Chapter 42: A New Qi Cultivation Entry!
Seven days was extremely short!
Many inner sect disciples who had reached the peak of the qi refinement stage were busy preparing to break through to the foundation establishment stage!
Once they successfully established their foundations, they would have a chance to stand out in the inner sect grand competition. They would then also be able to become a true elite disciple of the Divine Will Sect, a core disciple!
If they succeeded, they would be able to come into contact with more and better cultivation resources!
Everyone was working hard, and this allowed Li Ming to remain completely undisturbed during this period of time.
Inside the cave abode, after reaching the foundation establishment stage, Li Ming’s current thoughts were very simple. Eat, sleep, train!
Although he had already reached the foundation establishment stage, Li Ming still continued practicing the fundamentals of body tempering!
He was familiar with everything. Ever since he acquired the entry [Martial Dao Prodigy], his routine could be said to flow like water! It was as smooth as breathing.
In just one day, Li Ming could feel that his body had gotten stronger and more energetic!
“Looks like I can’t just neglect the basic skills of body tempering.”
The basic skills were the foundation of the martial dao, just like how qi refinement was to qi cultivation.
Next, Li Ming naturally began to put some effort into the aspect of qi cultivation!
Most of the resources obtained from the previous trials had been used by Li Ming in his martial dao foundation establishment.
However, he still had a bit left.
Now, with him being at the tenth level of qi refinement, he would have a chance to break through to the qi cultivation foundation establishment stage with just a bit more help!
However, most of the herbs that he had brought back from the trial were spiritual plants. These naturally could not be consumed directly. They had to first be refined by the elders in charge of refining pills in the sect.
Of course, the sect charged a fee for the refinement.
With what he currently had, Li Ming would have to pay one-third of his remaining resources to the sect before he could have the rest be refined.
The medicinal pills required for the qi refinement stage were not high-grade medicinal pills.
As such, the refinement process was very fast. In half a day, Li Ming had obtained the medicinal pill he needed, the Qi Raising Pill!
As the name suggested, the Qi Raising Pill could increase the absorption of qi by cultivators to an extent.
Furthermore, there were no side effects!
This was exactly what Li Ming needed.
Next, he headed to the scripture depository!
What Li Ming needed to do was to find some qi refinement techniques and study them. At the same time, he wanted to see if he could find acquire any entries related to qi cultivation!
The previous qi refinement entry greatly improved Li Ming’s talent in qi refinement.
But at the moment, he could only reach the tenth level of qi refinement at most!
If he wanted to advance further, especially to the qi cultivation foundation establishment stage, he needed a cultivation technique that could help him transition from qi refinement to foundation establishment!
Unlike in body refinement, in the qi cultivation foundation establishment stage, the spiritual qi needed to flow through the most vulnerable and fragile meridians of the human body and gather in the dantian so that those weak areas may be fortified.
When cultivators established their foundation, there was a large chance of dying! Not every person was able to just smoothly establish their foundation!
Not only did establishing one’s foundation test their talent, but also their luck!
At the same time, there were certain requirements for the required cultivation technique.
Each cultivation technique had a special circulation route. It was by circulating the spiritual qi they absorbed from the surroundings according to this special circulation route that qi cultivators were able to accomplish one cycle of cultivation.
Whether it was body refinement or qi cultivation, cultivation techniques were quite similar in this way.
The qi refinement technique that he had was clearly no longer enough.
And so, Li Ming crouched in the scripture depository.
Having achieved the martial dao foundation establishment stage, even the elder of the scripture depository looked at him in a new light.
After all, there had never been a martial dao foundation establishment cultivator in the Divine Will Sect.
Although Li Ming was nothing special in terms of his qi cultivation, he could still be considered to have created a legend in the sect!
Moreover, the elder of the scripture depository could tell at a glance that Li Ming’s qi refinement cultivation had already reached the tenth level!
Everyone in the Divine Will Sect, be it disciples or elders, unanimously agreed that if Li Ming had spent all his time and energy on qi cultivation in the past three years, he would have long since gotten to the foundation establishment stage!
