Qi training level 5

If it were possible, Li Tan truly wanted to point at Li Yong's nose and curse him out!

"This is clearly an attempt to make me take poison!"

"No! There's also the Heavenly Dao...."

Although things were developing badly, it wasn't enough to make Li Tan panic or lose his footing.

The conditions Li Yong proposed were a double-edged sword; the benefit was that he could quickly obtain a large amount of resources and safely pass through his weak period.

As for the drawbacks, there was no doubt that the only person who could make even Li Yong unable to escape was that mysterious Clan Chief, and it could even be worse.

That would be to become an enemy of the entire Li Family!

But now, with the arrow on the string, it had to be shot; he had no right to refuse.

Li Tan didn't hesitate, fearing that Li Yong would make him take the poison first!

The next moment, Li Tan's will was firm, and his voice, like a resounding bell, opened with solemnity:

"Heavenly Dao above, today I, Li Yasi, swear here that if I achieve success in cultivation in the future, I will definitely return to the Li Family to find Grandpa Li Yong. If not, my body shall turn into sustenance and return to the heavens and earth! My soul shall dissipate into nourishment to enrich the great earth!"

Within this world, the Heavenly Dao is the supreme existence for all living beings. The Heavenly Dao is just and strict; it demands that we adhere to principles of righteousness and uphold honesty.

Upholding trustworthiness, any Cultivator can bind themselves with a Heavenly Dao Oath, during which the Heavenly Dao will act as a fair judge....

Li Tan was not someone who was hesitant or indecisive. Since he couldn't avoid it, he might as well establish a good persona for Li Yong.

After witnessing Li Tan make the Heavenly Dao Oath, Li Yong was overjoyed, clapping his hands and laughing heartily.

A trace of hesitation flickered imperceptibly in his murky eyes, then vanished without a trace.

........

"Good! Good! As expected of the young man I, Li Yong, favor."

"With this intention, Grandpa is content. The crucial thing is to raise your cultivation!"

"One cannot be without trump cards. If you encounter a crisis, you will appear to be at the end of your rope, with your Dao exhausted and your path worn out."

"Si'er, Grandpa has prepared some resources for you. You can cultivate them here in peace, and during this time, I will personally act as your Protector."

Li Yong's face was full of concern and affection, a constant smile on his lips, as if the current Li Tan was his true grandson, which could be described as incredibly considerate.

Li Yong's finger moved, Spiritual Qi surged, and a storage ring, enveloped in spiritual power, flew directly towards Li Tan.

Fearing that Li Tan might not understand the preciousness of the storage ring, he deliberately explained, "This is a storage ring with an internal space of ten square meters."

"Even I spent quite a bit of effort to acquire it. From today onwards, it is yours."

The storage ring was within reach, but Li Tan did not immediately take it. Instead, he first bowed to the old man and offered his thanks.

Only then did he slowly take the incomparably precious storage ring.

He then probed it with his consciousness: a full one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones! One corner of the entire storage ring was packed to the brim, layer upon layer.

This wealth was an unattainable existence even for upper-class Disciples.

Only those true "Core Disciples" and Elder successors could possess such a vast quantity of Spirit Stones.

If it were his former self, upon seeing this sum of Spirit Stones, he would probably be so shocked that he would temporarily lose the ability to speak: "Low Grade Disciples truly are reserve resources; the two Spirit Stones they are given are perhaps only to give them a glimmer of hope."

"As for the Elder's monthly stipend... a few hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, it seems that it's nothing more than an outward facade."

"After witnessing the methods of a Foundation Establishment expert, Li Tan had no doubt about their profound reserves; calling them a human treasure trove would not be an exaggeration."

Before Li Tan could finish his Feelings, Li Yong transmitted another item through his spiritual power.

Then, Li Yong's voice, full of loving concern, was heard.

"Si'er, this is my token! With this token, you can recklessly acquire resources."

"As long as you can quickly raise your cultivation, I'll handle anything that happens."

"At the same time, it also contains a drop of my essence blood. It can protect you when your life is in danger, and I will also sense it synchronously."

Upon hearing the function of this token, Li Tan immediately became restless.

"It seems Li Yong has already discovered that I extorted money from my Elder brother, but he seems to support me."

"Especially the token bestowed by Li Yong, that's a good item for preserving one's life!"

Li Tan's eyes gleamed with golden light, looking utterly like a money-grubber. He then knelt before Li Yong with an incomparably respectful attitude.

