Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 464 Breakthrough
"Renfeng, is what you're saying true?"

Yun Yun asked in surprise.

"How dare this disciple deceive his master!"

Jin Renfeng laughed.

"According to my experiments, this medicine can increase the efficiency of cultivating battle qi by up to ten times."

"With such a divine medicine, the cultivation of fighting spirit among the disciples of my Yunlan Sect will be greatly accelerated."

"In the future, geniuses like Xiao Yan who achieve the Dou Zhe level at the age of twelve will surely emerge in large numbers."

"If this elixir truly has such effects, you have done a great service this time!"

Yun Yun's eyes lit up, and she grabbed the boy's hand.

The effects of Foundation Building Elixir may not be noticeable on an individual, but its efficacy is amplified many times over when applied to an entire sect.

To cultivate the Qi of Battle, one must go through the foundational stage of cultivating the Qi of Battle.

During this period, no matter how talented you are, you will need to spend at least eight to ten years building a foundation before you can break through to the next level.

However, the emergence of Foundation Building Elixir broke this rule.

Its special effects greatly shorten the time required to cultivate Dou Qi, allowing even those with average talent to become Dou Zhe (a type of martial artist) around the age of ten.

As a result, fighters of the same age in the Yunlan Sect often have four or five more years of training time than others, and the cost of advancement is greatly reduced.

If this continues, with just three generations of training, the number of powerful individuals in the Yunlan Sect will far exceed that of other forces.

. . . . . . . .

"Sect Master, after experiments, this spiritual liquid can indeed improve the efficiency of fighting spirit cultivation."

"The improvement in skill level varies from five to ten times depending on the disciple's talent."

"However, generally speaking, it can at least save disciples several years of hard work!"

An elderly man in white robes, holding a jade bottle, bowed and reported.

This person was Yun Ling, the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect, whose status within the sect was second only to the Sect Master. Therefore, upon learning of the Foundation Establishment Elixir, Yun Yun immediately informed him.

"I never expected this pill to be so effective!"

Yun Yun's beautiful eyes were filled with joy.

"Renfeng has truly brought a great treasure to our Yunlan Sect this time."

"Sect Master, this prescription is so extraordinary that it should be classified as a closely guarded secret of the Yunlan Sect and forbidden to be leaked."

The old man offered his advice.

Yun Yun shook her head slightly, her beautiful eyes looking at the young man beside her.

"Renfeng, would you be willing to offer the prescription to the sect?"

"Master is joking. My life was saved by you. What is a mere prescription?"

Jin Renfeng said indifferently.

Yun Yun nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her face.

“You’re a good kid, but your master won’t let you suffer.”

"Now that you have performed a great service, is there anything you want? Your master can grant your request."

This is preparation for rewarding those who have made contributions!
Jin Renfeng understood.

In such situations, it's natural to choose the item that's most urgently needed.

He thought for a moment, then said,

"This disciple is about to break through to the Great Dou Master level, but is still missing a fire-attribute cultivation technique of the Earth rank!"

Jin Renfeng is about to break through to the Great Dou Master level. While his advanced Xuan-rank cultivation technique is decent, it will become increasingly ineffective at the Great Dou Master stage.

Jin Renfeng remembered that Xiao Xun'er changed to a low-level cultivation technique during her time as a Great Dou Master.

As the eldest daughter of an ancient clan, Xiao Xun'er naturally couldn't lack the techniques of fighting spirit.

Changing to a lower-level cultivation technique at this time indicates that it is the best time to do so.

As a reference, he naturally needed to prepare for the cultivation method.

Even the lowest-level Earth-rank fire-attribute cultivation technique was being sold for ten million gold coins on the capital's black market.

Jin Renfeng's current net worth is much less than before, so it would be too difficult for him to auction it off himself.

Naturally, they could only seek help from their sect.

"A low-level Earth-rank cultivation technique is far too early for you to attempt to learn it given your current strength."

Yun Yun frowned slightly.

The number of Earth-rank cultivation techniques in the Yunlan Sect is extremely small.

Disciples within the sect who wish to cultivate low-level Earth-rank techniques must either achieve great merit or break through to the Dou Wang realm.

Jin Renfeng is currently only at the peak of the Dou Shi level. If he wants to cultivate, his strength will be far behind.

"However, since you have performed such a great service, it is not appropriate for your teacher to refuse."

"Our Yunlan Sect has very few Earth-rank cultivation techniques. Apart from the wind attribute, there are only two or three other types of battle qi techniques in total."

"Fortunately, when Gu He joined the sect, the sect prepared a low-level earth-rank fire-attribute cultivation technique for him."

"I'll give you the token; you can go to the cultivation technique pavilion to practice when the time comes."

"Thank you, Master."

