I Have Refined Qi For 3000 Years! Book 7: Chapter 9: Unable To Breakthrough

Book 7: Chapter 9: Unable To Breakthrough

Seeing Jiang Lan let the centipede go, Bai Qiuran had actually vaguely realized something at the time.
But he didn’t stop it either, just like he taught the monkey the cultivation method. When the human race would truly overthrow the gods, and the power of the demon race and other foreign races was also indispensable.
And anyway, judging from the future history, Bai Li did not lose in the fight against the Demon Ancestor.
For a while, Bai Qiuran settled down in this valley, carefully teaching Bai Li and the monkey’s various techniques, while taking care of Jiang Lan’s cultivation and daily life.
When Bai Qiuran taught Bai Li and Hou’er exercises and techniques, he occasionally found a small black centipede lying quietly on the bluestone next to the woods.
But Bai Qiuran didn’t care, he would teach whatever he could, just like Jiang Lan said, what should happen would happen.
During Jiang Lan’s weak time, Bai Qiuran had been taking good care of her while doing business. As for the reason why he was so attached to Jiang Lan, it was because Jiang Lan gave him the kindness in form of the sword Tranquil Autumn Water, or it was because he had some feelings in his heart? Bai Qiuran, a love idiot, didn’t know himself.
However, after Jiang Lan passed the Body Forging stage, successfully refined Qi, and got better, and took over the housework, her attitude towards him was subtly better than before.
It’s not that Jiang Lan didn’t get along well with him before, but now Bai Qiuran felt that Jiang Lan seemed to be inexplicably close to him a lot.
In the past, there was always an invisible gap between the two, as if they were outsiders, but after Jiang Lan lost her supernatural power, the way they got along with each other felt like a real old husband and wife.
However, Bai Qiuran’s dense when it came to love. Under the premise that Jiang Lan has not made a clear statement, it was unlikely that the old virgin for more than three thousand years would take the initiative to attack. Moreover, compared with his own love life, Bai Qiuran’s main energy still focused on the matter of planning the prospects for the human race.
In addition to teaching Bai Li’s cultivation methods, Bai Qiuran had another very serious problem: the souls of those humans who have been slaughtered by the gods.
These souls were temporarily collected in the picture by him. Like other living human races, his spells temporarily put these souls in a dormant state, and this also contains the soul of Bai Li’s wife.
They have lost their physical bodies. According to the rules of his era, they should now go to the Underworld and be reborn again through the six paths of reincarnation.
But in this age ruled by the gods, the Underworld that was established step by step by the immortals did not exist. Except for the rock formations under the earth, there was only hot lava, reaching the center of the earth. There was no plane of the dead.
In this era, after a human died, their soul would either wander the earth alone until dissipating between the heavens and the earth, and the will and energy would return to the great cycle of heaven and earth, or they would become food for the strange beasts or certain soul-loving gods.
Bai Qiuran was now thinking about how to build this embryonic form of the Underworld. It would certainly not take a day’s work, but he must at least leave the foundation well.
However, although he was appointed as the future ghost emperor of the Underworld in later generations, in fact, he has not entered the real core of the Underworld. He couldn’t figure out what the system of six paths of reincarnation looked like.
Fortunately, Wise Immortal seems to have studied about the Underworld. Bai Qiuran still remembered that when he was in the Wise Immortal Cave Mansion, there was a special trial that sent the tester to the Underworld for a half-day tour. Both he and Li Jinyao encountered this trial.
“During the Sacred Dynasty era, because of the sudden disappearance of the Eastern Green Immortal Dynasty, the human race had to re-establish a lot of magic systems that had developed to its heyday during the Xian Dynasty period. Among them, one of the greatest systems in the reconstruction of the Sacred Dynasty was the analysis of life and death. They have figured out some parts of the rules of reincarnation.”
Wise Immortal said to Bai Qiuran:
“Although it’s just some shallow knowledge, it’s enough as an introduction to guide your thoughts. I believe that with your abilities, you will be able to create the following things by yourself.”
So after the space spell system, Bai Qiuran had to start studying the life and death spell system.
The progress this time was even slower than that of his learning space spells, because space spells, no matter how obscure and profound, at least have derived a complete system by Land Immortals during the Sacred Dynasty era, unlike the spells of the life and death system which were just fragments.
Except for Wise Immortal’s starter guide, Bai Qiuran could only explore and try to create by himself.
After being immersed in the life-and-death spells, time passed without knowing it for several years. Because Bai Qiuran was busy doing business, Jiang Lan took the initiative to take over all the housework after she recovered a little, allowing Bai Qiuran to devote himself to the creation of life and death spells.
On the other hand, Bai Li, who was extremely talented, has received Bai Qiuran’s teachings and his cultivation level has also advanced by leaps and bounds. In the past, he had to rely on sneak attacks to kill the lowest-level gods, but now, he could face five lower-level gods by himself.
And the monkey who was cultivating with him also made rapid progress and successfully completed the transformation from a beast to a demon. When it successfully transformed, it even triggered a change in the rules between heaven and earth, and thunderclouds gathered. It almost exposed the location of Bai Qiuran and the others.
Fortunately, Bai Qiuran quickly smashed the thunderclouds away, avoiding them being discovered by the courtiers of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
However, even if it successfully transformed into a demon, the monkey still liked to maintain its animal form. When it was fine, it would hang out with other wild beasts in the mountains all day long. After practicing, it now appeared to be the mountain king in a nearby mountainous area.
Bai Qiuran had seen this monkey teaching other beasts its techniques, but Bai Qiuran didn’t care about it either.
In addition to Bai Li and the monkey, Jiang Lan, a girl who practiced the exercises one after another, finally reached the top level in the Qi refining period, but at the same time, the problems Bai Qiuran had been worried about for a long time also appeared.
“Qiu Ran.”
Jiang Lan called Bai Qiuran, a month after she came to live in this valley, she began to use this name.
“I don’t seem to be able to build a foundation.”
“Ok?”
Bai Qiuran quickly sat her down, and then said:
“Let me see your situation.”
His Soul Awareness penetrated into Jiang Lan’s body, and the water-attributed Qi slowly circulated in her body, and it seemed that there was nothing unusual.
“Try to cultivate.”
Bai Qiuran ordered.
Jiang Lan acted according to his words, and the Qi in her body quickly flowed in accordance with the movement of the exercises. During the flow, these saturated Qi also continued to expand, oppressing the meridians in Jiang Lan’s body, causing her to expel these Qi from the body.
And with this operation, Bai Qiuran also found the crux. The reason Jiang Lan couldn’t build the foundation, just like him, was that the energy-holding Sea of Qi had a problem.
Although Jiang Lan can be regarded as the goddess with the most similar appearance to the human race except for the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, her body was different from the human race after all.
If Bai Qiuran was unable to build the foundation because his own Sea of Qi was infinite and unable to compress the Qi to form the True Qi, then Jiang Lan’s body simply did not have a Sea of Qi that could hold the True Qi.
