Qi Refining Level 7

Actually, Wang Ling regretted it a bit the moment she stepped into the room; this was her own room.

Besides her own brother, it was the first time a man had entered.

Seeing a pink bellyband on the bed, Wang Ling's face reddened even more, and she quickly covered it with a piece of clothing.

Wang Ling glanced at Zhou Yuan, and seeing that his gaze was not directed there, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

After Wang Ling closed the door, her face slightly flushed as she said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou Yuan, what do you wish to speak with me about?"

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, then said, "Fellow Daoist Wang Ling, I presume someone from the White Tiger Sect knocked on your door today as well."

"I just specifically inquired, and Xingan City is currently under full martial law, with no one allowed to leave."

"The reason is that a Disciple of the White Tiger Sect was killed, and this person is Zhan Feng!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ling was startled, then her brows furrowed slightly; she somewhat understood the meaning of Zhou Yuan's words.

Wang Ling looked at Zhou Yuan, then calmly said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou Yuan, are you worried that the matter of Zhan Ming will be leaked?"

Hearing Wang Ling's words, Zhou Yuan secretly praised her; talking to smart people saves a lot of trouble.

Zhou Yuan nodded, then said with a solemn expression, "Fellow Daoist Wang Ling, to be honest, I'm not worried about you and me, but Fellow Daoist Wang Qiang is hard to say."

"He is someone who can't keep secrets and can easily expose flaws. So I hope Fellow Daoist Wang Ling can have a good talk with him."

"Once this matter is leaked, Wang Qiang and I will inevitably die without a burial place."

"As for Fellow Daoist Wang Ling, being beautiful and an Alchemist, death is not likely, but she will also be imprisoned and treated as a plaything!"

Zhou Yuan spoke very directly. Upon hearing the words 'beautiful,' Wang Ling's face flushed slightly, and at the same time, her brows furrowed, knowing that everything Zhou Yuan said was true.

Wang Ling took a deep breath and said to Zhou Yuan, "Fellow Daoist Zhou Yuan, rest assured, I will have a good talk with him."

"Even if something really happens, we will not implicate Fellow Daoist Zhou Yuan!"

Seeing Wang Ling say this, Zhou Yuan said no more, then spoke, "Fellow Daoist Wang Ling, how many Medicinal Pills do you have here? I want to buy them all!"

Wang Ling was stunned, remembering the first time Zhou Yuan bought Medicinal Pills, he only bought one.

"Could it be that he also killed that Zhan Feng?"

This thought instantly popped into Wang Ling's mind. For some reason, she felt that her guess wouldn't be wrong.

If Zhou Yuan knew what Wang Ling was thinking, he would very likely kill her to silence her.

Although the other party was beautiful and gentle, making Zhou Yuan very tempted, but thinking of being stuck with an unreliable brother-in-law, the passion in Zhou Yuan's heart instantly diminished by more than half.

He couldn't handle a 'brother-supporting demon,' otherwise, something would happen sooner or later!

"Including those just refined today, I have thirty-four Medicinal Pills here!"

Wang Ling didn't hesitate at all and directly took out a porcelain bottle.

Zhou Yuan directly took out one hundred and fifty Low-Grade Spirit Stones and gave them to Wang Ling, exchanging them for these thirty-four Medicinal Pills.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou Yuan, you don't need so many Spirit Stones, just give me one hundred and thirty-six!"

Wang Ling quickly said to Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan shook his head, then said, "Fellow Daoist Wang Ling, your Medicinal Pills have improved in quality now, so of course, I should give more. Please accept it!"

"Also, Fellow Daoist Wang Ling, if you refine Medicinal Pills recently, do not sell them externally for now. I want however many you have!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ling nodded and agreed, then opened the door and walked out with Zhou Yuan.

Seeing the two appear, Wang Qiang couldn't help but feel relieved.

