Chapter 403: Chapter 403: Defying Heaven Elixir

After dinner, Qin Yi took out the Breakthrough Pills and distributed them to Xia Yanbing and the others.

Initially, he had only extorted enough materials from Xie Jiang to make three pills, but he managed to refine five Breakthrough Pills.

"Hubby, will this elixir really help us break through a level?" Duan Yiyi curiously looked at the pill in her hand, which was golden and quite beautiful. However, having been born in a Qi Refiner family, she had never heard of an elixir that could help someone break through.

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "This is a Breakthrough Pill, which can let you directly break through a level."

"I believe you, hubby."

Duan Yiyi sat cross-legged and tossed the pill into her mouth. Even if it were poison, she would swallow it without hesitation if Qin Yi gave it to her.

Xia Yanbing and the others also found places to sit cross-legged and took their Breakthrough Pills.

Once ingested, the Breakthrough Pills instantly transformed into a vast medicinal power that, through their Energy Movement and refinement, could be converted into Spiritual Energy.

Qin Yi sat down nearby; although taking a Breakthrough Pill wasn’t dangerous, it was always good to be cautious, just in case.

Qin Yi wore a smile on his face, as Xia Yanbing and the others had become Qi Refiners now.

In defying the heavens, a Qi Refiner could extend their lifespan if successful. He didn’t want to witness the people around him passing away one by one a century later, leaving him to live on alone.

He originally intended to cleanse and refine the bodies of Liu Zhanyuan and the others, but they were simply too old, with almost no chance of success.

Successfully cultivating Qi was beyond them, but Qin Yi planned to find a way to extend their lives, hoping to let them live a few more years.

Suddenly, Qin Yi looked towards the door; someone had arrived. The Isolation Array he’d set up around the villa hadn’t been withdrawn. Therefore, he would notice immediately if someone approached.

Qin Yi stood up and went to open the door, only to find Duan Xinyuan with a big lump on his forehead, grimacing in pain.

Duan Xinyuan intended to knock on the door but ended up hitting the invisible boundary barrier of the Array, without any preparation, and was directly sent flying.

Suppressing his laughter, Qin Yi approached, "Family Head Duan, what brings you here?"

Rubbing the big bump on his forehead, Duan Xinyuan grimaced, "Is this an Array?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

Duan Xinyuan was shocked, not expecting Qin Yi to be proficient in Arrays.

"Why on earth would you set up an Array at home only to have me bump into it?"

"I’m teaching Xiaobing and the others cultivation and was worried about interruptions, so I set up this Isolation Array. I forgot to remove it."

Duan Xinyuan was astonished, "Have they not passed the age for cultivation? Isn’t it too late to start now?"

"They’ve already successfully become Qi Refiners."

"Really?" Duan Xinyuan was utterly shocked.

Qin Yi laughed, "All five are in the process of breaking through; they should break through a level by tonight."

Duan Xinyuan was dumbfounded; after a long pause, he exclaimed, "Five people breaking through together?"

Qin Yi nodded.

Duan Xinyuan shook his head, "Having five people break through together—I’m afraid only you possess such abilities in this world."

Qin Yi chuckled, "By the way, did you come to see me for something?"

"No, I just heard from Yiyi that your eyesight was restored, so I came to see. Is your eyesight truly healed?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

Duan Xinyuan curiously stared into Qin Yi’s eyes for a while, but couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary, "Who helped heal you?"

"It healed on its own!"

Duan Xinyuan: "..."

"You truly are a prodigy."

Qin Yi smiled; he also felt like a prodigy. Strange and peculiar things seemed to happen to him.

"Come in and sit for a while!"

Duan Xinyuan shook his head, "No, they’re all cultivating, I won’t disturb them."

Qin Yi said, "You’re here at the right time; I need your help with something."

"Go ahead."

Qin Yi handed a list to Duan Xinyuan.

Duan Xinyuan took a look; it was filled with valuable medicinal herbs, "Are these for cultivation?"

"Something like that!" Qin Yi paused for a moment, then smiled, "Help me gather the herbs on this list, with a minimum age of thirty years. The more, the better. I’ll pay whatever the cost."

"Alright!" Duan Xinyuan nodded.

After chatting for a while, Duan Xinyuan took his leave.

The list Qin Yi gave to Duan Xinyuan contained herbs used for refining Breakthrough Pills.

...

...

Among the girls, Duan Yiyi had the best talent. Thus, she was the first to break through, and it only took her three hours.

Next was Liu Yiren, who had already been on the verge of breaking through.

Xia Yanbing and Lin Hongzhuang took over five hours to break through.

Qin Wan’er was the slowest, taking nearly six hours.

The five people successively breaking through naturally brought great joy.

Lin Hongzhuang and the others were the happiest; they had just started Qi Cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, broke through to the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage. Speaking of this speed was enough to drop jaws.

Ordinarily, it would take one to two years, or even three to five years, for a Qi Refiner to break through a level. And that also depended on the right timing, location, and people - none could be missing. Some Qi Refiners were stuck at a level for over a dozen or even twenty years, which was normal.

Duan Yiyi was all smiles, having already reached Qi Cultivation Perfection at twenty years old, definitely deserving the title of a prodigy.

"Hubby, can you give me another Breakthrough Pill?" Duan Yiyi asked sweetly.

Qin Yi tapped her head, "Why? Got addicted?"

"This breakthrough is so fast—if I had a hundred pills, wouldn’t I soon ascend to immortality?"

Qin Yi laughed, "You’re dreaming. A Breakthrough Pill can only be taken once in a lifetime; your body has developed resistance, and taking more won’t help."

"If it were that simple, wouldn’t I already be invincible?"

Duan Yiyi was a bit disappointed to learn that the Breakthrough Pill could only be used once.

"Hubby, you’re already invincible."

"Come on, stop flattering!" Qin Yi playfully messed up her hair into a funny bird’s nest.

"Ahh, you’re awful! My hair is not easy to brush; it’s really troublesome," Duan Yiyi complained. Her hair was so long, reaching her calves, that washing or braiding it took a lot of time.

Xia Yanbing suddenly spoke seriously, "Everyone remember, never talk about the Breakthrough Pill outside. This kind of elixir is too extraordinary; if others find out, it could easily cause trouble."

"The beauty is right. It’s the first time I’ve heard of an elixir that can make someone break through quickly. If Qi Refiners knew, they’d go crazy," said Duan Yiyi.

Liu Yiren nodded, "It’s also the first time I’ve heard about it."

"Alright, it’s late. Let’s all rest for a while; it will be dawn soon."

Qin Yi returned to the room with Xia Yanbing, still contemplating mischief. Unexpectedly, Xia Yanbing directly sat cross-legged by the bed.

"Honey, what are you doing?"

"Cultivating! Didn’t you say cultivation is like rowing a boat against the current; if you don’t advance, you retreat?"

Qin Yi: "..."

"A short delay wouldn’t hurt; you still need to sleep."

Xia Yanbing gave him a peck on the cheek, "Honey, just sleep. I want to focus on cultivation. I don’t want to keep holding you back. I hope one day I can fight alongside you instead of worrying on the sidelines."
