Boarding Life-Chapter 525: Halfway to Success

With this thought in mind, Qin Qi immediately sat cross-legged on the bed.

Once again, he launched an assault on cultivating True Qi of the Tian Gang.

Following the previous cultivation method, he operated the mental method of the Tian Gang True Qi within his body, and began slowly mobilizing the Yang energy within himself, thoroughly cleansing the True Qi in his Dantian.

Indeed, the mysterious woman's judgment was correct.

Last time when he cultivated Tian Gang True Qi, using Yang energy to cleanse the True Qi within himself, only when the process was halfway through, he obviously felt somewhat powerless; the Yang energy couldn't keep up.

But this time, the result was vastly different.

A large amount of Yang energy surged in, causing the True Qi in the Dantian to be stirred up violently.

"Hmm? My True Qi has obviously changed!" Qin Qi was astonished.

The beginner level cultivation of the Tian Gang True Qi involves transforming the True Qi completely into the utmost hardness and Yang energy.

He wasn't sure what utmost hardness and Yang energy truly looked like.

But he clearly noticed that the color of his True Qi had undergone some changes.

"Golden..."

Qin Qi was overjoyed.

The change in color indicated a clear possibility of success for him.

With this thought, without saying a word, he once again utilized the Yang energy within himself to continuously cleanse.

In this way, a large amount of True Qi began to change color, roughly starting at eight in the morning, all the way to after twelve noon!

Four hours of cultivation.

The True Qi in his Dantian had already been transformed into a brilliant golden color by about half!

Qin Qi was very excited, but when he tried to continue,

suddenly, his expression changed.

"Not good!"

Biting his teeth tightly, Qin Qi wanted to squeeze a bit more Yang energy from his body, but found the supply was insufficient once again.

When the supply of Yang energy was cut off, the same rapid surge of pain in his Dantian as before returned.

Qin Qi dared not attempt further, quickly interrupting the cultivation, and slowly opened his eyes.

The mysterious woman's voice immediately arose, "How was it?"

With a twitch at the corners of his mouth, Qin Qi spoke somewhat unpleasantly, "I can't really say, I failed, but unlike last time, it wasn't a complete failure either."

The mysterious woman raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

Qin Qi described the whole sequence of events clearly, "The True Qi in my Dantian, about half of it should have already been refined into the so-called utmost hardness and Yang energy of the Tian Gang True Qi, but it's only a supposed refinement. Whether it truly achieves utmost hardness and Yang energy, I'm not sure."

"There is still a large portion that hasn't been completely refined, just like before, it's colorless True Qi!!"

At this point, Qin Qi had some thoughts.

This Tian Gang True Qi should be a cultivation technique of the metal attribute.

He couldn't clearly define his own five elemental destiny, but since the mysterious woman let him focus on cultivating Tian Gang True Qi, it probably meant his elemental destiny is mostly metal!

After listening to Qin Qi, the mysterious woman first pondered for a while, then said: "Try mobilizing the True Qi within you!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qi quickly mobilized the True Qi to his palm.

Something strange occurred.

The True Qi on his palm was half milky white and half brilliant gold!

When this True Qi was mobilized, Qin Qi couldn't help but inhale sharply.

In comparison, the golden True Qi was evidently more imposing than the milky white True Qi!

Just a bunch of True Qi seemed like a radiant sun.

The mysterious woman exclaimed, "So this is the look of Tian Gang True Qi. Although there's only a little, just by looking at it, one can sense it's extraordinary!"

After some deep thought, Qin Qi spoke gravely, "I clearly feel that this golden True Qi is more like a solid. I can barely control it to change shape, but the milky white True Qi cannot."

He recalled Xu Qiaoqiao's True Qi transforming into any shape previously.

He also planned to attempt transforming this golden True Qi into the shape he desired.

This True Qi was like dough, he tried molding several shapes, but obviously, they all ended in failure.

"No, this golden True Qi, I feel like I'm controlling it, yet not controlling it. How to describe it..." Qin Qi murmured softly.

The mysterious woman gently spoke, "True Qi transformation is not an easy feat to achieve, it requires diligent cultivation and refinement of your main technique day by day, eventually evolving into Mana, then it can be done freely. Moreover, you haven't fully accomplished it. Strictly speaking, your Mana conversion is only halfway complete, so this Tian Gang True Qi, you're not fully accomplished, nor have you completely failed, consider it half-accomplished!"

"Half-accomplished?" Qin Qi gaped, "What's that supposed to mean?"

The mysterious woman's tone gradually turned serious, "Any main technique cultivated will transform True Qi into Mana, but converting halfway is very rare. Qin Qi, you must find a way to supplement Yang energy again, and refine the remaining half!"

"What do you mean?" Qin Qi asked curiously.

The mysterious woman coldly replied, "Because if you don't resolve the subsequent Mana quickly, at best, you won't be able to cultivate Tian Gang True Qi, at worst, your Dantian will be damaged!"

Qin Qi was stunned speechless.

After a moment, he said, "Damn, Dantian damage? Don't joke!"

As the source of True Qi, damage to his Dantian means his life would be wasted!

The mysterious woman spoke with a heavy tone, "No joke, to put it simply, it's best described as going mad with fire cultivation."

"The Mana you've refined is actually semi-finished. This form of Mana itself is extremely dangerous within the Dantian. A careless mistake could easily form a backlash! The sooner, the better, ideally within ten days. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Hearing this, Qin Qi's scalp tingled.

He dared not doubt, only showing a bitter face, "I swear, this Tian Gang True Qi is so damn difficult to cultivate. But where can I go to supplement so much True Qi?"

"Even if I have Xu Qiaoqiao, at most I'd enhance my strength a tier, it's hard to ensure the Yang energy obtained will meet the requirements for upcoming cultivation!"

The mysterious woman slowly said, "Actually, there's a one-and-done method!"

"What's that method?" Qin Qi immediately asked.

The mysterious woman said, "It's simple, if you can get the Dragon Pattern Pearl from Duan Meng, this Treasure Bead is inherently of utmost hardness and Yang energy, harness its power for cultivation. Given your Yang energy foundation, you have about an eighty to ninety percent chance of success!"

Upon hearing this, a twitch formed at Qin Qi's mouth.

The mysterious woman's words sounded easy, but Duan Meng isn't the kind of woman who would hand over the Dragon Pattern Pearl openly?

"Ten days, now I meet with Duan Meng once every two days, reckoning, there are at most five chances..."

Qin Qi's expression grew heavy, "Ten days, to completely conquer Duan Meng?"
