Chapter 159 Eighth Level of Qi Training
"Senior Ye, this may not be a strange phenomenon in the sky or earth. I remember that after it rains, the sun shines through the clouds and forms a rainbow. Maybe it is the same now. After all, this hot air looks no different from clouds."

Someone immediately raised questions.

Everyone looked at the person asking the question and found it was He Hai.

"You silly boy, don't you realize that the colors of the two rainbows are not the same?"

He Shan quickly stood up and scolded him.

And pointed out the difference in color between this rainbow and the rainbow after rain.

Only then did He Shan carefully observe the rainbow that appeared in the private room.

It is indeed completely different from the color of a rainbow after rain.

At least in the rainbows after the rain that he had seen, there were never two colors: black and white.

"This rainbow is made up entirely of the five elements of spiritual energy. I can also sense the aura of pure yang power and pure yin power. With the blessing of these two powers, this top-grade spiritual food can help cultivators in the late stage of Qi training improve their cultivation by at least one level."

After this little episode, Ye Qingyang went on to introduce the magical features of the Seven-Colored Eight Treasure Chicken.

"The five elements of spiritual energy and the power of pure yin and pure yang?"

Hearing these two terms, Fang Chen instantly thought of something and immediately checked the ingredients on the plate.

In addition to the chicken in the center, the Yin-Yang Spirit Flower was indeed seen.

I think the pure yin power and pure yang power are provided by it.

"Seven-Colored Eight Treasures Chicken. I've already seen the seven colors. This Yin-Yang Spirit Flower is also considered a treasure. So what are the remaining seven treasures?"

With this question in mind, Fang Chen began to search the plate, wanting to see what ingredients they used.

Although these ingredients were exchanged for his contributions, he only gave the contributions to Xu Qiyun and let him and the spiritual chefs supervise the exchange.

So in fact, he didn't know what the specific ingredients were.

Fang Chen quickly discovered the source of the five elements spiritual energy, which was the five elements spiritual herbs.

Fire spirit grass, water spirit grass, wood spirit grass, earth spirit grass, gold spirit grass.

It has been used to feed the five elements silkworms.

I didn’t expect that these spiritual chefs would actually use it as an ingredient for spiritual food.

It is indeed a remarkable innovation.

The cafeteria receives a fixed amount of contribution every week, which is exchanged for various ingredients to facilitate their research on spiritual food.

I didn't expect that they would create something so amazing.

Even with the five elements of spiritual herbs, there are only six kinds of spiritual plants in total, and there are two treasures for some unknown reason.

"I'm so stupid. Isn't this chicken the spiritual chicken in the territory? Since it is a spiritual chicken, it must be considered a treasure."

Fang Chen slapped his forehead suddenly. It had been more than four months since the spiritual birds were discovered in Yuehua Fairy City. Using the king of roosters as breeding chickens, he had bred quite a few spiritual chickens. He could still afford more than a dozen spiritual chickens.

Although he found the Seventh Treasure, his action obviously shocked the others present. Lin Qingshan was the closest to him and asked directly: "City Lord, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I was just excited..."

Fang Chen smiled and explained to everyone what the eight treasures in the Seven-Colored Eight Treasure Chicken were, and told them about the seven treasures he had discovered.

"Indeed, even if we include the spiritual chicken in the middle, there are only seven ingredients. Where is the other ingredient?"

After hearing what Fang Chen said, everyone looked at the plate in front of them and found that it was exactly as he said.

I couldn't help but become curious.

"The answer to this question is both far away and right before our eyes."

Ye Qingyang seemed to know the answer to the question. He smiled and acted mysteriously, but did not say clearly what it was.

"Far away in the horizon, right in front of you?"

Fang Chen was thinking, and suddenly noticed the rainbow that everyone was discussing at the beginning, and immediately thought of the answer: "So that's it, the eighth treasure is water."

"As expected of the city lord, you are absolutely right. This eighth treasure is water containing spiritual energy."

Ye Qingyang also added to Fang Chen’s words.

