Perfect Qi Condensation Pill

Lu Yi cast a glance at the outer disciple obstructing his path, noticing that this individual was an eighth-level Qi practitioner. With a friendly smile, he remarked, "Senior brother, I merely wish to ascend to the platform for a closer look. Why should it be inconvenient?"

The burly man blinked in astonishment at Lu Yi's request, his expression one of utter surprise. This unexpected turn of events prompted murmurs among the other outer sect disciples nearby.

"Did he really say he wants to get on the platform? I thought he just wanted a front-row spot, but this is something else."

"Is he out of his mind? Wanting to access the platform with just a sixth-level Qi training cultivation?"

"Listen to the senior brother's advice, young one. The platform is a deep pool, and you might not be able to handle it. You should step back," one outer sect disciple chimed in kindly, attempting to dissuade Lu Yi.

However, Lu Yi remained unfazed by the opinions of others. He responded with a serene smile, saying, "Senior brother, what's your take on this?"

The strong man's mouth twitched slightly, but he couldn't help grinning as he retorted, "I don't think so." With that, he began channeling his spiritual energy throughout his body and unsheathed a large sword strapped to his back.

Lu Yi, too, drew his own longsword, revealing an equally calm demeanor as he faced the burly senior.

In that moment, Lu Yi had another daring thought. He ventured to initiate a new mission: "I wish to defeat my opponent before me."

Instantly, his perspective shifted.

[Task]: Defeat the eighth-level Qi training disciple (progress: 0/1) Reward: 10 Top-Grade Qi Condensing Pills/1 Perfect Qi Condensing Pill Accept or decline: Yes/No

Upon seeing this task, Lu Yi felt like he had unlocked a whole new world of possibilities. Could this truly be achieved? Would he be able to challenge other outer disciples in the future and reap similar rewards?

And the rewards were extraordinary! Needless to say, the perfect pill contained absolutely no impurities. It meant he wouldn't have to waste time purifying the pill, ensuring an exceptionally solid foundation and cultivation of spiritual energy.

While Lu Yi was unsure if the entire White Cloud Sect had access to perfect medicine pills, he was aware that, as an outer disciple, his regular monthly training resources comprised only a bottle of ten mid-grade Qi condensing pills, and high-grade pills were a rarity. So, what about this reward? Ten top-quality Qi condensing pills or a perfect Qi condensing pill! The reward was enticing.

Such a magnificent reward for defeating an outer sect disciple at the eighth level of Qi training!

As Lu Yi gazed at his opponent, his eyes underwent a subtle transformation, as if he were viewing a perfect medicine pill.

Witnessing Lu Yi's peculiar expression, the outer disciple blocking his path began to feel a chill down his spine. Did this youngster have some peculiar preferences?

Shivers ran down the burly man's spine, and he chose not to dwell on the matter further. Instead, he stepped forward and swung his hefty sword at Lu Yi.

In a flash, the blade gleamed as it emitted the fierce roar of a tiger, and the wind it generated caused Lu Yi's black hair to flutter.

Tiger Sword!

Lu Yi recognized this sword technique as a Qi cultivator's fundamental technique within the White Cloud Sect. This skill incorporated the essence of a tiger and, at its pinnacle, could even produce a tiger's roar within its swordplay, intimidating opponents and leaving them incapacitated.

However, it seemed that this senior brother's proficiency in the art fell short...

After half a month of relentless practice, Lu Yi's level had undergone a significant transformation.

[Character]: Lu Yi [Cultivation]: Sixth layer of Qi training [Cultivation method]: "White Cloud Breathing Art" (Level 6) [Spells]: "White Cloud Sword Art" (Level 6), "White Cloud Footwork" (Level 6)

Although Lu Yi was uncertain of his current strength, he was confident that he surpassed this eighth-level Qi-training senior.

However, Lu Yi had another consideration. If he displayed too much of his strength, no one would dare to challenge him in the future. He would miss out on countless perfect medicine pills, an outcome that was entirely unacceptable to him.

Therefore, Lu Yi resisted the temptation to swiftly overpower his opponent and instead utilized the White Cloud Sword Art to gradually match the burly senior's strength, presenting a performance of similar prowess.

Their clashing swords produced a symphony of metallic resonances as their figures danced in the open space.

The outer sect disciples on the sidelines gaped at the spectacle in awe.

"Wow, is this junior brother truly this formidable?"

"Can you believe it? A sixth-level Qi training cultivator is holding his own against an eighth-level senior brother. Who is this kid?"

"He's employing White Cloud swordsmanship, right? Is White Cloud swordsmanship that potent?"

"I've trained in White Cloud swordsmanship, and I can confirm it. However, I suspect this junior brother has mastered it to the Transformation Realm. I sense hints of White Cloud's artistic conception within his techniques. It's astonishing!"

"The Transformation Realm? No wonder he's so formidable."

The disciples erupted in chatter, their opinions stirred.

The powerful man facing Lu Yi grasped the situation, recognizing the mastery of White Cloud swordsmanship at the Transformation Realm. His own techniques paled in comparison.

Nevertheless, after conceding defeat to the sixth-level Qi-training junior brother, he grinned and said, "Junior brother, your comprehension is exceptional. I didn't anticipate White Cloud swordsmanship being cultivated to the Transformation Realm. I deeply admire your skill, and your victory is well-deserved."

"Senior brother, you're too kind."

"You're welcome, junior brother. Please proceed."

In this amicable atmosphere, the senior disciple made way for Lu Yi, who strolled past him with a contented smile. He couldn't help but glance at his task panel.

As anticipated, the mission had been marked as completed. And as for the reward choice, was there even any room for debate? The perfect Qi Condensing Pill was the clear selection. Though the top-grade Qi Condensing Pill was impressive, it still contained impurities. Lu Yi's standards had markedly elevated since the system's emergence.

However, he opted not to collect the reward immediately, as he couldn't utilize it at this moment. Lu Yi harbored the hope that the next time someone obstructed his path, he'd have the chance to earn another perfect medicine pill.

Oh, there was one more thought!

With a bold idea in mind, Lu Yi muttered to himself, "I want to ascend to the White Cloud Peak platform!"

In an instant, the task materialized on his panel. Upon reviewing the reward, his eyes widened, and his heart raced with exhilaration. The magnitude of this unexpected reward took him entirely by surprise.
