Chapter 161: Bond


    If ording to Ming He''s divination, when the seeds turn into flowers, Qin Yi''s cultivation would have reached the point where he can refine the elixir for Liu Su.


    This was not an arrangement of a powerhouse, nor was it luck. It was the mysterious destiny. Just like the first ray of sunlight one saw when he woke up.


    One was bright with the world.


    Under such opportunities, one''s tao could improve rapidly.


    Maybe it was heavenpensation for the futility of everything going wrong in South Li Kingdom.


    This wouldn''tst long, but he hoped it couldst longer.


    After Qin Yi returned to the cave house, he watered the flowerbed quietly every day. After watering, he would sit aside and take out his paintbrush to draw.


    Except for a few, most of the immortal herbs in the garden were mature. Seeing the garden full of fragrance, he had a sense of aplishment. The paintings on the scrolls were bing more beautiful and perfect day by day.


    He didn''t know how long these days of such retreatsted. When the fragrance of flowers overflowed from his paintings, his cultivation had unknowingly advanced to the Piano Heart Stage level 3.His immortal cultivation had reached the same level as the martial arts cultivation, which was normal. After all, he came to Myriad Tao Immortal Pce for the immortal way.


    Since any cultivation was divided into 9 levels, there was naturally a reason for it. At a low-level level like the Phoniex Initiation Stage, the differences between each level were not prominent. But when one reached the Piano Heart Stage, he would find that the threshold began to appear.


    Level 1 to level 3 were considered the lower three levels. Breakthroughs were rtively rapid and there was no very clear level difference. From level 3 to level 4, there was a rank difference. It could be regarded as a threshold breakthrough from the early stage to the intermediate stage. The quality of cultivaton improved after passing this threshold was more than the previous three levelsbined.


    This was only one threshold for every three levels. When it reached a more advanced level in the future, each level would have a threshold. Hence, it would get harder and harder to ascend.


    Liu Su suggested to Qin Yi that he could start alchemy training when he was at the Piano Heart Stage level 4.


    This was a very troublesome level for many people, but for Qin Yi, it was not difficult at all. Because he was an alchemist.


    The external elixir was not used to promote cultivation, so he generally did not take drugs. But if he didn''t take auxiliary elixirs to help in the advancement, he would be stupid. He didn''t learn external elixir for so long just for fun.


    Among the medicinal herbs in the medicinal garden, some were won from Xi Xiangzi, and some wereter purchased by Qing Feng and Ming Yue under his order. All of them were used to refine the Jade Spirit Pill that aided in the breakthrough. He had long prepared for it.


    Moreover, he had already made a batch of it yesterday so that he could start consuming in the breakthrough.


    Cultivating with ''wealth'' and nd'' was so easy.


    Qin Yi consumed a Jade Spirit Pill.


    Liu Su looked at him meditating and said nothing.


    Sometimes the two of them were a little confused, wondering whether Qin Yi was cultivating for himself or for Liu Su.


    At least he did all the preparation to advance to level 4 for Liu Su. Otherwise, Qin Yi himself would never have such a purpose, which was contrary to cultivating.


    Liu Su even suspected that Qin Yi''s cultivation at the Myriad Tao Immortal Pce would end here if there were no other surprises. Of course, there are bound to be surprises, because he hadn''t seen the whole picture of the Myriad Tao Immortal Pce.


    In Qin Yi''s sea of qi, the image of the pool began to have waves.


    That''s when the elixir started to take effect.


    The calm pool had waves like a river. He seemed to hear the rushing water sound. The clouds and mist in therge pool were getting more and more dense. There seemed to be dense clouds and rain above, blending into a scene.


    Piano Heart Stage intermediate stage.


    Level 4.


    Qin Yi opened his eyes. "How many days have I been cultivating?"


    In his imagination, it only took a while, like standing by the river and looking at the scenery for a while.


    Liu Su replied, "Three days."


    Qin Yi turned his head. Sure enough, the fire phosphorus grass that needed to be used as adjuvant ingredients hadpletely opened its des, with yellow flowers visible at the tips.


    The elixir was refined.


    "Three days have passed just at once..." He smacked his tongue. "No wonder some old freaks spend so many years in seclusion."


    Liu Su said, "Now your Immortal cultivation has surpassed that of martial arts. Do you remember how long you have been cultivating in total?"


    Qin Yi thought seriously. "It''s been almost a year."


    In fact, it had been just over a year since the day he crossovered.


    "So you are a special phenomenon." Liu Su said, "People, who have retreated in seclusion, are unlikely to advance like you."


    "That''s good. Actually, I''ve been thinking about something..."


