Rewards for Qi Refining Eighth Layer

Task:

Break through to Qi Refining Eighth Layer (Progress: 0/1)

Reward: Thousand Year Spiritual Milk *1

Accept: Yes/No

Lu Yi: "????"

As he looked at the reward, question marks slowly surfaced in Lu Yi's mind.

It actually worked?! And the reward was actually Thousand Year Spiritual Milk?!

Lu Yi's heart immediately twisted in pain. When he had broken through to Qi Refining Seventh Layer before, he had not issued a task at all. What a colossal loss!

Lu Yi almost wanted to cry. He took several deep breaths before finally calming down.

What was past was past. Regret was useless. From now on, he had to build good habits—issue all kinds of task prompts anytime, anywhere, and see whether he could trigger a task.

Lu Yi made up his mind and accepted the task at the same time.

Afterward, Lu Yi circulated the White Cloud Qi Guiding Art and began charging at the bottleneck.

The White Cloud Qi Guiding Art had reached lv9, and its power was far greater than before. When Lu Yi had broken through to Qi Refining Seventh Layer, that bottleneck had put up a little resistance. This time, however, with the White Cloud Qi Guiding Art and the Spiritual Qi from the Hundred Year Spiritual Milk, the bottleneck could not resist at all. Lu Yi shattered through it almost instantly.

Spiritual Qi circulated within Lu Yi's body, slowly tempering his flesh as well. He exhaled a breath of turbid air and opened his eyes.

Qi Refining Eighth Layer.

This time, Lu Yi was not as overjoyed as before. Breakthroughs would become commonplace for him in the future. He had to learn to get used to them.

After breaking through, Lu Yi immediately chose to claim the reward. A porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. He opened it and took a sniff; the concentration of Spiritual Qi drifting out far surpassed that of Hundred Year Spiritual Milk.

He tucked the Thousand Year Spiritual Milk into his clothes, feeling somewhat troubled. He had too many good things now.

Hundred Year Spiritual Milk, Thousand Year Spiritual Milk, high-grade magic items, Perfect Foundation Establishment Pills, and so on...

He did not even know where to put them.

Fortunately, he could enter the inner sect tomorrow. Once he entered the inner sect, he would receive a Space Ring...

Lu Yi was counting on getting a Space Ring to store all his treasures.

With that previous lesson in mind, Lu Yi was afraid he would forget again, so he issued himself another task in his mind: break through to Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

Just as expected, the reward was still a drop of Thousand Year Spiritual Milk.

Looking at the reward, he was immediately motivated. He closed his eyes and happily began cultivating.

Early the next morning, Lu Yi slowly opened his eyes, a glint of spiritual light flashing through them.

After cultivating all night, he had absorbed the Spiritual Qi in the Hundred Year Spiritual Milk and completely stabilized his Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivation.

Rising from bed, Lu Yi stretched lazily, left his room, and arrived at the Main Hall.

Inside the hall, Lu Gaoyang sat at the table, wiping down his treasured middle-grade magic item longsword.

Lu Yi took one glance before looking away. If it had been before, he definitely would have wanted to touch it. But now... he, Lu, was a man with a high-grade magic item.

Seeing Lu Yi enter, Lu Gaoyang put away his longsword and said with a smile, "Yi'er, you're up quite early today."

Lu Yi sat down at the table and nodded with a smile. "Mm, I finished my cultivation task early today. By the way, where's Mother?"

Lu Yi looked around and saw that Wang Siqi was not there.

Just then, Wang Siqi walked in from outside, a faint smile on her lovely face. "I went to the kitchen to make breakfast."

As she spoke, she took out serving after serving of breakfast from her Space Ring.

It had to be said, having Space Rings in this world was much more convenient than in his previous world. At the very least, when carrying dishes, there was no need to worry about having too many and making several trips. Put them all in a Space Ring, and one trip was enough.

Watching Wang Siqi continuously take out breakfast, Lu Yi said cheerfully, "Mother, why is breakfast so lavish today?"

Lu Gaoyang beside him also said with a chuckle, "How could it not be lavish? You brat are finally entering the inner sect. From now on, no one can interfere with your mother and me enjoying our world for two."

The smile on Lu Yi's face froze. "???"

Wang Siqi gave Lu Gaoyang a faint, chilly glance from the side, and Lu Gaoyang's smile froze as well.

