The small courtyard was empty. Xu Yi had paid for two years' worth of rent upfront, much to the landlord's delight.
Now that he had a temporary place to stay, Xu Yi took out his Spirit Stones and the medicine bottles.
I choose one Medium-grade Spirit Stone.
In an instant, the twelve standard Spirit Stones disappeared, replaced by a Medium-grade Spirit Stone.
The Medium-grade Spirit Stone was the same size as a standard Spirit Stone, but the energy within it was on a whole different level.
One Medium-grade Spirit Stone contained as much energy as seventy to eighty Low-grade Spirit Stones, but its price was more than a hundred times that of a standard Spirit Stone.
Xu Yi carefully stored it away. If he took it back to the Federation, it could be worth over 100,000.
The Spirit Stones he had were purchased by his father at 1,000 yuan each.
A medium-grade Spirit Stone would typically cost around 120,000 yuan, though the selling price would be lower.
Sigh. A single Spirit Stone was equivalent to about a year's worth of his father's salary. Cultivating immortality was truly not something an ordinary family could afford.
I choose 200 middle-grade Qi Gathering Pills.
Next, the pill bottle immediately burst open. Xu Yi was prepared and caught all the pills.
These were middle-grade Qi Gathering Pills. The nutritional components were similar to the low-grade pills, but the Pill Poison was much less, making them a better option.
Low-grade pills were practically waste. Occasionally, they could be used, but with the Pill Poison accumulated, they could be dangerous if overused.
The middle-grade Qi Gathering Pills were the preferred choice of most Qi Refining Stage cultivators.
Of course, the name might differ in other worlds, but the effects were the same. In the Federation, it was unified as the Qi Gathering Pill.
Xu Yi took a pill and swallowed it, diving back into his cultivation.
From this day on, his intense cultivation life resumed.
Of course, aside from focusing on Spiritual Power, Xu Yi also devoted some time to studying the Advanced Invisibility Technique and Giant Spirit Palm.
Especially the former. After experiencing the benefits of ambushing the Lesser Demon Scorpion, Xu Yi began to give it more importance.
Xu Yi consumed ten Qi Gathering Pills a day, and on the fifth day, he felt the surge of energy inside him was becoming too overwhelming to contain.
Most cultivators would focus on accumulating their Spiritual Power until it was about to break through, then take the corresponding pills to force the breakthrough.
However, Xu Yi's method was different. He kept consuming the Qi Gathering Pills, accumulating more and more energy. Once it exceeded the limit, the overwhelming Spiritual Power would break through automatically.
The advantage of this method was that his true qi would be incredibly strong, with a solid foundation.
But the drawback was that it consumed a lot of time and resources.
If not for the hundredfold rewards, Xu Yi wouldn't have dared to follow this path.
"Boom…"
The energy inside Xu Yi's body surged, and when he had finished refining it, he had reached Qi Refining Third Layer.
A faint smile appeared on Xu Yi's face. He had already anticipated this, so it wasn't surprising.
After his energy settled, he continued swallowing middle-grade Qi Gathering Pills, starting a new round of cultivation.
Twenty days later, all the pills and elixirs he had consumed were gone.
Although Xu Yi was still at the Third Layer, he had made significant progress.
Feeling the state of his meridians, Xu Yi furrowed his brow slightly.
Even the middle-grade Qi Gathering Pills still contained some Pill Poison. After consuming two hundred over the course of twenty days, he could feel his meridians becoming slightly fragile.
This was still due to the fact that his body had never consumed any pills before. Otherwise, it would have been much worse.
But Xu Yi wasn't too worried. As long as he could hold on until the 700-day mark, he would return safely.
He activated his movement techniques and headed back into the wilderness.
Habitually suppressing his presence, he pushed the Invisibility Technique to its limit.
Now at the Third Layer, his true qi was even stronger, and his research on the Advanced Invisibility Technique had made progress, so it worked even better than before.
He moved cautiously through the wilderness, trying not to alert any Demon Beasts or Monks.
After a whole day, Xu Yi found his next target.
This wasn't a battle scene. Instead, he spotted a Demon Scorpion, about a meter long, lazily lying under the shadow of a giant rock.
Judging by its size, this Demon Scorpion seemed to be a newly matured one, having just left its family.
Its strength was equivalent to a human cultivator at Qi Refining First to Third Layer.
