Chapter 727 - 727 0459 Of Course It Cant Be Wasted_2

Chapter 727: Chapter 0459: Of Course, It Can’t Be Wasted_2 Chapter 727: Chapter 0459: Of Course, It Can’t Be Wasted_2 Qi Tian was unwilling to waste even a second. Once he had taken his position, he began his cultivation immediately. He opened all the pores on his body, his cultivation methods revolved, his meridians were unimpeded, and he absorbed the thick Spirit Qi from the Stone Milk Liquid into his body.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed. Once again, Qi Tian had completely absorbed the Stone Milk Liquid in the small pool number one. Apart from a few droplets of Stone Milk Liquid that seeped down from above and dripped into the pool, Qi Tian could no longer feel the presence of any additional Stone Milk Liquid.

Qi Tian used the Heavenly Dao Engine’s sensing function for Spirit Qi to perceive the condition of the small pool number one from all angles. Aside from the underground area that he had hollowed out, and spiritual objects several kilometers above his head, Qi Tian didn’t sense anything else.

Qi Tian could clearly feel that his cultivation had reached a significant level, and with a little more effort, he might be able to advance to the next level. His first thought was to take out some spirit stones and arrange an Array of Spirit Gathering, but such a move would attract too much attention. He definitely couldn’t use low-grade spirit stones for his cultivation, and the effect of using middle-grade spirit stones wasn’t good either. He would have to use top-grade spirit stones. If Liang Yuqi and others came to inspect the situation and saw him using top-grade spirit stones, he could be in danger.

Qi Tian then thought of using the Stone Milk Cream that he had dug out, but he quickly dismissed this idea. The risk was the same as using top-grade spirit stones, he couldn’t take such a risk.

After some thought, Qi Tian focused on the spiritual objects above him. According to his estimation, those spiritual objects should be liquid rich in Spirit Qi, possibly regular spirit water or even Stone Milk Liquid. If he could channel more of them into the small pool number one, it would be much easier for him to absorb them. Additionally, even if someone discovered this, he could find a reasonable excuse for it.

Of course, in order to use these spiritual objects for his breakthrough, Qi Tian wouldn’t dig another tunnel to reach them as he did when he was extracting Stone Milk Cream. Qi Tian decided to give it a try, he opened his right hand and a black hole formed in his palm. A Transporting Whirlwind flew out of his palm. Under Qi Tian’s deliberate control, the Transporting Whirlwind rapidly shrank until it became as thin as a hair.

Qi Tian used the Heavenly Dao Engine’s sensing function for Spirit Qi and constantly scanned the situation above him. He used his Divine Sense to control the extremely small Transporting Whirlwind and guide it into the tiny passage where the Stone Milk Liquid flowed upwards.

Once the Transporting Whirlwind entered the passage, the flow rate of the Stone Milk Liquid increased dramatically, as if power had been applied to it, increasing at a geometric rate.

The Stone Milk Liquid, which used to only drip down into the small pool number one every few seconds, was now flowing continuously. Although the flow was thin, only about the thickness of an embroidery needle, it was continuous and fast. If someone were to hold a glass under it, they could fill it up in just a few minutes.

The abundant Spirit Qi contained in this Stone Milk Liquid didn’t dilute with the increase in flow speed. However, it didn’t reach the level of the top-grade spirit stones, it only reached the level of the top-level of middle-grade spirit stones. Nevertheless, it differed from the middle-grade spirit stones in that cultivating with the middle-grade spirit stones was a bit troublesome. While cultivating with Stone Milk Liquid, one could directly absorb the rich Spirit Qi within it, without consuming too much time for conversion.

Qi Tian was overjoyed. He hadn’t expected that the method he came up with on a whim would be so effective. Using the sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine for Spirit Qi, he found another spot in the small pool number one where the Stone Milk Liquid was seeping down. Similar to before, he sent a Transporting Whirlwind into it, and the flow rate of the Stone Milk Liquid coming down doubled immediately.