"(Li Tan's flattery is automatically omitted...)"

After Li Yong nodded his assent, Li Tan settled down in the small courtyard.

During this time, to prevent Li Yasi from being suffocated to death, Li Tan simply locked him in a cabinet. To prevent him from shouting, he fed him a few more Coma Pill (Coma Pills) and a few low-grade Medicinal Pills called Bigu Pill (Grain Abstinence Pills).

These Medicinal Pills were originally Li Yasi's possessions, so it was considered putting them to good use.

........

Li Tan originally intended to go to a Demonic Path Sect, but fate is unpredictable, disrupting the trajectory of his plans.

Compared to joining a Sect, one's own cultivation is the most important!

Asking himself the purpose of joining a Sect, isn't it just for resources?

As for the promise to his father, Li Zhi, Li Tan could only helplessly state, "Fortune is not on my side, and time waits for no one; this is a last resort."

Li Tan sat cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes to rest, expelling all distracting thoughts from his mind.

After sensing that his internal state had reached its Peak, he poured out all the Spirit Stones from his storage ring.

In an instant, the Spiritual Qi concentration in the room had reached a liquefied state.

Even with every breath Li Tan took, he could feel a slight increase in his cultivation, and all the pores on his body seemed to open, feeling incredibly comfortable.

His cells were cheering, and every muscle was excitedly twitching.

Li Tan's heart was as still as water. He initially attempted to absorb the Spirit Stones, and the surrounding air became even fresher as a result.

The small mountain of Spirit Stones emitted a dazzling and magnificent light! Every Spirit Stone was like a blue crystal, shimmering with a brilliant halo.

Gentle Spiritual Qi freely roamed within Li Tan's body. His internal organs, meridians, and limbs were slowly improving under the nourishment of the Spiritual Qi....

And the Aura on Li Tan's body grew stronger and stronger. Those cultivation barriers that were once difficult to Breakthrough.

Under the immense amount of Spirit Stones, it was as if they had become a cheating weapon; crossing this threshold was merely a matter of time.

One day....

Two days....

Li Tan could already feel the Spiritual Qi within his body undergoing a qualitative change due to a quantitative change; the Spiritual Qi had already reached its Peak.

His body felt a distinct bloating pain, which made his breathing rapid and his emotions unstable.

"I'm about to Breakthrough!"

As Li Tan's body trembled.

Qi Condensation Second Layer!

He could clearly sense the enormous changes within his body. Not only his combat power, but even his five senses and thoughts had been enhanced to more than double their previous state.

Li Tan subconsciously looked beside him, and the mountain-like Spirit Stones seemed to have barely changed.

On the sixth day, Li Tan broke through to Qi Condensation Third Layer!

On the tenth day, Li Tan broke through to Qi Condensation Fourth Layer!

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed....

"Si'er, since you've come out of seclusion, come to the courtyard."

.......

In just a moment, Li Tan had arrived in the courtyard. He did not choose to hide his cultivation, but instead released his own oppressive Aura.

"Since Li Yong already knows I've come out of seclusion, there's no need to hide."

He carefully sensed his surroundings, then gained a rough understanding of his sensory range.

"Over one hundred zhang!"

In just half a month, his Aura had undergone an earth-shattering change.

If the former Li Tan could be described as a refined Young Master, now his Aura was long and profound, giving people an increasingly unpredictable feeling.

He stood in the center of the courtyard, like a delicate and elegant rose, exuding an intoxicating fragrance everywhere. Look at his posture! It was so enchanting and beautiful...

"Fame long spread, wandering as if in the world. Traversing the five yin, breaking into the ghost hall. A hundred years are but a wisp of frost, hand in hand with mountains and seas, treading the impermanent. A farewell at dawn yesterday, a distant gaze for this life...."

Following the direction of the poem, it was the front of the courtyard, where an old man lay leisurely on his side.

This person was precisely Li Yong.

"Not bad, not bad. In just half a month, you're already at Qi Condensation Fifth Layer," Li Yong praised without stingy.

"Si'er greets Grandpa. This time, Si'er's Breakthrough to Qi Condensation Fifth Layer was truly by chance."

"Hahahaha, you, you're just too modest."

"Oh, and there's something I forgot to tell you: in a few days, the clan will arrange a meeting for the Elder successors."

Li Yong stroked his beard, sighing about getting old and having a bad memory.

If it weren't for his monstrous cultivation, he might truly have been mistaken for an ordinary, doddering old man.
