The sounds of discussion filled the air.
"Is this the cultivation world?"
"The spiritual energy is so rich, I feel like I'm about to break through."
"I also have a feeling that I need to break through!"
Qi Zhiheng stepped forward and interrupted the crowd's discussion.
He and the moon beast discussed the matter privately and confirmed that this was indeed the cultivation world. However, it was still uncertain whether there were any other people on this island, so he needed to be even more cautious.
Qi Zhiheng said, "I understand everyone's excitement, but we are new to the cultivation world and need to be more careful. I'm sure the Dean has already discussed the matter of cultivation with you all, so I won't say more here. I would like to invite the representatives of each force to come and discuss it."
Qi Zhiheng gathered a group of people, and their next task was to discuss cultivation techniques.
Just then, Si Yuan stepped forward and said, "Zhi Heng! Wait a moment."
"Great Ancestor, what's wrong?" Qi Zhiheng asked when he saw his great-grandfather.
“Your great-grandfather is about to break through, and he needs a quiet place to do so,” Si Yuan said with a hint of urgency.
Qi Wantian had already entered the Pseudo-Core Realm back in the Xuanling Continent. Once he broke free from the shackles, it was only natural that he was preparing to break through. However, Qi Zhiheng hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.
"Ancestor, please take your great-grandfather there quickly." Qi Zhiheng asked the Qi family members to help as well, while he talked to the others here.
Yang Yao was busy setting up an array to conceal the lightning tribulation, while Yang Yitian was also helping to draw some talismans to increase Qi Wantian's success rate.
The others were completely baffled.
Qi Zhiheng explained, "This is the cultivation technique I was going to talk about. This lightning tribulation is extremely dangerous, and it is not an easy thing to safely pass through it. However, once you pass through this tribulation, your lifespan will increase by one level."
These words stirred something in everyone! Among these people, some were nearing the end of their lives and had to find a way out. Of course, there were also those who felt it would be difficult to make any further breakthroughs due to their approaching lifespan and chose to stay on the Xuanling Continent. But people who are afraid of death are everywhere, and everyone's choices are different. Qi Zhiheng did not offer any comment on this.
What he needs to do now is continue doing business with these people.
Qi Zhiheng explained everything about the cultivation techniques, and then let everyone decide whether they wanted to buy the cultivation techniques from him.
Everyone cursed Qi Zhiheng inwardly for being such a greedy man. He had just swindled such a large sum of spirit stones from them, and now that they were at their destination, he was going to continue swindling them!
Qi Zhiheng didn't force these people. The price he offered was already fair; one force could buy a set. Before coming here, he had copied many cultivation techniques. These techniques were all of medium quality—neither too good nor too common. In short, they were sufficient for the cultivation world with its moderate concentration of spiritual energy. As for better techniques? Qi Zhiheng didn't owe them anything, so he naturally wouldn't offer anything more. Who knew if these people would stab him in the back later? He couldn't afford such a thing.
These forces had no choice but to take out their spirit stones to exchange for goods. Those who didn't have enough spirit stones asked their subordinates for more. Qi Zhiheng earned a considerable amount of spirit stones through this cultivation technique.
Of course, his reputation for being obsessed with money only grew stronger...
Qi Zhiheng took out some of the cultivation techniques for various spiritual roots that he had prepared in advance, and distributed one set to each: "Take these and make copies yourself. The cultivation from now on is beyond my control."
Just then, dark clouds gathered over the sky. Qi Zhiheng naturally understood the meaning behind this. Qi Wantian had already endured most of the tribulation lightning when he was on the Xuanling Continent, and only the last tribulation lightning remained.
After finishing his work, Qi Zhiheng went to check on Qi Wantian's situation.
There was no one else on the island besides them. Qi Zhiheng defined the island as a deserted island.
Qi Zhiheng didn't plan to stay here for long. After Qi Wantian successfully advanced, he would probably move to another place.
The lightning tribulation was so powerful that the methods originally used to conceal it went awry and it almost couldn't be stopped.
Qi Zhiheng made a decisive decision: "Everyone, leave this island immediately to avoid being affected!"
Qi Zhiheng looked at the menacing lightning tribulation and led his family away.
The others wanted to look around the island for more valuable treasures, but once they saw that the Qi family had run away, they naturally had to run too.
Before long, everyone on the island was fleeing to the sea.
Qi Zhiheng looked at the thunderstorm hidden by the talisman array, wondering what the real situation inside was.
Qi Zhiheng explained the method of switching cultivation techniques and the potential dangers to the other spiritual practitioners. He told them that if anyone was afraid of danger, they should not take the risk.
Everyone present was here, so naturally they wouldn't give up this opportunity easily; no one wanted to give it up.
