C50 Early qi refining

River City was the southernmost city of Shangjing County. River City was situated between two large counties, and was located near the second largest river in Tang Dynasty. It was an important transportation location, and it was bustling with noise and excitement.

The goods transported from the south would have to cross the Angry River in order to arrive at Shangjing County. The Angry River located at River City had a gentle flow, and its waterway was well-developed. Thus, other than the Shangjing s, the River City became the most bustling city in the entire Shangjing County.

In one of River City's biggest restaurants, Fang Yunlong was wearing a cyan scholar's robe and sitting close to the window. Fang Yunlong savored the slightly sweet taste of the rice wine, looking at the bustling River City from top to bottom.

After five days of trekking, Fang Yunlong finally made it out of the eight hundred hillside. He immediately bought a horse, sped rapidly south, and finally arrived at River City today. He planned to eat at a restaurant. After a short rest, he would find a boat and cross the Raging River.

After separating from Yimeng and the others, Fang Yunlong used all of his time to practice the dual purpose skill. Although he couldn't yet reach the stage where he could practice cultivation while walking on one side, it was still possible to read books while flying forward at a fast speed.

So in this period of time, Fang Yunlong had been studying the《 Gold Forging Arts》 he had obtained from Spirit Master Tian.

When Fang Yunlong first opened the book, he was shocked, then overjoyed. At that time, he almost bumped into a tree and thought that the < < Gold Coin Art > > was actually a book that cultivated to the level of immortality! I wonder how Daoist Tian obtained it.

However, the biggest doubt appeared in front of Fang Yunlong. Spirit Master Tian's performance did not seem like that of someone who had already studied immortal arts. Fang Yunlong had also seen many fairy novels, movies, and novels on the web before.

Immortals were all far stronger than mortals. Those who had learned immortal arts could turn the beans into soldiers, move mountains and overturn the seas, summon the wind and rain, and roam the world.

Thinking back to Daoist Priest Tian's performance, he could not be compared to an immortal. Could it be that Daoist Priest Tian did not have immortal affinity, or perhaps the Spiritual Root in the novels had never successfully cultivated it?

Thinking of this, Fang Yunlong was both happy and worried. He was overjoyed that he had such a good opportunity to become an immortal. What he was worried about was that if he did not have the immortal affinity or a Spiritual Root, wouldn't he be wasting his time?

After fighting for a long time in his mind, Fang Yunlong finally made up his mind. It didn't matter if he had Immortal karma or not, since there was such an opportunity in front of him, he had to try it out.

With the perturbed feeling in his chest, Fang Yunlong picked up the < Gold Forging Arts > and started to study it. The book mentioned that the < Gold Forging Arts > was a technique cultivated by those with metal attribute Spiritual Root. Amongst Immortal cultivators, there were a total of twelve levels in the Qi Condensation stage, compared to twelve levels corresponding to the [Gold Forging Tactic].

The first three levels were considered the initial stages of the Refinement Stage, and were only the basic methods to guide the beginner cultivators in absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world and accumulating it. As long as one entered the early stages, it was clear that they could cultivate.

On the other hand, if one couldn't absorb spiritual energy and couldn't enter the early Qi Condensation stage, then they wouldn't be able to cultivate. Of course, as long as a cultivator used the Body Searching Technique on a mortal, they would know whether they could cultivate it or not.

From the fourth level to the sixth level was the intermediate level of the Qi Refining stage. It mainly explained how to use spiritual energy, and it also explained how to absorb spiritual energy.

It could absorb spiritual energy even faster. Each of these three levels had corresponding spells to learn. Among them, the probing technique was learned on the fifth level.

From the seventh to the ninth layer were the late Refinement Stage techniques. At this stage, there were many more techniques that could be used and the power was also greater than that of the middle stage. They could also control magic tools to attack and defend themselves.

The last three levels were at the great circle of perfection of the Refinement Stage. They mainly guided the Refinement Stage cultivators on how to better accumulate the spiritual energy they absorbed from the outside, and how to gradually compress the liquid spiritual energy in their dantian. Spells of this level were mainly auxiliary spells.

Fang Yunlong didn't know whether he had a Spiritual Root or not, and he didn't know what kind of Spiritual Root he would be.

Let's try it out first. Even if he couldn't cultivate, it would only mean that he didn't have a metal attribute Spiritual Root. Fang Yunlong comforted himself first.

