After successfully extorting the Qi Stones, Wei Ying immediately left. He entered a nearby restaurant, the aroma of delicious food enveloping him.
As he waited for his order, Wei Ying's thoughts drifted to his current situation. Ever since the Wu Clan discovered that he had a common bloodline, they had started avoiding him. It was as if he had become a plague, unworthy of their attention.
To make matters worse, the Wu Clan had publicly declared that Wu Yong, who possessed a rare bloodline, was their true nurtured disciple. Wei Ying's name was nowhere to be found, erased from the clan's records as if he never existed.
The server arrived with Wei Ying's food, breaking the chain of his thoughts. He dug in, savoring the flavors, but this was with in his expectations. In Wei Ying previous life he was stripped of the surname wu and was even exiled from the village for not possesding a bloodline after eating the meal he gave him one qi stone.
...
"What! He snatched 6 Qi Stones from you?" Bai Clan Elder Bai Yizhen thundered, his face red with rage.
Elder, I couldn't do anything against him," Bai Zhu explained, his voice laced with a mix of frustration and helplessness. "He defeated Zhang Mei, who has mastered her Zhang Clan's renowned martial art technique, with ease. And what's more, he was using only basic techniques."
Bai Yizhen's expression turned even darker, his anger and concern palpable. "We will see if the Sect Elder will take action or not," he growled, his voice dripping with a hint of warning.
Liu Guang's face turned beet red with anger and rage as the disciples recounted how Wei Ying had snatched Qi Stones from them. "What audacity! He dares to mess with my clan?" he thundered.
Second Elder Liu Chenyue stepped forward, a cold glint in his eye. "Leave this to me, Clan Leader. I will take care of this Wei Ying."
Liu Guang's expression turned even darker. "This trash disciple needs to be taught a lesson. Show him the true power of the Liu Clan!"
Liu Chenyue nodded, a sly smile spreading across his face. "I will hire local bandits to teach this piece of trash a lesson. He will regret ever crossing the Liu Clan.''
Among all the clans, the Liu Clan suffered the most loss, for they possessed the most disciples with rare bloodlines.
...
In a dimly lit room with only a bed for furniture, Wei Ying sat cross-legged, focusing on accumulating Qi. The faint glow of his internal energy pulsed softly within him.
"Although I can absorb Qi from my surroundings," Wei Ying muttered to himself, "the efficiency is just too low."
He paused, a hint of determination in his eyes. "Then I'll just create a formation using the Qi Stones I obtained."
There were a total of 96 disciples, among which 34 had rare bloodlines and the rest had common bloodlines. Wei Ying extorted 6 Qi Stones from disciples who had rare bloodlines and one Qi Stone from those who didn't possess rare bloodlines.He used one qi stone earlier As a result, he possessed a total of 265 Qi Stones.
Wei Ying carefully arranged 30 Qi Stones in a intricate pattern, creating a formation. He placed 24 Qi Stones in a circular pattern around him, with 6 Qi Stones at the center, forming a smaller hexagon. Wei Ying then sat cross-legged in the middle of the formation, at the center of the hexagon, and closed his eyes, focusing on the Qi energy emanating from the stones.
As the Qi Stones connected with each other, they began to glow with a soft, ethereal light. Their rich spiritual energy swirled around Wei Ying, forming a vortex that enveloped him. The energy then directly entered his Dantian, the energy center within his body.
Wei Ying's eyes sparkled with delight as he felt his Qi absorption rate increase by more than five times. "This formation is indeed good," he thought to himself. However, he was also aware of the formation's flaw: once the Qi from the stones was completely used, they would turn to dust, rendering them useless. This flaw was irreversible, and Wei Ying would have to replace the stones with new ones once they were depleted.
Despite this limitation, Wei Ying was grateful for the formation's power. With a satisfied smile, he settled in for a night of intense cultivation, determined to make the most of the formation's benefits. As the night wore on, Wei Ying's Qi continued to grow, fueled by the energy of the stones.
Over the night wei ying continued to replace the qi stones as soon as they were depleted he was making use of every time and second to cultivate
As the night wore on, Wei Ying continued to replace the Qi Stones as soon as they were depleted, leveraging every moment to further his cultivation. His dedication was unwavering, driven by his determination to progress.
As the sun rose, casting a warm, golden light over the room, Wei Ying opened his eyes. His demeanor was calm and composed, reflecting the tranquility that came with intense focus. Over the course of the night, he had expended an astonishing 120 Qi Stones, each one depleted in rapid succession as he cultivated tirelessly.
Despite the staggering number of Qi Stones used, Wei Ying felt a deep sense of satisfaction. His efforts had yielded tangible results: he had successfully reached the mid-stage of Rank 1.
Wei Ying's aura had undergone a profound transformation, reflecting the significant progress he had made in his cultivation. Previously, when he released his aura, it was barely perceptible, but now it was more distinct and robust, radiating a clearer and stronger presence.
Furthermore, the flow of spiritual energy within his body had become smoother and more refined. This qualitative change indicated that Wei Ying's cultivation had reached a new level of sophistication, allowing him to harness and manipulate his spiritual energy with greater ease and precision.
Wei Ying's moment of contemplation was interrupted by a knock at the door. "Wei Ying, come outside!" a voice called out. Wei Ying's eyes narrowed slightly.
