My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

As the saying goes, one fears both that one's brother is suffering and that one's brother is driving a Land Rover.

Gu Qing went from being an ordinary cannon fodder mercenary to a promising top ten new talent, which instantly broke He Lou's defenses, and he couldn't help but wail in front of Gu Qing.

Ha ha……

Seeing He Lou like this, Gu Qing patted him on the shoulder.

"Good brother, I'll protect you from now on."

"Hey, you said it yourself."

He Lou immediately changed to a carefree attitude and smiled at Gu Qing.

He seemed to have thought of something.

He Lou activated his Taixu Dharma Seal: "Gu Qing, now that you're a Qi Refining stage cultivator, you're also a second-class citizen. We haven't added each other as friends in the Spirit Realm yet, let's add each other quickly."

"Don't worry your father..."

"Um?!"

Seeing He Lou start to show off again, Gu Qing took out the Best Rookie Medal once more and said calmly, "Good brother, you probably don't understand your place."

"What did you call me?"

"I went through so much trouble to get this medal, what should you call me?"

"What's our relationship? Your sister's here, and you call me 'good brother,' I won't argue with that. But it's just the two of us here, so what do you call me?"

When Gu Qing took out the Best Rookie Medal, He Lou froze, immediately feeling an immense pressure emanating from the medal, making it hard for him to breathe.

"father!!!"

He Lou slid to his knees without hesitation and shouted with a grin.

"My sister was here just now, I'm sorry."

"I understand."

Gu Qing smiled.

The two hadn't seen each other for a year, so He Lou took Gu Qing to a VIP room in Miao Dan Pavilion. He Lou boasted about his experiences at university, and Gu Qing briefly talked about his experiences in the world of ancient martial arts.

After their exchange, He Lou seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke:

"By the way, when I came back from summer vacation this year, the class monitor organized a class reunion."

"You're also a Qi Refining stage cultivator now, let's go together!"

"A class reunion?"

Gu Qing thought for a moment, then frowned and said:

"They organized a class reunion but didn't invite me. What am I supposed to do there?"

"The class monitor is probably notifying everyone; they're all old classmates who got into university, right?"

"Hi--"

"Well, you didn't activate the Taixu Dharma Seal before, so I'll add you to the group now."

After a pause, He Lou explained, "You may not know this, but class monitor Wang Jian and Han Xuan were admitted to the top ten universities in the Immortal Kingdom."

"The Immortal Kingdom has many of the most cutting-edge immortal cultivation technologies, all of which come from the top ten universities."

"If we can build good relationships with them, even a single useful piece of information from them could save us from taking a decade of detours."

Every year, the Immortal Kingdom develops many new technologies. The top ten universities are the highest-level institutions of learning in the Immortal Kingdom, integrating industry, academia, and research.

Even many of the technologies used by Xianmu Group require authorization from the top ten universities.

The principals of the ten major universities in the Immortal Kingdom are all powerful beings at the Immortal level.

"well……"

Thinking about her failure in the college entrance examination, Gu Qing couldn't help but sigh.

If his cheat ability in the equipment slot had awakened a year or two earlier, he could definitely have been admitted to one of the top ten universities in the Immortal Kingdom.

It's all about timing and fate!

After thinking for a moment, Gu Qing nodded and agreed with He Lou's suggestion:

"Can."

"I'll go with you tomorrow to broaden your horizons."

Upon hearing this, He Lou couldn't help but roll his eyes at Gu Qing.

"You're such a schemer, you always play dumb to get what you want..."

"As a mercenary employed by the Xianmu Group, being able to win the title of one of the top ten new talents means that you may not be worse than Wang Jian and Han Xuan, who were admitted to the top ten universities."

"..."

After sitting with He Lou in the VIP room for nearly an hour, Gu Qing got up to say goodbye.

arrive home.

Gu Qing couldn't wait to test the effects of Huanglongdan.

First of all.

Gu Qing took out an ordinary Yellow Dragon Pill and held it in his hand.

