Chapter 27 - The Eighth Stage Qi Foundation


After making up his mind, Lin Yan began to absorb the core of the Spear-Tailed Lion spirit beast. A powerful aura slowly leaked from the spirit beast core then seeped into Lin Yan's body. He felt a raging qi trying to destroy his Meridians.


When absorption was underway, this was the most critical moment because a cultivator had to focus all his attention on the absorption and digestion of qi. For other cultivators, usually the spirit beast core would be cultivated first. Even so, most cultivators would absorb it directly due to the high cost of cultivating the spirit beast core.


The cultivators usually felt pain because the spirit beast core would naturally leave the determination to fight back.


Inside Lin Yan's current body, the shadow of the Lion-Tailed Spear rampaged like it was trying to blow him up from within. However, there was a black-colored aura that suddenly appeared and instantly pounced on the energy.


Lin Yan was completely unaware of it, which he knew, the absorption process seemed to be much easier than what he had read in the manuals.


Not until 10 minutes later, the qi within Lin Yan's body grew denser. A gentle aura erupted slightly as he broke through to the seventh stage Qi Foundation level. But it was not finished at all, the qi that was absorbed by him was still left. He knew that the rest of the qi would not be able to make it through the next stage.


A moment later, all the energy present in the core of the Spear-Tailed Lion spirit star had been exhausted in absorption. Lin Yan opened his eyes and looked towards the spirit beast core in his hand that had turned into a crust that was instantly crushed into ashes after running out of energy.


“Not enough!” Lin Yan suddenly felt dissatisfied with the absorption of such qi. He immediately took out all the Earth Mushrooms and began to reabsorb them.


The Earth Mushroom turned into strands of qi that permeated into Lin Yan's body. Unlike the core of the Spear-Tailed Lion spirit beast, the Earth Mushroom did not possess any raging energy. The plant produces qi that is very pure and very compatible with the body.


A while later, the same thing repeated itself back when the qi on Lin Yan's body erupted after absorbing the seven Earth Mushrooms.


Lin Yan opened his eyes and smiled slightly. “Eighth stage Qi Foundation.” he was satisfied with his cultivation improvement.


However Lin Yan seemed to think a little. What was that? Why did he feel that something seemed to make him a little greedy? Lin Yan was puzzled for a moment, there was something on his body that made him seem to want to swallow anything if it had a qi that looked raging.


“Forget it, maybe it was just my feeling.” muttered Lin Yan and closed his eyes again. He continued cultivating for a few hours, after which he rested.


Days continued to pass and it had been two weeks since Lin Yan entered the Heavenly Dragon sect. He continues to do activities as usual, in the morning he will clean all the buildings. During the day, he would take on missions to complete.


In this time, Lin Yan had accumulated over 1,000 merit points. He continued to take C-class missions at once to train himself against spirit beasts.


“It's been over two weeks. Why is my body unwilling to break through the ninth stage Qi Foundation? The amount of qi I absorbed seemed to be huge. But I didn't even break through the next stage in a week.” Lin Yan who was walking towards the mission taking felt puzzled actually.


In his hunt in the forest of the first region, he must always find the Earth Mushroom at least two every day. He had absorbed all those resources but his cultivation had not broken through to the next stage until now.


Ignoring his thoughts, Lin Yan again took the mission. But this time there was no Class C mission. He was not at all interested in completing a class D mission because the number of merit points was very small and the tasks to be completed would also not increase his fighting ability.


Lin Yan moved in a certain direction and his goal was the weapon building. Each disciple would pick up a weapon in that place by exchanging it for merit points.


Banyak murid yang terlihat keluar masuk karena hampir semua murid pasti akan membutuhkan senjata jika masuk ke dalam hutan.


Arriving there, Lin Yan greeted the guard of the building. Naturally he would know him because almost all the Elders who were guarding a certain building were greeted by Lin Yan when he cleaned the building.


The gun building has three floors. The first floor usually provides weapons from a base price of 50 merit points. The second floor provides weapons with a base price of 300 merit points and the third floor provides weapons with a base price of 1,000 merit points.


Naturally Lin Yan who had around 1,200 merit points would directly ascend to the third floor in search of a weapon suitable for him. Only a few disciples were on the third floor and they all belonged to the strongest disciple category.


Due to the difficulty of tracking down the cultivation of opponents with the cultivation of the Qi and Houtian Foundation, then all that was there was only staring at Lin Yan warily. If it could go up to the third floor, then it was certain that the disciple had completed many difficult missions.


“Try us see.” Lin Yan first took out a sword. He played it a little bit and shook his head. He did not know why he did not like to use the sword.


Then Lin Yan's gaze was fixed on a saber, when he tried it, he didn't like it either.


After wandering around on the third floor for a while, Lin Yan's gaze was certain on the spear weapon. Such a weapon attracted Lin Yan and he immediately approached the spears neatly arranged.


“Hm..this.” Lin Yan took out a spear. His gaze looked sparkling as it was extremely fond of such a weapon.


“Almost all the quality of the spear in this place is almost the same.” Lin Yan returned the spear and looked towards the others closely.


Lin Yan's gaze was again fixed on a jet-black spear. He took the spear and was shocked for a moment.


“The weight of this spear seems to reach 200kg.” Lin Yan had a little trouble lifting the spear but he was very excited. The spear in his hand had one blade of two sharp sides. The length of the spear stick is about 1.2 meters with a blade of 0.3 meters. The bar looks wide and thick.


A frown appeared on Lin Yan's forehead as he watched the spear closely. “This spear has too much shape.”


Lin Yan wanted a heavy spear like that but wanted his spear to have a thin blade. But there was no such spear here as the blade of the spear adjusted the weight with its staff to be balanced.


The spear that Lin Yan wanted was actually very difficult to find. Therefore, Lin Yan made up his mind and brought a spear with him.
