I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Chapter 35: Sixth Level of Qi Training

Translator: 549690339

After chatting for a while, Han Yi and Zheng Hai left Fuhai Peak.

Among the nine Inner Peaks, each was dozens of times larger than the Outer Peaks. Although Fuhai Peak ranked lower among the nine Inner Peaks, its area on the peak was so large that it was difficult for any Outer Peak to compare to.

At the foot of the mountain, Zheng Hai turned his head and looked at the Fuhai Peak’s shining peak, showing a look of longing in his eyes.

“All, the Inner Peak.”

“I wonder when I can join the Inner Peak and have my own courtyard there.”

Han Yi’s eyes also showed longing, but his desire was even more genuine than Zheng Hai’s.

“Soon, very soon,” Han Yi nodded firmly.

“It may be fast for you, but I’m still far behind,” Zheng Hai sighed unwillingly.

“By the way, how do you cultivate so fast? Is it true that you sold your body to please the female cultivators of Small Guanhai Peak, as rumored?”

Upon hearing this, the corner of Han Yi’s mouth twitched.

Han Yi and the female cultivators of Small Guanhai Peak always kept their pill trading a secret, not even mentioning it to his close friend Zheng Hai.

After all, sometimes friendships could break if too many interests were involved.

Han Yi didn’t respond to Zheng Hai, who didn’t question further. What he said earlier was just a joke. Zheng Hai knew that Han Yi had a secret. Since three years ago, his friend seemed to be completely changed, one could even say reborn.

That was probably what he meant when he said that an external assignment had brought him many insights.

Should 1 also actively apply for an external assignment?

This idea suddenly crossed Zheng Hai’s mind. Once it was born, it spread uncontrollably, occupying all of his thoughts.

Unbeknownst to Han Yi, his friend seriously considered applying for an external assignment. Han Yi’s claim of gaining insights after an external assignment was just a cover for his Proficiency Panel.

For ninety-nine percent of those who undertake an external assignment, it is a complete waste of valuable time.

After leaving Fuhai Peak, they both returned to their respective homes.

As soon as Han Yi returned to the courtyard, he activated the array and entered seclusion.

Originally, he didn’t intend to enter seclusion. He just wanted to follow the natural course of cultivation. According to his plan, he would break through to the sixth level of Qi Cultivation within three months.

However, after visiting Fuhai Peak and hearing the information revealed by Guan Di, Han Yi was greatly tempted.

If he could enter the Inner Peak and occupy a courtyard at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation ahead of others, it would be a huge temptation for him.

That’s why he changed his strategy, entering seclusion solely to break through to the sixth level.

What Han Yi didn’t know was…

After his seclusion…

After much deliberation, Zheng Hai actually decided to apply for an external assignment.

Although outer disciples were allowed to apply for external assignments, in reality, few actively applied for them, unless they failed to complete their point tasks and were sent on an assignment.

Joking aside, even the worst Outer Peak had first or second tier Spirit Veins. Once you left the mountain and arrived in the cities outside, where would you find free Spirit Veins?

This time, Zheng Hai applied for an external assignment without informing Guan Di or Han Yi, and went to the sect’s Administration Great Hall on his own.

After confirming with the attendant senior brother several times and getting Zheng Hai’s affirmation, the senior brother looked at him with a strange gaze.

“One year. Once you go down the mountain, it will be a whole year. Although the courtyard will not be taken back, you will be strictly forbidden to stay there at will. Have you thought it through?”

“Senior brother, I’ve thought it through. I’ll go for an external assignment for one year,” Zheng Hai nodded firmly.

He didn’t believe that if Han Yi could undergo such a transformation, he couldn’t make some changes himself.

A month later…

In Han Yi’s courtyard, a young man pushed open the door of the quiet room and walked out.

He looked up at the central area of Little Lingxu Peak, where strands of spirit light came from the earth’s Spirit Vein. It was then transferred to the central area through the array and spread throughout the entire peak.

This was the array of Little Lingxu Peak.

