...
In the following fifteen days, Chen Ye maintained a very regular schedule.
After completing the errands at the Herb Pavilion,
he spent most of his time meditating and cultivating.
The remainder of his time was used to cultivate the Cyan Wave Sword Control Technique.
Occasionally, he toyed with the General Puppet Core, refining it further.
Before bed, he habitually performed some visualization.
Thanks to the ninety-six Spirit Stones in Ji Yueze’s Storage Bag, Chen Ye was able to purchase a large number of Upper Grade Qi Recovery Pills.
With the aid of the Qi Recovery Pills, his progress was very remarkable!
"Panel." Chen Ye moved his thoughts.
[Name: Chen Ye]
[Life Span: 40/142]
[Spiritual Root: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth]
[Realm: Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer]
[Cultivation Technique: Evergreen Technique Grandmaster: 1250/3200; Heavy Body Technique Limit Break: 67/800; Seven Luminaries Soul Nourishing Technique Visualization Chapter Beginner: 58/100]

At present,
the Cyan Wave Sword Control Technique has already broken through to the Fourth Layer!
The Fourth Layer is called Inverted Sea, emphasizing a sword pressure as fierce as the tide, forcefully overturning the sea.
There is also a specialized Flying Sword Technique known as Overlapping Waves Triple Slash.
Overlapping Waves Triple Slash is precisely the essence of the Fourth Layer.
This swordsmanship emphasizes overlapping Sword Qi, each wave stronger than the last, each wave faster than the last!
The first slash seems ordinary, yet it accumulates Sword Momentum for the subsequent two slashes;
The second slash sees a surge in Sword Momentum, making it undeniably powerful;
By the third slash, both Sword Qi and Sword Momentum reach their peak!
"Phew... that’s good. While Cyan Wave Line is powerful, using it requires exhausting all strength, leaving no room for exertion afterward."
Chen Ye was genuinely delighted; mastering the Overlapping Waves Triple Slash meant there were no longer any shortcomings in his Flying Sword Technique!
In addition, Geng Metal Qi successfully broke through to Master.
Though it didn’t lead to a qualitative change, its power increased by a good fifty percent!
Previously, Geng Metal Qi was always a reliable method for Chen Ye, but unfortunately, as his opponents grew stronger, the once all-powerful Geng Metal Qi gradually seemed inadequate.
Fortunately, now that Geng Metal Qi has broken through again, it can once more serve as a powerful method for Chen Ye!
However, after purchasing a large number of Qi Recovery Pills, he was left strapped for Spirit Stones.
After all, now that he is a late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator, only Upper Grade Qi Recovery Pills can restore sufficient Spiritual Power.
And the price of one Upper Grade Qi Recovery Pill is five Spirit Stones!
Chen Ye opened his Storage Bag, finding only a mere twenty Spirit Stones left, along with the Second Tier General Puppet Core and a pile of Magical Artifacts.
He couldn’t help but shake his head; earlier he thought he had substantial assets, never expecting to find himself strapped for cash again, just to improve the Cyan Wave Sword Control Technique.
"Well, if you don’t sacrifice the child, you can’t trap the wolf."
Chen Ye comforted himself. The Great Success of the Cyan Wave Sword Control Technique had brought him a tangible boost in combat strength,
"It’s time to sell off past spoils... Since Listening Wind Pavilion has yet to arrange a suitable time, I’ll take this opportunity to enhance my cultivation."
With his thoughts settled, Chen Ye prepared to seek out Hee Qi.
A few days ago, Hee Qi mentioned that Moon Rhinoceros Lake’s Formless Ghost Market was about to commence, a prime opportunity to sell spoils and purchase resources!
"Master! Look at Senior Sister!"
Just as Chen Ye was about to head out, a little girl suddenly burst into the room, grabbing Chen Ye’s clothing and pulling him outside.
Chen Ye was startled: "What’s wrong with Zhiwei?"
"Sister... boo hoo..."
The little girl squeezed out a couple of tears, her face full of sorrow. Just as Chen Ye’s heart was sinking,
she suddenly broke into a smile: "Senior Sister broke through! Senior Sister has reached the Fourth-Layer of Qi Cultivation!"
Chen Ye almost choked on his breath; where did this girl learn such antics?
Just as he was about to scold Qing Jun,
the little girl, seemingly prepared, quickly retreated two steps, then puffed out her chest with a proud face: "Didn’t Master notice? Qing Jun is at the Third-Layer of Qi Cultivation!"
The hand Chen Ye reached out was suddenly avoided by the little girl’s two-step retreat.
His fingers trembled slightly, as he feigned confusion: "Oh? How did Master not see that? Qing Jun, come over and let Master take a good look..."
"Stare..."
The little girl squinted her eyes.
