Chapter 17 The Yaksha Attack
"Having entered the Qi Refining Realm, I now possess the initial ability of internal observation!"
Xu Yan stood on the edge of the cliff, like an old pine tree, deeply rooted in the rock, motionless.
He narrowed his eyes, focusing his mind on his body, carefully sensing the subtle changes in his internal organs.
Although this sensation is still very vague, it is much stronger than before when it was impossible to sense anything.
The Qi Refining Realm is a process of strengthening the physical body by using a certain Qi Refining Secret Technique to circulate Qi and cleanse the impurities in the flesh, blood, and internal organs daily.
Cultivators who advance to this realm experience initial strengthening of their internal organs, leading to a significant improvement in their overall strength, agility, and other abilities.
In particular, the improvement in vision and hearing greatly increases a martial artist's ability to survive in complex environments.
That night at the mine.
The fact that Iron Spear Master, a cultivator at the Qi Realm, jumped from the high building unharmed and was able to detect Xu Yan's hiding place immediately demonstrates the formidable strength of cultivators at this level.
However, when faced with a cultivator wielding a magical artifact, even a cultivator at this level can only give up.
"In less than twenty days, he jumped from the third level of the Technique Realm to the sixth level of the Aura Realm, leaping across three minor realms. Compared to Fang Han, he doesn't seem to be any less impressive, does he?"
Xu Yan opened his eyes, clenched his fist, and this thought flashed through his mind.
The Nine-Aperture Golden Pill that Fang Han obtained was left behind by the Yellow Springs Emperor, and it contained a trace of the Yellow Springs Emperor's blood.
This not only helped Fang Han undergo a transformation in his martial arts spirit, but also facilitated his later gaining the recognition of the spirit of the Yellow Springs Diagram, "Yan".
Xu Yan himself couldn't even imagine where he could get such a top-grade Heaven-level pill.
However, with the help of the Bigu Pill, the White Yang Pill, and the Viper Inner Core, his progress in these early stages was not slow at all.
"If only I could fish out a pill like the Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir from the river of fate!"
Xu Yan's mind raced.
The Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir is quite unique among all the top-grade Heavenly Elixirs.
This pill was specifically made for cultivators at the Physical Body Realm.
Similar to the Yin-Yang Longevity Pill, it is one of the few Heaven-grade pills that can be taken by cultivators at the Physical Body Realm.
Other Heavenly-grade pills, such as the Thunder Bone Relic Pill, would be pulverized even by low-level Divine Ability Realm cultivators, let alone those in the Physical Body Realm. If they didn't have the strength to refine it, they would be reduced to dust.
Fang Han, who had never cultivated before, used the Nine Aperture Golden Pill and advanced to the fourth level of the Physical Body Realm of Hardness and Softness in just three months.
Ten years of arduous cultivation by an ordinary person cannot compare to the effects of this elixir in three months.
After that, Fang Han reached the eighth level of the Divine Might Realm in just two months.
For countless ordinary martial artists, they would probably never reach this level in their entire lives.
The miraculous effects of celestial-grade elixirs are evident.
If this pill were given to a cultivator with a foundation in cultivation, it would guarantee at least a mastery of the Divine Power Realm.
Furthermore, taking this elixir can increase one's lifespan by seven hundred years.
Before reaching the fifth level of the Divine Power Realm, the preciousness of lifespan goes without saying.
Without a doubt, any cultivator who takes this pill to advance to the Divine Power Realm will, as long as they do not perish prematurely, become a minor giant of the seventh level of the Divine Power Golden Core Realm.
In the ancient cultivation world, the Golden Age, where even golden elixirs were considered worthless, was probably related to this elixir.
After all, as long as there are enough Nine-Aperture Golden Pills, cultivators in the Divine Power Realm can be born in large numbers.
As for the Nine-Aperture Golden Pills that may exist in various void realms or in the treasure vaults of immortals, there are simply too many to count; it is not just the one left to his successor by the Yellow Springs Emperor.
For example, in the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion within the "Seven Mansions, Three Treasurys, and One Secret Treasury" of the Xuanhuang Great World, there are tens of millions of Nine-Aperture Golden Pills in one of the small treasure troves.