Wang Ling personally escorted Zhou Yuan to the door. Watching Zhou Yuan's departing back, Wang Ling was already certain that Zhan Feng must have been killed by Zhou Yuan!

After Zhou Yuan returned home, he took a deep breath, then without hesitation, took out Medicinal Pills and began to Cultivate.

Zhou Yuan knew that secrets couldn't be kept forever, and the matters of Zhan Ming and Zhan Feng would be exposed sooner or later, so he had to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

The fastest way to improve strength was naturally to kill people and seize their treasures, but with the White Tiger Sect watching so closely now, Zhou Yuan didn't dare to act rashly.

The White Tiger Sect was a Sect with Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators guarding it.

Zhou Yuan estimated that the White Tiger Sect member stationed in Xingan City had a Cultivation of at least Qi Refining Eighth Layer, and possibly even Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

He was currently only at Qi Refining Sixth Layer, not an opponent for them, so improving his strength was the right path.

If he couldn't kill, then he could only consume Medicinal Pills.

Fortunately, his neighbor was an Alchemist, which saved him a lot of trouble.

To speed up his Cultivation, Zhou Yuan directly took out a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone and placed it between his palms, then swallowed a Medicinal Pill.

By evening, Zhou Yuan awoke from his Cultivation.

Since advancing to Qi Refining Sixth Layer, his speed of refining Medicinal Pills had increased significantly. When he was at Qi Refining First Layer, it took him two days to refine one Medicinal Pill.

But now, one Medicinal Pill was refined in less than four hours.

Zhou Yuan looked at the Mid-Grade Spirit Stone in his hand; there wasn't much change, and he secretly nodded, truly worthy of being a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.

Zhou Yuan immediately checked his panel.

[Cultivation: Qi Refining 6th Layer: 95 / 550]

His Cultivation value directly increased from 63 to 95, a growth of 32, which made Zhou Yuan overjoyed.

Previously, a Medicinal Pill refined by Wang Ling could only increase his Cultivation by 10, but now it increased by 32. Besides the improved quality of the Medicinal Pills, it was also the effect of the Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.

Zhou Yuan instantly gained much confidence. After eating something and resting for a while, he continued to Cultivate.

For the next four days, Zhou Yuan Cultivated day and night, consuming sixteen Medicinal Pills, and his Cultivation advanced further.

[Host: Zhou Yuan]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining 7th Layer: 57 / 700]

[Lifespan: 21 / 546]

[Spiritual Root: Four Spiritual Roots]

[Luck Value: 40]

[Skills: Middle-Grade Fireball Technique, Low-Level Soul Gathering Array]

[Special Abilities: Thousand Faces Technique, Aura Concealment Technique (Second Layer)]

When Zhou Yuan saw Qi Refining Seventh Layer, his eyes were exceptionally bright. He could feel that his strength had more than doubled compared to Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

Zhou Yuan looked at the Mid-Grade Spirit Stone in his hand. After four days, it had dimmed a lot, but there was still some spiritual power left inside.

Zhou Yuan put away the Mid-Grade Spirit Stone. He estimated that if he continued to Cultivate at this intensity, this Mid-Grade Spirit Stone could last for at most two or three more days.

Zhou Yuan stood up, then stretched his muscles and bones. Cultivating non-stop for four or five consecutive days was very tiring.

Zhou Yuan opened his door and went to Wang Ling's side, knocking on her door.

This time, Wang Ling opened the door herself. The two exchanged a few words, and Zhou Yuan bought the Medicinal Pills she had refined over the past few days from her, a total of twenty-five.

Then Zhou Yuan bid farewell to Wang Ling and returned home!

The reason Zhou Yuan was so anxious was that he wasn't sure when he would have to flee.

Cultivating with Medicinal Pills was much faster than with Spirit Stones, so buying the Medicinal Pills now was a precaution.

Moreover, he was preparing to start practicing the Clear Wind Sword Technique!

Combat techniques were also very important; they were truly lethal methods!
