C70 Increasing Potential
Talent, comprehension ability, potential, and all that affected the probability of one becoming a Qi Transformer after eating the fruit.
The Chu Family was a family that established itself with pills. Consequently, they had detailed records of the Yang Fruit and also a Level-9 alchemist.
After the Chu Family's resident alchemist conducted numerous experiments, he concluded that there were two ways to increase the probability of becoming a Qi Transformer after eating a Yang Fruit.
The first method was to use the Yang Fruit as the main ingredient and then add dozens of precious herbs to refine a top-tier pill called the Profound Essence Pill.
However, the Chu Family couldn't use this method for the time being since only a Level-8 alchemist could refine a Profound Essence Pill. Chu Family's resident alchemist was a Level-9 alchemist, so he didn't have the confidence to refine this pill successfully.
The second method was to use a medicinal catalyst to stimulate the Yang Fruit's medical strength wholly.
As the name suggests, the Yang Fruit's main attribute was yang. If one could find an extreme yin treasure of the same level and consume them together, the fusion of Yin and Yang could bring the probability to 70%.
The Chu Family decided to employ the second method and had already sent their experts to retrieve one such treasure that they knew about. In two months at most, the patriarch and the two Level-10 Body Refiner elders would try to breakthrough.
If all three of them could become Qi Transformers, the Chu Family's overall strength would instantly surpass the Qi Family, and they could fight against the Liu Family.
"Ah... So that's how it is." Through Chu Fann's explanation, one of Chu Zhongtian's biggest doubts got resolved.
"Tian, you must keep the news regarding the Yang Fruit a secret. Before the patriarch and the others' breakthrough, you must not let anyone else know about this," Before leaving, Chu Fann repeatedly warned.
"Eighth uncle, don't worry! I know the importance of this kind of thing."
Tranquil Elegant Courtyard, cultivation room:
Chu Zhongtian sat cross-legged; in front of him was a box carved from century-old purple wood. The box contained the rewards for the Hunting Contest's champion.
He poured out everything in the box and categorized them.
Five thousand low Level-8 spirit stones, five advance Level-10 Qi Increasing Pill, three advance Level-10 Heart Tranquilizing Pill, one top-tier ten times steel knife, one top-tier armor, and a jade pendant carved out of warm jade.
He ignored the spirit stones and the pill; instead, he first picked up the jade pendant and carefully examined it. There were three lifelike purple-gold little dragons carved on the jade pendant. Despite being mere carve-outs, they could give one the illusion of being ferocious dragons flying around.
This jade pendant engraved with three little dragons was his entry card for the Hidden Dragon Pavilion.
The small purple dragons on the pendant represented the number of days he could stay inside the pavilion.
Since this jade pendant was related to his next goal, Chu Zhongtian put it in his bosom solemnly. Then, he temporarily ignored the other treasures. He first took out a spirit stone from the pile of spirit stones and held it in his hand. He used the Taixuan Heart Sutra and tried to absorb the spiritual Qi inside the low Level-8 spirit stone.
After mere three seconds, he had to stop: the spiritual Qi inside the stone was too thick.
If we drew parallels, the Qi inside an inferior stone was akin to a drop of water. It was akin to a cup of water for a Level-10 stone and a bucket of water for a Level-9 stone. For a Level-10 stone, it was akin to a barrel full of water.
After experiencing the Hunting Contest's tempering, Chu Zhongtian had already reached the edge of breaking through. Just now, when he absorbed a sliver of Qi from the low Level-8 spirit stone, the thick spiritual Qi almost made him break through.
The reason he suppressed it and didn't break through was that Chu Zhongtian still had to make some preparations. He still had to duplicate a lot of advanced Meridian Enhancing Pills and advanced Dantian Cultivating Pills. This way, he could continuously strengthen his meridians, expand his dantian, and increase his potential.
Level-5 of the Qi Refining Realm asked for the eight special meridians to form a perfect cycle that could automatically transform spiritual Qi into spiritual power. This was also commonly known as the minor circle.
For Level-6 of the Qi Refining Realm, one's 12 primary meridians formed a perfect circle that could automatically transform spiritual Qi into spiritual power. This was also commonly known as the major circle.
Levels five and six of the Qi Refining Realm were closely linked, so cultivators usually faced no bottlenecks in these two levels. As long as there was enough spiritual Qi, one's meridians and dantian could easily withstand the transformation process. Consequently, breaking through these two levels didn't take long.
There were still eight days left until before he had to enter the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, so Chu Zhongtian didn't plan to breakthrough now. After entering the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, he would strive to break through these two realms in a row. He also wanted to break through to Level-7 of the Qi Refining Realm in the same go.
As mentioned earlier, a Level-7 Qi Refiner could manipulate their spiritual power outside their body. They could make their spiritual power leave their body and act in whatever way they wanted outside. Before reaching that level, Chu Zhongtian wanted to expand his dantian as much as he could.
If he wanted to break through three minor levels in one go, he had to accumulate a lot of spiritual power, and the bigger his dantian—the more spiritual power he could store.
Fortunately, Chu Zhongtian had obtained first place in the Hunting Contest. Not only did he have a large amount of Level-8 spirit stones, but he also had many pills. Using his "copy-paste" ability, he could make as many duplicates as he wanted. So, it wouldn't be difficult for him to expand his dantian and store much spiritual power in it.
After using the thick Qi inside the Level-8 stones, Chu Zhongtian duplicated 50 advanced Meridian Enhancing Pills, 50 advanced Dantian Cultivating Pills, 50 advanced Qi Increasing Pills, and 10 advanced Heart Tranquilizing Pills.
However, duplicating these advanced pills had diminished the number of spirit stones in his hands by almost a quarter.
Ignoring the pile of white powder on the floor, Chu Zhongtian began to calm his mind and concentrate, gradually increasing his potential.
Cultivation emphasized the combination of work and rest, so while increasing his potential, Chu Zhongtian found a basic fist technique and a basic leg technique from the library to practice.
After experiencing more than a dozen life and death battles during the course of the Hunting Contest, Chu Zhongtian found that although his saber technique was progressing very quickly, he had too few offensive moves. The fist and leg techniques suited him the best among all the fighting methods, so he decided to learn them.
So, this time, instead of practicing the basic saber technique, he chose the fist technique and the leg technique. As for the incomplete martial skill, the Eight Trigrams Six Joint Fists, Chu Zhongtian planned to wait until he had mastered the basic fist technique before attempting to cultivate that.
Compared to the various basic saber technique, the fist technique and the leg technique were much simpler.
The basic fist technique had a total of seven moves, and the basic leg technique had a total of four moves.
