97: Chapter 56 Qi Refining Perfection!

Qingming Peak.

Countless months of cultivation had passed, and I know not how many sunrises and sunsets, how much time had flown by.

Chen Xuan slowly awoke in the quiet room.

He exhaled a breath of perfect and flawless Qi Refining essence, and several seeds immediately sprouted; this breath already touched upon the Innate Realm, which is the conversion of Acquired into Innate required for Foundation Establishment.

Cultivation! Qi Refining Ninth Stage!

This closed-door cultivation must have lasted at least a year or so.

The Sect tasks from this period had already piled up.

However, it was all worth it.

Before the closed-door cultivation, I had only just entered the Qi Refining Eighth Stage. To undergo such a transformation in such a short time is truly a Heaven-Defying Opportunity.

In this life, I have reached the Qi Refining Ninth Stage so quickly.

Qi Refining Ninth Stage, the Realm of Perfection!

In my previous life, not knowing how to polish my Dao foundation, I would have already begun preparing to break through.

Now, facing this barrier again, Foundation Establishment is no longer an obstacle.

However, I must first see if the Creation Spirit Liquid from the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce that enhances Spiritual Roots is reasonable.

Liu Lili had already polished her Dao foundation three times when we last met; now, I fear she is at least at the fifth turn or higher.

After my Breakthrough these past few days, even with day and night polishing, I have only managed one turn.

The Nine-Turn Sea-Steaming Method is truly profound; it steams the Dantian Qi Sea, and every evaporation is a condensation, which is almost a comprehensive improvement of the entire body.

Although my cultivation level will drop slightly, I can quickly cultivate it back.

At the Qi Refining Ninth Stage, I need to perfect my current Realm and simultaneously bring my Dao foundation to the nine turns; after that, I will charge towards Foundation Establishment!

Chen Xuan had broken through to the Qi Refining Ninth Stage, but to cultivate from the Early Stage to the Late Stage of the Qi Refining Ninth Stage only requires piling up mana, so it is not an exaggeration to say that my cultivation has reached Qi Refining Perfection.

Furthermore, my experience from my previous life had already reached Qi Refining Perfection, so this time, the cultivation was naturally smooth and easy.

Moreover, in this life, I have taken very few Medicinal Pills, relying entirely on repeated enlightenment to improve my cultivation.

Fantastic!

I am only sixteen years old, and I have already reached the Qi Refining Ninth Stage!

In the Qingyuan Market, this is a miracle that has never been heard of.

Which of those Cultivators doesn't toil bitterly at cultivation for thirty or fifty years, only to get stuck at the Qi Refining Sixth Stage barrier for a lifetime?

That is just how the lower-level Cultivators are, and Chen Xuan deeply agreed.

With mediocre talent for a lifetime, relying on persistence, they can barely glimpse a sliver of the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension.

Sigh, how sad and lamentable.

Chen Xuan smiled and stood up; how comfortable!

Qi Refining Perfection.

Qi Refining Perfection at only sixteen years old.

Walking out of the Immortal Cave, there was truly a dizzying feeling of seeing the light of day again after bitter cultivation.

This was also my first time in such a long closed-door cultivation.

Chen Xuan had experienced half a lifetime of wasted time, but looking back, he was only sixteen.

He was already standing at the Qi Refining Perfection Realm, which many Cultivators in the Southern Region could never reach in their entire lives.

Relieved.

Refreshed and invigorated.

Chen Xuan stepped out of the mansion door and saw Liu Cui squatting at the entrance.

Obviously. It was another daily patrol...

Chen Xuan was also helpless.

A Golden Core clan truly has the capital; a Genius with a High Grade Spiritual Root must take time out of every day to see if I have finished my closed-door cultivation.

"Young Miss, Young Master Yun has finished his closed-door cultivation!" Cui Cui immediately transmitted her voice through the jade talisman, her face showing joy.

Come to think of it, the Young Miss must have set some kind of reward.

Chen Xuan happened to ask her: "Xiao Cui, how long has it been since I last started my closed-door cultivation?"

Xiao Cui replied obediently: "Young Master, it has been a year and a half, nearly two years."

Has it been that long? It feels like only a few days have passed.

The days before the closed-door cultivation feel like they were only yesterday.

No wonder the big shots often go into closed-door cultivation for decades at a time.

Chen Xuan was only in short-term cultivation, plus he cultivated Liu Lili's secret method during the period and had three intense enlightenment sessions, which made him feel time flying by.

As it stands now, I really didn't feel it.

This time passed truly too quickly.

Chen Xuan sighed in his heart; ever since stepping into the Immortal Sect, time has truly been like flowing water.