"We have now thoroughly researched the Seven-Colored Eight Treasure Chicken, but Lao Liu and his team did not prepare this delicacy for us to study, but to eat. Everyone, don't just stand there and enjoy the spiritual food."

Having satisfied his curiosity, Fang Chen did not keep everyone waiting and announced that the meal was ready.

Pick up the chopsticks, pick up a piece of chicken and put it in your mouth.

In an instant, an extremely delicious feeling exploded in Fang Chen's taste buds.

The seasoning of the chicken is very simple, and you can't even taste the salt, but the chicken itself is extremely delicious, as if a lot of MSG was added.

However, Yuehua Fairy City currently does not have the conditions to extract MSG, so this umami flavor can only come from the ingredients themselves.

After chewing the food and swallowing it into his stomach, Fang Chen still felt unsatisfied, so he quickly picked up another piece to keep enjoying his taste buds.

The situation of others was not much better than his.

Even Ye Qingyang and Zheng Pingkang, who had the bodies of ghost cultivators, were immersed in the deliciousness of this spiritual food.

For a moment, the private room became extremely quiet, as if even the sound of the falling object could be heard.

Everyone was enjoying the food quietly.

Fang Chen didn't know how long he had been eating. It seemed like a blink of an eye, but also like a whole year.

Anyway, when I came to my senses, there was nothing left on the plate in front of me.

"Is this the best spiritual food? I only heard about it before and never tasted it myself. Now I have no regrets. It's worth it even if it means death."

Ye Qingyang had already eaten the whole Seven-Colored Eight-Treasure Chicken until not even a bone was left, and he shook his head with emotion.

The reactions of the other people were similar.

"After returning, we must speed up the breeding of spiritual chickens to ensure that every resident of the Immortal City can taste this supreme delicacy."

Seeing that Xu Qiyun had also come to his senses, Fang Chen gave him some instructions.

"Hmm - wait, I feel a spiritual energy coming out of my body!"

Xu Qiyun nodded and was about to say something else when the spiritual energy of the Seven-Colored Eight Treasure Chicken burst out.

After he said this, spiritual energy began to surge in Fang Chen's body.

"Hurry up and cross your legs to practice. Top-quality spiritual food is hard to come by, so don't waste its effects."

Ye Qingyang was the first to realize what had happened and quickly spoke up to remind everyone.

Without his instructions, Fang Chen and Lin Qingshan had already started practicing.

After his reminder, the others also reacted and followed Fang Chen and Lin Qingshan's example by sitting cross-legged in their seats, guiding the spiritual energy released by the Seven-Colored Eight Treasure Chicken.

"Fellow Daoist Zheng, let the two of us protect them."

Ye Qingyang and Zheng Pingkang looked at each other and confirmed their work.

There is no way. The two of them are ghost cultivators. Although they can experience the taste of normal humans after using the possession technique.

However, the Seven-Colored Eight-Treasure Chicken, a spiritual food that releases spiritual energy, did not help them improve their cultivation.

This is not to say that the two did not gain anything.

The seed of the Blood Yin Spirit Root in Zheng Pingkang's body needed spiritual energy to grow. After absorbing the spiritual energy of the Seven-Colored Eight Treasure Chicken, a crack appeared in it, revealing a red seedling.

As for Ye Qingyang, all these spiritual energies were transformed into Yin spiritual power by his wind spiritual root, which was considered a good gain.

Fang Chen didn’t know all these things at the moment. He was guiding the spiritual energy of the Seven-Colored Eight Treasure Chicken to transform into magic power.

This process was not difficult. The spiritual energy of the Seven-Colored Eight Treasure Chicken was extremely pure and easier to refine than the spiritual energy in the Yellow Bud Pill. It could be transformed into mana almost immediately with just a little guidance.

Therefore, Fang Chen did not need to concentrate on converting his magic power. He only needed to control his own magic power to penetrate his meridians.

To break through from the seventh level of Qi training to the eighth level, one needs to open up the Foot-Taiyang Meridian.

