Chapter 5: Qi Refining Great Perfection

Chapter 5 Qi Refining Great Perfection

Zhang Yuhe ate roasted meat while watching the players joke and chat idly on the chat channel.

Seeing the miserable appearance of others, he instantly felt that the roasted meat in his hands smelled even more fragrant.

To be honest, his preparation was still not sufficient.

It seemed that besides psychological preparation, he had nothing else. Having resigned a month in advance, he actually only prepared a single knife.

Of course, making any more preparations wouldn't actually be of much use.

After all, everyone was contacting Yu Fantian for the first time, and the information provided on the website was truly limited.

For example, those big shots who brought firearms in turned out worse off than him.

The firearms wouldn't fire, and they were not even as useful as a firewood stick.

His long blade could at least hack monsters and slice meat; it was simple and practical.

Zhang Yuhe felt that this long blade lived up to those fifty thousand Blue Coins.

"Continue to cultivation."

After finishing the roasted meat, Zhang Yuhe did not waste a single bit of time and directly sat cross-legged.

As his cultivation technique operated, the surrounding Spiritual Qi slowly converged toward him.

Right now he only wanted to cultivation and completely did not want to consider other issues.

For instance, as some players said, would there be ghosts at night?

After all, this was an immortal cultivation world, so having ghosts and monsters seemed to be a normal matter.

Especially since they were all currently in the wilderness, this possibility was indeed quite large.

There were also some players worried whether they would be carried away by wild monsters at night.

Actually, in Zhang Yuhe's view, thinking too much about these issues was useless; he would deal with them when he encountered them.

...

The next day, Zhang Yuhe woke up from Cultivation, and by this time the sun was already high in the sky.

The night had been safe and sound, and moreover he had leveled up again; he was now at the fifth layer of Qi Refining cultivation.

"It's getting slower and slower, leveling up only once a night."

Zhang Yuhe silently complained about his Cultivation speed.

If others knew his thoughts, they would definitely rush over and hack him to death.

In fact, Cultivation was inherently a slow matter.

Normally speaking, a High-Grade Spiritual Root took about ten days to go from a mortal to the first layer of Qi Refining, and depending on the degree of diligence, there would be quite a bit of difference.

As for a Middle Grade Spiritual Root wanting to enter the first layer of Qi Refining, it would take at least a month.

As for a Low-Grade Spiritual Root, that would depend on fate; if luck was good, three to five months could enter the first layer of Qi Refining.

If luck was bad and Cultivation was not diligent enough, after two or three years, he might still be a mere mortal.

Zhang Yuhe only spent one day to cultivation to the fifth layer of Qi Refining, which had definitely broken Yu Fantian's Cultivation record.

Who told his talent to be so monstrous.

...

Time slowly passed, and Zhang Yuhe stayed in the Taoist temple to cultivation, going out to hunt some game whenever he was hungry.

He discovered that the probability of food dropping was extremely high; on average, for every two Demonic Beasts he hacked to death, a portion of food would drop.

Basically, they were all various kinds of roasted meat, and occasionally some dry rations or the like would drop.

As for the cultivation technique Secret Manuals, Magical Artifacts, Dharma Treasures, or the like that he anticipated, he had completely never seen them.

Fortunately, the drop rate of Spirit Stones was not low. Through foraging these past few days, he had already picked up a dozen or so Spirit Stones.

He didn't know if it was related to the luck attribute; almost every time Zhang Yuhe killed a Demonic Beast, a Spirit Stone would drop.

These days, besides sleeping, it was just Cultivating and hacking monsters.

...

A month later, Zhang Yuhe woke up from Cultivation, and a formidable aura spread outward from his body.

"Finally reached the Qi Refining Great Perfection, it's time to go out and take a look."

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue to cultivation, but rather that he could no longer cultivation further.

Because he didn't have a cultivation technique, the Qi Drawing Formula given by the System could only cultivation to Qi Refining Perfection.

Wanting to continue to cultivation, he had to find a more Advanced cultivation technique.

Originally he had still thought of Cultivating while fighting monsters to see if a suitable cultivation technique Secret Manual could drop.

