Chapter 6: First Level of Qi Refining

Three months passed, and Lin Changqing was concentrating on practicing the Qi circulation in his own practice room. He continuously brought the spiritual energy from the outside into his body, and then practiced the Qi circulation again to refine the spiritual energy and finally merge it into his Dantian.

Then he used the spiritual energy in his Dantian to impact the acupuncture points in his tendons. There was only one acupuncture point left, and it seemed that he could pierce it with just a breath, but this acupuncture point had been impacted for a week. It was only today that it showed signs of softening.

Lin Changqing gritted his teeth. He didn't want to wait any longer. He stopped impacting the acupuncture points and began to accumulate spiritual energy in his dantian until enough was accumulated.

He rushed to the acupuncture point with all his strength. A loud "boom" was heard in his mind, and the surrounding spiritual energy rushed to Lin Changqing's body.

A refreshing feeling came over Lin Changqing, who felt that his life had undergone a qualitative leap, and a layer of black dirt with a terrible stench was expelled from the surface of his body. His breath also increased sharply.

Without having time to experience this feeling, I quickly calmed down my excitement, calmed my mind, and eliminated external interference.

He stabilized his newly broken cultivation, looked at the first meridian that was completely opened, and continued to circulate the Qi. The spiritual energy finally flowed into the Dantian, and this cycle repeated many times.

The spiritual energy in Dantian gradually increased, and the cultivation level of the first level of Qi training gradually became stable.

Finally I breathed a sigh of relief. After the breakthrough, I was too excited and didn't stabilize my cultivation in time. This led to many people falling back.

Especially for inexperienced independent cultivators, these are valuable experiences learned in the family school, which can help the children of the family avoid many detours.

His body stinks so badly that Lin Changqing quickly goes out and fetches water from the yard to wash himself clean.

After breaking through to the Qi Refining Stage, his five senses were greatly enhanced. He could now hear and see clearly, and even hear the sound of bees collecting pollen. He could also see things very clearly, and even the tiny dust in the air could be seen clearly.

Finally I broke through to the Qi Refining Stage. It was not easy. All the other friends broke through one after another, and only Lin Changqing was left. Fortunately, he also broke through now, otherwise Lin Changqing would have been depressed and introverted.

After breaking through to the Qi Refining Stage, he was one step closer to contracting the spiritual seed with the halo. Lin Changqing vaguely felt that the spiritual seed was very important to him. He was looking forward to it.

Don't think too much, just go and tell your family. Grandpa has a gift waiting for him.

When his parents heard that he had broken through to the Qi Refining Stage, they were extremely happy and took out the gifts they had prepared.

My father's was a first-grade, mid-grade purple bamboo sword. It was a wood-attributed magical weapon, with a blade two feet and two inches long, and it was smooth and neat overall, and it was considered the best among mid-grade magical weapons.

The gift from his mother was an exquisite storage bag. There was a three-square-meter space inside, and two hundred spirit stones and several dozen spirit talismans were placed inside. What spirit talismans they were would only be known after Lin Changqing had refined the storage bag himself.

What my aunt took out were three bottles of first-grade intermediate-quality Qi Gathering Pills, each containing ten elixirs.

Let him take one pill at least every ten days. He must wait until the poison is completely eliminated before taking the next one. Otherwise, it will accumulate and harm his advancement to the foundation-building stage in the future.

My second uncle has not returned from the hunting team yet. I will definitely give him a gift when he returns. I just don't know what he will give me. I am looking forward to it.

I thanked my parents and aunt. Without being reminded, I ran to find my grandfather and told him the good news.

Grandpa smiled and took out two jade bottles, saying, "In these two jade bottles, one is a first-grade top-grade marrow cleansing pill. Top-grade pills have less toxicity. This one is for you to further expel impurities and toxins from your body and increase your potential. It can allow you to go further.

In the other jade bottle is a hundred-year-old red fruit, which can increase your spiritual energy by at least one level. Natural spiritual fruit is non-toxic. I suggest you take this when you are at the third level of Qi Refining and are preparing to break through to the fourth level. It can help you."

Lin Changqing thanked Grandpa and happily put away the two jade bottles. He knew that Grandpa loved him. When he succeeded in cultivation in the future, he would definitely repay Grandpa.

