Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 1: Soul! Start!
"Spirit! Start!"

A massive mechanical device awoke in the room, its blazing white indicator lights flickering and fans roaring. A handsome young man sat cross-legged before the machine.

"Yuan Shen No. 1 computer starts..."

"Connecting to the administrator's consciousness..."

"Connection successful..."

"Analyze the flow of mana through the meridians..."

"Analysis completed..."

"Please mobilize your mana to rotate at the Dantian coordinates (3689, 1689, 56)..."

Dense information interacted between the computer and Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness, quickly solving the difficulties in cultivation and driving his cultivation to rapid improvement.

"Just as I estimated, the computer has increased the utilization rate of spiritual energy by 25%."

Joy emerged in Fang Jun's heart.

In this world of cultivating immortals, generally speaking, the spiritual energy utilization rate of cultivators is: 100% for single spiritual roots, 50% for double spiritual roots, 20% for triple spiritual roots, 5% for quadruple spiritual roots, and only 1% for quadruple spiritual roots.

Therefore, the four spiritual roots and five spiritual roots are called "pseudo spiritual roots" and are almost impossible to build a foundation.

Because during the entire cultivation process, the environment of the meridians and dantian is completely dynamic, it is different at every moment and requires real-time calculation.

A single spiritual root only absorbs one type of spiritual energy and only needs to process the variables of one type of spiritual energy.

The five spiritual roots absorb five kinds of spiritual energy, so they need to deal with the variables of the five kinds of spiritual energy.

Real-time calculation means that the processing time is limited.

If you don't get the answer within the limited time, you won't be able to practice according to the correct steps.

This way, you will just waste your spiritual energy in vain and gain nothing.

This is the fundamental reason why the utilization rate of the spiritual energy of the five spiritual roots is low.

It’s like everyone has the same college entrance examination paper, but those with a single spiritual root are tested on 1+1, while those with five spiritual roots are tested on advanced mathematics. It’s not fair at all.

Even if Fang Jun used mathematical tools to mathematize the process of practicing the exercises, convert it into an algorithm, and then optimize the algorithm.

The brain's hardware is also unable to support fast calculations, causing the utilization rate of spiritual energy to be stuck at 25%.

However, just because the human brain isn’t working properly doesn’t mean we can’t seek help from external sources.

After Fang Jun created the Yuanshen No. 1 computer, the utilization rate of spiritual energy was instantly pushed to 50%.

The reason why it is not 100% yet is because the issue of the five spiritual energies is too complicated, and the exercises themselves cannot handle all the issues of the five spiritual energies.

Fang Jun couldn't come up with an algorithm, so no matter how fast the computer ran, it couldn't handle it.

"But a 50% utilization rate is already the standard for dual spiritual roots. Aside from the difference in cultivation techniques, I am already a dual spiritual root cultivator!"

"There is hope for building a foundation in this life! There is hope for immortality!"

Fang Jun suppressed his thoughts and focused on practicing, aiming to reach the third level of Qi training.

……

The next morning, Fang Jun walked out of the room and met the skinny old man Li.

"Good morning, Fellow Daoist Fang."

"Fellow Daoist Li, hello to you too."

Old man Li laughed and was about to say something when his eyes suddenly fixed and he asked in surprise, "You've reached the third level of Qi Refining?"

The meridians of monks are circulated by magic power on a daily basis, which serves as both protection and maintenance.

However, the stability of magic power outside the Dantian decreases and it will radiate various electromagnetic waves.

In a cultivator's consciousness, this is known as the "mana aura." The strength of this aura can be used to roughly gauge a cultivator's level of cultivation.

Fang Jun smiled faintly and said calmly, "Lucky, lucky, I got a little understanding yesterday."

Old man Li sighed, "The young are truly formidable! I'm already in my seventies, and I'm only at the third level of Qi Refining. This is the fate of someone with four spiritual roots."

Fang Jun: "..." Fang Jun didn't know what to say about this topic.

Is it to comfort him by saying that he has five spiritual roots, so that he won't be discouraged and that there is still hope for future progress?

Doesn't this expose the fact that he is pretending to be a person with three spiritual roots?
Fang Jun changed the subject and said, "Damn Dahe Sect, they've increased the amount of spiritual pattern steel they require as tribute by 20% this year. Isn't this going to kill us?"

Hearing this, Old Man Li sighed, "Yes, I'll spend 20% more time on ironwork every day, which means less time for cultivation. And most importantly, the wages won't change. I'm old, and I'm probably going to die here this year."

As Qi-refining cultivators, Fang Jun and Old Man Li worked at Zhuge Blacksmith Shop to earn resources for their cultivation.

There is no way to deal with this. Cultivators cultivate wealth, companions, methods and land, where land refers to the spiritual veins.

All the spiritual veins in the world have owners, and if you want to practice, you have to pay the money to rent a house.

If a cultivator is unable to pay, he will be driven out of the spiritual vein location and forced to live in a place with a thin spiritual vein, thus cutting off his path to advancement.

Therefore, this job has to be done.

The two men arrived at the blacksmith shop, and before work began, the fat shopkeeper Zhuge Juchen summoned all the employees.

"Starting today, the tribute of spiritual pattern steel to Dahe Sect will be increased to 50%."

Zhuge Chen's voice was calm, but it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

One cultivator couldn't help but say, "Boss, it was already 20% before, and now it's increased by 50%. If this continues, how will we have time to practice?"

Zhuge Chen said calmly, "It's not 20% and then 50%, but the initial 50%."

Another cultivator complained, "Even so, there's not enough time for cultivation."

Monks work part-time to earn resources for cultivation. If the resources earned are insufficient to compensate for the losses incurred in cultivation, then this is putting the cart before the horse.

Zhuge Chen explained: "Starting today, the monthly salary will increase by 30%."

A cultivator murmured, "Thirty percent is too little."

Zhuge Chen glanced around and said calmly, "Thirty percent is already a lot. The Dahe Sect only gave you an extra twenty percent of resources, and the remaining ten percent is a subsidy from my shop's profits."

"If we open more stores, we won't be able to make ends meet and everyone will be left with nothing."

When everyone heard this, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all said in unison: "Shopkeeper Gaoyi."

At this time, Zhuge Chen looked at Fang Jun, his tone calm but unquestionable: "Fang Jun, your mission is not 50%, it is 100%."

"Of course, to compensate for your losses, I will also increase your wages to 60%."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Li immediately stood up to defend Fang Jun, saying, "Boss, this is totally unreasonable! 50% is still possible with some effort, but 100% would take a whole day of forging iron!"

Zhuge Chen said calmly, "So I gave him 60% of the wages."

Old Man Li said anxiously, "This is not a matter of wages, but he simply doesn't have time to practice!"

Zhuge Chen didn't care: "Just buy some pills."

Old Man Li wanted to argue, but Fang Jun sent a telepathic message: "Fellow Daoist Li, thank you for speaking up for me, but please don't offend the shopkeeper."

To be honest, although it is difficult to achieve 100%, Fang Jun still has a way to solve it.

But the problem is that this matter is not as simple as it seems. There must be deeper reasons why Zhuge Chen is targeting him.

This is what Fang Jun is worried about.

Old Man Li ignored Fang Jun and said directly to Zhuge Chen: "Shopkeeper, I can also be 100%, I can also eat pills, and the treatment is the same as Fellow Daoist Fang."

Fang Jun: “…”
