After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

Seeing the bewildered expression on the boy's face, which didn't seem like an act at all, Ding Wan suppressed her anger.

Xu Ze twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a bitter expression: "Teacher, my parents passed away a long time ago, and I have no family connections."

"You have the bloodline of a rogue cultivator?" Ding Wan asked, slightly surprised.

"...Does someone who grew up eating loose rice count as a rogue cultivator?"

The air was silent for a moment.

Ding Wan pointed her fingers like a sword, and a wisp of divine sense probed into Xu Ze's body through her fingertips. After a careful examination, her surprised face returned to its cold expression.

She initially thought this guy had run away from some cultivation family.

He really was just an ordinary person with no background.

How dare he talk to me like that before?

Hmph, what a fool who doesn't know what's good for him.

"Your spiritual veins are extremely mixed and chaotic. Even if you manage to mutate your physique with a one in ten million chance, it would be futile to try to cultivate using this orthodox breathing method."

"No way? I clearly felt the true energy just now."

Upon hearing Ding Wan's words, Xu Ze hurriedly defended himself, describing the mysterious sensation he had just experienced.

“That only shows that your comprehension is not bad,” Ding Wan’s long eyelashes trembled slightly, but her tone remained cold. “But with your breathing efficiency, it will take you at least ten years to refine Qi, and you can forget about building a foundation for the Dao even at a hundred years old.”

Her gaze fell on Xu Ze's unwilling face, and her tone changed slightly:

"unless……"

"Unless what?"

Xu Ze knew there was more to come, and he couldn't wait to express his determination: "I can endure any hardship, just tell me!"

Have you not heard the saying, "Heaven never closes off all paths"?

As long as I want to walk, the road is right under my feet!

However, Ding Wan simply looked at him calmly, her lips slightly parted:

"Unless you cultivate the Satin Meridian Technique when Yin and Yang are in harmony, you will not only avoid going into qi deviation, but you will also achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"In this way, even if one were to cultivate Qi for a single day, it would not be in vain."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ze became even more excited. "Teacher! Please teach me quickly..."

Before he could finish speaking...

In an instant, a chilling killing intent enveloped him, as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

Xu Ze shuddered, immediately swallowed, and was about to back down and say he wouldn't study anymore.

But the next second, Ding Wan seemed to realize something, her fierce aura instantly dissipated, and she smiled, a smile tinged with mockery:

"Boy, don't you... know that you're powerless even if you want to?"

The room fell silent again.

After carefully considering the four words "harmony of yin and yang" and combining them with Ding Wan's words, Xu Ze finally understood and his expression gradually darkened.

An indescribable sense of frustration welled up inside me.

Damn it!

Lao Tzu started cultivating immortality precisely to cure this problem.

To be cured, one must cultivate immortality.

To cultivate immortality, one must first be cured?

What's the difference between this and a job posting that requires both recent graduates and work experience?!

"Alright, I'll say it again, you only have one month."

"If we can't practice Qi cultivation, then we're even."

Ding Wan straightened her clothes and walked towards the door, seemingly in a pleasant mood. Xu Ze took in her several attempts to burst out laughing.

"Also, I've already made an exception to save you once, but if there's a next time..."

As she was leaving, she didn't forget to turn back and wink.

"You'll have to pay more."

boom.

The door was closed.

The boy was left alone, sitting helplessly on the bed.

For the first time, Xu Ze truly felt how filled with grief and indignation the male protagonists in novels were after being humiliated.

This grudge... must be avenged!

"and many more!"

Suddenly, something occurred to him.

Chapter 8 Lingmi

"Who says you can only acquire true energy by meditating step by step?" A flash of inspiration struck Xu Ze, like a lightning bolt cleaving through the darkness.

This is a world of cultivation!

Aren't those celestial fruits, spiritual plants, birds, and beasts, which are born from heaven and earth, also imbued with spiritual energy?

"As long as I can get more external aids, like pills, what's the point of practicing breathing exercises?"

Xu Ze did not adhere to the most primitive methods of cultivation, such as following nature and achieving harmony between man and nature; he considered himself unworthy of such a thing.

Since this path is blocked, he will try another one.

Times have changed!

Besides, medicinal supplements and dietary supplements are not necessarily worse than natural cultivation methods.

"The problem is, how do we obtain these materials?"

Although Xu Ze is now wealthy, his wealth is limited to the mortal realm.

Cultivators do not accept silver notes, but only spirit stones, which are divided into three grades: superior, middle, and inferior.

He only had a pitiful few low-grade spirit stones; it would be impossible for him to buy such things in the cultivation world.

Thinking about it carefully, he still found it strange that Ding Wan would be interested in the money of ordinary people.

Aside from her, there shouldn't be another cultivator like her.

"This is another character with many suspicious points, so let's put him aside for now."

Xu Ze put his thoughts aside and tossed and turned in bed, unable to figure out how to get more spirit stones.

Should I continue with the [Thief] class?

No, that's absolutely impossible!

Those powerful cultivators all have magical treasures like storage bags, unlike Taoists who lock their money in cabinets!

Moreover, these powerful figures possess extraordinary cultivation; before you even get close to their cave dwellings, you'll be obliterated by the restrictions or slapped into ashes.

"The only hope is that we can find a way to make money after we join the Biyang Sect."

After a long while, Xu Ze made up his mind.

Opportunities are scarce in the mortal realm, but things are different in the immortal sects.

If you can restart indefinitely, you'll eventually find a way.

Perhaps there is a stable way to obtain elixirs.

As long as he can heal his body after refining his Qi, his 'Extreme Yang Body' will have a purpose, and then he can travel a thousand miles a day.

Involuntarily, Xu Ze recalled Ding Wan's contemptuous expression from earlier.

Once he has mastered the immortal body, he will definitely avenge his previous humiliation!

"Only by training your physique, opening your immortal meridians, and risking your life can you seize an opportunity!"

"I train my muscles and bones twice a day; my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens..."

Before we knew it, the sun was setting.

After finishing their dinner, the disciples of the 'Preparatory Gate' downstairs chanted slogans in unison.

The deafening noise made it difficult for Xu Ze to calm down, so he simply rolled over and got out of bed.

When he got downstairs, he realized that these people were doing more than just shouting slogans at night.

At this moment, Sun Dehai stood at the very front, shouting as he performed the movements with fluid grace.

Stretch, kick, jump...

The crowd behind him, lined up in several rows, followed suit, trying their best to keep up with their senior brother's pace.

Xu Ze looked at this bizarre scene and felt a sense of déjà vu.

"...Radio calisthenics?"

Looking at the so-called 'body-refining method' that everyone was talking about, he didn't know where to begin criticizing it.

This world of cultivation is truly outrageous.

So far, no normal person has been found.

After a large group of people had done gymnastics for half an hour, Sun Dehai finally stopped and took the lead in relaxing all the muscles in his body.

To Xu Ze's surprise, his bulky body was surprisingly agile.

"Fellow disciples, that concludes today's cultivation."

"The rest of the time will be the same as usual. Please feel free to share your insights on cultivation..."

Sun Dehai wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around, and when he saw the new 'junior brother' who had joined today, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Junior Brother Xu! I didn't expect that while you said you were tired, your body betrayed you and you joined in. Even I, your senior brother, can't match your dedication to the Dao!"
