Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

Late at night.

Xu Zhiyi studied late into the night. After Tang Qingxi left, she diligently completed two sets of English test papers, then checked the answers, corrected the wrong questions, and after finishing, she glanced at the time and realized it was already 11:30.

He put down his pen and tidied the table.

Then, with a slight thought, he brought up the game panel.

On the alchemy interface, the purple-hued alchemy furnace was still slowly rotating, and the flames at the bottom of the furnace remained as fierce as ever, scorching the bottom of the furnace.

[Progress of Basic Qi Refining Pill: 99%]

almost.

After three days and 5540 yuan spent on his beginner-level Qi Refining Pill, it is finally almost finished.

Xu Zhiyi stared at the number, feeling as if time itself had slowed down.

The alchemy process seems to be stuck at 99%.

He had no interest in doing anything else, so he just stared at the alchemy furnace and waited patiently.

A while later.

The progress of alchemy finally changed.

"100%!"

The alchemy panel trembled slightly, the fire beneath it went out instantly, and a denser, more intense cloud of neon-colored vapor seeped out from the gaps in the lid.

【Ding! 】

[Refining complete!]

Congratulations to the player for successfully crafting a beginner-level Qi Refining Pill!

You have obtained 1 Beginner Qi Refining Pill.

[Congratulations to the player for completing the Path to Immortality stage quest - Refining a Beginner Qi Refining Pill (1/1)]

[Stage Rewards: Experience Points +500, Silver Coins +10]

As a series of prompts popped up, the lid of the alchemy furnace on the panel automatically opened, and a light green pill rose from the furnace, round and smooth, its surface radiating a glow.

With a thought, Xu Zhiyi conjured the pill into his palm.

The pill was about the size of a longan, hard to the touch, and a little hot. It was light green in color, with a smooth and lustrous surface, and a faint glow.

Xu Zhiyi held it to her nose and smelled it, and surprisingly, she could still smell a faint fragrance of grass and trees.

At this moment, information about the elixir automatically appeared in front of him.

[Item]: Beginner Qi Refining Pill

[Quality]: Good product

[Type]: Elixir

[Effect]: After taking it, it can slightly improve one's cultivation level and total spiritual energy.

[Requirement]: Only usable by Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

Not bad, the first pill turned out green!

The high-quality Qi Refining Pill is said to slightly improve one's cultivation level and total spiritual energy, but it's unclear exactly how much it can improve.

Never mind, let's give it a try first!

Xu Zhiyi thought for a moment, then put the light blue pill into her mouth. Unexpectedly, the Qi Refining Pill melted as soon as it entered her mouth, turning into a cool liquid that flowed down her throat, making her feel cool from her mouth to her stomach.

However, the cooling sensation quickly disappeared.

His stomach began to feel warm.

Immediately afterwards, this warm sensation slowly spread from my abdomen throughout my body, flowing to every part of my limbs and bones, completely different from the burning and intense feeling when I applied the acupoints.

He felt very comfortable and warm, like he was soaking in a hot spring. He felt lazy all over and didn't want to move a single toe while lying in bed. Every pore was relaxed.

This is an extremely relaxing feeling.

Very cool!

The pain was completely different from that when I applied the injection.

This feeling lasted for about five minutes.

Then, everything returned to calm.

Xu Zhiyi could clearly feel that the warm energy transformed from the Qi Refining Pill had been absorbed by his body and eventually flowed into his dantian, merging with the spiritual energy.

He opened his eyes and brought up the game panel.

[Player]: Xu Zhiyi

[Level]: Lv.6 (2830/5400)

[Realm Level]: First Level of Qi Refining (9/100)

[Spiritual Qi]: 890/890

【property】:

Intelligence: 7

Physical fitness: 9

Root: 6

Spirit: 9

[Free attribute points]: 0

……

The level of understanding has changed!

He went from Qi Refining Level 1 (0/100) to Qi Refining Level 1 (12/100)!

The upper limit of spiritual energy has also increased from 800 to 890!

And they even replenished it!

He used quite a bit these past two days, and there wasn't even half left.