However, he was thinking too much; cultivation techniques were not that easy to drop.

To obtain a cultivation technique, the best way was still to start from the natives.

Either buy it or choose to join a native faction.

Over this past month, Zhang Yuhe paid attention to the information on the chat channel every day.

Although most players either perished under Demonic Beasts or couldn't withstand various difficulties and chose to log off,

there was still a small portion of players who were still persisting.

Moreover, there were also individual lucky players who had already walked out of the wilderness and found the native city of Yu Fantian.

According to the descriptions of those players, the native factions in the city included Families and Gangs, and most of these native factions would recruit personnel.

Of course, joining a native faction required signing a contract.

As long as they had Spiritual Root Aptitude, even if they hadn't reached the Qi Refining stage and weren't true Cultivators, they would still recruit them.

Once joining a native faction, they would not only be given cultivation technique Secret Manuals, but there would also be a salary to collect.

As for what kind of cultivation technique would be given and how much salary could be obtained, that would depend on personal strength and the strength or weakness of the native faction.

If one didn't want to join a native faction, it didn't matter; there were places selling cultivation techniques in the city.

As long as Spirit Stones were sufficient, cultivation technique Secret Manuals, Magical Artifacts, and Dharma Treasures were not a problem.

Zhang Yuhe planned to find the native city first, and then slowly get subsequent cultivation techniques.

Hiding and Cultivating in the wilderness all the time had no future.

...

Zhang Yuhe came to the entrance of the Taoist temple, and the long blade in his hand swung out into thin air.

As the blade light flashed, a large tree five meters away collapsed in response.

Seeing this kind of effect, he couldn't help but nod silently.

The strength of Qi Refining Great Perfection was not considered weak, right? Even if he didn't know spells or Divine Abilities and relied only on brute force, he should still be able to establish a foothold in a small place.

"Let's go."

Zhang Yuhe selected a direction and quickly leaped forward.

There was no way around it; he couldn't fly yet and could only jump forward on the ground.

With his strength at this moment, a single jump could cover a dozen or so meters.

If he went to participate in the Olympic Games, Bolt wouldn't even be able to see his back figure.

Zhang Yuhe rampaged recklessly through the mountain forest, completely not caring whether there were Demonic Beasts or not.

He had scouted all the Demonic Beasts in this mountain forest; they weren't considered too strong. Having strength meant one could do whatever one pleased.

Rampaging all the way, whenever he encountered Demonic Beasts on the road, he casually wiped them out.

He picked up the dropped Spirit Stones; as for the roasted meat, forget it, he was already a bit tired of eating it.

Roar...

Just as he was running and jumping, suddenly a heaven-shaking beast roar came from afar.

"It seems there's a big guy, let's go over and take a look."

Zhang Yuhe quickly turned around and ran toward the direction where the sound came from.

Since he encountered a Demonic Beast, naturally he had to go over and hack it. Aside from anything else, even if just one Spirit Stone dropped, that would do.

Before long, he saw the Demonic Beast that had just emitted the roar.

However, it was not one, but two Demonic Beasts battling fiercely together.

One was a mottled giant tiger, and the other was a green ox with a bulk even larger than an elephant.

Every time the giant tiger roared, it would spit out streams of light, just like intangible long blades, continuously slashing toward the green ox.

Although the green ox looked thick-skinned and fleshy, it was still slashed with massive gashes.

The green ox was not weak either; its horns flashed with yellow light, and whenever the light flashed, earth spikes would emerge from the ground to pierce toward the giant tiger.

"Can both of these Demonic Beasts use spells?"

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but be greatly shocked.

Previously he had killed quite a few Demonic Beasts, but he hadn't encountered any that could use spells. Those Demonic Beasts were just like him, only relying on brute force.

These two Demonic Beasts, at a glance, were known to be quite extraordinary.

Zhang Yuhe silently sensed the aura of the green ox and the giant tiger.

"Both are Tier 1 Peak Demonic Beasts, just a little short of breaking through to Tier 2."

Looking at the two Demonic Beasts in front of him, Zhang Yuhe hesitated somewhat.

These two Demonic Beasts seemed a bit fierce; he might not necessarily be able to beat them.
