My Perfect Immortal Cultivation Life

The little squabble just now was merely a brief interlude.

Li Yu felt the power contained within his body:

"Is this the boost that +1 to Physique brings me?"

This Yi Hu can only be considered a body cultivator at the entry level of the Dao Seeking Realm. When he doesn't use his Qi and Blood Power, my body is stronger than his. But if we really fight, he could overpower me if he uses his cultivation techniques.

It seems my strength is still too weak. I can suppress my cultivation level, but I must find a way to improve my combat power!

A thought popped into his head: "Why don't I also learn a body-strengthening technique? It's always good to have more skills, and learning another technique won't break through my cultivation level."

Of course, that's a story for another time.

What we need to do now is listen to the lectures and then practice.

The lecturer was a middle-aged man with a square face named Pan Shuo. His aura was calm and restrained, indicating he had already reached the third realm of cultivation. His gaze swept over the dozens of disciples below, and his voice, though not loud, was clear and distinct:

"Those who practice Qi cultivation draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their meridians, gather it in the heart, and then guide it along the meridians..."

With the support of his refined Dao Heart, Li Yu found understanding these things effortless. He quickly mastered all the knowledge points.

"In any case, let's try the Qi Refining Method first."

Following the guidance of the Qi Refining Method, Li Yu gradually began to sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. This was not difficult.

As can be seen from the entrance examination, even ordinary people who have never cultivated can use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth after obtaining the method.

Soon, he could feel a surge of heat coursing through his body's meridians, passing through his limbs, torso, and brain, before finally flowing into an unseen abyss in his chest.

That abyss is called Heart Lake.

The moment the spiritual energy entered the abyss, he felt a sense of comfort throughout his body, a strange sensation of pain, itchiness, and pleasure coursing through all his meridians. It was as if another door had been opened in his body, allowing him to see a completely new world.

"Is this the Qi Refining Method? I've only circulated it once, why isn't any spiritual energy being generated within my body?"

Just then, Pan Shuo, the lecturer on the stage, saw that most of his disciples had completed one cycle of cultivation and said, "We have quite a few new disciples in the six academies of the Xuan Class this year. I need to give you some advice."

Now you've all basically completed one cycle. You must be wondering why you can't feel any spiritual energy within your body.

That's because you haven't fully mastered the Qi Refining Method yet. The Qi Refining Method is like a naughty mount; if you don't tame it, you can't ride it around and see the vast world.

Generally speaking, mastering 30% is enough to initially generate spiritual power within the body. For us Xuan Class disciples, this takes about a week.

Mastering 50% will double the speed of spiritual energy generation, taking approximately two weeks. Only after mastering it fully can you unleash the complete power of the Profound-level Qi Refining Technique to absorb spiritual energy. This will take you anywhere from one to three months.

Beside Li Yu, Zhou Ziyu pouted and said, "Why does it take so long? Watch me master this Qi Refining Method in just one week!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Chou Tzu-yu asked, displeased. "You don't believe I can master it all in a week?"

"No," Li Yu quickly waved his hand. "I was just thinking about something happy."

Chou Tzu-yu asked suspiciously, "What's so exciting?"

"My senior sister is a great cook, I'll invite you to cook with her another day."

"Really? Okay, okay!" As a fan of Qin Shufan, Chou Tzu-yu naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity to get close to her idol.

"Fine, I'm not talking to you anymore. Wait until I learn the Qi Refining Technique in a week, and I'll dazzle you!" Chou Tzu-yu glared at Li Yu, not really angry, but just feeling looked down upon.

Li Yu also continued his cultivation.

A notification suddenly popped into his mind.

[You are currently learning the Simple Qi Refining Technique (High-Grade Mystic), current proficiency: 5%]

Half an hour later, Li Yu completed another cycle of circulation.

Current proficiency: 12%

Li Yu calculated in his mind: So, I only need one day to master it all? Is it that fast?

Linglong seized the opportunity: "Yes, yes! That's how fast it is! It's all thanks to me! With my help, you can learn any skill at this speed! Super fast!"

One hour later.

Current proficiency: 26%

Three hours later.

Current proficiency: 100%

【Buzz】

You have learned the Simple Qi Refining Method (High-Grade Mystic)

Li Yu hadn't expected that the higher his proficiency, the less time it took for the Qi Refining Technique to complete a full cycle. He had already mastered the Qi Refining Technique after just one day of academy classes.

Next, if you continue to practice the Qi Refining Technique, you can accumulate spiritual power, open up your acupoints, and officially embark on the path of cultivation.

"But what's the rush? get out of class is over."

It was already dark outside the courtyard, and the school bell rang to signal the end of classes. Li Yu stood up and straightened his clothes.

In my past life, when I was in school, the teacher kept us going overtime.

My boss made me work overtime without pay.

Now that I have been given another chance at life, I, Li Yu, never want to live that kind of life again.

Leave on time! No delays!

However, apart from Li Yu, everyone else in the courtyard continued to diligently study the Qi Refining Technique after class.

When Zhou Ziyu heard that Li Yu was leaving, he asked in confusion, "Are you leaving now? Why not cultivate a little longer? You know, this place is enhanced by an array, making cultivation much faster than elsewhere. Once you leave here, it will be difficult to enjoy these resources again."

Li Yu shook his head: "Cultivation is about going with the flow, and requires a balance of tension and relaxation."

Zhou Ziyu pouted: "That sounds nice, but it's just laziness. As Saintess Qin's junior brother, don't you want to quickly advance to the Earth or Heaven class? Don't you feel ashamed of the Saintess by staying in the Profound class?"

Li Yu grinned and said, "I have no obligation to consider my senior sister's feelings."

"I don't care about you, I'm going to continue cultivating. Let me tell you, I've already mastered a full ten percent of the Qi Refining Technique today. Hmph, are you envious?"

"You've already completed one-tenth of the work? That's quite fast," Li Yu encouraged.

"Look at Yi Hu, that stupid guy, he's practicing extra hard now. He even started learning before you! If you keep slacking off like this, you probably won't be a match for him in a month! Let's see what you do then!"

Li Yu shrugged.

What to do? We'll see.

If I practice extra every day, I'm afraid I'll have broken through to the second realm in a month! That would be a real problem.

Li Yu left the academy and returned to his residence.

With his status as the junior brother of the Holy Maiden Qin, and after a few polite greetings, Li Yu easily obtained a plate of braised meat, two bowls of white porridge, and half a freshly steamed wheat cake from the steward, which he ate to his heart's content.

Before leaving, he smiled and pestered the steward a few more times, borrowed a well-worn fishing rod, found a pond in the mountains for wild fishing, and began his leisurely life.

Looking at the starry sky, Li Yu groaned contentedly: This is life!

Day two.

Li Yu was taking a class on battle formations.

Halfway up, he broke out in a cold sweat: "Something's not right? I can't control my cultivation level anymore?"
