[Ding.. Congratulations host, you have broken through the bottleneck of the Physical Enhancement realm, successfully reaching the first level of the Qi Refining realm.]
As the notification rang in his ear, the invisible shackles that had bound his predecessor’s meridians—blockades he had felt after transmigrating—suddenly shattered completely. At that moment a torrent of pure yang energy, like molten lava, flooded through his primary meridians, ultimately crashing into his dantian like a golden river.
Chen Fang’s dantian, which earlier had felt like a corroded, stagnant pool of Qi, now suddenly spun as if it had been reborn.
The pure yang Qi swirled and crashed, refining itself against the walls of his spiritual sea while tempering his flesh at the same time.
‘So this is what a breakthrough feels like.’ The surge of strength made Chen Fang feel as though he could exact revenge on all those who had wronged his predecessor, but at the same time he knew he was probably getting swayed by the feelings.
With the realisation dawning on him, Chen Fang calmed down and decided to utilise this momentum and see whether he could achieve another breakthrough. To protect his disciple, his harem, and more importantly himself, strength was the main ingredient here.
The pure yang energy continuously and violently splashed against the walls of his dantian, creating small cracks one after another, followed by repair. As Chen Fang continued to circulate the pure yang energy together with the natural spiritual Qi, his dantian successfully grew, slowly accommodating more Pure Yang Qi with each passing second.

Soon enough another ringing sound fell into Chen Fang’s ears, followed by further notifications, and before he knew it he had already reached the fourth level of the Qi Refining realm. The chaotic pure yang energy that had seemed to be surging continuously finally calmed down.
‘It seems like this is my limit for now.’ Chen Fang finally opened his eyes, only to see that the room was completely filled with white steam; however, he could still perceive everything in the room.
Releasing a deep breath, Chen Fang got up from the bed, which now seemed completely soaked thanks to this strange cultivation phenomenon.
Gazing toward the door, Chen Fang walked out, only to realise that he had been cultivating for quite a bit of time—night had already arrived. But either way, nothing had gone to waste. With this amount of strength, he was certain he could protect his first harem member and disciple without any worries, at least within the sect. Follow the newest chapters on novelping(.)com.
As for the outside world, he would think about it later. For now, he needed to get some rest, because early in the morning he had to visit that demoness to obtain whatever information he could about the Dark Root Herb and the Serpent Lily flower.
‘Will she know about the Dark Immortal Curse?’ he pondered. Those herbs would definitely heal his disciple’s dantian, just as the system had told him, but with that curse suppressing the dantian, he knew the cultivation speed his disciple should have with the Immortal Sword Body would not be achieved at all.
‘I’ll think about it when the time comes.’ Chen Fang immediately put those thoughts away and decided to rest for now.
With his meagre knowledge of everything this world had to offer, he was in no position to place too many thoughts on it; it would only make his head hurt.
…
After a few hours of rest and putting on new robes, he walked out of the room and descended Cloud Sword Peak, as it was time to face that demoness for his disciple’s benefit.
Mo Lian, being the Alchemy Hall leader, naturally resided on the northern side of Cloud Sword Mountain, where the Alchemy Hall was located.
“Greetings, Elder Chen.”
“Who knows? Maybe the trash disciple he accepted ran away after realising he was even trashier than them, and he might be on his way to cry to the sect leader.”
As he made his way toward the Alchemy Hall, a few disciples greeted him out of courtesy, while others, not caring about such mortal formalities, began to whisper insults at Chen Fang as if he would not be able to hear them from afar.
‘Sigh, the cliché of a cultivation world. It’s definitely not worth my time.’ Although Chen Fang could hear them clearly and could easily put those unruly ones in their place, he decided it was not worth his time and continued his journey toward the Alchemy Hall.
After another half hour of walking, Chen Fang finally arrived in front of a large pagoda surrounded by smaller ones. Streams of black smoke continued to emanate from the chimneys atop the pagodas, highlighting that the Alchemy Hall was continuously working to provide the sect with pills and necessary alchemy items.
Mo Lian, being the leader of the Alchemy Hall, naturally resided in the grand pagoda built in the middle, overseeing everything that happened there.
Taking a deep breath and readying himself—knowing that once he went in there was no turning back—he had taken only a few steps when a female apprentice approached him.
“Elder Chen, what brings you here?”
Chen Fang stopped and looked at the woman. “Disciple Cang Yue, I have come here to meet your master,” he said with a smile.
This woman was the first disciple of Mo Lian and was as beautiful as her master.
‘Well, since she is a demoness obsessed with beauty, there is no way she would accept just anyone as her disciple,’ Chen Fang thought, looking at Cang Yue. She had fiery short red hair and dark black serpent-like eyes. Her body was voluptuous from every angle; her breasts were quite large, so much so that even her green Alchemy Hall robe could hardly hide them, while her perky round ass shook with each motion as she walked toward him.
“To meet Master?” Hearing those words, Cang Yue immediately had a smile on her face.
Although her master was one of the most talented alchemists on this continent, the source of her brightness and lively expressions was only this man standing right in front of her. Now that he had come knocking on their door, she couldn’t help but feel happy for her master.
