Chapter 4 - Breakthrough! Qi Refining Stage!

Breakthrough! Qi refining stage!

Cultivation pill?

Nan Shan's eyes widened in disbelief.

He had never expected that the system's tenfold interest was not in quantity, but in quality!

This thing was far more precious than the Constitution-enhancing pill.

Not to mention the secular world, you can not even find one in the sect!

10 Constitution-enhancing pills were worthless in front of it.

Even a hundred of them might not be enough to exchange for one!

It was a good treasure that could expand the meridians!

This effect could easily raise a person's cultivation aptitude, which was extremely heaven-defying.

No matter how untalented you were, you could easily draw Qi into your body and cross the threshold of Qi refinement after taking it.

Other than that, there might be other more magical uses.

It was a pity that Nan Shan knew very little about alchemy and only knew some basic things.

However, this was enough.

Now that he had this pill, he no longer had to worry about whether or not he could enter the Outer Sect in ten days.

As long as he took the pill, he would grow steadily, find new investors, and continue to strengthen himself.

"Many thanks, Senior Brother."

Nan Shan sincerely thanked him.

Liu Changsheng's appearance had indeed helped him a lot.

"No, I should be the one thanking you. With the help of this Constitution-enhancing pill, I might be able to break through my bottleneck without Senior Sister Jiang's teaching."

Liu Changsheng laughed heartily, his heart filled with gratitude.

"Then I hope Senior Brother will get his wish."

"Thanks for Junior Brother's auspicious words! If there's nothing else, I'll be going back to cultivate."

"Take care, Senior Brother."

...

A simple farewell.

Looking at Liu Changsheng's back as he walked further and further away, Nan Shan fell into deep thought.

On the surface, his investment this time only seemed to be giving out two medicinal pills and obtaining another medicinal pill.

However, in the long run, he had already established a foothold in the Reliance Sect, and had a reliable friend who could help him.

Nan Shan had also thought about whether Liu Changsheng would be ungrateful, but this question was quickly thrown to the back of his mind.

There was no need to worry.

After all, this was a fantasy world.

It was easy to go back on one's word, but the consequences were not so easy to bear.

Perhaps it would not have serious consequences in the short term, but to cultivators who could easily live for thousands of years, it would be very fatal.

On a smaller scale.

Karmic hindrance could easily breed mental demons. In serious cases, it could even lead to the descent of Heavenly Tribulation, which would destroy one's soul and make one unable to enter Samsara.

This kind of thing was recorded in various ancient books, and most people would avoid it and try not to do things that went against their word for the sake of profit.

Moreover, he still had the System to back him up.

After all, Liu Changsheng was a person selected by the System.

A confirmed potential investor.

No matter what, the System would not harm its master!

Nan Shan felt very assured.

His thoughts returned to normal, and he focused on the reward he had just received.

"Receive the energy cultivation pill!"

Whoosh~

The space trembled and white light flashed.

A black pill appeared before his eyes.

Nan Shan caught it firmly and put it into his mouth without any hesitation.

The energy cultivation pill instantly melted and turned into a warm current that slowly flowed into his body.

The strange thing was that it did not fall into his stomach, but spread to his limbs and bones, fusing into his blood.

Nan Shan only felt that the meridians in his body gradually began to swell after accommodating the medicinal power.

After a short while, he actually felt a sharp pain!

He resisted the urge to cry out in pain and gritted his teeth.

He allowed the medicinal power to continuously attack his meridians, widening his originally dry and small meridians bit by bit.

Nan Shan felt as if he was in a sea full of thin needles, and he was in great pain.

However, at the same time, the spiritual energy from the outside world seemed to be attracted and kept surging into his body, bringing him a cold and comfortable feeling.

The two contradictory feelings intertwined, making Nan Shan feel like he was about to die.

"F*ck .. Cultivation... It's really not something a human would do!"

He gritted his teeth.

After an unknown period of time, this feeling finally slowly faded away.

Nan Shan tried to move his limbs...

Then, an intense numbing sensation hit him and rushed straight to his brain.

"F*ck!"

Nan Shan crashed on the spot and fell unconscious.

When he woke up, it was already bright outside.

"What's wrong with me ..."

He was a little confused. After spending nearly half a minute to sort out his thoughts, he suddenly sat up and hurriedly checked the condition of his body.

He was surprised and happy when he clearly felt an active spiritual aura wandering in his body.

"Hahaha! Spiritual Qi! Success! I didn't expect it to be so simple. I'll be fine after taking some medicine and sleeping!"

When spiritual Qi entered the body, it was the sign of stepping into the Qi refining stage.

He had easily stepped over the threshold that had hindered many people for their entire lives, and a sense of accomplishment welled up in him.

Not only that, but Nan Shan even felt that there was a lot of spiritual energy surplus in his body.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the cultivation techniques he had learned so far, he was unable to find a way to sum up these 'little cuties'.

It would probably slowly dissipate and become invisible soon.

This was a bit of a pity.

He did not want to waste the energy pill like this.

"Looks like I'll have to change to a stronger mental cultivation method."

When cultivators used their bodies to store spiritual energy, they would usually use one method-opening the aperture acupoints.

This was something that every cultivator could do with their mental cultivation method.

With the spiritual energy absorbed into it, the consumption was minimal, and it was very convenient to use. It could be used with a single thought.

Under normal circumstances, the better the mental cultivation method, the more acupuncture points could be opened and the faster the speed of absorbing spiritual Qi could be, which could provide a cultivator with the ability to fight for a long time.

However, while medicinal pills were easy to find, mental cultivation methods were hard to come by.

Even though he was already an in-name disciple of the Reliance Sect, it was not easy for him to acquire a suitable mental technique.

"I remember that Senior Brother Liu said that after becoming an outer disciple, you can choose your own heart technique?"

Nan Shan recalled in detail, and it seemed that there was such a thing.

However, ten days later...

It would take a long time, and the spiritual energy stored in his body would probably be consumed by a lot.

Unfortunately, there was no other way at the moment. He could only wait quietly.

'I'd better go listen to the class first. I've just stepped into the meditational stage and I don't know anything. This won't do.'

Nan Shan packed up, washed up, and cleaned up the filth on his body before leaving for the lecture hall.
