I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 3: The Wealthiest Novice Disciple

Qin Yi returned to his room and locked the door.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and began took out various treasures from the storage system. He harvested a lot today. Aside from an unexpected new aptitude, he obtained pills, spirit stones, martial arts, and a storage pouch.

They were scattered all over his bed.

There are three pills with different kinds of colors in front of him. In the eyes of mortals, these pills look very much like pretty and colorful marbles. However, for cultivators, these pills are precious resources.

Even the lowest grade pill is something that cannot be bought with gold.

Pills are an indispensable resource for every cultivator. As far as Qin Yi knew, pills are only distributed to the outer disciple and inner disciples every month. For novice disciples like him who had not even managed to gather spiritual energy yet, pills are like holy medicine, and something that he should not have.

Qin Yi picks a white translucent color pill up, this pill called Qi Strengthening Pill.

Although his knowledge about the cultivation world is limit, he sometimes joined an experienced-fellow-novice-disciples in discussing cultivation, pills, martial arts, etc. Hence, he knew quite a bit regarding pills.

He learned that Qi Strengthening Pills were pills to assist Qi Condensation Realm cultivators in cultivation.

Staring at Qi Strengthening Pill, an abrupt idea suddenly comes into his head.

"System, perform casual extraction on this Qi Strengthening Pill!"

With a quick response from the system, a notification appeared in front of Qin Yi.

[Extraction completed!]

[Obtained 60 spiritual energy.]

[Obtained 40 impurity.]

[Note: These spiritual energies were produced from a concoction of various heaven and earth materials until they formed a pill. It had already been processed into pure spiritual energy and was ready to be absorbed and refined by cultivators at the Qi Condensation Realm into qi. However, as the Alchemist who concocted the pill had a limited skill, it still contained many impurities. Does the Host want to keep it?]

Qin Yi hesitated for a bit before he finally decided to keep it first and research it later.

"Keep it!"

He picked up another pill with a different color.

According to the system, this pill is Detoxification Pill.

It has the function of neutralizing poison. Although it is gradeless, it is still better than being poisoned.

He asked the system to extract this pill...

[Extraction completed!]

[Obtained 30 neutralizers.]

[Obtained 25 impurity.]

[Note: A pill produced by mixing various heaven and earth materials produces a neutralizing effect of common poisons. However, as the Alchemist who concocted the pill had a limited skill, it still contained many impurities. Does the Host want to keep it?]

"Keep it!"

Moving on to the pills, Qin Yi saw several small booklets. These are all martial arts, including two cultivation techniques, a martial skill, and a movement skill.

One of the cultivation techniques is written with familiar words on it "Qi Condensation Manual".

Several days ago, he tried to cultivate using this cultivation technique. Perhaps it was because his martial aptitude was too bad, or this cultivation technique's quality was too low, or both. Therefore, his efforts were fruitless.

Somehow, he also thought that since he had a system for extracting Cultivation Point, why bother with cultivating?

Hence, he decided to stop cultivating this most basic cultivation technique.

Perhaps the last time experience also applies to this Wind Force. Since it is only a Human grade cultivation technique, therefore, he could only pass.

However, martial skill "Ten Illusionary Hand" and movement skill "Flowing Cloud Step Technique" is worth learning.

Qin Yi opened the two martial arts books and read them one by one.

These two martial arts are a martial skill called "Ten Illusionary Palm" and a movement skill called "Flowing Cloud Step Technique."

These two are decent martial arts since they are only Human Grade martial arts.

According to what was written in the booklet: as long as Qin Yi master Ten Illusionary Hand, he could manipulate the formless spiritual energy and form it into a hand or more. He could make it to attack or even defend himself from the enemy's attack.

This martial skill is an excellent martial skill for someone who dislikes close-combat technique like Qin Yi.

Qin Yi also started to read Flowing Cloud Step Technique, and he found: Although Flowing Cloud Step Technique unable to make him fly, it can allow him to form a small cloud in the air and step on it.

It was equivalent to walking in the air.

"This movement technique is… not bad."

