Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 297: Chapter 153: Ninth Level Qi Refinement, Summary and Inventory of Attributes (Seeking Subscription !)_2

“In Luo Feng Mountain, could they really be undertaking some sort of Spirit Vein upgrade project?”

“Forget it, don’t think too much for now. At least this place can still support my cultivation.”

Luo Chen gathered his state of mind and fell into the tranquility of an ancient well, practicing the Longevity Technique.

Four days later.

Luo Chen opened his eyes, first coughing lightly, then his face showed a surprised joy.

He was at the Ninth Level Qi Refinement Stage!

He opened the Attribute Panel.

For the first time, Luo Chen relaxed and happily skimmed through it.

Upon a quick calculation, he entered the Eighth Level of Qi Refinement Stage in early spring, in March.

Although the weather is still unbearably hot, it is already September.

Half a year has passed.

During this half-year, he hardly ever stopped practicing the Longevity Technique, refining the impurities in his Spirit Power at all times.

In addition to the help of the Dusting Pills, Calming Incense, Moonlight Grass and other cultivation resources, his Spirit Power was kept at its peak state at all times.

Especially the bottle of Monkey Wine that Wang Yuan brought back from the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, it provided him with a great help.

The final push he needed was the battle that took place five days ago.

That battle laid the most solid foundation for his final step into the Ninth Level Qi Refinement Stage.

“Half a year, huh, and at the cost of thousands of Spirit Stones just to make this step.”

“What rogue cultivator could afford such luxury?”

“But, it was all worth it!”

Luo Chen was on the verge of bursting into laughter.

Although the expenditure was huge, it only took him half a year to break through a small realm, especially in the late stage of Qi Refinement.

If he were to tell others, they wouldn’t believe it.

“I haven’t let down my fellow transmigrators, advancing from the third level of Qi Refinement to the ninth level in less than two years.”

After a snicker, Luo Chen first used Inner View to inspect his body.

In the middle of his Dantian, a cloud-like cluster of Spirit Qi was faintly visible.

This was the symbol of a cultivator reaching the Ninth Level Qi Refinement Stage.

Only after purifying Spirit Power to completion would this unique scene form within the Dantian.

Only when the Spirit Qi Cloud Cluster is formed, can the final step of cultivation be taken.

“According to Uncle Mi Shuhua’s Qi Refinement insights, the entire Dantian needs to be filled with the Spirit Qi Cloud Cluster. Only then can it be called Qi Refinement Completion.”

With a quick estimation, Luo Chen was somewhat taken aback.

The Spirit Qi Cloud Cluster in his body currently only occupied less than one-tenth of his Dantian.

In other words, to completely fill it, he had to spend ten times the amount of time he spent on the Eighth Level Qi Refinement.

“No wonder many rogue cultivators spend their entire lives stuck at the Ninth Level Qi Refinement.”

“Breaking through to the Eighth Level was already hard enough, and this final step is ten times more difficult than before.”

“Even with the loads of resources I have, it would still take five to six years, assuming no accidents happen.”

“The only upside, I suppose, is that I’ve left a root!”

Yes, a root!

This cluster of Spirit Qi within him was the root of his Spirit Power.

As long as a wisp of it remained in his body, even if he’d expended most of his Spirit Power, he wouldn’t need to spend a significant amount of time purifying it from scratch.

He only needed to polish it a little, and it could be restored to its prime state, as pure as ever.

Of course, this applies to the cultivators of the Sect who have complete and pure Spirit Power Techniques.

For the rogue cultivators, they still have to take the long and hard way to polish bit by bit.

But by this point, due to the presence of Spirit Power’s root, a lot of time is indeed saved.

“So, that’s why there were cases like Duan Feng, who expended his Spirit Power in battle on the Dao Debate Platform, then cultivated it back slowly, and continuously purified it!”

Having understood this, Luo Chen wasn’t disheartened.

So what if it’s ten times longer than before?

It’s just five or six years!

His lifespan now is sufficiently long, he can afford to spend time.

Without further use of Inner View, Luo Chen scanned the other terms.

“Ming God’s Divine Cleanse is about to step into the second stage!”

After letting out a sigh, Luo Chen was rather excited.

When he first stimulated the thirty-six acupoints, Ming God’s Divine Cleanse became an entry and then appeared on the Cultivation Techniques column of the Attribute Panel.

This was more or less as he guessed, Ming God’s Divine Cleanse indeed counted as a Cultivation Technique.

It doesn’t fit into any specific category though.

If the Evil Qi is introduced into the body for the Spirit Refinement Qi Transformation, it would be considered a Qi Refinement Technique.

But Luo Chen hadn’t done that yet, not even once.

If we look at it independently, it has the effect of tempering one’s consciousness and has a minor effect in enhancing the Divine Soul Foundation.

So, is it a Consciousness Refining Technique? Soul Refining Technique?

Moreover, this Cultivation Technique originates from a Martial Arts Grandmaster. After letting the Evil Qi into the body, as long as you can withstand it, it also has an additional effect of refining the physical body. So, is it a Body Refinement Technique?

Luo Chen’s assessment was that it’s hard to classify.

Let’s just continue cultivating it for now!

Apart from everything else, Luo Chen’s tolerance for pain has now reached a terrifying level.

The attack from the Talisman Treasure was extremely powerful..