Grandpa also reminded me that the magic spells to be given priority to include the Spiritual Rain Technique, the Golden Needle Technique, and the Peiyuan Inducing Childbirth Technique.

He happily agreed. Lin Changqing understood that this was a preparation for the spiritual plant master. In particular, the Peiyuan Inducing Birth Technique was a secret technique inherited by the Lin family spiritual plant masters, which could induce birth without harming the spiritual plant itself. It was the core inheritance of the Lin family spiritual plant masters. After leaving his grandfather, Lin Changqing was in a good mood. He even felt that the air was much fresher.

Now go back and quickly prepare the storage bag and the purple bamboo sword. Otherwise it will be too inconvenient to carry too many things in your arms. Then hurry up and practice.

Lin Changqing hoped that hard work could make up for his shortcomings. Since he was not talented, he had to practice hard every minute. Besides, practicing made people happy, so Lin Changqing liked practicing.

In the afternoon, I went to the school and told my friends that I had broken through the first level of Qi Refining. Everyone was very happy. They all shared their Qi Refining cultivation experience with Lin Changqing. Everyone had reached the Qi Refining stage, except Lin Changqing who was the slowest.

For example, Lin Changlian took ten days to draw Qi into her body, and twenty days to refine the first level of Qi, which was much faster than Lin Qing. Now six or seven months later, she has already refined the second level of Qi. She is the fastest among all people. She is deeply loved by the third elder.

The Third Elder is already 95 years old this year, and has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. Since he failed to establish his foundation more than 40 years ago, he has been teaching the next generation in the family school.

Many people in the family embarked on the path of cultivating immortals under his guidance, including Lin Changqing's father, second uncle, and aunt. Therefore, he is respected by everyone.

After leaving the hall, he went to the third elder to receive the jade identity card. This time he was truly a person of status.

Lin Changqing followed the instructions and dripped a drop of blood on the jade token, which displayed the names of Jiufeng Mountain and Lin Changqing, as well as 100 family contribution points.

The third elder introduced: "These 100 contribution points are the benefits given by the family to every cultivator. They can be exchanged for spirit stones, elixirs, storage bags, magic tools, etc. at the family's general affairs hall..."

Lin Changqing listened carefully to the Third Elder's introduction, even though he had already known all this from his family.

After the Third Elder finished explaining these basic knowledge, he also reminded me to practice well, and to come and ask him if I have any questions. When I succeed in my practice, I should remember to take care of the tribe members, etc...

Lin Changqing agreed respectfully, and talked for a while before bowing and leaving.

The school had introduced family contribution points. Lin Changqing knew that the exchange rate of contribution points to spirit stones was 1:1, but the exchange rate of spirit stones to contribution points was 1.5:1. This was to prevent someone from using the spirit stone loophole to gain contribution points.

After all, Foundation Building Pills can only be exchanged with Contribution Points. Foundation Building Pills are generally not available in the market outside.

Only every few years when the market holds a large auction will a few foundation-building pills come out. But the transaction price is always between 40,000 and 50,000, which is a sky-high price!
It would take many years for a family to accumulate enough money to be able to obtain a foundation-building pill.

The price of placing it in the General Affairs Hall is 35,000 contribution points. It is cheaper than outside. It is also a benefit given by the family to the clan members.

It's OK if your family is a cultivator, as they can provide some cultivation resources. For ordinary people, if there is no cultivator in their family, they have to rely on themselves, so these 100 contribution points are particularly important to them.

Like the three mortals who were found to have spiritual roots this year, they were Lin Changqing's classmates.

Generally, with these 100 contribution points, 10 points are exchanged for a half-cubic storage bag, 40 to 50 points are exchanged for a first-grade low-quality magic weapon, and the rest are exchanged in multiple times for first-grade low-quality Qi Gathering Pills at 2 contribution points each.

This is a monk from a well-established family.

The conditions for cultivation for casual practitioners are even more difficult. First, there is no technique. Second, there are no resources. Third, there is no spiritual vein or safe environment for cultivation. Fourth, there is no one to guide.

They all embarked on the path of cultivating immortals at random opportunities. They often suffered bloodshed in order to fight for a few cultivation resources, and there were many who died.

Therefore, Lin Changqing is particularly grateful to his family. He has no way to repay them, so he can only work hard to cultivate and repay them in the future.
