This is a cultivation game, but its operation is terrible.

It also displays the number of spirit stones, which is 2.38, with both whole and fractional parts.

After thoroughly examining the backpack's functions, Jiang Liu turned his attention to the three magical artifacts given in the first recharge gift pack and opened them one by one.

[Lingxi Pendant]: A low-grade magic artifact that can withstand three attacks from Qi Refining Level 6 and below each day.

【Sunrise Sword】: A mid-grade magic weapon, extremely sharp, with its own spell 'Sunrise Strike', which can only be used by those with fire spirit roots.

[Spirit Jade]: A superior-grade magic artifact that increases cultivation speed by 10%.

The three magical artifacts, with offensive, defensive, and support capabilities, made Jiang Liu sigh inwardly. Although the first-time recharge gift pack was a rip-off, it had indeed truly ripped him off.

Is it worth it?

It's such a great deal! Even if you buy them at the original price, the value of these three magical artifacts far exceeds a few hundred spirit stones.

What's more, there are 3 titles and 35 Qi Refining Pills.

After casually putting on all three magical artifacts, Jiang Liu then checked the three titles.

There's not much to say about these three titles. The highest level, 'Slightly Accomplished,' only increases cultivation speed by 3%, so I used all of them and then equipped the 'Slightly Accomplished' title.

After putting on the equipment and title, he finally looked at the Qi Refining Pill.

[Qi Refining Pill]: Low-grade magic pill, which can increase cultivation value by 100 when used.

Use all 35 Qi Refining Pills!

His backpack was instantly empty. When he opened the character panel again, the realm column had changed to Qi Refining Level 2 (500/4000)!

Jiang Liu stared intently at the realm column, his expression somewhat dazed, as if he could hardly believe it.

Is this the second level of Qi Refining?

Is this cultivation of immortality?

This seems a bit too frivolous.

Jiang Liu's heart pounded. He felt like he was dreaming, and subconsciously switched out of the cultivation era and back to reality.

He looked down at his body, which was sitting cross-legged on the desk, and touched it up and down, but there was no change.

Well, it's not synchronized yet; in reality, we're still just mortals.

Sync now?

Jiang Liu hesitated, glancing at Li Dongze, who was only a meter away from him, and then at the other classmates, before suppressing his desire to synchronize now.

Others might not be able to tell that he's at the second level of Qi Refining, but he still has three magical artifacts on him, one of which is a longsword. Once synchronized, it will appear on his body, which is inexplicable and will inevitably cause a disturbance.

The fourth server of Immortal Cultivation Era has only been open for less than an hour, and you already have three magical artifacts. Where did you get them?

Buy the first recharge bonus?

Where do the spirit stones for the first recharge come from?

If people find out that he's playing the discounted version of "Cultivation Era," that would be terrible; malice would come pouring in.

He used to be jealous of the super-rich players who spent money like crazy when he played mobile games, let alone now that it's a real-life version of cultivating immortality.

The problem isn't inequality itself, but rather injustice; that's the point.

After the initial commotion in the class, many students quieted down, closing their eyes and making bitter faces, obviously encountering a great predicament.

I started at Qi Refining Level 0, and the spirit stones I got from signing in couldn't buy anything. I couldn't even beat story 1-1. How am I supposed to play this game?

"Damn it! Why isn't there a recharge function? Can't I just buy spirit stones with my own money?!"

Li Dongze, standing nearby, shouted impatiently, opening his eyes and grumbling as he stared intently at Jiang Liu. He gritted his teeth and said, "Good brother, sell me 1 spirit stone for 3000 yuan, I need your help!"

This price is already far above the market value of spirit stones; under normal circumstances, Jiang Liu would definitely be tempted.

But now, he can spend 1 spirit stone as if it were 100 spirit stones, so how could he possibly take it out to sell?

Jiang Liu shook his head decisively and said with a smirk, "The production of spirit stones is extremely low when the server first opens, so anyone with a bit of ambition won't sell spirit stones."

"You bastard, you have money but still can't get spirit stones?"

Li Dongze glared at Jiang Liu, jumped off his desk, and shouted loudly in the classroom, "I'm buying spirit stones for 3000 yuan, and I'll buy them all!"

His voice was extremely loud, attracting the attention of all the students. Several students from poor families hesitated.

There's no rush to cultivate immortality. How about we exchange some money first to improve our lives?

3000块1灵石，每天签到送5灵石，一天1万5！

After the arrival of the Immortal Cultivation Era, those who do not dream of cultivating immortality can truly relax at home and make a fortune just by signing in every day.

Sure enough, some students were still interested.

"Brother Ze, I'll sell one!"

"I'll sell them too! One a day!"

In the blink of an eye, several classmates surrounded Li Dongze, and they transferred money on the spot, which actually allowed him to receive a few spirit stones.

"Li Dongze!"

The homeroom teacher's voice rang out. He frowned at Li Dongze and said in an unfriendly tone, "You better behave yourself and get back to your seat!"

