Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Breakthrough, Qi Refining Fifth Layer; Talent, Reproduction!

Yu Yun tossed the entirely jade-green Porcelain Bottle to him, then transformed into a white blur and departed from the area.

In the backyard, the aroma of the braising broth still lingered in the air. Chen Mo stood where he was, looking at Song Yunxi, who had yet to recover from his shock.

After a moment, Song Yunxi finally spoke.

"Qi Cultivation Pill, just as the name suggests, is for cultivating Qi. A single Pill contains a massive amount of Spiritual Qi. When consumed by a Cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm, it can equate to one or two years of arduous Cultivation!" He sighed as he spoke, "Typically, only outstanding disciples are qualified to consume this kind of Elixir. Sigh... If my uncle had been willing to give me one more back then, I wouldn’t have had to go into seclusion for two whole years!"

Song Yunxi’s explanation cleared up Chen Mo’s confusion.

Chen Mo flipped his wrist and stored the Porcelain Bottle into the Storage Ring worn on his thumb.

Then, he took out the three Flying Swords that Yu Yun had gifted him.

As their cold gleam pierced the light of day, Song Yunxi blurted out, "Holy shit!"

"Elder Yu gave you these too?"

Chen Mo nodded.

"Good heavens, Foundation Establishment is Foundation Establishment after all. They’re seriously loaded!" Without another word, Song Yunxi took out forty-five Low Grade Spirit Stones—the payment for the Breeding a few days ago—and handed them over. "Since you have Flying Swords now, I don’t need to worry about sourcing them for you anymore."

"Thank you, Brother Song!"

Spirit Stones were something no one would ever complain about having too many of.

Not to mention, Chen Mo currently had a massive mountain pressing down on his shoulders!

The Huai Mountain Qi Cultivation Technique’s Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivation Technique!

"Let’s not dwell on all that," Song Yunxi waved his hand. "Give me a few pounds of Giant Bone Spirit Rice to take back!"

He didn’t plan to ask why the Spirit Rice Chen Mo grew was far superior in both taste and quality.

Chen Mo fetched a bag containing exactly twenty pounds.

Taking it, Song Yunxi advised, "Hurry up and focus on your Cultivation! With the Qi Cultivation Pill, try your best to break through to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer as soon as possible!"

"Understood, Brother Song!"

After Song Yunxi left, Chen Mo went to the chicken coop. Kang, who had been sneaking and hiding for several days, finally poked its head out and looked around.

Chen Mo handed it the four Pentagonal Heavy Lizard eggs, repeatedly warning it not to eat them and that they had to be hatched. Only then did he return to the house.

He went into the study, took out the jade-green Porcelain Bottle, and unplugged the stopper. Instantly, a rich, alluring aroma filled the entire room.

It felt like a primal desire, urging Chen Mo to swallow it in a single gulp.

However, he held himself back!

Now was not the Time!

Eighteen experience points. He was only eighteen experience points away from breaking through to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

Based on his previous progress, it would only take about a month.

Chen Mo could completely wait until he broke through to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer and stabilized his Realm before considering consuming the Qi Cultivation Pill!

By doing so, he might be able to take another massive step toward the Qi Refining Sixth Layer!

His mind made up, he hesitated no longer.

He prepared the food his Spiritual Beasts would need in advance and went into seclusion. He wasn’t going anywhere until he broke through to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer!

One day, two days...

The winter snow began to melt, and a hint of warmth gradually returned to the outside world.

The Spirit Chickens in the coop and the Spirit Pigs in the pen had eaten until they were round and plump over these past few days, growing significantly larger.

Having survived the winter, the White Snake Marketplace began to bustle with activity once again.

Song Yunxi ran around to several Marketplaces, liquidating the surplus seeds at a low price of four silver taels per pound, yet still making a massive profit!

At the Fragrance Pavilion, Hong Yan exhausted every trick in her arsenal to train the diverse and uniquely beautiful Female Cultivators, solely to figure out how to best please their patrons.

Time wasn’t particularly valuable to a Cultivator, especially when they were in secluded Cultivation day after day!

