Breakthrough, Ninth Layer of Qi Refining!

"Do as I taught you before. Watch the house. If any Spirit Fish break through, kill them and put them in the Storage Bag. Remember, don't go to the front courtyard. If someone comes, hide in the old place."

The old place was naturally the bathroom. If she hid in there, no normal person would pay attention.

Besides, under normal circumstances, no one would dare barge into the courtyard of Ji Yuan, a Late Qi Refining cultivator.

After giving Tu Yue his instructions, Ji Yuan watched her head blankly toward the rear courtyard.

Only then did he raise his hand and toss out several talismans, pasting them around the entrance.

Though the Cave Abode already had a soundproofing effect, Ji Yuan still set up numerous protective measures to avoid being disturbed by other commotion.

Things like Spirit-Isolation Talismans that blocked spiritual energy, or Homeguard Talismans used to protect a house, were all Middle-Grade talismans and worth little.

Their strength lay in their practicality.

Heaven and earth might be vast, but breakthroughs came first!

After handling all this, Ji Yuan willed nearly five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones out of his Storage Bag and piled them around himself. Then he circulated the Azure Sea Tide Art, and threads of spiritual energy seeped from the surrounding Spirit Stones into his body.

As long as one had sufficient spiritual energy reserves, breakthroughs during the Qi Refining Stage were basically a matter of water flowing naturally into its channel.

So all he had to do next was wait.

With the experience of several previous breakthroughs, Ji Yuan estimated that even if these five hundred Spirit Stones were insufficient, they would not fall short by much.

The breakthrough from the Eighth Layer to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining was still merely a minor breakthrough within
