Chapter 37: The Fourth Level of Qi Refining

Su Qingwu circulated his spiritual power and quickly absorbed the rich spiritual energy.

As time went on, the spiritual energy around him began to fluctuate noticeably.

This is a sign that your cultivation is about to break through.

Realizing this, she immediately sat down to meditate.

In Dantian, the fourth cyclone of spiritual energy is in a state of being about to condense.

This continued for about thirty breaths, until the cyclone was completely formed.

Su Qingwu's cultivation level successfully broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining!

Afterwards, he continued to meditate for a while to consolidate his state of mind, then stood up and quickly performed a cleansing spell to remove the mud on his clothes.

After a month, Su Qingwu's cultivation level broke through again, and he was naturally very happy.

However, this speed of her cultivation improvement was totally inconsistent with her revealed qualifications, so concealing her cultivation level was necessary.

Thinking of the Tongxuan Xixi Jue that she had practiced, she carefully recalled the casting gestures.

As his spiritual power slowly circulated, his hands quickly made hand gestures, and his aura gradually faded away.

The fourth level of Qi Refining realm that was originally revealed quickly turned into the third level of Qi Refining realm.

This method consumes very little spiritual energy and can be maintained indefinitely.

After concealing his cultivation level, Su Qingwu continued to harvest all the remaining Qingxin grass.

The sect mission was successfully completed!

After leaving this place, she immediately rushed to Ming'an Palace on Heyun Peak.

Because she handed in the extremely high-quality Huiling Grass more than a month ago, the deacons in the temple were all deeply impressed by her.

In the Mission Hall, every mission accepted is recorded in detail in the Ming'an Hall.

Seeing Su Qingwu coming, Du Xinzhi quickly looked up the tasks she had taken on and felt quite surprised.

Judging from the mission description, it will take about ten days for the Qingxin grass to mature. Why are we coming here now? Could it be that there is something wrong with this batch of spiritual plants?

As I was thinking this, I saw the girl in black approaching, bowing, and speaking respectfully:

"Uncle Master, I have accepted the task of taking care of the spiritual plants at Shanlan Peak. I have completed it today. I have harvested a total of 900 Qingxin grasses and have put them all into the storage bag."

Looking at the things handed to her, Du Xinzhi's face became even more surprised.

The spiritual plant matured ahead of time?

Could it be that some magical fertilizer was used that can accelerate growth?

It was just that she had heard about Su Qingwu's background from Senior Sister Gong.

Spirit stones are expensive. This person was born in an ordinary family, has no family to rely on, and has just started his cultivation journey. It is impossible for him to have many spirit stones.

Moreover, even if she really had a way to obtain magical fertilizer, the effect of accelerating growth would not be so obvious.

Although she knew there must be a reason behind this, Du Xinzhi did not ask any more questions.

After taking the storage bag, she immediately checked it with her spiritual sense.

"One hundred and eleven perfect quality plants, one hundred and eighty-eight superior quality plants, and six hundred and one ordinary quality plants. We have exceeded the target.

Since this is not a spiritual plant from your own village, you cannot keep it for yourself, but don't worry, the contribution points will definitely not be reduced.

Originally, completing the task normally would earn you 50 contribution points, but now this reward... do you think you can accept 100 contribution points?"

Su Qingwu did not hesitate and nodded and said, "Okay."

Du Xinzhi then took out a fist-sized purple jade stone, cast a spell on it, and then passed it to the black-clothed girl through the air.

"This is a special item for recording contribution points. After you get it, you must first drip blood to acknowledge its owner, so that no one else can take it for themselves. In addition, every time you hand over a sect mission in the future, you must bring this stone so that you can change your contribution points."

"Yes, disciple, please remember this!"

Su Qingwu took it respectfully, quickly bit his fingertip, and claimed the jade as his own.

"Uncle Master, does this thing have a unique name?"

"The default is called a contribution stone. By the way, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to. If this stone is accidentally destroyed or lost, the contribution points of the new stone will be cleared directly, so you must keep it well.

If a fellow disciple who is not your responsibility asks you to take out this stone, remember not to agree. You must be on guard against others."

"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Master. I'll take note of it."

"Well, if there is nothing else, go back and practice well, and strive to build your foundation as soon as possible."

"Yes, disciple, I'll take my leave."

......

After leaving Ming'an Temple, Su Qingwu quickly returned to the bluestone courtyard on Cuimu Peak.

At that time, Su Wen was staying quietly in the house. When he heard the noise at the door, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Qingwu, you're back. Hey, your cultivation level..."

Because of the soul contract, she had sensed Su Qingwu's improvement in cultivation not long ago.

But now, when people walked up to it, they found that it was still at the third level of Qi Refining.

At this moment, she remembered the Tongxuan Zhenxi Jue that the little girl mentioned when she asked her about the magic skills she had learned.

Could it be because of this technique?

As I thought about this, I heard the black-clad girl who had walked not far in front of me explain with a smile:

"I concealed my cultivation level, and now I have broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining."

"If that's the case, then the level of your technique to conceal your cultivation must be extremely high."

When this matter was mentioned, Su Qingwu's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

"I don't know. When I bought this technique, there was no grade indication, and... my experience at that time was very strange."

When Su Wen heard this, he became very curious.

"Did you buy this technique? Did you find it in some ancient cave?"

Su Qingwu shook her head and laughed.

"Of course not. I started practicing after I joined the sect. It has only been four months and I have never left the sect. How could I have gone to the ancient cave?"

"Hmm, I forgot about that. You have only been practicing for a short time. But if you bought it, it should be very expensive, right?"

"No, I only used 128 low-grade spirit stones to purchase the Tongxuan Xixi Technique. The most crucial issue is that the price that person quoted just matched the total number of spirit stones I had at the time."

"That's strange. The matching quantity can be explained by coincidence, but the price... is too cheap. Where did you buy it? Did you meet a seller who didn't know the goods?"

"It's in Aokibo City, in a shop called Suiyuansai."

"Suiyuan Zhai... I've never heard of him, but he must have some skills to be able to open a business in the market near Qianzhi Sect. It seems that my previous speculation is not true. But how do you explain this price?"

"In fact, this industry... I doubt it even exists."

Su Wen raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

Su Qingwu recalled the experience at that time and continued:

"After I selected the jade slip that contained the secret of Tongxuan Yanxi Jue, I took out the corresponding spirit stone as the man said. At that moment, I was carried to the street by a huge repulsive force. When I came to my senses, I could no longer see the temple."

Su Wen was surprised, "You mean... Suiyuan Zhai Pingkong disappeared?"

"Well, it's as if it never existed in the first place."

"Have you asked anyone about this industry?"

"No, I met a disciple of the Danxia sect on the street that day. He invited me to a gathering somewhere, but I didn't want to go, so I left quickly. After that, I didn't try to ask around, mainly because I was worried about arousing suspicion."

Having said this, Su Qingwu paused, hesitated for a moment, and added a sentence.

"In fact, I am basically certain that the Suiyuan Zhai is not an industry of the market town, because at the beginning, all kinds of signs showed that I was the only one who could see the building..."