Witnessing the ups and downs, the rise and fall, nothing can be eternal.

Chen Xuan nodded and turned to look at the Sect's briefing.

In these two years, the expansion of the White Lotus Sect has been significantly contained.

Divine Descent incidents have decreased extremely quickly.

It seems that the Old Ancestor of the Hidden Sword in the Central State must have exerted his power.

One of the common sense rules of the Cultivation World is that only those in the Qi Refining stage can deal with those in the Qi Refining stage, and as for a True Monarch, I fear only a True Monarch can deal with them.

In that case, there shouldn't be any particular danger in the entire Southern Region.

Then, what I must do now is to charge towards Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.

Along with opening up the route to the Central State.

As for the Li family from back then, they were truly just strays by the roadside; now, who knows where those guys are hiding to act as Loose Cultivators.

The Southern Region is vast and boundless; when a person falls into it, it's like a drop of water in the ocean. How can one search tens of thousands of miles?

The Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce processes tens of thousands of intelligence reports every day, covering almost every market in the Southern Region.

Even so, Chen Xuan still hasn't found a single trace.

"Junior Brother!"

Liu Lili's figure was still as bright and cheerful as ever.

But at this moment, she was even more beautiful than before; a flower blooms most brilliantly at this age.

As a direct descendant with an Earthly Spiritual Root who had been pinned with high hopes by the Liu Clan since childhood, and a future Golden Core seed, she might just write a story of two Golden Cores in one family.

Since she was young, Liu Lili had been the star surrounded by the moon, the center of the crowd wherever she went.

Always a dazzling pearl.

Today, as she is about to reach Foundation Establishment, it is even more so.

A fragrant breeze swept over, and the "Goddess Sister Plus" version looked at Chen Xuan affectionately.

Their fate could not be called shallow.

Back then, in the Water Marsh Kingdom, their fate was sealed at first sight; even in that situation, Chen Xuan did not take liberties with her, but rather, she intentionally disarmed and took liberties with this little boy.

But now, Chen Xuan had grown into a man!

With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a tall and upright posture, plus a handsome, mature face, which female Cultivator wouldn't like him?

Moreover, Chen Xuan was also a Golden Core seed, with terrifying Comprehension Ability, destined to cultivate extremely quickly, with a very high future limit.

Plus, the spirit liquid currently being auctioned by the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce can enhance one's foundation, so the Liuyang Sword Sect naturally reserved it for a Genius like Chen Xuan who only has a Low Grade Spiritual Root.

His future prospects are vast; how could lower-level Cultivators understand that?

"You have finally finished your closed-door cultivation."

"Your sister here!"

"Has missed you to death!"

Cultivators are not like ordinary mortals, afraid to express their love.

Especially Sword Cultivators, who dare to love and hate, only then can their Dao Heart be transparent and their Sword Heart be clear!

"Senior Sister!"

"Shut up!"

Chen Xuan reluctantly pushed away Liu Lili, who was clinging to him like a koala and trying to kiss him, the bright fragrance at the tip of his nose refreshing and heart-soothing.

This girl, one look and you could tell she had been protected too well since childhood, not caring at all about the eyes of others, arrogant and supreme.

After all, she is a direct descendant of the Central Province Liu Clan, and one could even say a descendant of a Nascent Soul expert, a Genius with the hope of attaining the Nascent Soul Realm.

Such a character is extraordinary everywhere, and naturally, she does not need to care about the eyes of lower-level Cultivators.

High-level Cultivators and lower-level Cultivators are not the same kind of people.

In the eyes of high-level Cultivators, lower-level Cultivators are just resources for cultivation.

No matter how many resources lower-level Cultivators possess, they are just granaries prepared for high-level Cultivators.

"Eh?"

Liu Lili let go of Chen Xuan, her eyes wide, unable to believe it, and said: "Holy crap!"

"You are at the Qi Refining Ninth Stage!"

Liu Lili rarely used foul language.

She was shocked to the extreme.

Chen Xuan had actually reached Qi Refining Perfection.

This... even if he is a Genius, he can't be this much of a Genius, right?

She had only reached the Qi Refining Ninth Stage at eighteen and began to polish her Dao foundation.

Chen Xuan is now only sixteen, actually two years earlier than an Earthly Spiritual Root.

One must know, Qingming Peak not only has a Tier 3 Spiritual Vein, but the Conquest Hall also has a Spirit Gathering Array.

The combination of the two makes it a perfect blessed land for cultivation, so the speed cannot be slow.

But Chen Xuan is fast beyond reason.

Liu Cui also looked at the future son-in-law in shock.

Wait, is this right?

There is no legend in the entire Southern Region of someone breaking through Realms so quickly, right?
