Infiltrating the world of cultivation

After leaving Zuoqiu Zhen's residence, Wang Chao went straight back to his own. Zuoqiu Zhen was naturally guarded, so he didn't need to worry.

On his way back to his residence, Wang Chao's lips curled into a smile.

At this moment, Nangong Qingyu has probably already seen that bra, right?

This is a local specialty of Earth. I don't know about other places, but at least within the Chu and Wei states, I've never heard of bras; they mostly have things like bellybands.

Embroidery, oh embroidery, I never knew you could be so skillful!

After returning to his residence, Wang Chao began to examine the Qiankun bag of the Qi Refining Stage 3 cultivator.

Wang Chao had only ever seen this kind of Qiankun bag on the old man who tested spiritual roots; this was the first time he had ever actually touched one.

From the outside, this Qiankun bag is nothing special; at most, it's a fine silk pouch.

After using mental energy to probe, it was discovered that there was a hidden world inside, a storage space measuring twenty square meters.

This cultivation civilization is quite adept at using space; the storage chips that the dynasty brought from Earth were even made by Slovaks.

It was unique in the entire country of China, and after arriving in the world of cultivation, it was destroyed and scrapped by the Nine-Story Ancient Pagoda.

Wang Chao used his spiritual power to probe and secretly thought that this cultivator was really poor. He was a Qi Refining Stage 3 cultivator, yet he only had 300 spirit stones in his storage space.

It should be noted that both Zuo Qiuzhen and the deceased Han Dianli were worth thousands of spirit stones.

In fact, the dynasty wronged the deceased cultivator, who was located in the Nanshan Spirit Mine, a place rich in resources.

For someone outside the mine, having three hundred spirit stones is already considered quite wealthy; otherwise, why would Nangong Qingyu have accepted the Dynasty's order?

Besides that, there is a book called "Qinghui Yiqi Jue", which contains quite a complete set of information, covering everything from the first stage of Qi Refining to the sixth stage.

It contained more cultivators than the one he and the White-Robed National Preceptor Li Wenshu had killed, and also a book on the Five Elements Basic Spells, which was more complete and contained many spells unknown to the dynasty.

However, these spells can only be practiced after reaching the second stage of Qi Refining, so the dynasty could only sigh in vain.

In addition, there were fifteen talismans, one immobilization talisman, one speed talisman, and the rest were talismans for the Five Elements magic, including the Vajra talisman that had given the dynasty quite a headache.

There is also a bottle of Spirit-Nourishing Pills, containing twenty pills.

The most valuable thing on that Qi Refining Stage 3 cultivator was his flying sword.

This is a treasure from the immortals; the dynasty doesn't know much about the weapons used by these cultivators.

However, it is clear that the weapons used by cultivators are not comparable to ordinary iron.

For example, the Ghost King Banner used in the Nahan ceremony released a large number of Yin spirits to assist in the battle. If it weren't for the power of the laser beams, the outcome would have been uncertain.

Unfortunately, the Ghost King Banner was shattered by the dynasty, leaving not even a trace.

Zheng!

Wang Chao infused his spiritual power into the flying sword, which immediately emitted a blue light. Its sharp edge could cut a hair in two.

Although the dynasty has not tested it, this flying sword should be able to cut through iron like mud without any problem.

Once Wang Chao picked up the flying sword, he felt an irresistible urge to put it down.

Huh? The wound has actually healed?!

At this moment, Wang Chao was shocked to realize that his left shoulder, which had been pierced, was completely unharmed. If it weren't for the scar on it, Wang Chao would have doubted whether he was injured at all.

He knew that Wang Chao had a special constitution, but how could he be recovering so quickly? Could it be that his life level had evolved?

After all, Wang Chao is now considered a cultivator, so it's understandable that his body has a strong recovery ability. However, he didn't expect that in less than a morning, his wounds would be almost completely healed.

Even with his ability to see inside his body, Wang Chao still couldn't figure out the source of his special abilities.

After a short rest, Wang Chao began to take the Spirit Nourishing Pill.

He is now just one step away from reaching the second stage of Qi Refining. As long as he has enough spiritual energy, reaching the second stage of Qi Refining will be a natural outcome.

