Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Breaking Through to the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement

Although the reward of keeping 10% of the gain seemed to be very little,

In fact, the Ganyang Sect was already very kind.

Many sects like the Ganyang Sect would not allow you to keep anything at all.

At most, they would give you some spirit stones or basic pills.

Moreover, with the influence of the Ganyang Sect in the Ganyang Mountain Range, if they wanted you to enter the ruin, you could not say no.

Moreover, according to the latest news, there were already Qi Refinement cultivators who used the treasures they obtained from the ruin to successfully exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill from the Ganyang Sect.

Wasn’t the ultimate goal of these independant cultivators at the Refinement Stage to fight to the death for that trace of hope of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm?

Therefore.

At this moment, Xu Haichuan and his wife were really trying their best to persuade Jiang Chengxuan to go to the ruin with them to explore.

However, all this was not attractive to Jiang Chengxuan at all.

Now, he had already obtained a chance to successfully break through from the system.

As long as his cultivation broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm was just a piece of cake.

Why would he take such a huge risk to go to the so-called ruin?

Moreover, in Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes, no matter how tempting the ruin was, they, the lowest-ranking Qi Refinement cultivators, could not escape the fate of becoming cannon fodder.

Even if you really had heaven-defying luck and obtained some extraordinary treasure in that ruin, in the end, that treasure might not belong to you.

The Ganyang Sect would definitely not let the real treasure in the ruin fall into the hands of low-level independant cultivators like them.

It was very likely that they would be killed because of this.

Therefore.

At this moment, no matter what Xu Haichuan and his wife said, Jiang Chengxuan was not tempted.

Helpless, Xu Haichuan and his wife could only leave regretfully.

“Husband, Jiang Chengxuan is stubborn and refuses to explore that ruin with us. What should we do now?”

Outside Jiang Chengxuan’s cave abode, Mei Hongyan turned to look at her husband, Xu Haichuan, with a slightly unhappy expression.

Xu Haichuan sighed helplessly and shook his head.

“Since Fellow Daoist Jiang doesn’t want to go with us, then forget it.

But next, we have to find someone else.

After all, just you and me going to that ruin is not enough.”

As the couple spoke, they walked in another direction of the market.

After sending Xu Haichuan and his wife off, a system notification suddenly sounded in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind.

[Ding! Announcement of the next achievement mission. Host, please complete a hundred circulations.]

[Note: Previous circulations are not included in this mission.]

That made sense.

He had cultivated for well over a hundred years. If previous circulations were included, he would have done it more than 300 times.

The system obviously wouldn’t make such an obvious mistake.

However, speaking of which, the mission issued by the system happened to meet his current needs.

He could use this opportunity to enter seclusion and cultivate.

He wanted to raise his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

However, before that, he had to prepare and buy a pill for him to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

In the Cloud Pavilion.

This was considered the largest shop in the Ganyang Market that sold pills and artifacts.

It was said that the owner of it was the Ganyang Sect.

Although the things sold here were not cheap, because they were of good quality, many family cultivators and independant cultivators liked to come here to buy things.

When Jiang Chengxuan arrived, he realized that there were especially many people in the Cloud Pavilion today.

With a cursory glance, he realized that most of the people here were independent cultivators like him.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chengxuan roughly understood what was going on.

It should be related to that ruin.

Everyone must be thinking of buying as many life-saving tools as possible before entering the ruin to explore.

“Fellow Daoist, are you here to buy artifacts or talismans?”

At this moment, a sweet-looking female cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refinement suddenly approached Jiang Chengxuan.

From the clothes she was wearing, it was obvious that she was from the Cloud Pavilion.

Jiang Chengxuan shook his head and told this female cultivator what he needed.

When the female cultivator heard it, she immediately brought him to the area where pills were sold. Then, she took out a jade bottle and handed it to Jiang Chengxuan with a smile.

“Fellow Daoist, this is the Spirit Cleansing Pill you are looking for. It can help a late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator break through. This will cost 100 spirit stones.”

Jiang Chengxuan took the jade bottle and opened it to take a look.

He realized that the quality of this Spirit Cleansing Pill was indeed not bad.

Over the years, Jiang Chengxuan had acc.u.mulated some money.

Although it was by no means a lot, spending a hundred spirit stones to buy a Spirit Cleansing Pill was not a problem for him.

Soon, Jiang Chengxuan paid the spirit stones.

When he returned to his cave abode, he began his seclusion.

Going from the eighth to the ninth level of Qi Refinement Realm was actually a process of acc.u.mulation and refining.

As long as you acc.u.mulated a certain amount of True Essence in your body, you could try to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

As for refining, it could make your True Essence more condensed.

However, it took a lot of time to acc.u.mulate and refine the True Essence in his body to the point where he could break through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refinement with True Spiritual roots would take a total of eight to fifteen years.

Given that Jiang Chengxuan only had False Spiritual Roots, it would undoubtedly take him a longer time.

Fortunately, Jiang Chengxuan had stagnated in this realm for a long time.

His acc.u.mulation was basically enough.

Coupled with the Spirit Cleansing Pill, he was confident that his breakthrough would go smoothly.

Soon.

Jiang Chengxuan had adjusted himself to the optimal state.

When he took out the Spirit Cleansing Pill he bought, the amount of True Essence in his body suddenly soared.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan quickly circulated the Origin Returning Technique he had cultivated and began to circulate it over and over again.

Just like that, half a month later, Jiang Chengxuan, who was immersed in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes.

A smile appeared on his face.

The ninth level of Qi Refinement was finally achieved.

At this moment, the amount of True Essence in his body was almost 40% more than before.

His strength had also increased significantly.

He looked at the number in his retina.

[Progress of the mission: 15%]