The only pity is that he cannot learn it right away because he is yet to step into the First Stage of Qi Condensation Realm.

"Sigh..."

Qin Yi could only smile wryly.

With his current progress by extracting Cultivation Points from Deacon, it would take two years to step into the First Stage of Qi Condensation Realm. That was if he did not convert it into Mastery Point. After all, Mastery Points were needed to learn martial arts.

Therefore, he can only wait for two years to learn these martial arts.

His current priority is accumulating Cultivation Points from Deacon and wait until it reached 1000, then step into the First Stage of Qi Condensation Realm.

As for these martial art… no other choice. It seems like he can only wait until he enters the outer sect and become the outer disciple two years later.

Putting these three small booklets back into the storage system. Qin Yi shifts his eyes into shiny stones.

These shiny stones are spirit stones.

Spirit stone is the currency of the cultivators. They usually used it to buy various cultivation necessities such as pills, martial arts, heaven and earth materials, etc.

He picked up a spirit stone with his right hand.

"System, use casual extraction on this spirit stone!"

A second later…

[Extraction completed!]

[Obtained 50 Impurity.]

[Note: When spiritual energy gathers in one place, it usually results in a condensation of spiritual energy into a mine of spirit stones of varying grades. This spirit stone belonged to a low-grade spirit stone and contained impure spiritual energy. Cultivators should not consume it directly. Does the host want to keep it?]

"So, it was useless after all…"

Nonetheless, he still decided to keep it.

Although he was unsure what impurity was used for, he could study it later since the system could store it.

Qin Yi saw spirit stones on the bed. There are 100 of them.

"Hehe, not bad. Now I'm the richest in the Novices' Quarter!"

Qin Yi grinned happily.

Although the number 100 sounded meager. For a not-yet-cultivator like Qin Yi, possessing 100 spirit stones was an unimaginable fortune.

Of course, these spirit stones were useless for current him. However, it will be a great necessity when he becomes the Outer Disciple in the future.

He also found a storage pouch in the storage system, but it is useless for him since he has more convenient and safer storage space from the system.

Furthermore, the space in the storage pouch is only about one cubic meter. Qin Yi disdainfully threw it into the corner of the storage system.

After that, he opens UI and saw that there is a change in his status.

-------

He lay down on the bed, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"So great…"

***

Time continued flowing…

And in the blink of an eye, two years passed.

In the past two years, Qin Yi has kept his duty, sweeping, washing, and chopping wood diligently. He encountered no trouble.

Apart from that, he also never neglected to extract the Cultivation Points from Deacon.

So far, he accumulated 1100 Cultivation Points, but he never used them even after two years had passed since he did not hurry to raise his cultivation base.

Or rather, he dares not to use Cultivation Points to raise his cultivation base unscrupulously. He did not want to stand out too much under Deacon's close supervising.

In this Novices' Quarter, Qin Yi's aptitude belonged to the lowest grade. Some Novice Disciples have superior aptitude than him.

There are two types of people who end up in the Novices' Quarter. One was a person who pulled the string but had the lowest aptitude, and the other was a person who had decent aptitude but was poor and had no background or whatsoever.

Qin Yi belongs to the previous one.

Even if he had a recommendation letter, it does not mean he enjoyed the privilege to enter the higher class directly and effortlessly.

For a low-grade aptitude like Qin Yi, being accepted and placed in the Novices Quarter was already a privilege for holders of letters of recommendation.

In the end, he still had to prove himself whether he is worthy of a recommendation letter or not.

According to the standard progress of people with low-grade aptitude, they can officially become Qi Condensation in three at the earliest and five years at the latest.

However, Qi Yi is planning to become Qi Condensation half a year later.

He wants to advance earlier but not too early. Two and a half years are enough for the sect to regard him as a remarkable novice disciple without showing any suspicious factors.

If any chance the sect finds it is suspicious, they will not overthink it. At most, they only assumed that they had misjudged Qin Yi's aptitude.

However, when the sect wanted to re-test his aptitude once again, Qin Yi's aptitude had already changed from low-grade to medium-grade, proving that they indeed were misjudged.
