Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 169 - 116: Mid-stage Qi Refining, Simultaneous Cultivation of Legal Body

Chen Yi was dutifully cultivating, with his attention never straying away from the progress of the war.

Luckily, he also held a position as a physician in Zhao's Medical Hall, which allowed him to gauge the situation on the frontlines through the hustle and bustle of the clinic.

As it currently stood, due to the low-level cultivators no longer heading to the frontlines, the number of injured had decreased.

Perhaps those in the late stage of Qi cultivation, generally the middle-aged and elderly, rarely engaged in combat and therefore were injured less.

Regardless, the current situation was something Chen Yi could handle.

One day,

Liu Huo rushed into Chen Yi's courtyard,

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen! Quick, I've got my hands on a Red Blooded Demon Carp!"

Oh?

Chen Yi took it over, seeing Liu Huo's hopeful gaze on him. He understood that Liu Huo intended to help him break through to the second layer of body refining with the pill.

Chen Yi began to advice:

"Liu Huo, think carefully. You are now at the first layer of body refining and the fourth layer of Qi refining, so you don't have to join the frontline. However, once you break through to the second layer of body refining, you will be considered as both a Law Body and a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi refining.

If needed on the frontline, you might be dispatched to join."

Liu Huo disregarded it: "Brother Chen, everything I have now, I earned it through my own efforts. If there's a chance to go to the frontline, I'm willing to go.

If I can make a significant contribution, maybe there's a chance for me to break through to late stage of Qi cultivation in this lifetime.

Of course, if something unexpected happens to me, please help take care of my wife and children."

Chen Yi nodded; he knew that Liu Huo led a hard life - he had been injured and suffered a lot, but he was definitely a survivor.

"By the way, leave the demon carp here with me and come find me after ten days."

Liu Huo thanked him and left.

Chen Yi extracted the essence blood of the demon carp and combined it with the first-tier middle-grade Turtle Snake blood and some high-year spirit medicine that he had previously bought to increase vitality and blood.

He refined three first-tier, middle-grade, top quality Vitality and Blood Pills. These three first-tier middle-grade Vitality and Blood Pills had the effect of a first-tier, high-grade pill when used by body cultivators due to the presence of Turtle Snake blood and demon carp essence.

With Liu Huo's current cultivation level at the first layer of body refining, he wouldn't be able to withstand them. These three pills were actually prepared by Chen Yi for himself.

After adjusting his condition, he took one.

The Vajra Sutra spun into action and the vitality and blood in Chen Yi's body started increasing rapidly after a long time, especially as the major tendons in his body started being refined by the vitality and blood.

Progress toward the third level of body refining unexpectedly advanced at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Three days later, after Chen Yi had fully assimilated the Vitality and Blood Pill, he found that his cultivation level at the third layer of body refining had probably improved by as much as half!

Theoretically speaking, if he were to consume 20 such pills consecutively, he could reach the perfection of the third layer of body refining and start striving to reach the fourth level of body refining!

Of course, consuming too many of the same type of pill would increase resistance, and the vitality and blood power gained in this way would be significantly weaker than cultivation achieved slowly. It is not the best choice, unless it involves heavenly and earthly treasures, which would not harm the roots. But such things are too rare, and there is not enough to share amongst the powerful.

But it would be acceptable to consume such a pill periodically to mildly accelerate the growth of his body refining cultivation.

Chen Yi put away the other two pills,

Then he began contemplating on refining a pill that would aid Liu Huo in breaking through to the second layer of body refining.

Chen Yi's current level of pill refinement was not yet up to the ancients' standard, where they could design a pill formula to target a specific effect. However, he had a lot of experience in refining vitality and blood pills and was a Body Cultivator at the third level of body refining. He had a wealth of experience in advancing and breaking through, especially the stage from Refining Skin and Flesh to Refining Bones.

He thought that he might as well give it a try. After all, they would not go to waste, and he could use Liu Huo to practice.

Seven days later, Chen Yi produced three pills.

All of them were first-tier mid-level pills with two pill lines. However, they were of different colors - dark red, bright red, and black-brown.

"Brother Chen, what's the meaning of these three pills?"

"They can all help Body Cultivators break through. I have refined three types for you to choose from.

The one with intense efficacy may cause some pain during the breakthrough,

The one with moderate efficacy has a certain chance of failure and may increase the difficulty of your next breakthrough,

And the last one...only use it as a last resort. This pill can greatly consume your body refining talent. It can definitely ensure your breakthrough to the second layer of body refining, but it will be difficult to progress further after that."

Liu Huo looked surprised and delighted: "Brother Chen, I knew you were the best to me! And you've given me three choices!

I'll choose the one with intense efficacy. I'm not afraid of pain, and if I get injured, you can help heal me.

I'll break through right here!"

Completely trusting Chen Yi, Liu Huo sat right there in his courtyard, swallowing the blood-red pill.

Half a day later, overcoming extreme pain, Liu Huo erupted into laughter:

"Brother Chen, I've made a breakthrough! From now on, I'll be a cultivator at the second layer of body refining just like you, hahaha!"

Chen Yi calmly looked at him: "The Qi refining period is nothing more than bullet bait in the world of immortal cultivation. So, even after reaching the second layer of body refining, you are just tougher bullet bait, there is not much difference. There's no need to be so happy."

His enthusiasm doused, Liu Huo calmed down. However, he couldn't help but think of Chen Yi's calm demeanor and wondered if Chen Yi had secretly reached the third layer of body refining. "No, no, that's impossible," he reassured himself, "I must be overthinking."

Before he left, Chen Yi handed Liu Huo a top-quality Iron Skin Pill, and instructed:

"If you wish to join the frontline, I won't stop you. In case you encounter any life-threatening dangers, take this pill. It might be of some help."

Full of joy, Liu Huo thanked Chen Yi again before leaving.

Chen Yi knew that Liu Huo was going to report his breakthrough to the second layer of body refining to the family's executive office. Unlike Chen Yi, who preferred to keep his breakthrough hidden, Liu had no such intentions.
