C9 Pill Pavilion

It was now in the middle of winter. Even though there was no icy cold weather here in South Vietnam, the entire world seemed extremely desolate, as if all the vitality here was being restrained and it was waiting for spring to break out.

In the dead of night, Lei Yang meditated in his bedroom. It was quiet outside the window, but his heart was unable to calm down for a long time.

At this moment, in his bedroom, his brows were knitted tightly, and a look of worry appeared on his face. In two months time, it would be the Family Competition's time, and it was at this time that something went wrong with his cultivation.

It could be said that Lei Yang's cultivation had never slackened in the past two months, and his cultivation was even more desperate than before. But the result he obtained was the cultivation of the Spirit Qi s inside his body.

Furthermore, the more he fell, the more powerful the fall became, causing his original level of cultivation, which was at the peak of the fourth level of the Spirit Qi, to no longer have three levels left.

"Why are Spirit Qi gradually decreasing and disappearing?" Lei Yang muttered to himself. While he was feeling anxious, he could not come up with an explanation for this matter.

He had carefully checked his body before, the Qi Sea were intact and his body was in perfect condition. He had carefully examined every place where he thought there might be a problem, but no matter what, he could not find any clues.

Only the orb of continuously revolving golden energy within the Qi Sea was still devouring the Spirit Qi inside it, and then continued to purify it.

Lei Yang had sensed that although Qi Sea s and cultivation had decreased, their true combat strength had still increased.

He could feel that the purified Spirit Qi's attack power was many times stronger than the Spirit Qi in the outside world who had directly absorbed the Qi Sea. Although it looked like his cultivation was not at the third level of the Spirit Qi, in reality, he was comparable to the peak of the fifth level Spirit Qi.

Of course, what made Lei Yang worried wasn't his battle power, but the fact that he had to reach the fourth level of the Spirit Qi in order to pass the clan test. The fourth level of Spirit Qi was like a threshold. If one was unable to pass this threshold, even if one's battle prowess was monstrous, in the end, everything was in vain.

"Golden Vortex, Spirit Qi... "Reduced?" In the bedroom, Lei Yang muttered to himself while pondering. Suddenly, his pupils constricted as though he had thought of something.

"Oh, yes! Father once said before, the quality requirements of the Stellar Sea's Spirit Qi are very high. Could it be that the Golden Vortex purified the Spirit Qi, causing the number of Spirit Qi in the Qi Sea to decrease gradually, resulting in the decline of one's realm? "

Lei Yang quickly walked in the room, and when he thought about the exhaust gas that was being continuously expelled, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, "It must be so, it must be so!" Lei Yang felt like he had found a new continent, and spoke with certainty.

However, his gaze immediately dimmed down again. Although the problem had been found, how was he going to solve it? This was yet another thorny problem.

"Father also said that the Astral Sea is a bottomless pit, and needs to continuously transport Spirit Qi for it. However, relying on the Bridge of Heaven and Earth to attract far less Spirit Qi, what should we do? Could it be that we really have to go to the Pill Pavilion? Father said that unless it was absolutely necessary, it would be best not to rely on medicinal pellets, or else there would be repercussions. "

Lei Yang's eyes flickered, showing some hesitation, but if he could not solve the problem of dropping realms, it would make him extremely passive.

There were many heaven's pride level experts among the disciples of the clan. Just the direct descendants he knew of had already reached the peak of the sixth level of Spirit Qi.

As a disciple of the Lei Family, who wouldn't want to appear in the Family Competition?

With his current fighting strength, although he could not earn a place for himself among these people, he was still able to attract the attention of the clan. However, if he did not fight now, he would be blocked outside the clan's gate.

Although Lei Yang did not have the heart to win, when he thought about how his parents had suffered from the cold stares from their people all these years, he could not stay still any longer. After a while, he clenched his fists and muttered to himself: "Perhaps I can do this, and first prepare the pellet here, and when the time comes when I really need it, I can consume it.

Looking at the date, tomorrow was Pill Pavilion's monthly Pill Release Day. Alright, tomorrow I will go to Pill Pavilion. After making up his mind, Lei Yang immediately sat cross legged and began to use the bridge of heaven and earth to receive Spirit Qi s, in order to adjust his own state to its best.

