World version update

Chapter 6 Qi Training and Revenge

"If the calculation is reduced, poverty will occur, and there will be many worries. People will hate you, and punishment and disaster will follow. Good luck will avoid you, and evil stars will bring disaster to you. If the calculation is exhausted, you will die."

"It is not that others do evil and others suffer the consequences; one reaps the fruits of one's own karma, and this is true for all living beings."

As Lu Yan visualized the Heart Sutra of the Red Lotus Karma Fire Sutra, his five senses seemed to fall silent, and only the words of the Heart Sutra kept echoing in his consciousness.

The world began to become hazy and blurry, as if the original reality had faded away and turned into an empty void.

Suddenly, a barely detectable light appeared in the void, and then more and more light points gathered together, like countless stars in the night sky.

These infinite light spots eventually turned into an invisible airflow, lingering in front of Lu Yan.

Lu Yan instinctively began to practice the method of drawing in air, drawing the invisible airflow into his body.

In an instant, Lu Yan seemed to feel that every cell in his body was trembling. Just the nourishment of spiritual energy made this mortal body that had been growing for more than 20 years begin to transform.

There was not even enough time for it to circulate according to the Zhoutian route map, and the invisible energy was completely absorbed by the body.

Coming out of his practice state, Lu Yan opened his eyes.

"Was that spiritual energy just now?"

There was a hint of curiosity in Lu Yan's eyes.

Although he had used spirit stones and ungraded spirit talismans, he could not truly utilize spiritual energy without practicing any martial arts.

So this was the first time that Lu Yan captured spiritual energy through his own practice.

Feeling the changes in my body after absorbing the spiritual energy, I found that the filth was not eliminated as I imagined, nor was there any obvious change. I just vaguely felt that my body seemed to be a lot more relaxed, which should be because the amount of spiritual energy was too little.

Glancing at the time, it took Lu Yan three hours from the first time he visualized the Heart Sutra to drawing the Qi into his body.

Seeing this time, Lu Yan couldn't help but frown, and the hint of joy that had just risen up in his heart disappeared in an instant.

“Drawing Qi into the body is only the most basic step in cultivation. The next step is to continuously absorb large amounts of spiritual energy, using the spiritual energy to cleanse the body and shed the mortal body. When the body can no longer absorb spiritual energy, the spiritual energy can be moved according to the Zhou Tian route map.

As long as you can make the spiritual energy circulate around the body, you will be able to generate the first ray of magic power and truly enter the realm of Qi training!"

"The Zhoutian route map of the Red Lotus Karma Fire Sutra is much more complicated than the popular stuff like the Changchun Gong. It will definitely take a lot of time to complete the Zhoutian.

But now, after three hours, I have only attracted a ray of spiritual energy, which is still a long way from refining my body, not to mention the subsequent spiritual energy circulation."

Those guys in Lingfufang were able to complete their Qi training by practicing Changchun Gong alone, so there was no reason why Lu Yan, who had better conditions and better skills, would make such a slow progress in his practice.

"Could it be because the concentration of spiritual energy in the urban version is too low?"

Lu Yan could only think of this possibility.

What he lacks most now is time. According to the progress of version updates, the next version update will take about three months.

Three days have passed now, and the road of cultivation has just begun. If we really wait until the world version is updated before entering the Qi training realm, we will inevitably bear more risks.

It is highly likely that other versions do not have such a stable training environment as the urban version.

"In this case, we can only choose to spend money!"

Lu Yan decisively took out the spirit stones he had prepared in advance. Thirty spirit stones formed a circle around his body. He even held two spirit stones in his hands and started his second practice.

The last time he practiced, Lu Yan first sensed a piece of void, then captured the light spots and waited for them to merge into a stream of spiritual energy before he completed the process of drawing the energy into his body.

But this time, as soon as he entered the state of visualization, Lu Yan realized that his body was already filled with countless light spots. With just a thought, the spiritual energy was drawn into his body and was easily absorbed by his body.

For the first time, Lu Yan felt that cultivation was so simple. Afterwards, Lu Yan began to practice day and night. A large amount of spiritual energy cleansed his body, making Lu Yan's body more and more compatible with spiritual energy.

Impurities in the body were gradually expelled, and some minor ailments left over from the various tortures he had endured in the previous three months were also completely eliminated, allowing Lu Yan's body to recover to an unprecedented peak state.

After the eleventh day of formal practice, Lu Yan completed the cleansing of his body after consuming eight spirit stones.

After that, it enters the most critical stage of guiding Qi through the body.

In Lu Yan's opinion, physical body cleansing is purely a slow and painstaking process. As long as one knows how to draw Qi into the body and possesses enough spiritual energy, it can be easily accomplished.

However, there are so many things involved in guiding Qi through the meridians. The state of mind, will, and the roadmap of the meridians are all indispensable.

It is already very difficult to control the spiritual energy that enters the body, not to mention circulating it along the complex meridians in the body.

It took Lu Yan a whole day just to gain initial control of the spiritual energy.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to guide the circulation of spiritual energy throughout the body, and it must be practiced in conjunction with visualization of the Heart Sutra.

In fact, normally speaking, to practice high-quality skills, one needs to join a sect and let the master actively comb the meridians before practicing.

Lu Yan did not receive such treatment and could only rely on spirit stones and water-grinding skills to keep trying.

Time continued until the third month of the urban version, and finally there was light at the end of the tunnel.

In the guest bedroom, most of the beds and furniture originally placed there were thrown away by Lu Yan and converted into a practice room.

Lu Yan sat cross-legged on the ground, with his five hearts facing the sky, reciting the "Red Lotus Karma Fire Sutra".

In more than two months, Lu Yan completed a complete transformation. His body, which had stopped growing, grew several centimeters taller again. His thin body did not have the clear muscles of a fitness enthusiast, but he was much stronger than ordinary people.

The skin on his handsome face was as white as that of a baby, and his whole body exuded a calm and ethereal temperament. As his skills were working, a milky white halo enveloped Lu Yan, as if he was about to escape from this mundane world and ascend to heaven.

And inside Lu Yan's body, the circulation of the Qi has reached the most critical step.

When the spiritual energy passed through the last meridian, the circulation of the meridians became smooth in an instant, and a trace of magical power condensed in Lu Yan's body.

The next moment, a breeze blew in the training room, and a large amount of spiritual energy was instantly drawn from the spirit stones placed around. Lines of spiritual energy rushed into Lu Yan's body frantically, following the circulation of the opened meridians, and transformed into the purest magic power.

As the two spirit stones were forcibly drained, the breeze finally subsided.

When I opened my eyes, the entire dark training room seemed to turn into daylight in an instant, but then it returned to its previous tranquility.

"Qi training stage."

Lu Yan stretched out his right hand, and the magic power in his body flowed, and the storage bag on his waist opened automatically. Under the guidance of the magic power, spirit stones and talismans fell into Lu Yan's palm one by one.

At this moment, Lu Yan truly stepped into the door of cultivation and became a genuine cultivator.

Feeling extremely excited, Lu Yan looked at the virtual screen in front of him. The version update progress had reached 72.3%, and most of the time the urban version had stayed in place had passed.

"Now that I have entered the Qi training stage, it is time to settle some things."

Lu Yan's gaze gradually became deep.

“It’s not my style to let the demonic cultivator behind Manager Chu go.

If the next version has extraordinary powers, the power of the magic monk may surpass mine.

It is better to solve it in advance while the urban version is full of mortals."
