Twenty plus days passed by quickly.
On this day, the effect of the elixir of refining essence into Qi, which was taken for the first time, was finally completely refined.
Chen Yun's cultivation also greatly increased.
In the morning, he was practicing boxing techniques.
Suddenly, Wang Lao hurriedly walked in from outside.
As he passed by the guest hall outside, Wang Lao Zhi hurriedly walked in and greeted Chen Yun, who was practicing boxing, saying, "Brother Chen, it's been a month since I last saw you leave the inner courtyard. Have you been busy lately..."
In the middle of his speech, Wang Lao stopped and said with surprise, "Hmm?"
Chen Yun stopped practicing boxing and bowed, "Brother Wang, I haven't been leaving the inner courtyard recently because I've been busy with cultivation."
Wang Lao Zhi didn't say anything either, but just stood in the living room with a stunned and uncertain expression, staring at Chen Yun without blinking his eyes.
Chen Yun felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze and timidly asked, "Brother, why are you staring at me with such an expression?"
Wang Lao Zhi said with a somewhat peculiar tone, "I feel your true Qi is thick all over. Although I haven't used the Qi-viewing technique to examine it, have you... reached the late eighth-level master?"
Chen Yun replied modestly, "I just reached the late eighth level a few days ago."
Wang Lao Zhi remained silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed and shook his head, "Your talent…… your talent……"
Saying this, he walked all the way up to the second floor.
Chen Yun naturally understood what Wang Lao Zhi meant, which was simply that he was cultivating at an incredible speed, surprising everyone.
Indeed, taking the Elixir of Refining Essence into Qi for one month is equivalent to thirty months of rigorous practice.
Taking into account that he had already cultivated to the middle stage of an eighth-level master before, it was only natural for him to have reached the late stage now.
At the end of the day, it is still too incredible for the Elixir of Refining Essence into Qi.
"Although the external objects are external, the true Qi refined from them is still one's own."
Again, Chen Yun began practicing the five elements boxing on the other side. He secretly thought in his heart, "Only recently, when I took the Elixir of Refining Essence into Qi, there were some slight surges of vital energy. I asked my teacher before and he said that it was because my cultivation level was not high enough to control the power that such a situation occurred."
The Elixir of Refining Essence into Qi is definitely fine.
Because this is a problem from within, not caused by the elixir.
Chen Yun can tell the difference.
What is the problem with the heart state?
Chen Yun pondered for a moment. He neither felt impatience nor had any desire to dominate with strength, so how could his heart state be unstable?
Chen Yun was a bit confused.
But currently, the slight surges of vital energy are not affecting his cultivation.
Naturally, he didn't place much importance on it.
However, there is something that Chen Yun has been worrying about in his heart.
That is to quickly cultivate to the seventh-level master and seek revenge from Lin Feiyun!
"Could it be because Lin Feiyun caused some slight fluctuations in my heart?"
Chen Yun thought it should not be the case, he just wanted to take revenge, without other impurities, how could it involve heart state?
As the saying goes, "The boat will be straight at the bow if you don't turn it," he didn't delve further into it. If there was really a problem, he thought, it would become clear when it erupted.
Chen Yun now has only one thought, to quickly cultivate to the lower level of a master.
Just as he was thinking, Wang Laozhi walked down from upstairs, somewhat puzzled, "Where is the master? Brother Chen, do you know?"
Chen Yun said, "I haven't seen the master leave the house. He might be visiting friends."
Wang Laozhi suddenly seemed to remember something, "Oh, I see. I remember that the birthday of Golden Mother is approaching. The master might be out preparing gifts for her birthday. It's likely that he won't be back for a month or two."
A month or two won't be back?
It seems like that's about the time frame.
At that time, I should have cultivated to be a seventh-level master with the Elixir of Refining Essence into Qi.
Chen Yun thought in his heart that when the master returned, he could learn the arts.
He made up his mind that he must cultivate to the seventh level before the master returned.
...
At midnight, at the turn of the sub-hour.
Thinking about the goal he had set for himself, Chen Yun was filled with motivation.