Jin Renfeng bowed and thanked him.

The fact that the Yunlan Sect possessed a reserve of fire-attribute Earth-rank cultivation techniques was truly beyond his expectations.

He had originally planned to try his luck in the black market or other countries, but it seems that's no longer necessary!
"Although Earth-rank cultivation techniques are precious, you are a disciple of the Yunlan Sect, and cultivation techniques are something that the sect should pass on."

"To exchange such merit for something is to make me, your teacher, indebted to you."

Yun Yun said slowly,
"Do you have any other conditions? I can agree to them all."

Can I make a request?

Jin Renfeng was overjoyed; he hadn't expected his master to be so generous this time.

An opportunity like this shouldn't be missed.

After thinking for a moment, Jin Renfeng spoke.

"This disciple can already refine fourth-grade pills, but because my strength is still at the peak of the Battle Master level, I cannot unleash my true fire."

"Therefore, I urgently need a kind of beast fire to improve my alchemy skills."

"You can now refine fourth-grade pills?"

Yun Yun was somewhat surprised.

"A breakthrough was achieved in Wutan City."

Jin Renfeng responded.

"At such a young age, to be able to refine fourth-grade pills is probably far beyond even Master Guhe's ability."

Yunling exclaimed in amazement.

He had always known that Jin Renfeng had outstanding talent in cultivation, but I never expected that his talent in alchemy was also so amazing.

"For alchemists, beast fire is indeed a much-needed resource."

Yun Yun frowned slightly.

With Guhe as an example, she naturally knew the importance of fire to alchemists.

"Elder, are there any beast fire auctions in the capital recently?"

The woman turned her head and asked the old man beside her.

"I haven't heard of that."

Yun Leng said in a deep voice,
"However, if there is any news, the Mittel Auction House will surely know."

"We could try our luck over there."

"Then this matter will be left to you."

Yun Yun instructed,
"No matter what, we must prepare a beast fire of level six or above for Renfeng." "Sect Master, rest assured, with such talent as Junior Nephew Renfeng, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find a suitable fire source for him."

Yunling guarantees the way.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As night fell, Jin Renfeng sat cross-legged on the bed, circulating his internal fighting spirit.

After three days of accumulation, his dantian was now filled with liquid fighting qi, like tiny water droplets, filling the fighting qi vortex.

After refining the last wisp of heaven and earth energy into battle qi, he slowly finished his practice and opened his eyes.

"Now that my liquid battle qi is full, the next step is to break through to the Great Battle Master level and condense a battle crystal."

Jin Renfeng murmured.

Although the methods of cultivating battle qi vary greatly, the advancement system is completely the same.

In the Fighter stage, one condenses the fighting energy vortex; in the Master stage, one liquefies the fighting energy.

Breaking through to the Great Dou Master stage involves solidifying liquid Dou Qi into a Dou Crystal.

"This method of breaking through to the Great Dou Master is somewhat similar to my approach to breaking through to the Demon Emperor."

According to Jin Renfeng's prediction, if he wants to break through to the Demon Emperor level, he will need to solidify the magic power in his body and form a golden core.

"Although the performance of breaking through to the Great Dou Master and breaking through to the Demon Emperor is similar, the difference in strength is too great to be compared as the same realm."

Jin Renfeng thought to himself.

Currently, the energy level within his body is only around that of a Lesser Demon. Even if he breaks through to the Great Dou Master level, he will not be able to reach the level of a Great Demon King.

Therefore, it is impossible to simply regard the two realms as the same existence.

"However, since both are solidified primordial energy, even if their realms are different, they must have something in common."

"We must not be careless about this breakthrough. We should try to test it with the causal illusion of the Samsara Mirror."

Having made up his mind, Jin Renfeng summoned the Mirror of Reincarnation from his sea of ​​consciousness.

Last time at the Xiao family, he resolved the engagement issue between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran. He also indirectly exposed the existence of Yao Lao.

As the protagonist of the Battle Through the Heavens world, Xiao Yan helped him gain a full 1000 points of causal power.

At this moment, Jin Renfeng's causal power is extremely abundant. At this crucial juncture of breakthrough, he naturally needs to rely on the illusion to grasp the key points within it as much as possible.

The antique mirror surface shimmered with a faint silver glow.

"Mirror of Reincarnation, activate the Karmic Illusion function!"

Jin Renfeng issued the order.

[Instructions received!]

[Activating the Karmic Illusion requires 10 points of Karmic Power. Continue?]

A message came from the Mirror of Reincarnation.

"10 points of causal power? It seems I guessed right. The Doupo world and the Fox Spirit World are indeed on the same level."

Jin Renfeng murmured.

Although the world of Doupo is much larger than the world of Fox Spirit Matchmaker.

