Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 28 Qi Refining Level Two: Preparations Before Transmigration!

Inside a rest room at the Martial Arts Palace.

Lin Chen sat cross-legged, holding a spirit stone in his hand, and continuously circulated the Evergreen Technique.

As spiritual energy was continuously absorbed into his body, the spirit stone in his hand shrank continuously until it finally turned into dust.

As the spiritual energy within his dantian became increasingly abundant, Lin Chen's aura also began to rise steadily.

Until a certain moment, Lin Chen quietly opened his eyes and said with a hint of joy:

"Finally reached the second level of Qi Refining!"

He slowly got up and carefully sensed the changes in his body.

Compared to when he first entered the first level of Qi Refining, the magical power in his dantian had increased by several times.

Lin Chen lowered his mind and tried to use his inner soul to observe.

"Hmm, my inner vision seems clearer now; I can even sense the subtle changes in my meridians and blood circulation..."

Lin Chen's face lit up with even greater joy.

Unlike martial artists who focus on physical training, immortal cultivation is clearly a dual cultivation of qi and soul.

As one's cultivation level increases, one's true essence and magical power become more abundant, and one's spiritual power is also enhanced!

"Not bad. With your Qi Refining Level 2 magic power, you're almost ready to learn the art of manipulating spiritual energy!"

Lin Chen's heart stirred, and his true essence left his body, flying towards the vase a meter away.

As the true essence enveloped it, the vase slowly rose and floated in the air.

But after only a few breaths, he felt that about 10% of his magical power had been depleted.

As my mind relaxed slightly...

Boom!

With a crisp sound, the exquisitely crafted vase shattered on the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Chen blinked and said with a hint of regret:

"At the second level of Qi Refining, one can control objects by releasing spiritual energy from the body... Unfortunately, one has not yet learned the art of controlling artifacts, and the skill in controlling objects is still insufficient..."

He picked up the broken vase and then pondered carefully about his future path of cultivation.

"In just one week, he has reached the second level of Qi Refining..."

"At this rate, he might reach the third level of Qi Refining within half a month!"

"But this is based on consuming a lot of spirit stones... Tsk tsk, consuming a whole spirit stone for cultivation every day is too extravagant. I'm afraid only cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining can afford it."

He did a quick calculation and found that he still had about eighty spirit stones, which was not a small amount.

But if he only gives out and doesn't receive, it probably won't be able to sustain his cultivation for long.

"Moreover, cultivating immortality is different from martial arts. Without magical treasures or spells to rely on, one is like a paper tiger."

"It's time to put this method of protection on the agenda!"

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then glanced at the Qi and Blood value on his wristwatch.

—26 points!

This week, practicing breathing techniques has slightly increased my Qi and blood levels, and my recent advancement to the second level of Qi Refining has also contributed to a slight increase.

"As expected, although cultivators don't emphasize physical training, their physique naturally strengthens as their cultivation level increases!"

"This is a good thing for me. While my cultivation level improves, my martial arts realm won't fall too far behind..."

"I have already mastered the basic slashing and thrusting techniques of the Lin family's three swords, but I still have some difficulty with the way of wielding the sword."

Lin Chen roughly estimated his own strength.

Compared to when he left the cultivation world last time, his strength has probably more than doubled.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the countdown on his arm.

— 7:36.

"I'll be back in the cultivation world in seven and a half hours... Although I've been on Earth for seven days, time seems to stand still in the cultivation world."

"In this way... my improvement in cultivation seems rather abrupt..."

Lin Chen frowned slightly.

To advance from the first level of Qi Refining to the second level in a week is the mark of a genius.

But if someone could instantly advance from the first level of Qi Refining to the second level, they would probably be treated as a monster and studied!

The cultivation world is different from Earth; to the cultivation world, he is, after all, a "person from another world"!

"It seems I need to learn the art of concealing my breath as soon as I return to the cultivation world..."

Lin Chen murmured.

Ding Ding!

Just then, a message came through his watch.

It was Wang Xinyu who called him to the "Time and Space Room".

The Time-Space Room was a room specially prepared for Lin Chen by the Martial Arts Palace, with the purpose of facilitating his time travel.

Leaving the lounge and walking through a long corridor, you arrive at the Time-Space Room.

When Lin Chen arrived at the time-space chamber, Wang Xinyu and several core researchers had already arrived.

In addition, Wang Lishan was also present.

"Xiao Chen, you're here!"

Wang Xinyu quickly walked up to Lin Chen and handed him two items.

A long sword and a vintage-style watch.

"Try this long sword first and see if it suits your hand..." Wang Xinyu said.

Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this and picked up the long sword.

As soon as he held the longsword, he felt a chill.

"This knife was forged from the cold iron stone I brought back?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

Wang Xinyu nodded and said:

"That's right, you'll naturally be the first to enjoy this sword forged from cold iron stone."

"This sword has reached the quality of a second-tier rare treasure, which is perfect for you!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen put the longsword into his nanobag.

After learning the Lin family's three sword techniques, he did indeed need a suitable sword.

The second-tier rare treasure longsword is enough for him to use until he reaches the Martial Master realm.

"And this watch is the latest creation from our research institute."

"Utilizing nano-batteries, it's lightweight and sturdy, and in addition to its basic functions, it also comes with a camera... If you could use it to capture some scenes from the world of cultivation, that would be perfect!"

Wang Xinyu handed the watch to Lin Chen and said:

"Of course, the most important thing is that this watch is very discreet; it looks like a bracelet and is not easy to spot."

Lin Chen was secretly pleased upon hearing this and replaced the watch with the new one.

The previous Qi and Blood Watch inevitably had some technological features, unlike products from the cultivation world, so Lin Chen needed to hide it in his wide sleeve.

With this new type of watch, there is no risk of being exposed if other cultivators see it.

"That's right, this watch is exactly what I need!" Lin Chen nodded.

At this moment, Wang Lishan also walked over and said with a smile:

"Lin Chen, your special funding has been approved, but it will take some time for the research institute to develop suitable equipment and weapons for you."

"Your time travel won't be of much help this time. Are you alright on your end?"

Lin Chen shook his head and said:

"It's okay, I'm relatively safe right now... Besides, given my situation, it wouldn't be easy to store too much stuff if I brought it over."

After hearing this, Wang Lishan patted Lin Chen on the shoulder and said:

"Besides the mission to explore the world of cultivation, I have another task for you."

"Are you confident you can break through to the Samurai level within a month?"

After listening for a moment, Lin Chen realized that the "one month" Wang Lishan mentioned must be the time on Blue Star, while for him... it was two months!

With his current progress in martial arts, reaching the Warrior realm in two months is not difficult.

But Lin Chen still asked with doubt:

"Uncle Wang, is there something you need to help me break through my cultivation level so quickly?"

After hearing this, Wang Lishan said meaningfully:

"Don't worry, it's a good thing!"

"I've made a deal with an old guy: if you reach the Samurai realm within a month, you'll be ranked among the top 100 in the Sequence Project!"

"At that time... I'll be able to use my privileges to get that thing for you!"

That thing?

Lin Chen's expression of doubt deepened.

Seeing this, Wang Lishan decided not to keep them in suspense any longer and said:

"It's a special remnant of a martial spirit..."

"With the Martial Spirit's remains, your safety in the cultivation world will be greatly guaranteed!"
