Gou Refining Essence into Qi in the Dharma-ending Age

Chapter 6 Lin Chao's Transformation at the Second Level of Fetal Breathing

The Lin family has been quite lively these past two months.

Of the thousands of people with the potential for cultivation, the vast majority had low-grade potential, and a few had mid-grade potential.

Different people have different personalities.

Some people, upon learning of the arrival of the "Spirit Extinction" era and having no hope of remaining in their families, chose to simply give up. Those who had been quite diligent in their cultivation abandoned their positions, took up family posts, and went to the mortal world before the three-month period was over.

Since there's no hope anyway, and we'll all turn to dust in a hundred years, we might as well start enjoying life now.

As these people gradually left, the Lin family dwindled in size.

Those who remained were either still clinging to illusions about their families, believing that by asking the family for help they might have a chance to stay, or extremely diligent individuals like Lin Yuan.

Those who have already embarked on the path of cultivation wish to take another step forward with the help of their family's abundant spiritual energy before leaving.

Like Lin Yuan, those who have never embarked on the path of cultivation want to do so as much as possible.

These kinds of people generally realize that once they leave the Lin family, they can only rely on themselves.

Of course, two months is far too short a time.

Based on past experience, unless one is a true genius with exceptional aptitude and outstanding character, it is very difficult for someone who is just starting out in cultivation to reach the first level of embryonic breathing.

Lin Yuan then heard some comments, some of whom were about to enter a meditative state, but because their families expelled them, their mentality was affected, and they had not been able to enter a meditative state for two months.

As for those who already possess cultivation, even if they are only at the first level of the embryonic breathing stage, it would take them two months to break through to the second level without the help of resources. They wouldn't even be able to develop superior-grade root bones.

Of course, this does not include Lin Yuan.

With the help of the Dao Seed, it's as if he naturally possesses the effects of high-grade elixirs.

"I'm about halfway through the second level of Fetal Breathing... There's not enough time left to advance to the third level; the gap is too large."

"With the improvement of cultivation and the enhancement of vital energy, more spiritual energy can be refined, but without spiritual energy resources, the speed of replenishing vital energy is still much slower."

The core of the Dao Seed's operation lies in its own essence and energy.

When Lin Yuan was still an ordinary person, his vital energy was not strong. He could replenish his depleted vital energy by eating just a little food.

They can embark on cultivation, possessing powerful essence and energy. Even if they can refine ordinary food, the efficiency is very low.

This is also the core factor that has limited his cultivation speed over the past two months.

Moreover, this factor is difficult to change.

Although the family still provides ordinary food, don't even think about resources containing spiritual energy.

Of course, he could also try leaving the family and seeking resources outside.

However, without understanding the outside world, it is by no means easy to obtain resources from it. It would be unwise to rashly leave a family with abundant spiritual energy.

"After leaving the family, we need to find a way to solve this problem and prepare for the era of extinction."

"For the next month, let's focus on 'Thousand Waves'!"

Lin Yuan didn't allocate much time to the supernatural martial art "Thousand Layered Waves," but with the support of his strong comprehension, he still reached the level of minor mastery.

Next, if one's cultivation level cannot undergo a qualitative change, then a better option would be to qualitatively change "Thousand Layer Waves" to enhance one's combat power.

Lin Yuan then got up, intending to leave the quiet room.

For two months, apart from eating to replenish his energy, he hardly left this place.

Next, we'll shift our focus to supernatural martial arts techniques; a change of environment isn't bad either.

When I left the quiet room, the sun was high in the sky outside.

Enjoying the sunshine, Lin Yuan thought of something: "I wonder where I've been assigned?"

The family assigns these people to mortal realms and arranges their identities.

However, he has been engrossed in spiritual practice lately and has not gone to see it.

Therefore, they didn't even know their assigned positions.

Of course, he didn't really care.

Only spiritual practice is the right thing to do.

With a month left, Lin Yuan planned to go and take a look.

If the assigned identity is good, it can save some trouble.

However, just as he was leaving, he saw a familiar face at the entrance of the courtyard.

Lin Chao is here again.

