Chapter 5: Qi refinement realm
After sorting everything out, he checked the furnace in which he had completed his refinement. He didn't know if this was treasure or not, as Senior Hu Tian hadn't even mentioned it.
The furnace was bigger than him, resembling a large bowl with space at the bottom for igniting flames. Its shape made it clear that it was specifically designed for body refinement.
"Well, whatever it is, I'll store it in the ring for the time being," he thought, wanting to test the ring as well. He focused on the ring and willed it to absorb the furnace. He didn't even blink as the furnace disappeared from his sight.
"Amazing... " This was really an overwhelming experience for a person who was a mortal.
"Now let's peer inside and see what it contains."
The moment he willed it, his consciousness blurred, and his surroundings changed. He found himself in a pitch-black space with numerous items floating around. The furnace was there, along with two old books, a lot of herbs, and some stones. The stones must be the spirit stones Senior Hu Tian had mentioned, one of the books must be the heaven-grade cultivation technique.
He focused his attention on a single spirit stone and willed it to come out.
As he did, his consciousness blurred again, and the cave walls appeared in his view. A stone now rested in his palm. It was bluish-white and shone brightly.
This cave was quite deep in the mountains, and villagers don't come here. He decided that he could use it as a temporary base to cultivate to the first stage of the Qi Refinement realm.
Once he reached the first stage, he would easily be able to hunt any beasts in these mountains. Although, even without reaching the first stage, he doubted any beast here could match him.
After the refinement, he felt significantly stronger than before. He walked to the cave walls and punched them with moderate power.
