Qi Zhiheng remained silent throughout the journey, but Mu Ran spoke first: "What's wrong with you? You look like this after reading the news."
Qi Zhiheng did not answer the question, but asked, "Do you know how to ascend to the Third Heaven?"
"The Triple Heaven?" Mu Ran turned her head. "Why are you asking this?"
Qi Zhiheng said calmly, "I want to go up."
Mu Ran thought she had misheard: "What did you say? You want to go to the Third Heaven?"
"Yes." Qi Zhiheng affirmed his answer once again.
Mu Ran's eyes widened: "You're just an Earth Immortal, wanting to go to the Third Heaven? That's probably impossible. Generally, only Immortal Lords have the qualifications to go up from the Second Heaven, unless they have someone above them."
Qi Zhiheng paused for a moment and said, "Can't someone who isn't a Celestial Lord go up?"
Mu Ran: "I don't know about that. I've only just reached the second level of the Heavenly Realm. Who would be asking about the third level now? But my master is preparing to break through. He should be trying to find a way to reach the third level. If you want to know how to get there, we can go back and ask him."
Qi Zhiheng nodded slightly.
Upon returning to He Guang's residence, Qi Zhiheng explained his purpose.
He Guang didn't think Qi Zhiheng was overestimating himself, and still mentioned a way to reach the Third Heaven that he knew: "I know a way to temporarily go to the Third Heaven, but whether you can stay in the end depends on your own performance..."
Qi Zhiheng emerged from He Guang's training ground, pondering the news he had just received.
This is an alchemist competition. The top ten alchemists in the Second Heaven can go to the Third Heaven to participate in the alchemy competition after the event.
The qualification to go to the Third Heaven is only temporary. If Qi Zhiheng wins more matches in the future, he can stay and continue to participate. If he loses as soon as he goes up, he will be sent back to the Second Heaven.
If one can truly obtain a higher quota in the Third Heaven and be favored by the Lord of the Third Heaven, then one can continue to stay in the Third Heaven.
Qi Zhiheng immediately registered. Then, under the watchful eyes of the judges, he refined a batch of second-level immortal pills.
Only those who can refine level two Immortal Spirit Pills are qualified.
Of course, to win a place in the top ten, Qi Zhiheng would have to become at least a level three alchemist.
Qi Zhiheng could easily refine level-two pills, but he had never tried refining level-three immortal pills.
After registering, he went into seclusion again and refined a large batch of second-level immortal pills. Y, X-D, J.
After selling the Immortal Elixir, he first paid back the Immortal Stones he owed Mu Ran, and then went to buy the Level 3 Immortal Herb.
When Mu Ran heard the news, she thought Qi Zhiheng had gone mad: "These level three immortal pills are not so easy to refine. I'm afraid all your materials will be wasted in the end."
Qi Zhiheng didn't explain further: "I need to go to the Third Heaven."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Mu Ran found it strange. "With your talent, you'll be able to get ahead sooner or later."
Qi Zhiheng glanced at him and said, "I'm going to refine pills." Then he left.
Before refining the pills, Qi Zhiheng first absorbed some immortal spiritual energy to adjust his condition to its best.
They had only just begun refining elixirs.
Qi Zhiheng possesses profound immortal spiritual power, and due to having ten spiritual roots, he is almost equivalent to a celestial being.
His ability to refine pills beyond his level was all thanks to his extraordinary soul power and spiritual power. But if you disregard those, he's not even as good as his disciples who can refine pills beyond their level.
Therefore, this time, Qi Zhiheng wanted to try refining a level three pill with a cultivation level equivalent to that of a celestial being.
The first batch of pills naturally failed.
Qi Zhiheng didn't rush to start refining the second batch. He first analyzed the reasons for the failure. Only after the immortal spiritual energy was overflowing did he begin refining the second batch.
After three consecutive failed attempts, Qi Zhiheng finally succeeded.
Although the final product was not quite up to par, consisting of only three low-grade Immortal Spirit Pills, it was still a first step towards success.
In the days that followed, Qi Zhiheng's pill-refining skills became more and more proficient, until he finally refined ten full-grade pills and possessed three top-grade pills.
After paying a quick look at the time, I learned that Qi Zhiheng had emerged from seclusion three days before the competition.
He left early because it would take some time to get to the competition venue.
Mu Ran, standing beside him, asked, "How's the pill refining going?"
Qi Zhiheng handed over three bottles of pills directly.
This contains the first three batches of Immortal Spirit Pills he successfully refined, but the quality of these pills is relatively poor. Qi Zhiheng also has five bottles of Level 3 Immortal Spirit Pills, which are mostly high-grade and top-grade pills.
"You actually refined a level three pill!" Mu Ran was somewhat incredulous. His previous understanding had been shattered by Qi Zhiheng. A mere Earth Immortal could refine a level three pill!
Even though this is only a low-grade pill, it is enough to demonstrate Qi Zhiheng's strength as an alchemist.
Mu Ran admitted that she was a little jealous...
Upon arriving at the alchemy location, Mu Ran watched Qi Zhiheng enter the arena.
