Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 8 Meeting
In the deep mountains east of Beixin Town, Fang Jun sat cross-legged with a faint spiritual light surrounding his body. He was slowly practicing his skills to recover his consumed magic power.

The previous battle seemed evenly matched, but in fact, Fang Jun was about to fall into a disadvantage.

If not, he wouldn't have chosen to retreat, let alone kill Yang Yuwan when he turned back. The reason was simple—he could no longer suppress the Fang family's formation.

With the support of his two life-saving magic treasures, Fang Jun's magic power is equivalent to that of a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

However, Fang Tianxiong's own cultivation level has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and coupled with his natal magic weapon which is equivalent to the seventh level of Qi Refining, his actual magic power is equivalent to the sixteenth level of Qi Refining.

The reason why Fang Jun was able to compete with Fang Tianxiong was first of all due to his single output reaching 14.1 strands of mana.

"Thread" is the unit used to define the amount of mana in this world. According to Fang Jun's measurement, the energy contained in 1 thread of mana is 3689 joules.

This "joule" was measured and defined by Fang Jun based on the physical concepts of his previous life, and is consistent with the standards of his previous life.

Generally speaking, for a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining who practices low-grade ordinary skills, the single output is 1 strand of magic power, for a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining it is 2 strands, and so on.

In other words, a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining who practices low-grade ordinary skills can output 10 strands at a time, and a cultivator at the sixteenth level can output 16 strands at a time.

Fang Jun was able to surpass this level because the "Five Elements Kung Fu" he practiced had been optimized to the upper level of the mortal level.

As the head of the Fang family, Fang Tianxiong practices a mid-level ordinary martial arts technique, and his single output is at least 20 strands.

Therefore, during the battle, Fang Jun also calculated the optimal combat strategy with the assistance of Yuanshen No. 1, which enabled him to defeat the strong with the weak and compete with Fang Tianxiong.

This was not enough. More importantly, Fang Jun used Yuanshen No. 1 to calculate the nodes of the Fang family's formation and successfully interfered with the operation of the formation.

It makes it impossible to start, creating a fair fighting space.

However, this does not change one problem - that is, it is impossible to permanently interfere with the formation.

Seeing that he could not win quickly, he could only choose to conserve his magic power and evacuate quickly.

After this battle, Fang Jun also had a clear understanding of his own combat power. He could basically compete with the Fang family's patriarch, a cultivator at the sixteenth level of Qi Refining.

However, if you face a sect disciple, that’s another matter.

After all, the Taoist disciples of the legendary Immortal Sect could refine their own magical treasures even before entering the Qi Refining Stage, which was completely different from Fang Jun.

But Fang Jun was not discouraged.

He knew full well that people learned the Dao at different times, and that the path of cultivation was long and arduous. He believed that as long as he continued to work hard and improve his strength, he would eventually catch up with or even surpass those disciples of the immortal sects.

"Fang Tianxiong, I was no match for you this time, but I have collected your data and information. In the next battle, there will be no variables, and that will be when you lose."

Fang Jun muttered to himself, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

During this battle, he also discovered many of his own omissions.

It's clearly possible to do better, but I just can't. This is the difference between theory and practice.

"Just like the design of fighter jets in previous lives, theory alone is not enough; wind tunnel experiments are also needed to verify it."

Fang Jun sighed inwardly. The same is true for the path of cultivation. Theoretical deduction alone is not enough; it must be constantly adjusted and optimized through actual combat.

He closed his eyes, immersed his mind in his body, and began to review every detail of the battle.

"Soul One, retrieve the combat data and analyze the mana consumption curve and the three-dimensional combat space distribution diagram."

Fang Jun's spiritual consciousness was constantly interacting with Yuanshen No. 1.

"Analysis in progress... Combat data has been entered, mana consumption curve is being generated... The three-dimensional battle space distribution map is being generated..."

Yuanshen No. 1 itself has no intelligence. The words it speaks are designed by Fang Jun, and the algorithm is also designed by Fang Jun. It only provides computing power to assist Fang Jun in speeding up the optimization of the algorithm.

Fang Jun carefully looked at the data and analysis results provided by Yuanshen No. 1, and frowned slightly.

"There was an abnormal fluctuation in mana consumption during the 37th move, which led to a decrease in subsequent explosive power... This is because the mana connection between me and the Tianjun Sword was slightly interrupted during that move, resulting in insufficient mana." Fang Jun said to himself and recorded this in the database of Yuanshen No. 1.

"Also, the movement during combat can be further optimized to reduce unnecessary mana consumption."

He continued to analyze, constantly simulating the improved fighting methods in his mind and optimizing the fighting algorithms.

……

Time passed little by little, Fang Jun immersed himself in the ocean of data, constantly adjusting his skills and combat algorithms.

At the same time, a serious meeting was taking place in the Fang family's ancestral hall.

"Master, what are you thinking about! Call Fang Jun back quickly!" an old man said anxiously.

"Yes, Fang Jun's talent is enough to join the upper sect. As long as he succeeds, who knows how much benefit he can bring to the family." Another old man echoed.

Fang Tianxiong sat at the top, expressionless, as if lost in thought.

But Fang Ming could no longer bear it: "Fang Jun, that bastard, a matricide and a father rebel, how could he be qualified to join the upper sect!"

As soon as these words fell, silence fell in the ancestral hall.

Another old man sneered and said, "Just relying on his talent, or relying on your three spiritual roots?"

As soon as these words were spoken, laughter broke out in the ancestral hall.

Fang Ming's face flushed red. "So what if he has three spiritual roots? That bastard also has three spiritual roots! And now my cultivation is also at the third level of Qi Refining! Fang Jun only reached the third level of Qi Refining at the age of twenty!"

The old man said: "But you, with three spiritual roots, can't refine your life magic weapon at the third level of Qi Refining, even..."

He glanced at Fang Tianxiong on the stage, and seeing that his expression remained unchanged, he continued, "I don't know how much of the clan's resources you have spent to reach the third level of Qi Refining, while Fang Jun is adrift outside, without anyone to rely on."

Fang Ming gritted his teeth and said, "This is what I deserve. According to etiquette, I am the eldest son."

Laughter was heard again in the ancestral hall.

At this time, Fang Tianxiong finally spoke: "Enough! Fang Jun will die, there is nothing to say. I have asked the people from the Guantian Palace to come and divine Fang Jun's location. He won't live much longer."

An elder of the clan exclaimed in surprise: "Master!"

Fang Tianxiong said coldly: "No need to say more. Our Fang family governs the family according to etiquette and law. We will never let such a person who kills his mother and resists his father live. Or in other words..."

He glanced at the elders and asked, "Do you want to resist me?"

The reason why Fang Tianxiong could become the head of the family was naturally not because of the etiquette he mentioned, but because of his strength - he was the only one in the Fang family who had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and had refined his own spiritual treasure.

This is also the basis for the Fang family to occupy the spiritual veins in the world of immortal cultivation.

"Remember, as long as I'm still the head of the Fang family, don't even think about resisting me. I'll let go of your previous obstruction of my ability to activate the formation, but if you dare to obstruct me again, I'll kill you without mercy!"

After Fang Tianxiong said this, there was no more objection in the ancestral hall.
