Whoosh…
The strong wind, carrying chaotic snow, continuously lashed at He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng was only wearing a thin layer of clothing, yet he felt nothing of the freezing weather.
They all say that the Qi Refinement Stage Early Stage is no different from a Mortal, but that’s not true.
Entering the Qi Refinement Stage makes a huge difference from ordinary people.
For example, one is not afraid of severe cold, will not easily suffer from hunger or cold, and is not prone to illness, and so on.
“Rise…”
On the hillside, He Pingsheng often leaped up, able to jump several zhang high.
So, even in snowy weather, climbing the mountain was still like walking on flat ground.
Let’s put it this way, if he were to be asked to carry water on Xiuzhu Peak again at this moment, twenty trips a day, he could finish it in at most an hour.
The difference is that great.
A pot of spirits, several stacks of paper money!
Three sticks of incense!
After offering sacrifices to his parents and Senior Brother Hao Yun, He Pingsheng leisurely walked down the mountain.
He did not return directly to his small courtyard but walked towards the tall Great Hall on the other side of the river.
Outer Gate Great Hall.
Although it was snowy, people came and went in an endless stream here, and no one really paid attention to He Pingsheng’s Cultivation.
He Pingsheng slowly walked into the Great Hall and looked around.
On the screen to the left, a striking piece of information flickered in his pupils.
“Xiuzhu Peak Pill Room needs one Pill Attendant, Cultivation level not restricted, 200 contribution points per month. Everyone, don’t worry, there will definitely be no bullying of Pill Attendants!”
He Pingsheng’s brows furrowed slightly.
Good heavens, Xiuzhu Peak still hasn’t found a Pill Attendant?
Thinking about it, it made sense.
The Tai Xu Sect is very large, yet not large; whatever happens on any peak quickly spreads to the Outer Sect side.
Hao Yun’s tragic death would certainly serve as a warning to countless Outer Sect Disciples.
Compared to one’s life, what are these mere two hundred contribution points?
Of course, judging from the remarks behind that message, Xiuzhu Peak had not found a Pill Attendant for more than half a year, and they were probably truly anxious now.
Heh heh…
He Pingsheng smiled coldly, left the Formation light membrane on the left, and came to the counter in the middle of the Great Hall.
There were more than a dozen people handling miscellaneous affairs for Outer Sect Disciples; He Pingsheng did not look for the one from last time but went to a different spot.
“Senior Brother… I want to buy some Spirit Rice!”
He Pingsheng no longer wanted to eat ordinary rice.
Spirit Rice is of great benefit to a Cultivator’s Cultivation.
“Alright!” The Cultivator took He Pingsheng’s card and looked at it, saying, “What kind of Spirit Rice does this Junior Brother want to buy? There are High Grade, Medium Grade, and Low Grade three types!”
He Pingsheng didn’t even think and said, “Still Low Grade!”
He had no need to buy High Grade quality.
Because of the existence of the gathering treasure basin, no matter what quality it is, putting it inside can turn it into top-grade.
“Oh…” The Cultivator said, “Low Grade Spirit Rice, one contribution point per jin, how much do you need?”
He Pingsheng said, “Two hundred jin to start!”
Two hundred jin is two hundred points!
This stuff was much more expensive than ordinary rice.
Ordinary rice, two hundred jin, was only two or three contribution points.
“Alright!” The Cultivator handed He Pingsheng a pickup slip and said, “Take this slip to the warehouse to pick up the Spirit Rice!”
“Thank you!” He Pingsheng politely took the slip.
The Disciple said, “Junior Brother is already at Qi Refining Stage Third Level, right? Actually, you can consider doing some tasks at Split Water Mountain. If you catch Spirit Beasts or gather Spiritual Plants, you can bring them back to the Sect to exchange for contribution points!”
“Now that heavy snow has sealed the mountains, many Spirit Beasts have nowhere to hide, making it a good time to capture Spirit Beasts!”
“Nod… There are relevant tasks on the Formation over there!”
That person pointed to the Formation sign.
He Pingsheng said, “Alright, Senior Brother!”
After leaving the counter, picking up the Spirit Rice, He Pingsheng bought some everyday small items, and then directly returned to his small courtyard.
Doing tasks?
I still have so many contribution points, why do tasks?
Isn’t Cultivating more enjoyable?
Let’s raise my Cultivation first.
He Pingsheng decided that this time, he would directly Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Stage Fourth Level during his seclusion.
He would not emerge until he reached the Fourth Level.
Just now in the Outer Gate Great Hall, the reason why that Cultivator could instantly see that He Pingsheng was at the Qi Refining Stage Third Level was because his Divine Thought could be released, sweeping out with a thought, leaving nothing hidden.
But He Pingsheng could not.
Because to release Divine Thought, one’s Cultivation must Breakthrough from the Qi Refining Stage Early Stage to the Qi Refining Stage Middle Stage.
That is to say, the Fourth Level.
Qi Refining Stage, First, Second, and Third Levels are called Early Stage.
Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Levels are called Middle Stage.
Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Levels are called Late Stage.
And the Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Levels are called Perfection Stage.
So, to release Divine Thought, one must at least reach the Fourth Level.
Moreover, after Divine Thought can be released, besides being able to use Divine Thought to scan the surroundings and others’ Cultivation, there is another huge benefit: Cultivating Spells.
Only after Divine Thought can be released can one Cultivate various Spells.
Bang…
After returning home, he closed the door!
He Pingsheng again tightly sealed the cracks in his door to prevent any Qi from leaking out.
Then he continued with his Cultivation.
He took out two jade bottles.
In one jade bottle, there were 12 Medicinal Pills, and in the other jade bottle, there were only three Medicinal Pills.
A total of fifteen Medicinal Pills.
That is to say, previously, when he Breakthrough from Qi Refining Stage First Level to Qi Refining Stage Third Level, he consumed a total of 9 Medicinal Pills.
“I hope these fifteen Medicinal Pills can allow me to Breakthrough my Cultivation to the Fourth Level!”
He Pingsheng took a deep breath, then directly took out a Medicinal Pill and swallowed it.
That’s right!
As his Cultivation improved, his speed of refining Spiritual Qi also increased significantly, and he no longer needed to crush the Medicinal Pills and use water to aid absorption as he did when he first started Cultivating.
Boom…
A whole Medicinal Pill entered his stomach, and countless pure energy surged from the Medicinal Pill, flowing towards his Meridians.
Swallowing Medicinal Pills for Cultivation also had a difference from introducing Qi into the body.
That is, when introducing Qi into the body, there are Five Elements of Spiritual Qi: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which can only enter the body after being filtered and screened.
However, the Spiritual Qi within these Medicinal Pills does not distinguish between Five Elements attributes; it is the purest energy, and after being refined by the Meridians, it automatically transforms into the corresponding attribute of Spiritual Qi once it gathers in a Qi vortex of that attribute.
Winter passed and spring came, and all things revived.
After another half a year of effort, He Pingsheng, after consuming thirteen Spirit Pills, finally successfully Breakthrough to the Fourth Level as he wished.
Boom…
At the moment of this Breakthrough, a sudden enlightenment within his body was released outside.
Within a ten-zhang radius, even outside the house, everything was within his sight.
Divine Thought released.
“Great!” He Pingsheng opened his eyes, a bright light flashing in them: “Hahaha… I can Cultivate Spells right away!”
The so-called Spells are various techniques.
Attack, defense, assistance, and so on.
He Pingsheng turned to the very end of the Li Fire True Method, where the methods for Cultivating two Spells were recorded.
The first: Fire Crow Technique.
The second: Fire Shield Technique.