"equipment!"

He silently recited it in his heart.

[Equipped Item: Yellow Dragon Pill]

[Rank: Grade 1, Level 7 Pill]

Completeness: 91%

[Equipment Effect: Significantly increases the speed of spiritual energy circulation for a short period, adding five points to spiritual energy cultivation, but the potency is quite strong...]

[Activate equipment effects?]

Nice—

Seeing that the effects of the Yellow Dragon Pill could be quantified in the equipment slot, Gu Qing was secretly delighted.

I just don't know if the five points of spiritual power cultivation increased by each Yellow Dragon Pill is based on Gu Qing's own aptitude, or if everyone who swallows a Yellow Dragon Pill will increase their spiritual power cultivation by five points?

Let's leave that question aside for now.

"activation."

Gu Qing said directly.

[You have received the medicinal effect of 1 Yellow Dragon Pill, increasing your spiritual energy circulation speed by 6% and your spiritual energy cultivation by 5. Requires continuous equipping for 1 hour.]

next moment.

An unusual flush appeared on Gu Qing's face, her spiritual energy circulated faster, and wisps of white smoke rose from the top of her head.

bang bang bang...

There seemed to be a drumming sound inside my body.

Such potent medicinal properties.

"Equipping one Yellow Dragon Pill increases spiritual power cultivation by five points."

"What if we equip one bottle?"

Thinking of this, Gu Qing took out the ordinary Yellow Dragon Pill from earlier.

Then silently recite "equipment".

[Equipped Items: One Bottle of Yellow Dragon Pill]

[Rank: Grade 1, Level 7 Pill]

Completeness: 90%

[Equipment Effect: Significantly increases the speed of spiritual energy circulation for a short period, increasing spiritual energy cultivation by fifty points, but the potency is quite strong...]

[Activate equipment effects?]

"activation!"

[You have received the effects of one bottle of Yellow Dragon Pill, increasing your spiritual energy circulation speed by 60% and your spiritual energy cultivation by 50. Requires continuous equipping for 10 hours.]

The spiritual energy within his body transformed into a raging river, impacting every inch of his meridians.

at the same time.

Gu Qing actively activated the "Spirit Devouring Sword Technique" to accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy. The white mist above his head was like a veil, making it impossible to see Gu Qing's face.

In the blink of an eye, ten hours had passed.

Gu Qing meditated from noon until after nine o'clock in the evening.

He slowly opened his eyes.

A glint of light flashed in Gu Qing's eyes.

The spiritual power cultivation increased by fifty points. Such a fast refining speed is simply heaven-defying.

Most importantly, after taking a bottle of ordinary Huanglong Pills in just ten hours, there was no increase in resistance to the pills, nor was there any trace of pill poisoning in the body.

"Cool!!"

"This is what cheating should look like."

Gu Qing felt instantly relieved.

After countless years of development, the Immortal Kingdom has a very clear understanding of the changes in cultivation levels during the Qi Refining stage.

The maximum spiritual power cultivation level during the Qi Refining stage is 1000 points.

Each minor realm can accommodate a maximum of 100 points of spiritual power cultivation.

With just two bottles of Yellow Dragon Pills, Gu Qing can break through to the second level of Qi Refining.

"The equipment slot effects are ridiculously overpowered."

"How could an ordinary person possibly maximize the efficacy of a medicinal pill?"

"When a cultivator absorbs a pill, the effect it produces is not even half; if they can produce two-tenths of the effect, then they are all exceptionally talented individuals."

Next.

Gu Qing took out the premium Yellow Dragon Pill and then equipped it.

Compared to ordinary Huanglongdan,

Each premium Yellow Dragon Pill increases the speed of spiritual energy circulation by 10% and spiritual energy cultivation by 6 points.

"Great medicine!!"

One night passed.

Gu Qing has already stepped into the second level of Qi Refining.

Before he could get up, the Taixu Dharma Seal began to vibrate incessantly, as if someone was in a hurry to contact Gu Qing.

Who is it?
