The God of Jiu Li Has Slipped In

I've never even heard of Qi Ascension Pill.

This has opened up a whole new world for Li Weiyi!

But he quickly calmed down. "If you could refine it, you would have already done so. Just tell me, what's missing?"

"You lack Alchemy Furnace, you lack materials... to be precise, you lack everything. Of course, as long as you have money, these things can be easily bought in the capital city. Right now, the last thing you lack is money, right?" Zen Sea Observing Mist knew very well what he had done in Immortal Burial Town.

If we could really refine Qi Ascension Pill, it wouldn't just be a matter of spending money.

He's clearly aiming to make a lot of money.

"I need to wait a few more days and complete the cultivation of my first Qi Sea."

Li Weiyi thought of the Provincial Governor's Official Robe of Governor Zhu Qingfeng of Yan Province, and wanted to let her try to activate it to see if she could. However, she had some reservations, so she asked first, "May I ask, Mist Son of Heaven, the Provincial Governor's Official Seal on that Magic Tool Jade Boat is a treasure that I have been searching for. Do you intend to take it for yourself?"

Zen Sea Observing Mist is not a talkative person, but... this man in front of her is different after all, and she can be patient enough with him.

She said, "Let's put aside the fact that it was forged by me a thousand years ago. As for now, can you activate and use it?"

"Cannot."

Li Weiyi murmured this to himself, and thus temporarily abandoned the idea of taking out the Provincial Governor's Official Robe.

If we take this out now, we'll most likely lose it; we'll have to wait for another opportunity.

After breaking through to the Five Seas Realm, martial artists almost always choose to go into seclusion to accumulate energy. They will not fight with others for a short period of time, as this is a necessary stage to stabilize their realm.

For two whole days, Li Weiyi remained in meditation.

The moment the first Qi Sea was completely filled with Dharma Qi, the Qi Sea and the lungs resonated. Strands of Dharma Qi overflowed from the Qi Sea, entered the lungs, and enveloped them.

Li Weiyi felt a swelling in his chest, and exhaled a long breath of magical energy.

The Dharma energy, like wisps of smoke and clouds, transformed into a long bridge.

Then, inhale.

All the energy was quickly drawn back into the lungs and into the Qi Sea.

"The lungs Qi Sea have merged into one, and the first Qi Sea is finally complete. From now on, you can use Breathing Technique to absorb the energy of heaven and earth without having to rely solely on the ten springs."

"Breathing directly through the mouth and nose, even if all the Qi from the ten directions in the first Qi Sea is exhausted, it will only take one or two hours to replenish it."

"This is only the first lung lobe, the first Qi Sea! Next is cultivating the second Qi Sea and the second lung lobe."

Li Weiyi took out a rare herb Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine that could help open up the Qi Sea, swallowed it directly, and began to break through to the Second Realm of the Five Seas Realm.

Zen Sea Observing Mist sensed something, and a graceful, ethereal figure flew from the Magic Tool Jade Boat to the more than ten-meter-long Silver Coffin. It leaned slightly forward, gazed at the coffin lid, and listened to its interior.

What was that sound just now?

The spirits of the three masters immediately surrounded them.

They also noticed the subtle movement.

"Boom!"

With a flick of her red sleeve, Zen Sea Observing Mist flung open the heavy, enormous silver-white coffin lid, which then fell to the ground.

Inside the coffin, the eleven- or twelve-meter-long Silver Skeleton Celestial Clan lay quietly, its body radiating wisps of silver light. The interior of the bones was liquid, like galaxies compressed within.

"Whoosh--"

A colossal demonic shadow, seemingly capable of tearing apart the Blood Mud Space, burst forth from within the skeleton of the Silver Skeleton Celestial Clan. Wielding a battle axe, its imposing presence was awe-inspiring, blasting away the soul shadows of the three masters.

It was as if the Zen Sea Observing Mist had flown backwards and landed on the ground.

The demonic shadow was like a black cloud, extremely sinister, with boundless fighting spirit, seemingly capable of splitting the sky with a single axe. However, after rushing out for a moment, it surged back into the coffin like a tide and disappeared inside the skeleton of the Silver Skeleton Celestial Clan.