He was somewhat surprised, not expecting Lin Chao to still be in the family.

Moreover, the originally timid and thin boy seemed to have become a different person. His temperament had changed dramatically, and he looked incredibly confident, with a calm and collected look in his eyes.

However, upon seeing him, Lin Chao remained polite: "Brother Lin Yuan."

"Lin Chao, what brings you to my courtyard?" Lin Yuan nodded in response.

He always felt that Lin Chao was quite extraordinary, but he himself had only just begun his cultivation journey and couldn't discern much.

Lin Chao didn't answer immediately, but instead smiled and said, "Brother Lin Yuan, you didn't leave the family right away, are you planning to embark on cultivation before leaving?"

Lin Yuan found it even more strange, as Lin Chao in the past would never have asked about these things.

He immediately became curious and wanted to find out more, so he smiled and replied, "Which one of those who stays in the family isn't like this? Although there will be an era of spiritual destruction later, it won't arrive immediately. There is a difference between leaving the family with cultivation and leaving the family without cultivation."

"Yes!" Lin Chao nodded. "Unfortunately, too few of us have embarked on cultivation in the past two months. Even if we manage to enter a meditative state, without the support of resources, it will ultimately be difficult to succeed."

Lin Yuan remained silent.

From just a few words, he still couldn't figure out Lin Chao's purpose.

Before he could speak, Lin Chao stated his purpose: "Brother Lin Yuan, you helped me before, and I have always remembered it. Now, it's my turn to help you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he touched his pocket and then took out a palm-sized, warm white jade bottle.

Lin Yuan was stunned the moment he saw the white jade bottle.

There aren't many places where this kind of white jade bottle can be used, namely...

"Brother Lin Yuan, there are ten Spirit-Replenishing Pills in this jade bottle. They can replenish the body's spiritual power and accelerate cultivation. Perhaps they can help you reach the first level of the Fetal Breathing Realm before leaving the family," Lin Chao said proactively.

Yes, the white jade bottle is mostly used to hold elixirs.

Lin Yuan knew this, of course.

But where did Lin Chao get the elixir?

It should be noted that Lin Chao only possessed inferior aptitude and was orphaned, making his situation even worse than Lin Chao's. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been bullied as a child.

Logically speaking, it should be impossible to obtain such a precious elixir.

He opened his mouth slightly, as if to ask a question.

Lin Chao spoke even faster: "Brother Lin Yuan, don't ask where these pills came from. Just know that their source is legitimate and they can help you cultivate. Consider it an opportunity I've had."

Lin Yuan finally understood where Lin Chao's confidence came from.

The Spirit-Replenishing Pill is a commonly used cultivation pill for cultivators at or below the third level of the Fetal Breathing stage. It can also be used to help cultivators quickly advance to the first level of the Fetal Breathing stage after entering meditation.

However, using it in this way is too extravagant, and many cultivators at the second or third level of the embryonic breathing stage use it for daily cultivation.

Providing ten at once is definitely not an ordinary stroke of luck.

"Why are you telling me all this?" Lin Yuan asked.

If he were to receive such an opportunity, he certainly wouldn't tell anyone.

The more people who know, the greater the risk.

"Brother Lin Yuan, as I said before, you helped me before, so now it's my turn to help you. I just hope that you won't reveal my secret, at least not before I leave the family." Lin Chao's answer remained unchanged.

Lin Yuan was at a loss for words upon hearing this.

Do you think Lin Chaotian is naive?

After a long silence, he said, "Don't worry, you should know what kind of person I am."

"Of course I know." Lin Chao smiled and then handed the white jade bottle to Lin Yuan. "Then I'll be leaving now, Brother Lin Yuan."

"Goodbye." That was all Lin Yuan could say. Watching Lin Chao's departing figure, he murmured, "Truly dazzling!"

Good character always brings joy.

They were willing to risk exposure to repay the debt of gratitude.

……

After Lin Chao left Lin Yuan's courtyard, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind: "By saying this, you are gambling with human nature. I told you when you became my disciple, never gamble with human nature, otherwise I am now and you will be in the future."

"Master, I cannot rest easy if I do not repay your kindness!"