And they even believed that, with his talent, it was very likely that he could have already reached the golden core stage!
However, only Li Ming knew the truth.
It was not that he did not want to cultivate qi, but his talent was indeed absolute trash in this regard.
Otherwise, he would not have used body refinement as a cover.
Fortunately, with the help of the entries, Li Ming’s reputation as a good-for-nothing had faded.
The scripture depository was divided into an outer layer and an inner layer.
The outer layer was for the outer and inner disciples. The inner layer was for the elite disciples of the sect, and only the core disciples were qualified to enter.
Even so, it was still beneficial for Li Ming to scan the outer layer.
Most scriptures in the outer layer were qi refinement techniques, and there was a dazzling array of colors of all kinds of qi refinement techniques.
Li Ming read through the books carefully and did his best not to miss anything.
His first priority was to choose one that was most suitable for him.
To be more specific, he was looking for a cultivation technique that delved into both body tempering and qi cultivation. However, it was apparent that it was not going to be easy to find such a scripture even with the vast array of scriptures in the depository.
After all, there had never been a case of dual cultivation in the sect!
At least, as far as Li Ming knew, he had never seen such a case among the cultivators he had come into contact with!
Unknowingly, Li Ming had spent an entire day looking through cultivation techniques!
The next afternoon, Li Ming looked through hundreds of cultivation techniques and found that many of them were similar. Some of them even had different names and authors!
It even seemed as if some were just copies of the other, just that the author was different!
Is this not blatant plagiarism?
It turns out that the big shots of cultivation also played such tricks!
After a whole day of reading, his efforts did not go unrewarded. Li Ming received a qi cultivation entry just as he wished! [Blue Entry: Spiritual Affinity!]
Blue entries were just beneath purple entries in value!
For Li Ming, it was absolutely amazing to have a blue entry related to qi cultivation!
It would be a tremendous help to his qi cultivation!
[Spiritual Affinity (Blue): Increases the quality of absorbed spiritual qi, and increases absorption rate by up to 100%.]
Heaven and earth spiritual qi, whether thin or dense, had its own advantages and disadvantages.
And this was related to his own talent!
Possessing this spiritual affinity would allow him to better communicate with the world and absorb spiritual qi that was more suitable to him! At the same time, the entry even increased his absorption rate by up to 100%!
In other words, this entry increased the quality of the spiritual qi he absorbed, while at the same time allowing him to absorb it much faster!
This wholly improved Li Ming’s qi cultivation talent!
As for a cultivation technique, Li Ming had finally found a good one.
“Ancient Spirit Mysterious Art? It’s incomplete?”
“It’s not bad for it to be able to last until the foundation establishment stage.”
Li Ming did not think too much about it. After reading through qi cultivation techniques for a whole day, he had already gotten quite the harvest.
With his photographic memory and the help of two qi cultivation entries, his talent in this aspect was no longer low.
The Ancient Spirit Mysterious Art was a cultivation technique that purely circulated spiritual qi. In fact, it was the same for cultivation techniques that needed one to circulate qi.
Different from body refinement, qi refinement was a lot purer.
With the cultivation technique in hand, Li Ming went to register it with the elder of the scripture depository.
“A qi refinement technique?”
“Li Ming, you’ve finally returned to the right path.
“This is good.”
“Attaining the martial dao foundation establishment stage is not bad, but that’s a path that no one takes. The path of qi cultivation is much brighter, so it’s good to cultivate qi. With your talent, the foundation establishment stage won’t be the end!”
When the elder saw that Li Ming wanted to borrow a qi cultivation technique, he was instantly moved.
Over the years, this kid had come to the scripture depository quite a number of times. Every time, he would look for cultivation techniques for body tempering. He did not even look at any cultivation technique for qi cultivation!
Now, he seemed to have finally gained interest in qi cultivation. If the other elders of the sect knew, they would definitely be very pleased!