Zen Sea Observing Mist's expression was deep and solemn. "This doesn't seem like the power fluctuations of the Silver Skeleton Celestial Clan. Why does it resemble the King Cang of your Jiu Li Tribe?"

For the martial arts practitioners of the Jiu Li Tribe, the King Cang is a legend, Old Ancestor, and a figure of worship second only to the God of Jiu Li.

But to her, he was just a monk she had met before.

The Coffin Master's mangled corpse crawled out of the coffin, his soul restless, shouting, "That's the God of Jiu Li's Combat Intent... I know, I know! It was by Blood Moon Lake, at the burial site of the God of Jiu Li. This Battle Intent followed us into the Blood Mud Space and resided inside that Silver Skeleton Celestial Clan skeleton."

"That wisp of consciousness just now was indeed quite extraordinary. Could it truly be a technique left behind by the God of Jiu Li?" Master Urn asked.

The ever-calm and wise Coffin Master said, "It must be the God of Jiu Li's Combat Intent, but we don't know if it's one or several."

Master Urn asked, "Is the God of Jiu Li truly dead? Logically speaking, no matter how high his cultivation level, once he passes away, his Battle Intent should dissipate as well."

Coffin Master speculated, "It must be that before the God of Jiu Li buried himself, he used some unparalleled method that we cannot understand to preserve his Battle Intent at Blood Moon Lake. When I appeared there, the Battle Intent sensed me and left with me."

Master Urn refuted, "Then why doesn't this Battle Intent reside directly in your corpse, but instead resides in the skeleton of that Silver Skeleton Celestial Clan?"

Coffin Master didn't know the reason either, and sighed, "Perhaps the Ancestor felt that I was already a cripple and not worthy of possessing his Battle Intent."

The Spirit Tablet Master offered words of comfort in a low voice.

Li Weiyi, pale-faced and swaying, stood up, her lungs aching and blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and appeared before the group of deceased.

Zen Sea Observing Mist asked as if he had expected it, "Failed?"

"Um!"

Li Weiyi said, "After reaching the Five Seas Realm, the difficulty of breaking through to the next realm has indeed increased, and it is no longer an easy task."

Master Urn said, "It's not that the difficulty of breaking through to the Five Seas Realm has increased, it's that you're too impatient. You've only just completed the cultivation of the first Qi Sea, and you can't wait to start trying to break through to the Second Realm."

"How did you get injured?" Li Ling asked with concern.

The Master Urn said, "The lungs are damaged!"

Li Ling said, "If the lungs are injured, wouldn't that mean I won't be able to break through to the Second Realm the Five Seas Realm for a year?"

"It's not that bad. What he injured was the first lobe of his Qi Sea. With the nourishment of the Dharma Qi, it will recover quickly, but the pain will still be excruciating."

Master Urn continued, "To break through to the second Qi Sea, you must rely on the magical energy within the first Qi Sea. This places requirements on the strength of the lungs where the first Qi Sea is located. If the lungs are not strong enough, they will naturally be damaged."

Li Ling said, "Why didn't you tell him? Did you just stand by and watch him fail to break through and get injured?"

"His physical body is strong enough to withstand it. Even a failed attempt is a valuable experience, teaching him how much he needs to nurture his lungs before attempting to break through to the Second Realm of the Five Seas Realm!"

Master Urn added, "Besides, he might not have listened to my advice before, since he broke through to the Spring Realm too easily!"

Li Weiyi's expression turned serious, but he quickly recovered from his dejection and said with great fighting spirit, "That's right, I've gained a lot from this defeat. Now that my first Qi Sea and lungs are open, they'll heal quickly. I think it'll take at most half a month! Give me half a month, and I will definitely break through to the Second Realm the Five Seas Realm."

"Whoosh--"

Inside the Silver Coffin, a colossal demonic shadow burst forth once more, humanoid in form and possessing an imposing aura.

But unlike last time, the demonic figure held its hands in a fist, with a dark vortex between its palms that devoured all the light and energy around it.

A moment later, it receded like a tide.

Li Weiyi could feel the overwhelming pressure from the demonic aura within the shadow, making him feel as insignificant as dust. "If this is truly the God of Jiu Li's Combat Intent, Coffin Master, what do you think we should do?"

