Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 24 An unusual spiritual root, different from ordinary people?

Lin Chen held the spirit stone in his hand and sat cross-legged.

The Evergreen Technique was activated.

Wisps of spiritual energy surged from the spirit stone, flowing into the body through the palm and circulating throughout the meridians.

Half an hour later, Lin Chen successfully circulated the Evergreen Technique for one small cycle.

He opened his eyes, a surge of joy filling his heart.

"As expected, I can also improve my cultivation level on Blue Star with the help of spirit stones!"

Lin Chen carefully sensed it and found that the spiritual energy in his dantian had indeed increased.

This means he is capable of cultivating on Earth!

This is very good news for Lin Chen.

In the world of cultivation, he found that practicing breathing techniques was twice as effective, primarily for improving his martial arts realm.

On Blue Star, although there is no spiritual energy, he can use spirit stones to cultivate and improve his immortal cultivation level!

This means he has twice the cultivation speed; while others can cultivate for seven days, he can cultivate for fourteen days!

Even though Lin Chen cultivates both immortal and martial arts, his progress is not slow at all.

Lin Chen looked at the spirit stone in his hand thoughtfully.

Spirit stones are different from spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy in the world has different attributes, and cultivators need to separate the spiritual energy corresponding to their spiritual roots in order to improve their cultivation.

However, the spiritual energy in spirit stones is attribute-free and can be directly absorbed by cultivators to enhance their cultivation level.

In this way, using spirit stones to improve cultivation is much faster than directly absorbing spiritual energy.

"The only downside is that using spirit stones for cultivation will likely be quite expensive..."

Lin Chen sighed. Fortunately, he still had over a hundred spirit stones, enough for his cultivation needs for the next period of time.

One night of practice.

……

The next morning, Lin Chen frowned slightly when he saw the spirit stone in his hand turned to dust.

"He exhausted an entire spirit stone in just one night of cultivation?"

"This energy expenditure...something's not right!"

As far as he knew, one spirit stone could sustain a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining for ten days.

But for him, why is it only enough for one night of cultivation?

"Huh, the spiritual energy in my dantian..."

Just as Lin Chen was wondering what was going on, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the spiritual energy in his dantian had become much more abundant.

Even the amount of spiritual energy he could mobilize had greatly increased.

"This doesn't seem like the cultivation level of someone who has just entered the first stage of Qi Refining!"

"Hiss... At this rate, I'll probably advance to the second level of Qi Refining in less than a week!"

Lin Chen was dumbfounded.

He broke through to the second level of Qi Refining in just one week!

Even with the help of spirit stones, this is still too unbelievable...

"My cultivation speed... doesn't seem like that of someone with dual spiritual roots!"

"Even for a cultivator with a true spiritual root, it would take at least half a month to reach the second level of Qi Refining, right?"

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised; his spiritual root... seemed to be somewhat different from ordinary people?

However, Lin Chen knew very little about the cultivation world and was not yet clear about what kind of spiritual root he possessed.

The only certainty at present is that it is not a common dual-elemental root of earth and wood.

"However, while the cultivation speed is fast enough, the expenses are also considerable!"

Lin Chen felt somewhat helpless.

One spirit stone is required daily for each level of Qi Refining cultivation.

Wouldn't it be even more exaggerated once you reach the second level of Qi Refining, or even higher?

At this rate of cultivation, even if he were a disciple of the peak master, he would still be far from having enough spirit stones...

"It seems that next time I go to the cultivation world, I'll have to start learning the art of weapon crafting."

"You don't need to be an expert in weapon crafting; you just need to provide a reasonable explanation for the weapons shipped over from the Great Xia Kingdom..."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

……

At noon, Lin Chen brought a lunchbox made by his aunt to visit Lin An'an at the hospital.

"Brother~"

When Lin An'an saw him, she called out to him in a coquettish tone.

Lin Chen smiled and handed over the lunchbox his aunt had prepared.

Compared to a few days ago, An'an's complexion is noticeably better.

It was clear that the provision of nutrient solution during this period had greatly improved Lin An'an's physical condition.

"Brother, can I not eat these... I want to eat hamburgers and fried chicken!"

Lin An'an looked at the white porridge, vegetables, and eggs in the lunchbox, frowned, and said coquettishly.

"No, you're still in the hospital! I'll take you out to eat once you're better!"

Lin Chen shook his head and refused.

As he spoke, he took out a Marrow Cleansing Pill.

