8: Chapter 8: Talisman Making Achievements, Qi Refining Level 6

Over the past six months, Li Luochen had used all six thousand sheets of talisman paper to craft Fireball Talismans, obtaining eight hundred and thirty-one in total.

Among them, those containing the attack power of Qi Refining Level 1 were the most numerous, totaling four hundred and fifty-one; there were two hundred and sixty containing the attack power of Qi Refining Layer 2, and only one hundred and twenty containing the attack power of Qi Refining Layer 3.

Even so, this batch of Fireball Talismans was a huge profit.

The blank talisman paper was worth six hundred Spirit Stones. The Fireball Talismans equivalent to Qi Refining Level 1 could sell for over four hundred Spirit Stones, those equivalent to Qi Refining Layer 2 could also sell for over four hundred Spirit Stones, and those equivalent to Qi Refining Layer 3 could sell for over three hundred Spirit Stones.

If these spiritual talismans could be sold, their value would definitely be no less than one thousand four hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

However, Li Luochen was well aware that, apart from the Fireball Talismans equivalent to Qi Refining Layer 3, the other two types would not be easy to sell.

Nevertheless, he didn't care much about that; as long as these Fireball Talismans could break even, it would be enough.

There were still three months left before the spiritual rice matured. Next, Li Luochen intended to enter seclusion to Cultivate, aiming to break through to Qi Refining Stage 6 in one go.

Li Yanlong had already broken through to Qi Refining Level 4, and although Li Yanhu had not yet broken through, he was not far off.

As for the little guy Li Changfeng, he had actually broken through to Qi Refining Layer 2 at the age of ten; it seemed breaking through to Qi Refining Layer 3 before the age of sixteen would not be difficult.

After all, the current Family was different from the past. Previously, they had to scrimp and save, but now they could afford high-quality Medicinal Pills.

With these seventy mu of spiritual fields, it was enough for them to quickly improve their cultivation, which gave the members of the Family great peace of mind.

If Li Luochen could break through to Qi Refining Stage 6, they would feel even more at ease.

After arranging affairs outside, Li Luochen entered a state of seclusion. He consumed one high-quality Medicinal Pill, and the Five Elements True Spirit Art quickly circulated within his body, continuously striking at the barrier of Qi Refining Stage 6.

The vortex of mana in his Dantian was spinning rapidly. As the high-quality Medicinal Pill was continuously refined, the rotating mana vortex suddenly stalled, and a faint sixth ring of the vortex appeared on the outside.

Compared to the other rings of mana, this sixth ring was pitifully small.

However, the birth of this sixth ring of mana signified that Li Luochen had broken through to Qi Refining Stage 6. Because the Breakthrough had just occurred, the mana of Qi Refining Stage 6 was still too weak.

As long as he refined the remaining high-quality Medicinal Pill and completely stabilized his Qi Refining Stage 6, Li Luochen would have successfully broken through.

The Qi Refining Stage is divided into ten layers: the first three are the Early Stage, the middle three are the Middle Stage, the following three are the Late Stage, and the tenth layer is the Peak, which can also be called Perfection.

If a cultivator can break through to the Qi Refining 10th Layer before the age of eighty, they have a chance to challenge the Foundation Establishment Stage.

If they haven't broken through to the Qi Refining 10th Layer before eighty, then there will be no hope of Foundation Establishment in this lifetime.

Li Luochen would turn fifty in two years; he only had thirty years left to Cultivate, and wanting to break through to the Qi Refining 10th Layer was a long and arduous journey.

But that was before he obtained the System. Now, with the family farming reward system, as long as he dutifully farmed, he would be able to obtain more rewards. Although he had only received two amplification rewards and one critical hit reward so far, it was enough to greatly increase his strength.

After his cultivation reached Qi Refining Stage 6, Li Luochen quickly swallowed the other high-quality Medicinal Pill and earnestly began to refine it.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. When Li Luochen woke up again, the sixth ring of mana he had just cultivated had grown much larger, and his cultivation was completely stabilized at Qi Refining Stage 6.

