You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

late at night.

While flipping through the book "Travels in the Great Qi" in his hands, Lu Heng waited silently.

There is no clock in this world, or anything like that, just like seasonings, which he cannot access at his current level.

Therefore, having absolute control over time like in my previous life is out of the question, at least for now.

Fortunately, he no longer needs absolute control over time; he only needs to wait patiently.

I don't know how much time has passed.

As the panel refreshed, last night and today silently took turns.

"A new day?" Lu Heng yawned, opened his arms, and slowly stretched.

His eyes did not become unfocused due to waiting; on the contrary, they became even brighter and clearer.

[Evolution Point +0.3]

"Can I gain 0.1 evolution progress per training session?"

It's a little better than I expected.

However, it seems there's no way to achieve this before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lu Heng calmly thought that he was already prepared for this, and he didn't take it to heart.

………………

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Here you go." The servant in charge of distributing the low-grade spiritual food handed over a wooden box.

"Thank you," Lu Heng said softly, holding a book in his hand.

It wasn't some deliberate attempt to befriend them, but rather basic politeness cultivated in a previous life.

In essence, there is no difference between the branch family members and the servants of the main family in the Lu clan.

The reason why some servants were indifferent when the low-grade spiritual food was distributed for the first time was because...

This is because some of the branch families who came from better backgrounds and wore fine clothes actually treated the situation much worse.

They simply wouldn't intentionally offend the servants, but they genuinely looked down on them.

Having experienced this firsthand, Lu Heng could understand it.

"No need." The servant in charge of distributing the low-grade spiritual food glanced at Lu Heng with some surprise and made no comment.

………………

He casually swallowed his portion of low-grade spiritual food, which was actually just a fist-sized ball of spiritual rice.

Lu Heng went to another place and ordered a regular meal.

After observing and hearing about it over this period of time, he already knew that the low-grade spiritual food provided by the Lu family canteen was the simplest to make, directly using a kind of ordinary spiritual rice called "yellow jade".

It is inexpensive yet produces very good results.

While eating, Lu Heng didn't forget to flip through the book in his hand.

It was still the same book, "Travels in the Great Qi Dynasty," and three full days had passed since I borrowed it.

He spent all his time reading this book, except when he was practicing meditation, eating, or sleeping.

It wasn't that he didn't want to finish reading it quickly.

But there was another reason that left him extremely helpless—the writing system in this world was somewhat similar to that in his previous life.

However, in many cases, books are not written in plain language, but rather in obscure and difficult classical Chinese.

Therefore, even though he had a basic understanding of literacy in this life, Lu Heng still read books extremely slowly.

However, while reading the book, Lu Heng also learned a lot of useful and interesting information about this world.

For example, there are truly extraordinary and saintly cultivators in this world!

Lu Heng already knew this, but because he had just transmigrated, he still found it hard to believe.

However, while reading the book, I once again clearly recognized the extraordinary nature of cultivators.

Perhaps it is the existence of cultivators that allows this other world to remain in ancient times despite having a history of ten thousand years.

The Great Qi Dynasty, in which he lived, lasted for over 1,300 years, far exceeding any dynasty in his previous life.

The so-called dynastic cycle law of the previous life seems to have never existed.

Lu Heng was shocked when he learned this for the first time.

In addition, Lu Heng also learned that the state where Qinghe City was located was called Qingzhou, a coastal state, and only one of the dozen or so states under the rule of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Each state is larger than one might imagine.

They also knew that the continent where the Great Qi was located was not the only continent in this world.

To the west of the continent where the Great Qi Dynasty is located, there is a western continent where various states coexist, and there is no unified regime. They are all human, but many have different hair, eyes, and skin.

However, "Travels in the Great Qi" is somewhat colored by personal subjective emotions, using the term "barbarians" to refer to the Western continent of the past.

They described its customs as crude and violent, and its social order as broken.

Only in recent years, due to the rise of several powerful countries, has it gradually acquired the cloak of civilization, and its trade with the Great Qi Dynasty has gradually increased over time.

When Lu Heng was reading "Travels in the Great Qi Dynasty", he was overwhelmed by a strong sense of déjà vu.

History is full of surprising coincidences.

However, compared to his previous life, this world is completely different and has the biggest variable—cultivators.

According to Lu Heng's account in "Travels in the Great Qi", the highest level of cultivators in the East is called a Sage, and the highest level of cultivators in the West is called a God King.

Even in the Eastern classic "Travels in the Great Qi," no one dared to show the slightest disrespect to cultivators of the caliber of saints and god-kings; the words were filled with a deep-seated reverence.

However, due to the well-known reason that the connection between heaven and earth is severed, the divine power of the gods and the sacred deeds of the saints are not manifest in the world, and they have almost disappeared. The only saint in the world is the one who has manifested himself.

What does "unique" mean? It means that there is only one saint in the entire world who can display the power of a saint.

[Emperor by the Mandate of Heaven], [The Supreme Ruler Favored by Heaven], [The Holy Lord of the Purple Palace].

At the end of "Travels in the Great Qi", the author addressed the author with such respect.

………………

Holding "Travels in the Great Qi" in his arms, Lu Heng slowly walked out of the cafeteria.

Although one can cultivate three times a day, plus a serving of low-grade spiritual food, making a total of four times.

However, this includes the intermediate transition time.

Even a genius cannot practice four times at once; they can only practice intermittently with intervals.

After three days of adaptation, Lu Heng is now able to cultivate four times a day with difficulty.

Once in the morning, once at noon, and twice in the afternoon.

[Technique: Basic Body Refinement Method (Beginner Level 13/100)]

"I accumulated 12 proficiency points by practicing three times a day for the previous four days."

If all goes well, I should be able to complete the basic knowledge by day 26.

Lu Heng skillfully calculated in his mind.

Even though I had calculated it many times, I was still excited to think that I could complete the basics within a month.

An indescribable sense of security still rises in my heart.

Just as he was deep in thought, a hand patted his shoulder familiarly.

"Aheng, what are you thinking about?"

Lu Heng looked up and saw a handsome young man standing in front of him. Beside him stood another young man with a simple and honest appearance and a smile on his face.

Lu Jinnian, Lu Fengqing.

The names of two boys immediately came to mind.

These are friends he's met in the last few days, and they have a fairly good relationship.

Although he is now focused on spiritual cultivation, he does not reject basic social interaction. He will not give others a cold shoulder when they come up to chat.

They naturally became acquainted.
