Inside the Water Mansion, Chen Mobai sat upright on a cushion.

A glow representing the Five Elements emerged on his face, flashing one by one, and finally transformed into a deep earthy yellow color.

This indicated that the Five Elements technique had completed a cycle, then turned into a platinum color, and from gold to water… The Five Elements were continuously generating and transforming. After nine major cycles, a bead of sweat appeared on Chen Mobai’s forehead.

After a month of cultivation, under the nourishment of the second-tier spiritual energy in the Water Mansion, his Five Elements technique had finally reached the peak of the fifth level.

When the time was ripe, he needed to break through in one fell swoop.

This was what Qingping Shangren had taught. Chen Mobai now regarded every word spoken by this Elemental Infant master as a sacred decree. Without any hesitation, feeling that he was on the verge of a breakthrough, he swallowed the Purple Fire Pill that he had been holding in his mouth.

Although this breakthrough pill only had an efficiency of twenty to thirty percent for breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, it was the best that Chen Mobai could afford.

There were thousands of Immortal Gate pills and Spirit Water, but those that could help cultivators break through their realm barriers were always the most sought after.

In ordinary pharmacies, such pills were not sold at all. Even if they were, they could only increase the success rate by five to ten percent at most.

Ordinary cultivators could only hope for the pills released by large pharmaceutical factories or the official flagship stores of the Immortal Gate from time to time, which were basically high-quality products.

The Purple Fire Pill was one of them.

After the pill entered his stomach, the sugar coating on the surface was instantly dissolved by spiritual power, and then a gentle Yang energy spread out, instantly permeating his entire body.

Chen Mobai’s Five Elements technique, which had been operating to its limit, suddenly advanced to the sixth level as if it had been pushed.

But this did not mean he had successfully broken through.

It was easy to break through, but the most important thing was to stabilize the realm after the breakthrough and prevent it from falling back.

A wisp of purple energy faintly emerged from his brow.

The purple energy rose slightly, like fireworks, but it seemed to be about to extinguish at the next moment.

This indicated that the medicinal power was beginning to be exhausted, and the Five Elements technique had only completed more than half of the major cycle. If he could not complete a full cycle, it meant that this breakthrough had failed.

But Chen Mobai was not in a hurry. He stabilized his mentality and placed his hand on a spiritual stone beside him.

Although it was his first time refining a spiritual stone, he had searched for a lot of content on this aspect in the auxiliary cultivation software, and he had already understood the key points and taboos.

With the help of the spiritual stone, Chen Mobai’s realm, which was about to slip, stabilized again, and he even completed a major cycle quite easily.

He had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining!

Opening his eyes, Chen Mobai, who was always calm, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

His hard work over the past month had not been in vain.

Of course, although he was able to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining due to various factors, he knew that the biggest credit for breaking through within a month was the lecture videos of Qingping Shangren.

The Elemental Infant realm powerhouse, with his profound understanding, explained the Five Elements technique of Qi Refining so thoroughly.

Over the past month, Chen Mobai had been watching his videos at school during the day, applying what he learned at the Water Mansion at night, coupled with the spiritual energy of this second-tier treasure land, and the assistance of the Purple Fire Pill and spiritual stones. He felt that if he couldn’t break through, he would really be a fool.

“Should I prepare to change my cultivation technique?”

After being excited for a while, Chen Mobai quickly calmed down and returned to reality.

The Immortal Gate had a rule that all cultivators must practice the Five Elements technique when they start Qi Refining. When they reach the seventh level of Qi Refining, they can choose to continue practicing the Five Elements technique or switch to other techniques.

The advantages and disadvantages of the Five Elements technique were very obvious. For cultivators with average spiritual root attributes, it could keep their cultivation speed not slow, but their combat power was average. However, the adaptive spiritual power of the Five Elements technique could be seamlessly converted into any attribute technique.

Chen Mobai’s mother, Tang Pancui, practiced the Five Elements technique. She had been stuck at the sixth level of Qi Refining for many years, but she had a good mentality.

Chen Mobai’s father, Chen Xinglan, had switched to a technique called “Melting Fire Technique”, which he had paid to learn at the Chixia Academy. He was now at the eighth level of Qi Refining and worked in a workshop of a magical tool factory. The company provided free accommodation with first-tier top-grade spiritual energy to its employees. To save money, he spent most of his time living in the company.

The national library of the Immortal Gate had an artificial elemental spirit. As long as you input your spiritual root attributes, it would automatically match the most suitable cultivation technique.

It only cost 1 point to try this feature.

Chen Mobai had tried it when he was bored before, and the result given by the artificial elemental spirit was the Five Elements technique, which made his face turn green on the spot.

This meant that although he was a true spiritual root, he was basically no different from a pseudo spiritual root.

But now it was different.

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai took out his phone and opened the app of the Immortal Gate National Library.

But soon he found that his phone had no signal.

“I almost forgot, only the ‘Auxiliary Cultivation’ app, which is represented by Turtle Treasure, has a signal here…”

Chen Mobai checked the time. Although it was still early, he decided to go back early.After breaking through with the Purple Fire Pill, one cannot cultivate for a while and can only nourish the meridians with Qi nourishing techniques. However, Chen Mobai used the pure spiritual energy from the spirit stone for the latter half of his cycle, which seemed to neutralize all the yang fire effects of the pill. He didn’t feel the sense of fullness in his meridians that he had when he broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

It was as if he didn’t need to nourish his Qi, and his sixth level of Qi Refining was already completely stable.

However, to be on the safe side, Chen Mobai did not continue to cultivate today.

There was no rush, cultivating immortality also required a balance of work and rest.

Just as he put away the spirit stone that he had drained, a sudden pop-up appeared on his phone screen.

“Do you want to enable the proxy?”

Huh?

After a brief surprise, Chen Mobai thought of the great help Qingping Shangren’s lecture videos had been to him, and was about to click “Yes”.

But just as his finger was about to press down, a sudden flash of insight reminded him of the fifth-level halo after being proxied in the “Assisted Cultivation” app, and his face instantly turned pale.

His hand shook, and he was so scared that he immediately clicked “No”.

This was the National Library, the foundation of the Immortal Gate, not some software from a small workshop.

Once he became a fifth-level user of this National Library, even if the three major halls of the Immortal Gate turned the entire Earth Star upside down, they would find him.

But giving up this proxy, Chen Mobai felt quite regretful.

He quickly opened the Turtle Treasure app and found that the “Proxy” button was protruding and lit up, indicating that it could be used, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

How exactly was this feature triggered?

Chen Mobai thought of his recent breakthrough to the sixth level of Qi Refining. Could it be that each breakthrough could activate it once?

But why did it take several days last time?

Was it because this breakthrough was perfect and the realm was stable?
