Chapter 44 is underneath.
"Calm your mind and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine your physical body and temper your meridians. Compress the spiritual energy accumulated in your body to the extreme and gather it into your dantian."
Inside the pavilion, three figures stood.
Xu Nian sat cross-legged on the futon.
Third Senior Sister Fu Qiuyu offered guidance from the side.
Wu Qinghuan was eating sweet potatoes.
Huh? Why is Wu Qinghuan eating sweet potatoes?
Because he broke through to the Body Tempering stage at a young age and advanced to the Qi Refining stage early on.
I've already reached the first level of Qi Refining.
Before long, I will reach the second level of Qi Refining.
Xu Nian, on the other hand, was about to be promoted.
Now is the time for Xu Nian to try for a promotion.
Although the third senior sister trusted her junior brother a lot, she was still a little nervous at this crucial moment.
Naturally, he didn't notice that his sweet potato had been snatched away by Wu Qinghuan.
Don't say it, really don't say it.
The taste is pretty good.
Wu Qinghuan hugged her shoulders, her petite body leaning against a pillar in the pavilion.
They nibbled on the sweet potato, chewing slowly.
He nodded in satisfaction, thinking that he would steal a few more when he had the chance in the future.
What? You mean why didn't you ask your senior sister for it?
Of course she wouldn't give it to her; her senior sister is a miser.
"Don't be too anxious. Clear your mind and focus all your attention on the promotion," the third senior sister advised.
In fact, Wu Qinghuan was more confident than Fu Qiuyu about Xu Nian's promotion.
I've broken through my own limitations.
As a senior brother, he can't be inferior to a junior brother, can he?
Breakthroughs are quite normal.
There's no need to worry.
So Wu Qinghuan didn't care at all.
Soon, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed.
The blue vortex in the pavilion grew increasingly violent, and the blue energy swirled around Xu Nian's body, which he absorbed rapidly.
The pale blue aura continued to appear, growing increasingly dense.
It was even bigger than when Wu Qinghuan broke through.
"This kid's energy channels are quite wide," Fu Qiuyu said with some surprise.
A person transitions from the Body Tempering stage to the Qi Refining stage.
The longer it is used.
This means that the wider the energy channels, the more spiritual energy can be accumulated.
In this way, one's combat power will be stronger after entering the Qi Refining stage.
They are both at the Qi Refining stage, but their strengths are quite different.
Even if two cultivators at the peak of the Qi Refining stage clash, it's not necessarily a draw.
It depends on the techniques they have mastered and the amount of spiritual power they possess.
Someone like Xu Nian clearly possesses considerable spiritual power.
As long as one works steadily and diligently, and reaches the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage, one's combat strength will be comparable to that of a cultivator who has just entered the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Indeed." Wu Qinghuan nodded, giving a fair affirmation.
The third senior sister's attention was always on her junior brother.
Completely unaware that his sweet potatoes had already been almost entirely eaten by another junior brother.
"The longer it takes to break through, the more spiritual energy will be accumulated. I wonder how long it will take Junior Brother Xu Nian."
The current limitations on the realm have been broken.
The reason why Xu Nian has not yet emerged from the promotion state is mainly because he is accumulating spiritual power.
To put it bluntly, the most dangerous part has been perfectly completed.
There's no need to worry about it anymore.
It takes most cultivators about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to break through from the Body Tempering stage to the Qi Refining stage.
If they are ordinary disciples with poor natural talent and physical aptitude.
It may take less time.
Once they break free from their shackles, they can step into a new realm and emerge from the state of breakthrough.
But the better one's natural talent, the more energy one needs to accumulate.
The more time it takes, the more time it will naturally take.
"Qinghuan, how long did it take you to break through last time?" Fu Qiuyu suddenly asked.
His gaze fell on Wu Qinghuan.
Meanwhile, Wu Qinghuan had finished eating the sweet potato and was gently wiping her mouth.
After seemingly thinking for a moment, he replied, "Half an hour."
“You took half an hour, so Xiao Nian should have taken about the same amount of time.”
Indeed, Fu Qiuyu is my senior.
There's nothing wrong with calling Xu Nian Xiao Nian.
But Wu Qinghuan felt something was off about it.
