However, the Amnesia art also had certain risks. If the target’s spiritual power exceeded the user’s by too much, there was a possibility of backlashes that could damage the user’s spiritual energy.

Lu Yi glanced at level 1 behind the Amnesia art on the interface and felt that it was better not to attempt it until he had cultivated the art to a higher level. He didn’t want to risk any accidents.

Putting aside the matter of Amnesia, Lu Yi redeemed the final reward for defeating Jiang Fan.

In front of Lu Yi appeared a white porcelain bottle. He opened the lid, and rich spiritual energy immediately wafted out. Satisfied, Lu Yi sealed the bottle cap. It was the Centennial Spiritual Dew, an extremely precious resource for enhancing cultivation.

Lu Yi kept the item safely and then thought of something. He mentally issued another task to himself, this time to defeat Lin Wan’er. He was curious whether continuing to issue tasks would yield more arts to learn.

However, Lu Yi was quickly disappointed.

Task: Defeat Lin Wan’er (Progress: 0/1)

Reward: Top-Grade Qi Condensation Elixirs x 50/ Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixirs x 5

Accept: Yes/No

The rewards were not new arts, just elixirs.

Lu Yi realized that the rewards for sparring tasks were somewhat random. The majority of the time, they offered cultivation resources like elixirs. The reward for the previous task with a new art was probably just luck.

Lu Yi then issued other tasks for sparring with other senior disciples. He found that the rewards for sparring with Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong remained the same: one drop of Centennial Spiritual Dew and a ray of sword intent. However, the reward from sparring with Tie Man decreased from four Perfect-Grade Physique Elixirs to three. The rewards for sparring with other senior disciples were all Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixirs, which weren’t particularly special to Lu Yi.

Feeling somewhat helpless, Lu Yi realized that he might need to check if there were new sparring targets in the inner sect once he entered.

At the same time, Lu Yi pondered if there were other ways to obtain rewards through tasks. Gathering more rewards could accelerate his growth.

‘If only I could get a Millennium Spiritual Dew or a Myriad Spiritual Dew, that would be wonderful.’ Lu Yi thought.

While Lu Yi was daydreaming, Wang Siqi’s voice sounded, “Yi, are you back?”

Lu Yi snapped back to reality and replied with a smile, “I’m here!”

…

Lu Yi achieving first place in the Outer Sect Grand Competition naturally delighted Wang Siqi and Lu Gaoyang. He had become so outstanding, and they were brimming with pride.

Lu Gaoyang specifically bought some expensive spiritual herbs and monster meat. Wang Siqi prepared a feast, and the family celebrated together.

Lu Gaoyang indulged in quite a bit of alcohol and had many conversations with Lu Yi. As a father, he naturally hoped for Lu Yi’s success.

Although Lu Gaoyang held a position as an outer sect attendant and had some status there, he also experienced some hardships and difficulties. Now that Lu Yi’s talents had inexplicably become powerful, his future looked promising. Lu Gaoyang was happy about that and didn’t wish for Lu Yi to end up just like him, a mere outer sect attendant.

Wang Siqi was equally joyful. She, who usually didn’t drink, had a little that night, expressing her mixed feelings of pride and loss as her son grew up.

Lu Yi, though transmigrated, was also their biological child. Seeing his parents so happy, he felt genuinely content.

Looking at the still-youthful faces of Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi, Lu Yi thought about how once he achieved a higher cultivation level and had more resources, he would help his parents with their cultivation. He wanted them to become stronger and even potentially reach longevity.

On that night, Lu Yi didn’t cultivate. Instead, the three of them chatted late into the night. Afterward, he went to his room and rested.

During this period, Lu Yi had been cultivating diligently every day, which left him exhausted at times. After a night’s rest, he felt refreshed and his mood improved.

Lu Yi realized that cultivation required a balance between exertion and rest. Occasionally taking breaks could actually enhance efficiency and improve one’s state of mind.

In the following days, the visitors to Lu Yi’s home were endless. They included Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi’s colleagues, who were also outer sect attendants, coming to offer gifts and congratulate Lu Yi on winning the Outer Sect Grand Competition and entering the inner sect.

