Dark Immortal Cultivation

[Powerful +0.2]

The notification that appeared in his field of vision sent Zhang Qing's spirits soaring once again!

He eagerly checked the panel and, sure enough, saw that the data in the [Power] column had changed from 0.0 to 0.2.

Not only that, when Zhang Qing stared at [Physical Strength], [Soul], [Martial Arts], and [Spellcasting], the four attributes lit up one by one.

You can add some now!

Calm down! Calm down!!

Zhang Qing took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm and not lose his composure.

Of the four attributes on the data panel, [Physical Strength] clearly represents physical qualities, while [Spirit and Soul] is undoubtedly related to the spirit and soul.

His initial physique score was only 0.7, which, considering his own circumstances, suggests he is weaker than the average person.

On the other hand, the [Soul] points reached 1.6, which is also the only strong point among the four attributes.

Now that I've gained 0.2 [Powerful Energy], which attribute should I add it to?

Is it to make up for weaknesses?

Or should we make the strong even stronger?

Zhang Qing did not make a decision rashly.

His gaze swept past [Martial Arts] and landed on the last column, [Spellcasting].

His predecessor had studied martial arts.

However, he only learned martial arts for physical fitness and rarely touched them after entering the Daoist path.

After all, in this world, the upper limit of martial arts is very low. No matter how well you practice, you will only be a henchman or servant for cultivators, with no future prospects whatsoever.

Zhang Qing was completely out of his mind to waste his precious Power Points on Martial Arts!

In fact, he was a little puzzled. How could martial arts be mixed up with physique, spirit, and spellcasting?

Naturally, this will be skipped.

As for casting spells, Zhang Qing's thoughts were completely different.

He's a cultivator!

Despite being limited by talent and resources, Zhang Qing is currently only at the first level of Qi Refining, but he is still a true cultivator who has transcended the mortal realm and entered the Dao. His ability to cast spells and fight is the foundation for his foothold in this world.

With a determined heart, Zhang Qing added the 0.2 Powerful Energy he had just acquired and hadn't even warmed up yet to the [Spellcasting] attribute.

Suddenly, the [Spellcasting] section shone brightly before returning to calm.

Physical Strength: 0.7

[Soul: 1.6]

Martial Arts Skill: 0.3

[Spellcast: 0.7]

[Powerful: 0.0]

Everything can be enhanced.

Looking at the new data panel, Zhang Qing, who had been waiting for a moment, couldn't help but scratch his head.

I don't feel anything!

After thinking for a moment, he sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, focused his mind and cleared his thoughts of distractions, and began to practice the "Mysterious Origin Technique".

The "Mysterious Origin Technique" is the basic method of Qi cultivation that Zhang Qing mainly practices. Like the "Five Elements Technique" and the "Pure Spirit Technique", this technique is a widely circulated popular cultivation method with a history of thousands of years.

Their predecessors were from humble families, so they could only get such common goods.

However, the "Xuan Yuan Jue" is most suitable for male cultivators, and after being improved and revised by cultivators of all generations, the current version is almost perfect. As long as you don't practice it recklessly, there is no risk of going into qi deviation, so it can be said to be very stable.

However, compared to the basic cultivation techniques tailored for elite disciples by major sects and aristocratic families, the Xuan Yuan Jue is only good in terms of stability.

The question is, did Zhang Qing, or rather his predecessor, have any choice?

Of course not!

A wisp of true energy rises from the dantian, ascends through the meridians, merges into the five internal organs, travels through the limbs and bones, and reaches all the acupoints of the body.

Drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and integrating the essence and blood within, the ever-growing true energy eventually returns to the dantian.

This completes the cycle.

After a complete cycle of the universe, Zhang Qing was shocked!

He clearly felt that his speed of cultivating the "Mysterious Origin Technique" had increased significantly, and his efficiency in refining spiritual energy and blood energy had increased simultaneously, by an estimated 20% to 30%.

Without a doubt, this is entirely due to the increase in the [Spellcasting] attribute from 0.5 to 0.7.

The question is, is the effect really that obvious?

Zhang Qing, who had been stuck at the peak of the first level of Qi Refining for three years, really felt like bursting into tears at this moment!

That was the remnant soul of the previous incarnation weeping.

It's not easy!

Zhang Qing had no time for sentimentality; he immediately closed his eyes again and began to challenge his own limitations.

As the saying goes, "One should strike while the iron is hot, but the momentum will wane on the second attempt and be exhausted on the third!"

He feels great right now and has a lot of confidence. If he doesn't take this opportunity to climb to the next level, when will he?

Under Zhang Qing's urging, the true qi in his dantian was fully activated, instantly transforming into a torrent that rushed straight to his acupoints.

He hadn't used his true energy to refine talisman coins recently, so the true energy accumulated in his dantian was quite abundant. Suddenly, it surged up like a tidal wave crashing against the seemingly unbreakable acupoint.

boom!

For its predecessor, this seemingly indestructible barrier was broken through in one fell swoop!

Zhang Qing shuddered, his muscles and bones instantly vibrating with a fine, resonant sound. Sweat poured from his body, and white vapor rose from his head.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a faint glint of light flashing in his dark pupils.

Hahaha!

Zhang Qing couldn't help but throw his head back and burst into laughter.

The bottleneck that had plagued and tormented its predecessor for three years was broken through so easily.

He has reached the second level of Qi Refining!

Although the second level of Qi Refining is not much stronger than the first level, it does enhance one's ability to protect oneself.

Especially now, facing the threat from Xu Wu and others, this breakthrough in cultivation level is extremely crucial!

Zhang Qing shut his mouth and raised his right hand, palm facing upward.

The next moment, a ball of crimson flame the size of an egg rapidly condensed above his right palm.

As a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining, Zhang Qing currently only possesses two spells.

"The Art of Gentle Breeze" and "The Art of Blazing Fire".

The former can create a gust of wind, which can be used to travel lightly or to clear away dust or obstacles.

"Blazing Fire" is a type of offensive spell.

In the blink of an eye, the ball of fire on Zhang Qing's right palm swelled to the size of an infant's fist, far exceeding the limit of his previous spellcasting.

"disease!"

With a soft shout, the ball of blazing fire suddenly shot out, covering several steps in an instant, before crashing into the wall and exploding.

Countless points of intense heat burst forth, turning the dimly lit room into a dazzling display of fireworks, their light illuminating Zhang Qing's face!

With each breath, the flames dissipated.

The wall, which had just been struck by the blazing fireball, was left with a charred mark, and cracks were faintly visible.

it is good!

Zhang Qing couldn't help but clench his fist and wave it excitedly twice.

After his [Spellcasting] attribute was improved, he not only broke through his own bottleneck in one fell swoop, but also became more skilled and free in casting spells, and more powerful.

Their overall combat effectiveness has increased significantly.

If a mere 0.2 increase in the [Spellcasting] attribute has such a noticeable effect, then what about adding 2 points, 20 points, 200 points...?

What kind of scene would that be?

Zhang Qing dared not think about it, for fear that he would laugh himself into a crooked-mouthed dragon king!

But after the initial surprise, he had to face the harsh reality.

The origin of [Powerful Energy] has been clarified.

The problem is that the items in the ruins are considered rare and precious materials, and Zhang Qing obtaining one was already a result of sheer chance.

With no power, no influence, and no money, where can he find new opportunities?

Explore ancient ruins?

Slay the evil entity?

Zhang Qing sighed and decided to first consolidate his Qi Refining Level 2 realm.
