Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 496: Chapter 488: Striking the Spirit Qi Realm_1

The most powerful family in Black Tiger City is undoubtedly the Fang Family.

The Fang Family boasts five old ancestors, plus the previous generation’s family head who is currently in seclusion, attempting to break into the Spirit Qi Realm. Their strength is unmatched by any other family.

The strength of the Ye Family is also formidable, only slightly less so than the Fang Family.

Over the years, the Fang and Ye families have been like fire and water, openly and secretly fighting and irreconcilable.

It is very likely that the Ye Family had a hand in the incident with the Fang Family’s heirloom medicinal herb.

However, as long as the head of the Ye Family is not a fool, they would certainly leave no evidence for the Fang Family to use against them.

Therefore, the Fang Family ultimately only dealt with their own chief planting master and did not dare to trouble the Ye Family. Both are prominent big families, counted as significant entities by the Black Tiger Gang. Without solid evidence, no one could recklessly make accusations.

To catch a thief, one must catch the loot; this has been the rule since ancient times.

Although the Fang Family did not find any proof that the Ye Family was behind it, they could guess a few things in the dark and were itching to get even with the Ye Family.

Ye Jinglei, who is just over seventeen, has already reached the Later Stage of the Innate Realm. As long as he does not die prematurely, he can at the very least cultivate to the Spirit Qi Realm. If he works hard enough and catches some significant opportunities, becoming an Immortal Master is also quite possible.

Such an important person is practically the successor of the Ye Family.

If he were to die, it would be an immeasurable loss for the Ye Family.

Qin Niu saving Ye Jinglei means that the Ye Family is most likely unwilling to refuse him anything in the future.

By gaining such a powerful friend, Qin Niu, the poor country boy, is quietly accumulating a vast network of powerful connections.

On this day, Qin Niu went up the mountain to cultivate with his wives and Xiao Qing.

The soldiers poisoned by the fire toxin have all been successfully treated with his help, with their poison removed. Seven or eight of the wounded are still staying at his residence, and the rest have already said their goodbyes and left.

Qin Niu’s cultivation was delayed for a full four days.

In those four days, he saved a total of thirty-four people, all were frontline soldiers who had been injured and poisoned by fire toxin.

None of them were below the Innate Realm.

Those in the Acquired Realm or Mortal Realm, if poisoned by the fire toxin, would likely be burned alive on the spot.

Because they are simply too weak and have no ability to resist in front of the fire toxin.

At least, one needs to reach the Innate Realm in order to have some defensive ability against attacks such as venom or fire toxin.

Having absorbed a great deal of fire toxin, Qin Niu’s Medicine King Sutra cultivation improved continuously, and he has now reached the peak of the Later Stage of the Innate Realm. He wanted to use the Ancient Banyan Tree Maze and try to break into the Spirit Qi Realm.

After all, as long as one’s cultivation has reached the peak of the Innate Realm, they can attempt to break into the Spirit Qi Realm.

However, charging in without any preparation would mean a very low success rate.

Out of about a hundred at the pinnacle of the Innate Realm, it would be good if only one or two could successfully advance to the Spirit Qi Realm.

If one could prepare some elixirs like the Boundary-breaking Elixir, Spirit Realm Elixir, or cultivate in special environments with denser spiritual energy like secret realms, or in special places like fire lava caves or ice caverns, the success rate can be significantly improved.

Qin Niu planned to cultivate for a few days first within the Ancient Banyan Tree Maze to solidify his cultivation level even more.

Then, in a few days, he would head into the city to see if he could buy one or two elixirs that assist in breaking through realms.

After all, he still had quite a bit of Silver Money in his hand.

The shops in the city also generate a steady income from their monthly rents, and the more than seven thousand acres of good farmland in his name is equally a huge fortune.

His only hope is that the Black Tiger Gang can end the war as soon as possible.

Otherwise, as long as the war continues, the business environment in Black Tiger City will not improve.

Merchants feared war and dared not do business in Black Tiger City.

Farmers also had no interest in renting the landlord’s fields. In the event of war, most of the crops would likely be lost. Then, not only would they have worked in vain for a year, but they would also have to compensate the landlord for the lost rent.

In addition, the land tax was not low.

War greatly impacted everyone, and nobody wished for it to happen.

With the blink of an eye, six days had passed, and Qin Niu visited the Ancient Banyan Tree every day to cultivate. He was now focusing on the Medicine King Sutra, hoping to break through to the Spirit Qi Realm as soon as possible.

However, when he felt tired from practicing the Medicine King Sutra, he would also cultivate the Everlasting Spring Technique to recover his spiritual power, unwilling to waste a single moment.

On the other hand, his wives and Xiao Qing did not have this ability.

After cultivating for about three to six hours, they had to stop and rest for a while. As a result, they spent nearly half as much time cultivating as Qin Niu did.

If one does not pursue combat power, the Everlasting Spring Technique is quite good.

This Life-Nurturing Technique can replace sleep, quickly helping cultivators recover their physical strength and spiritual power. In addition, the power of the Everlasting Spring Technique can also help plants to quickly take root and grow.

These are all very practical benefits.

As Qin Niu diligently cultivated every day, the power of his Medicine King Sutra had reached the pinnacle of the Innate Realm and he felt it difficult to make further progress.

Early this morning he began to cultivate and realized that the power of the Medicine King Sutra had only increased by a little.

It seemed that he had to break through to the next realm to continue progressing.

Otherwise, the power of his Medicine King Sutra would stagnate.

He looked up at the canopy of the Ancient Banyan Tree, guessing that it was still early.

“I don’t have any elixirs for advancing to the Spirit Qi Realm at hand, but the spiritual power within the Ancient Banyan Tree Maze is more than twenty times denser than outside. Moreover, there is an inexhaustible supply of medicinal energy. Perhaps I could take a chance and try,”

Qin Niu calculated quietly in his mind.

Glancing at his wives and Xiao Qing who were concentrating on their cultivation, Qin Niu subconsciously moved a bit further away from them.

Because when attempting to make a major breakthrough, the wild energy that becomes uncontrollable can easily harm those around.

Once ready, Qin Niu no longer hesitated and operated the Medicine King Sutra with all his might, attempting to break through.

At first, it was not smooth sailing.

Since he had no master to guide him, he could only explore on his own. After trying various methods and still seeing no progress in his cultivation level, he felt stuck.

At this crucial moment, Qin Niu suddenly felt an extremely strong, cool energy descending from above, enveloping him completely.

Fortuitously, he immediately summoned the alchemy stove within his body.

As the alchemy stove spun continuously, the potent cool energy was greedily absorbed by it.

Inside, the Fire Lotus and Ice Lotus also reacted, drawing energy through the alchemy stove before releasing it either as fiery essence or cold air.

The fiery essence and cold air were repeatedly refined within the alchemy stove, becoming purer and purer.

The alchemy stove, formed by condensed cultivation power, was becoming more solid bit by bit, and its spinning speed was increasing.

Qin Niu faintly sensed that this must be the correct way to break through the realm.

The cool energy descending from above was unceasing – it had to be the doing of the Ancient Banyan Tree.

It was actually actively helping Qin Niu to break through the realm, which was quite incredible.
