Chapter 10 Entering the Sea of Joy is Like Entering a Deep Sea
Biyang Lake Courtyard.
"Damn it!"
Fang Qi slammed the "Divine Notes on Formations" on the table, his anger still simmering.
All those stories about finding bargains in novels are lies!
This book, "The Divine Notes on Formations," is utterly useless.
What kind of Myriad Manifestations Four Elements Grand Array is this? What kind of Thunder God Punishment Grand Array is this? They look incredibly powerful.
But the reality is that he's a complete novice when it comes to formations, he's never even seen the basic principles of formations, yet he's trying to create such a powerful formation right off the bat.
This is similar to an elementary school student taking advanced university-level mathematics.
Even if he were a genius in formations, able to understand any formation principle at a glance, and all the formations in this divine book were genuine.
But the materials for setting up the formation above are something a novice like him, who is only at the early stage of Qi Refining, could possibly produce.
"never mind."
Fang Qi waved his hand and put away "Divine Notes on Formations".
After all, it was only two sets of blood energy exchanged, so there was almost no loss. After learning the basic formations, this book, "Divine Notes on Formations," might come in handy.
"Let's focus on cultivation first."
He set up an isolation talisman, took out a Qi-gathering pill, and sat cross-legged.
The medicinal properties spread throughout the abdomen, and the Five Elements Breathing Method circulates in the Great Circulation.
Strands of spiritual energy flowed into the dantian, then split into three, penetrating deep into the dantian.
The first three levels of Qi Refining are about increasing spiritual power, which means expanding the storage capacity of the dantian.
The middle three layers are for compressing spiritual energy and enhancing spiritual energy.
In the later stages, the focus is on improving physical strength, transforming the dantian, and condensing qi seeds to prepare for foundation building.
The entire Qi Refining stage cultivation process is just like growing vegetables.
The land is cultivated in the early stage, fertilized in the middle stage, and seeds are sown in the later stage.
The method of expanding the dantian in the Five Elements Breathing Method is also the approach of most qi cultivation methods, which is to deeply explore the dantian and cultivate the spiritual field.
For example, if he has the three spiritual roots of metal, earth, and water, he needs to cultivate three spiritual fields in order to balance his dantian.
The more diverse the spiritual roots, the more spiritual fields can be cultivated.
This is also why cultivation of mixed spiritual roots is slow.
Moreover, it's not that having three spirit fields automatically results in higher spiritual power than having the same level of spiritual energy.
The upper limit of spiritual energy that the dantian can hold is fixed. There are three spiritual fields, and the spiritual energy is divided equally among them. Each spiritual field can only receive one-third of the spiritual energy.
Therefore, mixed spiritual roots are not only not stronger than those of the same realm, but are actually at a disadvantage because of the mixed spiritual power.
Fortunately, Fang Qi is different. The [Different Paths, Same Destination] ability gives him two blue bars, which means double the spiritual power, largely making up for his disadvantage in this aspect.
His current cultivation level is at the juncture of the second to third level of Qi Refining, and this time, he wants to break through the barrier in one fell swoop.
One by one, the Spirit Gathering Pills were swallowed, and the [Nine Heavens Mysterious Mirror] was superimposed.
With sunrise and sunset, the cultivation of the three spiritual fields of metal, earth, and water becomes increasingly extensive.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the five bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills were almost used up.
A gentle morning breeze blew into the room, and Fang Qi, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.
"Qi Refinement Level 3, complete!"
Within the dantian, the three spiritual fields of metal, earth, and water are perfectly square and surrounded by spiritual energy, representing the third stage.
"Finally, we've broken through."
"Next, we just need to fill the three major spiritual fields to bring the spiritual power to the threshold and prepare for the mid-stage of Qi Refining."
The main cultivation method in the mid-stage of Qi Refining is to irrigate the spiritual field with spiritual power, thereby enriching the spiritual field.
This stage may seem simple, but it actually requires accumulating and compressing a large amount of spiritual energy, making it ten times more difficult to cultivate than the initial stage.
The supporting conditions, such as elixirs, cultivation environment, and cultivation methods, all need to be upgraded.
Upgrading means spending more money.
"We need to quickly ramp up our efforts in the business of trading between the two sides."
Fang Qi stood up, preparing to cook a bowl of spiritual porridge to fill his stomach.
But then he realized that he had been so focused on buying Qi Gathering Pills for cultivation that he hadn't stockpiled any Spirit Valley.
"Never mind, I'll go feed the fish first, and then go to the market to buy some things."
He took out the flesh and blood, mixed it with the blood and qi powder, and then carried it outside.
......
Biyang Lake, Area C7.
Hundreds of kilograms of flesh and blood were thrown into the lake and were devoured by the carp in an instant.
Fang Qi stood on the shore, sensed the situation briefly, and looked disappointed.
The number of large crucian carp weighing over 1 jin (approximately 500 grams) remains unchanged; there were originally seven, but two were handed over a few days ago, leaving only five in the lake.