"Send him to the Jiu Li Hidden Gate and select a suitable successor. You are Hidden Person, so training hidden people is also your responsibility," Coffin Master said.

Master Urn said, "It's a pity that your Breathing Technique is too orthodox, completely opposite to the demonic techniques of the Jiu Li Tribe. Otherwise, if you absorbed it and made it your own, your combat power would be quite formidable."

The Coffin Master said, "Only those Li people who possess the bloodline of the Jiu Li Tribe can directly absorb it."

"While inheriting the God of Jiu Li's Combat Intent can certainly unleash powerful combat strength in a short period of time, I believe that the Battle Intent cultivated using the Chan Sect Twelve Loose Hand Techniques will go much further in the future."

After saying this, Zen Sea Observing Mist released wisps of magical energy from his fingertips, lifting the lid of the Silver Coffin from a distance and closing it again.

The Netherworld of the Departed, eternal darkness.

Li Weiyi crawled out of the cave, looked around to make sure there was no danger, and then took Li Ling and the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors out of the Buddha's Sarira.

After folding and putting away the Ghost Flag, he opened the Insect Tube and put all the Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor inside.

The Insect Tube was very crowded.

For the past month, the Seven Little Ones have been eating non-stop, consuming quite a lot of precious medicine.

The insect's body length has reached two and a half inches, and its strength has increased significantly.

Li Ling's pupils flashed with a Daoist light, her gaze identical to that of Zen Sea Observing Mist: "If you borrow the power of Lesser Yang Star to go to the sea area where the Fusang Divine Tree is located, and pick the Xihe Flower to feed them, their growth rate will be much faster than it is now."

Li Weiyi silently memorized it, deciding to deal with it after breaking through to become Great Mind Master.

He said, "Senior Zen Sea... Mist Son of Heaven... Hmm, there are countless experts in this Lingxiao Shengjing. Even if you use your spiritual energy to transmit your voice, it might still be overheard. I think it's necessary to give you a more modest way of addressing me."

"What ever."

Li Ling stepped out first and took the Zouwu out of the black cloth bag.

It has been fed regularly these past few days, so it hasn't starved to death.

"You present yourself as Li Ling, so it's not really appropriate to call you 'senior.' How about I just call you Li Ling?" Li Weiyi quickly followed and walked alongside her.

Li Ling was clearly dissatisfied. "Zen Heart, is that how you address me?"

"Then let's call her Chan Wu Girl!"

Li Weiyi said, "Miss Chan Wu, how long do you plan to take that wisp of your soul that belongs to me? Being able to pinpoint my location at any time really leaves me with no privacy and no sense of security."

"When did I say I had given up on Yang Jia?" Li Ling asked.

Li Weiyi said, "..."

"Give me some more time. I want to try and see if I can develop feelings for someone," Li Ling said.

Li Weiyi chuckled, speechless. "This isn't just your problem!"

"You can try it too, see if you can fall in love with me. Let's try it together?" Li Ling stopped, her phoenix eyes smiling, melting away the icy coldness and indifference deep in her pupils.

Li Weiyi met her gaze for a moment, sensing her sincerity, and said, "Since Miss Chan Wu has sincerely invited me, I have no problem giving it a try; consider it a form of spiritual cultivation. However, you are occupying Li Ling's body. I fear that after this cultivation, my Dao heart might be thrown into chaos, and I might fall in love with both of them. Wouldn't that be a terrible situation?"

Li Ling thought for a moment and said, "You can give me some of your blood. After I absorb it, my true form can leave Li Ling body at night. Don't worry, I'll exchange it for pills. You won't be left empty-handed."

"What exactly is this under the guise of? A romantic relationship?" Li Weiyi asked.

Li Ling's eyes sparkled, as she tried to recapture the feeling of her youth, saying, "A love between an emperor and a mortal? A love between yin and yang? They both seem to have some taboos, are somewhat inappropriate, and are completely unrelated. But how will we know if they're suitable if we don't try?"

The two walked into the night, which gradually grew hazy.

"Okay, hopefully it will be a good ending."
