Li Qinghai quietly cultivated.

After a stick of incense.

He finally completely refined the Spirit Transforming Herb in his hand.

Li Qinghai opened his eyes and glanced at it.

The Spirit Transforming Herb had withered beyond recognition, not only losing all its spiritual energy but also devoid of any vitality.

This puzzled Li Qinghai.

The books he had read before described the process and results of refining spirit herbs.

Many spirit herbs have both vitality and spiritual energy coexisting.

In other words, if the spiritual energy is not lost, the herb can maintain its vitality under the influence of the spiritual energy.

When cultivators refine spirit herbs, they only absorb the spiritual energy of the herb.

So, although the herb loses its spiritual energy and withers, it should theoretically still retain some vitality.

Then the vitality would slowly fade away, eventually leading to complete death.

But this herb was different; it was completely drained of everything.

"Hmm? Could it be that I can also refine and absorb the vitality?" Li Qinghai muttered, somewhat doubtful.

According to the Longevity Scroll, refining spirit herbs could indeed turn the herb's vitality into one's own.

But Li Qinghai had only practiced one chapter of the Longevity Scroll and did not yet understand its mysteries.

"Forget it, let's continue refining."

Li Qinghai stopped thinking about it, discarded the withered Spirit Transforming Herb, picked up another one, and continued refining.

Another stick of incense later, another spirit herb was refined.

Now, Li Qinghai's persona was to love cultivating immortality!

So he did not stop cultivating.

Instead, he swallowed a Qi Gathering Elixir and began cultivating with the aid of the elixir.

The effect of the Qi Gathering Elixir was significantly stronger than that of the Spirit Transforming Herb.

As the Qi Gathering Elixir gradually dissolved in his dantian, the abundant spiritual energy filled the entire dantian.

What Li Qinghai needed to do was continuously operate the Longevity Scroll.

The spiritual energy would circulate throughout his body with the operation of the technique.

Some of the spiritual energy would wash over his physical body, being absorbed and strengthening it.

The remaining spiritual energy would return to the dantian, becoming more refined and condensed.

Although the quantity of spiritual energy decreased, its intensity increased significantly.

After several great cycles, the Qi Gathering Elixir was finally completely consumed.

Now he had two Qi Condensing Elixirs and two Qi Gathering Elixirs left.

Without much thought, Li Qinghai swallowed all four at once.

If it were other cultivators, they might not explode and die, but they would at least be unable to handle it, leading to spiritual energy leakage and wasting the elixirs.

But Li Qinghai had just tested the effect of one Qi Gathering Elixir.

His technique operated smoothly, so adding another Qi Gathering Elixir was not a big problem.

As for the Qi Condensing Elixirs, they contained pitifully little spiritual energy for Li Qinghai now, so he took them all at once for convenience.

Immediately, the abundant spiritual energy surged in his dantian like turbulent waves, uncontrollable.

Li Qinghai was not flustered; the secret technique of the Five Element Longevity Scroll immediately activated.

The violent spiritual energy instantly became obedient.

It followed the route of the secret technique, coursing through his entire body.

One great cycle after another, repeating continuously.

The spiritual energy was compressed over and over, becoming increasingly refined.

Several hours later.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a powerful wave spread from Li Qinghai's body, causing his clothes to flutter without wind.

Li Qinghai's entire aura also increased significantly.

Li Qinghai had stepped into the fifth level of Qi Refining!

Although it was only the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Judging from the breakthrough wave just now, it could even rival some cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining!

Before long.

Li Qinghai slowly opened his eyes.

"Finally reached the fifth level of Qi Refining!"

Li Qinghai was not surprised at reaching this level; he even felt it was quite slow.

According to the books, most cultivators could reach the fifth level of Qi Refining from the fourth with just two Spirit Transforming Herbs.

A few prodigies with vast dantian seas and pure spiritual energy might need an extra Qi Gathering Elixir to succeed.

But he had just used two Spirit Transforming Herbs and three Qi Gathering Elixirs to barely succeed.

It could be said that his dantian's capacity was far more outrageous than those so-called prodigies.

He didn't realize this when he wasn't cultivating, but now that he was, it truly shocked Li Qinghai.

He didn't expect himself to be this strong!

Faced with this situation, Li Qinghai was both happy and worried.

The joy was that with his combat power, he could hold his own against seventh-level Qi Refining cultivators and not fall.

After all, he had been stripped of his qualification to cultivate immortality and couldn't die yet; he had to protect his life.

The worry was that once he regained his qualification to cultivate immortality, it might not be so easy to die.

But there was no choice; he had squandered his next life's qualification to cultivate immortality, so now he could only cultivate diligently.

"I am someone who loves cultivating immortality, who understands it!"

Li Qinghai silently reminded himself, closed his eyes, and continued cultivating.

At the same time, Li Qinghai hoped the Book of Good Fortune could hear his inner voice and quickly return his qualification to cultivate immortality.

Thus, Li Qinghai cultivated tirelessly for an entire day.

Today's gains were that he fully absorbed the medicinal power of the Qi Gathering Elixirs, and his fifth level of Qi Refining was completely stabilized!

Until late at night, Li Qinghai was still staying up late to cultivate immortality!

He wanted to show the Book of Good Fortune with his actions!

He, Li Qinghai, loved cultivating immortality!!

Early the next morning.

Li Qinghai got up early.

He was Li Qinghai, who loved cultivating immortality, so today, he was going to Morning Cultivation Mountain to cultivate!

After tidying up, Li Qinghai left the house.

The moment Li Qinghai stepped out the door.

A ripple flashed across the door.

Golden Elixir Granny in Falling Snow Residence was suddenly startled, waking up from her slumber!

Golden Elixir Granny almost burst into tears; she had waited for over a month, and finally, Li Qinghai left the house!

This damned Li Qinghai, how could he be such a homebody!

He really made her wait so bitterly!

Now, she could finally test Li Qinghai!

Golden Elixir Granny couldn't wait to send a message to Lu Beixue.

"Beixue, Li Qinghai has left the house; he should be heading to Morning Cultivation Mountain, follow him quickly!"

Lu Beixue's eyes lit up, "Alright!"

To be honest, she hadn't seen Li Qinghai for a long time and missed him quite a bit.

Of course, it's worth mentioning.

Li Qinghai left the house, but Liu Yaoyao didn't know this time.

Because she was in seclusion and couldn't be disturbed.

So before going into seclusion, she cut off all communication, including the warning talisman buried in front of Li Qinghai's door, she also cut off the sensing.

Just like when Ye Fan was in seclusion, Ye Feng couldn't contact Ye Fan and could only wait for Ye Fan to come out of seclusion himself.

A moment later.

Li Qinghai arrived at the long-missed Morning Cultivation Mountain.

However, Li Qinghai didn't dare to approach and first observed from a distance to see if Ye Feng was there.

Before, when he sought out Ye Feng, it was to court death.

Now, when he sought out Ye Feng, it was to protect his life.

This strong contrast even made Li Qinghai a bit unaccustomed.

After searching for a while and not seeing Ye Feng's figure, Li Qinghai silently breathed a sigh of relief.

And Wang Dafu's target was quite large, so Li Qinghai happened to spot Wang Dafu heading towards Morning Cultivation Mountain.

So Li Qinghai strode over to Wang Dafu.

Approaching Wang Dafu, Li Qinghai called out, "Senior Brother Wang!"

Wang Dafu turned around and was instantly surprised.

"Li... Junior Brother, you've... actually reached the fifth level of Qi Refining?!"
