Are you really trying to cultivate immortality? Something feels off.

The Feng Hua Sect's library is significantly larger than that of the Qing Yu Sect.

Xie Weixing likes to go for a stroll whenever he has free time.

It's just too big; it's easy to get lost.

It felt like walking through a maze, and all the bookshelves looked the same. As I walked, I lost track of where I was.

System: Host.

Aside from howling and wailing a few times when it's causing trouble, it rarely says a word otherwise.

Xie Weixing asked in confusion: Hmm?

System: There is a spiritual technique manual in the corner of the top shelf on your right.

The use of spiritual power is not allowed inside the library, and Xie Weixing has not learned any spatial magic, so he could only use an old ladder to climb up with great difficulty.

I was covered in dust and dirt, and felt like I had a miserable life.

However, the system wasn't lying to him; there really was one.

Place it in the far corner.

It was covered in a thick layer of dust, and looked like it hadn't been touched for many years.

The book cover vaguely had the words "Buddha" and "life" written on it.

It doesn't look like a magic formula; it looks more like a standard reading material for some kind of pyramid scheme.

Xie Weixing asked in confusion: What's wrong with this book?

System: Awesome.

Xie Weixing: ...

Such simple and unadorned words.

He opened it and quickly glanced through it.

strangeness.

A proper spiritual incantation should have a first level, a second level, a third level... a first form, a second form, a third form...

Just like the "Holy Seal Spiritual Technique," he only managed to learn the first move, the Holy Wheel, by meditating for a stick of incense at the last minute. He was only able to defeat Hua Ling by overwhelming his spiritual power and restraining his spiritual roots.

However, this nameless manual contains only one move, called Bodhi Ice Sprout.

Even with careful reading of the faded characters, one can only vaguely discern that this is a set of ice-based spells.

He frowned slightly.

Why is the old system suddenly helping me?

System: ...Because you're not following the storyline.

Xie Weixing curled her lips: Shouldn't you continue to persuade me?

System: I've tried to persuade you! I've tried my best! I've been working really hard, but you won't listen, what can I do? I...

Xie Weixing: I really want to tie your mouth shut.

system:……

System: So go ahead and train if you want. I hope you'll have a better chance of surviving when you face the main characters.

Xie Weixing paused for a moment, feeling a touch of emotion.

He said sincerely, "Don't worry, Lao Tong, I'm the strictest father in the main characters."

system:……

I'm begging you.

"I forgot to tell you that the connection was made in a hurry that night." The Azure Lion transformed into a stream of water. "In the state of soul resonance, my spiritual power can help you cultivate."

Xie Weixing was still playing with the lion cubs and didn't take it to heart: "Oh..."

"You have five spiritual roots. Although you have a natural need for spiritual power, your spiritual veins have been improved, which is equivalent to discarding the disadvantages and keeping only the advantages."

"Your spiritual veins can store up to five times more spiritual energy than an ordinary person. In other words, although you are only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, your overall level of spiritual energy is comparable to that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"Within two months, I can help you reach the Golden Core Realm. Your initial strength will be comparable to the mid-stage, and you should be able to fight that little girl from the Azure Serpent Clan to a draw."

"Logically speaking, after a cultivator forms their core, they can go to Ten Thousand Swords Mountain to choose a suitable magic weapon... By the way, what do you cultivate?"

Xie Weixing thought he had misheard: "Huh?"

Two months. From the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the Golden Core stage.

Even if he were mentally ill or a gambling addict, he could still tell how unbelievable those words were.

Even the Dragon Clan's Crown Prince only reached Foundation Establishment at age 12 and Core Formation at age 16, taking a full four years. This speed makes him the greatest genius in the cultivation world in the past thousand years.

Xie Weixing raised an eyebrow and murmured, "Big brother, you're a top lecturer at New Oriental Education, and you got into Tsinghua University in a hundred days of hard work."

"What?" the lion asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing," Xie Weixing replied obediently.

The lion appeared in its true form and gently took the cub from his arms: "Sit down, I will transfer my spiritual power to you."

Xie Weixing sat down, made a hand seal to go to the Hall of Longevity, and informed Feng Jilan that he would be in seclusion in the back mountain for the next few days, that he was not dead, and that there was no need to look for him.

The lion closed its eyes, and the runes between its brows flashed lightly. The entire cave became gentle, and a continuous stream of water-based spiritual energy permeated the air, entering Xie Weixing's Tianyuan acupoint and gathering in the spiritual sea in his lower abdomen.

Xie Weixing felt as comfortable and refreshed as if he were taking a hot bath.

He was filled with spiritual energy, feeling light and airy, and his cultivation speed began to increase by a hundredfold.

"You will stay here for the next two months. Once the water-based spiritual field is formed, the spiritual energy will only become more and more concentrated. If you leave, all your efforts will be in vain."

"Are you sleeping?"

"I won't sleep. My water-based spiritual energy is very gentle; cultivating is also a form of rest."

"We're eating."

The lion took out the roasted meat.

Looking at the colorful and fragrant but tasteless thing, Xie Weixing chuckled.

"I suddenly decided to fast."

Azure Lion:

"Huh?" Shen Chunri sat in a chair, looking at Tan Suiting, who had come to the Sun and Moon Palace alone. "Where's Xie Weixing? Didn't he come with you?"

Tan Suiting didn't seem to be in a particularly good mood and ignored her.

He waited for Xie Weixing at the door for a long time today, only to find that Xie was not there when he opened the door.

He thought the other party wouldn't wait for him to come to class, but when he arrived at the Sun and Moon Palace, he didn't see anyone.

Feng Yu said, "He is in seclusion in the White Stone Cave on the back mountain, and it is estimated that he will not finish until the sect election begins."

Shen Chunri felt instantly distressed.

It's so rare to find a fellow disciple with whom I can truly connect.

No one passes her notes during class anymore, and no one discusses what to eat with her after class.

And why did Xie Weixing also go into seclusion to entangle her?

Tan Suiting, standing next to him, seemed even less interested and appeared somewhat distracted during the lecture.

It's like when you were a kid and finally made a new friend. You were having so much fun, but after only a couple of days, the other person wanted to leave.

I'm very reluctant to leave. I'm very sad.

When you repeat the same things every day, time flies by.

Xie Weixing meditated during the day to study the nameless manual, and at night, the Azure Lion would transfer spiritual power to him while he rested.

He can't practice the Holy Seal Spiritual Technique for the time being because he can't use the Light Spiritual Root right now, so his progress is still stuck at the first form.

I learned that nameless technique very quickly; as the system said, it was indeed very powerful.

Early, middle, and late stages of Foundation Establishment. After a little over a month, I felt I was about to form my Core.

He wasn't worried about hitting a bottleneck, since his cultivation speed was already incredibly fast. He simply carried the little cub and strolled around the cave.

The breakthrough came very suddenly.

While meditating, I felt a warm sensation in my spiritual sea, and then I fell into deep meditation.

A vast surge of spiritual energy.

"Bang--!"

A hole was blown out of the White Stone Cave.

It was late at night and all was quiet, so there was a lot of noise.

Feeling the inner core rampaging triumphantly within his body, Xie Weixing raised an eyebrow.

The lion looked at him, then looked at its own starry sky ceiling.

"You've reached the Core Formation stage."

Xie Weixing subconsciously raised his hand, and a stream of cold water flowed in his palm, surrounded by a thin layer of ice.

He didn't even have time to be happy.

A scorching aura instantly approached, followed by a cold, furious female voice that slowly rang out.

"Who is disturbing my mother's seclusion?"