There are a total of sixty-seven pairs of acupoints on this meridian, which is far more than comparable to the previous meridians.

And the most crucial thing is not the number of acupoints, but the fact that each acupoint on the Foot-Taiyang Meridian is more than twice as difficult to open than the previous meridians.

However, the magic power provided by the Seven-Colored Eight-Treasure Chicken is too strong, and the continuous flow of magic power impacts the first pair of acupoints, the Jingming acupoints.

After a while, the Jingming acupoint was opened.

The next Zanzhu acupoint also failed to resist for long and was successfully penetrated.

Meichong acupoint, Qucha acupoint, Wuchu acupoint...

The effect of Seven-Colored Eight-Treasure Chicken is so powerful that the acupuncture points on the Foot-Taiyang Meridian are opened in pairs, but the spiritual energy released by it has not weakened at all.

In this way, Fang Chen's magic power, with the help of the Seven-Colored Eight-Treasure Chicken, overcame all obstacles and soon broke through the 63rd pair of acupoints on the Foot-Taiyang Meridian, the Jinmen acupoints.

The momentum remains unabated.

Attack the 64th pair of acupoints, the Jinggu acupoint.

The defense of the Jinggu acupoint was extremely strong. It blocked Fang Chen's magic power for a while, but it was eventually broken through.

There was no moment of mourning for the Jinggu acupoint. The next thing that stood in the way of Fang Chen's magic power was the 65th pair of acupoints of the Foot-Taiyang Meridian, the Shugu acupoints.

The Shugu point is stronger than the Jinggu point and can block Fang Chen's magic power for a longer time.

Unfortunately, he was defeated in the end.

What Fang Chen is about to face is the 66th pair of acupoints of the Foot-Taiyang Meridian, the Zutonggu acupoints.

And at this moment, the spiritual energy provided by the Seven-Colored Eight Treasure Chicken suddenly began to weaken.

As one gained strength, the other lost strength. The Zutonggu acupoint almost exhausted all the spiritual energy of the Seven-Colored Eight Treasure Chicken, and it finally fell under the power of Fang Chen.

But Fang Chen has to face the most difficult acupuncture point to open among the foot sun temples, the Zhiyin point.

“Is this the end?”

Although he failed to break through to the eighth level of Qi training in one go, the Seven-Colored Eight Treasures Chicken had saved Fang Chen several months of training time, so he was not too disappointed.

Just when he thought the effect of the Seven-Colored Eight-Treasure Chicken had worn off and wanted to stop practicing, two more forces burst out from his body.

One black and one white, intertwined together.

"Is this the power of pure yin and pure yang?"

Fang Chen quickly recognized this power, which was the pure yang and pure yin power in the Yin-Yang Spirit Flower.

Pure yang power can refine spiritual energy, and pure yin power can temper the soul. Both are helpful for building the foundation, so Yin-Yang spiritual flowers are also planted in large quantities in Yuehua Fairy City.

However, at this time, these two forces did not go to temper Fang Chen's magic power or soul, but split into two groups and rushed into two foot sun meridians.

Since the previous acupoints had been penetrated by Fang Chen's magic power, the two forces also traveled unimpeded to the last pair of Zhiyin acupoints and collided with them.

Then, the obstruction on the Zhiyin acupoint was miraculously eliminated.

The last pair of acupoints on the Foot-Taiyang Meridian, the Zhiyin points, were successfully connected.

This also means that Fang Chen successfully broke through to the eighth level of Qi training.

"It turns out that pure yang power and pure yin power can also eliminate bottlenecks."

Fang Chen, who had been using his spiritual sense to perceive this scene, also learned of another effect of the power of pure yin and pure yang.

This made him even happier than his breakthrough to the eighth level of Qi training.

"The Yin-Yang Five Elements Art can directly condense the power of pure Yin and pure Yang. Doesn't that mean that there will be no bottleneck in practicing the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art?"

Based on this conclusion, Fang Chen also deduced the new magical aspects of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Technique.