In these two months, as he became more and more proficient with the Thunder Fist, he gradually discovered that the Thunder Fist was simply too berserk with the addition of his spiritual energy.

When he was training at the back mountain, he used the Thunder Fist when he was using his physical body and the cultivation of Spirit Qi, causing the space to explode. Its power was like a mountain collapsing and the ground cracking, with just the first punch, he destroyed a whole forest.

At that time, a large piece of ancient wood fell, and leaves and limbs flew everywhere. Smoke and dust soared into the sky, and ten thousand jin boulders were turned into fine powder. The scene was terrifying and terrifying.

As his fist struck out, an indescribably powerful aura spread out in an instant. Although it was only for an instant, it still caused the surrounding beasts and birds to tremble in fear and remain dormant.

This kind of strength, this kind of terrifying aura, would probably cause even a sixth floor of Spirit Qi to be crippled by a single punch, without any surprise.

However, it was a Core Formation technique after all, and its flaws were obvious. With Lei Yang's current cultivation level, it was extremely difficult to sustain, and even though it was just a fist, the amount of cultivation consumed was astonishing.

After that punch, his entire body would be instantly drained, and he would immediately sink into an incomparably weak state. He would be facing the Thunder Fist's fatal weakness.

Therefore, if one's attack failed in a fight, then one could only wait for death. Therefore, it was impossible to use it as one wished. However, it was not impossible to use the trump card to win in a fight.

Because of the Thunder Fist's fatal flaw and his father's repeated warning, Lei Yang had no choice but to go to the clan's Scripture Pavilion and choose two sets of shallow cultivation techniques suitable for the fourth level of Spirit Qi s to cultivate.

One set of Six Corporeal Fist and one set of Spirit Controlling Finger.

Spirit Subduing Finger focused on agility and speed. Its attacking methods were varied and agile, and it used the finger wind created by Spirit Qi to attack from between the fingers. As a method of attack, it was suitable for use from a distance.

On the other hand, the Six Corporeal Fist, which was composed of strong and overbearing inner force, had a huge advantage when it came to close quarters combat. Lei Yang's body had the power to defy the heavens, so he chose this technique on purpose.

Although the changes in these two shallow cultivation techniques weren't all that diverse, under the control of Lei Yang's heaven opposing fleshly body and the purified Spirit Qi, he was still able to unleash a considerable amount of power.

When he was cultivating in the back mountain, he had used the Finger of Subjugation to easily pierce through the rock wall, and with the help of his heaven-defying physical strength, he had directly punched through the rock wall.

Moreover, during this period of hard work, both of his cultivation techniques had improved by leaps and bounds. Adding on Lei Yang's diligence, he had finally obtained some small achievements. If adding the Thunder Fist as his trump card, even if he were to participate in the Family Competition s, he had more or less gained some confidence. At the very least, his current attack methods were not a simple one.

After a night of silence, Lei Yang woke up early in the morning. He felt refreshed, all the fatigue in his body had disappeared, his eyes released a bright light, and then he jumped up and tidied himself up, walking out of the courtyard door, heading straight towards the Pill Pavilion at an extremely fast speed.

Although the size of the Pill Pavilion was not big and there were not many disciples, they were above the Law Enforcement Hall. They were not restricted by the Law Enforcement Hall and could only listen to the orders of the previous patriarchs, thus, one could see the high status of the Pill Pavilion in the clan.

The disciples of the Pill Pavilion were mainly responsible for refining pills and collecting spirit herbs. When they had free time, they would organize the heaven and earth treasures that were collected by the various families, and other than Spirit Stones, all other cultivation resources would be taken into the Pill Pavilion. They seemed to be doing some chores, but ordinary people were unable to enter the Pill Pavilion at all.

All the disciples of the Pill Pavilion must possess astonishing talent in the field of medicine and medicines. Although they may appear to be busy with odd jobs, unable to spare too much time to cultivate, all of their cultivations were unfathomable. Furthermore, they possessed the ability to refine pills, making them extremely popular within the clan.

I heard that the elder of the Pill Pavilion, Lei Yunzi, was the most mysterious out of all the clan elders, his skills in alchemy are extremely outstanding.

