Shen Yuan Ring

Time passed quickly.

Ji Daoyi looked at it carefully again, but still had no clue, and finally had to stop.

He didn't intend to waste his precious time on one book, so he shifted his focus to the remaining one.

As the name suggests, "The Ji Family's Collection of Body Refining Elixir Formulas" is a compilation of commonly used elixir formulas for the Body Refining Realm.

It contains the recipes for first-grade pills for the Body Refinement Realm that the Ji family has collected over the years.

Ji Daoyi immediately spotted his commonly used pill—the Body Tempering Pill, and the formula was described in great detail.

It not only introduces the time range, heat, and color of each herb after extraction and purification, but also...

After reading the entire pill formula, Ji Daoyi was somewhat surprised. He even thought that the threshold for becoming an alchemist was really low, because he felt that as long as you followed the instructions in the formula, it would be difficult not to succeed.

What he didn't know was that this was the result of countless refining processes by the Ji family, and it didn't mean that other families' pill formulas had such detailed explanations.

Moreover, the content of each prescription is arranged in a similar manner, and the content is concise and practical.

It has all kinds of pill formulas needed for the Body Refinement Realm, including those for breaking through realms, healing, and restoring vital energy.

"Alchemists are indeed the richest group of people. No wonder many powerful alchemists are honored guests of various families."

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that alchemists are practically the second parents of cultivators.

If you are injured, you can seek out an alchemist; if you encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation level, you can seek out an alchemist.

Many cultivators focus on cultivation and don't waste too much time on secondary professions, since everyone's energy and time are limited.

Moreover, not everyone is suited to various side hustles. First, you need to be interested in the side hustle, and second, you need to have talent in it. Otherwise, no matter how much time you invest, it will just be a waste of time.

in the afternoon,

Ji Xiaohu, Ji Zihan, and Sun Puyue arrived at Ji Daoyi's house on time.

"Dao Yi, we're here. What do we do next?"

"Yeah, even though we know we're here for sparring, we have absolutely no idea what we're supposed to do."

"It was pitch black in front of me, and I had no sense of direction at all."

The three of them chattered about their questions.

"Don't worry, I've already thought it through."

"Now I will explain my arrangements."

"Big Yellow, it's my sparring partner. Don't underestimate it. Even now, when I go all out, I can't beat it. It's also an important partner for improving our combat experience."

"The next thing is simple: the three of you will take turns going up for a full-on sparring match with Da Huang. Use all the elemental techniques you've learned, while Da Huang will only use the same power as us. The others who aren't participating will watch the battle, analyze the performance, and think about how best to handle the same problems they encounter in their own battles."

Ji Daoyi quickly finished explaining the purpose of this practical training exercise.

"Does anyone have any questions?" Ji Dao asked, looking at the three of them.

"No more, let's get started! I can't wait!" Ji Xiaohu said excitedly.

"I hope you can still do this after the actual sparring! Big Yellow, start your performance." Ji Dao said to Ji Xiaohu with a mischievous smile, and then let Big Yellow go on stage.

A few minutes later, Ji Xiaohu lay on the ground, utterly dejected, and Da Huang merely gave him a few light "services".

"Aren't you eager to get started?" Ji Daoyi stepped forward and pulled Ji Xiaohu up.

"It's insane! My attack didn't even have a rip-off on it. It just slapped me away. It hurt so much, like all my bones were going to fall apart."

Ji Xiaohu was somewhat down on his luck at this time, and his initial high spirits were nowhere to be seen.

"So, if there's a good project, as your good brother, I have to share it with you, right?" Ji Daoyi recalled those things and then looked at Ji Xiaohu with a mischievous smile.

He went through the same thing, from being beaten up at the beginning to being able to handle it with ease. Although it was painful in the early stages, the results were undeniably very good.

"This isn't sparring, it's practically a one-sided beating," Ji Xiaohu complained.

"Alright, if you don't want to get beaten up, you'd better practice your movement techniques diligently..."

Ji Daoyi spent several tens of minutes not only recounting what his mother had told him, but also sharing some insights he had gained over the past few days.

one week later,

Day after day, the combat skills of Ji Xiaohu and his two companions increased at a visible rate.

Although the three of them were not as good as Ji Daoyi, they were already considered to be battle-hardened compared to their predecessors. Dealing with the original Ji Daoyi was simply like crushing a novice.

"Dao Yi, our strength has improved significantly these past few days, and our Yuan Techniques have all reached the minor completion stage. It's unrealistic to expect to make further breakthroughs in a short time. I think I'll go into seclusion tomorrow to improve my cultivation."

"me too"

"me too"

“Even if you hadn’t brought it up, I would have. There are only a few days left until the selection, and we should strive to improve our cultivation before the grand competition. With our current strength, no one of our peers in the family should be stronger than us,” Ji Daoyi said with a smile.

These past few days, their small team has been changing every day. Every time the two members of the four-person team practice, the other two members watch from the sidelines, and at the end, they summarize each person's strengths and weaknesses, and how to improve.

Through these past few days of actual combat, Xiao Hu and the other two have all reached the minor completion stage in their cultivation techniques, and have even taken a big step forward in that stage.

They are even more skilled in using cultivation techniques than before.

They were all geniuses in the Ji family, and they grasped many things very quickly.

Three cobblers with their wits combined can equal one Zhuge Liang, let alone four geniuses.

In just one week, the fighting styles of the four of them underwent astonishing changes. Ji Xiaohu and the other two even transformed from green novices to mature and experienced fighters.

They might be able to compare to those seasoned veterans, but they are far superior to the vast majority of novices who only have the level of skill but lack practical experience.

Ji Daoyi hadn't forgotten his alchemy studies these past few days, and after many days of hard work, he finally broke through the predicament of the alchemy technique.

It was more of a coincidence than a breakthrough, because he didn't know why he was able to condense the seventh seal. He just kept practicing the alchemy technique repeatedly, and then inexplicably completed the condensation of the twenty-four seals.

Ji Daoyi plans to break through to the Bone Refining Realm before the Grand Competition, and then try alchemy.

He was able to break through to the Bone Refining Realm two days ago, but at that time Ji Xiaohu and the others were in a critical period of improving their combat experience.

He didn't want his selfishness to ruin the actual combat training.

"Let's see who breaks through the barrier first this time."

Wishing us success in our breakthrough!

Wishing us success in our breakthrough!

Wishing us success in our breakthrough!

After Ji Xiaohu and the others left, Ji Daoyi tidied up and prepared to break through to the Bone Refining Realm that night.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