The competition consists of three rounds. Half of the alchemists are eliminated in the first round, fifty are eliminated in the second round, and ten are left in the final round.
Most of the alchemists here are level two alchemists, and there are only seven level three alchemists. With the enemy being weak and us being strong, Qi Zhiheng fought his way through the levels and directly reached the final level.
To avoid attracting trouble, he had tried his best to conceal his talents. Even though his ability to refine second-level pills as a terrestrial immortal had already attracted the attention of many people, Qi Zhiheng did not want those third-level alchemists to target him.
He didn't want to attract any unnecessary trouble, at least not before entering the Third Heaven.
Qi Zhiheng ultimately secured the qualification to temporarily travel to the Third Heaven with a ninth-place finish.
Mu Ran walked back with Qi Zhiheng, stealing glances at Qi Zhiheng every now and then.
Qi Zhiheng closed his eyes helplessly and then opened them again: "Don't be like this, just say what you have to say."
Mu Ran said somewhat shyly, "Actually, it's nothing, I just think you're pretty amazing."
Qi Zhiheng gave a faint "hmm" and then said, "I've always known I'm very capable."
Mu Ran was speechless.
Upon returning to He Guang's residence, they discovered that someone inside was undergoing a tribulation of lightning.
Upon inquiring, Mu Ran discovered that her master had broken through to the next level and was undergoing tribulation while they were leaving.
Qi Zhiheng wasn't surprised, but said, "It seems I won't be able to wait for your master to say goodbye."
Qi Zhiheng left five days later. This time, Qi Zhiheng came back only to say goodbye and take away everything he left behind.
"Since your master has broken through, I should at least give him a congratulatory gift." Qi Zhiheng took out a box containing a bottle of level-three immortal spirit pills. "Have your master open it."
"Okay!" Mu Ran readily agreed, then said with some regret, "It's a pity about your pills; I haven't had a chance to sell them yet."
Qi Zhiheng thought for a moment and then suggested, "How about we sell them in your master's name? After this breakthrough, your master will probably be able to refine level three immortal pills. That way, it won't be too conspicuous for you to help him sell level three pills."
Mu Ran agreed to the request: "Okay, we'll go sell the pills right away."
Qi Zhiheng then stuffed two bottles of high-grade pills into his hands: "Sell these two bottles as well, I need some immortal spirit stones."
The two turned around and went to the medicine shop to sell the medicine.
Mu Ran's expression was somewhat complicated when she saw that Qi Zhiheng had taken out high-grade pills. She hadn't expected that Qi Zhiheng's pill-refining skills had reached such a level.
Qi Zhiheng did not offer any further explanation.
Ten days later, he joined the crowd that was heading to the Third Heaven.
This time, the teleportation array was activated with great force, and all the immortal spiritual energy resources needed for the teleportation were borne by the Third Heaven.
Qi Zhiheng stood out conspicuously among the group of immortals and celestial beings.
The two celestial beings, in particular, were very curious about an earth immortal who could rank among the top ten.
Qi Zhiheng pretended to be completely unaware and continued to wait for the teleportation array to activate.
When the time came, the first seven Immortal Lords entered the teleportation array. They should have entered the teleportation array in order of their ranking, but the alchemists seemed to have tacitly pushed Qi Zhiheng to the back.
Qi Zhiheng had no intention of getting entangled with them at this moment. As long as he could enter the Third Heaven, he didn't care much about these trivial matters.
The pressure within the teleportation channel was also present, and Qi Zhiheng's current physical condition was somewhat uncomfortable. He activated the "Five Elements Body Forging Technique" and began to forge his body.
Two hours later, Qi Zhiheng's body felt noticeably more resilient.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Third Heaven.
Qi Zhiheng's first impression was that the spiritual energy here was extremely rich.
Subsequently, what he could sense in his body distracted him from his focus on spiritual energy.
That was a sensation belonging to a part of his soul. Just as another part of his spirit was somewhere in this vast world.
With a thought, Qi Zhiheng activated the Daoist Contract within his body.
Sure enough, a response was sensed somewhere.
Qi Zhiheng's heart was pounding. He was certain that Yang Yitian was in the Third Heaven.
"Are you stunned? Hurry up and move along, what are you doing blocking the way?" the celestial being in front urged.
Qi Zhiheng then came to his senses, nodded, and left with the group.
At least he now knows that Yang Yitian is in the Third Heaven. Once he can officially settle down in the Third Heaven, he will go find him.
Judging from the fact that the partnership contract is still in effect, Yang Yitian's soul should still be intact.
The partner contract is tied to the soul; it's impossible for Yang Yitian's soul to dissipate while the partner contract remains intact.
Moreover, he could sense that the small part of the soul he had cut off to repair Yang Yitian's soul was still somewhat connected to him. If it were refined by a Celestial Lord, that part of the soul would probably no longer exist.
Qi Zhiheng's sense of the divine soul was actually very weak, because his divine soul had long been repaired by devouring other divine souls, which indirectly led to the consequence of his fragmented soul perception.
The immortals participating in the alchemist competition mounted the welcoming mounts and flew towards the competition venue.