Having broken through in cultivation, Li Luochen was overjoyed. After stopping his cultivation, he quickly walked out of the meditation chamber.

Li Yanfeng, who was guarding outside the door, saw him emerge from seclusion, and a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

"Third Uncle, you've come out of seclusion? Did you break through?"

Li Luochen nodded and said, "Yes, I've broken through to Qi Refining Stage 6."

Hearing this, a look of joyful surprise flashed in Li Yanfeng's eyes. Although Li Luochen had not been in seclusion for long this time—taking only one month—breaking through to Qi Refining Stage 6 was still a good thing.

"Congratulations, Third Uncle. Qi Refining Stage 6! I wonder when I will be able to reach that level."

Li Luochen laughed, "Then you must Cultivate diligently. Now that we have Spirit Stones and high-quality Medicinal Pills, you just need to focus on your cultivation. By the way, I've been in seclusion for so long, the ordinary spiritual fields should be ready for harvest again, right?"

Li Yanfeng nodded and said, "Third Uncle, they will be ready in at most half a month."

The growth cycle of spiritual rice is nine and a half months, and it was about time for it to mature.

Li Luochen's eyes lit up. This time it was fifty mu of ordinary spiritual fields; he wondered what kind of rewards he would get.

"Good, Yanfeng, let's go take a look. By the way, has Yanhu broken through?"

Li Yanfeng hurriedly said, "Third Uncle, Yanhu is still in seclusion. He should be able to break through very soon."

As she spoke, a look of longing flashed in her eyes. She was only at Qi Refining Layer 2, not even at Qi Refining Layer 3.

However, now that there were resources, she believed it wouldn't be long before she could break through to Qi Refining Layer 3, either this year or next.

Thinking this, Li Yanfeng's mood improved.

With the supply of Medicinal Pills, the members of the Family were cultivating much faster. In another ten years, when Li Changfeng and the others grew up, the Family would truly be considered a cultivation Family.

Currently, Li Changfeng and the other three were still young; the oldest was barely eleven, and the youngest, Li Yanzhong, was not yet seven.

Although their cultivation might not be high by then, they would definitely be stronger than Li Yanfeng was now; at the very least, they would be at Qi Refining Layer 3.

Thinking this, Li Luochen looked at Li Yanfeng and said, "Yanfeng, you must work hard on your cultivation. You've already been caught up to by that kid Changfeng."

Li Yanfeng quickly said, "I'm also about to break through. Either way, it'll be this year or next."

Li Luochen nodded slightly, "Alright, then you need to hurry up."

As they spoke, the two had arrived at the edge of the spiritual fields outside. Looking at the golden spiritual rice in the fifty mu of ordinary spiritual fields, Li Luochen felt happy.

He also looked at the lush Rank 1 Low Grade spiritual rice, and Li Luochen felt even better.

Although there were only a few spiritual fields, it was already enough for the Family to be self-sufficient.

A few years from now, when Li Yanlong and Li Yanhu break through to Qi Refining Stage 5, he would look for other places to Cultivate Rank 1 Low Grade Spiritual Veins and open up more spiritual fields.

As long as there were enough spiritual fields, he would get more rewards, and the faster the Family would rise.

Although Hidden Dragon Island was only a small island of about twenty square kilometers, it didn't have a large population. Aside from Li Family Town, which was mostly populated by Family members, the total population was no more than fifty thousand.

However, Hidden Dragon Island was ultimately too small. If the number of Family members increased significantly, the island probably wouldn't be able to accommodate them.

If that happened, Li Luochen would have to find a way to purchase other islands.

The clan members were the Foundation of the Family. Without cultivating clan members, who would farm for him and allow him to gain rewards?

Thinking this, Li Luochen shook his head slightly. Thinking about all this now was still too premature.

After all, he hadn't even reached Qi Refining Stage 7 yet. Although Li Yanlong and the others were at Qi Refining Level 4, they definitely couldn't protect a Rank 1 Low Grade Spiritual Vein; they still needed to be properly nurtured.

Once he and the clan members grew up, by then, let alone buying ordinary islands, even purchasing a spiritual island would not be impossible.
