Chapter 48: Cultivating Qi Second Layer

  More than twenty days later, on an afternoon, in the only farmhouse of the three-layered Medicine Garden, the middle-aged man and Yu Qing sat on a small stool each, extremely casually in the yard. At first glance, they really didn't look like two cultivators.

  "Yu Qing, that little guy you recommended is quite interesting." The middle-aged man was playing with a purple jade object in his hand, looking very interested.

  "Sū chè." Yù Qīng nodded and said: "I heard that he is helping Linglong treat the Flowing Cloud Golden Basin."

  "He's almost completely cured." The middle-aged man said in a low voice: "I couldn't even do it, but he actually can..."

  Yu Qing said in a low voice, "Uncle, you don't think he's a spy cultivated by Lingyao Mountain, do you?"

  "Have you ever thought of this?" The middle-aged man smiled faintly.

  "A thought flashed through her mind." Yu Qing shook her head: "But it doesn't seem quite possible, he's too young and his cultivation is too low to bear such a heavy responsibility; besides, if he were really a spy, he should be more low-key... In short, I don't think he is."

  "Don't worry, he's not from Lingyao Mountain. This much I can be certain of." The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, staring at the purple jade object in his hand, and asked again, "In a few days, shouldn't you be going out for training?"

  "Yes, Great Uncle." Yu Qing nodded in response: "This time, it should be the Sealing Demon Domain."

  "In the Demon Sealing Domain......" The middle-aged man paused for a moment before saying, "Not bad! Alright, take Linglong and Suche with you."

  "Ah?" Yu Qing was taken aback and couldn't help but ask: "Great Uncle, the Demon Sealing Domain is fraught with danger, I don't even dare to guarantee my own safety..."

  "I have my own reasons, just do as I say." The middle-aged man waved his hand and interrupted him.

  ……

  Half an hour later, Yu Qing arrived at the bottom of the medicine garden and found Su Che.

  "Second layer of Qi Refining?" Yu Qing's eyes widened as she realized that Su Che had already reached the second layer of Qi Refining.

  "Brother Yuqing." Su Che stood up and paid his respects.

  "If I'm not mistaken, you've already reached the second layer of Qi Refining?" Yu Qing was indeed astonished, because when it came to Su Che's cultivation progress, he should be the most clear and understanding person. Three months ago, in the Blood Curtain Mountain Range, they first met, and he was just a self-taught disciple who hadn't even formed his True Qi yet. He didn't expect that he would reach the second layer of Qi Refining so quickly. This speed was much faster than his own from back then.

  "Senior brother, it's really quite a coincidence." Su Che smiled and said: "I also just got promoted this morning, and I haven't even left the house yet. The first person I see is you."

  "Not bad, not bad." Yu Qing nodded at him repeatedly.

  "Please sit down, senior brother." Su Che took out another meditation cushion and placed it on the ground.

  This thatched hut can be considered a home with only four bare walls, no bed, no table, and not even a single chair. Su Che indeed has some ascetic self-mortification style, too lazy to furnish his own place. As long as there is a place that can block the wind and rain, allowing himself to quietly cultivate, it's enough, whether it's a thatched hut, a mountain cave, or a magnificent grand hall, it feels about the same.

  Yu Qing sat down, Su Che said with a sincere expression: "Brother is really my benefactor! When I was promoted to the first level of Qi Refining, I benefited from the demon bear's flesh and blood that you left in the mountain valley; this time when I was promoted to the second level of Qi Refining, it was also thanks to Brother helping me become a disciple of the Medicine Garden, allowing me to freely absorb the rich essence of the plants and trees in the Medicine Garden. All of this, Su Che will forever remember in his heart."

  "I just lent a hand, all the achievements are the result of your own efforts." Yu Qing waved her hand lightly, her tone gentle and humble as always.

  This morning, Su Che surprisingly broke through to the second layer of Qi Refining with ease! Without any prior signs, he naturally crossed into the second layer during his daily routine cultivation.

  Of course, practicing Qi to the first and second layers is not very difficult and will not produce a qualitative change. It's just that the amount of true Qi stored in the Dantian, meridians, and entire body becomes slightly larger. Generally speaking, when the body is strengthened to a certain extent, the 'physical container' for storing true Qi becomes more solid, and when the amount of true Qi reaches a certain level, it will naturally advance to the second layer.

