Xu Yi had an expression of helplessness. Although he had cultivated the Advanced Invisibility Technique, he had yet to master it fully.
He could deceive his parents, but not a Golden Core expert.
However, Teacher Li, how much longer are you going to keep this up?
This was already the third time.
Anyone who is under the scrutiny of the Spirit Eye Technique will inevitably feel uncomfortable.
Although Xu Yi understood Teacher Li's lapse in composure, that didn't mean he liked this feeling.
Moreover, high-level cultivators rarely acted so recklessly, probing others like this.
It could easily lead to conflicts.
Imagine casually running into a beautiful woman who's a perfect 90 out of 100, you can look at her from a distance without any problem.
But if you walk up to her and stare at her intensely, what do you think the result would be?
Li Yi's lips trembled slightly before she slowly said, "Xu... Xu Yi... you're at the third level of Qi Refinement?"
"Yes," Xu Yi let out a sigh of relief. Finally, Teacher Li was back to normal. "I had a bit of a fortunate encounter in the Minor Worlds, so I accidentally advanced a bit too quickly."
Li Yi's lips twitched. A bit of a fortunate encounter?
Accidentally advanced... a bit too quickly?
What the hell do you mean by that?
If you were being careful, just how far could you have advanced by now?
At this moment, even a Golden Core expert like Li Yi almost couldn't resist slapping this annoying kid in front of her.
After a long pause, Li Yi finally calmed down and said, "You also cultivated the Breath Suppression Technique?"
"Yes, I didn't want to be stared at by my classmates," Xu Yi said calmly.
Li Yi immediately understood, nodding slightly, "Smart choice. What you need to focus on now is cultivation practice, not showing off everywhere."
"Yes, Teacher."
"You're already at the third level of Qi Refinement. If you put in a little more effort, you might reach the mid-Qi Refining stage by your senior year."
"Teacher, I'll definitely work hard." Xu Yi vowed confidently.
Mid-Qi Refining Stage, you mean level four, right?
I'll go to the Transcosmic Reincarnation Tower again today, and with a bit of effort... No, I can't get too cocky. After all, level four would still take a couple of days, but it should be manageable, right?
Seeing that Xu Yi, despite already being at the third level of Qi Refinement, still maintained enough humility, Li Yi was quite pleased.
"If you really do reach the mid-Qi Refining stage, you'll definitely make it into one of the top 100 universities in the country. If you reach the high Qi Refining stage, you'll have a shot at being in the top 10 universities. Haha, if you manage to establish your Foundation before graduation, any university would be glad to offer you a special invitation."
Li Yi said this happily, and even smiled.
However, she immediately shook her head. That kind of thing was just unrealistic.
Xu Yi had only experienced a couple of small fortuitous encounters, and reaching this level was already impressive.
Could he really compete with the students in the rocket class?
"What type of Magical Artifact do you want?"
Xu Yi had already made up his mind. "I want a defensive Magical Artifact, an offensive Magical Artifact, and one for quick escape in battle."
"Oh, three?" Li Yi furrowed her brows, thinking for a moment. "Xu Yi, while regular Magical Artifacts aren't expensive, they definitely won't be cheap either."
"Teacher, how much does one usually cost?"
"Magical Artifacts for the Qi Refining Stage typically range from 300,000 to 500,000, but if they have special effects, they could go over a million."
Xu Yi couldn't help but click his tongue. Cultivation really was an expensive profession.
His parents' hard-earned savings over the years could only afford one regular Qi Refining Stage Magical Artifact.
But that wasn't surprising. While most people had their Foundation, without access to the Reincarnation Tower, advancing to Foundation Establishment was also quite costly.
For ordinary people, reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage and ensuring a lifespan of over 200 years was already the limit.
Battle wasn't something the average citizen had to worry about.
On Blue Star, people buy homes and cars, but have you ever heard of civilians buying missiles?
"Teacher Liu, can I pay with Spirit Stones?"
"Of course, you can pay with Spirit Stones, but a standard Spirit Stone is only worth 950 yuan," Li Yi said with a smile.
What a rip-off—selling it for 1,000 yuan but buying it back for 950.
But Xu Yi knew that this wasn't Li Yi's pricing.
"Alright, Teacher Liu, then I'll trouble you with this."
"It's no trouble, follow me," Li Yi said, giving instructions before leading him to the school's resource department.
The Resource Department was one of the most important departments at the school. They would buy back any resources students obtained from the Minor Worlds and sell various cultivation resources.
Zhang Liang had once sold a spiritual herb he found in the Minor Worlds to the resource department and even bought a Meridian Unblocking Pill.
Li Yi approached a light screen and made a few adjustments, saying, "Xu Yi, take a look and see which type of Magical Artifact you like."
Xu Yi nodded vigorously, suppressing his excitement as he began browsing through the options.
