Left Hand Pointing at the Moon

Chapter 5 Perfect Breakthrough to Qi Gathering Realm, Going Out to Seek Opportunities

Two days later.

Xu Chuan was still cultivating the Xuan Yang Jue in the training room.

At this moment, the Yuan Force in his body had been completely transformed into the Great Sun Yuan Force of the Xuan Yang Jue, and his martial foundation was incredibly solid.

Relying on his tenacious will, Xu Chuan had weathered the most difficult phase of cultivating this technique.

He was now halfway into the Qi Gathering realm.

"Rumble!"

As the last trace of Great Sun aura was refined, this incomplete Heavenly-tier technique was completely mastered by Xu Chuan.

A heaven-shaking transformation then began within his body.

His bones and flesh were slowly strengthened under the tempering of the Great Sun Yuan Force.

From all directions, infinite Yuan Qi was drawn, and the Yuan Stones on the ground shattered. Heavenly Yuan Qi appeared in the training room and was subsequently absorbed into Xu Chuan's Dantian.

Fortunately, Xu Chuan had taken out the Yuan Stones beforehand. Otherwise, the Yuan Qi provided solely by the training room would not have been enough for him to absorb.

At this moment, behind Xu Chuan, a dazzling phantom of a Great Sun appeared.

The phantom emanated the unique scorching heat of the Great Sun, and a majestic heavenly might enveloped him.

Thus.

He had completely crossed the threshold of the ninth level of Body Tempering and officially became a martial cultivator in the Qi Gathering realm.

But this was merely the beginning.

With the barrier of the Qi Gathering realm broken, the benefits of previously burning his own Yuan Force were fully realized.

Xu Chuan's cultivation advanced like a broken bamboo, continuously improving.

Before long, he directly broke through to the second level of the Qi Gathering realm.

His aura completely stabilized.

Only then did the aura emanating from Xu Chuan slowly recede.

"As expected of a Heavenly-tier technique. Even this incomplete version for the Qi Gathering realm has directly propelled me from the ninth level of Body Tempering to the second level of Qi Gathering."

Thoughts surged in his mind.

In just over half a month, Xu Chuan had broken through from the sixth level of Body Tempering to the second level of Qi Gathering. Such an advancement in strength could only be described as monstrous.

Only peerless prodigies could achieve such a significant improvement without damaging their foundation.

Half a month ago, he was still struggling to avoid being expelled from the Holy Land.

And now, by cultivating the Xuan Yang Jue and forging a solid foundation, his martial path, while not entirely smooth, would at least not see him waste years in a single realm.

"Cultivation resources are truly too important. Without these two fortunate encounters, I would never have reached the Qi Gathering realm in this lifetime, and the ultimate outcome would likely have been an early death, just as the system predicted."

Xu Chuan couldn't help but sigh.

The progress made in the past half month was immeasurably greater than his eight years of arduous cultivation.

This earth-shattering change.

Even he felt a sense of unreality.

"Having advanced to the Qi Gathering realm, passing the outer disciple assessment is now a sure thing. I no longer have to worry about being expelled from the Holy Land every day."

"However, there are still more than ten days until the next outer disciple assessment. This is a good opportunity for me to go out and seek some fortune."

While the Taiyi Holy Land had a large number of outer disciples, the chances of encountering significant opportunities were slim.

And the inner sect was not something he could access yet!

It would be better to venture outside the Holy Land and try his luck.

He could also use this time to practice the martial skill called Crimson Blood Saber Technique.

With this thought.

Xu Chuan got up and left the training room.

In just two days, his five hundred Yuan Stones, both what he had and what he spent on renting the training room, were completely depleted.

Although the incomplete Heavenly-tier technique was powerful, the resources it consumed were also terrifying.

If he didn't go out to seek opportunities soon, he might not even have enough resources for his subsequent cultivation.

Then he would return to the days of struggling with a lack of cultivation resources and slow progress.

Returning to his residence, Xu Chuan packed his belongings and once again walked out of the Holy Land's mountain gate.

His destination was still Taiyi City.

As a colossal human city, Taiyi City had a staggering daily flow of people, far exceeding that of disciples within the Holy Land.

In such an environment, there were bound to be many opportunities!

Moreover, he had left in such a hurry last time that he hadn't had a chance to properly explore Taiyi City. This time, he planned to take his time.

He felt as light as a feather.

At this moment, Xu Chuan's mood was no longer as urgent and anxious as before.

...

Taiyi City, outside the Taiyi Holy Land.

A handsome young man was walking through the city, casually scanning his surroundings.

"Taiyi City truly lives up to its reputation as the largest human city affiliated with a Holy Land. Martial artists gather here, and indeed, all sorts of people can be found."

This time, Xu Chuan was not rushing. Instead, he walked slowly along the streets, silently observing everyone who passed by. Although there were many people, most of them were ordinary folk, and their opportunities were trivial matters that held no interest for Xu Chuan.

These things were of no help to him, who was now in the second level of Qi Gathering.

However, persistence pays off.

After observing countless life scripts, one appeared that caught his attention.

[Name: Lan Feng]

[Realm: First level of Qi Gathering]

[Talent: Very Common]

[Destiny: Herb Boy (Blue), Bully the Weak and Fear the Strong (White)]

[Life Script: God of Wealth Delivery Boy]

[Opportunity: This morning, in Luofeng Valley outside the city, he discovered a five-hundred-year-old Clear Spirit Grass on a stone platform. He then returned and gathered five friends to wear down the guardian beast, harvested the Clear Spirit Grass, and sold it for one thousand Yuan Stones.]

...

Upon seeing this person, Xu Chuan could only exclaim, "Just what I needed!"

He had been worrying about how to obtain some Yuan Stones.

Although Body Tempering Liquid was valuable, it was a secret that could not be revealed. If he sold too much, it would inevitably attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

At his current cultivation level, Xu Chuan could not protect the formula for Body Tempering Liquid, and it might even bring about a fatal disaster.

Therefore, Xu Chuan wanted to find another way to acquire Yuan Stones for his cultivation.

Unexpectedly, shortly after arriving in Taiyi City, someone was delivering Yuan Stones to him!

Without hesitation, Xu Chuan turned and rushed towards Luofeng Valley.

Luofeng Valley was a dangerous area outside Taiyi City, located on the outskirts of the Luofeng Mountain Range. The mountain range was covered in tall, lush primeval forests and was extremely perilous.

It was also inhabited by a large number of demonic beasts. Martial artists from Taiyi City regularly hunted demonic beasts there for Yuan Stones.

Disciples from the Holy Land also frequently entered the Luofeng Mountain Range for training.

Along the way, Xu Chuan encountered and easily dealt with several demonic beasts in the Body Tempering realm.

With his Qi Gathering realm cultivation and the enhancement of the Xuan Yang Jue, he was confident that demonic beasts in the Body Tempering realm would be instantly killed by him.

Xu Chuan estimated that he could even defeat demonic beasts in the third level of Qi Gathering.

He could even manage to deal with demonic beasts in the fifth level of Qi Gathering.

"We've arrived."

Finally, Xu Chuan reached Luofeng Valley.

It was a fragrant and beautiful valley with a black cliff. A river in the valley flowed down the cliff face, forming a waterfall.

Legend had it that a phoenix had once alighted here, hence the name Luofeng Valley.

Looking into the valley, he indeed found a stone platform on a cliff face.

And this Luofeng Valley had only this single stone platform.

"It seems the Clear Spirit Grass is on this stone platform. I need to find a way to get up there."

Xu Chuan observed for a while and was about to perform a three-stage leap into the cave when.

Suddenly, a sense of danger washed over him.