  Moreover, Su Che also underestimated the powerful medicinal effect of 'Dilinger Dan'. Compared to his previous expectations, this time he advanced at least half a month ahead of schedule. It's worth noting that many foundation-building cultivators choose to take Dilinger Dan when crossing the boundary barrier, which shows that the 'breaking through' effect of this elixir is extremely strong, and its effect on Qi-refining cultivators will be even more pronounced.

  Next, Su Che asked Yu Qing about some problems he had encountered in his cultivation over the past few days. After all, Yu Qing was not only his senior brother but also half of his teacher.

  Yu Qing was very patient, explaining for a long time, and Su Che gained a lot of benefits. Many doubts were suddenly clarified. After all, Yu Qing was one of the best among the inner disciples of Tian Xuan Sect, and his cultivation experience was several levels higher than that of the two Qi Refining Third Layer prisoners in the Heavenly Prison.

  Until he finished his lecture, Su Che didn't have any problems with his cultivation. Only then did Yu Qing ask: "That Flowing Cloud Golden Basin is almost cured, right?"

  Su Che nodded and said: "There's no problem now, let's consolidate for a few more days, it'll be safer."

  Yu Qing smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to have this special ability, Uncle is also extremely impressed."

  Su Che humbled himself for a moment, of course he still remembered that his great uncle was the highest administrator here, 'Yao Yuan Zong Lao'. He thought that Yu Qing's visit this time was mainly to represent Yao Yuan Zong Lao and inquire about his special abilities in treating spiritual grass...

  But unexpectedly, Yu Qing only praised her for a moment and didn't ask anything else. Instead, he said: "In ten days, I will take you and Linglong to the Demon Sealing Domain for training. You should make your own preparations."

  Su Zhe was taken aback, what is the Demon Sealing Domain, he had no idea; nor did he know why his senior brother Yu Qing would suddenly suggest taking him outside for training, and also mention a Ling Long...

  What kind of mystery was hidden in it, Su Che couldn't guess at all.

  However, although Su Che had doubts in his heart, he didn't plan on asking any questions because Yu Qing Shixiong was a man of his word and once he said something, it meant that he already had a well-thought-out plan. Therefore, Su Che's questioning would be superfluous.

  So Su Che hesitated for a moment before responding: "Alright, Brother Shi, I understand."

  Yu Qing threw over a glance with implicit appreciation, and had always been very appreciative of Su Che's straightforwardness. Plus his calmness and composure, he really didn't seem like a fifteen-year-old boy at all.

  That's right, as of today, Su Che has already reached a bone age of 15 years old.

  "I've just advanced to Qi Refining Stage Two. For the next few days, focus on consolidating your cultivation." Yu Qing reminded him once more before leaving.

  Yu Qing left, Su Che immediately ran to Chuan Gong Ge, and found some books related to "Feng Mo Yu" in the free reading area of ??the book collection.

  More than 2,000 years ago, several Yuan Ying Shizu of the Tian Xuan Sect joined forces to defeat a powerful and terrifying demon god. Using a high-level magic treasure, they opened up a separate space to seal it away, which is now known as the Demon Sealing Realm.

  That demon god, although having lost his freedom, could not be thoroughly destroyed. Before long, he created countless domain-outside heavenly demons, demon soldiers, demon generals, big and small demon heads, and even gave birth to several demon kings in the Demon Sealing Domain. It was simply a miniature version of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

  Later on, this Demon Sealing Domain also became a training ground set by the Tian Xuan Sect for its disciples. Hunting or capturing heavenly demons outside the domain could earn contribution points for the sect.

  "Seal Demon Domain is great!" Lao Hei's voice was rough in the immortal prison: "I don't know why, but I feel that this Seal Demon Domain suits my taste."

  "That's because you have a third of the demonic bloodline." Su Che replied: "Also, you look even more evil than the demonic creatures from outside the domain. Just by looking at your appearance, it's easy for people to mistakenly think you're a super demon king."

  "Thank you for the compliment!" Having received such an evaluation, Lao Hei was extremely happy and looked very proud.

  "No matter what, that place is also a dangerous spot, and all kinds of preparations must be sufficient." Su Che said: "At the very least, we need to buy a few handy magical tools for the two of us. This matter still needs to find Lei Xiao's help."
