After the exchange with his fellow disciples, Lin Yi followed his plan, continually improving his alchemy skills and his cultivation level of his techniques.

In order to pass the test of the Dan God Secret Realm, he had almost no time to cultivate other spell techniques, particularly the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind and Divine Shadow Dharma.

These two secret techniques required a substantial amount of time to cultivate, so he could only wait until he had passed the test of Dan God’s heritage to start cultivating them.

Gradually, nearly four more years passed. It was the six years since Lin Yi has left the Dan God Secret Realm, and the seventh year was very close.

During this lengthy period, his alchemy skills finally reached the Great Perfect Level of Intermediate, and the title of [Skilled Alchemist] was elevated to the full level of the third stage.

The current effect was; quality +30%, alchemy success rate +60%, speed

+60%, and the chance of obtaining alchemical flame also increased to 30%.

The Great Perfection of Intermediate alchemy skills, along with the title effect, meant he could make any Intermediate Pills, even the superior-grade pills, and his success rate was very high.

In this time, he refined pills thousands of times, among which, he refined more than three hundred furnaces of Supreme Gathering Spirit Pills, most of which were made after his alchemy title had been maxed out.

Thus, he acquired over eight dozen Flame of the Title and saved them up without using them.

Since most of the time was spent on alchemy, other titles had little to no change.

Among them, [Little Spiritual Farmer] was upgraded to the full level of the third stage, the title effect was; quality +30%, pest resistance +70%, yield

+30% (requires long-term use of spells that benefit plants), absorption speed +30%.

The title of [Intermediate Dung Cleaner] was raised to the second stage as he had been feeding Zhi Ling every day, and also feeding the Green Giant Python during his visit to the Dan God Secret Realm.

The effect became; animal affinity +30, favorability increase +60%, the success rate of feeding unfamiliar animals +60%, Spirit Pet Column +2 (animals fed long-term would have a 13% chance of awakening their ancestral bloodline).

Lin Yi was considering whether to get a monster beast cub from the Dan God Secret Realm, make it recognize himself as the master, put it in the Spirit Pet Column, and attempt to bring it out of the Secret Realm.

Driving the Spirit Boat to attend lectures in other Golden Core Lineages every day also increased the experience of the [The Road is at the Feet] title, bringing this title to four levels.

This was the second non-beginner category title upgraded to the fourth level, apart from [Fearless of Poison].

The current title effect of [The Road is at the Feet] was; speed +40%, evasion +40%, 20% chance to obtain a sprint (the speed boost of the title increases to 90%, lasts for 12 seconds, a cooldown of 5 minutes).

From the experience of the first title being upgraded to four levels, he knew that non-beginner class titles did not obtain new effects like beginner class titles do when advancing to the next phase.

The third title to reach the fourth level was [Grain Wisdom from One’s

Mistakes]. This title was frequently used, whether it was for the cultivation of techniques or for a breakthrough in one’s cultivation level, it was necessary to use this title to gain enlightenment.

Upon upgrading, the effect of granting one enlightenment opportunity after each failure remained the same, but the duration an enlightenment opportunity could be stored increased from six days to ten days.

The fourth title that had been upgraded to the fourth level was [Meaningless Fight and Kill].

For more than six years, he had hardly ever left the Cloud Sect, nor had he participated in any acts of violence, hence, the experience for the [Meaningless Fight and Kill] title was slowly increasing.

After leveling up to the fourth level, the effect of this title increased normally. All basic effects increased to 40%, and once he leaves a battle, they would increase to 90%. Furthermore, there was a 10% chance of triggering instant teleport.

Besides these titles, other titles didn’t see much change.

In these four-plus years, Lin Yi continuously attended lectures, yet there was no sign of the [Slacker] title progressing to the next phase.

His current cultivation level was at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Fourth Layer. He estimated that after breaking through to the Foundation Building Fifth Layer, there might be some changes.

After all, the best way to assess learning results is through tests, and breaking through realms for cultivators is equivalent to a major exam after years of cultivation. If one passes, the realm improves. If one fails, one continues to stay at the current level.

He planned to first break through to Foundation Building Fifth Layer, then complete the test of Dan God’s inheritance. Additionally, he would need to elevate his alchemy skills to high-ranking outside of the Secret Realm.

Because Elder Dan God would provide him with materials for ten Golden

Elixirs, he only had these ten opportunities. Just like the previous test in the Alchemy Room, the fewer materials he used, the higher his test evaluation would be.

It’s impossible for him to choose to take the test while he’s still at Great Perfection of Intermediate Alchemy. The risk would be too great.

Before the Great Perfection of Foundation Building Fourth Layer, Lin Yi had held several closed-door sessions, stating that he was preparing for a breakthrough in foundation building, but in fact, he continued to refine pills.

Each time he finished a closed-door session, he would go around outside, as if he was calming himself down after a failure.

Only after failing a few times then breaking through, would it seem normal to others. Otherwise, for him, a cultivator with Lower-grade spiritual roots, even if he has a Supreme-grade Foundation Building Pill, it would be astonishing if he succeeded in one try.

This closed-door cultivation was his fourth time. Lin Yi’s cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Building Fourth Layer during his third closed-door cultivation. For the last two closed-door sessions, he accumulated ten days of enlightenment opportunities each time, attempted to break through, but naturally he did not succeed..