On this day, the long, resonant cries of Spirit Birds in the mountains brought a touch of green to the wilderness that had lain barren all winter.

Between heaven and earth, invisible Spiritual Qi gathered from all directions, ultimately converging in Chen Mo’s room.

Spiritual Qi harmonized within his body, and his Dantian expanded like a butterfly breaking free from its cocoon!

A rush of euphoria surged from his abdomen straight to the crown of his head, eventually washing over his entire body!

Chen Mo suddenly opened his eyes. Feeling as though he were immersed in a Spiritual Qi Sea, his body desperately absorbed everything around him.

Only when the energy slowly returned to a state of calm did he let out a long breath.

He had broken through!

His Realm, which had been stagnant for two long years, had finally advanced once again!

With the dual resources of Spiritual Food and arduous Cultivation, he had nearly reached the caliber of the Cyan Yang Sect’s outstanding disciples.

Reaching the Fifth Grade in six years—even on Purple Cloud Peak, such a feat would make him one of a kind!

The ostentatious aura within Chen Mo’s body gradually retracted, eventually "returning" to the perception level of the Qi Refining Fourth Layer.

The Cicada Concealment Technique, which he had originally only planned to use for sneak attacks, ended up coming in handy right now.

Achieving the Fifth Grade in six years—if others knew of this speed, it would definitely arouse suspicion. Therefore, Chen Mo planned to suppress this information for the Time being. He would wait another two years before telling Song Yunxi about his breakthrough, indirectly making it public!

He opened his interface and stared at the pop-up-like selection text, falling deep into thought.

[Please select a class Talent:]

[Spirit Plant Cultivator][Spirit Nurturer]

"Increased Production, Breeding, Rapid Maturation, Gathering Spirit. Four Spirit Plant Cultivator Talents... It seems they are enough for the Time being," Chen Mo muttered to himself.

Judging by the current situation, his planting endeavors seemed to have hit a bottleneck.

Given the resources available at the White Snake Marketplace, there were only those few types of seeds! He already had several thousand pounds of almost every type of Spirit Plants sitting in his Storage Ring.

Unless he solved the issue of acquiring new seeds, continuing to expand his Spirit Plant Cultivator Talents wouldn’t yield much visible profit in the short term.

After analyzing and pondering for a moment, Chen Mo focused his Intention.

He ultimately chose Spirit Nurturer!

The next moment, text gradually materialized behind the Spirit Plant Cultivator’s [Talent] option!

[Reproduction (Green): The Dao of life is endless and unceasing. The mother of mysterious femininity is the gateway to all wonders. All living beings sing for the sake of living and dance to the tune of desire; thus, life is born. Using this Talent to play the Path of Melody can stimulate living beings to accelerate Reproduction, increasing the breeding probability by 50% (This Talent requires Cultivation of Melody Class Magic to the Proficient Realm before it can be integrated).]

Reproduction?

Laying eggs?! Giving birth to cubs?!

Chen Mo stared at the lines of text on the interface, his thoughts immediately wandering.

A starting boost of 50%, just like the Breeding Talent!

If he calculated it based on the efficiency scaling of Breeding, Blue would probably be 100%, Purple 200%, and Orange 350%.

That was equivalent to a fourfold increase!

In other words, a Spirit Chicken that originally laid one egg every four days would be able to lay an egg every single day once his Melody Class Magic reached Great Success!

This speed...

Wouldn’t this exhaust Kang to death?

Chen Mo smiled in amusement!

The Talent was locked in, and it was highly satisfying.

"But going by this pattern, every time I awaken a Talent, I have to learn a new type of Magic... Fur combing, massages, playing the Zither, and singing. It looks like I won’t have to worry about starving in the future!" Chen Mo mocked himself playfully.

He stood up, dusted himself off, and stretched his limbs.

Then, he went to check on the Spiritual Birds and Beasts he was raising. After combing their fur and feathers one by one, he finally set off for the Marketplace!

He planned to buy a Zither sheet music manual so he could come back and play songs for the pigs, cows, and sheep!