"An'an, take this medicine; it will help with your illness!"

Without hesitation, Lin An'an ate the Marrow Cleansing Pill like candy, and then began to sip her porridge.

Lin Chen felt a pang of heartache watching her eat.

Although her complexion has improved somewhat, the illness she suffered a few years ago has left An'an extremely thin.

"The Marrow Cleansing Pill cleanses the marrow and removes impurities, gradually improving the body's constitution. It should be useful for An'an..."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

In addition to supplying himself with the Marrow Cleansing Pills, he also had to prepare a batch of Marrow Cleansing Pills for An'an.

After spending some more time with Lin An'an in the ward, Lin Chen followed Li Nian to the training room.

In addition to improving his martial arts skills, he also needs to learn martial arts techniques from Li Nian and Lin Jianhe.

Li Nian was somewhat surprised after learning about the Lin Family Three Swords that Lin Chen had learned.

Even by his standards, this martial art was considered excellent.

The "Shaking Blade" move, in particular, represents a high-level application of martial arts techniques by a martial artist.

Li Nian thought that the Lin Family Three Swords were very suitable for the beginner Lin Chen, so he did not teach him any other martial arts techniques.

The purpose was simply to let Lin Chen practice more so that he could master the Lin Family Three Swords as soon as possible.

Two days later...

Until the fourth night after returning to Earth.

After practicing martial arts all day, Lin Chen dragged his tired body home.

……

After closing the door, Lin Chen took out a Marrow Cleansing Pill.

"Seven days have passed, the erysipelas in my body has been cleared, it's time to take another Marrow Cleansing Pill..."

For Lin Chen, who can travel between two worlds, a week is enough time for an ordinary person to take two Marrow Cleansing Pills!

After the Marrow Cleansing Pill entered his stomach, Lin Chen felt a warm current flowing through his body once again.

After an hour of cultivation, Lin Chen once again felt an improvement in his physical fitness.

Qi and Blood Value - 24 points!

In addition to the 2-point increase in Qi and Blood value brought by the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Lin Chen also took some time to eat a Qi and Blood Pill, which increased his Qi and Blood value by one point.

There are only 6 health points left to reach the 30 health points required to become an advanced martial artist.

Lin Chen estimated that after returning to the cultivation world for a few more days of cultivation, it would be about time.

"The speed at which I'm improving in martial arts is astonishing!"

Even Lin Chen couldn't help but be surprised at this moment.

It took less than half a month for him to go from a martial arts apprentice to an intermediate martial artist on Blue Star.

Of course, for Lin Chen, it took about a month.

Even so, the speed is astonishing.

Of course, besides the help brought by crossing the two worlds, it is also inseparable from Lin Chen's own talent and hard work.

As night deepened, Lin Chen did not go to sleep, but continued his Qi cultivation.

Lin Chen has consumed several spirit stones in the past few days, and his progress towards the second level of Qi Refining is nearly halfway complete.

……

Two days later.

After getting up, Lin Chen glanced at the countdown on his left arm—

46:57.

Today is the sixth day since I returned to Earth, and I will be traveling again in less than 48 hours.

Just now, Wang Xinyu informed him that the country had convened another meeting to discuss the exploration of the cultivation world.

So, under Li Nian's escort, Lin Chen went to the military region again.

at the same time……

Martial Arts Palace, the highest conference room of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Wang Lishan stood on the conference stage, displaying the items Lin Chen had brought from the cultivation world.

A dozen or so martial artists with unfathomable auras sat below the stage, while some high-ranking officials were unable to attend in person and were holding a remote meeting via communication devices.

"Everyone, I feel that the country is not paying enough attention to Lin Chen or even the cultivation world!"

"Facts have proven that the cultivation world has an unimaginable and enormous impact on the martial arts of our entire Great Xia Kingdom..."

Wang Lishan spoke with a resounding voice, then took out another pill and said:

"This pill is called the Marrow Cleansing Pill... According to research by the Martial Arts Research Institute, this pill possesses the miraculous effect of enhancing martial arts potential!"

"According to research, ordinary martial artists with average talent can potentially increase their cultivation level by one to two realms after repeatedly taking Marrow Cleansing Pills..."

"For example, a martial artist's potential ceiling might originally be Martial Master... After taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill multiple times, they might have the potential to grow into a Grand Martial Master or even a Martial General!"

Upon hearing Wang Lishan's words, the assembled bigwigs in the conference room were instantly thrown into an uproar...
