Chapter 6: Refining the Primordial Violet Qi

Lin Xiaoyu felt as if her master’s voice was echoing directly within her heart.

Her initial nervousness vanished instantly, replaced by a deep calm.

Following Chen Ping’s instructions, she stopped trying to force a grasp on the strand of violet qi.

Instead, she focused entirely on running her cultivation method, guiding her spiritual energy to form a profound cycle within her body.

Gradually, the Primordial Violet Qi began to move.

First it swayed gently, as if testing the waters.

Then, a tiny wisp of violet qi separated from the main stream and quietly merged into Lin Xiaoyu’s spiritual energy.

“Good.”

Golden light swirled in Chen Ping’s eyes, allowing him to see the process clearly.

“Now, guide it up along the Ren meridian, through the Shanzhong point, and into the Baihui point.”

With a thought from Lin Xiaoyu, the spiritual energy fused with the Primordial Violet Qi followed her will, slowly rising.

Under the gaze of Chen Ping’s Grand Dao Divine Eyes, a wondrous sight unfolded.

Wherever the wisp of violet qi passed, Lin Xiaoyu’s meridians seemed to be coated in a thin, glowing purple film.

Her meridians, already widened by the awakening of her Heavenly Dao Divine Physique, grew even tougher and more translucent.

The flow of her spiritual energy suddenly accelerated!

“Keep going,” Chen Ping’s voice was steady and powerful.

“Guide it down the Du meridian, through the Mingmen point, and return it to the Dantian.”

The spiritual energy fused with the Primordial Violet Qi completed a full minor cosmic orbit within Lin Xiaoyu’s body.

And at that very moment-

Boom!

Lin Xiaoyu’s body shuddered violently.

The strand of Primordial Violet Qi in her Dantian suddenly erupted, turning into countless purple specks of light that flowed along with her spiritual energy, instantly spreading throughout her entire body.

Her internal organs, her extraordinary meridians, her acupuncture points…

Every single corner was saturated by these purple specks of light.

Through Chen Ping’s Grand Dao Divine Eyes, Lin Xiaoyu seemed to have transformed into a statue of purple glazed glass, translucent all over, with her radiance restrained within.

Even more miraculously, the gray-black mists, which were the residual marks of the Heaven-Detested Physique, had still been stubbornly resisting.

But under the washing of the Primordial Violet Qi, they rapidly dissolved like snow meeting the sun.

【Ding! Detected disciple Lin Xiaoyu successfully channeling the Primordial Violet Qi, completing her first cosmic orbit!】

【Heaven-Detested Physique conversion progress: 30%→50%!】

【Heavenly Dao Divine Physique awakening progress: 15%→30%!】

【Disciple’s cultivation: Qi Refining Level 2→Qi Refining Level 4!】

A series of system prompts rang out in Chen Ping’s mind.

And immediately following that was feedback that shocked him even more:

【Ding! Host has received a 100,000-fold rebate: Primordial Violet Qi x 10,000 strands (compressed into 1 strand of Innate Primordial Source)!】

【Ding! Host has received a 100,000-fold rebate: Grand Dao Source Power +100,000 units!】

【Ding! Host has received a 100,000-fold rebate: Comprehension of the Heavenly Dao Divine Scripture has been elevated to the stage of mastery!】

【Ding! Host has received a 100,000-fold rebate: Cultivation level raised to Grand Dao Divine Scripture Qi Refining Level 3!】

Rumble-

Chen Ping felt as if a new world was being created inside his body!

Deep within his Dantian, ten thousand strands of Primordial Violet Qi were forcibly compressed and refined by the system, ultimately transforming into a tiny, almost imperceptible strand of Innate Primordial Source that contained endless creation.

The moment this strand of source took shape, it merged directly into the Grand Dao Source Power he had cultivated.

Instantly, all the pale-gold Grand Dao Source Power within Chen Ping’s body was dyed with a hazy purple halo.

Its quality had improved by far more than tenfold!

At the same time, a massive amount of Grand Dao Source Power surged out of thin air.

It pushed his Grand Dao Divine Scripture cultivation directly from Qi Refining Level 1 to Qi Refining Level 3.

And this was no ordinary Level 3. It was the Grand Dao Primordial Qi Refining Level 3, where every single realm was cultivated to flawless perfection, and his foundation was stabilized to the absolute limit.

