3 Cultivation Breathing Technique, the Peak of Qi Refinement!

"Hmm, what's that smell?"

Wu Ye got up from the bed. His nose twitched slightly, and he perceived a foul smell. At the same time, he felt that his body was sticky.

This happened because impurities and toxins were expelled from his body after he took the Rejuvenation Pill.

He hurriedly fetched water from the water tank in the herb garden and used the spirit spring to clean himself.

He felt refreshed immediately after washing himself. All the pores in his body seemed to have been opened up, and his five senses became very clear.

At the same time, he felt that his body had become very powerful. He felt that his physical fitness alone would easily allow him to send a galloping warhorse flying with a casual punch.

Wu Ye slowly exhaled and looked up at the sky. A ray of light was visible in the eastern part of the sky.

"It's still early now. Next, I'll have to see the effects of the Guiyuan Breathing Technique."

Thus, Wu Ye returned to the small courtyard and sat cross-legged on the praying mat. He held his breath and focused his mind as he carefully flipped through the manual of the body refining technique, namely the Guiyuan Breathing Technique, in his mind.

As Wu Ye read deeper into his memory, he realized that he knew how to cultivate the technique even though he still could not completely understand it.

It was as if his body already had an inexplicable physical memory. The cultivation technique was automatically circulating in his body.

The portion of the medicinal efficacy of the Rejuvenation Pill hidden in Wu Ye's body was also fully activated by the Guiyuan Breathing Technique.

The cultivation technique that he was unable to completely understand became clearer as he cultivated it over and over again.

"Nourish Qi and accumulate spirit, bear the laws of heaven, circulate the heavens..."

During his cultivation, he chanted in his heart. As such, his cultivation speed became faster and smoother as well.

At this time, it was almost daybreak. The world just awakened, and spirit energy burst forth.

Wu Ye's realm began to rise steadily. The spirit energy of the entire herb garden gathered around him, forming an invisible spirit energy vortex.

Qi Refinement Level 5...

Qi Refinement Level 6...

Qi Refinement Level 7...

...

In just two hours, Wu Ye's Qi Refinement Realm had already broken through from Level 5 to Level 13.

At the same time, the Guiyuan Breathing Technique had also been cultivated from Level 2 (mastery) to Level 6 (perfection).

Generally speaking, the cultivation of ordinary techniques was roughly divided into six levels.

The specific levels were beginner, mastery, minor accomplishment, agile, major accomplishment, and perfection.

The higher the cultivation technique, the more profound the subsequent realms would be. It also required a higher power realm to comprehend it. Currently, Wu Ye had yet to come into contact with it.

However, if the sect master and elders of the Sword Control Sect were to find out that Wu Ye had cultivated the Guiyuan Breathing Technique to Level 6 (perfection) in such a short period of time, they would definitely be stunned.

This was because it was much more difficult to comprehend cultivation techniques than simply cultivating spirit power to increase one's strength.

Most cultivators of Foundation Establishment did not cultivate qi until the perfection level before they started to cultivate a new Foundation Establishment technique.

However, this would create a flaw in their cultivation path. If this happened too frequently, it would become increasingly difficult for them to break through in the future.

Therefore, many cultivators who cultivated to the later stage could not continue without the assistance of medicinal pills.

Even when it came to breaking through from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage, they would still need medicinal pills.

Of course, Wu Ye did not need to consider such things at all.

Now that his cultivation had reached the peak of Qi Refinement, it meant that he would soon become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In fact...

A cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement could take a Foundation Establishment pill and attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, many Qi Refinement cultivators needed to accumulate more spirit energy due to their lack of foundation in their cultivation.

As for Wu Ye, it was because there was so much spirit energy in his body that it was already full.

Although his cultivation had reached the peak of Qi Refinement, the medicinal efficacy of the Rejuvenation Pill was still not completely digested. During the absorption process, most of the medicinal efficacy had spread out of his body.

However, Wu Ye did not mind.

It was just a reward for signing in at the herb garden.

As long as he signed in and obtained a Foundation Establishment pill later, breaking through was a very simple task. It might not even take him an hour.

Wu Ye restrained his aura and stopped practicing the Guiyuan Breathing Technique. 

He muttered to himself in a low voice, "The Guiyuan Breathing Technique is the basic qi cultivation technique of the Sword Control Sect. No matter how simple the basic cultivation technique is, one shouldn't take it lightly when it is cultivated to the perfection level.

"Guiyuan Breathing Technique shouldn't be underestimated considering that it has been passed down for more than a thousand years along with the other two qi cultivation techniques.

"However, I think I might be able to start picking a cultivation technique from Foundation Establishment."

Wu Ye nodded his head in satisfaction, his face filled with pride.

Achieving the perfection level of body refining technique and the 13th level of Qi Refinement was extremely rare in the thousand years of history of the Sword Control Sect. There were no more than ten people who had achieved it.

Moreover, having reached the perfection level of the Guiyuan Breathing Technique gave him another ability.

With the support of this breathing technique, he was able to gather his cultivation realms together, forming a cyclone in his dantian. At the same time, he was able to hide his cultivation realms.

In other words, as long as he did not expose himself, others would definitely not be able to discover his true strength just by relying on their senses.

This could be considered a pleasant surprise.

He had always been cautious. Although he had already joined the Sword Control Sect, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble if the sect master and elders knew that he had cultivated from the first level of the Qi Refinement Realm to the 13th level in just a few hours.

At this moment, Wu Ye was dressed in green clothes. He slightly adjusted his breathing and gathered the spirit energy around him.

In the next moment, he regained the simple temperament of a gardener again. His realm had also returned to the first level of Qi Refinement.

Then, he came to the herb garden.

The herb garden was spacious, about the size of two football fields.

As far as the eye could see, most of them were medicinal herbs of the Qi Refinement Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Wu Ye took a deep breath, feeling that the tip of his nose was refreshing.

Then, he muttered in his mind, "Sign in at the herb garden."

According to the previous hint, Wu Ye knew that there were some places that could be repeatedly signed in.

[You have successfully signed in at the herb garden. You are rewarded with 'The Complete Guide to Growing Spirit Plants'!]

[Remark: You can sign in at this place again. You can only sign in twice a day, that is once in the morning and once in the evening.]

The Complete Guide to Growing Spirit Plants.

A smile spread across Wu Ye's face.

At first, he was worried about how he would take care of the herbs in the yard.

In the end, he obtained the guide to growing spirit plants.

It was like receiving a pillow when he was sleepy.

Wu Ye closed his eyes and flipped through the complete guide to growing spirit plants in his mind. There were illustrations of herbs, breeding methods, preferences, seasons of maturity, and so on.

Even information about the ancient spirit plants that had been lost in history was written in it.

With The Complete Guide to Growing Spirit Plants, Wu Ye did not have to worry about not being able to take good care of the herb garden.

"Hehe. In the future, I'll plant a type of herb, bask it in the sun, and go around the Sword Control Sect to sign in. This kind of immortal cultivation life is great."

Wu Ye could already imagine his future leisure life in his head.

Everything was so wonderful!
