Chapter 36: Rewards for Reaching the Level 8 Qi Refiner Stage

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Task: Break through to the Level 8 Qi Refiner (Progress: 0/1)

Reward: Millennium Spiritual Dew x 1

Accept: Yes/No

Lu Yi was shocked. He looked at the reward and question marks slowly floated through Lu Yi’s mind. He thought, ‘Is it actually possible?! And, the reward is a drop of Millennium Spiritual Dew?!’

Lu Yi’s heart ached suddenly. When he broke through to the Level 7 Qi Refiner stage before, he hadn’t issued a task for it. He felt it was a loss.

Lu Yi even felt like crying a bit. He took several deep breaths before calming down. He thought, ‘The past was in the past; regrets were useless. In the future, I had to develop a good habit of issuing various task instructions at any time to see if I could trigger tasks.’

Lu Yi resolved in his heart and accepted the task. Afterward, he began to circulate the White Cloud Qi Refining Art and began to break through the bottleneck.

The White Cloud Qi Refining Art had reached level 9, and its power had greatly increased compared to before. When Lu Yi broke through to the Level 7 Qi Refiner stage, the bottleneck resisted for a moment. However, this time, with the assistance of the White Cloud Qi Refining Art and the spiritual energy of the Millennium Spiritual Dew, the bottleneck couldn’t resist at all. It was almost instantly broken through by Lu Yi.

The spiritual energy circulated within Lu Yi’s body, gradually tempering his physical body. He exhaled a breath of turbid air and opened his eyes. He had reached the Level 8 Qi Refiner stage.

This time, Lu Yi wasn’t as surprised as before. Breaking through had become a common occurrence for him; he had to adapt to it.

After the breakthrough, Lu Yi immediately chose to claim the reward. A porcelain bottle appeared in his hand, and he opened it, sniffing the rich spiritual energy that wafted out. Its concentration far exceeded that of the Millennium Spiritual Dew. He placed the Millennium Spiritual Dew in his embrace and felt a bit troubled. He had too many good things now, Centennial Spiritual Dew, Millennium Spiritual Dew, top-grade magical tool, Perfect-Grade Foundation Establishment Elixirs…

Lu Yi didn’t even know where to put them all. Fortunately, he would receive an Interspatial Ring once he entered the inner sect tomorrow. He was already counting on getting an Interspatial Ring to store all these precious items.

Having learned from previous experience, Lu Yi was afraid of forgetting again. He mentally issued another task to himself to break through to the Level 9 Qi Refiner stage. As expected, the reward was still a drop of Millennium Spiritual Dew.

Seeing the reward, Lu Yi felt motivated. He closed his eyes with a contented smile and began cultivating in bliss.

…

The next morning, Lu Yi slowly opened his eyes, a glimmer of enlightenment shining in them. After a night of cultivation, he absorbed the spiritual energy of the Millennium Spiritual Dew, completely stabilizing his cultivation at the Level 8 Qi Refiner stage.

Getting up from the bed, Lu Yi stretched lazily. He left his room, entered the main hall of the house, and saw Lu Gaoyang sitting at the table, wiping his beloved mid-grade magical longsword.

Lu Yi glanced at it and quickly averted his gaze. In the past, he would have wanted to touch it, but now… he was already someone with a top-grade magical tool.

Seeing Lu Yi come in, Lu Gaoyang put away the longsword, smiled, and said, “Yi, you’re up quite early today.”

Lu Yi sat down at the table and smiled, nodding. He said, “Yes, I completed my cultivation task ahead of time today. By the way, where’s Mother?”

Lu Yi looked around but didn’t see Wang Siqi.

At that moment, Wang Siqi walked in from outside, a gentle smile on her beautiful face. She said, “I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.”

Wang Siqi took out portions of breakfast from her Interspatial Ring as she spoke.

One had to admit that having an Interspatial Ring in this world was much more convenient than the previous one. At least, when serving meals, there was no need to worry about having too much food and making multiple trips—it could all be done at once.

Looking at the delicious breakfast items continuously being taken out by Wang Siqi, Lu Yi cheerfully remarked, “Mother, why is today’s breakfast so sumptuous?”

Lu Gaoyang, who was sitting nearby, also chimed in happily, “How could it not be sumptuous? Our little rascal Yi has finally entered the inner sect. From now on, no one can disturb our peaceful personal times anymore.”

