Chapter 355 7th Level of Qi Refining
"You, you little brat!"
The old man was so angry that he nearly lost his footing. "What a waste! That's the Sprout of Myriad Spirits, a treasure that even Nascent Soul cultivators would fight tooth and nail to obtain, and you just ate it raw?!"
Shen Rugo smacked her lips, feeling a sweet taste in her mouth, with a hint of herbal fragrance.
She touched her stomach and looked at the old man in confusion: "Grandpa, can't I eat this? I think it's pretty good."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt as if her stomach was about to explode, and an unimaginable amount of energy surged out, rushing wildly through her meridians!
The energy was gentle yet domineering. Wherever it passed, the meridians crackled and popped, and the barrier of the sixteenth level of Qi Refining was as fragile as paper, teetering on the verge of collapse!
"Ouch! It's so swollen!"
Shen Rugo felt like a balloon about to burst, her skin burning hot, and her meridians feeling like they were about to rupture at any moment.
The cub in her arms was also frightened by this energy, its fur standing on end, its eyes wide open, staring intently at her, and making rapid cries.
The old man panicked even more.
Having lived for so long, he had never seen anyone dare to eat the Sprout of All Spirits raw!
This is a treasure containing the primordial power of all things. Let alone a Qi Refining cultivator, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be overwhelmed by the energy and die if they ate it like this!
"It's all over, such a good prospect, what a waste..."
He was so anxious that he stamped his feet, but he didn't dare to step forward to help.
Shen Rugo felt as if she had been thrown into a boiling pot of spiritual liquid, her very bones screaming in agony.
The myriad life forces that sprouted from the myriad spirits surged through her body, and emerald light emanated from beneath her skin, making her look like a luminous green gemstone.
Enveloped by this domineering energy, Shen Rugo hurriedly activated the Five Elements Nine Revolutions Divine Art, transforming the energy into surging magical power, which flowed into her dantian through her meridians.
Her "vast as the sea" dantian finally revealed its power, frantically devouring the incoming magical power like a bottomless pit.
Even so, the energy was so abundant that she felt like her body was about to explode. Her face turned bright red, like a ripe apple.
"My little ancestor, the sprouting of all things needs to be refined slowly. How can you swallow it whole like this? What should we do!"
The old man was so anxious that he wanted to help, but he didn't know where to start.
As the spiritual light emanating from Shen Rugo grew brighter and brighter, even her hair stood on end like a bristling dandelion, the old man's heart leaped into his throat.
Zhao Cai, standing to the side, also stared wide-eyed at her, looking at her with disbelief.
It didn't expect that Shen Rugo would swallow the Wanling Sprout in one gulp.
It should be noted that this treasure is far superior to the 550,000-year-old Snow Lingzhi, and its value is several times greater. Shen Rugo had eaten the Snow Lingzhi slowly, bite by bite, and had never swallowed it in one gulp before.
Seeing Shen Rugo's face turn red as if she might explode at any moment, Zhao Cai was also on edge. He couldn't help but glare at the old man who was standing there dumbfounded. It was all that old man's fault. If she hadn't been afraid of him snatching it, Shen Rugo would never have swallowed the Ten Thousand Spirit Sprouts in one gulp!
This glare made the old man tremble all over, as if he were being stared at by a prehistoric beast.
He looked at Zhao Cai in astonishment. What kind of creature was this bald chicken that could frighten him?
Previously, he had never paid any attention to Zhaocai, regarding it merely as a pet that Shen Rugo kept for fun. But now, he couldn't help but examine it closely from head to toe.
Seeing this, Zhao Cai became even more furious and jumped up to peck at it.
The old man's figure flickered and he instantly appeared ten feet away.
Zhao Cai glared at him fiercely and quickly retreated to stand guard beside Shen Rugo.
As time passed, the swelling and pain in Shen Rugo's body gradually subsided.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she groggily opened her eyes and saw Zhao Cai perched on her shoulder, looking at her anxiously.
Shen Rugo reached out and patted Zhao Cai's head: "Thanks, Zhao Cai, I feel so good now..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud "boom" suddenly came from his dantian, as if something had exploded.
A warm current instantly spread throughout his body, and the barrier of the sixteenth level of Qi Refining was actually broken through by this energy!
"Foundation Establishment? You've achieved Foundation Establishment?"
Shen Rugo was stunned for a moment, then she was so happy that she wanted to jump up, but the next second she was completely dumbfounded.
"Seventeenth level of Qi Refining?"
"I actually broke through to the seventeenth level of Qi Refining, but not yet the Foundation Establishment stage? Is there really a seventeenth level of Qi Refining above the sixteenth level?"
"Heavens above, earth below, how could this be?"
Shen Rugo felt the changes within her body. Her dantian had expanded more than tenfold, truly as vast as the sea, and her cultivation level was a solid seventeenth level of Qi Refining, having nothing to do with Foundation Establishment.
“You child, you actually refined all the sprouts of all spirits?”
Your cultivation level is actually the seventeenth level of Qi Refining?
How could there be a Qi Refining Stage 17 in this world?
The old man then stepped closer, looking at Shen Rugo in disbelief and sensing the aura emanating from her.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up!"
At this moment, Zhao Cai suddenly stretched out its beak and gently pecked Shen Rugo's forehead, shouting loudly in her mind.
Startled by the peck, Shen Rugo snapped back to her senses, grabbed Zhao Cai by the neck and lifted it up, shouting fiercely, "Zhao Cai! It's all your fault for talking nonsense! If you hadn't lied, how could I have broken through to the seventeenth level of Qi Refining?"
"Your Highness, you are innocent! How could I possibly decide your cultivation level? I was just saying it casually!"
Zhao Cai immediately cried out that he was wronged.
"Even talking about it won't work!"
Shen Rugo huffed angrily, then quickly let go of her hand, plopped down on the ground, and said dejectedly, "If it weren't for your foul mouth, this wouldn't have happened! When will I ever break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"
The old man standing nearby was completely stunned.
This child is actually so angry because he broke through to the seventeenth level of Qi Refining?
Although he couldn't hear Zhao Cai's words, he heard Shen Rugo's shouts clearly.
Let alone the seventeenth level of Qi Refining, he had only seen a handful of people at the thirteenth or fourteenth level of Qi Refining in all the years he had lived.
"Cough cough!"
Seeing the heartbroken Shen Rugo, the old man was both annoyed and amused, and coughed twice.
Upon hearing the cough, Shen Rugo quickly came to her senses, stood up, and grinned at the old man.
"You're a good child, good, good, good!"
The old man said "good" to Shen Rugo three times.
"Thank you, sir, for allowing me to refine the Sprout of Myriad Spirits, which has improved my cultivation level so much!"
Shen Rugo thanked the old man.
"You're welcome. This is your good fortune."
The old man waved his hand, his gaze toward Shen Rugo growing increasingly kind and loving.
Shen Rugo's eyes darted around and she said, "Grandpa, if there are treasures here, are there also treasures in the summer, autumn, and winter places?"
She could tell that the old man was easy to talk to. Now that she had reached the seventeenth level of Qi Refining, she decided to muster her courage and continue searching for treasures, since there were still three places to go: Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
"I don't know about that. I've stayed here for countless years and have never gone out. You can go and see for yourself."
"You've stayed here all these years and never gone out?"
"Now it's not necessary, I'm leaving too. My child, I have high hopes for you, work hard, and I hope we can meet again in the future."
As the old man spoke, his body became increasingly ethereal.
"Old man, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Rugo was shocked.
But the old man waved his hand, and his body slowly dissipated like sand, eventually merging into the air.
