Chapter 7 Qi Replenishing Pill

Looking at the pills in front of him, Zhang Tie's eyes flashed with surprise, but he still picked out three things from the pile of items and handed them to Han Li.

"This is a Qi-boosting pill, which is very helpful for cultivators below the sixth level of Qi training. You can try to refine it, but I feel that if you use some aged herbs, there might be other changes."

Han Li was no longer polite when seeing this. After all, he almost died at the hands of Doctor Mo. He flipped through the items Zhang Tie handed over, and Han Li's eyes suddenly lit up, "There are so many materials!" Han Li opened a package, which was filled with various herbs.

"Doctor Mo is a good man!" Zhang Tie also laughed, "But all these are secondary. Look what this is?"

Zhang Tie took out a bag covered with patterns and handed it to Han Li.

Han Li took the bag and tried to open it, but he couldn't open it after spending a long time. He was so anxious that he scratched his head.

Then he seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Zhang Tie hurriedly, "Is this also a treasure like the small bottle?"

Zhang Tie shook his head. "This is not as good as your little green bottle. This is called a storage bag, and it is used to store items."

Afterwards, Zhang Tie demonstrated how to use the storage bag, which surprised Han Li so much that he kept saying that Brother Zhang was awesome.

"I have gained a lot of experience after traveling in the mountains for a year. Just follow me and you will definitely become an immortal in the future!" Zhang Tie patted Han Li's shoulder and said loudly.

"Of course! I believe you, Brother Zhang!" Having received so many benefits from Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie being so powerful, Han Li had long planned to follow Zhang Tie.

“By the way, Brother Zhang, do you think the world outside is really that exciting?” Thinking that Zhang Tie had gained so much knowledge in just one year since he left the mountain, Han Li became more yearning for the outside world of immortal cultivation.

“Don’t be impatient,” Zhang Tie said hurriedly when he saw Han Li was too excited. “It’s exciting out there, but that’s for people with strength. People like us who are new to Qi training can only become consumables for others’ happy experiences!”

Zhang Tie felt that Han Li seemed to have been led astray by him. Without the experience of dealing with Doctor Mo alone, Han Li was now a little naive. What if he suddenly died one day?

"Here is a book on the basic common sense of the immortal cultivation world. Take it and read it. Also, you must learn how to refine this Qi-boosting pill quickly. Also, your realm cannot fall behind. It's been such a long time. How come you are only at the third level of Qi training! I'm already at the fourth level!"

Han Li was overwhelmed when he heard this, like a high school student forced to study by his parents. He said dejectedly, "Brother Zhang, I understand. I'll go right away."

Zhang Tie looked at Han Li's useless appearance and stamped his feet in anger.

After Han Li left, Zhang Tie also began to think about the next step of his training. After practicing the Golden Light Art to the sixth level, he could start learning the Golden Sword Art. With the addition of the Flying Goose Art, he should have no difficulty dealing with ordinary Qi training cultivators.

“But it’s still not enough to fight against the sect disciples who have magic tools and talismans! Should we go down the mountain? It’s too dangerous!” Zhang Tie frowned. “Forget it, let’s practice first. At least after building the foundation, we will have a little self-protection power.”

……

Six years later.

In a secret room, Zhang Tie's face was solemn. He flipped his left hand and a small emerald green bottle appeared in his palm. He opened the bottle and found five crystal clear yellow pills inside. Zhang Tie gritted his teeth and swallowed all five pills in one gulp.

The violent medicinal power rushed directly into Zhang Tie's meridians. This pill was a Qi-boosting pill refined by Han Li using a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine. After the two people's experiments, one pill was enough for Han Li, who was at the third level of Qi training, to practice for a month and directly break through to the peak of the third level.

However, this medicine also has its flaws. It is too strong and can easily cause one to explode and die if taken continuously. In the past six years, Han Li has used this enhanced version of the Qi-boosting pill to break through to the ninth level of Qi training.

Zhang Tie's breakthrough was even faster, and he has now reached the thirteenth level of Qi training!
After all, it was a technique that could be practiced to the stage of foundation building, and it could be used before Dan was formed, so it was not a waste. This also allowed Zhang Tie to quickly break through to the perfection of Qi training within four years.

He was then stuck for two full years.

Breaking through the foundation requires a foundation-building pill! Where can Zhang Tie find a foundation-building pill now?
Then Zhang Tie wanted to try using the mark, but Han Li had no idea for two whole years, which made Zhang Tie sigh that maybe this is why foundation-building pills are needed to build a foundation.

If Han Li had not successfully made some changes to the Qi-boosting Pill a few days ago and successfully refined a milder Qi-boosting Pill, Zhang Tie would have been ready to go down the mountain to look for the Foundation-building Pill.

However, today Zhang Tie discovered another use for the mark, breaking through the bottleneck!

As long as he uses the mark when he breaks through, he can fully control the changes in his body, and perhaps use this to break through the foundation!

So after a few days of preparation, Zhang Tie decided to use Qi-boosting pills and marks to break through the foundation-building stage!
"There shouldn't be any problem!" Zhang Tie made all the preparations and swallowed five Qi-replenishing pills in one gulp!
Then the mark was activated immediately.

Although the enhanced Qi-boosting pills had become milder, it was still too much of a stretch to eat five of them in one go. Zhang Tie now felt as if he had swallowed an elephant in one gulp, and his entire body was about to explode!
Fortunately, Zhang Tie had already practiced the Elephant Armor Skill to the ninth level, which greatly improved his body strength. He was able to temporarily withstand the impact of the drug.

Moreover, the changes in his body at this moment were particularly clear in Zhang Tie's mind. He found that his meridians seemed to be unable to bear it!
The huge amount of spiritual power instantly tore through his meridians, and the overflowing spiritual energy rushed into his whole body, instantly breaking the brief balance of Zhang Tie's body.

"Not good!" Zhang Tie was shocked and quickly tried to control his spiritual power.

Fortunately, Zhang Tie activated the mark at this moment, and the circulation of spiritual energy became extremely slow. Zhang Tie actually managed to straighten out the spiritual energy!
At this moment, the spiritual energy in Zhang Tie's body suddenly disappeared, followed by a wave of pleasure from improved cultivation, which made Zhang Tie couldn't help but cry out.

Soon, Zhang Tie came back to his senses from this pleasure!

"Haha, I got it!"

Han Li ran over when he heard the noise. He instantly felt how powerful Zhang Tie was and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Brother Zhang, you made it!"

Looking at Zhang Tie's powerful strength, Han Li couldn't help but feel envious. He still had to rely on small bottles to ripen elixirs in order to make slow progress, but Zhang Tie broke through directly with just one enlightenment. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others!
I just don’t know if Brother Zhang will abandon me after he really becomes an immortal!

Han Li actually felt a sense of anxiety at this moment! Then Han Li quickly adjusted his mentality and cleared the thoughts in his mind.

"Congratulations, Brother Zhang!" Han Li said with a smile.
