Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 201 Yan Yu’s Death Threat

What's the first thing to do after the level cap is increased?
Level up.

Technology is indeed the main factor affecting the level of strength, but the level of cultivation can determine the upper and lower limits of strength.

Rather than gambling on whether your skills can function normally in actual combat, it is of course more cost-effective to improve your cultivation level as soon as possible.

After everyone quickly finished their meal, they rushed back to their rooms in the villa to practice breathing exercises and cultivating their Qi. No one cared what Xie Ruoxi was doing. It wasn't that they didn't want to care, but they had to race against time to improve their cultivation. Even if they could improve a little more than the Flying Dragon Team, they would have an advantage in the secret realm confrontation next week.

To practice breathing and refining Qi, one must practice the Great Circulation of True Essence. The first round of circulation each day will see the fastest improvement in cultivation, the second round's growth efficiency will be halved, and the third and fourth rounds will get worse and worse... That's why there is the term "daily lessons" in cultivation. The first round of circulation each day must be completed, the second round should be completed as much as possible, and the rest can be completed as you please.

The improvement effect also depends on the cultivator's aptitude. For example, Jingye Liu Longtao is said to complete at least fifteen cycles of the Zhoutian every day. Because of his high aptitude, even if the number of cycles exceeds ten, the improvement per cycle is still considerable.

My talent isn't as amazing as Jingye's, but it's still average. I usually do the Zhoutian seven or eight times. After that, the improvement is minimal. I feel like I haven't practiced at all, and it's not worth wasting time.

Of course, the most important thing is that the level cap is here. As long as everyone's qualifications are not too bad, they will be able to reach the maximum level at this stage sooner or later even if they practice slowly, and the gap will not be widened in the long term, unless there is a competition next week.

Xie Ruoxi was suddenly left alone, and naturally, she was happy to be free and unrestrained. She had been playing games in the study for a long time when she suddenly heard the doorbell ring from downstairs.

She went downstairs to open the door and found that it was Instructor Qi who had arrived.

"Foundation Building Pills." Qi Changping took out the bottle, "Six pills in total. Ask Yan Yu to come down and sign for them."

Xie Ruoxi subconsciously didn't want to look for Yan Yu, and asked:

"Can't I put it in the living room? He's practicing now, and I don't want to disturb him."

"Yeah." Qi Changping looked at her and suddenly frowned, "Why aren't you practicing?"

"I..." Xie Ruoxi stretched out her words and quickly came up with an excuse, "I was about to go practice, but Yan Yu asked me to wait here for you, Instructor, to bring this... Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Alright." Qi Changping handed her the bottle. "There's a pill in there that's yours. Remember not to take it yet. Do your daily routine first, otherwise it will be wasted."

"Oh oh." Xie Ruoxi took the bottle, watched Qi Changping leave, closed the door, threw the bottle on the sofa, and planned to go upstairs to play games - but the bottle was caught by Yan Yu who suddenly appeared behind her.

"Do you know what this is?" Yan Yu asked with a smile.

Although he smiled gently, Xie Ruoxi was caught red-handed. Her face turned pale and she stammered:

“Uh, this is…”

"This is called the Foundation Establishment Pill," Yan Yu said kindly. "The national production is probably only a few hundred pills a month. How many cultivators would be dying to get one? It's absolutely a good thing. If unofficial cultivators outside knew you had this thing, they would come and kill you in a moment, or even kidnap your family..."

"I was wrong." Xie Ruoxi admitted her mistake decisively, "I'm sorry, I will go practice immediately."

She slid to her knees so quickly that Yan Yu was a little surprised.

After all, the two girls he often confronted, Zhao Yuanzhen was always stubborn and said, "I'm wrong, I won't admit it," while Chen Lingyun played dumb and said, "I don't know what I did wrong." Now that he had met Xie Ruoxi, who was willing to admit her mistakes, her attitude was quite sincere compared to those two...

Stop!

Don't be fooled by her. This pretty loser is the best at backing out. Now that she's been scolded and told to turn over a new leaf, be careful that she'll get bored in her bedroom later and start slacking off again!
"Come with me." Yan Yu put away his smile and said seriously.

Xie Ruoxi nervously followed him upstairs, watching him distribute the foundation-building pills to the other girls, and finally return to the bedroom.

Zhao Yuanzhen was meditating on the bed. When he saw Xie Ruoxi come in, his eyes widened.

Xie Ruoxi was also dumbfounded: Damn, why is Sister Zhao in your room?

"You..." Zhao Yuanzhen had just said one word when he was suddenly interrupted by Yan Yu:

"What do you think of Ruoxi's talent?"

What about talent? Of course, it's one in a million!
To be honest, although there is no actual evidence, Zhao Yuanzhen suspects that Xie Ruoxi's talent for cultivation might be the legendary "Dao Heart Enlightenment" that is rarely seen in a thousand years:
It is said that this kind of peerless genius not only cultivates very quickly, but also can learn any magic spell in one go and understand it at once... But seeing how unmotivated Xie Ruoxi is, it is hard to associate her with "the clear mind of Tao".