Under the glow of the oil lamp, he placed the medicine one by one into the small copper cauldron and began to brew the Elixir of Refining Essence into Qi for the second time.
It took about three seconds, and the elixir was ready.
Chen Yun poured the elixir into a sea bowl and waited silently for the liquid to cool.
During this period, he secretly thought, "I am getting closer and closer to the seventh-level master. In another two months, I will reach my goal. Then I can learn powerful techniques and take revenge on Lin Feiyun!"
Previously, Lin Feiyun bullied me with his seventh-level master power.
To be honest, Chen Yun really had a sense of helplessness and being at a loss back then.
After all, a seventh-level master was too powerful for me at that time.
And now, unconsciously, I had cultivated to the late stage of an eighth-level master, significantly narrowing the gap between myself and Lin Feiyun.
Chen Yun estimated that, even if there was still a gap between himself and Lin Feiyun, it wouldn't be insurmountable.
At least with the BloodGold Cutting Demon Sword, I should have the power to fight.
However, to ensure safety, he decided to wait until he reached the lower-level master and learned the arts before confronting Lin Feiyun.
Chen Yun cherished his life and did not do things without a guarantee.
While he pondered, the elixir slowly became warm.
He picked up the bowl and drank it all at once.
The medicine's power surged within his abdomen, transforming into one after another stream of true Qi.
...
A month has flown by.
During this time, Chen Yun's strength increased further with the help of the Elixir of Refining Essence into Qi.
Although the Elixir of Refining Essence into Qi still had some surges of vital energy, it didn't affect his cultivation, and he didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, he calmly trained his mind and allowed himself to become more peaceful.
...
That night, at dawn, the sky was clear with few stars and a bright moon.
The day where his cultivation would be recorded in the internal scripture of the Transmission Hall had finally come.
Because the effect of the second dose of the Elixir of Refining Essence into Qi had passed, Chen Yun decided to go out for some fresh air. It had been about two months since he started his cultivation in seclusion, and it was indeed getting a bit stuffy.
Upon going outside, he found that Wang Lao Zhi had newly summoned several long workers.
These newly-summoned disciples were practicing boxing under the guidance of some senior disciples.
Meanwhile, upon seeing Chen Yun, they also introduced themselves through Li Si, Tang Master, and others while constantly greeting him.
"This is our Brother Chen, Qu disciple, quickly kowtow."
"Having seen Brother Chen."
"Qu disciple, please show your respect."
"Brother Chen, it's my first time meeting you. Please take care of me."
"Master, hello."
Just as they were chatting, Wang Zixu and Cai Rujin walked towards them.
Upon seeing Chen Yun, the two immediately went forward to bow.
"Having seen Master Chen."
"Having seen Master Chen."
Wang Zixu and Cai Rujin made a gesture of respect.
Chen Yun slightly nodded and said, "Please show respect to the two disciples."
After the greetings, Cai Rujin was somewhat curious and asked, "Master Chen, I see that you have a radiant appearance. It's obvious that your true Qi cultivation has reached a certain level. May I ask what realm it is?"
He hadn't activated the Qi-viewing technique, so he couldn't accurately determine it.
Wang Zixu also looked curious.
Even the people not far away, such as Li Si, Yu Lü Píng, Wang Si Yan, and Tang Master, who were practicing boxing over there, were curious.
It hadn't even been a year since Chen Yun joined the Transmission Hall, and he had already cultivated true Qi. This was a matter that everyone in the Transmission Hall talked about with great interest.
So, of course, everyone wants to know what level Chen Yun is currently cultivating to when they hear Cai Rujin and Wang Zixu ask about the realm.
Seeing that everyone was interested, Chen Yun was just about to tell the truth.
Suddenly, Wang Laozhi and Zheng Wenshu also walked over from the east.
Everyone quickly bowed.
Chen Yun did the same.
In a short while, almost everyone in the Transmission Hall was present except for Zhongli Quan.
"Master Wang and Master Zheng have arrived. It seems like the conversation about asking Brother Chen about his cultivation level cannot proceed any further."