Even if it was an ordinary pellet that he refined, it would cause people in the clan to frantically fight over it. A good pellet was even harder to find, and it could be said that Lei Yunzi had an extremely high reputation in the clan, that many people who wanted to break through would need his help. It was said that even the arrogant Law Enforcement Hall's elder, Lei Kaishan, was rather wary of him.

Even the direct descendants of the Lei Family could only enter the Pill Garden (The Pill Garden was a garden that was built around the Pill Pavilion and contained the disciples of Pill Pavilion to refine pills and grow spirit herbs), but it was also a place that the disciples of the Pill Pavilion could only enter after a set time.

The fifteenth day of the month was the free release of medicinal pills for the disciples of the Spirit Qi s. At that time, the Pill Garden would be open for business.

Lei Yang did not have any cultivation in the past, so he had never dared to come here to retrieve pills. Now, as he grew closer and closer to the pill garden, anticipation rose in his heart.

"It is said that the Pill Garden is extremely mysterious. It only opens once a month and there are many spiritual herbs growing inside. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi are several times richer than outside. I wonder if that's true?" As Lei Yang walked along the ancient bluestone path covered by ancient trees, a garden made of bluish gray stones appeared before his eyes.

The garden was not very big, and it was located in the center of Lei Family Garden. The walls were not very high, and at the center of the garden, there was an ancient gray stone tower. It was the Pill Pavilion.

Although it was still early in the morning, the vermillion door to the pill garden had long since opened. As more and more disciples of the clan walked in, Lei Yang also walked forward.

But just as Lei Yang was about to follow the bustling crowd into the pill garden, a young man in purple clothes in front of him was ejected out of the door with a bang sound.

Lei Yang was shocked, and subconsciously took two steps back. Previously, it was obvious that there was nothing at all, but why would a light screen formation suddenly appear?

Lei Yang was wondering in his heart, but suddenly heard a disciple beside him say with ridicule: "Haha, trash that doesn't even reach the third floor of the Spirit Qi, you want to sneak in? Let's go back and cultivate for two years first!"

"That's right, this kind of trash is worthy of coming to the Pill Garden!"

After the few disciples finished speaking, they swaggered in, leaving the violet-clothed youth with a face full of dust who was blankly standing on the spot.

His appearance was rather miserable. When he heard the mockery from the others, his face immediately flushed red and he was in an extremely awkward situation. Finally, he shook his head helplessly as he looked at the main entrance of the Pill Garden and silently left.

This time, Lei Yang completely understood that although the Pill Garden's door looked to be unguarded and there were no disciples guarding it, but in reality, there was an invisible light barrier that tested the cultivation level of a person. If one's cultivation was not even at the third level of Spirit Qi, they would be blocked outside the door.

He quickly confirmed his cultivation. After last night's hard work, his cultivation had barely reached the third floor, but this matter could not be delayed. After confirming his cultivation, Lei Yang did not hesitate and quickly stepped into the pill garden.

As Lei Yang stepped in, a wave of nature Spirit Qi that was several times richer than the ones outside the garden assaulted him. Although the area of the pill garden was not very large, there were countless spiritual medicines and spiritual herbs growing inside. Although they were common spiritual medicines and spiritual herbs, their quantity caused the entire courtyard to be filled with an intense medicinal aroma. As soon as the fragrance entered the stomach, everyone's spirits were lifted, as if their entire person had ascended to a higher level in the blink of an eye.

"Strange, could it be that this pill garden is protected by a formation? Just now, I didn't smell even the slightest bit of medicinal fragrance or feel any dense Spirit Qi s, and the moment I stepped into the garden, I actually felt that the sky and earth had changed. It seems like the mysteriousness of this Pill Pavilion isn't limited to just the rumours I've heard.

While thinking, Lei Yang followed the limestone path in front of him, and slowly walked forward. After breaking through, his appearance had changed greatly, so he was not afraid of being recognized easily.

Passing through a few medicinal fields, passing through an ancient forest, a small plaza impressively appeared in front of Lei Yang.

In the center of the plaza, there was a grey tower made of stone, standing steadily in the middle of the plaza. The tower was eight stories high and was entirely grey.