    "What?"


    "For those who have taoistpanions, wouldn''t they be cuckolded aftering out of their retreat? No wonder many cultivators would rather be single!"


    "I thought you were thinking about an important matter!" Liu Su said, "You’re probably the most boring immortal cultivator in history!"


    "Haha..." Qin Yi stood up and carefully picked up the fire phosphorus grass, "Let''s refine the Soul Solidifying Pill!"


    When he arrived at the alchemy room and looked at the Purple Gold Beast Head Cauldron, Qin Yi suddenly felt a little funny.


    He chose this mountain just for this furnace and the earth fire, but refining the Jade Spirit Pill was the first time he used it after staying here for so long. How would Xi Xiangzi react if he knew about this?


    In fact, theoretically speaking, if he just focused on refining elixirs, that would be a kind of cultivation. But this kind of cultivating was too luxurious. How could he get so much resources to refine?


    Qin Yi took out the half ck Blood Lotus and the Soul Consolidating Flower he won from Xi Xiangzi, mixed them with the newly nted fire phosphorus grass, and blended it in proportion to make a medicinal embryo.


    Then he threw it into the alchemy cauldron.


    The alchemy cauldron faintly exuded divine light. The earth fire passed through the alchemy cauldron, and the filtered fire emerged from the inside of the alchemy cauldron, carefully refining the medicinal embryo. The cauldron also emanated an aura that assisted the fusion of the ingredients.


    "We all underestimated this furnace." Liu Su said with a smile, "In terms of alchemy value alone, this furnace is of higher quality than your flute. It is indeed a relic left by a Radiant Yang Stage cultivator. At least it gives us a 20% more chance in refining this elixir... Xi Xiangzi actually wants to exchange a few seeds for such a treasure."


    Qin Yi said casually, "I regretted giving him the body-building prescription if I had known earlier. I should have kicked him in the butt again."


    "It''s nothing. The Moonlight Body Quenching Liquid, which added the golden toad pus, will cause frequent nocturnal urination in mortals. Even the cultivator will have the urge to urinate. It may itch and cause a rash somewhere. Take it as a lesson for him..."


    The moment suddenly became quiet.


    Qin Yi, who was about to activate spiritual force to control the fire, turned to look at the mace beside him expressionlessly.


    Mace jumped and hid in the corner, "Control… control the fire… don''t be distracted..."


    Qin Yi gritted his teeth. "You damn stick! I''ll settle the score with youter!"


    Looking back, the fire was indeed flickering wildly. Qin Yi did not dare to be distracted and concentrated on controlling the fire.


    The Jade Spirit Pill, that helped in the breakthrough was simple, it was a grade 6 pill. Back in the Rift Valley, Qin Yi could barely refine grade 7 elixirs. Now his cultivation had made great progress and the cauldron was of higher grade, the sess rate of refining grade 6 elixirs was extremely high. But the Soul Solidifying Pill was very difficult. It had already reached grade 4. Even if Cheng Cheng were to refine it, she would not be able to guarantee a sessful refinement.


    Therefore, it was necessary to pass at least the level 4 threshold of the Piano Heart Stage, so that he could have more spiritual force to control.


    The Red Lotus Heart Fire had an extra high temperature and was stable enough. The only drawback was that it is not uniform enough. It needs to be matched with his own Voodoo Ritual Fire fusion control and extremely sophisticated me control. Then supplemented by the characteristics of this alchemy cauldron, with perfect cooperation, you can have certain qualifications to refine the Condensation Pill.


    The sess rate would probably not exceed 50%. Fortunately, the materials were sufficient to refine three times.


    "Bang!"


    After refining for a day and night, the alchemy cauldron suddenly shook. The medicinal embryo was ruined, and the medicinal potency was lost.


    It had nothing to do with the previous distractions. The fact that this elixir was almost done, but it still failed. It meant that he didn''t control the final fusion well. Qin Yi shook his head, regained his spiritual force slightly, and thought about thest feeling just now, then he continued to refine the second medicinal embryo.


    Failure was expected. Maintaining his mentality was the most important thing.


    At such times, he could often reach the focused state of ignoring everything else. This was Qin Yi''s talent.


    Another day and night.


    Qin Yi controlled the fire steadily without even moving.


    The elixir was almostplete in the cauldron. The faint fragrance of elixir was already overflowing.


    Liu Su watched by the side. It reminded her of the young boy who was staring intently at the pot.


    A year had passed, and it was still Qin Yi and Liu Su in the room, but Qin Yi had already reached the Piano Heart Stage intermediate stage, and the grades of alchemy tools were alsopletely different.
