Fantasy: I Can Instantly Comprehend Everything

Chapter 6



Fortuitous Encounter

Before the others could come back to their senses, Zhou Yun had already disappeared into the distance.

As this place where he had been cultivating had been disturbed, he no longer desired to stay here.

He could only find another place.

Not long after, Zhou Yun arrived at a secluded mountain forest.

His body rose into the air and finally sat down cross-legged on a huge rock.

After sitting down, he began to think about his next move.

Now that he was already at the fifth layer of Qi cultivation, he would have no problem dealing with the outer sect disciple assessment.

However, the problem of his innate ability had not been solved yet.

Previously, when he was cultivating, he had already discovered that his innate ability was extremely limited.

His cultivation journey ahead would be very difficult and the upper limit of his cultivation would be low.

Even though he had the system’s assistance, his own innate ability would still limit his development.

If he did not solve this problem, his future potential would be stunted.

Zhou Yun sighed and took out a cloth bag he carried with him. Inside the bag were the pills and spiritual stones that Spirit Valley had given him.

He lamented, “I’m dirt poor! The saying about scholars being poor and warriors being rich is not wrong!”

Zhou Yun looked at the shriveled cloth bag and could not bear to open it.

He didn’t even need to look in it to know that there wasn’t much left.

Since spiritual Qi was scarce, the resources distributed to the disciples by Spirit Valley had also been reduced.

In recent times, the allocation of resources to all disciples had been cut back.

The allocation to the inner sect disciples had also been reduced by a third.

As for the outer sect disciples, the reduction was even greater.

Each outer sect disciple was originally given one spiritual stone plus five Qi Refining Pills to assist in their cultivation.

Now, that amount was directly halved, from the original one spiritual stone to half a spiritual stone per person.

The number of Qi Refining Pills had also been cut down to three.

The cultivation resources for the outer sect disciples became even more insufficient.

“Even a dog would pity me if it saw my resources!”

Helplessly, Zhou Yun opened the cloth bag.

He had no choice.

For his cultivation, pills and spiritual stones were essential.

Without these cultivation resources, cultivation would only be half as effective.

Furthermore, without pills to nourish his body, his cultivation speed would only slow down gradually.

Zhou Yun composed himself.

He opened the cloth bag with trembling hands and looked at the few remaining Qi Refining Pills inside.

The spiritual stones distributed to him had long been used up.

The spiritual stones that could have supported his cultivation for half a month had been used up in just seven days.

Zhou Yun had no way to overcome this shortage.

When he took out the pills, a faint medicinal fragrance immediately spread in the air.

Although the number of pills was apparent at a glance, Zhou Yun counted them one by one.

One.

Two.

Three!

That was all he had. There were only three in total.

In addition to the six that he had previously accumulated, right now, Zhou Yun’s entire net worth was only these nine pills.

Looking at these pills, Zhou Yun had a headache.

Even if these pills were sold, they would be worth less than three spiritual stones.

Normally, the absorption rate of spiritual Qi from consuming the pills was higher than that of spiritual stones.

However, the spiritual Qi absorbed from spiritual stones was purer than that of pills.

After all, one was natural while the other was refined.

Now that Zhou Yun’s strength had increased, his need for pills and cultivation resources had increased.

When he was at the first layer of Qi cultivation, the resources distributed by the sect were barely enough.

Now that Zhou Yun was at the fifth layer of Qi cultivation, his need for spiritual stones and pills was much greater than before.

It was as though he was growing from a baby to an adult. As his strength increased, his appetite would also increase.

Originally, one pill was enough to support him for almost a day of cultivating.

Now, one pill was only enough to support his cultivation for two hours.

These nine pills added together were not even enough for him to cultivate for a day.

This was not enough to satisfy his cultivation needs.

“What do I do?”

His poverty once again made Zhou Yun feel the difficulty of the times.

“I’m lacking in pills and spiritual stones.”

A man was only as good as his resources!

Zhou Yun recalled these famous words and once again felt the pain he experienced at work in his previous life.

“Master, you can try refining pills! Can’t you just refine some pills and trade them for spiritual stones?”

A cute female voice rang in his mind, interrupting Zhou Yun’s train of thought.

“Of course I know that medicinal pills can be exchanged for spiritual stones. The problem is that I don’t know how to…”

Just as Zhou Yun was about to retort the system, he suddenly stopped.

That’s right!

He could refine pills!

He had the God-tier Enlightenment System, so he only needed to observe the process of alchemy in order to learn it.

He could also read a few manuscripts about Qi Refining Pills.

Then, he would be able to produce them.

Even producing higher grade medicinal pills would not pose a problem to him.

Zhou Yun slapped his forehead in revelation.

“I actually forgot to make use of such a useful cheat. How foolish of me.”

After some consideration, Zhou Yun finally decided to try refining pills.

After putting away his remaining pills, Zhou Yun flew down from the huge rock.

He tidied up his clothes and headed towards the Alchemy Pavilion.

Not long after, he arrived at his destination.

Before he came here, he had sold his remaining nine pills at cost price.

These nine pills were exchanged for a total of two spiritual stones, one of which was used to buy medicinal herbs.

The other one was used to rent an alchemy room.

After all this was in order, Zhou Yun began to prepare to refine pills.

Elsewhere, Ji Ha was walking around in boredom.

Zhou Yun had left after he had displayed his strength, leaving them behind.

Qin Xiu, who Ji Ha had been clinging to, had also left. Qin Xu claimed that he was summoned by his tutor.

After Qin Xiu left, the few of them also went their separate ways.

Due to the huge blow they had suffered this time, the few lackeys appeared disinterested when they parted ways.

As for Ji Ha, who was sent flying by Zhou Yun, he was even more depressed.

He couldn’t figure out how Zhou Yun’s strength had suddenly reached the fifth layer of Qi cultivation.

All of them were well aware of Zhou Yun’s aptitude. He was absolutely trash.

His innate ability and talent were extremely limited.

Otherwise, how could he fail to make any breakthroughs in the past two years?

However, in just a few days, he had already reached the fifth layer of Qi cultivation.

He mumbled, “Either he has been hiding his strength, or he has had a fortuitous encounter recently.”

Ji Ha thought for a while and came to these two conclusions.

Of course, he was more inclined to the second conclusion.

No matter how much they mocked him before this, Zhou Yun had always been unmoved. So why did he suddenly attack this time?

Now that he thought about it, Zhou Yun must have had some fortuitous encounter.

After coming to this conclusion, Ji Ha was in a great mood.

This was because he knew that opportunities were hard to come by, but they were usually single occurrences.

In other words, if Zhou Yun had obtained some fortuitous encounter to reach the fifth layer of Qi cultivation in such a short period of time, he might be stuck at the same layer for the rest of his life.

Ji Ha thought of this as he walked past an alchemy room.

He was about to continue on his way when he suddenly stopped and turned his head.

He was a little dazed when he saw Zhou Yun’s figure in the alchemy room.

“Zhou Yun is refining pills?”

How was that possible?

Ji Ha found this interesting. He quickly took out his voice transmission stone to inform Qin Xiu of this matter.