However, if the energy levels of heaven and earth are consistent, then they are naturally worlds of the same level.

"continue!"

Jin Renfeng gave the order.

[Command received! Consuming 10 points of Causal Power, remaining 3386 points of Causal Power!]

[The Illusory Realm of Cause and Effect Opens!]

The surrounding environment transformed into distorted lines, and with a dizzying sensation, Jin Renfeng reappeared in the quiet room.

Knowing that he was in an illusion, he wasted no time and immediately began to work on breaking through to the Great Dou Master level.

As one's mind and spirit sink into one's body, the fighting energy vortex moves accordingly.

As the cultivation technique was activated, the energy of heaven and earth surged into the meridians, transforming into battle qi, which then flowed into the already overflowing battle qi vortex.

In an instant, crimson liquid energy gushed out like a dam releasing floodwaters.

"it's time!"

Jin Renfeng understood and changed his hand seals according to the instructions of the technique.

The slowly rotating vortex began to accelerate, and the acceleration lasted for a very short time, less than ten seconds. The vortex that was originally moving lazily turned into a wildly spinning spiral. Due to the high-speed rotation of the battle qi, red arcs appeared around the vortex.

As it rotates at such a high speed, the liquid energy within the cyclone is being compressed and reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, although the energy is decreasing, Jin Renfeng's mind can clearly sense that deep within the cyclone, a substance with enormous energy is slowly taking shape.

"Soon..."

Sensing the solid that was about to take shape, Jin Renfeng dared not relax his soul power for a moment, keeping a close eye on the core of the vortex and sensing the changes within it.

Time flowed slowly, and the liquid energy within the cyclone was rapidly decreasing; everything seemed to be proceeding along the smoothest path.

However, a full half hour passed, and even though a large number of liquid battle qi droplets gathered in it, there was still no sign of the liquid battle qi solidifying.

With his battle aura overflowing, his body was now enveloped in a faint crimson glow. This crimson glow covered his body, forming a faint crimson armor.

"how so?"

Jin Renfeng was somewhat confused.

With his talent, he shouldn't be stuck at the threshold of breaking through to the Great Dou Master level.

"The amount of battle qi is sufficient, and there are no problems with the cultivation techniques and breakthrough methods, so why is it still so difficult to break through?"

Jin Renfeng fell into deep thought.

While he was lost in thought, the immense power of his soul, now free from restraint, unconsciously merged into his battle aura.

As the power of the soul surged in, much like brine curdling tofu, the extremely compressed liquid energy began to rapidly condense.

"This is?"

Jin Renfeng also noticed this change and quickly turned his attention back to the Dou Qi vortex.

Within the swirling vortex, the liquid energy had gradually dwindled. Suddenly, under the watchful gaze of the mind, a reddish rhomboid crystal, no bigger than a walnut, slowly floated in the center of the vortex, remaining still.

The flickering light revealed the fragility of this newborn creature.

Staring in surprise at the crimson rhombus-shaped crystal that seemed to stand in the eye of a storm, Jin Renfeng could clearly feel a sense of comfort emanating from the depths of his soul the instant the crystal appeared.

This little thing is the most crucial item for becoming a Great Dou Master: Dou Crystal!
"They succeeded so easily?"

Jin Renfeng was somewhat surprised.

He never expected that the bottleneck that he thought he couldn't break through no matter what would happen would be broken so quickly after he incorporated a little soul power.

He tried running the technique, and the crimson battle qi flowed into his body like water along his meridians.

Under the control of his mind, the battle qi quickly condensed and transformed into a crimson suit of armor.

Jin Renfeng raised his hand and patted his chest. Although it was just a condensed energy, it made a metallic sound like a solid metal.

“It’s pretty solid!”

Jin Renfeng exclaimed in admiration.

He then tried to condense weapons using his battle aura, and succeeded in doing so.

After the breakthrough, the battle qi within his body became like his hands and feet, becoming as easy to control as his own arms and legs, and he could change into various forms at will without any obstacles.

"With the Battle Crystal and the ability to condense Battle Qi Armor, I have indeed broken through to the Great Battle Master level."

Jin Renfeng seemed to be deep in thought.

"It seems that the key to breaking through to the Great Dou Master level is to integrate soul power."

He also understood why he had encountered bottlenecks when trying to break through.

The problem actually lies with him.

Jin Renfeng's soul power was too strong, far exceeding his cultivation level, and too stable, so that his soul was tightly sealed and difficult to affect.

According to the breakthrough method of a Great Dou Master, only by integrating the power of the soul into Dou Qi can one condense Dou Crystal.

The power of the soul cannot be shaken, while the battle qi urgently needs the power of the soul. The two interfere with each other, resulting in a dead end.
