Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Changes in Three Years
Translator: 549690339
After reflecting on this battle experience,
Han Yi didn’t feel complacent about his victory, but rather felt a lingering fear.
Every battle carried risks.
If this time he had encountered a Late Stage of Qi Cultivating robbing cultivator, he would have most likely lost.
Even if he didn’t lose, it would be difficult to emerge unscathed.
In Han Yi’s estimation, he could probably win against a 6th layer of Qi Cultivating opponent, but of course, this was just an estimate, and the opponent might have strong moves as well. If the opponent’s powerful moves could restrain his own, the uncertainty would be even greater.
As for facing a 7th layer of Qi Cultivating opponent, he wouldn’t even entertain the thought of victory; being able to hold his own for a short time would already be considered quite an achievement.
Unless his Spirit Void Finger or Sword Control Skill breakthrough to a new level, Han Yi would not have the confidence to face a 7th layer of Qi Cultivating opponent head-on.
With this in mind, Han Yi activates the translucent red panel that appears before his eyes.
[Life Span: 25/99]
[Realm: Middle Stage of Qi Cultivating (6/100)]
[Techniques: Fire Profound Skill (Adept 29/100)]
[Skills:
Alchemy Skill (Mastering 48/100)
Spirit Void Finger (Mastering 90/100)
Sword Control Skill (Mastering 49/ioo)
Light Body Technique (Mastering 19/100)
]
Looking at the skills, all four of which had reached the Mastering level, Han Yi felt satisfied.
Over the past three years,
He had opportunities to acquire other skills, through official channels, markets, or even purchasing them from Little Lingxu Peak’s female cultivators with whom he was close.
But he didn’t.
He understood the saying “bite off more than one can chew” and acted accordingly.
Especially for Spirit Void Finger and Sword Control Skill, these two combat techniques complemented each other well. In real battles between cultivators, there was no such thing as a tug-of-war. Cultivator battles were full of rapid changes, with victory being decided in an instant.
Han Yi’s inner thought was to wait until these two techniques breakthrough to the next level of [Mastering], then consider adding other techniques.
He was bestowed the Light Body Technique by the master of Little Lingxu Peak, and since Han Yi happened to lack a body technique, he practiced it as well.
Moreover, during these three years, he traveled between multiple Outer Peak markets, deliberately cultivating this body technique and raising it to the level of [Mastering ]as well.
Unfortunately,
Once all skills entered [Mastering], the progression speed would drastically slow down and take much more time.
In the past three years, his most focused techniques, Sword Control Skill and Spirit Void Finger, had only reached 49/100 and 90/100, respectively; the progress was not as ideal as he would have liked.
Furthermore,
As for the Fire Profound Skill, it was a basic technique that impacted his realm cultivation progress, but he had not considered replacing it.
Later, he learned that this technique was suitable for building a foundation in Alchemy Skill for those with Fire Spirit Roots during Early Qi Cultivation and Middle Stage of Qi Cultivating.
He should wait until he reaches the 7th layer of Qi Cultivating before switching to other more advanced techniques. Xuandan Sect’s historical experience had proven this to be the correct path.
Hence, Han Yi didn’t insist on changing it and temporarily continued practicing this skill. In the three years, his Fire Profound Skill had also advanced from proficient to adept.
After reviewing his current status, Han Yi took out the storage bag he had grabbed from the robbing cultivator.
It took him half a day to erase the original imprint on the storage bag, and when he looked at its contents, his heart was filled with excitement.
There was a wide variety of items in the storage bag.
Han Yi took out things he was interested in.
More than 300 spirit stones, over a hundred pounds of spirit sand, lots of bottles and jars, talismans, array discs, and two unused scripture transmission plates.
These items, although not a huge fortune for someone like Han Yi who now had a net worth of over 2,000 spirit stones, were still exciting to obtain for free.
Han Yi didn’t examine the bottles, talismans, and array discs.
Doing so would take up too much time.
The thing Han Yi was short of the most was time. Instead of examining these, it would be better to practice his Spirit Void Finger and advance to the next stage as soon as possible.
Once he finished organizing items, he returned to his cultivation.
