Chapter 233: Spiritual Rank?
In the next instant, the purple aurora-colored Dou Qi enveloping El's body intensified, causing his body to tremble violently, rising two levels at once, from a 1-star Dou Zhe to a 3-star Dou Zhe.
But just as it broke through the 2 small realms, El activated the Selfess state. So his original Dou Qi quantity was well suppressed, a normal 1-star Dou Zhi, with no additional initial attribute value.
Ding!
Suddenly, a notification echoed in El's mind.
Slowly, El opened his eyes, the usual cold radiance now slightly dimmed, replaced by a look that somehow felt more alive, something he hadn't even realized yet.
The Samsara Mantra, the cultivation method El had created hisself, had not been fully tested. Whether there were any side effects or not, El didn't fully understand.
But El was still determined to practice it. The result? It was still a mystery to his.
El frowned faintly, feeling something different, he felt warmer, not as empty as before.
Was this just a temporary side effect, or did it have something to do with the true purpose of reviving his family?
However, El didn't want to get lost in confusion. Exhaling softly, El turned his attention to the status screen which now displayed a significant change compared to before.

'So since I cultivated a method that can strengthen spiritual power, is the Spirit Rank realm now displayed?' El thought as he closed the hologram screen in front of his.
El still remembered some information regarding the level of the State of Soul in the BTTH world.
The soul is the source of life. Nothing would exist without a soul. If one's soul is not destroyed, it will still have a thread of life. Anyone would still respect this kind of mysterious thing.
Although not specific, it is necessary to know that the Spiritual State is divided into four levels: Mortal State, Soul State, Heavenly State, and Di State.
Most people, even alchemists who are below the 8th level, remain in the Mortal State. There is only a slight variation in strength among most Spiritual Powers.
With luck, some 7th level alchemists may be able to vaguely touch the Soul State. If one's Spiritual Power has reached this level, it will acquire certain effects
Those effects are to endow the soul, providing medicinal pills with spirituality, one must realize that most 8th level medicinal pills have spirituality.
It is thanks to this spirituality that they can reach the 8th level.
Regardless of how great an ordinary alchemist's pill refinement technique is, the medicinal pills they create will never reach the 8th level if they cannot provide the pills with spirits.
Heavenly State, one should know that when it comes to 9th level medicinal pills, the intelligence would be no different from ordinary people.
This is equivalent to a kind of creation, the creation of life. One must not only give it spirituality, but also possess the power of nature.
To achieve this, one must reach the omnipotent Heavenly State. There are likely very few people on this continent who can reach this level.
The reason El can cultivate faster than other people can also be said to be because his soul is extremely powerful, equivalent to a 5th level alchemist, as a result of the grafting of Sasuke and Tanjiro's souls.
'But let's forget about that for a moment,' he continued inwardly, 'I don't have the slightest desire to become an alchemist anyway.'
El immediately turned his attention to Yun Yun and Xiao Yan, who were now radiating an aura of vigilance mixed with worry.
El looked at the two in turn before finally speaking in a calm tone. "Dajie, Yao Yan. Please do not worry."
Yun Yun was the first to respond, her voice containing firmness. "Are you serious? This is not the Wind Burning Qi Method I gave you..."
El smiled faintly and nodded slowly. "It isn't. This is a Qi Method that Ji created himself, inspired by the Wind Burning Qi Method."
Hearing that, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up with interest, but it was Yun Yun who opened her voice first. "What? You created the Qi Method yourself? How could-"
However, before Yun Yun could finish her sentence, El interrupted with a calm voice. "Ji knows Dajie is curious and wants to ask more, but sorry, Ji can't explain it."
El took a deep breath before continuing, his voice sounding deeper and more sincere. "What's clear is that Ji doesn't know how to thank you anymore. Ji really owes Dajie a lot."
After saying that, El slowly stood up, his expression still calm yet filled with respect. However, the difference this time was that El's aura was cool, like fresh morning air.
{Notes: From now on, the MC's previously cold, calm almost emotionless nature due to Rinnegan's over-dominance, changed 180%. So don't be confused}.
With calm steps, El walked past Xiao Yan and Yun Yun, who were now even more curious about his true identity.
However, they realized that even asking would be useless, El would obviously not give an answer.
"Ji Lan," Yun Yun's voice sounded soft, yet there was firmness in it. "Where are you going?"
El paused for a moment, then replied in a casual tone. "Going out for a while to check the extent of the benefits Ji has gotten from the Qi Method Ji created."
Without waiting for a response, El took another step toward the mouth of the cave. However, before actually exiting, he turned his head and smiled faintly. "It's not far. Ji doesn't mind if anyone wants to see."
'I feel that there is something strange about Ji Lan's attitude,' Xiao Yan thought. 'He is indeed mysterious and unpredictable, but...' Somehow, Ji Lan's atmosphere is not too cold?'
Without wasting any time, El stepped out. As soon as he reached the mouth of the cave. Since the cave was on a cliff, it could be said that it was a bit high from the lower ground, El jumped down to the river or lake near the waterfall.
The jump was so graceful, it was as if his body was floating in the air, before finally landing on the surface of the water without sinking a bit.
Under the dark night sky, filled with twinkling stars, El stood on the surface of the water gracefully, accompanied by the sound of insects in the forest.
White Fire, a sword with a white blade tinged with red taken from Sky Pearl Poison, was in his grasp, emitting a soft yet sharp light.