Qi Tian was quite satisfied with this result. He immediately sat down in the small pool number one and began his cultivation. The heavily flowing Stone Milk Liquid was all converted into nourishment for his cultivation.

Before he knew it, three more days had passed. Qi Tian consumed enough Stone Milk Liquid to almost fill the cargo bed of a small truck. His Qi Sea, which seemed to have been satiated, shuddered abruptly and rapidly expanded outward, adding about half of its original radius before it finally stopped.

At this point, Qi Tian finally made another successful breakthrough in his cultivation realm, successfully advancing to the tenth level of Foundation Establishment, the Foundation Establishment Peak.

Not every cultivator can reach the Foundation Establishment Peak at the tenth level of Foundation Establishment. Many cultivators at Foundation Establishment Stage claim to have reached the Foundation Establishment Peak when they reach the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, while others regard the ninth level as the Peak. Those who can cultivate to the tenth level of Foundation Establishment account for only a small fraction of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

However, even among these cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage, their foundation could not possibly be as solid as Qi Tian’s. They could not possibly double the radius of their Qi Sea every time they make a breakthrough in their cultivation realm. Among them, it would be quite an accomplishment if they could double their Qi Sea’s area. Many cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Peak might have only doubled their Qi Sea’s area from when they started. These kinds of cultivators would never be able to reach Gold Core Realm in their lifetime.

Of course, like Qi Tian, the difficulty of forming a Gold Core can be seen from the fact that the radius of the Qi Sea gains another half each time.

After advancing to the tenth level of Foundation Establishment, Qi Tian didn’t immediately stop his cultivation. He stayed in the small pool number one for another day, using the abundant Stone Milk Liquid in it to thoroughly consolidate his cultivation realm. Only then did he end his cultivation and slowly open his eyes.

As he calculated the time, Qi Tian realized that there wasn’t much time left before the end of the half-month period. Continuing his cultivation now wouldn’t yield significant results. Next, Qi Tian needed to consolidate his tenth level of Foundation Establishment and then prepare for forming the Gold Core. Both of these tasks, especially the latter, wouldn’t be easy to accomplish.

Qi Tian, of course, wouldn’t waste the remaining time. He used the Transporting Whirlwind as a pump to continuously extract the Stone Milk Liquid, and then stored it. Although he couldn’t take away all the spiritual objects above the small pool number one, he could extract a considerable amount of Stone Milk Liquid using this method.

Indeed, when Liang Yuqi reentered the cavern to inform Qi Tian that they could leave, Qi Tian had extracted more than ten cubic meters of Stone Milk Liquid using this method, which was a great harvest.

With half a day left to end this cultivation session, Qi Tian stopped extracting the Stone Milk Liquid. He wanted to give the small pool number one some time to recover, so that the channels where the Stone Milk Liquid dripped could return to normal. In case there were irreversible changes, he could use this time to come up with a good excuse. However, his worries were unfounded. When he retracted the Transporting Whirlwind, the Stone Milk Liquid initially dripped down quickly. But after more than an hour, the dripping speed of the Stone Milk Liquid returned to normal, with no noticeable change.

Qi Tian, acting as though he had just ended his cultivation, came out when he heard someone knocking on his Defensive Barrier. He dispelled his Defensive Barrier and emerged from the small pool number one. Liang Yuqi stood outside the small pool, looking at him with a complex expression.

Qi Tian quickly bowed to Liang Yuqi and said, “Greetings, senior.”

“Qi Tian, you sure have a lot of courage, daring to take Jia Zhengrong’s cultivation spot.” Liang Yuqi said in a deep voice.

Qi Tian quickly pretended to be afraid, saying, “Senior, I was forced to do this. I was minding my own business and cultivating. It was someone else who sought me out and insisted on switching spots with me. I initially did not agree.”

Liang Yuqi waved her hand and said, “You don’t need to explain to me.”