Ten days later, someone knocked on the door and told the dynasty that Zuoqiu Zhen had survived a great calamity and had reached the insurmountable barrier.

Wang Chao breathed a sigh of relief. Zuo Qiuzhen was a hero among men, and it would be a great pity if he were to die like this.

Fortunately, good fortune smiled upon him, sparing his life. As a result, his cultivation level was also greatly improved, bringing him one step closer to pioneering a new path.

Wang Chao asked that person to bring eighty Spirit-Nourishing Pills to Zuo Qiuzhen, and then have him convey a message that Zuo Qiuzhen should clean up the mess in the No. 3 mining area, as he was going into seclusion.

Wang Chao also realized that Zuo Qiuzhen wanted to be a hands-off manager, but Zuo Qiuzhen was lazy, and Wang Chao was even lazier, so he directly announced that he was going into seclusion.

Although I'm only one step away from reaching the second stage of Qi Refining, that step won't be easy to take.

A dynasty possesses five elemental roots, requiring several times the resources of an ordinary person, so it can only proceed step by step.

The visitor then gave Wang Chao several special spirit stones. These were ice-attribute spirit stones, containing a large amount of ice element. Wang Chao tried to absorb one of them.

The feeling is like someone with bleeding gums, in excruciating pain, having an ice cube in their mouth – an unbearably pungent and unpleasant sensation.

Moreover, its spiritual energy was not as good as that of a non-attribute spirit stone, so the dynasty stopped using it and kept it as a souvenir.

After everything was settled, Wang Chao began his secluded cultivation. For a whole month, he did not leave his house. During this month, he focused on absorbing the medicinal power of the Spirit Nourishing Pill.

At this moment, Wang Chao felt as if he had touched the barrier between the first and second stages of Qi Refining.

"It's now!"

Wang Chao took out a Spirit Gathering Pill and swallowed it in one gulp. Instantly, a surge of spiritual power filled his acupoints.

Wang Chao quickly closed his eyes and began to practice the "Qinghui One Qi Technique," focusing intently on guiding his spiritual energy.

hum!

Spiritual energy circulated throughout his body, growing faster and faster, but it seemed he was still a little short of breaking through to the second stage of Qi Refining.

Fight!

Wang Chao gritted his teeth and swallowed the remaining Spirit Gathering Pill, causing the spiritual power within his body to become even more violent.

Ah!

Wang Chao's body was swollen red, like a boiled shrimp, and his expression was extremely ferocious, as if he was enduring great pain.

For some reason, Wang Chao felt that if he were to cultivate the "Qinghui One Qi Technique," it would be much more difficult for him than for ordinary people.

Wang Chao felt as if a bonfire was burning inside his stomach, a heat that seemed to emanate from the depths of his soul.

Bang!

The very lifeblood of the dynasty has begun to break!

Ah!

Wang Chao let out a painful scream. What on earth had happened? Reaching the second stage of Qi Refining should have been a natural progression, right? How could such a twist of fate have occurred?!

Could it be that I'm not used to the new environment? Is my body unable to cultivate the techniques of the cultivation world?!

Go for it! What great things can you accomplish if you're always afraid of everything? Take a gamble, and you might turn a bicycle into a motorcycle. The bold will thrive, the timid will starve. Even if you die, your head will only leave a small scar.

Wang Chao gritted his teeth and did not back down. Instead, he continued to manipulate the spiritual power within his body, guiding it along the predetermined trajectory.

It wasn't that he didn't want to back down, but rather that there was nowhere to retreat and no way to avoid it. The spiritual energy within his body was too volatile, and if he wasn't careful, it would cause a riot.

Bang bang bang!

The very lifeblood of the dynasty was breaking down one after another.

Even more bizarrely, those severed meridians somehow reconnected.

What's going on? Has my body's regenerative ability become this strong? The dynasty is trapped in a vicious cycle, with its meridians constantly breaking and repairing.

Large beads of sweat covered Wang Chao's forehead; he was experiencing both pain and pleasure.

As time goes by, the number of times the meridians break down gradually decreases, and eventually, the meridians return to normal and stop breaking down.

boom!

A sound of breaking free of shackles came from the depths of the soul, and the dynasty reached the second stage of Qi Refining.
