Chapter 4: Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixir

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Yi glanced at the outer sect disciple blocking his way. The outer sect disciple was at the Level 8 Qi Refiner stage, and he seemed quite strong. Lu Yi smiled and said, “Senior brother, I’d like to go up to the platform. Would you mind stepping aside?”

“Go up to the platform?” The burly man was taken aback, his expression filled with astonishment.

Other outer sect disciples had strange expressions too, followed by a commotion.

“Hey, is this for real? I thought this kid just wanted to stand at the front. I didn’t expect him to want to go up to the platform!”

“Is he crazy? A Level 6 Qi Refiner cultivator wants to go up to the platform?”

“Junior brother, let me give you a piece of advice. The platform is quite treacherous. You won’t be able to handle it. You should go down!” Another outer sect disciple, seemingly concerned, warned Lu Yi.

Lu Yi paid no attention to others’ opinions. He smiled and said, “Senior brother, what’s your take?”

The burly man’s mouth twitched, and he grinned, “I don’t think it’s a good idea.”

As the burly man spoke, his spiritual energy circulated him, and he drew the large blade from his back.

“I guessed as much.” Lu Yi chuckled and drew his long sword. He calmly looked at the burly man.

At that moment, a bold idea struck Lu Yi. He tried to issue a task mentally, ‘Defeat the opponent in front of me.’

In the next instant, his field of vision changed.

Task: Defeat the Level 8 Qi Refiner outer sect disciple (Progress: 0/1)

Reward: Supreme-Grade Qi Condensation Elixir x 10 / Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixir x 1

Accept: Yes/No

Lu Yi saw the task and felt like he had opened the door to a new world. He did not believe that it was possible. If so, he would be able to challenge other outer sect disciples in the future and earn rewards.

Moreover, the rewards were incredible. Not to mention the supreme-grade elixirs, the perfect-grade pills were completely free of elixir toxicity.

With a perfect-grade elixir, there would be no worries about elixir toxicity, no wasting time on detoxification, and the foundation would be extremely solid, no different from cultivating spiritual energy bit by bit.

Lu Yi did not know if the White Cloud Sect had perfect-grade elixirs, but he knew that as an outer sect disciple, he only received a bottle with ten Mid-Grade Qi Condensation elixirs as monthly cultivation resources. He did not even get the top-grade ones.

Lu Yi had two choices for his reward. Either take ten Supreme-Grade Qi Condensation Elixirs or one Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixir.

Just defeating a Level 8 Qi Refiner outer sect disciple would earn him such great rewards. Lu Yi felt like he could bankrupt his Golden Finger.

Lu Yi looked at the burly man before him, his gaze changing as if he was looking at a perfect-grade elixir.

Seeing Lu Yi’s gaze, the burly man could not help but shiver and thought, ‘Does this kid… have some unusual fetish?’

The burly man grew anxious, and he dared not think any further. He glared and sternly said, “Step back!”

Then, the burly man stepped forward with his big blade slashing toward Lu Yi.

Under the gleam of the blade, a tiger’s roar echoed, and the blade wind howled, ruffling Lu Yi’s black hair.

The Tiger Blade.

Lu Yi recognized the technique. Like the White Cloud Sword, it was one of the fundamental techniques of the White Cloud Sect, suitable for Qi Refiner stage cultivators.

The technique was fiercely aggressive, embodying the true essence of a tiger’s strength. It was said that when mastered to a high level, the roars of tigers could be heard within the blade’s light, intimidating the heart and causing opponents to crumble without even fighting.

However, the senior brother’s skill seemed lacking in Lu Yi’s opinion.

After half a month of practice, Lu Yi’s stats had already changed.

Character: Lu Yi

Cultivation Base: Level 6 Qi Refiner

Cultivation Technique: White Cloud Qi Refining Art (Level 6)

Arts: White Cloud Sword (Level 6), White Cloud Stance (Level 6)

Lu Yi did not know how strong he was now, but he knew that at the very least, he was much stronger than the Level 8 Qi Refiner senior brother. Lu Yi believed that as long as he wanted, he had several ways to defeat the senior brother in an instant.

However, Lu Yi had a different idea. If he displayed too much strength, no one would dare to challenge him later. Then he would miss out on many perfect-grade elixirs. It was unacceptable to Lu Yi.

Enduring the urge to defeat the burly man with a single strike, Lu Yi began performing with the White Cloud Sword, engaging in a skirmish with the burly man, appearing to have a similar level of strength.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The clash of metal resounded, and the two figures flashed in an open space.

Meanwhile, the nearby outer sect disciples were staring wide-eyed, their mouths agape, showing expressions of disbelief.

“What the hell?! Is this junior brother really this strong?”

“A Level 6 Qi Refiner cultivator can fight on par with a Level 8 Qi Refiner senior brother? Who is this kid?”

“He’s using the White Cloud Sword? Can the White Cloud Sword be this powerful?”

“I practice the White Cloud Sword too. I can confirm that he’s using the White Cloud Sword. But… it seems like this junior brother’s White Cloud Sword has reached the stage of transformation?! There’s a trace of the White Cloud intent in it. This is incredible!”

“Wow… A transformed technique? No wonder this kid is so formidable.”

The disciples around were in an uproar.

Cultivation of techniques relied heavily on comprehension. Although foundational techniques were simple to start with, mastering them to a profound level was quite challenging.

Among the tens of thousands of outer sect disciples, perhaps not even a thousand had truly mastered the foundational techniques, let alone reached a Transformed stage. Even a hundred might be pushing it to reach the Transformation stage in the foundational techniques.

These disciples had always been in the spotlight on the platform, receiving attention from the elders. Unexpectedly, another one appeared now. In other disciples’ opinion, Lu Yi’s cultivation level was not high; otherwise, he would have defeated his opponent long ago.

Each disciple’s view of Lu Yi changed. Of course, the burly man who was Lu Yi’s opponent understood best just how tough of a fight Lu Yi was. Facing the White Cloud Sword at the Transformation stage, the burly man was even more astonished.

However, after losing to a Level 6 Qi Refiner junior brother, the burly man felt relieved upon hearing Lu Yi’s words. He grinned and said, “Your insight is astounding, junior brother. I didn’t expect you to reach the Transformation stage with the White Cloud Sword. I truly admire you. I concede defeat wholeheartedly.”

“Thank you for your generosity, senior brother.”

“You’re too kind, junior brother. Please go ahead!”

The two of them exchanged courteous remarks. In a friendly atmosphere, the burly man stepped aside, allowing Lu Yi to pass. Meanwhile, Lu Yi also took a glance at his status interface.

As expected, the task showed as completed. As for the reward choice, Lu Yi already had his answer. He would undoubtedly choose the Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation elixir. While the supreme-grade elixir was good, it still had the issue of elixir toxicity. Lu Yi’s standards had risen.

Lu Yi did not directly claim the reward since he did not need it right now. Suddenly having an elixir appear in his hand would be too absurd.

With anticipation, Lu Yi thought that someone would likely block his path later, giving him a chance to earn another Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixir.

‘Oh, right!’ Lu Yi had another bold idea. He muttered to himself, “I want to ascend the White Sun Peak platform!”

In the next moment, a task appeared on his status interface. Lu Yi glanced at it, widened his eyes at the reward, and felt ecstatic. He had not expected the reward to be so amazing.