Lu Yi’s smile froze on his face and was shocked.

Wang Siqi glanced at Lu Gaoyang, and his smile froze.

Wang Siqi sat down and placed a bun in Lu Yi’s bowl. She smiled and said, “Yi, you need to work hard in your cultivation after entering the inner sect. You might not even be able to come back a few times a year. Today, I made you some of your favorite dishes.”

When Lu Yi met Wang Siqi’s gentle gaze, his heart warmed. He smiled and said, “Thank you, Mother.”

Then, Lu Yi felt that something was off. He got a feeling that entering the inner sect was so similar to when he was studying at university in his previous life. The sense of déjà vu was a little strong.

“Come, let’s eat,” Wang Siqi said with a smile.

Lu Gaoyang’s expression turned serious as well. He looked at Lu Yi and said, “Boy, your current talent is very good, but you have to know that there are always people better than you. Many people are better than you. After entering the inner sect, don’t cause trouble and cultivate well.”

“Father, you still don’t know me?” Lu Yi hurriedly nodded and said. “I’m not the kind of person who will cause trouble.”

Lu Gaoyang’s expression softened as he smiled and nodded. He said, “I believe in you.”

Lu Gaoyang paused and looked at Lu Yi. He asked, “You’re going to Silk Peak after entering the inner sect?”

“Yes,” Lu Yi nodded and said.

Lu Yi was recalling Liu Ningshuang’s pretty face and still remembered that he had a task to make her fall in love with him. Suddenly thinking about it made him feel embarrassed.

Lu Gaoyang nodded and said, “I heard that the assessment of Silk Peak is not simple. You should be careful.”

“I understand,” Lu Yi said with a smile.

Wang Siqi, however, didn’t mind and said, “With Yi’s talent, entering the inner sect is definitely no problem. Perhaps he might even become a disciple under the master of Silk Peak.”

The three of them chatted. After breakfast, Lu Gaoyang and the other two left the hall.

In the courtyard, Wang Siqi stroked Lu Yi’s hair and said with a smile, “After entering the inner sect, remember to wear more clothes. Don’t tire yourself out during cultivation. Safety is the most important thing…”

Wang Siqi nagged at Lu Yi. Lu Yi listened with a smile and did not interrupt her.

After a while, Lu Gaoyang said, “Alright, it’s about time.”

Wang Siqi nodded and looked at Lu Yi. She said, “Go ahead.”

“Father, Mother,” Lu Yi said with a smile. “I’ll be leaving then.”

Lu Gaoyang nodded and said, “Take care of yourself.”

Lu Yi waved at the two of them, then left the house and ran towards the outer hall.

The outer hall was located on White Dawn Peak, not too far away from White Spirit Peak. With Lu Yi’s speed, it did not take long for him to reach it.

There was a magnificent huge hall on the top of White Dawn Peak. It was the outer hall. It was very large. The Grand Elder Dugu Fang of the outer sect, Jiang Fan, and the others were already there.

When they saw Lu Yi, they all looked over. Jiang Fan chuckled and said, “Lu Yi, you’re a little late.”

Lu Yi smiled and nodded. He said, “I was saying goodbyes to my parents.”

Bai Yulong waved his folding fan and sighed, “Lu Yi is the best. His family is in the White Cloud Sect.”

The others nodded in agreement, sharing a profound understanding.

After joining the White Cloud Sect and becoming an outer sect disciple, the majority of their families still remained in the mundane world. Some disciples might have decent family backgrounds, belonging to cultivation clans or even being princes and princesses of kingdoms. However, compared to the world of cultivation, these were still insignificant.

The control the White Cloud Sect had over some kingdoms was quite substantial. Even for those from royal or noble families, joining the White Cloud Sect was a source of pride.

For those disciples who came from ordinary families or had common origins, after joining the White Cloud Sect, they would be separated from their families, leading lives completely detached from their worldly origins. They might not even meet their families more than a few times in their entire lives.

For the young outer sect disciples, that feeling was quite complex.

“Well, now that Lu Yi is here too, let’s set off for the inner sect,” said Dugu Fang with a smile.

Everyone’s eyes lit up with anticipation. Even Lu Yi was looking forward to it. Finally, they were going to the inner sect.

The inner sect was where the elite of the entire White Cloud Sect resided, with entirely different resources and techniques from the outer sect.
