultivation and seclusion. The spirit stone veins of Qingfeng Pavilion had been normal, and no one would come to disturb them casually. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

In the past six months, Qingyang's cultivation level has improved a little, but not much. It is still far from the perfection of the eighth level of Qi Refining. Before the inner courtyard competition began, it was unlikely to break through the ninth level of Qi Refining. If there was no other way, it was unlikely to seize the foundation-building pill during the competition.

Chen Biwang might be able to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining before the competition, but his overall strength is not as good as Qingyang, so it is unlikely that he will get the foundation-building pill in this competition. Unknowingly, Qingyang's strength has gradually surpassed his senior brother Chen Biwang.

Qingyang has already thought of a way to quickly improve his cultivation, which is to use that high-quality spirit stone. Spirit stones can also be used to improve cultivation, but they are too luxurious for ordinary cultivators, and the cost-effectiveness is not high. The waste is not as much as the absorption, so it is better to replace them with pills.

However, Qingyang does not have this problem for the time being. He has no shortage of spirit stones, so it is okay to waste some spirit stones. However, ordinary spirit stones are not efficient. If he borrows that high-quality spirit stone, he may be able to improve his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining in a short time.

However, it cannot be used now. The place for cultivation in Jingfeng Mountain is too simple. If you are not careful, you will leak your secrets. Moreover, there are only a few cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining here. If there is a little disturbance, it will easily attract the attention of other cultivators. It is better to wait until we return to Qingfeng Hall.

There was one thing that bothered him in the past six months, which was the foundation-building pill that Yu Mengmiao gave him. Of course, he should keep such a good thing for himself, but looking at the gradually aging iron-armed monkey in the Drunken Immortal Gourd, Qingyang hesitated again.

This iron-armed monkey was a great help to him. He couldn't bear to watch him die of old age. Now the iron-armed monkey's cultivation has reached the level of perfect Qi Refining. If he gave him this foundation-building pill, it is very likely that he would break through to the fourth level.

By then, he would have two helpers in the foundation-building period. Just thinking about it would make him feel a little more confident.

But he only had this one foundation-building pill. If he gave it to the iron-armed monkey, he would have none. The inner courtyard competition rewards foundation-building pills, but Qingyang dare not pin all his hopes on it. What if he fails? There are thousands of disciples in the inner courtyard of Qingfeng Hall, and there are hundreds of them who have perfected Qi Refining. How can he guarantee that he can stand out in such a fierce competition?

Refining the foundation-building pill is also a way. He even prepared a lot of materials for it, but Qingyang did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to refine the foundation-building pill. The foundation-building pill is extremely difficult for a foundation-building pill master, let alone a Qi-refining cultivator. What if it fails?

If the inner courtyard competition and the refining of the foundation-building pill fail, won’t he have no foundation-building pill to use? If he can’t become a Qi-refining cultivator, what’s the use of having two helpers in the foundation-building period?

However, Qingyang felt that his luck could not be that bad, and he still had a way out. If he failed in the inner courtyard competition this time, there would be the next time. He was only in his thirties this year. The inner courtyard competition was held every ten years. He could at least participate in two or three inner courtyard competitions. Could it be that he would not succeed once?

He could wait, but the iron-armed monkey could not. Once he missed these years, the iron-armed monkey would die, and he would regret it. After thinking it over, Qingyang still hadn't made up his mind. He had been hesitant for the past six months and couldn't make up his mind.

Let's not talk about other things for now. After one year, the tasks of these inner courtyard disciples have been completed. The replacement disciples have come. After the handover, they can leave. Chen Biwang came to Qingyang and planned to return to Qingfeng Hall together, but Qingyang refused. He was going to Yuling City.

The grievances with the Liang family have been dragged on for nearly twenty years. It's time to resolve them. Although the Liang family has an ancestor in the foundation-building period, Qingyang's strength is not bad. Not to mention the iron-armed spirit monkey with perfect Qi training, he also has the trump card of the alcoholic queen bee. With the strength of the alcoholic queen bee, even if he can't beat the ancestor of the Liang family, he can hold him back. I guess the Liang family doesn't dare to fight with him to the death.

Another reason is related to the age of Liang Yucai, the head of the Liang family. When Qingyang was in Yuling City, the head of the Liang family was nearly seventy years old. Now nineteen years have passed, and Liang Yucai is almost ninety years old. If he can't break through the foundation-building stage, this guy will die of old age in a few years. He is his number one enemy. Waiting for him to die before taking revenge, wouldn't it be easy for him?

Nanzhou is south of Liangzhou and Zhongzhou, and Jingfeng Mountain is close to Liangzhou, so it is only a few thousand miles to go directly from Jingfeng Mountain to Yuling Mountain in Liangzhou. Going to Yuling Mountain first and then returning to Qingfeng Palace is not on the way, but it is not much longer.

So after Qingyang said hello to Chen Biwang, he headed towards Liangzhou Yuling Mountain alone. Now Qingyang has reached the late stage of Qi Refining, and his speed of travel is much faster than before. It took only more than ten days to reach the Yuling Mountain.

The scope of Yuling Mountain is also very wide. Qingyang came from the south, passed through many mountains, and soon passed by a place called Qianku Cave. Nineteen years ago, Qingyang had come to this place with others in order to find the items of the Xianmen mission. From here to Yuling City, there are only more than a thousand miles, which is only two or three days for Qingyang now.

At the beginning, he only had the cultivation of the fifth level of Kaimai Realm, and was still a young boy who had just started out. In order to find the items of the Xianmen mission, he had to follow some other Kaimai Realm cultivators to venture here. He experienced many difficulties and obstacles, and also endured many dangers and hardships.

Nineteen years passed in the blink of an eye. I became a disciple in the inner courtyard of Qingfeng Palace, and my cultivation level has been raised to the eighth level of Qi Refining. I no longer have to struggle at the bottom of the immortal cultivation world. Even the Qi Refining cultivators who were once high and mighty are nothing in front of me. It really feels like a lifetime ago.
