System crash? I prove it with my control panel!

After mastering the Taotie Fighting Technique, Chen Wen did not feel any changes.

I just eat faster now and my speech is more fluent.

What truly surprised him was the enormous capacity of his stomach.

He couldn't figure out how big it was, but he had tried drinking water from the stream behind the mountain. Even after drinking all the water in the stream, he still couldn't fill it up.

Once it reached his stomach, it turned into a small puddle.

Fortunately, there was a clear spring flowing here all the time, so Chen Wen no longer needed to spit it out.

Once the Gluttonous Blood Body Technique was activated, the water was refined into qi and blood, nourishing his physical body.

The progress of the first level of body training has increased by 10 points.

That's what the Gluttonous Blood Body Technique is like.

No matter what it is, even a pile of soil, it can extract its essence to nourish the body.

Then comes cultivation.

Now his veins are covered with dense blood vessels.

It looks a bit strange, but it works.

Even if he cultivates continuously for twelve hours a day, his meridians can withstand it without any swelling or pain.

Upon hearing this news, Chen Wen's eyes lit up; now his talent could finally be fully utilized.

From then on.

He goes to class in the morning to study metaphysics.

I ate lunch at the canteen, where they provided unlimited amounts of spiritual rice.

He can eat to his heart's content with his gluttonous stomach and then store the food in it.

When I got back in the afternoon, I practiced my spells until I exhausted all my magical power.

Then he cultivated and recovered, while simultaneously using the Gluttonous Blood Body Technique to transform the spiritual rice into nourishment for his physical body.

Although the spiritual rice they were fed was of low quality, every little bit helps, and with the quantity increasing, the progress was quite considerable.

He continued cultivating until nightfall, then used spells to exhaust his spiritual power.

After finally regaining his magical powers, he went to the library to study.

Every day is incredibly boring.

But every increase in strength and every improvement in proficiency brought Chen Wen a sense of fulfillment and joy.

It's somewhat like the satisfaction of a bountiful harvest from farming.

As for those two Grade A awards...

Chen Wen chose the "Cicada Shedding Breath Technique" and the "Wood Escape Technique".

Both are first-level superior methods.

He originally wanted to exchange it for a body refinement and a soul attack.

However, the method of attacking with divine souls is perhaps too precious, and it is not available on the first floor.

After careful consideration, Chen Wen decided that since he couldn't attack, he should try his best to save his life!

In the world of cultivation, you don't necessarily need to be able to defeat others, but you definitely can't be the most high-profile, because the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.

It can't be the slowest runner, because falling behind means being vulnerable to attack.

Therefore, he chose the middle way, which is to hide his sharpness while running fast enough, so that he would not be the last one.

As for his attack methods, he has the Taotie Beast in close combat... well, he can just swing his fists and fight hand-to-hand!

If it's remote, he plans to wait until the year is up, choose his cultivation method, and then make his choice.

The main reason is that when he was chatting with Chu Feng, Chu Feng revealed that the inheritance of cultivation techniques is usually a complete set, which includes a series of contents such as cultivation methods, spells, secret techniques, pills, and tools. This is what is called the inheritance of cultivation techniques.

Even his Taotie Blood Body Technique has a set of fighting techniques and Taotie Transformation, and there is also a method for refining his natal weapon in the future.

Although the Supreme Purity Technique is good, it can only be cultivated up to the Golden Core stage, and he wants to see more.

It should be noted that if one becomes an inner disciple and ranks first, one can enter the Scripture Pavilion to select cultivation techniques.

The Qingming Sect's Scripture Pavilion contains countless martial arts techniques, including many superior ones.

You should choose the one that suits you best.

As for the two Taoist scriptures as a reward...

Chen Wenxuan selected two books: "Shouyi Cunzhenquan" and "Qingjing Guanmiaojing".

This sutra was not placed in a library and annotated by predecessors for beginners to read.

Instead, it was written in genuine Xuanwen script and inscribed on jade slips.

These Taoist scriptures are written in esoteric language, which is obscure and difficult to understand, but they point directly to the essence, allowing you to avoid detours and benefit immensely.

They could even glean magical techniques from it. For Chen Wen, after comprehending it, his proficiency in cultivating the techniques would increase much faster, making his efforts twice as effective!

This is the real top-tier reward; compared to this, the so-called choice of a spell is utterly insignificant.

"Shouyi Cunzhen Shuan" is a scripture that describes the state of mind and spirit.

Chen Wen chose the Qingjing Guan Miao Jing because he noticed the characters "Qingjing" in the name and assumed it was related to the cultivation method the person practiced.

