My Perfect Immortal Cultivation Life

"Li Yu persevered for eight years until he entered the sect, but his life force was exhausted in the secret realm."

Elder Zhao Shushi read out Li Yu's results.

Li Yu scratched his head: "Was all of that... fake?"

He perfectly portrayed three parts confusion, three parts relief, and three parts sudden realization. Even Linglong Daoxin was amazed.

Linglong: "Li Yu, your acting was superb! Watching your performance, I thought you didn't know anything at all!"

Just kidding! Don't you even know what "an actor's self-cultivation" means?!

Zhao Shushi explained, "This is an illusion created by the sect leader using the supreme-grade magic artifact, the Heavenly Mirror. It can be considered an opportunity for you. Only by experiencing the responsibilities that geniuses must bear can you cultivate diligently, without becoming arrogant or discouraged."

"This disciple has learned much from you."

Zhao Shushi was very satisfied with Li Yu's humble yet assertive demeanor.

"Alright, go check your score. You should have no problem getting to the basics."

Li Yu stepped forward and stood under the Heavenly Mirror.

All that could be seen in the mirror were a few lines of dark characters.

Li Yu,

He persevered through the illusion until his eighth year as a beginner.

The resources of Bingzhong.

Current ranking of registered disciples: 4502nd, in the top half.

Reward: Entry into the Sixth Academy of the Profound Class, and cultivation of the Profound-level High-grade Qi Refining Method.

Optional cultivation techniques: *One Hundred Records of Array Diagrams*, *Little Plum Blossom Sword*, *The Elixir Cultivation Technique*.

Li Yu was quite satisfied: "Not bad, the achievement of moderation should be complete!"

【Buzz】

You have unlocked the achievement "Knowledge is not about order of arrival".

Players achieve mediocre results in the introductory exam, perfectly aligning with the main quest—peaceful cultivation.

Achievement Reward: 1 Random Attribute Point (Open the panel to draw a prize)

Sure enough, a golden icon appeared in Li Yu's mind, the achievement was unlocked, and the reward was in his hands.

Of course, there's no rush to draw a prize now.

After passing the entrance exam, the first step is to choose a cultivation profession that suits you.

There are two types of martial arts techniques in the game.

The first method is the Qi Refining Method, which involves sensing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to open up blocked acupoints in the body, and then using this spiritual energy to nourish oneself. This embodies the principle that Heaven provides for what is lacking.

In layman's terms: Refining Qi grants experience and allows you to level up.

The higher the level of Qi Refining Technique, the faster you gain experience.

The second type is professional training methods.

As the name suggests, it's used for choosing a career.

In the game "All Things," there are dozens of professions to choose from. These include Qi Refiner, Body Cultivator, Sword Cultivator, Alchemist, Weapon Refiner, Array Master, and many more. Each profession has its own unique characteristics.

The three cultivation methods given to Li Yu by the magical artifact—the "Hundred Records of Array Diagrams," the "Little Plum Blossom Sword," and the "Elixir Cultivation Technique"—were meant to allow him to choose one of the following: array master, sword cultivator, or alchemist.

Li Yu pondered for a moment and then came up with an idea.

Of these three professions, the swordsman has the strongest attack power. The alchemist is purely a support type. The formation master is a compromise, capable of both offense and defense.

If one simply wants to stay in the mountains and cultivate, alchemy seems to be the safest profession. Many alchemists never leave their homes more than a few times in their entire lives.

However, Li Yu remembered that the famous Qin Saintess in his family mainly practiced swordsmanship and secondarily cultivated elixirs.

If Li Yu chooses the profession of alchemist again, it will be easy for Qin Shufan to see through his slacking off!

Li Yu clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and replied, "This disciple chooses 'The Record of One Hundred Formation Diagrams'."

"A good choice. Array formations are ever-changing, each containing profound profound principles. Once you reach a high level, you can even switch to cultivating artifacts. If you are interested in the future, you can come to Heavenly Craft Peak to listen to some of their teachings."

For some reason, Zhao Shushi had a very good impression of Li Yu. "Wasn't I just as ordinary when I was young? So what? As long as one diligently cultivates oneself, one can still go very far."

Zhao Shushi handed the two jade tablets to Li Yu.

"The cultivation technique is recorded inside; you can sense it with your divine sense. You must memorize the technique within a week and return the jade tablet."

"Your disciple obeys."

You have obtained a new skill.

Simple Qi Refining Method (Upper Grade, Mystic), "One Hundred Records of Array Diagrams" (Middle Grade, Mystic)

[Selectable class detected: Array Master]

"Two Xuan-level cultivation techniques, not bad."

Li Yu bowed and took his leave, exiting the examination hall. His senior sister's figure appeared out of thin air.

Clearly, Qin Shufan had been waiting at the door throughout the assessment period.

"Greetings, Senior Sister." Li Yu bowed.

Qin Shufan patted Li Yu's head. Qin Shufan wasn't as tall as Li Yu, but since she was floating in the air, she appeared to be a head taller than Li Yu. It was unclear whether it was intentional.

"Junior brother... don't be discouraged. Even at the Xuan level, one can barely cultivate immortality."

"..."

Li Yu had a dark line on his forehead.

He discovered that his nominal senior sister was truly a character who often left him speechless. Did she even realize that the Xuan level was quite impressive?

How many people in the cultivation world desire a Xuan-level cultivation technique? How come it's described by my senior sister as being no different from roadside trash?

"No wonder Qin Shufan was ostracized in the sect..." Li Yu understood somewhat what those fellow disciples and elders who ostracized and pressured Qin Shufan were thinking.

Qin Shufan said, "The Myriad Manifestations Ranking Competition is in six months. I only just learned that no one from our peak has participated in the Myriad Manifestations Ranking Competition for thirty years. If we don't participate soon, the sect will demand that I return the position of peak master."

"Does my senior mean I should participate?"

Li Yu pointed to himself, somewhat incredulous.

Please, senior sister!

I only passed the entrance exam as a third-grade disciple. Is there something wrong with making me participate in the Myriad Manifestations Ranking?

Qin Shufan said, "If you can't participate in the Condensation Ranking Competition, you can always participate in the Sitting Illumination Ranking. The sect will start the selection in three months, so don't feel pressured."

"If you can't represent Dao Yi Sect, it's fine for me to go."

Li Yu thought to himself: According to the game's storyline, Qin Shufan participated in the grand competition six months later. It was precisely because she was seriously injured in that competition that the thieves had an opportunity to take advantage of her, leading to many subsequent events.

[Achievement "Witness to a Memorable Scene" has been detected as unlockable]

Unlock condition: Players must be selected in the Myriad Rankings with a mediocre score.

Achievement Reward: 3 Random Attribute Point

Alright, now Li Yu doesn't need to hesitate anymore. Three attribute points will significantly boost his combat power. There's no reason not to participate.

The Myriad Manifestations Ranking is a grand competition jointly organized by various countries in the Central Plains, concerning the allocation of numerous cultivation resources. It is the grandest festival in the cultivation world. Among them, disciples with cultivation levels in the first two realms participate in the Seated Illumination Ranking, while disciples in the third realm participate in the Concentrated Spirit Ranking.

"My main mission is to not break through to the second realm within six months, so I can only participate in the competition of the Seated Illumination Ranking. This also means that I can defeat many of my fellow disciples who are in the second realm with the strength of the first realm."

Well... things have come to this, let's eat first.

Li Yu followed his senior sister back to their Supreme Peak.
