C2922 Fourth Level of Qi Refining
The man didn't pay much attention to Jiang Ting's refusal. Instead, he brought the girl and prepared to leave.
"En." The girl glanced at the big mouse and Jiang Ting, then her gaze swept across the Illusory Rain Grass fifteen meters away. Without saying anything, she left with the man.
Jiang Ting's eyes lit up. He had thought that there would be a confrontation, but he didn't expect that the two of them would leave so easily.
He waited until they were far away.
The man spoke with disdain, "I was going to bring him along, but I really don't know how to appreciate your kindness."
The woman shook her head. "There's not much time left, let's hurry on our way."
...
On the other side.
Jiang Ting didn't pay any attention to the two men who left. Instead, he stared at the big rat. The magical energy in his body was slowly circulating... As the two of them were getting closer, the big mouse didn't attack recklessly.
His Wind Blade was already ready to strike!
"Squeak, squeak..." The big rat did not pay much attention to them. It rushed towards Jiang Ting at an extremely fast speed.
Jiang Ting, who had been prepared for this, immediately dodged the attack. At the same time, he sent out a wind blade.
With a bang, the wind blade hit the big rat. The powerful cutting force followed the bloody parts of the big rat and directly cut into its body, severing several bones on the spot.
The big rat's attack missed.
"Squeak squeak..." The big rat that landed on the ground not only roared, but also trembled slightly.
Jiang Ting, who was about to continue dodging, raised his eyebrows. "Looks like I'm going to die."
He could see that his Wind Blade had seriously injured the mouse's body once again. In addition, he had been entangled with the mouse for quite some time. Although the mouse was not dead yet, it was almost on the verge of death.
After that, Jiang Ting started to form fireballs without hesitation.
About a breath later, the fireball pounced out with a hot temperature.
"Squeak, squeak..." The mouse tried to dodge with its four limbs waving, but its speed was much slower than its peak speed, which was on the verge of death... It was unable to dodge the fireball and was firmly hit.
The explosion and the flames appeared, and the dying mouse was completely out of breath.
"Looks like I should thank those two people. If it wasn't for them suddenly appearing and distracting the Demonic Beast, it wouldn't have been so easy for my Wind Blade to hit the target." After muttering to himself, Jiang Ting approached the Illusionary Rain Grass not far away.
The Demonic Beast had been killed. Now, it was time to harvest the spoils of war.
After getting close to the rotting tree, Jiang Ting unhesitatingly uprooted the Illusory Rain Grass. He circulated the magic power in his body, and a light breeze of magic appeared.
In the breeze, the mud of the Illusory Rain Grass disappeared.
Then he put the Illusory Rain Grass in his arms and walked towards the big rat. After carefully observing for a while, he found that... This big rat's entire body, apart from the two teeth, had no other intact parts. Its fur had long been burned away by the flames, and its skin had also been damaged beyond recognition by the wind blades.
If he had a storage space, he could also throw this blurry corpse inside to see if it could be sold for money. Unfortunately, he did not. He was also not interested in bringing this rat along on his way.
The teeth might be able to be sold for some money, or forging weapons or something. However, he didn't know how to forge!
After sizing him up for a while, Jiang Ting gave up his spoils of war and jumped into the distance.
He had just fought a fierce battle here, and the blood of the big rat kept spreading. Perhaps it would attract some things. In a situation where there were no benefits, he did not want to fight, so it was better to leave.
After a short while, Jiang Ting appeared two miles away.
He then found a wide tree branch and sat down.
He then took out the Illusory Rain Grass from his bosom and pondered for a moment before starting to eat the grass without any hesitation... He did not know how to refine pills now, so it might be a waste to directly consume it. However, he could not care about that much.
Cultivation was the most important.
...
The sun was setting.
The next day, when it was close to noon.
"Hu..." Jiang Ting slowly opened his eyes after taking a deep breath.
His vision was clearer, his senses were sharper, and the range of his Divine Sense had increased a little. Compared to before, the magic power in his body had increased by almost half.
With the help of the Illusion Rain Grass, he had already broken through to Qi Refining Stage Level 4.
After sensing for a while, Jiang Ting said softly, "According to the records in the illustrated handbook, the Illusion Rain Grass is just an ordinary spiritual grass. I actually broke through to the fourth level directly..."
According to his estimation, if he wanted to break through to the fourth level, he would need to swallow three immature Illusion Rain Grass. Even if it was a mature Illusion Rain Grass, he would need two.
After all, it was impossible to absorb all of the medicinal strength by consuming the spiritual grass raw. At most, he could only absorb half of it, and the other half would evaporate.
In the end, one stalk was enough?
Was there something wrong with the records in the illustrated handbook, or was the Illusory Rain Grass that he swallowed earlier not the Illusory Rain Grass? It was an even more precious spirit herb.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ting gave up thinking. No matter what the reason was, he had already finished eating it!
After that, he got up and looked into the distance. That direction was the direction that the man and woman had left in.
Although it was only a passerby meeting, he could sense that after he had rejected the offer, the man had started to harbor ill intentions towards him. As for the woman... she still treated him as a passerby.
When it was hot, that was not important. What was important was, the place where the man said he would gather?
What market was there over there? Or is there a lot of cultivators discussing something?
Are you coming or not?
After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting took out the jade slip and started to read it with his Divine Sense. At the same time, he headed in the direction where the two of them had left. After breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, he sensed his own aura and compared it with the fluctuations he had seen yesterday.
The woman was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and the man was slightly stronger than the woman. He was probably at the fifth level of Qi Refining. If a combination of the fifth and fourth levels of Qi Refining was possible, then why couldn't he go to the fourth level of Qi Refining?
As for the jade slip, it was something he wanted to take a look at. Although the Fireball Spell and Wind Blade's power weren't low, it was still not enough for the Demonic Beast.
If he had a more powerful spell, he wouldn't have been entangled with the big rat for so long yesterday. Under the circumstances where he wasn't sure of his own talent and spirit, he was more inclined towards the spirit of fire that was already confirmed to be useful.
In less than twenty breaths, Jiang Ting locked onto another spell.
The Firecloud Sword condensed a fire Longsword and slashed out. It was powerful, and could be cultivated at the fourth level of Qi Refining. However, according to the jade slip's records, although the power of the Firecloud Sword was high, it also consumed a lot of energy.
Using it once would consume roughly a third of the power of the fourth level of Qi Refining. Once it missed, it could be said to be a loss of blood!
However, with Jiang Ting's control over the battle, regardless of whether it was the person or the Demonic Beast, he was confident that it would not miss.
As for the Fire Cloud Sword, it was also one of the magic techniques recorded in the jade slip, and its power was almost the highest. The jade slip he obtained from the black-robed man contained information, magic, and so on. It was an extremely common item.
The speed at which he travelled became slower, and the magic power within his body began to circulate according to the jade slip's records. Because this was the first time he had used it, the speed at which it circulated wasn't very fast.2
After about five breaths, Jiang Ting suddenly stopped and waved his right hand forward.
