Chapter 12: The Bottleneck of the 6th Level of Qi Cultivation

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Yi was a bit confused, "Me? What's wrong with me?"

Seeing Lu Yi's bewildered face, Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi were stunned, this kid was acting like nothing happened about such a big matter!

Wang Siqi took a deep breath and asked, "Yi'er, you went to White Sun Peak today, did you go on the platform?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi immediately understood. It was indeed about him going on the platform? It seemed they had found out about White Sun Peak?

Their lecture had ended in the evening, it hadn't been that long, right? The Outer Sect was so big, how did this news reach Old Lu and Mom so quickly? Lu Yi thought he had grossly underestimated the gossip prowess of the Outer Sect members.

Lu Yi grumbled internally, then cheerfully said, "Yeah, I went to White Sun Peak, how about that? Isn't your son quite the genius?"

I, Lu, have also had a taste of being a genius.

Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi exchanged a look, both astonished: it really was Lu Yi!

Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi had some doubts before, but since it was their own son, they knew his capabilities well.

Lu Gaoyang's expression changed, still a bit unsure, he asked, "So... you've truly cultivated the White Cloud Sword Technique to the Regain Simplicity Realm?"

"That's right." Lu Yi nodded.

"...And Liu Ningshuang, the Liu Zhenchuan, also invited you to Ling Luo Peak for assessment? And she gave you a Top-grade Qi Condensation Elixir?"

"Yeah, that's correct, Senior Sister Liu is really nice." Lu Yi nodded.

"Hiss..." Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi gasped.

Lu Gaoyang looked at Lu Yi, shocked, "How could my son be such a genius?! I don't believe it!"

"????" Lu Yi was left speechless, with a dark expression, "Old Lu, you actually don't believe that I'm this much of a genius?! Mom, say something!"

Lu Yi was very frustrated, why couldn't he be this much of a genius?

Wang Siqi hesitated for a moment and then quietly said, "To be honest, I know your talent best, and it's hard to believe."

Lu Yi, "???"

How could parents talk about their son like this? If he hadn't transmigrated from the womb, Lu Yi would have thought he was picked up from the trash.

Lu Yi was speechless, "There are legends about elders gaining enlightenment and bringing prosperity overnight; can't I have some enlightenment too?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Gaoyang squinted at Lu Yi, "You want to compare yourself to immortals?"

Seeing Lu Gaoyang's look, Lu Yi was so angry he nearly spat out blood. He sneered and said, "Old Lu, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't look down on us youngsters! Maybe a few years from now when I become an immortal, I won't take you along!"

After hearing this, Lu Gaoyang felt a severe headache and said, "I believe you're full of nonsense, you brat, still thinking about becoming an immortal... Ouch!!"

Before Lu Gaoyang could finish, he screamed in pain. Wang Siqi silently withdrew her foot from Lu Gaoyang's, and smiled, "Yi'er, have ambition, I support you! But are you really enlightened?"

In fact, if not for the sect array protection within the sect, preventing powerful devil cultivators from infiltrating, Wang Siqi and Lu Gaoyang would have suspected that Lu Yi had been seized.

Moreover, Lu Yi's behavior and personality were the same as before, and habits were consistent. Even though a body-seizer might hide, some details couldn't be hidden. Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi confirmed Lu Yi had not been seized and thought it must be some other reason.

Lu Yi nodded, "Yes, starting a while ago, I've felt a lot clearer mentally. While cultivating techniques and arts, the insights come faster. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to cultivate the White Cloud Sword Technique to the Regain Simplicity Realm in such a short time."

Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi looked at each other: What was the principle? They couldn't figure it out.

"Yi'er, did you unknowingly consume some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?" Wang Siqi guessed.

"I'm not sure, maybe?" Of course, Lu Yi wouldn't mention his long-lost Golden Finger arriving, better to play along with this.

After all, the White Cloud Sect was a righteous sect with a good atmosphere, treating geniuses well, as long as you didn't betray the sect, everything could be negotiated. The sect would be thrilled if a genius like Lu Yi, born and raised in the White Cloud Sect, was even more talented.

Lu Gaoyang couldn't figure it out either and said, "This is a good thing, but the state might disappear anytime. Yi'er, work even harder at your cultivation during this period."

"I know." Lu Yi nodded.

Wang Siqi smiled, "I'm in a good mood today. I'll personally cook something nice for you two."

...

After dinner, Lu Yi returned to his room, feeling satisfied. He had to admit, his mom's cooking was excellent. He activated his spiritual energy, quickly digesting the food, then sat cross-legged on the bed, ready to cultivate.

Before cultivating, Lu Yi issued himself a task to practice the White Cloud Qi Refining Art ten times, but upon seeing the task reward, his eyes widened.

[Task]:

Practice the White Cloud Qi Refining Art ten times (Progress: 0/10)

Reward: White Cloud Qi Refining Art Level +1

Accept: Yes/No

The White Cloud Qi Refining Art's level was about to increase? Lu Yi was incredulous. His White Cloud Qi Refining Art had only been at level 6 for four days, he thought it would take longer.

He quickly understood it was because of Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang's lecture today, giving him insight. His comprehension accelerated the White Cloud Qi Refining Art advancement.

In game terms, this was a special event that boosted his White Cloud Qi Refining Art experience. Lu Yi felt proud, his potential wasn't bad.

Without hurrying to cultivate, he first took out a white elixir, a Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixir, planning to use it now to enhance his cultivation base.

Lu Yi placed the Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixir in his mouth. As it entered his belly, it turned into streams of warmth, spreading inside him. The intense spiritual energy made him feel bloated, so he quickly started his cultivation technique.

With the technique in motion, the dense spiritual energy was gradually absorbed into his dantian, rapidly boosting his cultivation.

As he circulated the technique over and over, his cultivation surged, spiritual energy increased, and then he suddenly felt a barrier.

This feeling was unique, the barrier was invisible yet tangible, preventing more spiritual energy from gathering, even though the Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixir continued releasing energy.

It was like a bottle filled with water, any more would overflow.

Lu Yi was familiar with this, having experienced it multiple times.

A bottleneck, he had reached the Qi Cultivation Sixth Latyer bottleneck.

Lu Yi was stunned and then overjoyed, he hadn't expected to hit the bottleneck so soon!