“Time flies.”

The young man who walked out was none other than Han Yi.

He held out his hand, gently waved forward, and the three daggers at his waist lightly leaped up and hovered in the air.

With a slight thought in his mind, the three daggers transformed into three streaks of light, intertwining within a ten-meter-radius circle.

A moment later…

The daggers returned to his waist, and Han Yi showed a satisfied smile on his face.

“Not bad, at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, my mana has skyrocketed more than twice, enough to support the long-term use of Sword Control Skill.” “However, this cultivation base of mine can only be achieved through the use of Spirit Stones.”

“This damn aptitude.”

“Sigh.”

Behind Han Yi, inside the quiet room, dust was piled up thick and full.

If others didn’t know, they would really think it was dust, but only Han Yi knew that all of it was the debris of spirit stones he had consumed.

Three thousand spirit stones.

A full three thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Seventy percent of his entire fortune.

This time, in order to make a quick breakthrough, he directly piled up the sealed quiet room with crazy amounts of spirit stones, achieving an effect similar to a third-stage, or even a fourth-stage spirit vein.

The price was huge.

But the results were equally significant.

Within just a month, his cultivation base rose another step, advancing to the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, and was only one step away from the late stage of Qi Cultivation.

“It was not easy.”

“But it’s all worth it if I can take this opportunity to join the Inner Peaks; it’s all about making a big fortune.”

Han Yi knew that between the sixth level of Qi Cultivation and the seventh level, there’s a huge hurdle.

It may have only taken him six or seven years to break through from the third level of Qi Cultivation to the sixth level, but with his current cultivation speed, he estimated that it would take at least another eight years to advance to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation.

If he could join the Inner Peaks, it would definitely shorten the time needed to advance.

Besides the spirit veins, there’s also access to privileges, choice of cultivation methods, and the clear class difference in resources between disciples of the Inner and Outer Peaks.

Han Yi looked at the changed Proficiency Panel.

[Lifespan: 28/118]

[Realm: Sixth Level of Qi Cultivation (l/ioo)]

[Cultivation Method: Fire Profound Skill (Mastery 93/100)]

[Skills:

Alchemy Skill (Fire is Purely Green 8/100)

Spirit Void Finger (Fire is Purely Green 4/100)

Sword Control Skill (Fire is Purely Green 2/100)

Light Body Technique (Fire is Purely Green 2/100)

]

There wasn’t much change in skills. Once a skill reached the Fire is Purely Green level, its progress became surprisingly slow. Even with a full month of cultivation, the progress bar didn’t advance much.

For the time being, Fire is Purely Green was his limit.

Next, he would need to spend a long time to advance to the next level.

The so-called long time was a comparison to the previous stages. It might take even longer to progress from [Fire is Purely Green] to the next level than the total time it took to go from [Beginner] to [Fire is Purely Green].

Next.

Han Yi planned to expand his skillset. Since he couldn’t dig deeper, he would expand his width – this was his strategy moving forward.

When the quality had reached a bottleneck, it was time to supplement with quantity.

And the biggest change after advancing to the sixth level should be his lifespan.

His lifespan had changed from 99 to 118.

This also meant that, without illnesses or disasters, Han Yi could live to be a hundred and eighteen years old. In his previous life, this could be considered a long life, but in this life, Han Yi thought this was just the starting stage of cultivation.

No matter how you looked at it, being able to live longer meant having more possibilities.

Han Yi was delighted in his heart and ended this month-long closed-door cultivation session.

When he walked out of the courtyard, he saw that people were coming and going on Little Lingxu Peak, flocking to the main building where the peak master was located.

Stopping a familiar junior brother, Han Yi asked what had happened.

“Brother Han, you must have been in seclusion for a long time.”

“Today is the last day to sign up for the Inner Peaks.”

“Right, you haven’t signed up yet, have you? Hurry up and sign up.”

“This time, as long as you are at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation or above, you can sign up, and there are quite a few spots available. Many senior brothers have already signed up..”
