Translator: 549690339
Feeling the change in his own power, a touch of joy crept onto Lin Yi’s face. He had finally reached the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, the pinnacle of the middle stage in Qi refining. The next step would be to enter the late stage of Qi refining.
Yuan Yuan, who had been trying hard to provide a seductive environment, hurriedly bowed and congratulated, “Congratulations, Immortal Master, on your cultivation breakthrough.” Even though she was not a cultivator herself, she clearly knew what this shift in aura meant.
At first, when this Immortal Master chose her to entice him in the room, aiding him in his cultivation, she thought it was somewhat of a joke. But she later learnt that he was serious, and this breakthrough indicated the real existence of seduction-assisted practice.
Lin Yi just smiled and waved his hand, “Thank you, Lady Yuan Yuan, for assisting me in my cultivation.”
“Immortal Master, there’s no need to be modest. You’ve just broken through, you should grab the opportunity to cultivate and stabilize your cultivation. I’ll continue to provide the enticing environment. This time, I’ll wear a maid’s outfit to serve you better.” Yuan Yuan waved her hand rapidly, took a maid’s costume out of her pack, ready to change into it.
“There’s no need for that now. You’ve been providing seduction for several hours. You must be very tired. You should rest first.” Lin Yi shook his head. After all, he couldn’t treat a dedicated girl like a work animal without a shred of consideration.
At his insistence, Yuan Yuan reclined in front of Lin Yi on a cushion she had set. A seductive pose showed off her long, black silk-clad legs. “Immortal Master, allow me to rest. You can look at me as I sleep, perhaps that might have some seductive effects too.’
Due to several hours of seduction, Yuan Yuan, who was an ordinary mortal, soon fell asleep, emitting soft snores. He smiled, took some clothing out of his bag and covered her with them.
Afterward, Lin Yi replaced the “Color is Void” title with “Little Dog Taste”, as merely appreciating a beauty’s legs could only boost the lowest value to 10%, it was better to have a 20% addition from the latter.
Now that he had broken through to the sixth layer, ordinary cultivation would suffice.
Three days later, he left the cultivation cave mansion. Yuan Yuan had already departed earlier. Gossipy chatter echoed around, criticizing an old lustful cultivator for not cherishing spirit stones and turning the cultivation cave mansion into a smoky mess.
The cave mansion manager, a familiar figure, returned the Cave Mansion
Token. His eyes flashed with spiritual light, and he chuckled: “You rented the cave mansion so many times and only broke through to the Qi Refining Level Four. Your talent is really awful.”
Cultivation would become increasingly difficult. Coupled with his identity as a Spirit Farmer, resources would be scarce making it quite a challenge to reach a state of perfect Qi refinement in his lifetime.
After sending Yuan Yuan back, Lin Yi equipped the title “The Path Lies Beneath Your Feet”, and headed towards the Spiritual Field Planting District.
During this round of cave mansion cultivation, his cultivation level had successfully raised to Qi Refining Sixth Level. Mysterious Light Armor, Wind Law, and Spirit Wood Technique had all upgraded to the Great Achievement Level. Once his cultivation had stabilized, he continued to take advantage of the increase in skill and technique learning speed provided by the titles and kept practicing the Mysterious Light Armor and Wind law.
With the abundant spiritual energy in the cave mansion, he could continuously cast spells, absorbing and refining spiritual energy in lieu of spiritual power. Then, through the effect of enlightenment, he could break through bottlenecks. As a result, his practice of techniques and cultivation methods were carried out alternately.
Still, continuously casting two spells hundreds of times left him exhausted. The Mysterious Light Armor was easy, as it could be activated whether he was standing or sitting. But the Wind Law was different. He had to keep running within the cave mansion to increase his experience, leading to exhaustion in his legs.
In order to achieve the skill upgrade, he had to rent the cave mansion an extra day, moving about within its limited space.
When practicing the Wind Law, he never forgot to equip “The Path Lies Beneath Your Feet”. He continuously ran, aiming to increase the experience points of this title.
During these runs, Lin Yi achieved enlightenment and his understanding of the Wind Law deepened. After reaching Great Achievement, his perception of wind became stronger.
If he had only used the spell without running, it would be a hollow practice, and he would not have acquired such a profound understanding. After all, this was a spell that increased one’s speed, not an attacking spell like the Metal Finger that could be cast directly.
His early-stage Talisman making skills advanced from Great Achievement to Grandmaster Level. Ever since Fairy Song’s seduction led to his Talisman making skills reaching Great Achievement, he had been constantly making
Talismans. The experience required to progress from Great Achievement to Grandmaster was 400 points. This could be achieved without the need to make 400 talismans, thanks to the increase in experience provided by his technique and spell learning speed.
