A celestial-grade qi condensation pill allowed him to directly break through from level 1 to level 3.

This made Su Yi hold the Starry Sea Bottle, and he could not help but fall into deep thought.

He kept feeling that this path of immortality was a little different from what he had learned in the academy.

Every realm had to be polished, every bit of cultivation had to be persevered, and every cultivation method had to be comprehended.

However, if he were to take one pill, his cultivation would skip a level. Where exactly was the so-called immortal after a hundred refinements?

At this moment, notifications popped up.

[Detected that the host's cultivation has risen to the third level of the middle stage of qi condensation. Opening time-limited gift bag.]

[Time-limited gift bag: Selling for 20,000. Contains: 10,000 cultivation points.]

[Time-limited gift bag: Selling for 50,000. Opening: Dao-grade magic tool -- Taiyuan ancient flag.]

Dao-grade magic tool?

Upon seeing this, Su Yi entered with curiosity, and an image popped into his eyes.

The earth shattered, and demon beasts raged in the world. A cultivator whose appearance could not be seen clearly came from the horizon. With a wave of his hand, a triangular flag embedded in gold threads descended from the sky.

The triangular flag emitted ten thousand rays of light, and the demon beasts enveloped by the light were all confined in their original positions, unable to move. A moment later, the cultivator waved the sharp sword in his hand, and thousands of demon beasts were instantly chopped into ashes.

At the end of the screen, the introduction of the Taiyuan ancient flag popped up.

[Magic tool: Taiyuan ancient flag (Dao grade).]

[Introduction: Daoist Master of the Taiyuan Realm, a magic tool formed by digging up ancient Taiyuan stones, gathering the qi of Taiyuan to condense the flag, and fusing the power of Taiyuan.]

[Magic tool effect: Consume true essence, shake the ancient flag, and imprison the target.]

Seeing this, Su Yi did not hesitate to buy the goods.

According to the academy's terminology, this Taiyuan ancient flag was a control-type magic tool, and was extremely rare.

After all, they were all cultivators, and their strength was equal. If one could control another person, that would be very powerful.

Therefore, control-type cultivation techniques and equipment had always been very rare.

Basically, when they appeared on the market, they would immediately be swept away.

[Hint: You have successfully purchased a magic tool gift pack. You have obtained the Taiyuan ancient flag (Dao grade).]

[Tip: You have successfully purchased a gift pack of cultivation points. You have obtained 10,000 cultivation points.]

Soon after, the Taiyuan ancient flag appeared within the seal of immortal destiny. Su Yi took it out.

The flagpole was about a foot long, and its entire body was blood-red. Many obscure characters and runes were carved on it, and an ancient aura was emitted from the flagpole.

The two sides of the flag were dark in color, and the runes embroidered with golden threads on the edges were particularly eye-catching. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that there seemed to be a black fog shrouding the surface of the flag. The black fog was slowly rotating. It was like staring into an abyss

[Magic weapon: Taiyuan ancient flag.]

[Grade: Dao grade.]

[Description: A Spiritual Master of the Taiyuan Realm. He dug out the ancient Taiyuan Stone, gathered the Qi of Taiyuan to condense the flag, and fused the power of Taiyuan into a magic weapon.]

[Effect: By shaking the ancient flag, one can imprison the target.]

[Equipment requirements: 900 points or more.]

[True essence consumption: Imprison qi condensation realm / 800 true essence, foundation establishment realm / 8000 true essence, core formation realm / 80,000 true essence.]

After looking at the attributes, Su Yi could not help but be shocked.

The imprison effect of this magic tool was very powerful.

Although the consumption was very terrifying, as his strength increased, this was definitely the most suitable magic tool for him to control.

Holding it in his hand, Su Yi felt that this Taiyuan ancient flag was very handy. He slowly poured spiritual power into it, and the black fog on the surface of the flag quickly surged. After that, a beam of light shot out from the surface of the flag and flew out of the window.

A few miles away from Shangyang city, a cultivator who had just entered the area of Shangyang City in the great desolate region was unlucky enough to be targeted by a demon wolf in the middle stage of the Qi condensation realm. His cultivation technique was mediocre, so he was scared to death and fled frantically.

However, the demon wolf was really difficult to deal with. He had run for a moment, but the wolf was still chasing him relentlessly.

"Help! Can anyone help me?!"

At this moment, he accidentally tripped on a tree root and fell beside the tree trunk.

At this moment, the demon wolf had already caught up. It opened its bloody mouth and was about to bite down on the unlucky cultivator.

"My life is over!"

The cultivator let out a sorrowful cry and was about to close his eyes and wait for death.

But at this moment, from the corner of his eye, he happened to see a beam of light shoot out from somewhere and hit the body of the demon wolf.

In the next second, the demon wolf seemed to have been cast with an immobilization spell, and it froze on the spot, unable to move.

Seeing this, the cultivator was stunned. Looking at the demon wolf that was unable to freeze, a bold idea suddenly emerged in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out a pig slaughtering knife from the immortal destiny seal and carefully walked to the front of the demon wolf, taking the knife and stabbing it.

Then, several bloody holes were poked on the demon wolf's body, and it finally fell to the ground.

Only then did he let out a sigh of relief and bowed to the surroundings. "Thank you for saving me, senior!"

However, there was no movement in the surroundings at all.

The cultivator shook his head in confusion and hurried to Shangyang City.

...

Su Yi naturally did not know that he had inadvertently saved the cultivator's life when he was testing the Taiyuan ancient flag.

After placing the ancient Taiyuan ancient flag back into the immortal destiny seal, his gaze fell on the cultivation points.

