Not even a day had passed before Zhang Xiaosheng woke up from his cultivation state.
Looking at the spiritual stone powder on the ground, I couldn't help but feel speechless. The more than 2,100 low-grade spiritual stones were all consumed not long after I broke through the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Starting from the sixth level of Qi Refining, the number of spiritual stones consumed for each major cycle increased tenfold. When it reached the seventh level, 11 top-grade Qi Refining Pills were consumed. It took three hours and more than 100 spiritual stones were consumed.
To break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining with 10 spiritual qi, a full 1,200 spirit stones were consumed in just eight hours. 53 Great Weeks meant that 53 top quality Qi Refining Pills were consumed, so Zhang Xiaosheng had to spend another 800 in the process. Prestige purchased 100 pills.
The remaining spirit stones only lasted for four days of the eighth level before they were completely used up. The speed of cultivation dropped a bit, but the impact was not significant.
The hundred-elixir I purchased for the second time still had 86 pills when I broke through the eighth level, but it only lasted six and a half hours.
Now Zhang Xiaosheng is running the "Five Elements Divine Jue". With the addition of the Soul-Gathering Pendant and the Sect Master's robe, a small Zhoutian is just one breath, and a whole big Zhoutian is only 4 and a half minutes, but with the top-level refining Qi Dan assists but can absorb 35 strands of spiritual energy.
Not unhappy at all!
Even so, after the elixir was consumed, Zhang Xiaosheng only had 40 auras in his Dantian, 8 of each of the five attributes.
There is still a big gap between the nine levels of Qi refining and the hundred spiritual qi levels.

Zhang Xiaosheng sighed, although he practiced quickly, it consumed too much.
The spiritual stones in the sect's treasury cannot be retrieved for the time being, and there is not much reputation left. In order to avoid sudden events that will cause a decline in reputation, Zhang Xiaosheng does not dare to use the remaining 200 reputations.
Just two days before the sect conference, Zhang Xiaosheng broke through from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the eighth level of Qi Refining. With the help of a series of items, his level of improvement can be said to be skyrocketing.
Especially the top quality Qi Refining Pill is worthy of its name.
But the consumption is also huge. Not to mention low-grade spiritual stones, the reputation of the entire sect has been consumed by more than a thousand.
Without the elixir, just relying on one's own hard work can only increase less than 2 strands of spiritual energy in one Great Week, and it takes 60 strands of spiritual energy, or 6,000 strands, to break through to the ninth level of Qi training.
A day of continuous practice can only improve 560 shares, and it takes 11 days to improve.
All right……
It’s not that hard to accept.
Zhang Xiaosheng stood up and walked around the room, preparing to take a short rest before continuing to practice.
He has slowly adapted to this endless practice.
Fortunately, now I can break through every three to five, so it's not so boring.
Think about it, it took Liu Tianyu three full years to break through to the ninth level of Qi refining with his earth spirit roots.
It took three years and nine levels, four years to build the foundation, and he broke through the golden elixir in eighteen and thirty years. This was already an unprecedented speed in the Five Elements Sect.
It took more than twenty years to break through to the peak of the sixth level of the Golden Core. This is why many inner sect elders of the Five Elements Sect, although much older, are very convinced of Liu Tianyu, because the possibility of him breaking through to the Nascent Soul is very high.
However, once he became obsessed, everything stopped. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaosheng possessed him, otherwise the Five Elements Sect would have been in chaos.
Shaking his head slightly, he shook off the memories of the past and thought of the Five Elements Sect today.
This is your foundation, the source of your reputation, and your home base. The stronger the foundation, the further you can go.
The previous thought of requiring disciples at the fifth level of Qi Refining not to practice spells before breaking through to the eighth level was to speed up their cultivation progress from the fifth to the eighth level.
So for disciples below the fifth level of Qi refining, maybe spirit stones can be distributed to assist them in their cultivation...
An improvement of 10% is also an improvement, not to mention that there are not many disciples below the fifth level, and the spiritual stones consumed must not be much.
Why didn't you distribute it to these disciples before?
According to Liu Tianyu's memory, it was because he was afraid of causing the disciples to have the habit of relying on spirit stones for cultivation, and to treat everyone equally, because the sect simply could not afford it if the high-level disciples of Qi Refining used spirit stones to assist their practice.
What's more, if it is given during the Qi Refining stage, will it be given out during the Foundation Building stage, or will it be given out during the Golden elixir stage?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but sneer. He didn't agree with this view.
Even if the sect bears the burden in the early stage of Qi refining, the burden will be very light. Getting through the novice stage as soon as possible will make the disciples even more eager to make breakthroughs.
Genius disciples need to be polished because they have good qualifications, practice quickly, and will go further in the future, so they must make steady progress.
But for disciples with ordinary qualifications, the end point is basically determined from the beginning, so they can get through the novice stage as soon as possible, so that these teenagers can retain more of their desire for breakthroughs, instead of slowly becoming silent in the past few years. , thus creating the kind of inert mentality that if you can make a breakthrough, break through, and if you don’t make a breakthrough, you will grind slowly, and your cultivation will be very slow anyway.
