17: Chapter 17 Qi Refining Stage 7, Establishing Spiritual Veins

Five months passed in the blink of an eye. In the Underwater Cave, Li Luochen opened his eyes helplessly; he still had not achieved a Breakthrough to Qi Refining Stage 7.

It was not that he lacked resources, as he still had plenty of Condensing Fa Pills, but he simply could not break through the Qi Refining Stage 7 Bottleneck.

This left him extremely helpless, and he could only take out that High Grade Rank 1 Breakthrough Pill.

When taking out this Medicinal Pill, Li Luochen felt a pang of heartache; this Medicinal Pill was worth a fortune and was rare to find, even with money.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Luochen gritted his teeth and placed it directly into his mouth.

The Medicinal Pill melted the moment it entered his mouth, quickly turning into surging energy that poured into his body.

Li Luochen hurriedly closed his eyes and channeled his energy. The Five Elements True Spirit Art began to operate rapidly within him, starting to refine the surging energy.

The premium Breakthrough Pill was truly an excellent Medicinal Pill for breaking through a Bottleneck. In just three days, the once very solid Bottleneck in Li Luochen's body had been broken.

In his Dantian, a thin seventh circle of mana vortex appeared above the mana vortex, marking that he had become a Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivator.

At this moment, the medicinal power of the Breakthrough Pill within Li Luochen had not been completely refined. There was still plenty of medicinal power being continuously refined and absorbed by him to stabilize his Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivation.

After his cultivation stabilized, there was still leftover strength to allow him to raise his cultivation a bit further.

It was not until two months later that Li Changsheng stopped Cultivating, a smile flashing in his eyes.

Not only had he broken through to Qi Refining Stage 7, but he had also surged into the mid-stage of Qi Refining Stage 7 in one go, saving him at least two years of arduous Cultivation—and this was arduous Cultivation while taking premium Medicinal Pills.

Cultivating from Qi Refining Stage 7 to Qi Refining Level 8 was not so easy. Without treasures to accelerate Cultivation speed, relying solely on premium Medicinal Pills, it would be impossible to break through without ten years of effort.

Li Luochen was already fifty. Ten years later, even if he broke through to Qi Refining Level 8, he would have no chance to reach Foundation Establishment.

After all, breaking through from Qi Refining Level 8 to Qi Refining Level 9 was not as simple as ten years. Li Luochen's early Cultivation speed had been too slow, and now he needed a large amount of resources to accelerate his Cultivation.

Regardless, he had now reached Qi Refining Stage 7.

Li Luochen walked out of the small cave and looked at the High Grade Rank 1 Spirit Medicine in the spirit field, nodding with satisfaction.

Up until now, not a single stalk of Spirit Medicine had encountered any problems, which made him very happy.

If all these Spirit Medicines could mature, that would be over ten thousand Spirit Stones; Li Luochen felt excited just thinking about it.

After casting the Spirit Gathering Rain Fall Technique, Li Luochen returned to the small cave, took out some straw, and began making blank talisman paper.

In the following days, he continuously made blank talisman paper and also continuously drew Fireball Talismans.

When the day for the Spirit Rice to mature arrived, the System's voice sounded in his mind again.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host's Family for their diligent farming. They have harvested eighty thousand catties of ordinary rice, worth eight hundred Spirit Stones. The farming reward condition has been met, increasing ordinary Spirit Rice yield by three times."

Although there was no critical hit reward, it still gave the Li Family an extra twenty-four hundred Spirit Stones, which was definitely a good thing.

These resources were all in the System space, and Li Luochen had no intention of taking them out.

At this time, Li Luochen still had plenty of straw on hand, but he also had quite a lot of Fireball Talismans.

After watering the Spirit Medicine in the spirit field, he left the Underwater Cave and headed towards Hidden Dragon Island.

Since his cultivation had broken through to Qi Refining Stage 7, Li Luochen planned to return and install the Medium Grade Rank 1 Spiritual Vein.

This Medium Grade Rank 1 Spiritual Vein was of high value, so he had to choose a good location.

In fact, Qianlong Valley was quite large, but in the future, the Low Grade Rank 1 Spiritual Vein there would need to be upgraded, so this Medium Grade Rank 1 Spiritual Vein naturally could not be installed in Qianlong Valley.

Fortunately, the entire Hidden Dragon Island belonged to the Li Family, and they could choose a location to install the Spiritual Vein at any time.

On Hidden Dragon Island, Li Luochen returned safely once again, not encountering any danger on the way.