Li Dongze shrank back, chuckled, and obediently climbed back onto his desk. He gave Jiang Liu a smug look and whispered, "How about it? Call me Brother Ze, and I'll give you a Qi Refining Pill after I buy the first recharge gift pack."

"hehe."

Jiang Liu chuckled to himself, thinking, "I just ate 35 Qi Refining Pills. If you call me 'Father Jiang,' I'll save a few for you."

"You won't call me that, huh? There will be a day when you have to acknowledge someone as your elder brother."

Li Dongze didn't care about Jiang Liu's attitude and happily returned to the Immortal Cultivation Era to buy his first recharge.

Jiang Liu's interest was piqued by the extravagance of spending tens of thousands of yuan to buy spirit stones in the blink of an eye.

Didn't he say he wanted his dad to collect several thousand spirit stones?

These thousands of spirit stones are better spent on sweeping through the shop than on me...

Jiang Liu was thinking to himself that he would take some items from the mall's gift packs, sell them to Li Dongze at a discount, and then resell the spirit stones he received at a 0.1% discount.

One spirit stone is worth only one spirit stone in other people's hands, but in his hands it is worth 100 spirit stones!

Buying and selling game products – that's a viable business!

Just as Jiang Liu was setting his sights on his wealthy classmate, the homeroom teacher, sitting on the podium, spoke up again.

"Alright, everyone, switch out of your cultivation era. I have something to say!"

The homeroom teacher's voice echoed in the classroom, and all the students turned their puzzled gazes toward him.

"It's good news."

The homeroom teacher said with a smile, "I just received a notice that the school's teachers and leaders have pooled their money to buy the 'Gathering Yuan Technique' and its rubbing board worth 98 spirit stones from the mall. Thirty-three copies have been delivered to my backpack, and everyone is lining up to collect them!"

"With the Absorption Technique, you can advance to the first level of Qi Refining much faster. Only then will you truly begin your cultivation journey!"

The Art of Gathering Yuan!

The Na Yuan Technique in the shop is a low-grade cultivation method, but it's far superior to the Breathing Technique that comes with their skill bar!

Upon hearing what the homeroom teacher said, the whole class couldn't help but cheer and hurriedly jumped off their desks to line up.

The school is so generous!

Jiang Liu secretly gave it a thumbs up after hearing this. Just as he got down from his desk, the homeroom teacher added another sentence.

"By the way, the students who came to collect the Na Yuan Technique, please transfer 1 spirit stone to me. This money is to be returned to the teachers and leaders."

Jiang Liu: "......"

Chapter 3 focuses on the game character, with the real physical body as a secondary element.

Jiang Liu reluctantly opened the [Social] function of the Immortal Cultivation Era, added his homeroom teacher as a friend, traded 1 spirit stone to him, and exchanged it for a rubbing of the "Na Yuan Jue".

He really didn't want to switch, but he couldn't resist the pressure from the homeroom teacher. All the other students were happy to switch, but he wasn't. What did he mean by that?

You don't even want the "Gathering Essence Technique" worth 98 spirit stones? Are you still going to cultivate immortality?

Don't drag the class down!

What could Jiang Liu do? He could only silently comfort himself. Even if he bought the "Na Yuan Jue" from the store, it would cost 0.98 spirit stones. It was a small loss, not a big loss.

At the same time, the school's actions also broadened his thinking.

Schools can sell printed copies of martial arts techniques to students as customers, and so can he!

He bought the cultivation manual from the mall at a 0.1 discount, then printed a few copies and sold them at a discount, making a huge profit!

He can make a huge profit by reselling anything from the game store!

Jiang Liu's mind was suddenly clear. He turned around and sat back down at his desk, switched to the Immortal Cultivation Era, and directly opened the [Shop]. The shop was filled with a dazzling array of goods, divided into several categories. He immediately spotted the rubbings in the item category.

[Low-grade Imprint]: Can copy magic-level cultivation techniques, can be used 10 times, the copy lasts for 10 days, costs 12 spirit stones, and can only be purchased once per week.

Jiang Liu: "??????"

Well, the weekly purchase limit shattered his dream of making a fortune by selling the rubbings of martial arts techniques.

However, his focus was not on the purchase restrictions, but on their duration.

The replica can only be used for... 10 days?!

Jiang Liu paused for a moment, then quickly opened his backpack and clicked on "The Art of Gathering Yuan".

[Replica of the Na Yuan Jue]

Rank: Low-grade martial arts technique

Brief Introduction: Absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into oneself, circulate this energy throughout the body, cleanse the marrow and refine the meridians to achieve Qi Refining, increasing cultivation speed by 10%.

Usage period: 10 days

Depend on!

It's definitely not permanent!

Jiang Liu was speechless. He had discovered this ridiculous point, and the other students had also noticed it, expressing their dissatisfaction one after another.

"Wait a minute, teacher, this Yuan-Gathering Technique can only be used for 10 days!"