As a result, after consuming a single Elemental Qi Refining Pill, he was immediately at "full mana"!

In other words, this Qi Refining Pill can also be used as a "blue bottle"!

One pill, three effects!

This is no ordinary pill; it's a divine pill meant to repay a debt of gratitude!

Xu Zhiyi composed herself and sat up in bed.

He first flexed his wrists and felt that he was in better shape than ever before. Then, with a thought, the black pen on the table flew up with a "whoosh".

Sword Control Technique activated!

Perhaps because the pen was relatively light, it was able to float steadily in mid-air under his spiritual control.

Then he manipulated the pen to move around, flying it in circles in the room. Although the pen wobbled a bit during this process, he still did a good job overall.

It feels much smoother than before!

Xu Zhiyi maneuvered the ballpoint pen, making it fly around the room twice, then controlled it to sprint at high speed, treating the pen like a flying sword and the door panel like an enemy.

The pen broke in no time.

He, however, enjoyed it.

After playing for about half a minute, I consumed more than 400 points of spiritual energy.

He then reluctantly put the pen back in the pen holder, intending to replace the refill so he could continue using it.

Then, he took out a tungsten steel harpoon.

With a slight thought, the Sword Control Technique was activated once again.

The harpoon shot into the air instantly. It was indeed more difficult to control than the pen from before, but it was still as easy as using his own arm. Under his mental control, it accelerated and shot towards the door.

"Knock!"

A muffled thud.

The harpoon was firmly embedded in the wooden door.

Xu Zhiyi went forward to take a look and found that the harpoon had penetrated nearly two centimeters into the wooden door.

It seems to have already begun to possess lethality.

Xu Zhiyi nodded in satisfaction.

He had tried doing that before, but he was lucky if it didn't fall to the ground, let alone nail it into the wood.

It seems that the improvement of one's realm and spiritual energy also affects the Sword Control Technique.

Oh, and intelligence.

Among the four basic attributes, Intelligence can affect cultivation techniques, skills, specializations, meditation, and so on. I should consider adding attribute points to Intelligence when I upgrade next time.

However, the most important thing now is to refine another batch of pills as soon as possible!

He had already seen the effects of the Qi Refining Pill. One good-quality, low-level Qi Refining Pill increased his progress by 12 points. At this rate, he only needed to consume seven or eight more pills to break through to the second level of Qi Refining.

The upper limit of spiritual energy has also increased by 90 points.

Most importantly, this Qi-refining pill can also be used as a "blue bottle".

Xu Zhiyi felt it was worth it the more she thought about it.

For a cost of only 5540 yuan, you can get the triple effects of realm improvement, increased spiritual energy limit, and rapid mana regeneration. The cost-effectiveness is ridiculously high.

This elixir must be refined, and the more the better!

However, the only material he currently needs for alchemy is Polygonatum.

We are still missing top-grade ginseng, top-grade Ganoderma lucidum, and morning dew.

The morning dew is easy to collect; we can just go to the park to collect it tomorrow morning.

However, top-grade ginseng and top-grade Ganoderma lucidum are not cheap.

The wild ginseng I bought last time cost 2169 yuan, and the wild Ganoderma lucidum cost 1899 yuan, which added up to more than 4,000 yuan. I wonder if it would be cheaper at a traditional Chinese medicine shop.

Anyway, there's no rush, we can go take a look tomorrow.

Xu Zhiyi glanced at her bank balance.

Zhao Wenyuan gave 98,000 yuan, which, together with the remaining 4,000 yuan, brought the total to 102,000 yuan. However, he hired a caregiver for his grandmother and paid another 24,000 yuan, leaving him with 78,000 yuan.

I reckon once I buy all the materials, I'll be back to square one.

But you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!

The effects of this Qi Refining Pill are undeniable. If he takes a few more, he can break through to the second level of Qi Refining. At that time, he will have more spiritual Qi and higher attributes, making money will be a piece of cake.

He has a magic weapon called "Money God" by his side!

Are you still worried about not making money?

Moreover, the silver in his storage bag has already accumulated to 45 taels!

This is all his financial reserves!