Just as he was thinking about whether he should increase the dosage, the lake water suddenly surged, and the blood-red lake water was inexplicably slammed several meters high.
Some lake water even splashed onto Fang Qi's feet from a distance of more than ten meters.
"Golden Blood Carp!" Fang Qi's eyes lit up instantly.
Among the school of fish, there was a large crucian carp with golden lines and a blood-red back.
The common blood carp is a half-demon, with no lines on its back.
A fish with golden lines on its back is a true demon fish!
Unexpectedly, one of these blood carp mutated into a golden-lined blood carp.
Fang Qixin was overjoyed.
"How many spirit stones would this demonic fish cost?"
"One hundred? Two hundred?"
Several months ago, a golden-lined blood carp appeared in the market, and it was said that someone was willing to pay 120 spirit stones to buy it.
Unfortunately, the deal ultimately fell through.
The reason is simple: the blood carp in Biyang Lake belong to the Dongxi Sect, and outer disciples like them are only responsible for raising fish.
Anyone who dares to sell these items privately will have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from the Immortal Sect.
Not to mention the monstrous Golden Blood Carp, which would probably lose its life.
So after the initial surprise, Fang Qi gradually calmed down.
He absolutely cannot hand it over. He raised this fish himself; there's no way he would hand it over to the immortal sect.
"The Golden-lined Blood Carp is the king of fish. It can not only command schools of fish, but is also naturally skilled in water magic, making it suitable as a spirit beast."
"If I can control this golden-lined blood carp, raising fish will be much easier in the future, and I will also gain an extra fighting force."
Raising spirit beasts requires a lot of resources, which are not even enough for outer disciples like them to cultivate themselves, let alone raise spirit beasts.
Fang Qi wasn't worried, though. With resources from both realms supporting him, raising a fish wouldn't be an easy task.
But there's a problem that needs to be solved first.
"Beast Taming Technique!"
Monsters won't follow you wholeheartedly just because you eat some meat; only techniques like the "Beast Taming Technique" can truly control them.
"Let's go check out the market."
Fang Qi waved his hand, throwing out large chunks of flesh and blood to lure the fish to the bottom of the lake, and then headed towards the market.
The Xiaodongtian Grand Competition is just two days away, and the bustling atmosphere in the market has reached its peak.
All four gates—east, west, south, and north—were overflowing with people, so Fang Qi had to find a side gate to enter.
After walking a few steps, someone suddenly pulled me from behind.
"Junior brother."
Fang Qi turned his head and saw that it was Ning Yanzu.
Today, Yan Zu (Yan Zu) smiles like a peach blossom and walks with a graceful gait.
Despite being a tall, strong man, he exudes a captivating charm.
"Senior Brother Ning." Fang Qi took a small step back, creating some distance.
That so-called Dragon Yang Secret Technique, how can it be so powerful?
Ning Yanzu raised his pinky finger and handed over a spirit stone, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Junior Brother."
He initially looked down on the furnace and cauldron, but after truly experiencing its mysteries, he only regretted that he didn't understand it enough back then and didn't enter the industry sooner.
Deacon Wang's Dragon Yang Secret Technique is a top-tier love-binding technique. Although he was merely a vessel for the union, he still benefited greatly from it, not to mention the extra gains such as spirit stones!
Therefore, I have come today to express my gratitude to Fang Qi.
At the same time, there is another task.
"Junior brother, the fish market is still short-staffed. The steward asked me to ask you when you're going over?"
Originally, Ning Yanzu thought that Fang Qi had already followed Steward Wang, but yesterday, Steward Wang asked him to find Fang Qi, and only then did he learn that Fang Qi had not yet become a furnace cauldron.
In that instant, anger at being deceived surged into his heart, but upon reflection, he realized he shouldn't be angry; he should be secretly pleased.
Since Fang Qi is not a furnace cauldron, there is one less competitor, so he can get more!
But he only came to go through the motions because of Deacon Wang's orders.
"With Senior Brother here, the fish market will surely thrive. I hope Senior Brother will convey my gratitude to the steward for his kindness."
Fang Qi was secretly amazed by the changes in Ning Yanzu.
This secret technique of male sexual intercourse is truly amazing. If I have the chance, I might be able to get my hands on it and study it.
Ning Yanzu was secretly pleased when he saw Fang Qi refuse.
Fang Qi was unwilling, but he was still Steward Wang's most favored person...
wrong!
"You broke through?"
Ning Yanzu was secretly delighted when he suddenly sensed that Fang Qi's aura had actually reached the third level of Qi Refining.
"I barely broke through yesterday; I can't compare to my senior brother."
Fang Qi did not deliberately conceal his aura, nor had he cultivated any techniques to suppress his aura.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother." Ning Yanzu was briefly surprised but quickly recovered.
In the past, Fang Qi's breakthrough would have made him feel a sense of urgency.
But things are different now. With Deacon Wang by his side, he has no shortage of resources.
He was already ahead of Fang Qi before, and he will only be ahead by more in the future.
