Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 53 The middle stage of Qi refining
Arriving at the backyard of Qiancao Pavilion, Ji Chang used a basic talisman for communication.

After a while, a slightly old voice sounded in Ji Chang's ears.

"come in."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chang straightened his robe and walked into the alchemy room.

A strong medicinal fragrance hits your nose, making you feel relaxed and happy.

In the center of the room, Master Mo Dan sat in front of the black gold alchemy furnace, clasping his hands together and urging the fire to ignite.

The flames in the furnace were jumping and the medicinal power was surging, as if it had life.

Seeing Ji Chang coming, Master Mo Dan did not stop what he was doing, but just signaled him with his eyes to wait on the side.

Ji Chang did not dare to disturb him and stood quietly by the side, watching Master Mo Dan making the elixir.

After a moment, Master Mo Dan shouted softly and suddenly retracted his hands.

The fire in the furnace went out instantly, and an even stronger medicinal fragrance filled the air.

Master Mo Dan opened the lid of the furnace, took out a round and full pill from it, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

At this time, he turned to Ji Chang, with a hint of surprise and admiration in his eyes: "You have cultivated to the peak of the third level of Qi Refining?"

Ji Chang lowered his head slightly and answered, "Yes, Mr. Mo."

Master Mo Dan didn't say anything, but looked him over.

Ji Chang noticed a gleam of light in Master Mo Dan's eyes, and he felt a little like he was being spied on.

Ji Chang knew that Master Mo Dan was probably casting some kind of peeping spell similar to the Spirit Eye Technique at this moment.

After a moment, Master Mo Dan retracted his gaze and commented: "Your magic power is strong and your aura is stable. You only need one realm-breaking elixir to break through. Your foundation is solid, which is very good."

But suddenly, Master Mo Dan asked, "Ji Chang, do you have the qualifications of a top-grade spiritual root?"

After Master Mo Dan finished speaking, the entire alchemy room fell into a brief silence.

When Ji Chang heard this, he was shocked.

He has always tried to keep a low profile, not wanting to expose his spiritual roots too early.

However, he did not expect that Master Mo Dan could actually directly see his spiritual root qualifications, which caught him off guard.

Ji Chang was full of doubts. You know, in Cangyu Market, it was not uncommon to see a third-level Qi Refining cultivator like him who was nearly thirty years old.

Moreover, when he first joined Qiancao Pavilion, he was already at the third level of Qi Refining, so Master Mo Dan should have found it difficult to detect his speed of cultivation.

However, Master Mo Dan directly pointed out his spiritual root qualifications.

"Could it be the same voyeurism spell as before?"

A thought popped up in Ji Chang's mind, and he stood there, not knowing how to answer.

He looked up at Master Mo Dan, only to find that Master Mo Dan was looking at him with a complicated look.

Ji Chang knew that he could no longer hide his spiritual roots.

So he took a deep breath, nodded, and admitted, "Yes, Mr. Mo."

When Master Mo Dan heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, then he suddenly sighed and said, "Superior spiritual roots, extraordinary talent, Ji Chang, your future is limitless."

"Go back and have a good rest for a while, and concentrate on preparing for the breakthrough in seclusion."

Ji Chang nodded, raised his hand to salute Master Mo Dan, and walked out of the alchemy room.

Just as Ji Chang was about to leave the alchemy room, Master Mo's voice sounded again: "Wait until you break through the middle stage of Qi Refining, then come back here to find me."

Ji Chang paused for a moment, but did not look back. Instead, he continued to leave the alchemy room. Back in the room on the third floor of Qiancao Pavilion, Ji Chang recalled what had just happened and carefully recalled the conversation with Master Mo Dan.

Ji Chang had no way of knowing Master Mo Dan's true thoughts and could only guess based on his own experience.

However, Ji Chang knew that Master Mo Dan was definitely not like what was described in those immortal cultivation novels in his previous life, who wanted to take over his body because they were attracted by his spiritual roots.

This is because, in this world, it is not easy to possess another body and be reborn. The cultivator who can possess another body and be reborn must be at least the legendary Yuanying Zhenjun.

Only when the soul transforms into an infant can it leave the body and travel through time and space.

Although Master Mo Dan has a high level of cultivation, he is only a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, and is still far from the realm of Yuanying Zhenjun.

But if that’s the case, what is Master Mo Dan trying to achieve?
It can't be that they discovered that he had good aptitude and was expected to build a foundation, so they wanted to take him in as a disciple and teach him the superb alchemy skills.

Ji Chang thought of this and couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

Although this possibility is not low, he knows very well that the path to becoming an immortal is full of unknowns and variables, and he cannot pin his future on the gifts of others.

Ji Chang took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He knew that the most important thing now was to concentrate on preparing for the retreat and break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining.

So he closed his eyes and began to adjust his state.

He first felt the flow of mana in his body to make sure it was flowing smoothly.

Then, he began to practice his mental skills, slowly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy into his body, nourishing his meridians and dantian.

As time passed, his breathing gradually became slow and deep, as if it had merged with the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.

During this process, Ji Chang's mind gradually calmed down, and all distracting thoughts and disturbances were eliminated one by one.

When his condition was adjusted to the best, Ji Chang was ready to start taking the Barrier Breaking Pill. He took out the pill and observed it carefully.

This pill is dark brown in color, exudes a faint fragrance, and contains powerful medicinal properties.

He took a deep breath, put the pill into his mouth, then circulated his mental skills and began to refine the medicinal power.

As the medicinal power was gradually released, Ji Chang felt a powerful energy surging in his body.

He did not dare to be careless at all, and quickly circulated his mental skills to guide the energy into his meridians.

Under the impact of this energy, his meridians began to expand and strengthen little by little, and his magic power continued to grow.

As time went by, his aura gradually became stronger, and the bottleneck in the middle stage of Qi Refining began to loosen.

A month later, Ji Chang opened his eyes with joy, feeling the magic power in his body that was even more powerful than before, and felt a little excited.

"Twenty-five years old, fourth level of Qi Refining."

"After more than a year, I finally succeeded in breaking through to the middle stage of Qi Refining."

A cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining can no longer be considered a low-level cultivator in Cangyu Market.

Even among the many Qi-refining families in Jiaozhou, he is considered the backbone of the family.

More importantly, after breaking through to the middle stage of Qi Refining, Ji Chang possessed enough magic power to improve his alchemy skills.

With the cultivation level of the middle stage of Qi Refining, Ji Chang had enough mana to support him when refining the first-grade intermediate elixir.

"But now I have to go meet Master Mo Dan."

Ji Chang's heart moved slightly, and then he raised his hand, and a green snake emerged lightly from between his sleeves.

It is the green bamboo snake.
