Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 1 [Opening]

"Qi Refining Stage, Level 1."

This result immediately sparked a small discussion.

"Hey, could he be the Xiao Chen the instructor mentioned?"

"He looks quite energetic, not like he's in a daze."

The last sentence was spoken in a low voice, making sure Xiao Chen couldn't hear it: "Many of the new junior brothers who joined this year have broken through to the second level of Qi Refining, but some are still standing still."

The senior brother in charge of the test also looked at the thin young man in front of him with a little surprise.

Then he took note of Xiao Chen's cultivation level and signaled him that he could go back.

Although the entire Miscellaneous Service Peak is full of low-level cultivators who are stuck at a bottleneck and have given up on cultivation because they feel the path is hopeless.

But they were all elderly people with declining qi and blood.

Young disciples like Xiao Chen are basically still suffering.

Even though he was reduced to doing menial work, he still had a glimmer of hope for the future and diligently practiced basic breathing techniques.

In the three years since they started practicing, they have basically reached a small bottleneck at the third level of Qi Refining and are preparing to seek a breakthrough to the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Some people with dull talents also broke through to the second level of Qi Refining last year.

After all, they have all passed the entrance test of the Lihuo Sect. As long as they study hard and practice diligently, breaking through the small realm will not be a problem.

However, Xiao Chen is an exception.

After three years of learning, he is still at the first level of Qi Refining.

It is said that after he finished planting his spiritual fields every day, he would always go out to drink tea, take a walk, appreciate the flowers, and see the scenery.

He has never taken the initiative to practice cultivation and lives like an old man in his seventies or eighties.

He is a model of not striving for progress and a role model of living a life of idleness and waiting for death.

If there were no corresponding regulations in the sect's etiquette, the manager of the Miscellaneous Services Peak would have expelled him from the mountain gate long ago.

It seems that the founder had not anticipated such a situation before he opened the mountain gate.

After all, not to mention the long-term consequences, just after practicing to the third level of Qi Refining, it will be much easier to perform the Small Cloud and Rain Technique.

Even if a normal person wants to be lazy, he should first break through to the third level of Qi Refining.

When one reaches the third level of Qi Refining, he is only one step away from breaking through to the middle stage of Qi Refining and joining the outer sect of the sect.

Naturally, I will try harder.

But Xiao Chen behaved strangely and refused to practice.

Even if he could only perform the Small Cloud and Rain Technique once a day to cover only one acre of spiritual field, and had to carry extra water to irrigate another acre of spiritual field, he would still do it.

You say he is lazy by nature, but carrying water is not easy either.

You could say he was diligent, but he didn't even do any physical training. He could only carry two and a half buckets of water each time, and he would gasp if he carried more than that.

The key person doesn't look stupid, but he is wasting his best years.

Fortunately, although Xiao Chen was not very active in cultivation, the harvest from the two acres of spiritual fields he was responsible for had always been good.

The manager didn't catch any mistakes or shortcomings.

Later, I got used to it and let him live his life like this.

I'm just a menial disciple who grows spiritual fields for the sect. As long as the spiritual fields produce a harvest, I don't care how you grow them.

The only person who often talks about Xiao Chen is the master of martial arts at the Miscellaneous Services Peak - Old Man Wu.

This is what the other disciples call teaching.

He is responsible for teaching basic breathing techniques to the new menial disciples every year.

When giving lectures, he often uses Xiao Chen as a negative example to warn newcomers not to learn from him.

You should work hard while you are young, first strive to join the outer sect, and then work hard to break into the inner sect.

If you succeed, you will win a future for yourself; even if you fail, you will earn resources for your descendants.

After all, outer disciples can receive a basic monthly salary of two spirit stones every month.

Inner disciples receive a basic monthly salary of up to five spirit stones.

Unlike the servants, who work hard in the fields for a month and only get one spirit stone in return.

Throughout the year, I couldn’t even afford to eat the green rice I grew myself.

You can only buy yellow sand rice in the market at the foot of the mountain, which has the highest yield, the worst taste and the cheapest price.

The spiritual energy in the yellow sand is pitifully small, but it is better than nothing.

Spiritual beasts of slightly better species don’t like to eat that.

However, no matter what others think, Xiao Chen still sticks to his own way.

Occasionally, some gossip would reach his ears, but he would just ignore it and remain unmoved.

I still farm, drink tea, take walks, and maintain my own pace of life every day.

Three years like one day.

Of course, Xiao Chen is not really a person who has no ambition and just wants to eat and wait for death.

After all, he is a time traveler!
Although I don’t know why, after traveling through time, I suddenly went back to my 17-year-old teenage years from 28 years old.

But this is not the key point. Being younger is always a good thing.

The key point is that in the second year after he traveled through time, he successfully detected a low-grade wood spiritual root and joined the Lihuo Sect.

When cultivating his first mana, he activated the option of Hextech enhancement.

Three cards floated on a light screen that only he could see, giving three options in a simple and clear manner.

[Axiom Arc I: Recover 10% of your mana when you kill an enemy.]

[Gold Coins from Heaven: Immediately receive 80 Spiritual Stones, and 10 Spiritual Stones every year thereafter.]

[Opening: For the next three years, you will not be able to practice any cultivation. After this, you will directly advance three minor realms and receive 200 spirit stones.]

???

As a veteran Teamfight Tactics and Spatula player, Xiao Chen is very familiar with Hextech.

After a brief moment of surprise, he immediately looked below the options, looking for the refresh button.

Why is there only one Hex?
I won’t talk about the first kilometer arc. I am a cultivator, not a mage.

Although mana regeneration is useful, it requires killing the enemy as a prerequisite, making it the worst option.

The second gold coin that dropped from the sky is actually a very good economic Hex.

If you take this at the beginning, you will have stable returns later, which is considered an upper-middle choice.

But the problem is, the opening swing is one of the top Hextech openings!

After waiting for three years, you can directly advance three small realms.

From the first level of Qi Refining, he directly broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining and entered the middle stage of Qi Refining.

According to the instructor, ordinary disciples often need to practice hard for more than five years before they can hope to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining.

In addition, each major realm is divided into three minor realms: early, middle, and late stages.

There are also corresponding major and minor bottlenecks between these realms.

The moment Hex appeared, Xiao Chen received a message from the unknown.

As long as he breaks through the bottleneck, he can choose a new Hextech enhancement.

And the original strengthening effect will always be retained.

In this way, after choosing to start, you can just break through the small bottleneck in the early stage of Qi training and seamlessly connect to the next Hextech enhancement.

Not to mention, the opening reward is a full 200 spirit stones.

Xiao Chen’s annual income now is only 12 spirit stones.

It would take him eighteen and a half years without eating or drinking to save up two hundred spirit stones.

It is even stronger than the previous two Hextechs combined.

Xiao Chen looked carefully and found no refresh option. It seemed that he could only choose one from these three Hextech options.

And at the top of the card, the number ten appeared, and then the countdown began.

If he can't make a choice himself, he will get a random Hex.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Chen chose the third Hex without hesitation - start!
As he silently recited in his mind, the card in front of him turned into a stream of light and rushed into his sea of ​​consciousness.

After this, he could only absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but was unable to refine the spiritual energy into magic power.

You can't learn spells through a teacher's lectures either.

Even through spirit stones, there is still no way to improve.

Okay, let’s get started.

Three years passed slowly.

Now, there is only one day left.

　Please read the new book, this is really important.