Moreover, 90% of the sect's spiritual stones are spent every year, and the remaining accumulated over the years will be equivalent to more than ten years of income.
These spiritual stones can only wait to become moldy, so it is better to take them out to help everyone improve their realm faster, convert resources into combat power, and then use combat power to fight for more resources.
You can also fight for resources during the Qi refining period!
The Five Elements Sect is a second-rate sect, under the jurisdiction of the first-rate sect Bihai Chaosheng Sect. Every ten years there is a sect exchange conference, which divides the ownership of spiritual mines and square cities within the entire first-rate sect based on rankings.
The Five Elements Sect is in the middle of the second tier, so it only has ownership of a small spiritual mine and one-third of the management rights of a medium-sized city.
The sect exchange conference is divided into Qi Refining Stage Competition, Foundation Establishment Stage Competition, Golden Core Stage Competition and Sect Master Competition.
Although the level of the Qi Refining Stage is low, it represents the future of the sect, and its score ratio is not low.
If you can get a few more points during the Qi refining period, it may have a great impact on the final result.
Maybe the first one will be allocated a medium-sized spiritual mine, while the second one will be assigned a small spiritual mine. This situation is also common.
There are less than two years until the next sect exchange conference. The disciples of Five Elements Sect have not made any outstanding progress in the past ten years. Liu Tianyu originally hoped to break through the late stage of Jindan and move the sect up a few positions, but now As the leader of the sect, Zhang Xiaosheng only has the eighth level of Qi refining. Fortunately, he still has time, otherwise he would probably fall to the bottom of the second-rate.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaosheng plans to improve the strength of the disciples at all levels of the Five Elements Sect as much as possible within two years, and strive to improve the ranking from the current 23rd. The Bihai Chaosheng Sect has a total of 36 second-rate sects, and it must be more than half to 18th.
As for his own side, he must return to Liu Tianyu's previous strength as soon as possible. Even if he cannot break through the late stage, he cannot let himself lose points here.
From the first to fifth levels of Qi refining, spiritual stone assistance is distributed, while from the fifth to eighth levels, practicing spells is prohibited.
After the eighth floor...
Perhaps the educational experience in the previous life can be considered, just like taking a class, where the elders of the outer sect publicly preach and teach spell-casting skills and experience.
This will not waste much time of the elders, but also ensure that these disciples can make random guesses on their own.
As for the foundation building period, what is more important is some insights on cultivation.
The elders of the inner sect give intensive lessons and impart insights.
This way the levels are clear and you won’t waste too much time.
Nowadays, the outer disciples are basically in a free-range state. If you have any questions, you can ask the deacons and the like. The outer elders are generally not responsible for specific affairs, while the inner disciples are only taught by their own masters.
But one person is short-term and two people are long-term. Maybe the current teaching method of the master is not necessarily suitable?
The only way to progress is to learn from the strengths of others.
besides……
In the early stage of Qi refining, it won't be much faster just by relying on spiritual stones. Only at the fifth level of Qi refining can one be able to be fasted. If the sect buys fasted pills and distributes them, this will save the trouble of going to the canteen to eat every day. It takes two or three hours just to eat and decompose, plus the interruption of cultivation state, etc...
The speed can be increased by at least 20%!
Zhang Xiaosheng was slightly proud, there was still a way!
Spend a little money and do big things!
After careful calculation, it actually doesn’t cost much.
There are only thirty or forty disciples below the fifth level of Qi Refining. The spiritual stones allow them to cultivate to the fifth level of Qi Refining. Plus the cost of the Bigu Pill, each person cannot exceed 50 yuan. Even if this amount is added to everyone, It's only six thousand pieces of low-grade spiritual stones.
The elders, whether they belong to the inner or outer sect, have their own annual resource allocation. Each elder can preach for one day a month, which is not a high requirement.
But to sum it up, disciples in the Qi refining stage have the opportunity to listen to sermons for more than ten days a month, while inner disciples only have the opportunity to listen to sermons for less than 6 or 7 days.
This falls into the category of welfare.
If there are rewards, there cannot be no punishments.
We cannot use resources in vain without making breakthroughs.
The outer sect deacons do not need to preach, so arrange for them to record the monthly cultivation progress of the outer sect disciples. If they practice with spiritual stones every day, coupled with the experience imparted by their seniors, and still cannot make breakthroughs for a long time, appropriate deductions of resources will be made .
Naturally, there is no need for Zhang Xiaosheng, the sect leader, to worry about the specific measures. He only needs to arrange the ideas.
After thinking for a long time and having a general direction, Zhang Xiaosheng breathed a sigh of relief.
When you are a leader, you have to seek benefits for those below you. Otherwise, you won’t be able to suppress others just by relying on your strength!
Still proud of his "advanced ideas," Luo Xuan's voice from the outer door sounded a little eagerly.
"Sect Master, Luo Xuan has something to ask for!"
Zhang Xiaosheng was slightly surprised. It had only been two days. If there was something important, he sat cross-legged on the couch and replied:
"Come in."