Wait, why are you asking me this question?
Zhao Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment, and an unbelievable thought emerged in his mind: Could it be that he thinks my talent is not good enough and wants to switch to dual cultivation with Xie Ruoxi?
As soon as this thought came to mind, the thief's hateful voice seemed to ring in my mind:
Hehehe! A good minister chooses his master, a good bird chooses its tree. Now that I have Immortal Xie to help me cultivate, you are of no use to me anymore! Quickly pack your bags and get out of this cave!
Zhao Yuanzhen was stunned on the spot, a tear of glitter flashed across the corner of his eye, and he suddenly shouted:

"Even if I've shared your life with you, I can't abandon you so easily. If you want to break up with me just because I'm not as talented as her, I won't let you go even if I become a demon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Yu slapped him on the head:

"Damn it, what's the point of having such a good imagination! I asked her to come here because I think she has such great talent. If she slacks off, it will definitely be wasted. So I have to keep an eye on her and make sure she practices!"

Zhao Yuanzhen just realized that he had made a big mistake. Tears were still in the corners of his eyes, but he couldn't help but smile. He didn't even bother to wipe his face to hide his sadness. He just hugged Yan Yu's arm and said foolishly:

"That's true. I was confused. Hey! Since Sister Ruoxi is so gifted, why don't we practice the Silk Circle with her?"

The Pulling Thread Ring is a modified version of the Qi Refining Technique chapter in the Pulling Thread Method.

In the original version, two people practiced Qi together, and the speed of Qi refining depended on the one with the highest talent. Later, because people in the magic way did not want to find a Taoist partner to practice together, they "used puppets as partners", which was called "pulling silk ring".

Simply put, it involves dual cultivation with a puppet, allowing the puppet's Qi training to feed back to the cultivator. The more natural resources and treasures the puppet possesses, and the higher their grade, the more efficient its Qi training will be.

When Zhao Yuanzhen said "I want to practice the Pulling Silk Ring with Xie Ruoxi", he meant to use Xie Ruoxi as a puppet and use her excellent talents to refine Qi, thereby increasing the cultivation speed of Yan Yu and Zhao Yuanzhen.

This won't cause any harm to her, and of course it won't do any good either. The refined true essence will all go to others, which can be called a modern version of the Wedding Dress Divine Art... But Yan Yu could also guess why Zhao Yuanzhen said that. He simply felt that since Xie Ruoxi didn't want to level up herself, it would be a waste not to take the daily experience pack. Why not let us level up instead?

You're such a demonic woman! You're actually using a living person as a Qi-refining puppet, letting her help you cultivate for nothing. Even if I were a human in two lifetimes, I couldn't think of such a wicked method!

Yan Yu was about to object when he heard Xie Ruoxi curiously ask:
"What is a string loop?"

"Simple." Zhao Yuanzhen laughed, his smile surprisingly pure, without a trace of evil. "You just need to sit next to me and let me connect you with magic, and then you can practice. You don't need to do anything, even playing with your phone is fine."

Being able to practice cultivation just by sitting, is there such a good thing?
"Count me in for the silk ring!" Xie Ruoxi shouted immediately.

"You're nothing!" Yan Yu also slapped her, "Go sit on the bed and breathe in and refine your Qi! If I don't get up, don't move!"

Although the slap on the hard forehead didn't hurt, Xie Ruoxi still felt dizzy and sat down on the edge of the bed involuntarily.

Forget it, he is a domineering immortal, I can't beat him, I will just refine my Qi obediently!
After taking off her shoes beside the bed, Xie Ruoxi silently crossed her feet in white socks, put her five hearts toward the sky, and followed Yan Yu and Zhao Yuanzhen to start practicing the Great Circulation Qi Refining.

I am bored……

I remember that in very old online novels, there was always a desire to write about breathing and refining Qi to feel pleasure. In fact, only those who have truly practiced it know how boring it is.

How can I describe it? It's like using your mind to control a stream of energy flowing through your meridians, turning it around, around, around...just like that.

After completing the first Great Circulation, Xie Ruoxi could no longer sit still and opened her eyes and said:
"I'm thirsty, let me get some water. Do you want some?"

"No, hold on!" Yan Yu, who was sparring with Zhao Yuanzhen, said coldly without opening his eyes, "If I don't finish, you can't stop either!"

Xie Ruoxi had no choice but to continue refining his Qi. After completing the second Great Circulation, he opened his eyes again and said tentatively:

"I want to go to the toilet..."

"Hold it!"

"I can't hold it in any longer."

"If you can't hold it in, just pee on the bed!"

Xie Ruoxi's eyes twitched, thinking to herself, this Yan Yu is really stubborn! What if I really need to go to the bathroom? You really want me to pee on your bed... Ugh, so disgusting, I can't keep imagining it.

Otherwise, just pretend to have a stitch in the side and go crazy?
She began to ponder how her female classmates in high school had acted out their acting skills to avoid physical education classes, when she suddenly heard Yan Yu say:

"If you don't practice Qi well, I will change the passwords on your phone and computer and you won't be able to access the internet all day."

Xie Ruoxi's pretty face turned pale with shock: What? You want to kill me!
