24. First Level of Qi Refining

This time, Wang Yi didn't practice in the courtyard. Instead, he went to the outskirts with Li Qian. Not in front of his godfather and godmother, perhaps this would make them feel more at ease.

In front of him was a lake. The water was so clear that he could see the bottom. On the side was a towering tree. This place was really good.

Wang Yi sat cross-legged under the sun and began to practice.

Li Xi, on the other hand, sat under the tree and waited.

Feeling the surrounding spiritual energy, he had to say, it was much richer than in the courtyard.

Wang Yi didn't slack off. He hurriedly ran the cultivation chant. Qi entered his dantian and guided the spiritual energy to circulate in his meridians.

This time, he didn't separate the fire spiritual energy from the air. In the past half month, in addition to treating his injuries, he read the 《Cultivator's Entry Manual》 again and again. It said that as long as he absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, the useless gas would be naturally discharged by the human body. This also made his cultivation speed a lot faster.

Now it was noon, the fire spiritual energy in the air was much more than usual. Wang Yi didn't want to waste this precious golden time and greedily absorbed it into his body.

Unlike last time, when the spiritual energy entered his body, his whole body didn't turn red. It turned out that the five elements of spiritual energy reinforced and restrained each other. The spiritual energy neutralized each other. The high temperature of the fire spiritual energy was extinguished by the cold of the water spiritual energy, leaving only the mild spiritual energy for the cultivator to absorb.

Time slowly passed. Wang Yi who was immersed in cultivation felt the concentration of the fire spiritual energy he absorbed gradually decrease. He reluctantly absorbed the last trace of spiritual energy and slowly opened his eyes.

The hard work of the afternoon was not in vain. Now the spiritual energy in his body was dozens of times more than before.

Now he felt that he was different from before. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or the spiritual energy brought benefits to him.

"Xiao Qian, we should go back. If we don't go back, godfather and godmother will be worried again!" Just as he finished speaking, he looked under the tree. Li Qian had already fallen asleep in a daze.

It seems that Li Qian was really tired during this time.

He saw her holding her chin with both hands and leaning back against the tree trunk. Her face showed a satisfied expression. Maybe she was having a good dream.

Why don't I play a trick on this cheap sister of mine?

Wang Yi was still a young man without a family. Even though he had experienced several life and death situations, he still couldn't kill his playfulness.

He walked to Li Qian's side and gently picked up her hair. Thinking about how Li Qian would yawn in a while, he found it funny.

But … just as he held the hair in his hand, a shy voice interrupted him. "You, what are you doing …" Looking at her red apple-like cheeks, he felt embarrassed.

If he was the one who woke Li Qian up, then there was no need to explain. Li Qian would know that he was joking with her. But he didn't do anything, which made people have an impure guess.

"I, I'm killing a mosquito for you. It's such a big mosquito." That person hurriedly spouted nonsense. However, he didn't notice that there was nothing nearby.

Seeing Li Qian's "you're kidding a ghost" expression, he said, "Besides, why did you touch my hair to kill a mosquito?" He coughed awkwardly. "It's getting late, let's go back!"

However, on the way back, he noticed that Li Qian looked at him every time.

It was as if she was looking at a strange uncle.

This was what it meant to have a guilty conscience!

It was unknown if the heavens wanted Wang Yi to seize the time to cultivate, but for the next half a month, the sun was high in the sky.

On this day, the sun was especially fierce. Li Qian, who was enjoying the shade under a tree, looked at Wang Yi's tanned skin and felt a bit of heartache. In this half a month, Wang Yi had been cultivating bitterly under the scorching sun. His progress wasn't bad, and he was becoming more and more familiar with absorbing spiritual energy. His absorption speed was also becoming faster and faster.

"Ah!" A roar came from Wang Yi's mouth.

At this time, spiritual energy filled his meridians. The last bit of spiritual energy forced its way into his body, causing his meridians to swell, causing him to groan in pain. In the next moment, he returned to normal.

Slowly opening his eyes, the joy on his face fell into Li Qian's eyes.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask, she was stopped by her cheap brother.

Wang Yi flipped through the 《Cultivator's Beginner's Handbook》, which was a sign of a breakthrough.

"I broke through!" That's right, Wang Yi entered the first level of Qi Refining.

"Little Qian, I'm finally a true cultivator!" Wang Yi said excitedly, almost hugging Li Qian and jumping for joy.

Li Qian was also very happy. Wang Yi's hard work in this half a month finally paid off.

Hurriedly testing the results of his breakthrough, he used a Qi Refining first level skill towards the tree, the Firebird Technique.

This Firebird Technique was also learned from the 《Cultivator's Beginner's Handbook》. Because it was a berserk fire elemental skill, its power was much higher than other level one skills.

Of course, Wang Yi, this cultivation rookie, did not have the ability to turn it into the embryonic form of a bird, it was only a ball of flames.

He only saw a black mark left on the thick tree trunk.

In a spurt of energy, he once again began to cultivate the Firebird Technique. Finally, the Firebird Technique's power was much stronger than the first one.

"Okay, let's stop here for today. Let's go stroll around the streets."

Finally entering the first level of Qi Refining, the Firebird Technique also showed some results. Wang Yi naturally had to properly celebrate.

It was now evening, and there was an endless stream of people on the streets. There were people doing business, people brandishing swords and guns, and people selling their skills to earn money. All of them were shouting on the streets.

Speaking of which, this was their first time strolling around the streets. In the past, they had always been cultivating, and almost lost contact with this world.

"Customer, come and take a look at these accessories. If you buy them for your little wife to wear, her beauty will be increased by three points!" A peddler selling accessories walked in front of Wang Yi and started to promote his goods.

"Little wife?" Li Qian silently repeated these three words in her heart. She secretly glanced at Wang Yi and silently lowered her head.

Although Li Qian's face was currently covered, Wang Yi did not need to look to know that she must be as red as an apple right now.

Of course, Wang Yi would not have any resistance. He lightly smiled, "Okay, then let's take a look." Looking at the accessories on the table, hairpins, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, there were countless of them.

"Customer, take a look at this pair of jadeite lover rings. These rings are made from imitation of the Emperor and Empress Dowager's rings. If you buy one for your little wife and wear one, it means that your hearts are connected and you will grow old together …" Listening to the peddler's endless introduction, Li Qian's head was almost buried in the little white rabbit in front of her chest. But the peddler clearly did not have any awareness and continued to say some mushy words.

"Hehe, then let's have a pair!" Wang Yi really did have that kind of feeling towards Li Qian. Who wouldn't love a great beauty?

"Customer, fifty copper coins."

Taking advantage of Wang Yi taking out the money, Li Qian quickly glanced at him, "He likes me?

Is he hinting at me? "

"Come, Xiao Qian, I'll put it on for you." Saying this, he subconsciously pulled Li Qian's hand.

Li Qian's heart was in a mess at this time. She was still struggling between 'like' and 'hinting', so she did not hear Wang Yi's words at all.

Feeling someone touch her hand, she subconsciously withdrew her hand.

When they saw that the other person was Wang Yi, the two of them were stunned.

This little girl did not like him?

This was not logical!

If she did not like him, then why did she accompany him day and night when he was unconscious?

But in the next moment, he thought it through. Even a young girl in the 21st century would avoid a sudden confession, let alone a girl in the feudal world.