Subsequent events proved that there was indeed a connection.

Time flies like morning dew and evening glow; two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Wen has made great progress in the past two months.

First, the profound text has been thoroughly studied. After that, there is only one hour each morning for explanation and review, followed by one hour for teaching the way of cultivation and Taoist classics. The remaining time is for self-cultivation.

Chen Wen suspected that Li Xuan had deliberately sped up the teaching pace to save trouble, and he had evidence. When he first arrived, he saw in the introductory jade slip that it clearly stated that one Xuan text would be taught every day.

Chen Wen was happy with this, so he didn't think much of it.

Qingchi Peak is much quieter now.

The current number of people is only about half of what it was when Chen Wengang arrived.

Another batch will be eliminated by the end of the year.

In previous years, there weren't many people eliminated at this time, which shows how brutal this year is.

Chen Wen couldn't help but sigh, "Being born in the same era as those geniuses must be incredibly stressful!"

After saying that, his spiritual energy surged.

The vortex of azure spiritual energy within his dantian began to circulate rapidly.

"Pop~"

A faint cracking sound emanated from within the body.

The next moment, spiritual energy surged wildly towards his room throughout the courtyard.

However, all other spiritual energy was blocked out, leaving only a wisp of pale blue spiritual energy that slowly flowed into his dantian and merged into the vortex.

The next moment, he reached the second level of Qi Refining!

He suddenly stood up, a sharp glint in his eyes.

His body still emanated waves of lingering spiritual energy.

After a long while, the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him gradually dissipated.

He has been able to control his growing power.

Ultimately, the Qi Refining stage is simply a process of accumulating spiritual energy, and it's not difficult to control.

He exhaled a breath of foul air, then made a hand seal to cast a cleansing spell.

A gust of wind swirled around him, carrying away the filth.

He then activated the Cicada Shell Concealing Breath Technique, gathering the excess spiritual energy in his body into a cicada shell in his dantian.

Therefore, unless a Foundation Establishment cultivator deliberately investigates, they generally won't notice any abnormalities in his body.

It can only be said that anything produced by the Qingming Sect is guaranteed to be of the highest quality.

Even the Breath Concealing Technique, which can be freely selected within the first level, is extraordinary.

After doing all this, he opened the panel to take a look;

......

After reading it, Chen Wen smiled slightly, quite satisfied with his efforts over the past two months.

His proficiency improved by leaps and bounds in the past two months, largely thanks to those two Taoist scriptures.

Even with his knowledge and comprehension, he still found it very difficult to understand, often taking several days to skim through it.

Sometimes, when faced with something that is difficult to grasp, one must repeatedly ponder and scrutinize it word by word, and go to the library to consult relevant classics.

But after each reading, I would go back and practice.

You will find that you have a deeper understanding of your own practice, a broader perspective, and the ability to apply what you've learned to other situations.

It can even be used to understand unrelated spells.

This made him always cherish those Taoist scriptures.

This scripture isn't something you can just read once and then forget about; you'll gain different insights depending on your state of mind when you read it.

As for his physical cultivation, he broke through a month ago. If he hadn't deliberately suppressed it, he might have already reached the third level of physical cultivation.

He just felt it was all too fast, and it made him a little uncomfortable.

He is waiting.

After confirming that Liang Jiu's cultivation was proceeding smoothly, he increased his speed.

It won't make a difference if we stay a few days longer.

His main focus was on improving his Qi cultivation level.

If he were content with being an outer disciple and choosing only a third-grade Purple Mansion cultivation technique upon graduation, then his current cultivation level would be sufficient.

But he was not satisfied.

He wanted to become an inner disciple.

That means it has to still be rated as Grade A at the end of the year.

That is, to meet the standard requirements for inner disciples, the mid-stage of Qi Refining, the higher the better.

The reason is that the second-generation disciples of the inner sect certainly have no shortage of resources, and some may even be able to reach the late stage of Qi Refining.

His current cultivation speed can only barely reach the average level.

Now that half of the year has passed, the time required to advance to the next level of cultivation will only increase.

He was limited by his aptitude. Even though he had more time to cultivate than ordinary people and his understanding of the techniques was deeper, he could only barely keep up.

We still need to work harder!

Chen Wen made up his mind and immediately sat cross-legged, preparing to continue his cultivation.

Just then, shouts suddenly came from the courtyard, "Brother Jingwen, come out quickly!"

Chen Wen was stunned when he heard this; it was Xiao Hongyu's voice.

Why is he shouting like that in the middle of the night instead of cultivating?!

