    In the subsequent stages of cultivation, Lin Yi found that the difficulty in upgrading to the tenthyer of Qi Refinement was twice as challenging as the ninthyer.


    When cultivating at the ninthyer of Qi Refinement, one only needed to refine andpress spiritual energy, but after absorbing spiritual energy at the current stage, it first had to bepressed and refined, then furtherpressed for the second time to be liquefied as it moved on the path to the tenthyer.


    The time it takes for this liquefaction process is almost equivalent to the total time spent rotating through the meridians essed in the previous nineyers.


    After breaking through the ninthyer, Lin Yi spent about a year and a half perfecting his skills.


    Under the same circumstances, without altering his cultivation n, he estimated that it would take him about three years to achieve full circle on the tenthyer.


    Therefore, he could not afford anyxity or let unexpected events take up too much time before he breaks through the foundation.


    Otherwise, he might not be able to break through the Foundation Establishment level before entering the Dan God Secret Realm.


    Of course,pared to when he was at the ninthyer, he now has the added advantage of an extra title effect.


    Previously, he had relied on the Creation Method to sessfully evolve and break through to the tenthyer, gaining the passive title of [Creation Perfection].


    This title allows him to increase his cultivation speed by 50% when practicing the Creation Method, which can approximately shorten several months of time.


    Thus, to attain the true Large Completion of Qi Refining and save half a year for breaking through the foundation.


    In the following timespan, he nned to elevate the priority of his practicing Creation Method to the highest level.


    Practicing Farming Practice and the Five Thunder Spells, along with practicing alchemy, should be given less time. The most pressing matter was to quickly achieve Foundation Establishment.


    Because after achieving Foundation Establishment, he needed to reserve some time for cultivating Sword Control Technique. If a Foundation Builder did not have Sword Control Technique, he would be merely an outsized Qi Refining Cultivator.


    Sword Control Technique was not merely about using swords for flying. It could also kill enemies remotely and perform swordsmanship. Compared to spells, it has greater speed and destructive power.


    Of course, the main reason was its coolness. The number of cultivators treating swords as weapons wasrge. Therefore, this spell was named Sword Control Technique.


    Like Gold Sword Zen Ren, one gold sword made him invincible under the Golden Core Realm. Not that he couldn’t use magic, but that he saw no need. He could kill directly with swordsmanship, so why would he need magic?


    However, Lin Yi thought that Sword Control Techniques needed to be rehearsed apart from magic, the former required a sword to be disyed, thetter only required spiritual power.


    When he was practicing Five Thunder Spells, he had been thinking whether it was possible tobine it with the Farming Practice or other cultivation techniques.


    No one would care about a Farming Practice, it it concealed Five Thunder


    Magic spells inside it, it could unexpectedly inflict severe damages to enemies.


    He had tried it before, but he couldn’t integrate them into the Farming Practice. Perhaps it was because he had not reached the Great Perfection with the Five Thunder Spells, and he couldn’t fully control it.


    After joining the inner sect and starting long-term cultivation, Lin Yi finally understood why in the outer sect and Qing Yun City, only a few Inner Sect Disciples could be seen.


    It’s because many Inner Sect Disciples were pushing the limits, constantly cultivating to enhance their abilities.


    The lifespan of Qi refining cultivators is limited. To the cultivators with middle and lower-grade spiritual roots, wasting too much time could possibly have them fail to reach the Foundation Building Realm before their lives run out.


    The earlier one establishes their foundations, the more abundant time they would have to cultivateter. Foundation establishment is only the first step towards bing a true cultivator. There are still stages like Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and each step upwards will be increasingly difficult.


    Lin Yi was already ustomed to this kind of life in cultivation, and felt a sense of aplishment while witnessing his gradual progress.


    During his cultivation before breaking through to Foundation Establishment, he kept a much lower profile than before, barely leaving his Jin Qiao Peak Cave Mansion to avoid wasting too much time.


    However, during festivals, he would still visit the Outer Sect Sinong Hall and hang out with Old Huang. The old man’s health was deteriorating, and Lin Yi estimated that it would soon be impossible to see him again except at his grave.


    Even though Lin Yi’s current alchemy skills were approaching mastery, life-extending pills were not something an amateur could concoct.


    Even if he couldn’t guarantee a 100% sess rate when refining Gathering Qi


    Pills, not to mention life-extending pills which were extremely hard to refine.


    Even with the 30% sess rate provided by his [Alchemy Novice] title, without fulfilling the conditions, he would not be able to use the corresponding alchemy techniques, rendering the bonus useless.


    ording to his analysis, that sess rate was likely only applicable to beginner-level fundamental elixirs.


    Gradually, after two and a half years passed, with the addition of his artificial speed in cultivation, Lin Yi already perfected his cultivation to the tenthyer; this was the real Large Completion of Qi Refining.


    Currently, only one year remains until the second opening of the Dan God


    Secret Realm. Liu Yun Sect’s Inner Sectpetition has begun. Out of the Eleven Peaks of Golden Pill, each peak will select five elite disciples to participate in the inter-sect grandpetition.


    Only the top three disciples would be eligible to participate in the fight over ces in the Secret Realm amongst the Ten Major Sects. Thest time the Secret Realm opened, Liu Yun Sect did not have to participate in the struggle for ces as the Realm appeared within its territory, therefore obtaining eleven ces directly.


    Thepetition operated on a points system, and each participating disciple wouldpete against twenty-seven disciples from other sects. The winner would gain a point whilst the loser would lose one..
