Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Returning to the Sect Ahead of Time

Meanwhile, on the other side.

During the day, the thunderous noise of the yard’s Array was caused by Han Yi unleashing the Spirit Void Finger.

Because his Spirit Void Finger advanced to the next level.

However, before he could rejoice, the downwardly-fired Spirit Void Finger directly shook the Array foundation, causing a significant tremor.

The tremor was so strong, not only did he stir up dust filling the sky, leaving him in an embarrassing mess, but it also startled him.

Moreover, the bedroom, which had been standing upright in front of him, collapsed in its latter half.

It was only due to the Array and the viewing angle that the people squatting at the door could not see this change.

Han Yi couldn’t care less about his embarrassing state. Instead, he laughed heartily. After laughing, he let out a deep breath, the energy like a surge, swirling up the remaining Spirit Energy in the bedroom, rolling endlessly, permeating the entire room.

It took a long time for it to calm down.

Four months later, his Spirit Void Finger reached a new height, and the formidable power of the Spirit Void Finger at the new height allowed Han Yi to gain some confidence in self-protection.

“This power definitely reaches the Qi Cultivating sixth layer or even the peak of the sixth layer.”

Han Yi looked at his Proficiency Panel at this moment, feeling a surge of warm emotion in his heart.

[Name: Han Yi]

[Lifespan: 21/89]

[Realm: Middle Stage of Qi Cultivating (78/100)]

[Method: Fire Profound Skill (Proficient 17/100)]

[Skills:

Alchemy Skill (Enter the Hall 63/100)

Spirit Void Finger (Mastering 1/100)

]

After four months of hard work, the entire Panel looks completely refreshed.

Thanks to the uncostly usage of Spirit Stone, his realm advancement to the middle stage of Qi Cultivating also reached 78/100.

And his basic Fire Profound Skill has crossed from beginner level to the new level, becoming proficient.

As for skills.

Alchemy Skill is still at the “Enter the Hall” stage.

While Spirit Void Finger has already surpassed the Alchemy Skill, entering a new realm – Mastering.

Spirit Void Finger at the realm of Mastering, its formidable power has greatly impressed Han Yi.

“I still have a month to go.”

“I need to prepare for two fronts.”

“On one hand, use the Spirit Stone, no, not just the Spirit Stone, but also the Nurturing Qi Pill directly for cultivation, striving to reach the fourth layer of Qi Cultivating.”

“Secondly, along with that set of three low-grade dagger-shaped magical weapons, learn Sword Control Skill as a second move apart from the Spirit Void Finger.”

Han Yi’s plan was clear, and instead of expanding his confidence after a breakthrough, he remained extremely steady.

Moreover, he decided to start using the Nurturing Qi Pills as an aid for cultivation.

The effect of Nurturing Qi Pill is more efficient and milder compared to the Spirit Stone when converted into the body’s magic power.

The enhancement of a single Nurturing Qi Pill is a lot less than a single Spirit Stone, but its effect is more efficient for breaking into the middle stage of Qi Cultivating, thus in the market, a single Nurturing Qi Pill is priced around one and a half Spirit Stones because of the pill’s characteristics.

“There’s another important decision that needs to be made on top of these two preparations.”

“That is, regardless of whether I can make a breakthrough or how far I can progress in learning Sword Control Skill, I need to leave Mengshan City ahead of time.”

Based on his own understanding of the situation, he doesn’t know who else in Mengshan City bears malicious intent towards him.

But he had a feeling that he couldn’t stay here.

And to leave, of course, it’s best to leave suddenly when people least expect it.

Even if there are people who intend to harm him, they would also be caught off guard because of his sudden departure.

With this in mind, Han Yi decided to set off for the sect half a month early.

That is, he still has a month’s time.

Next.

Han Yi continued to cultivate diligently.

Spirit Stone, Nurturing Qi Pill, all were fully utilized.

Yet just three days later, he stopped, his brow furrowed.

“No, this won’t work, my previous thoughts were too naive.”

“The progress is too slow. According to the current pace of practice, not only won’t I be able to break into the fourth layer of Qi Cultivating, but I also won’t make much progress in Sword Control Skill.”

“We cannot rush, we must not rush.”

“Wanting this and that, clearly, is overly idealistic.”

“Moreover, even if I could break through to the fourth layer of Qi Cultivating, I wouldn’t be able to stabilize my cultivation base, but would instead affect my control over magic power due to a recent breakthrough thus could lead to the instability of the strongest Spirit Void Finger and might even hurt myself.”

After thinking for a while, Han Yi decisively gave up on the breakthrough in cultivation base, instead switching to cultivating Sword Control Skill.

In that alley, he killed Jiang De, who was higher than his own cultivation base, with his Qi Cultivating third-layer cultivation base by relying on Magic Skill.

Cultivation base is obviously important, but Magic Skill is the key to overcoming stronger opponents.

First, he took out the incomplete Sword Control Skill he bought from the Lei family market place, then he took the Scripture Transmission Jade Plate and placed it on his forehead.

Suddenly, several Magic Skills surged into his mind, along with it came a guiding voice.

This is the Scripture Transmission Jade Plate.

Of course, this kind of jade plate belongs to the lowest level of single-use jade plates. Once used, it will turn into a waste stone.

Better quality Scripture Transmission Jade Plates can even exist permanently, without limitation on usage. That’s one of the foundations of major sects.

A moment later, after putting down the depleted jade plate, he took out a dagger-shaped magical weapon and put it on his knee, leaning an arm on the dagger.

The magic power inside his body, as depicted in the Magic Skills, began to flow into the dagger.

In the beginning, he felt a sense of rejection and heaviness.

This was the magical weapon’s repelling of him.

Han Yi was not impatient, but continued to transfer the magical power into the dagger.

Three days later.

The dagger on his knee began to move.

Seven days later.

The dagger took off, swinging around wobbily.

Eighteen days later.

The dagger hovered inside the quiet room, leaving trails of Spirit Marks.

On a clear morning a month later.

A crisp sound came from the rarely opened courtyard door. A figure stepped over the threshold, operated the Array disc at the door to close the Array again, then collected the Array disc and walked in a certain direction, leading directly to the city gate.

This person was Han Yi, of course.

He had considered leaving at night, but Mengshan City has regulations that not even cultivators are allowed to enter or leave the city at night. Once caught attempting to break in, they could be killed on the spot.

Today is the day he planned to return to the sect early. As for when he returns to the sect, he has already decided on where to go.

In Xuandan Sect’s outer and inner peaks, there are cultivation rooms for rent. The cultivation rooms are built on the Spirit Vein nodes of the mountain peaks, where Spirit Energy is much more abundant than other places.

The cultivation rooms are clearly beneficial, but the downsides are just as clear, as they are expensive, and excessively so.

For instance, the cultivation room on Little Lingxu Peak costs one Spirit Stone per day to rent, which is astronomical to most low-level Qi Cultivating disciples.

So, the cultivation rooms on the outer peak usually only attract Qi Cultivating fifth or sixth layer disciples who are willing to invest heavily in trying to break through to the next realm.

It will take about five days to get to the sect, so he would need to rent a cultivation room for about ten days, totaling ten Spirit Stones.

This expense, in terms of importance, is far less significant than his own safety. He knows what’s at stake, so he’s naturally willing to fork out the money.