They admired Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi, knowing that if Lu Yi became powerful in the future, their status would also improve. They might not be too far from forming a Golden Core and becoming different from ordinary outer sect attendants.

At the same time, some elders also came to congratulate Lu Yi, including Qi Feiyu, the elder of the Affairs Hall where Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi were working.

Lu Yi also learned that Qi Feiyu took great care of Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi and was very respectful to Qi Feiyu. This made Qi Feiyu’s old face glow.

A genius who had cultivated two arts and a cultivation technique to the Regain Simplicity stage at Level 7 Qi Refiner stage and had even grasped sword intent respected him. Qi Feiyu naturally felt delighted

After all, Qi Feiyu was just an ordinary Golden Core cultivator. If nothing unexpected happened, he would never be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in his life. Lu Yi was different from him. It was almost easy for Lu Yi to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future. If Lu Yi had some luck, it would not be difficult for him to become an Incarnation cultivator. Lu Yi even had the hope of becoming a Dao Foundation cultivator. Lu Yi was considered a big shot in Greenfield and a powerful figure in the entire Eastern Region.

Qi Feiyu also secretly planned to take care of Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi more in the future.

At the same time, some elders from the inner sect also came to find Lu Yi, hoping he would join their peaks. However, Lu Yi said he planned to participate in the assessment for the Silk Peak, and no one disturbed him after that.

Apart from the visitors, Jiang Fan also came to visit Lu Yi once. Lu Yi proposed a friendly match, which Jiang Fan gladly accepted.

The two found a secluded small forest and sparred for an entire afternoon. When Jiang Fan left, Lu Yi found himself with an extra twenty drops of Centennial Spiritual Dew.

Lu Yi saw Jiang Fan off enthusiastically, hoping he would come again next time.

In addition to Jiang Fan, Bai Yulong, and Li Yun also paid visits. Lu Yi sparred with them for an afternoon each. After obtaining the fifth ray of sword intent from Bai Yulong, his rewards changed to five Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixirs.

Lu Yi was a bit disappointed; he had hoped to further upgrade his sword intent. However, the five rays of sword intent still made his swordsmanship formidable, much stronger than when he only had the first ray.

As for reward sparring with Li Yun, it was just an ordinary Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixir. Lu Yi currently needed Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixirs for cultivation, so he welcomed them all.

Li Yun was a battle enthusiast. After a whole afternoon, Lu Yi received a whopping 75 Qi Condensation Elixirs from sparring with him. It was quite remarkable.

Adding the ones Lu Yi got from Bai Yulong and the ones he previously obtained, Lu Yi now had over a hundred Perfect-Grade Qi Condensation Elixirs. He could use them to cultivate for quite a while. This brought a lot of joy to Lu Yi.

…

Time flowed by, and it was already the evening of the sixth day. Lu Yi sat cross-legged in his room, spiritual energy circulating around him, and his aura fluctuating intensely.

Inside Lu Yi’s body, the surging spiritual energy contained in the Centennial Spiritual Dew was causing his cultivation to rapidly advance.

The White Cloud Qi Refining Art at level 9 was simply unreasonable. Lu Yi felt that even the cultivation speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator absorbing spiritual energy might not surpass his.

Generally speaking, the spiritual energy contained in a drop of Centennial Spiritual Dew was enough for a Qi Refining cultivator at Level 7 to refine for several months. However, for Lu Yi, it was a matter of just one night to completely absorb it.

With such an absorption efficiency, Lu Yi’s cultivation speed naturally accelerated significantly. As he circulated his spiritual energy, Lu Yi felt a barrier. He had reached the bottleneck of the Level 7 Qi Refiner stage.

Lu Yi’s heart surged with excitement. In less than a month, he had broken through to the Level 8 Qi Refiner stage. He felt that his speed was simply astonishing.

Just as Lu Yi was about to attempt the breakthrough, he suddenly paused, realizing something, ‘Hold on… What about the task I had issued to myself to break through the stage?’

Lu Yi found it odd that he hadn’t thought of that when he broke through to the Level 7 Qi Refiner stage. Perhaps it was because he had been too excited. Then, he decided to give it a try.

Lu Yi mentally muttered to himself, ‘I want to break through to the Level 8 Qi Refiner stage.’
