Chapter 210 GIGABYTE's Way of Survival: Crazy Cultivation
Li Zhe understood that he was now in Universe 1.

We still need to deal with this calmly...

Damn it, why bother dealing with it calmly?

This situation made Li Zhe want to smash his computer!

Li Zhe felt that his CPU—no, his skull—was undergoing an unprecedented overclocking and cooling process, with the fan speed so fast it could whip up a category 12 typhoon.

It took him a full half hour to barely digest this world-building setting, which was enough to give any science fiction writer or fantasy author a stroke on the spot.

Song Yuan... Liu Yi...

Those two mysterious figures in the "newbie village server," one aloof and the other a master of suspense with their riddles...

It's actually the creator god, the ancestor of the Dao, and the game master of this world?!
This is a million times more outrageous than a truck driver reincarnated into another world only to find his wife is a demon lord!
"Officer, please calm down."

In Li Zhe's mind, the extremely faint sound of Zero, like the crackling of an old radio with a faulty connection, echoed.

It seems that the core of the AI ​​system was also significantly impacted in order to help him break through the cycle of illusions.

It can finally be put to use now, but it is still in a repair state of energy-saving hibernation.

[System...data...incorrect...suggestion...stay...]

"I see."

They come, the security.

Complaining and shock will not solve anything.

Now I'm all alone. My AI and my two ship spirit wives are all offline, and my muscle armor is only in muscle mode and can't be armed.

The most urgent task is to further understand the situation and find ways to become stronger.

The good news is that the concentration of "spiritual energy" in this world is ridiculously high. It's as if the air is filled with the aroma of energy supplements, and you can feel your body energy slowly recovering and becoming stronger just by breathing.

The bad news is that the "monsters" of this world are no longer those iron lumps and soft mud monsters that can be reasoned with by fists, but a group of immortal cultivators who can fly on swords, conjure colorful spells, and constantly say "Fellow Daoist, please wait."

A head-on confrontation is definitely the worst possible strategy.

Given my current state, encountering someone in the Foundation Establishment stage...

It'll probably be cut up as a rare "body-refining material".

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do; the main strategy is to develop stealthily."

Li Zhe formulated his core strategic guidelines for the next three years.

That's right, three years.

For the next three years, all he had to do was lie low.

Like a true cunning old fox, he silently extended his tentacles deeper into every corner of this sect!
Thus, in the days that followed, the outer disciples of the Azure Phoenix Sect witnessed a "muscle legend" filled with legend and mystery.

They discovered that Li Zhe, the "chaotic waste spiritual root" servant who had barely managed to get in by relying on his "money power," was simply a monster.

He would get up before dawn every day, carrying two wooden buckets bigger than water vats, and run back and forth between the waterfall behind the mountain and the medicinal herb garden, as fast as the wind.

Even his senior brothers, who were renowned for their inner sect movement techniques, were ashamed of their own inferiority.

He single-handedly did all the odd jobs in the entire medicinal garden, and he did them quickly and well.

The spiritual herbs that he watered grew much better than those elsewhere.

It seemed as if it had been infused with some mysterious life energy.

In his spare time, he did not interact with other disciples and always kept to himself.

Some people sit alone on a mountaintop, gazing at the sea of ​​clouds, and can sit there for an entire day, like an old monk in deep meditation.

Or they would burrow into the library, like a dry sponge, frantically absorbing the most basic and tedious cultivation classics.

Gradually, rumors about him began to circulate among the outer sect members.

Some say he was actually a direct disciple of a reclusive body-refining sect. He came to the Azure Phoenix Sect simply to experience life and temper his heart in the mortal world.

Some say he possesses the bloodline of an ancient ferocious beast and is born with divine strength.

The so-called "chaotic spiritual root" is nothing more than a disguise used to deceive people.

Some of the young female disciples even secretly gossiped that his muscular physique and increasingly attractive face were the perfect template for their dream partner.

Li Zhe didn't bother to pay attention to these rumors.

He was like a highly efficient "learning machine," frantically analyzing the rules of this world.

He discovered that his armored body was practically a "Dao Body" tailor-made for this world.

Those cultivation techniques that seem incredibly difficult to ordinary cultivators are almost without any bottlenecks under the deduction of his brain, which is comparable to a quantum computer.

The Qi Refining Technique? Three days to complete.

The Fundamentals of the Five Elements? Master it in a week.

He even secretly "borrowed" the more profound sword techniques and spells that only inner disciples could access, and after reading them a few times, he was able to master them without a teacher. He could even apply what he learned to other situations and deduce even more ingenious variations.

Meanwhile, the energy within his body, through constant interaction and transformation with the "spiritual energy" of this world, underwent a wondrous qualitative change.

It has become more refined, more dynamic, and more...

Do whatever you want.

He can even mimic the fluctuations of spiritual energy of various different attributes.

He perfectly concealed his true strength under the disguise of being at the "first level of Qi Refining".

Of course, Li Zhe's "learning" was not without its challenges.

The biggest problem is...

poor.

Cultivating immortality, in the final analysis, is a resource competition of "wealth, companions, methods, and land".

Although Li Zhe possesses extraordinary talent, his status as an "outer sect servant" means that he can only receive a pitiful three low-grade spirit stones each month, not even enough to buy a bottle of the worst "Qi Gathering Powder".

As for those "heavenly treasures" that can accelerate cultivation, don't even think about them.

"I still need to find a way to do some side hustles."

Li Zhe looked at his empty storage bag and couldn't help but sigh.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared furtively in front of his thatched hut.

"Brother Li... Brother Li!"

It was Han Li, with dark skin, plain looks, yet exuding an indomitable and ruthless spirit.

At this moment, he had a slightly ingratiating smile on his face and was carrying a food box in his hand.

“Brother Li, I…I just came back from the market town at the foot of the mountain. I brought you some of 'Baixianglou's' signature spirit wine and braised beef.”

Li Zhe looked at him and understood.

Ever since I "sponsored" him, this guy has been coming to my place every few days to "fawn over me".

Although Li Zhe was fully aware of his little scheme, he couldn't very well retaliate against the smiling man.

Moreover, the spirit wine and braised beef that this guy brought were indeed quite delicious.

Compared to those fasting pills that are as hard as iron, this is simply a delicacy.

"What's up?" Li Zhe took the food box and asked casually.