Qi Zhiheng said to some people, "It's best to separate when you're about to change your cultivation method. If two people enter the tribulation together, the tribulation will be doubled, and you could die if you're not careful."
Qi Zhiheng immediately dispatched people to various islands to cultivate. He also asked Yang Yao to help set up an array to conceal the lightning formation; of course, setting up this array also required spirit stones!
Everyone was furious at his frenzied pursuit of spirit stones! But there was nothing they could do! They could only empty their savings to set up an array!
Yang Yao couldn't possibly set up all of them. Those who were array masters could learn from her. Of course, learning required spirit stones, but one could also earn spirit stones after learning. Seven or eight array masters stepped forward to learn.
Each faction has about one formation, and factions with more people will set up several. There is a large archipelago here, and each faction has chosen an island to enter to change their cultivation techniques. The place where Qi Wantian is located has become the exclusive domain of the Qi family.
Qi Wantian endured the lightning tribulation on the second day. When he came out of the formation, all his injuries had healed, and he had even changed his clothes.
Qi Zhiheng secretly grumbled that his great-grandfather was still as reserved as ever. He had already foreseen that Qi Wantian might be naked after being struck by lightning. However, the rain after the lightning tribulation was an excellent way to repair the body, allowing the person who had suffered the tribulation to fully recover from all their injuries.
Qi Wantian's powerful aura was no joke. As the first cultivator among their group to reach the Golden Core stage, he was truly enviable!
At this time, Si Yuan also showed signs of breaking through.
They were already at the peak of Foundation Establishment, practically on their way to the Golden Core stage. Qi Zhiheng had someone bring the pills with them. He didn't plan to sell these pills; he didn't have many left. Besides, he had probably already squandered most of the spirit stones held by other forces. His image as a greedy money-grubber was deeply ingrained, so it was best to tone it down now. He could keep the pills for his family. If he had any extra, he could sell some outside the cultivation world.
The entire sea was covered by dark clouds. Besides their small island, thunder rumbled from other islands as well, a result of the lightning strikes following the successful conversion of their cultivation techniques.
Clearly, some people have already successfully converted.
Qi Zhiheng glanced around but didn't say anything more.
They are relatively lucky now, as they have been teleported to a place where there is no one, which makes it easier for them to improve their strength and avoid being noticed by other cultivators when they go out.
This was also one of Qi Zhiheng's considerations.
Seven days later, Si Yuan successfully broke through. Qi Zhenhe then entered a breakthrough state.
They had been accumulating constipation for some time, so overcoming it was a natural process.
The tribulation of entering the Golden Core stage was incredibly powerful. Si Yuan did not take any pills when he entered the Golden Core stage, which allowed him to go further in the process.
As Qi Zhenhe watched the lightning strike down again and again, he suddenly entered a state of enlightenment.
Seeing his condition, the Qi family stopped bothering him.
Yang Yitian was somewhat anxious. Seeing everyone else's cultivation level rapidly improving, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient. Since entering the cultivation world, he hadn't yet felt any significant improvement in his cultivation.
"Uncle, how are you feeling?" Yang Yitian couldn't help but ask Qi Zhenhao, who was standing next to him. He had a good relationship with Qi Zhenhao and wanted to know if he felt the same way.
"You mean cultivation? I think it's pretty good. Even without cultivation, spiritual energy keeps flowing into my body!" Qi Zhenhao expressed his delight at the wonderful feeling.
Yang Yitian then asked the Qi family members, and the answers were all similar. They all showed signs of breaking through, and it was likely that after Qi Zhenhe finished his breakthrough, the next breakthrough would follow.
Fortunately, the people in the cultivation world are unaware of this group of oddballs. They think they can break through to the Golden Core stage so easily? And they even line up to do so!! Do they think Golden Core cultivators are as common as cabbages?
Yang Yitian wanted to ask Qi Zhiheng for advice, but unfortunately Qi Zhiheng had entered a meditative state, and his cultivation was also increasing rapidly.
Qi Zhiheng had never felt such a dense concentration of attribute-less spiritual energy, almost dozens of times that of the Xuanling Continent. Besides the attribute-less spiritual energy, there was also a great deal of other types of spiritual energy. As if drawn by some force, they all gathered in Qi Zhiheng's direction. There weren't many cultivators here with special spiritual roots like Qi Zhiheng, so the spiritual energy that no one else was absorbing was drawn to him.
Qi Zhiheng felt as if he had been enveloped in a large cocoon by this spiritual energy. Even the purity of the spiritual energy was incomparable to that of the Xuanling Continent. Most of the spiritual energy here could be absorbed without him having to compress or remove impurities. He had never tried to work in his life because of this easy cultivation. He was in a state of blissful euphoria.