Now that he had a total of 10,000 cultivation method points, he should be able to raise the art of longevity to perfection, right?

Once the cultivation method reached perfection, there would be a qualitative change.

With this thought in mind, he called out the attributes of the art of longevity.

[Mental cultivation method: Art of longevity.]

[Realm : major accomplishment (0/6000).]

[Attributes: Lifespan + 300 years, strength + 300, physique + 300, inner breath + 300, cultivation effect permanent + 15.]

He needed another 6000 mental cultivation method points to reach perfection.

Su Yi did not hesitate and immediately started to use the mental cultivation method.

[Hint: you use 6000 mental cultivation method points to reach perfection in art of longevity.]

[Hint: When the art of longevity has been cultivated to perfection, release the realm modification.]

Su Yi was slightly stunned. Then, he opened the technique panel of the art of longevity.

[Technique: Art of longevity (Dao grade).]

[Description: After cultivating, one can consolidate one's body and cultivate one's vitality.]

[Attributes: Lifespan + 900 years, strength + 900, physique + 900, inner breath + 900, permanent cultivation + 45.]

[Dao grade perfection: Automatically modifies and increases attributes according to cultivation level until soul formation stage perfection. (next cultivation level: Foundation establishment stage).]

Seeing this, shock flashed across Su Yi's face.

The mental cultivation course in the academy had already explained that the grade of each cultivation method was related to the level of a cultivator.

Ordinary low-grade cultivation methods could only be used at the qi condensation stage, middle-grade to foundation establishment stage, and high-grade to core formation stage.

However, the art of longevity could actually be used in the soul formation realm.

On the path of immortality, the attributes of each realm had a symbolic divide.

Only when the attributes of the qi condensation realm exceeded 100 did one officially enter the qi condensation realm.

The attributes of the foundation establishment realm exceeded 1,000, and the core formation realm exceeded 10,000.

Among these, the attribute points of breaking through to the next realm accounted for more than 60%. Therefore, on the path of immortality, everyone is certain about the limits of the realm.

However, when the attributes of the perfected art of longevity were taken into account, it was completely uncertain.

He was still at the third level of the middle stage of the qi condensation realm and possessed the strength to contend against a foundation establishment realm cultivator.

If he entered the foundation establishment realm and modified his cultivation technique...

"I seem to have become a genius who can challenge someone of a higher cultivation level?" Su Yi was stunned and could not help but rub his nose.

A genius with a lower grade spirit root who could challenge those of a higher level, how could this be so strange?

And at this moment, Su Yi had never thought that he would only need to spend some money to obtain the mental cultivation method and the cultivation points. These would take other people many years and fortuitous encounters to obtain.

After thinking for a while, Su Yi no longer let his imagination run wild.

Since the art of longevity had been perfected, Su Yi spent the remaining 4,000 mental cultivation points on the Tiangang essence training technique.]

[Hint: You have consumed 1,000 cultivation points. Tiangang essence training technique has been upgraded to minor accomplishment: attack + 2% , strength + 30, physique + 30, inner breath + 30.]

[Hint: you have consumed 3,000 cultivation points. Tiangang essence training technique has been upgraded to major accomplishment: attack + 5%, strength + 200, physique + 200, inner breath + 200.]

After cultivating Tiangang essence training technique to great success, Su Yi could not wait to bring out his own attributes.

[Cultivator: Su Yi.]

[Lifespan: 18/956 Dao years.]

[Realm: Third layer of the middle stage of Qi condensation (463/3000).]

[Attributes: Strength 1341, physique 1345, inner breath 1340, comprehension 30.]

[Qi and blood: 14,795(+ 10%).]

[True essence: 10,720 (consumption -5%).]

[Attack: 7,040 (+ 5%).]

[Defense: 2,690.]

[Innate talent: Low-grade spiritual root.]

[Cultivation effect: 53.]

[Cultivation method: Art of longevity (perfection), Tiangang Sword Finger (five moves), Tiangang essence training technique (great success).]

[Equipment: Nine Revolutions Blood Sun Pagoda.]

After looking at his own attributes, Su Yi rubbed his chin. His current attributes were probably on par with early-stage foundation establishment cultivators.

Thinking of this, Su Yi stood up and prepared to collect the materials for the breakthrough pill.

The materials for refining the mystic condensing pill required a qi condensation realm demon core, midnight flower, full moon grass, and white deer Ganoderma.

Su Yi decided to go to the medicinal herb shop in Shangyang city first to see if he could gather the required medicinal herbs.

After all, for him alone, killing demon beasts was okay, but gathering herbs was really tiring.

After leaving the restaurant, he walked towards a rather large-scale medicinal herbs shop.

"Sir, welcome to Hundred Herb Hall. We have all kinds of herbs here. If you want to buy anything, just say the word." As soon as Su Yi entered, the shopkeeper welcomed him warmly.

"Help me see if you can match all the herbs here." As Su Yi said this, he handed over a note with the name of the herbs needed for the profound condensing pill.

"Okay, let me have a look."

A moment later, the smile on the shopkeeper's face suddenly dropped. He said with some embarrassment, "sir, our shop doesn't have the full moon grass. Even if you walked through all the herb shops in Shangyang City, you wouldn't be able to find it because the full moon grass can only be found in the Demon Spirit Mountain Range."

"What about the others?"

"I have the midnight flower and white deer Ganoderma. How much do you want?"

"I don't want it for now. Let's talk after I get the full moon grass."

After leaving the herb shop, Su Yi touched his chin. It seemed that he really had to make a trip to the Demon Spirit Mountain Range.

Not only for the full moon grass, but also for the inner cores of qi condensation realm demon beasts. He had already squandered all the demon cores when he was refining the pills.
