Perfect *Qi* Refining

Chapter 47 Perfect Qi Refining (Seeking Follow-Up Reads~)

With a boom.

The Violet Origin Pill shattered, and a rolling wave of Qi overflowed in all directions.

Deng Baiyi staggered back a step.

Her reaction was extremely fast, and she immediately deployed a Purification Talisman. Xie Zhen had taught her that these talismans could not only be used to isolate sound, but also to isolate Qi and divine sense.

Xie Zhen's condition was terrible right now.

Deng Baiyi knew she couldn't help, but she could at least protect this place with talismans.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

One Purification Talisman after another was flung out by Deng Baiyi.

These were all drawn during her secluded cultivation on the journey east. Normally, she always carried them in her pocket like treasures, but now she scattered them like worthless white paper.

The Purification Talismans fluttered in the sky, suspended in mid-air, suppressing all directions.

The Qi overflowing from Little Barren Mountain disappeared back into the night.

Xie Xuanyi's physical condition was extremely "complex" at this moment.

He had never felt such contradictory pain.

His bone marrow was icy cold, his blood was boiling, this extreme cold and burning alternating repeatedly… If it were any other cultivator, their body would probably have rotted and their divine soul would have collapsed.

Southern Borderlands Gu blood was a deadly poison in the world.

But Xie Xuanyi endured it silently, accepting it all.

His body was trembling, but his divine soul was as steady as Mount Tai.

Although the spread of the Gu blood was excruciating, he had experienced even more pain.

He used his powerful willpower to suppress the heart-wrenching pain of the Gu blood, and then welcomed the majestic Qi of the Violet Origin Pill!

The medicinal power of this Violet Origin Pill was almost ten times that of the previous Azure Origin Pill!

Xie Xuanyi gritted his teeth and gathered the Qi to his forearm...

Accompanied by a Blood Essence-boiling roar.

Boom!

The long-blocked forty-fourth major acupoint was ignited!

Rolling Qi like a great river, nourishing the dried meridians of Xie Xuanyi's new body.

Recovering from the pain, Xie Xuanyi was no longer satisfied with just opening one acupoint... After the Violet Origin Pill shattered, Qi was pouring into his body, but it was also dissipating outwards!

He used the power of his divine soul to manipulate the Qi, surging into his body from all directions.

Completely suppressing the already spreading Gu blood!

The body that had been eroded by the Gu blood suddenly rose with billowing white smoke!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One roar after another sounded in succession, Xie Xuanyi's complexion gradually changed from pale to ruddy. In less than a hundred breaths, he had ignited more than thirty major acupoints, and the Violet Origin Pill's Qi had not even been half consumed... And the Gu blood that had originally spread to the ends of his limbs was forcibly compressed to the dantian.

"In one breath... Foundation Establishment."

Xie Xuanyi simply went all the way and directly began to break through to Foundation Establishment!

This Violet Origin Pill came at just the right time.

Xie Xuanyi concentrated all his mind on the dantian.

He had already experienced the Qi Refining stage of cultivation once... But this time, the "re-cultivation" became exceptionally difficult.

The acupoints that he could easily ignite in the past, without any effort, were now widened tenfold, or even more—

The Qi of the Violet Origin Pill had to be condensed until it turned golden before it could be ignited!

But similarly.

After these acupoints were ignited one after another, reaching a hundred, Xie Xuanyi felt a change in his body.

He became lighter, almost like a feather, able to rise with the wind!

The so-called Qi Refining is a heaven-defying act of mortals using the Qi of heaven and earth to change their own physique.

Of course, there are also strengths and weaknesses in the Qi Refining stage.

Leaving aside all external objects, and fighting with one's own strength... Those lucky ones who are born with strong bones are likely to crush those who are born weak and sickly.

This is "talent."

Xie Xuanyi had not experienced the legendary "marrow cleansing". Even when the Daoist Sect Great Master personally performed empowerment for him, washing his muscles and bones, Xie Xuanyi had never felt like this before.

This was simply a "rebirth"!

Sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop, Xie Xuanyi opened his eyes, wind and thunder already gathering within them.

At that moment, he subconsciously threw a punch.

Boom, a sound of rushing wind echoed.

About ten feet away, a massive, huggable boulder exploded, a spiderweb of cracks spreading across it!

This punch didn't contain any Sword Intent; it was just the force of the punch itself... that caused such a scene.

A glint of light flashed in Xie Xuanyi's eyes: "The power of this punch is at least five times that of a Qi Refiner of the same level. It's almost comparable to a genius among body cultivators."

Drawing on the Qi of heaven and earth to nourish the body... this Qi Refining realm, although the most basic stage of cultivation, grants Qi Refiners strength far greater than ordinary mortals.

Body cultivators, on the other hand, follow a different path.

They focus more on physical training.

In the early stages of direct combat, body cultivators generally have the advantage.

But Xie Xuanyi's Qi Refiner body could already crush most body cultivators.

"There are still Violet Origin Pills left; continue."

Xie Xuanyi snapped back to reality, holding his breath.

There were still eight major acupoints left. The opportunity presented by the Violet Origin Pill was rare indeed. If possible, he wanted to ignite all the acupoints today!

He began to push with all his might—

The situation was rather ironic.

Xie Xuanyi lowered his gaze and gave a self-deprecating smile. His entire back was soaked with cold sweat.

If the him from ten years ago could see this scene, he probably wouldn't believe it.

What brought him into an unprecedented state of focus... was actually a breakthrough in the small Qi Refining stage.

"This Golden Qi is all gathering towards the dantian."

Xie Xuanyi entered a state of divine soul introspection.

Most of the Gu blood that Rank Six left in his body had already been burned away. The remaining traces were forced to the dantian by the Golden Qi. This was actually the most important place for a cultivator, but at this moment, the Gu blood was being burned away at an extremely fast rate... because the Golden Qi from Xie Xuanyi's entire body was converging here.

They churned, they drew closer, they condensed.

They were becoming a tiny drop of water.

This drop of water was coveted and drooled over by countless people.

As Xie Xuanyi's progress in impacting the one hundred and eight acupoints gradually reached its end, this tiny drop of water gradually took shape. Rank Six's Gu blood was completely eliminated, and the Golden Qi showed a "return to simplicity" with its snow-white color. Countless vaporized golden mists gradually condensed into a drop of water.

Finally, heaven and earth became quiet, and Blood Essence surged.

Xie Xuanyi successfully ignited the last major acupoint. The acupoints all over his body burst forth with the sound of wind and thunder, and the Golden Qi could interact, merging with each other.

He successfully advanced to the "Second Realm."

Xie Xuanyi's expression was neither happy nor sad. His attention was now completely drawn to the drop of water suspended in his dantian.

It was a drop of snow-white water, pure to the extreme. Xie Xuanyi could only describe it as perfect.

Just like the one hundred and eight Qi Refining acupoints he had ignited.

Flawless, without the slightest imperfection.

This ordinary drop of water, with just one glance, would make people's gaze sink and become immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves...

This drop of water contained an extremely vibrant life force.

It was the power to "break the mold," surpassing the constraints of heaven and earth.

Legend has it that the Immortal Spring can revive the dead and regrow flesh and bones... This was a bit too mysterious, and Xie Xuanyi wasn't sure if the tiny drop of water before him could do it.

But he vaguely felt that.

The vibrant life force contained in this drop of water should allow a "dying person" who was about to die to remain in the world for a moment longer.

So the Immortal Spring really can extend life.

Even if it's just for a split second.

This split second also broke through the boundary of the iron law of life and death.

Xie Xuanyi murmured softly, "This, is this the Immortal Spring?"
