Spiritual Power surged within his body, and the powerful Geng Metal True Qi was charging with full force toward Qi Refinement Level Four.
With the help of Pills and Elixirs, his Spiritual Power boiled like the sea.
His last journey through the Minor Worlds and the battle on the deserted island had not been in vain. At this moment, the Spiritual Power within Xu Yi's body had become thick and solid. With the support of Pills and Elixirs, it was like a godly weapon forged a hundred times—unparalleled and unstoppable.
"Boom…"
A loud explosion seemed to erupt from within his body. Xu Yi let out a long breath, and the aura around him surged wildly. He had officially advanced to Qi Refinement Level Four.
Metal begets water.
At this moment, the once sharp and peerless Spiritual Power within his body suddenly became smooth and fluid.
Metal-element True Qi was immensely powerful and gave a huge advantage in combat. However, with every strength comes a drawback; metal-element True Qi was inherently damaging to the Meridian.
Although the harm was minimal, long-term operation without proper care could pose significant hindrances to future Cultivation Practice.
Monks who chose metal-element techniques generally had strong combat power, but endurance… not so much.
But now, after advancing to the mid-stage of Qi Refinement, Xu Yi could fully unleash the strengths of the Five Elements Reincarnation Cultivation Technique.
Starting from the fourth level, each advancement would automatically switch the cultivation element. By the seventh level, one could master all five elements.
Then, at the eighth level would come Five Elements Mutual Generation, and at the ninth level, the cultivation would reverse into Five Elements Mutual Restriction.
Once the full cycle of Mutual Generation and Restriction was completed, one would become a Foundation Establishment Monk.
Moreover, building a foundation with the power of the five elements would create a depth of foundation far beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.
The water-like Spiritual Power flowed through his Meridian. Xu Yi could feel that wherever the Spiritual Power passed, the Meridian immediately became full of vitality and resilience.
This formed a stark contrast to the metal-element cultivation technique.
Water-element techniques nurtured and nourished. While their combat capabilities might be slightly inferior, in terms of support and healing, they far outperformed the others.
Moreover, Xu Yi discovered something particularly special—water-element techniques even had a subtle cleansing effect on Pill Poison.
Although it surely couldn't withstand the terrifying pace at which he swallowed Pills and Elixirs, when used on the body in the Federation, the results would be extraordinary.
After advancing to Level Four, Xu Yi did not continue to cultivate but instead took out some materials.
These were items he had brought from the Federation. Once he had obtained them, Xu Yi did not choose to claim the reward.
Only after settling down in this Minor World did he decide to receive the hundredfold quantity.
Suddenly, a large quantity of materials appeared before him.
Xu Yi selected a few and began attempting artifact refinement.
There were many methods for artifact refinement, the most common being the fire-element forging method, which only Monks cultivating fire-element techniques could use.
However, besides fire, there was also a water refinement method.
This technique was less common, but when refining certain special Magical Artifacts, it could have surprisingly effective results.
Especially in repairing Magical Artifacts, water refinement even surpassed fire forging.
Since Xu Yi's Spiritual Power had already shifted to water-element, he could naturally study it.
He extended his hand, and streams of Spiritual Power flowed from his palm, circling before him like water.
He dropped in one material, and under the cleansing of the water-flowing True Qi, the impurities on the material gradually disappeared. Moments later, Xu Yi added another material…
A quarter of an hour later, a loud "bang" sounded, and the materials exploded instantly. The refinement had obviously failed.
Xu Yi gently shook his head and concluded that his True Qi was not soft enough, which caused the materials to conflict during fusion, leading to the failure.
Fortunately, the material stock here was abundant. Xu Yi casually tossed the failed batch aside and began a new attempt.
On the first day of refining, Xu Yi tried multiple times. Other than a few explosive sounds, there were no other results.
Still, he was not discouraged. He kept taking Qi Gathering Pills to increase his Spiritual Power, adjusted his mindset, and tried again and again.
Seven days passed in a flash. His Spiritual Power had improved slightly, but he had achieved nothing in artifact refinement.
One week had passed. Time for rewards.
System Rewards (Optional):
1.Stay in this world for 700 days.
2.Forfeit reward and return immediately.
Obviously, he chose the first option.
Thus, Xu Yi settled down peacefully in this Monk gathering site.
Whenever he ran low on materials, he would sell a Tier-2 Demon Core, select the first reward of a hundredfold Low Grade Spirit Stones, and then buy various artifact refining materials and top-grade Qi Gathering Pills.
Thanks to the hundredfold reward system, he never had to worry about Cultivation Practice resources.
The days that followed were fulfilling for Xu Yi.
Aside from taking Qi Gathering Pills and occasionally practicing the Giant Spirit Palm and Advanced Invisibility Technique, he devoted most of his time to artifact refinement.
