My Perfect Immortal Cultivation Life

Day three of beginner's training.

Li Yu didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky, perhaps because he had overexerted himself during the previous day's energy cultivation. Sitting up, Li Yu felt it necessary to analyze the current situation.

"I have now mastered the Qi Refining Technique and the Three Formations, opened the Nine Acupoints, and gained a +1 attribute point to my Physique."

Overall, although my cultivation level is only at the minor completion stage, as long as I have enough spirit stones, my burst damage can approach the level of the first stage's perfection.

For other disciples, it would be very difficult to comprehend a formation while only at the Lesser Completion stage of the Dao Inquiry realm.

Generally speaking, those at the Lesser Completion stage of the Dao Inquiry realm can only comprehend one-third of the formation at most, and can only exert one-third of their strength.

However, for the peerless genius Li Yu, almost no cultivation technique has a bottleneck. With the help of his exquisite Dao Heart, he can comprehend all the formations at the first stage of minor completion.

Overall, my strength is still too weak.

"It's been three days since I started, and my strength is still so weak. Without spirit stones, I wouldn't be able to beat Yi Hu from the academy at all."

Li Yu was thinking about his next plan to become stronger.

Then came a knock at the door.

"Fellow Daoist Li Yu! Are you home?" A young man's voice came from outside. Li Yu recognized the visitor; his name was Qiu Xu, a steward from Supreme Peak. He was responsible for managing some of Supreme Peak's assets on Tian Guang Peak.

These past two days, Li Yu has been going to Qiu Xu's place for dinner every night, so he's already become quite familiar with him.

"Isn't this Senior Brother Qiu Xu?" Li Yu got up, opened the door, and greeted him with a smile.

Qiu Xu was a few years older than Li Yu, and his cultivation level had already reached the third realm. Logically, he should address Li Yu as his junior brother.

However, Li Yu was, after all, Qin Shufan's junior brother, the Holy Maiden Qin. His future achievements would certainly far surpass those of a mere deacon like himself. Therefore, he addressed Li Yu as "fellow Daoist."

Qiu Xu asked, "I came today just to ask you why you didn't go to class at the academy? Today is Q&A time, so you can ask the instructor if you have any questions."

When Qiu Xu first met Li Yu, he was eating a light meal.

But he never expected Li Yu to so casually ask him if he could have dinner together. As a steward of Supreme Peak, he was completely under Qin Shufan's command. Li Yu's status was somewhat similar to that of a spoiled brat on Supreme Peak. How could he dare to refuse?

Unexpectedly, Li Yu wasn't arrogant at all. After spending two days together, Qiu Xu also developed a liking for this ordinary-looking young man.

"Oh... I had some insights from studying formations yesterday, so I did some research at home." Li Yu casually made up a lie to brush it off. "But speaking of which, I do have something I'd like to ask Senior Brother Qiu Xu."

"Please feel free to speak."

"Lend me some money. Oh no, I mean, contribute some money," Li Yu asked matter-of-factly.

"..." Qiu Xu froze for a moment.

After spending two days with him, I just started to think that Li Yu didn't have the typical spoiled brat behavior. But what does it mean that he's asking me for money?

Li Yu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely pay you back next week."

Li Yu thought about what he needed to prepare for his next move: "Lend me 500... that's not enough, lend me 1,000 contribution points instead."

Qiu Xu looked troubled. A thousand contribution points was a huge sum for him, but for someone of Qin Shufan's level, it was just a drop in the ocean.

If you're short of money, why don't you borrow from your own senior sister instead of coming to me, a mere steward...? For a moment, Qiu Xu even suspected that Li Yu was conducting an obedience test.

Qiu Xu: "Fellow Daoist Li Yu, a thousand contribution points will empty my savings. This is my future wife's dowry, this..."

Li Yu frowned. Was he afraid I wouldn't pay it back? Was the atmosphere in the cultivation world really that bad...?

He said, "Don't worry, I swear on my senior sister's reputation, I will definitely pay you back with interest next week."

"Ah..." Hearing that Li Yu had even staked Qin Shengnu's name on it, Qiu Xu had no reason to refuse anymore.

With a pained expression, he transferred 1,000 contribution points to Li Yu and then quickly left the place.

"Qiu Xu, you didn't need to come all this way! You think you can use Li Yu's connections to get promoted? You've tried to steal a chicken and lost the rice instead!" He had absolutely no idea whether Li Yu would pay him back next week. He just felt incredibly unlucky to have come all this way today...

On the other side...

With 1000 contribution points, Li Yu felt more confident.

"Tch... It's not like I'm not going to pay you back, making me, Li Yu, sound like some kind of bad guy."

He happened to remember there was a first-realm secret realm near the Dao Yi Sect, and the reward for clearing it was a level-one Qi Refining Technique. This perfectly suited his need to open more Qi points to consume experience points. These 1000 contribution points were preparations for that.

Li Yu looked up and saw that it was getting late. He had initially thought of going to Qiu Xu's place to freeload again. But then he thought that Qiu Xu probably didn't want to see him right now, so he gave up the idea.

Since things have come to this, let's go to the sect's Shoucheng Pavilion to exchange for spirit stones.

……

Two days later.

Day 5 of beginner's journey.

Above the mountains of the outer sect of Dao Yi Sect.

Amidst swirling clouds and mist, a colossal bird pierced through the clouds, soaring through the air with a sweeping breeze. On its back sat more than ten disciples who had just entered the first realm, each with an excited expression, curiously observing the wondrous sea of ​​clouds around them.

Li Yu sat in the most easily overlooked spot in the crowd.

Leading the group at the front was a deacon from the Third Realm.

He cleared his throat and said to his disciples, "This mission is very simple: find a rare spiritual herb along both banks of the Yunxi River. I believe you all know what it looks like by heart..."

Yes, Li Yu accepted a Class C mission from a sect: to find spiritual herbs for an elder. This mission was the most suitable for him.

First of all, this mission is only in the first realm, and there won't be any battles, so it's very safe.

Secondly, the secret realm he knew of, which possessed a level-one Qi refining technique, was located on either side of Yunxi. Hiring on this side of the river was incredibly worthwhile.

The only unfortunate thing was that Yi Hu, with whom he had had a minor conflict before, also appeared on this mission.

On the other side of the crowd.

Yi Hu's massive body looked even fatter than it had been a few days ago.

He whispered to the person beside him, "Senior brother, that's Li Yu. He talked back to me before. I wonder if you could create an opportunity for me to be alone with him for a while, so I can let him understand what kind of person I am."

Yi Hu's senior brother was not as muscular as him, but his well-defined muscles suggested that he was also a cultivator, and that his cultivation level was higher than Yi Hu's.

"What's so difficult about that? Everyone was going to be scattered this time anyway. I just need to use the magic artifact that the elder left me to track Li Yu's aura."

But remember, be quick and efficient, don't disrupt our mission.

Yi Hu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth, making a chilling sound: "Don't worry, senior brother, I'll make sure my actions are clean. I'll make him regret passing the entrance exam and meeting me."