Chen Wen took a step forward, and his figure instantly passed through the window and entered the courtyard.

"Hongyu, what's wrong?"

Xiao Hongyu was in the courtyard at this moment, her face filled with anxiety.

He was startled when Chen Wen suddenly appeared in front of him.

A hint of surprise appeared on his face. "Brother Jingwen, you've mastered the Wood Escape Technique too?!"

"I only managed to get started by sheer luck."

Chen Wen smiled slightly, his face humble and gentle.

"It's just that I'm taking advantage of the fact that Qingchi Peak is full of spiritual energy from plants and trees. If it were another place, I wouldn't be able to do it."

Chen Wen's words were only half true.

He said that it's true that the location benefits from the spiritual energy of plants, but it's false that it wouldn't work in another place.

The Yi Wood Escape Technique is an escape technique that can be performed by utilizing the spiritual energy of plants. It allows one to conceal their form by relying on plants, or to instantly escape thousands of miles away.

Of course, that was the distance when he was at his peak; now he can only move a few dozen meters.

However, if there is no spiritual energy from plants and trees around him, he can still use his own magical power.

However, one should always keep something in reserve and not reveal everything.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongyu's heart skipped a beat. If it were when she first entered the Daoist path, and he said it was luck, she would have truly believed it; if the Minor Cloud Rain Technique last month was luck, she would have believed it too; if drawing talismans was luck, she would still believe it; and if the Art of Manipulating Objects was still luck...

Does your family produce lucky charms?

At this moment, she felt no longer jealous.

When you are only slightly behind him, you will try to catch up; when the gap is small, you will compete; when the gap is large, you will be jealous.

However, now that the gap between her and Chen Wen is as wide as an chasm, she feels only calmness, and even a little bit of amusement.

I'm actually living under the same roof as someone like him. Maybe I can still maintain some goodwill with him once he's powerful enough.

Chen Wen couldn't have guessed that Xiao Hongyu had thought of so much in such a short time.

He didn't intend to guess.

His gaze was drawn to the firelight before him; it was Chu Feng's courtyard.

Jia Xu also stood at the door, his expression shifting between light and dark. He seemed somewhat angry, but he would occasionally glance at Chen Wen secretly before finally holding back.

Chen Wen was focused on his cultivation and hadn't paid attention to his surroundings.

Only then did he release his spiritual sense to investigate the situation inside the house.

Chu Feng was sitting cross-legged on a futon, his eyes closed, seemingly in great pain, with a strange flame faintly visible between his nostrils.

Clearly, the source of the firelight they noticed was here.

The surrounding temperature has risen significantly.

The papers on the table began to wrinkle, and the kettle began to boil.

Chen Wen crossed his index fingers with both hands, forming a water ripple pattern, and recited profound incantations:

"Clouds gather and rain falls... a swift and timely downpour!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Wen immediately pointed forward.

In an instant, streams of magical power surged from Chen Wen's body, connecting with the clouds on the horizon, gathering on the roof, and then a light drizzle fell.

Raindrops fall on the roof and are then evaporated into smoke that rises up.

However, the surrounding temperature has clearly dropped.

Chen Wen then maintained the Minor Cloud Rain Technique without letting it dissipate.

Seeing this, Jia Xu quickly stepped forward to flatter him:

"Brother Jingwen, your little cloud and rain technique has become quite advanced!"

Chen Wen humbly said:

"You're still far from it. I've heard that my senior brothers have already achieved great mastery or even perfection, able to create rain with a single finger without needing to perform hand seals or chant incantations. That's what you call profound!"

Jia Xu said enthusiastically, "Hey, Brother Jingwen, you're too modest. Those senior brothers have already entered the path. Among our group, not many have even started practicing magic yet, let alone you who have also mastered the art of escape. I admire you immensely!"

"I just got lucky and got an A grade. I practiced in my spare time as a reward. It's nothing to mention."

Chen Wen maintained his usual humble and polite demeanor.

This will give people the impression that if he does the opposite and does something outrageous in the future, no one will suspect him.

Jia Xu wanted to try to get closer to Chu Feng, but then there was a sudden commotion in Chu Feng's room, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

The flames between Chu Feng's nostrils had disappeared.

But his whole body started to burst into flames.

"this......"

Chen Wen quickly increased his magical output, unleashing the Lesser Cloud Rain Technique to extinguish the fire with a downpour.

"etc!"

Xiao Hongyu suddenly interrupted, her eyes filled with complex emotions, and exclaimed:

"Brother Chu... has awakened the Acquired Fire Spirit Body!"

.......