The metal element spiritual energy of the five elements in the world had the pride of the five elements and was extremely powerful. When absorbing spiritual energy, one needed to calm their heart and calm their heart before it could be formed.

Therefore, at night, Fang Yunlong changed the inner force skills that he had to learn into the simple "Circulatory Cycle", which was enough for him to spend the rest of his time to cultivate the "Gold Forging Tactic".

Fang Yunlong couldn't help but to praise the God of Fate's favor towards him. Fang Yunlong was pleasantly surprised to find out that he could completely follow the method of luck described in the《 Gold Forging Arts》 and circulate it successfully on the third night.

After absorbing a trace of metal-attribute spiritual energy from his body, although this trace of spiritual energy was only as thick as a hair, it still made Fang Yunlong wild with joy. After all, this had brought Fang Yunlong great hope for cultivation.

Ever since he realized that he could absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world, Fang Yunlong had been in a state of obsession.

Moreover, after buying the horses, he had been constantly absorbing spiritual energy from them and had almost bumped into them on several occasions.

In a short period of time, when Fang Yunlong arrived at River City, Fang Yunlong was pleasantly surprised to find that he had already entered the first layer of the Gold Incantation. This meant that he had already become an early stage Refinement Stage cultivator.

Fang Yunlong could not help but look forward to see what kind of achievements he would have in the future as the gate to the Immortal Cultivation Realm has already been opened.

The Gold Incantation was used to absorb metal-type Qi from the meridians in the outside world. It was different from Fang Yunlong's inner force as it worked in the other meridians in his body. After entering the 1st level of the Refinement Stage.

Fang Yunlong could even feel a slight change in his body. His body had become lighter and more agile. His movement technique had improved greatly, and the power within his body had also become stronger. Moreover, he had become more proficient at using the Heaven Severing Art.

It had to be known that Heaven Severing was personally made by Fang Yunlong, who was almost linked to Heaven Severing by his bloodline, but the feeling Fang Yunlong had now was that when he was using Heaven Severing, he had a deeper understanding of the routes Heaven Severing was going to take.

However, Fang Yunlong was slightly puzzled by the strange Innate Qi. It was different from the circulation route of the Gold Forging Arts, but it was similar to the circulation route of Innate Qi. As its inner force grew stronger, it also grew stronger.

While Fang Yunlong had less time to cultivate, and used most of it to practice the Gold Forging Tactic, this Innate Qi was the same as his Inner Qi, there was no progress at all.

What exactly was this true energy? However, so far, it had been beneficial and harmless to him, and on several occasions, it had even been of great help to him.

Fang Yunlong who was carefully tasting the wine, upon thinking that he had already stepped into the ranks of cultivators, couldn't help but reveal a smile that came from the bottom of his heart.

A clamor of noise could be heard as the waiter walked in with a blue-clothed young man. The blue-clothed man looked to be around twenty years old and had a face full of arrogance. When he saw the customers in the restaurant, his lips curled into a disdainful smile.

When he saw Fang Yunlong, his sneer grew even wider, to the point where he snorted lightly. He then followed the waiter to a table and started drinking.

Towards such an arrogant youth, although Fang Yunlong did not have any good impressions of him, he would not take it to heart. Only when the young man let out a cold snort, Fang Yunlong's expression changed greatly as he felt an extremely heavy pressure pressing on his body.

However, there was only one layer of his body, and the weak metal attribute Spiritual Strength seemed to be uncontrollable as it weaved around inside his body. It made Fang Yunlong feel an intense discomfort as he was drenched in cold sweat.

It was as if he had just been fished out of the water. If not for that unknown flow of Innate Qi flowing along the route of the Gold Incantation, and gathering the Spiritual Strength that was scattered all over the place, Fang Yunlong would have been severely injured.

Fang Yunlong forced himself to sit still, thinking that this young man did not have any inner force skills, just by a cold snort, he was already this powerful, and to make him lose control of his Spiritual Strength, he must be a cultivator of a higher level than himself.

This person was a complete stranger, yet he had so easily killed him. It seemed like he wasn't a good person. He wasn't a match at all, and he still had thirty-six moves. Secretly sighing in his heart, Fang Yunlong no longer bothered with the blue-clothed youth, and stood up to leave.