Unyielding cultivation and continuous supply of spirit stones were the foundation of his breakthrough to the 5th layer of Qi Cultivating in three years.
During this time, he focused on cultivating his Spirit Void Finger.
He was eager to see what the next level of “Mastering” would be like.
In the backyard of his courtyard, Han Yi had built a new practice room, using precious materials purchased at a high price that could withstand the attacks of the Spirit Void Finger. This was where he practiced the Spirit Void Finger daily.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day.
After tidying up, he went straight to the Small Guanhai Peak.
Over the past three years, he had traded with the female cultivators of Small Guanhai Peak seven or eight times and was considered an acquaintance.
This time, Chu Jinmo was not present, and Yan Ru received him instead.
After three years together, the explosively attractive female cultivator looked much friendlier with Han Yi and was no longer icy cold.
“Junior Brother Han Yi, have you reached the fifth level of Qi Cultivation?” Yan Ru, with her sharp eyes, noticed that Han Yi’s aura had reached the standard of the fifth level, which surprised her a bit.
“By a stroke of luck, just by a stroke of luck.”
Han Yi humbly said. The last time he came to Small Guanhai Peak was half a year ago, at the peak of the fourth level of Qi Cultivation.
Today, he has already had a breakthrough.
Yan Ru gave him a glance.
“This is not luck, it’s well-deserved.”
“It won’t be long before you break through to the sixth or even the seventh level of Qi Cultivation and join the Inner Peak, leaving the rest of us far behind.”
Yan Ru said with a touch of emotion.
Comparing oneself to others really hurts.
She had been stuck on the fifth level of Qi Cultivation for years and was still a long way from the sixth level.
“Junior Brother Han Yi, with your cultivation speed, if you’re willing, many junior sisters on Small Guanhai Peak would be interested in becoming your Dao partner.”
“Why not think about it?”
“Or is it that you can’t do it?”
Han Yi, who was walking shoulder to shoulder with her, nearly tripped and fell.
He turned to look at Yan Ru, only to see a rare teasing smile playing at the corners of her mouth, and he couldn’t help but wave his hands and laugh bitterly.
“Sister Yan, please stop making fun of me.”
“I really won’t consider the Dao partner matter for now.”
Han Yi firmly declined.
“Alright, I’m just joking, don’t mind it, let’s go. 1 hope you brought enough pills today.”
Yan Ru withdrew her rare smile, returning her face to its usual calm, and led him into a room.
Han Yi quickly followed: “I won’t disappoint Sister Yan.”
Half an hour later.
The two came out of the room, Han Yi with a satisfied look on his face and Yan Ru with a look of regret.
Han Yi was satisfied with the amount of Spirit Stones he had earned, a sizable sum.
As for Yan Ru, she regretted that the pills Han Yi offered were relatively few. With more than twenty sisters to distribute, each got only a small portion.
“By the way, Sister Yan, when will Sister Chu return?” Han Yi asked as he was about to leave.
Yan Ru shook her head: “1 don’t know either, she’s been away with Uncle Qi for a year now, there’s no exact word.”
Han Yi nodded and didn’t press the matter further as it involved the matters of Small Guanhai Peak, which he shouldn’t pry into.
“The next trade might have to be postponed. I’m at a bottleneck in my cultivation of a certain Magic Skill and want to close myself off for a while.”
“I can only trade again in about half a year.”
“Please convey my apologies to the other sisters of Small Guanhai Peak.”
Upon hearing this, the look of regret on Yan Ru’s face deepened. However, since it involved Han Yi himself, she could not force him.
Over the past three years.
The pills Han Yi had sold to Small Guanhai Peak had been highly sought after.
Nurturing Qi Pill, exorcise evil spirits pill, Focus Pill, and Breaking Stage Pill.
These four pills were extremely important for cultivators in the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivating.
Moreover, Han Yi’s pills were absolutely excellent value for money.
The regret was even more profound knowing that the next transaction could only take place in half a year.
After leaving Small Guanhai Peak, Han Yi first went to the Little Pan Stone Peak to look for Zheng Hai, but he couldn’t find him, so he had to go back to Little Lingxu Peak..