Wang Siqi sat down, placed a bun in Lu Yi's bowl, and said with a smile, "Yi'er, you'll still need to cultivate diligently after entering the inner sect. Perhaps you won't even be able to return a few times a year. Today, Mother simply wanted to make you something delicious."

Meeting Wang Siqi's gentle gaze, Lu Yi felt warmth rise in his heart. He smiled. "Thank you, Mother."

Then he felt that something was not quite right. Why did entering the inner sect feel so much like leaving home for university in his previous life? The sense of déjà vu was too strong.

"Mm, eat." Wang Siqi said with a smile.

Lu Gaoyang's expression also turned serious. Looking at Lu Yi, he said, "Brat, your talent is indeed excellent now, but you must know that there are always greater people beyond greater people, and higher heavens beyond higher heavens. There are many people better than you. Once you enter the inner sect, don't stir up trouble. Cultivate properly."

Lu Yi hurriedly nodded. "Old Lu, don't you know me? I'm not the sort of person who goes around causing trouble."

Lu Gaoyang's expression relaxed, and he nodded with a smile. "I'm still at ease about you."

At that, he paused and looked at Lu Yi. "After entering the inner sect, you're going to Drifting Soul Peak?"

Lu Yi nodded. "Mm."

Liu Ningshuang's pretty face surfaced in his mind. Mm... he still had a task to make Senior Sister fall in love with him.

Ah, just thinking about it was rather embarrassing.

Lu Gaoyang nodded. "I hear Drifting Soul Peak's assessment is no simple matter. Be careful yourself."

Lu Yi smiled. "I understand."

Wang Siqi did not care much about it. "With Yi'er's talent, entering Drifting Soul Peak will definitely not be a problem. He might even become a disciple of the Drifting Soul Peak Master."

The three chatted as they finished breakfast, then Lu Yi and his parents left the hall.

In the small courtyard, Wang Siqi stroked Lu Yi's hair and said with a smile, "Once you enter the inner sect, remember to wear more clothes. Don't exhaust yourself cultivating either. Staying safe and sound is what matters most..."

Wang Siqi chattered on with her reminders, and Lu Yi listened with a smile, not interrupting her.

Only after a while did Lu Gaoyang say, "All right, it's about time."

Wang Siqi nodded, looked at Lu Yi, and said, "Go on."

Lu Yi smiled. "Old Lu, Mother, then I'm off."

Lu Gaoyang nodded. "Watch your safety."

Lu Yi waved to the two of them, then left home and ran toward the Outer Sect Main Hall.

The Outer Sect Main Hall was located on White Light Peak, not too far from White Spirit Peak. At Lu Yi's speed, he arrived before long.

At the summit of White Light Peak stood a magnificent, enormous palace—the Outer Sect Main Hall.

Beyond the entrance was a vast chamber. Outer Sect Grand Elder Dugu Fang, Jiang Fan, and the others were already there.

When Lu Yi arrived, several of them looked over. Jiang Fan chuckled. "Junior Brother Lu Yi, you're a little late."

Lu Yi nodded with a smile. "I chatted with my family a little longer."

Bai Yulong gently waved his folding fan and sighed. "Junior Brother Lu Yi still has it good. His family is right here in the White Cloud Sect."

The others all nodded, deeply feeling the same.

Among cultivators who joined the White Cloud Sect and became Outer Sect Disciples, the vast majority had families in the mortal world. Some disciples might come from good families, from cultivation clans, or even be princes and princesses of kingdoms. Yet compared to an immortal cultivation sect, they naturally could not measure up.

The White Cloud Sect controlled quite a few kingdoms. Even children of nobles and royalty took pride in joining the White Cloud Sect.

Those from great clans and noble families had it somewhat better. But disciples born into ordinary mortal families were basically separated from their families by the divide between immortals and mortals after joining the White Cloud Sect, and might only see them a few times in their entire lives.

For Outer Sect Disciples who were still young, that feeling was exceedingly complicated.

"All right. Since Lu Yi is here too, let us set out for the inner sect." Dugu Fang said with a smile.

Everyone's eyes brightened with anticipation. Even Lu Yi was no exception. At last, he was going to the inner sect.

The inner sect was where the White Cloud Sect's true elites gathered. Its resources and cultivation arts were completely different from those of the outer sect.