"Given enough luck, obtaining a Nine-Aperture Golden Core shouldn't be difficult. However, once you pass the Physical Body Realm, its effectiveness in tempering the body and refining the spirit diminishes significantly!"
Xu Yan shook his head, somewhat regretfully.
If he could obtain a top-grade Heaven-level pill like the Nine Aperture Golden Pill or the Yin-Yang Longevity Pill while in the Physical Body Realm, his Physical Body Realm cultivation would be incredibly powerful.
Advancing to the next level of the Divine Power Realm also brings great benefits.
Through several attempts at fishing for fate, he has gained a great deal of knowledge about what one catches.
Fishing bait comes in various colors, including white, red, yellow, and gold.
The items obtained from fishing correspond to the elixir of life, spirit elixir, earth elixir, and heaven elixir, as well as the magical artifacts, spiritual artifacts, treasure artifacts, and Dao artifacts.
Each type of bait is divided into four grades, corresponding to the four qualities of low, medium, high, and excellent items.
The bait for elixirs and magical artifacts requires at least 10 strands of destiny's power to be condensed.
The bait for elixirs and magical artifacts requires at least 100 strands of destiny power to be condensed.
A simple calculation reveals that the bait for Heavenly Elixir and Dao Artifact requires at least 10000 strands of Destiny Power to be condensed.
Each time they go fishing, they find hundreds or even thousands of pills, but only one treasure.
It is clear that there is a significant difference in value between the two.
To obtain a top-grade Heavenly Pill, one needs 8 strands of Destiny Power.
When he has accumulated enough power of destiny, he will undoubtedly have already advanced to the Divine Power Realm.
Even if you catch a bunch of Nine-Aperture Golden Pills and give him one, it will only increase his lifespan by seven hundred years.
Of course, even in the hands of cultivators in the Longevity Realm, the Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir is incredibly valuable.
Whether used to build power, train disciples or subordinates, or trade with others for other cultivation items, it is an invaluable asset.
"Let's set a small goal first: gather ten thousand strands of destiny's power!"
Thinking of the power of fate, Xu Yan's mind stirred, and he sank into the strange space-time deep within his sea of consciousness.
Just then, a force of destiny shot out from the coordinates of the Jade Dynasty world and entered his body.
"With 10 strands of destiny's power, Zhang Xiaofan has advanced to the Nourishing Life Realm!"
Xu Yan's eyes lit up.
Previously, after condensing a mark of destiny, he had 52 strands of destiny power remaining.
Having just broken through to the sixth level of the Qi Realm, my Destiny Power has increased by 60 strands.
With the addition of the 10 strands of destiny power he obtained from Zhang Xiaofan, he can now use 122 strands of destiny power.
"From this perspective, investing in this cheap apprentice is not only a profitable investment, but it can actually generate profit!"
After leaving Zhang Xiaofan some pills and silver, he appeared in Zhang Xiaofan's dream that night and instructed him to take one Bigu Pill every five days.
According to his estimate, with the help of the Bigu Pill, it wouldn't be difficult for Zhang Xiaofan to advance to the second level of the Strength Refining Realm within a month.
Today is the sixth day, and also the day Zhang Xiaofan takes his second Bigu Pill.
It's not surprising that he entered the realm of health preservation at this time.
When he first started fishing, he used ten strands of fate power to catch a bottle containing a hundred pills of fasting.
He now possesses the even more valuable Baiyang Pill.
There are various ways to collect low-level pills like the Bigu Pill in the future, so he will not waste his power of destiny to fish for these low-level items.
Training Zhang Xiaofan doesn't put much pressure on him.
"Taking fasting pills since childhood, tsk tsk, Zhang Xiaofan's starting conditions are far better than those of many royal and noble children in this world!"
Xu Yan laughed heartily. Just as he was about to leave the cliff, a series of "howling" sounds echoed across the land from afar.
Xu Yan's eyesight and hearing were far better than before, and he looked in the direction of the sound.
Dust billowed in the mountains, and the black dots grew larger and larger.
"These are subterranean demons? And there are even yakshas among them!"
"After all this time, has the Feathered Ascension Sect still not quelled the previous demonic chaos?"
"Or is it that there were too many demons on the surface, and they drove these underground demons into the Black Rock Mountains, intending to ambush and kill them here?"
Xu Yan did not hide, but seemed to be deep in thought.
