Absorbing the Earth Spirit Pearl, Qi Refining Sixth Level!

Chapter 14: Absorbing the Earth Spirit Pearl, Qi Refining Sixth Level!

"Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art."

"A basic Qi condensing technique that allows one to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use!"

"I didn't expect Bai Feng to have something like this on him. It seems he had plans beforehand and prepared for this!"

Qin Yang narrowed his eyes, surprised by this unexpected boon.

He had been worried about not having a technique to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Now, it was perfect. Bai Feng had delivered it right to him.

With this Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art, once he obtained the Earth Spirit Pearl, he wouldn't need to swallow it directly and risk his body exploding!

He continued his search and discovered that Bai Feng's clothes had a yellowed scroll sewn into them. If he hadn't searched meticulously, he would never have found it!

"This Bai Feng is quite something."

"He secretly prepared so many good things over the years!"

Qin Yang clicked his tongue and unrolled the yellowed scroll.

It was a map.

It only marked the location of a place called the Cave Immortal Land, along with descriptive text.

"Cave Immortal Land, a place of myriad wonders, profound and mysterious, where all under heaven ascend. Enter the gates of the Cave Immortal, cultivate the methods of myriad wonders, and attain eternal life!"

"Hiss."

Qin Yang couldn't help but gasp, his eyes filled with pleasant surprise.

This was a map to a sacred land of cultivation!

"It seems the Cave Immortal Land must be a glorious and prosperous cultivation holy land, a place of the righteous path."

"Bai Feng, Bai Feng, I really have to thank you for your preparations. With this map, I can search for the Cave Immortal Land for you later, and perhaps even have a chance to become a disciple."

"Don't worry, I'll cultivate your share for you too!"

Qin Yang rejoiced.

Thinking back, Bai Feng had truly been well-prepared.

Not only did he have the spiritual array to remove the poison of the Soul Locking Pill, but he had even prepared a fallback plan.

With this map, he could follow the route to the Cave Immortal Land in the future and escape this sea of suffering!

However, it now belonged to Qin Yang.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to strip Bai Feng completely, ensuring nothing was left behind before departing. He then rushed to Xiabai Town to retrieve the Earth Spirit Pearl.

As for the scroll he had just obtained, he could wait until his cultivation improved before embarking on that journey.

Having lived through several lifetimes, Qin Yang understood that this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. Without cultivation, he would be powerless wherever he went.

But with strength, everything would be different. He could firmly grasp his own destiny!

This time, Qin Yang traveled at full speed and reached Xiabai Town in less than half a day. It was just before dusk, so he had plenty of time.

"Azure Blood Crocodile, time is running out."

Qin Yang was eager to fight.

His current cultivation was far superior to before. He was now at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm, a full three levels higher than the Azure Blood Crocodile. He should be able to defeat it easily.

As expected.

The Azure Blood Crocodile was alerted and roared as it charged out.

However, with the combat experience from his previous life, Qin Yang was now skilled and familiar with the fight. He immediately blinded the Azure Blood Crocodile's eyes, and the rest was a piece of cake.

An hour later, the Azure Blood Crocodile fell with a mournful cry, its life extinguished.

Qin Yang easily obtained the Earth Spirit Pearl!

"I need to find a place to go into seclusion!"

Qin Yang immediately moved away from the waterlogged area.

He deliberately traveled more than twenty li away from Xiabai Town. After an "open and honest" conversation with a black bear, he successfully took over the bear's cave.

The black bear, having lost its life, had no objections.

"In this desolate place, no one should be able to find me, right?"

Qin Yang made some further arrangements, blocking the cave entrance, and finally felt at ease.

Then, he took out the Earth Spirit Pearl. Before that, of course, he had to cultivate the Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art.

This was a basic Qi Refining technique, and it wasn't difficult to cultivate.

Qin Yang himself possessed a Fire Spirit Root. Although it was only low-grade, he still had some talent for cultivation.

Swish!

He kept the incantation in mind, following the method above to continuously cultivate through a special rhythm of inhalation and exhalation, swallowing the mists and refining the dew!

After three days, Qin Yang succeeded.

He circulated the Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art, continuously mobilizing the spiritual power within his body to travel through his meridians and dantian, circulating one cycle after another without any obstruction.

Finally, it was naturally the Earth Spirit Pearl's turn.

Qin Yang tightly gripped the Earth Spirit Pearl in his hand, circulated the Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art, and slowly absorbed the spiritual energy from heaven and earth within it.

As expected, it worked quickly!

The Earth Spirit Pearl flickered with a faint light, releasing wisps of spiritual radiance, illuminating the dark cave dwelling.

In a hazy state, he could even see wisps of spiritual energy from heaven and earth being drawn out of the Earth Spirit Pearl, rhythmically entering Qin Yang's nose and mouth according to a special cadence.

After refining this pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth, his entire body felt comfortable, as if he were about to ascend to immortality.

His cultivation was also steadily improving.

After four days, Qin Yang's realm broke through, entering the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm!

However, it still wasn't over.

Qin Yang diligently cultivated, finding joy in his labor, without the slightest slackening.

In the end, a faint aura of spiritual energy even began to surround him, making him appear as if he were in a spiritual realm, exuding an extraordinary aura!

This time, Qin Yang cultivated for nearly ten days before finally breaking through again, reaching the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm!

Buzz!

A palpable surge of power broke through some kind of barrier, causing Qin Yang's aura to ascend, becoming several times stronger than before.

He tried to mobilize the spiritual power within his body, looking inward, and found that the spiritual power had become quite dense, flowing like liquid through every meridian in his body, finally gathering in his dantian, forming a small pool.

Compared to before absorbing the Earth Spirit Pearl, his strength had at least doubled!

"If I encounter Bai Feng again now, I should be able to kill him with a single punch, right?"

Qin Yang mused, very satisfied with his current state.

Looking at the Earth Spirit Pearl in his hand, the spiritual energy from heaven and earth within it had been completely absorbed. After losing its spiritual essence, it was just an ordinary bead, with no further use.

Qin Yang wasn't worried about this at all, because as long as he restarted the next life, he could obtain the Earth Spirit Pearl again for cultivation.

This was a fixed respawning starting resource!

"I wonder how big the gap is between my current strength and that old devil Xuan Chengzi's, and if I have the capital to contend with him."

Qin Yang suddenly had a thought.

After all, if he had the strength to contend with that old fellow, he wouldn't be forced to take the Soul Locking Pill, and thus could safely escape.

But then he thought again, not daring to gamble in his current state.

If he were to lose and be captured alive by Xuan Chengzi, the other party would undoubtedly resort to any means necessary to interrogate him, making it difficult even to die.

He absolutely could not take the risk without absolute certainty!