Chen Ping forcibly suppressed the surging power within his body and continued to observe Lin Xiaoyu’s condition.

At this moment, the purple radiance on Lin Xiaoyu’s body was gradually receding.

The specks of Primordial Violet Qi had completely integrated into her body, becoming a part of her.

When she opened her eyes, her already clear gaze was even more translucent, and a purple-gold light seemed to swirl deep within her pupils.

“Master…” Lin Xiaoyu’s voice trembled slightly.

“I feel… completely different.”

She raised her hand and focused her mind.

A wisp of pale-gold spiritual energy swirled at her fingertips, and within the gold, a trace of purple radiance was faintly visible.

This was no ordinary spiritual energy, but Heavenly Dao spiritual energy fused with a trace of primordial qi.

Its quality far exceeded that of others at the same realm.

“Right now,” Chen Ping said, carefully sensing her aura.

“You should be at Heavenly Dao Primordial Qi Refining Level 4.”

“Qi Refining Level 4?”

Lin Xiaoyu was startled, automatically filtering out the “Heavenly Dao Primordial” part.

As a complete novice to cultivation, she did not understand much about these terms yet.

“But I only just broke through to Level 2…”

“This is the creative power of the Primordial Violet Qi,” Chen Ping explained.

“It not only raises your cultivation level but also fundamentally restructures your body, making your Dao foundation more stable and your potential deeper.”

He paused, then added, “However, you must remember that rising in cultivation too quickly is not necessarily a good thing. For now, do not seek further breakthroughs. Focus on consolidating your realm and familiarizing yourself with your power.”

“I understand!” Lin Xiaoyu nodded vigorously.

She could also feel that although the power surging within her was immense, controlling it was still a bit awkward.

She indeed needed time to get used to it.

“Alright, that is all for today’s cultivation.” Chen Ping withdrew his hand.

“Go fetch some water and wash off the impurities on your body.”

Only then did Lin Xiaoyu notice that a layer of sticky, gray-black substance had seeped out of her skin at some point, emitting a faint, unpleasant odor.

These were the final impurities expelled after the conversion of her Heaven-Detested Physique.

“Ah!”

She let out a soft cry and ran toward the stream in the back mountain with a flushed face.

Chen Ping watched her retreating figure, a gratified smile appearing on his face.

He walked back inside, closed the door, and finally began to inspect his own changes in detail.

He sank his consciousness into his Dantian.

The originally pale-gold Grand Dao Source Power had now turned a purple-gold color.

Although the total amount did not seem to have increased by much, the quality of every single trace of power had undergone a qualitative transformation.

If his previous Grand Dao Source Power was a small stream, then his current Grand Dao Primordial Source was a purple-gold river condensed countless times over.

Its power was on a completely different level.

System, what realm does my current strength roughly correspond to? Chen Ping asked in his mind.

【Evaluating…】

【Host is currently at the third layer of Qi Refining in the 《Grand Dao Divine Scripture》. Due to the unique nature of the cultivation method and the quality of your power, your actual combat strength is equivalent to: Golden Core Great Perfection.】

Chen Ping sucked in a sharp breath.

The third layer of Qi Refining, yet his combat strength was comparable to the Golden Core Great Perfection?

This 《Grand Dao Divine Scripture》 was simply absurd!

But on second thought, it made sense. This cultivation method trained Grand Dao Source Power, and what it refined was Primordial Violet Qi.

If his combat power at the same realm was inferior to that of ordinary cultivation methods, that would be strange.

Right, Chen Ping suddenly thought.

What specific benefits does that wisp of Innate Primordial Source bring me?

【Innate Primordial Source: Can slowly reconstruct the host’s body, evolving the Grand Dao Divine Physique into the Grand Dao Primordial Physique; can increase the cultivation speed of all cultivation methods and Divine Abilities; can enhance comprehension of the laws of the Grand Dao; can…】

The long list of benefits left Chen Ping dazzled.

In short, with this, his path of cultivation would be a smooth, open road.

“It seems taking Xiaoyu as my disciple really was the best decision I ever made,” Chen Ping mused.

How many days had it been?

He went from a useless peak master at the half-step Qi Refining stage with a nearly depleted lifespan,

to a cultivator of the 《Grand Dao Divine Scripture》 with combat strength comparable to the Golden Core Great Perfection and limitless potential.

The transformation felt like a dream.