After three days of enticing, Yuan Yuan was completely exhausted. Lin Yi allowed her ample time to rest, but she would only rest for four hours at a time. Even when she was clearly fatigued, she still didn’t want to rest. She suggested that he use the Cloud Rain Technique on her, hoping that the rain would invigorate her.
Her dedication deeply moved him, and he didn’t consider improving the Metal Finger and Cloud Rain technique. After all, with such dedication shown, there had to be some kind of appreciation in return.
After sending Yuan Yuan home, Lin Yi arrived at the Qing Yun City Gate and greeted the two guards with a smile, “Brother Zhang, Brother Wang, are there any corpses to be dealt with today?”
He had come to Qing Yun City a few days ago to inquire about dealing with corpses. After revealing his status as an Outer Sect Disciple, he expressed his timidity and wished to help handle the corpses to teach himself courage.
Upon hearing this request, these guards, who were also Outer Sect Disciples of the Liu Yun Sect, readily agreed without much consideration. They didn’t have to lift corpses and endure their stench. What a good thing to them.
The two guards, upon seeing this, said with a smile, “Junior Brother Lin, we haven’t seen you for several days. We thought you had given up on this job.”
“I’ve been cultivating for the past few days, I’m truly sorry.” Lin Yi greeted them with another bow.
When they heard the word “cultivation,” the two guards instantly activated their Spirit Wood Technique and saw that Lin Yi had broken through to the Qi Refining Level Four, their faces revealed surprise, “Oh, congratulations Junior
Brother Lin, no, we should call you Brother Lin now.”
Then, they bowed to Lin Yi to express their congratulations. The title they used had changed from Junior Brother to Brother, as they, just like Lin Yi before this, were all at Qi Refining Three Layers.
“Thank you, it was a fortunate breakthrough.” Lin Yi gave his thanks and waved his hand.
“There were murders in the city today. Two cultivators died. Brother Li and his team just brought the corpses here. The deaths seem particularly gruesome. They didn’t even allow us, to look. The bodies are at the usual place outside the city. You might still be able to catch up if you hurry.” the two guards told Lin Yi.
Lin Yi nodded his head and walked out of the city gate, heading towards the pit where they dumped the bodies. After crossing a grove of trees, a stench wafted over. Before his eyes was a naturally formed large pit. A few cultivators, dressed in green, were standing in front of a horse carriage, seemingly undecided.
Usually, it took two small guards at the Qi Refining Three Layers stage to handle corpses. But this time, there were four of them, and the two leading were actually at Qi Refining Fifth Level.
“Brother Li, why did you personally come today?” He walked over slowly and greeted them with a bow.
The two cultivators turned their heads and gestured, “Junior Brother Lin, stop. We will handle the corpses today. You don’t need to come over. Head back quickly.”
“Alright, then I will take my leave.” Without hesitation, Lin Yi turned around and left, but he had a nagging feeling that something was out of place.
After thinking, he circled around the woods and climbed a small hill across the pit. Using the Spirit Wood Technique, he clearly saw the scene not far away. He was now carrying two titles that would allow him to make a quick getaway at any
With the Spirit Wood Technique he had practiced to a Great Achievement Level in his cave mansion, he could see even further.
The two cultivators at the Qi Refining Fifth Level just used their Spiritual Power to overturn the carriage, letting the corpses fall into the pit. They didn’t dare to touch them, which showed how special these two corpses were.
After the bodies fell from the carriage into the pit, Lin Yi saw the faces of the two corpses. His face immediately changed. The corpses turned green with faces full of fear. It seemed like there were black handprints on their faces, and it looked as if they died of fright. It was very strange.
Then, he saw several cultivators starting to use talisman templates. One of the bodies even used two Rebirth Charms. Judging from the spiritual light they emitted, they were of medium quality. Previously, they would only use a low-quality one.
However, after the cultivators in green used the Rebirth Charm, under his Spirit Wood Technique, he found that there was no black smoke emerging from the corpse.
Normally, those who died unexpectedly would harbor extreme resentment.
Under the effect of the Rebirth Charm, more or less black smoke would emerge. This was the experience he gained from handling corpses previously.
If it didn’t appear now, there could be only two possibilities: first, the spirits of the two corpses had been transcended beforehand, or second, they had turned into evil spirits.
Lin Yi’s face turned grim and he didn’t continue to watch. He slowly left the hill, then activated the Wind Law and returned to Qing Yun City.
His first stop was at a talisman shop where he sold the remaining talismans he owned. Then he took out most of the spirit stones from his Storage Symbol and bought one thousand talisman making materials.
Then he went to another talisman shop and used the remaining spirit stones to buy special materials required to produce Exorcism Charms and Rebirth
Charms..