That arrogant senior brother who always flaunted his power in front of me.
In the mouth of the third senior sister, it became Xiao Nian.
Like a child who hasn't grown up.
Wu Qinghuan's lips curled up, as if she wanted to laugh.
At this moment, the spiritual energy within the pavilion suddenly surged even more violently.
The vortex at the center is expanding.
The energy from the mountain peaks roared towards the pavilion.
It was all poured into Xu Nian's body.
"This kid! He actually managed to cause such an exaggerated phenomenon!" Fu Qiuyu was shocked.
She knew that her two junior brothers were both exceptionally talented.
But I never expected that just breaking through to the Qi Refining stage would cause such a huge scene.
If this is someone at the peak of Qi Refining who is about to enter the Foundation Establishment stage.
Will it cause a sensation at Xiaoyao Peak?
hum!hum!hum!
The vast spiritual energy, like smoke, rushed towards Xu Nian's body.
At this moment, the junior brother was like a sponge, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"This kid is using spiritual power to continue tempering his body, while simultaneously opening up his meridians and accumulating energy."
Fu Qiuyu squinted, finally noticing something amiss.
I admire it in my heart.
They were even more surprised.
Such a method is extremely dangerous for most cultivators.
Therefore, few elders teach their disciples.
To be on the safe side, I didn't teach my junior brother this method.
How did he learn it?
Could it be that he figured it out on his own?
This is not impossible.
Such a prodigy should not be viewed the same way as other disciples.
Geniuses have their own methods of self-cultivation.
That is how it is now.
Another half hour passed, and the blue vortex in the pavilion finally began to weaken.
The rotation speed gradually slowed down.
The amount of energy available also gradually decreases.
Fu Qiuyu was still observing carefully from the side, worried about her junior brother.
Wu Qinghuan, on the other hand, sat on a stool, waiting for her legs to straighten.
She propped her legs up with her arms and supported her chin with her little hands.
He looked at Xu Nian with some boredom.
Bored.
He even yawned a few times.
Tears streamed down my face.
You can imagine how bored he must have been.
Another incense stick's time passed, and the blue vortex completely disappeared.
Xu Nian's breathing began to stabilize.
His breathing was long and rhythmic.
"call…"
Xu Nian let out a long breath and slowly opened her eyes.
His eyes sparkled.
He looked radiant.
Fu Qiuyu laughed and said, "Not bad, you've reached the second level of Qi Refining in one go, finally catching up with Xiao Qinghuan."
Xu Nian's expression fell.
The praise at the beginning was good, but the last sentence was unnecessary.
What does it mean to finally catch up with Xiao Qinghuan?
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was their senior.
Wu Qinghuan smiled, pursing her lips. "Senior brother is really amazing. You've finally caught up with Qinghuan."
Xu Nian glanced at him.
It's a bit like spanking him.
But the thought of Wu Qinghuan's cunning revenge after being beaten made him shudder.
Forget it, forget it.
I'll let it slide this time! I won't hold it against you!
"Qinghuan needs to work harder. It seems you're still a bit far from reaching the second level of Qi Refining?"
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother, but Qinghuan already broke through this morning."
Hmm? You've already broken through?
Xu Nian was somewhat disappointed.
Originally, this kid advanced before me and entered the Qi Refining stage much earlier.
The speed of cultivation is very fast.
Even after reaching the Qi Refining stage, he continued to improve rapidly and was about to reach the second level of Qi Refining.
So he quickened his pace and increased his cultivation speed.
He wanted to be promoted today, hoping to rush to the second level in one go and surpass him.
Press him down from behind.
Unexpectedly, to my utter surprise, it still fell short by a little.
This brat broke through this morning ahead of schedule.
What a thief!
Xu Nian looked at Wu Qinghuan, whose lips were curled up and whose eyes were smiling.
I know that my stinky junior brother is absolutely smug right now.
"You just wait, I'll definitely pin you down someday!"
“Okay, I…” Wu Qinghuan was about to agree when she suddenly realized that something was wrong with her words.
She gave her senior brother a gentle glare.
She pursed her lips and didn't speak, as if she hadn't heard him.
Pooh!
Rogue senior brother!
