I Have a Compass for Opportunity

With the maintenance of the Star Shining Celestial Array, Qi Cultivation Realm demon cultivators cannot enter Qingbao County, while Foundation Establishment demon cultivators are held back in Youhuang State, thus maintaining a long period of peace.

Nevertheless, as the leader Yan Yingsi said, the disciples of the Wind Chasing Division still have no intention of leaving Qingbao County.

According to Yan Yingsi, the disturbances by Jiuli State’s demon cultivators persist as the battle situation in Youhuang State remains uncertain.

As long as the demon cultivators in Youhuang State have not retreated, they must continue to guard Qingbao County according to the sect’s instruction.

Liuo Yuan appeared indifferent.

"Going back to Five Extremes Mountain is also cultivation; cultivating in Qingbao County is the same. I am not choosy about the place for refining Geng Metal Spiritual Qi now."

Finally, on the twelfth day after returning from the demon lair, Liou Yuan completed the refining of the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi contained within the Treasure Bottle Seal inside him.

The Treasure Bottle Seal, having fulfilled its mission, transformed into pure Spiritual Qi and dissipated within his body.

At this moment, Liou Yuan opened his eyes from the bed.

The golden hue in his purple Evil Eyes became even more intense, greatly benefiting from the complete refinement of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi.

Accompanying this was a change in Liou Yuan’s body and Spiritual Power within him.

A layer of golden sheen coated his skin, giving a metallic texture, while his bone structure transformed entirely into the color of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, gleaming gold.

Upon standing up from the bed, Liou Yuan seemed like a divine weapon unsheathed, exuding an oppressive sharpness.

"Now, my body can withstand top-quality magical artifacts."

Feeling the changes in his body, Liou Yuan’s lips curled into a smile.

Of course, he was only referring to ordinary top-quality magical artifacts, but Xu Hetong’s black blade still unsettled him.

Nonetheless, it provided significant assurance for Liou Yuan in actual combat.

After fully refining Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, Liou Yuan could control the aura flowing through his body effortlessly.

With just a thought, the glowing aura on his body would restrain, making him appear no longer sharp.

Also noteworthy was the transformation of Liou Yuan’s Spiritual Power.

After fully refining Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, the Spiritual Qi transitioned from a pale gold to a true gold color, imbued with the domineering nature of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi.

The current Spiritual Power surpassed the strength and quantity Liou Yuan had before his encounter with Xu Hetong.

"Using Evil Eyes again, I should be able to maintain it for a stick of incense’s time."

Liou Yuan’s lips curled up, as the complete refinement of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi once again enhanced his strength significantly.

But soon, Liou Yuan had to confront a bigger hurdle.

"With Geng Metal Spiritual Qi fully refined and Spiritual Power transformed, I’ve reached the threshold for breaking through to Foundation Establishment."

The Geng Metal Refining Form Skill outlines three stages to break through Foundation Establishment.

First Stage: Establishing the Mansion.

Combine Spiritual Power infused with Geng Metal Spiritual Qi and blood to open space in the body, creating an embryonic form of the Qi Mansion.

Second Stage: Sinking the Star Acupoint.

Sink the Star Acupoint into the Qi Mansion, integrating with the Spiritual Power and blood inside the space.

Third Step: Congealing the Qi Mansion.

Liou Yuan’s Spiritual Power intensity and blood have reached the threshold described in the cultivation technique for establishing the Mansion.

He only needs to focus and cultivate for a while to create the embryonic form of the Qi Mansion.

Following that is sinking the Star Acupoint and integrating it within the Qi Mansion space.

Completing these two steps would classify him as Half-Step Foundation Establishment.

This is why Xu Hetong is so strong; he has already established the Mansion and sunk his Star Acupoint within the Qi Mansion space.

"Considering the significance of establishing the Mansion, it’s better to attempt the breakthrough back at the cave dwelling in Five Extremes Mountain."

Liou Yuan contemplated silently; he certainly wouldn’t attempt the breakthrough in Qingbao County.

The Spiritual Qi in Qingbao County is inferior to Five Extremes Mountain.

His cave dwelling in Five Extremes Mountain has the support of a Spirit Gathering Array, abundant Spiritual Qi, and the assistance of the Profound Yin Cold Marrow Stone, providing optimal conditions.

More importantly is a concern that always haunts Liou Yuan.

During his recovery and refining of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, the Fixed Star Compass inside him never found peace, its needle sporadically swiveling or shaking erratically.

Each time left Liou Yuan frightened.

He suspected more than once that something might be wrong with the Fixed Star Compass.

Regardless of whether the compass is malfunctioning, its constant warnings have left Liou Yuan too cautious to attempt a breakthrough in Qingbao County.

"I wonder how much longer this task in Qingbao County will last."

"Has the battle in Youhuang State not concluded yet? Isn’t the battle between the Foundation Establishments of the two domains resolved?"

Liou Yuan murmured, surveying the room where he has been secluded for half a month.

The elixir provided by the Qingxiao Sect was effective, and now his injuries are almost healed.

With the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi fully refined, continued seclusion carries little significance.

So, after washing, clothing himself, he stepped out the door.

"I’ll go for a stroll and inquire about the situation in Youhuang State; my older brother is still there."

The small courtyard stationed by the disciples of the Wind Chasing Division always had a dedicated disciple maintaining the Cold River Illusionary Water Array.

Most of the time, it was Jia Panshan stationed, with occasional assistance by Yi Qingyue.

Today, the array operation was managed by Jia Panshan.

Upon exiting, Liou Yuan saw Jia Panshan sitting in meditation on the array formation.

He approached to greet, first inquiring about the injuries of the disciples from Yan Yingsi who returned from the demon lair.

The answer was they are still recovering.

The expedition to the demon lair was precarious; the Wind Chasing Division, including Tian Qiweng, lost five members there.