"I really want to know what level Master Chen has reached in his cultivation and to take him as a role model."
"Ah, you shouldn't take him as a role model, you can't keep up with him."
"Exactly, Master Chen has cultivated true Qi in just a few years and less. No one in our Transmission Hall has ever done so since its founding."
A group of long workers were whispering to each other.
They all thought that today would be the day they wouldn't find out about Chen Yun's strength.
Who would have thought that Zheng Wenshu would be greatly surprised at the beginning and ask, "Brother Chen, how did you cultivate like this?"
Unexpectedly, Zheng Wenshu exclaimed in amazement upon arrival, "Brother Chen, how have you cultivated?"
Wang Laozhi was also hesitant to believe it, "A month ago, I saw you as a late-stage eighth-level master. In just one month, you've made such a significant leap in cultivation?"
What?
Master Chen reached the late stage of the eighth-level master a month ago?
The entire group was secretly taken aback.
It's known that people with a bit weaker aptitude might take more than two decades or even three decades to reach the late stage of an eighth-level master.
This "slightly weaker aptitude" is in comparison to Wang Zixu, Cai Rujin, and the like who are considered geniuses. It's not the case for these long workers.
Li Si, Wang Si Yan, and Yu Lü Píng all looked at him in shock.
At the same time, they also had new curiosity.
Since Chen Yun reached the late stage of the eighth-level master over a month ago, where is he now?
As the crowd was full of curiosity, Chen Yun voluntarily dispelled their doubts.
He saw him, with slight modesty, address Wang Laozhi and Zheng Wenshu, "The two senior brothers don't make fun of me. One of you is nearing the refinement of Golden Dan, and the other has already forged Golden Dan a few months ago. My insignificant cultivation level is close to that of the seventh-level master. It's not worth mentioning."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zixu's pupils dilated.
Cai Rujin also couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Even the two geniuses were surprised, let alone the rest of the long workers.
My heavens.
What kind of cultivation speed is this?
In just a year or so, you're close to becoming a lower-level master?
Li Si, Ning Master, Yu Lü Píng, and others couldn't help but inwardly exclaim in amazement.
It's known that even people with decent talent need decades of cultivation to reach the level of a lower-level master.
If their talent is slightly lacking, they might not achieve it in their entire life.
And now, Chen Yun, who has only been at the Transmission Hall for a few months, is about to become a lower-level master?
Such a cultivation speed is unprecedented! It will certainly be recorded in the history of the Transmission Hall, no one can match it!
Li Si couldn't help but take a shallow breath.
Tang Master even swallowed his saliva.
The remaining long workers were also shocked in their hearts.
At this moment, they finally realized the vast gap between ordinary people and "geniuses"!
If ordinary people are fireflies, then Master Chen to them is the bright moon in the sky!
Not only were they shocked, but even Wang Zixu and Cai Rujin, the two "geniuses", were shaken in their hearts.
Whether for ordinary people or cultivators, they were both truly talented individuals.
However, compared to Master Chen, both Wang Zixu and Cai Rujin felt inferior.
It seemed as though all their pride was insignificant in the presence of Master Chen.
If there was anyone whose thoughts were different from the norm, it was probably only Wang Si Yan.
She looked at Master Chen with eyes that sparkled, but it was unclear what she was thinking.
Of course, Chen Yun could not probe into someone else's mind.
He naturally did not know how shaken everyone's hearts were.
Yes, it looks very impressive to be close to becoming a lower-level master.
However, Chen Yun had no sense of pride or satisfaction at all.
Because he knew that even reaching the level of a lower-level master was only the beginning of the path.
Right now, the only thought in his heart is to quickly breakthrough to the level of a lower-level master.
Once he breaks through to the level of a lower-level master, he will learn formidable arts from his master that even he would use to describe as powerful.
At that time, Chen Yun believes he will have the ability to defeat the formidable enemy Lin Feiyun who once seemed unbeatable to him.
Upon this realization, he secretly thought, "Just right for me to test my cultivation results against that demonic woman!"
