Chapter 10: Chapter 10: A Killing Night
In a quiet chamber within the cave mansion, Lü Yang sat cross-legged and began his breakthrough.
With the pills taking effect and half a month of uninterrupted cultivation behind him, his cultivation base surged toward its breaking point.
"Boom!"
In the next second, as if stepping onto a higher level, Lü Yang only felt a majestic flow of Qi roaring within him, surging like a great river, invigorating his spirit.
Qi Refining Second Layer!
"There are no bottlenecks before the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining — all it takes is time. But right now, time is the one thing I don’t have."
The presence of Qingchen sparked a sense of crisis in Lü.
He would never forget, that in his previous life, Liu Xin had forced his way into the cave mansion. If Liu Xin could do it, why couldn’t Qingchen?
The cave mansion is also unreliable!
"The only truly reliable thing is one’s own cultivation and strength!"
With this thought, Lü Yang took out all the remaining pills, and swallowed them all at once. He called Yun over for dual cultivation.
Although this was somewhat wasteful, with at least thirty percent of the pill’s effects being wasted, it allowed him to enhance his cultivation at the fastest pace. In Lü’s view, as long as he could breakthrough to Qi Refining Third Layer, these spirit pills would have served their purpose and weren’t bought in vain.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was three days and nights.
During this period, Lü Yang neither ate nor drank, finally feeling as if he had broken through a thin barrier.
"... Done!"
Lü Yang turned his senses inward, feeling the immense Qi flowing like rivers through his meridians, too vast to be further expanded.
At first glance, it seemed like his cultivation had reached perfection.
"So this is a bottleneck...."
Lü Yang didn’t see this as the end, nor did he dare relax. He knew that one more step forward would be reaching the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, a leap from the Early to the Mid-phase, and even within the Stain Sect, Such cultivation would place him among the outstanding disciples, those qualified for certain sect positions.
He took out the Primal Qi.
"Continue!"
The Primal Qi circulated, and Lü Yang then manipulated his own Qi to swallow it in one gulp, then watched as the Qi surged like rivers returning to the sea, pouring into his dantian.
As the Primal Qi was continuously consumed, Lü Yang soon felt that the bottleneck, which had once blocked him like an insurmountable mountain, was being slowly eroded. Until the Primal Qi was completely exhausted, that invisible bottleneck melted away like snow and ice, collapsing in an instant!
In the dim quiet chamber, Lü Yang suddenly opened his eyes.
His gaze was sharp, lightening the whole dark room like a torch.
After another day and night, he finally stepped into the Mid-phase—and his strength was nothing like it had been merely days before.
"The gap between the Early and Mid-phase is almost impossible to bridge
