Dream Dao Attainment: Opening Scheme Against Cultivators

Dream-Making Expert

“Sigh.”

With a sigh, Lin Qi stepped out of the meditation chamber.

His blue robe was upright and straight, and on his handsome face, untouched by wind or frost, was a trace of contemplation.

“The Ninefold True Fire Talisman’s refinement and absorption of heaven and earth’s vital essence is even more exaggerated than I expected.”

“Originally, when I drew qi into my body and cultivated one cycle, my true qi conversion efficiency was about thirty percent.”

“But after condensing the Ninefold True Fire Talisman, my true qi became increasingly pure, yet the conversion efficiency plummeted to less than ten percent.”

Lin Qi’s expression turned grave.

According to his previous cultivation efficiency, refining one Talisman Seed took roughly two years.

Then, after condensing the Ninefold True Fire Talisman, it was equivalent to refining nine Talisman Seeds at once. By reasonable calculation, completely refining the Ninefold True Fire Talisman would probably take eighteen years.

Yet the reality was even worse than Lin Qi had originally imagined.

The Ninefold True Fire Talisman was too strong.

So strong that it had further tempered and purified the true qi Lin Qi had already cultivated.

Originally, one cultivation cycle could produce thirty percent true qi, but now it produced less than ten percent.

Though the quality of the true qi had risen significantly.

It also meant Lin Qi’s speed of cultivating true qi had dropped by roughly threefold.

With such a trade-off, Lin Qi strongly suspected that refining the Ninefold True Fire Talisman might take him sixty years.

I can no longer rely solely on my own cultivation.

I now need a massive amount of cultivation resources to enhance the speed of drawing qi into my body and improve my cultivation efficiency.

Lin Qi felt he had to start pill refining and walk the path of cultivation through medication.

He had long wanted to refine Qi-Nourishing Pills to assist Qi Refining Realm cultivation.

But his previous cultivation efficiency had always been fast, and even taking Qi-Nourishing Pills wouldn’t increase it by much.

So it had been left aside.

But now, the calculated cultivation speed had dropped to a level Lin Qi could not tolerate.

Relying solely on normal qi-drawing and qi-refining could no longer satisfy his regular cultivation.

He had to refine pills.

“Moreover, with the Ninefold True Fire Talisman’s overbearing might, I’m afraid the legendary Pill Toxin would have no effect on me at all. It would be burned clean by the Ninefold True Fire Talisman directly.”

“If that’s the case, as long as I consume enough pills, my cultivation speed might actually be greatly reduced from the original estimate.”

Lin Qi pondered for a moment, then immediately notified Yun Fuyu, asking her to help him collect the various medicinal ingredients needed to refine Qi-Nourishing Pills.

When Yun Fuyu received Lin Qi’s notice, she was both startled and delighted, and hurried over.

After a conversation, Yun Fuyu nodded while noting down the various medicinal ingredients Lin Qi needed, and said, “Foster Father. I heard the Immortal Master wants to summon you. I wonder if there is anything I can help with?”
