Chapter 142: Late Qi Refinement Stage

This Gu Lian has a story! Will helping him refine an artifact bring any trouble?

After listening, Wang Yu thought this way for the first time.

However, when he looked at the medicine bottles in the other party's hand again, he felt that taking a little risk didn't seem like much.

After all, one top-grade Essence-Increasing Pill could save him three years of bitter cultivation, not to mention the three mid-grade ones, which could also save a lot of time spent on tasks.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu finally made a decision in his heart. After nodding at Gu Lian, he said:

"Alright, since Brother Gu is so sincere, then Wang will agree to this matter. But there is only one condition: if I truly refine the eleven-spirit-pattern artifact Brother Gu wants, I hope the remaining reward will include another top-grade Essence-Increasing Pill."

"Haha, that is no problem. As long as Junior Brother can refine that artifact, besides one top-grade Essence-Increasing Pill, I will pay an extra ten thousand spirit stones as a reward." Gu Lian was overjoyed upon hearing this, immediately promising with a pat on his chest, and throwing the medicine bottles in his hand directly over.

Wang Yu caught the medicine bottles, and a smile also appeared on his face. With this top-grade pill, his advancement to the seventh level of Qi Refinement was almost just around the corner.

Gu Lian agreed with him on the time to refine the artifact and the means of contacting each other, then took his leave with satisfaction.

Wang Yu also flew back to Yin Linglong's side. Not long after, several people boarded the black iron boat and flew away into the distance.

Half a month later.

Wang Yu returned to the sect and came to his temporary residence. He put the two young crocodiles he had been carrying with him to cultivate affection back into the water pool nearby, then returned to the stone house and sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion.

He could finally attempt to break through to the late stage of Qi Refinement now. Two top-grade pills could save him six years of time, and with seven mid-grade Essence-Increasing Pills, advancing to the seventh level of Qi Refinement was more than enough. He just hoped he wouldn't encounter a bottleneck that was too difficult to break through.

Wang Yu thought this way, took out a mid-grade Essence-Increasing Pill from his bosom, then closed his eyes and began to silently circulate the sixth-level Fire Spirit Technique incantation. Not long after, patches of red light began to emerge on his body.

Three days later, he took the second mid-grade Essence-Increasing Pill.

Six days later, the third one.

Half a year later.

Wang Yu sat motionless on the meditation cushion, his body shrouded in a layer of crimson light barrier, with twelve crimson spirit patterns constantly swimming on the surface of the barrier.

Suddenly, Wang Yu's body trembled, and the crimson light barrier expanded rapidly like a balloon, growing larger and larger, almost three or four times its previous size, and the crimson spirit patterns on the surface began to flash crazily.

With a thunderous "Boom,"

the crimson light barrier exploded, turning into streams of flames that rolled wildly in all directions. Wang Yu, who was sitting inside, suddenly opened his eyes and flicked his sleeve. The flames that had rolled out immediately rolled back like a tide, all of them disappearing into his body without a trace.

Following this, the spiritual energy fluctuations on his body began to surge rapidly. In the blink of an eye, they had more than doubled compared to before. At the same time, his eyes flashed with crystal light, and his spiritual sense power also began to rise all the way.

This is...

Wang Yu was surprised to find that his spiritual power had increased by more than twenty percent.

You must know that his spiritual power was already six or seven times that of a cultivator of the same rank. Now, an increase of twenty percent was equivalent to directly increasing the entire spiritual power of a cultivator of the same rank.

Is this the gap between the seventh level of Qi Refinement, which is the late stage of Qi Refinement, and the mid-stage of Qi Refinement?

Whether it is mana or spiritual sense, there has been a qualitative leap.

Then, to what terrifying extent will the amplification of the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Refinement, and the perfection of Qi Refinement, reach?

He could finally understand why the old man at the perfection of Qi Refinement during the competition could emit such terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations.

However, this time, with the help of the flame power of the flame barrier to stimulate him, he still broke through the sixth-level bottleneck very easily, not like what was recorded in some cultivation notes in the Scripture Pavilion, where it would trap one for a year or even several years.

He guessed that this mostly had something to do with his astonishing spiritual power or his top-grade Fire Spirit Root.

In any case, this was a great thing for him. Now that he was a cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refinement, he could finally carry out some plans he had long ago.

First, he needed to become an official artifact refiner.

With this status, his position in the Four Symbols Sect would immediately be very different. He would leap into the middle level of the sect, not only being able to apply for an independent artifact refining room but even being able to expand his residence and turn it into a true independent cave dwelling.

With his own artifact refining room, he could refine his own custom-made ranked artifacts. With custom-made artifacts, the increase in his strength would be almost immediately visible.

Secondly, after his spiritual sense increased, his spiritual sense sea also became larger. He should be able to condense the 'Gold Needle Technique' spell mark that he had already thoroughly understood. This spell is a metal-attribute spell, and it is a perfect match for his Gold-Pointing Technique. He had long wanted to solidify this spell mark in his spiritual sense sea.

With his late-stage artifact refining cultivation, he could barely use ranked spells as regular spells, without worrying about not having enough mana after casting a spell once or twice.

Finally, now that he was at the late stage of Qi Refinement, he didn't need to consider raising his cultivation level again for the time being, and he had the confidence to participate in the Four Sects Dharma Assembly. Therefore, he had to use every means to improve his strength in the remaining time.

The fastest way to improve strength, besides the exclusive ranked artifacts and condensing the 'Gold Needle Technique' spell mark he had planned earlier, was to cultivate the third level of the Black Tiger Breathing Technique and complete the Black Tiger Evil Body.

After Wang Yu finished thinking, he did not hesitate, directly leaving the stone room and heading straight for the Artifact Refining Hall of the General Affairs Hall.

"What? You are already at the late stage of Qi Refinement and want to apply to be an official artifact refiner?" In a geothermal artifact refining room, Master Sun asked Wang Yu in surprise.

"Yes, Master Sun. The disciple believes that I have already mastered the method of refining ranked artifacts, so I want to apply for an independent artifact refining room and become an official artifact refiner." Wang Yu replied respectfully to the old man in front of him.

This Master Sun, although he was only his master in artifact refining, had indeed taught him artifact refining techniques with all his heart, teaching him all the artifact refining secret techniques, unique inscriptions, and techniques he knew.

Otherwise, even if he had astonishing talent in inscribing inscriptions, he would never have been able to progress so quickly in artifact refining.

"Although I knew this day would come soon, I didn't expect it to be so fast.

Wang Yu, are you really sure you want to apply to be an official artifact refiner now? You must know that to be recognized by the sect, you must personally craft a ranked artifact under the witness of three official artifact refiners, and you only have one chance. If you don't pass, you can only apply again three years later." Master Sun was full of emotion, but finally reminded him. ===== CHAPTER 143 =====