In fact, even if he had encountered danger, he would not be afraid; his Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivation gave him great confidence.

Now that the ordinary Spirit Rice had been harvested, there were still two months left until the harvest of the Low Grade Rank 1 Spirit Rice.

Next, Li Luochen planned to adjust the timing, planting ordinary Spirit Rice and Low Grade Rank 1 Spirit Rice together, and even planting Medium Grade Rank 1 Spirit Rice at the same time.

He did this mainly to see if it could increase the rewards given by the farming System; since it could reward Breakthrough Pills, then rewarding foundation establishment pills should also be no problem.

Thinking this, Li Luochen had already returned to Qianlong Valley.

The members of the Li Family were all working hard to Cultivate, so he did not wake them up.

Instead, he pondered in the Council Hall, wondering where he should install the Medium Grade Rank 1 Spiritual Vein.

Hidden Dragon Island was still too small; once his cultivation improved in the future, he would buy several large islands.

Suddenly, his gaze turned towards the mountain peaks outside Qianlong Valley; he remembered that there seemed to be some places on these mountains that were very suitable for farming.

Thinking this, he flew directly out of the Council Hall and quickly flew towards that mountain.

After arriving on the mountain, he quickly found the area. After confirming that terraced fields could be opened here, Li Luochen took action.

First, he set up the Spirit Gathering Formation and the Spirit Locking Formation Plate here. After confirming that the Spiritual Qi here could not leak out, Li Luochen took out a ball of light.

He threw the ball of light in his hand towards the ground, and the ball of light submerged into the ground, transforming into a Medium Grade Rank 1 Spiritual Vein.

The Spiritual Vein was generated, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi became dense; Li Luochen was very satisfied.

Immediately after, he quickly flew outwards again. The Spiritual Vein here had been installed, and the next step was to purchase the Spirit Gathering Soil Fusing Talisman to turn the land here into spirit fields.

A Medium Grade Rank 1 Spiritual Vein could open up ten mu of Medium Grade Rank 1 spirit fields, thirty mu of Low Grade Rank 1 spirit fields, and eighty mu of ordinary spirit fields.

Three catties of Medium Grade Rank 1 Spirit Rice cost one Spirit Stone, and the average yield per mu was four hundred and fifty catties, equivalent to one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones per mu; ten mu would be fifteen hundred Spirit Stones.

Added to the Low Grade Rank 1 spirit fields and ordinary spirit fields, the annual harvest would be quite significant.

Furthermore, the Li Family also had a Low Grade Rank 1 Spiritual Vein; he did not know how much Li Luochen would harvest next year, and thinking about it was exciting.

At Qingsha Market, Li Luochen arrived here again and set up a stall to sell ordinary Spirit Rice and the Fireball Talismans he had on him.

Of course, the Fireball Talismans that could be sold here were only worth three Spirit Stones.

Because he still held some promotional activities, the Fireball Talismans and Spirit Rice combined only sold for four thousand five hundred Spirit Stones.

This many Spirit Stones were enough for now, at least enough for him to purchase the Spirit Gathering Soil Fusing Talismans and a High Grade Rank 1 Formation Plate.

It was not that Li Luochen did not intend to purchase a Top Grade Rank 1 Formation Plate, but he simply did not have that many Spirit Stones.

To open up Medium Grade Rank 1 spirit fields, he needed Medium Grade Rank 1 Spirit Gathering Soil Fusing Talismans, and the price of these items was very expensive.

To turn it into spirit fields within two months, he needed at least ten Medium Grade Rank 1 Spirit Gathering Soil Fusing Talismans.

If he cultivated it slowly, that would also be possible, but Li Luochen did not intend to take it slow; time was Spirit Stones.

Arriving at Wanfu Tower, the familiar shop assistant greeted him again. One Medium Grade Rank 1 Spirit Gathering Soil Fusing Talisman cost eight Spirit Stones, and one hundred of them would be eight hundred Spirit Stones.

Thirty mu of Low Grade Rank 1 spirit fields required three hundred Low Grade Rank 1 Spirit Gathering Soil Fusing Talismans, worth nine hundred Spirit Stones.

Eighty mu of ordinary spirit fields required five Low Grade Rank 1 Spirit Gathering Soil Fusing Talismans per mu; four hundred Low Grade Rank 1 Spirit Gathering Soil Fusing Talismans required twelve hundred Spirit Stones.

Li Luochen spent twenty-nine hundred Spirit Stones here, and more than half of the forty-five hundred Spirit Stones were already gone.