However, simply practicing the Yin-Yang Five Elements Technique and condensing the power of pure Yin and pure Yang is extremely slow. If you want to use this to break through the bottleneck, it will probably take several months of hard practice.

However, compared with the stagnation of cultivation caused by the bottleneck, several months of hard training is nothing.

"It seems that the Yin-Yang Five Elements Technique has great potential for development. Even if other techniques are obtained in the future, Daoxuan should refer to and compare them and make improvements to the Yin-Yang Five Elements Technique, rather than throwing the Yin-Yang Five Elements Technique aside and pursuing other seemingly more important techniques."

After realizing this, Fang Chen decided to increase his investment in the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Sutra.

No matter what, there are most people in this world who possess five elements pseudo spiritual roots, which means that the Yin-Yang Five Elements Secret is universal enough.

Only someone with unusual spiritual roots like Ye Qingyang is completely unable to practice the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Secret.

"Congratulations on your successful breakthrough. How does it feel to have reached the eighth level of Qi training?"

While Fang Chen was thinking, Ye Qingyang also spoke to congratulate him.

"Thank you very much. I don't feel anything. Building the foundation is the beginning of everything. Now I just want to hurry up and practice until I reach the great perfection of Qi training, and then build the foundation."

Yes, whether it is the seventh or eighth level of Qi training, it is just a transition for Fang Chen.

When he was in Lianyunfang City, he set himself the goal of reaching the fourth level of Qi training.

At that time, he didn't have much knowledge and thought that the fourth level of Qi training was the middle stage of Qi training. Combined with his ability to create spiritual plants, he only needed to recruit mortals, which was enough to support a small force.

Now he realized how naive and lucky he was.

If he hadn't met Lin Qingshan, he might not have been able to build Yuehua Fairy City and develop it into what it is today.

Therefore, the second cultivation goal he set for himself was to build a foundation. If any of the steps in between were achieved, he would certainly be happy, but he would not have much reaction.

"I see. You have reached the eighth level of Qi training at such a young age. It is only a matter of time before you can build your foundation."

Ye Qingyang didn't think there was anything wrong with Fang Chen's ambition. From his point of view, building the foundation is indeed the beginning of the path to immortality.

If his Niwan Palace had not been inexplicably damaged, with his talent, he would have condensed the golden elixir long ago.

How could I waste so much time in the foundation-building stage?

The two did not continue chatting so as not to disturb the others who were still practicing. Fang Chen also joined Ye Qingyang and Zheng Pingkang to protect the others.

Since everyone is practicing, their aura can be seen at a glance, and even without using spiritual sense to investigate, one can tell their level of cultivation at a glance.

Fang Chen was also able to judge how much each person's cultivation had improved.

Lin Qingshan, who was originally at the fourth level of Qi training, has now reached the fifth level, and his aura is constantly increasing. It is very likely that he will reach the sixth level in one fell swoop.

Xu Qiyun, who was at the second level of Qi training, is now at the fourth level. However, the speed at which his Qi is increasing has begun to slow down. Even if he cannot reach the fifth level in the end, it won't be much different.

Han Zhao, who was also at the second level of Qi training, was only at the third level at this time, and judging from his situation, the fourth level might be his limit.

As for the few people who were originally at the first level of Qi training, they might only reach the third level of Qi training in the end.

"Everyone seems to absorb the Seven-Colored Eight Treasure Chicken differently."

The spiritual energy of the Seven-Colored Eight-Treasure Chicken is extremely rich, but everyone's cultivation changes are different, so Fang Chen made this inference.

"Of course, everyone's physique is different. This can be considered a kind of talent. Fortunately, as a top-grade spiritual food, even if it cannot be fully absorbed, the spiritual energy of the Seven-Colored Eight Treasure Chicken will not have a negative impact on it."

Ye Qingyang confirmed Fang Chen's inference. In the world of cultivation, this was no secret.

"Teachable--ugh!"

Before Fang Chen could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in his heart and blood started to flow from the corners of his mouth.

　I came back from the company at ten o'clock, finished typing and went to bed. I will resume writing two chapters tomorrow. Please support me.
