Where does this sense of urgency come from?

It’s inevitable that he, a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator, can’t compete with the dispute caused by high-order cultivators.

Perhaps even a little aftermath of the dispute may harm the innocent.

The strength is the reason for Luo Chen’s urgency!

Although there is a sense of urgency in his heart, cultivation is something that can’t be hurried.

Luo Chen is still methodically refining pills and cultivating every day.

Of course, this is only his surface actions.

In private, he has stepped up his exploration of the Changyin Mountain. Previously it was only a few miles around, but in just a few days, he had explored an area of hundreds of miles.

According to his investigation, there were indeed fewer demon wolves in Changyin Mountain, and there was no second-order demon beast present.

It seems like they had migrated to other places.

Apart from a few Grey Leaf Wolves and Frostwolves remaining in Changyin Mountain, the only ones left were some relatively weak first-order demon beasts.

These demon beasts naturally could not detect Luo Chen’s Concealing Breath

Mantra.

And even if a uniquely talented first-order demon beast discovered him, it would not be his opponent.

With this convenience, Luo Chen naturally set up several hidden escape points. If anything happened to The Great River District, he too would be able to evade disaster at the first moment.

After alleviating his concerns, Luo Chen focused wholeheartedly on cultivation.

“Finally, at the eighth level of Qi Refinement!”

In the spirit vein cave, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, there was a faint flash of white light in the originally dim cave.

That was a sign of his deepening proficiency in the Spirit Vision Technique. After the sudden breakthrough in his realm, he initially did not control his spirit power well, hence he unintentionally activated the Spirit Vision Technique.

With a blink of his eyes, Luo Chen took a deep breath.

The breakthrough this time was later than he had expected by two days.

Of course, this was not a bad thing.

A thread of spirit power emerged at his fingertips; the originally pale, greenish glow was now faintly green after turning white.

And this faint green sheen of spirit power was the culprit that caused his realm to progress slower by two days.

According to Luo Chen’s conjecture, when the colour of the spirit power turns deep green, it would mean that it has been refined to its limit during the Qi Refinement Stage.

“Although I’m just at the initial eighth level, the purity of my refined spirit power is far superior than that of an ordinary rogue cultivator.” “Not to mention that my spirit power itself is much stronger than others of the same level. This way, I will have more advantages when competing against others of the same level!”

“I wonder, how does my spirit power stand up against the unfulfilled ninth level of Qi Refinement?”

Luo Chen began to ponder upon this question.

The cultivation in the late stage of Qi Refinement is fundamentally different from the early and middle stages.

The first two stages were about continuously breaking the limits of the Dantian to accommodate more spirit power.

In the late stage of Qi Refinement, although there is also a requirement to refine more spirit power, the focus is on refining the spirit power.

After a cultivator progresses to the seventh level of Qi Refinement, the Dantian will expand by one fold, then it will temporarily solidify. It will only expand again after progressing to the foundation establishment stage.

Therefore, the transition from the seventh to the eighth level of Qi Refinement involves filling up the expanded Dantian with spirit power.

Luo Chen has now completed this task.

The transition from the eighth to the ninth level of Qi Refinement involves a complete refinement of the spirit power.

It sounds simple.

But in fact, this is the most difficult part.

There are no specific methods for rogue cultivators to completely purify their spirit power due to two reasons.

Firstly, refining a bit of spirit power requires replenishing more spirit power to keep the Dantian full at all times.

The amount of resources required to do so is a large amount of Spirit Stones.

Ordinary rogue cultivators find it hard to afford this.

Among the more than ten thousand rogue cultivators in The Great River District, there are only a few hundred late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators, and only dozens reach the ninth level of Qi Refinement. This clearly shows the hardship they’ve endured.

Of these dozen people, most of them are as old as Sikong Shoujia.

They reached the ninth stage of Qi Refinement after grinding away for most of their lives.

But after reaching the ninth level, they did not have the power to strive for the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The ninth level of Qi Refinement that Luo Chen is familiar with, most of them are over sixty years old.

Luo Wudi, Yang Wei, Zhang Shicong, Mi Junping and Zang Wen.

These people, it’s almost impossible for them to establish the foundation. Unless someone gives them more than two foundation establishment pills. Relatively younger ninth level Qi Refinement cultivators mostly have some dependents as well.

The couple Qin Liangchen established a Spirit Fish Lake years ago, and used this as their source of income. It took them over a decade to progress to the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

Ke Yuelin from the Beast Hall consumed a Spirit Grass in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range and succeeded all at once.

As for Gu Caiyi, she was quite lucky.

She was always cultivating at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. Although she did not acquire the orthodox cultivation technique of the Hehuan sect, she occasionally received pointers from Lady Xiangxiang and foundation establishment cultivator Gong Huiqin, hence her progress was quite good. However, even so, she had to rely on the ascendant grade Dusting Pills rewarded by Fei Bowen for her lucky breakthrough to the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

“Back then, Sister Xiu Xiu must have been helped by her Dao companion cultivator to quickly reach the ninth level and even complete Qi Refinement!” That Dao companion cultivator comes from Yu Ding Sword Sect.

After he failed to establish the foundation, he was allocated to the external sect.

Originally, he was also seen as someone with a promising future. Naturally, they wouldn’t lack little tricks for refining pure spirit power.

Luo Chen felt sorry for this group of rogue cultivators. They had acquired cultivation techniques but those techniques were incomplete.

Just one or two steps away from establishing a foundation, this was what stuck them for ten or twenty years.

They lacked specific methods and could only fumble around bit by bit. Not knowing how to refine, they randomly swallowed elixirs, and tried to compress spirit power as an alternative way to refine it..
