Chapter 23 The second level of Qi training "Okay, okay, my Ye family has a genius like you, so why should we worry about the Ye family not prospering in the future?" Old Man Ye was extremely excited. He took Ye Linyuan's hand and said, "What do you need? As long as I can do it, I will get it all for you." Ye Linyuan smiled, but said calmly: "No hurry, our top priority is to practice. The spiritual plants I bought this time are enough to keep me busy for a year or two." Upon hearing this, Old Man Ye nodded slightly, but he also realized that he was acting too hastily. So he patted Ye Linyuan on the shoulder, and then said: "Don't worry about the matter of the spiritual eye. I will let Linze and the others swear an oath to ensure that this matter will not be spread out." Ye Linyuan nodded, not really having anything to worry about. The several cultivators of the Ye family are blood relatives for three generations and are tied to the same rope. It is unreasonable and moral for them to leak this news. Moreover, giving up the mountain top spiritual eye would also be a good thing for Ye Huaixue and Ye Linze. Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan immediately bowed and said, "In that case, then my grandson will go back to practice." "..."
After bidding farewell to Old Man Ye, Ye Linyuan returned to the valley and began his leisurely life of cultivation again. In the following period of time, he refined the spiritual energy of the cave's spiritual eye step by step every day, and took spiritual rice to improve his cultivation. The speed of his cultivation improvement was obviously greatly improved. Time flies so fast, and three months have passed before I knew it. During these three months, Ye Linyuan's cultivation made great progress in the first month, increasing by more than 150 strands of true Qi. Combined with the practice in the previous month, he had accumulated nearly 300 strands of true Qi. But a month later, as the chalcedony rice was exhausted, Ye Linyuan's cultivation suddenly slowed down. Relying solely on his own hard work, he could only increase his magic power by sixty strands a month. It took him two full months to completely complete the first level of Qi training. The so-called perfection of one level of Qi training refers to the cultivation of a complete line of true Qi. This stream of true Qi is composed of 365 strands of true Qi, which can fill the meridians in the cultivator's body, connecting from beginning to end to form a complete cycle, so it is called a stream of true Qi. Ye Linyuan practiced Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong. When he was at the first level of Qi training, the upper limit of his mana was 10% higher than that of ordinary skills. Therefore, he needed to accumulate nearly 400 mana to reach the perfection of the first level of Qi training. If not for this, Ye Linyuan could have reached the first level of Qi Refining half a month earlier. There is no bottleneck in the small realm. After reaching perfection in the first level of Qi training, Ye Linyuan broke through to the second level of Qi training. Ye Linyuan sensed his own strength and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. After breaking through the second level of Qi training, his meridians became wider, his true Qi became more powerful, and his strength was greatly improved compared to the first level of Qi training. Although he could only activate the Spiritual Rain Technique once, its power had increased significantly. The coverage area of the spiritual rain had doubled, from only being able to cover one acre of spiritual field to three acres of spiritual field. Because of the improvement of true Qi, the power of soul-nourishing technique, ripening method and Gengjin needle has also improved to a certain extent. In addition, as his realm improved, the effect of the Bright Moon Over the Sea became more and more prominent. Originally, it could only increase the upper limit of his Qi by 10%, but now it can increase the upper limit by 20%. According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, when his cultivation level is raised to the ninth level of Qi training, the upper limit of his Qi should be able to increase by 90% under the amplification of the Bright Moon Over the Sea. By that time, relying on his own strong true Qi, his endurance will far exceed that of ordinary Qi-cultivating monks, and his recovery and fighting abilities will also be improved. "Now, if I use the Gengjin Needle, a shortcut magic, to fight the enemy, I should be able to rival a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training. My sneak attacks can pose a considerable threat to cultivators at the late stage of Qi training." Ye Linyuan estimated his own strength and couldn't help but feel slightly certain in his heart.
Although his current cultivation level is low, the improvement brought about by each breakthrough will be enormous. Combined with the golden needle technique at the near-level, he should be able to protect himself in the seven islands of Star Lake. Of course, the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong can increase the upper limit of true Qi, which is a huge advantage as well as a huge weakness. Because the true Qi of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong is too thick, the speed of practice will also be slow. If one wants to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi training through Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, one needs to consume twice as many resources as others, and also slow down the cultivation speed by twice as much. After reaching the foundation-building stage, the true Qi of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong starts to be several times that of the cultivators of the same level. When it is cultivated to a high level, the true Qi is as vast as the ocean, and is almost inexhaustible. This results in the practice of Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong becoming increasingly difficult in the later stages, requiring more time and resources to achieve a breakthrough. If it weren't for the help of the magical soul refining technique, which could greatly increase the speed of cultivation, Ye Linyuan might not have dared to take the risk of practicing this ancient miraculous skill. "In my previous life, I had an extraordinary talent for spiritual plants. In this life, I mainly cultivate water spiritual roots, and with the assistance of gold and wood spiritual roots, I will definitely be able to solve the problem of insufficient cultivation resources." Ye Linyuan pondered in his mind, and after hesitating for a while, he began to practice the Turtle Breathing Technique. The Turtle Breathing Technique is a breath-concealing spell without rank, which is also divided into four levels: initial glimpse, Hinayana, Mahayana, and near path. Among them, the Turtle Breathing Technique at the initial level can restrain 50% of one's own true Qi. However, because this level is too shallow, it can only deceive cultivators of the same level and can be easily seen through by others. The Hinayana level is already considered strong, and can conceal 80% to 90% of its own aura and deceive cultivators who are two small realms higher than itself. If one can cultivate to the great success level, he will be able to control his own aura at will, and even completely hide his own cultivation, thereby deceiving the perception of cultivators who are at a higher realm than himself. As for the near-level Turtle Breathing Technique, even Ye Linyuan in his previous life had never mastered it, so he didn't know how mysterious it was. In his previous life, Ye Linyuan had cultivated the Turtle Breathing Technique to the Mahayana realm, and in this life he also completed the practice of the Turtle Breathing Technique early on. At this time, Ye Linyuan used the Mahayana Turtle Breathing Technique to conceal his own aura and hid his cultivation level at the first level of Qi training. The reason he did this was because his cultivation level improved too quickly. It has only been over four months since he broke through to the Qi training stage. If he broke through to the second level of Qi training in such a short time, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble if others noticed it. After all, for ordinary Qi training practitioners, without the help of resources such as spiritual rice, it usually takes one or two years to break through the second level of Qi training relying only on miscellaneous spiritual rice and spiritual eyes. Ye Linyuan planned to wait for another half a year before informing Old Man Ye of his breakthrough. As for other people, there was no need for them to know. (End of this chapter)
