Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 37: Second Level of Qi Training. (Third update!)

Zheng Que skillfully focused his mind and entered the void, constantly seizing inspiration wrapped in an icy aura...

Soon, he discovered that the efficiency of this practice was far superior to before.

If before he absorbed and exhaled the spiritual energy of heaven and earth like a person catching flying insects by the pond in the evening with empty hands, this time it was as if he had a big net and could catch a large number of insects at a time.

Zheng Que immediately concentrated his mind and practiced his skills with all his strength.

As his mind was immersed in it, strands of spiritual energy were refined and absorbed into his body. In his sea of ​​qi, the white spiritual energy that was originally just a thin mist continued to grow and become more dense...

After practicing like this for a long time, Zheng Que opened his eyes and saw the familiar dilapidated palace. The [Book of Life and Death] was spread out in front of him, constantly absorbing the black air coming out from between his eyebrows.

Feeling the abundant spiritual energy in his body, Zheng Que felt very satisfied.

The three medicinal whiskers given by the mayor can greatly increase the speed of his cultivation.

Just from the practice he just did, the amount of spiritual energy he absorbed has exceeded the total amount of time he spent practicing since he entered the Dao!

In addition, the Yin Qi absorbed from cultivation after taking the medicine is very scarce.

Although this is of no use to him, for normal cultivators, it may be more useful than increasing the speed of cultivation!
There are three medicinal whiskers, and now there are two left. After using them all, my cultivation should be able to reach the second level of Qi training.

This is just the effect of the medicinal root... I wonder what magical properties the real medicinal plant has?
Zheng Que's mind raced as he looked at the Book of Life and Death.

"Species: Human."

"Name: Zheng Que."

"Place of Origin: From Changfu Town, Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty."

"Life span: sixteen years, seven months, and ten days. Died at the hour of Hai."

Looking at the barely written records, Zheng Que looked solemn. Tomorrow at 11:00 PM would be the day when his doom would come!
His first calamity was when he faced the "Calling Ghost" whose cultivation level was one level higher than his.

I wonder if this second disaster will be as "treacherous" as before?
With Qingli here, I should be able to survive any ghost below the fifth level of [Tongue-Pulling Hell]...

While thinking, Zheng Que sat on the armchair and waited quietly.

The hall was spacious and cold, and a cold wind howled and swept through the broken entrance with a mighty momentum.

As time passed, the black energy gushing out from his brows became less and less, and soon it was all absorbed by the [Book of Life and Death].

The scene around him changed, and in the blink of an eye, Zheng Que was back in the dilapidated temple.

There was dead silence inside and outside the dilapidated temple. A ray of warm gold leaked through the crack of the door. The sun was setting in the west, and it was almost dusk.

This time, his cultivation took him almost two hours.

After looking around and finding nothing unusual, Zheng Que picked up the second medicinal root without hesitation and put it into his mouth.

Just like before, the medicine must enter the stomach, rising like a flame, and soon it will turn into a warm current that nourishes the whole body.

Zheng Que once again practiced the [Seed Life Technique]. As the technique was practiced, a large amount of spiritual energy was absorbed into his body.

Time passed slowly, he sat cross-legged on the bed, motionless, but the aura he exuded became stronger and stronger.

The light outside the window gradually faded. After the last ray of light fell into the Western Tianshan Mountains, the day was over and night fell... Gradually, the night became thicker and thicker.

Zheng Que closed his eyes slightly, absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy, and had already reached the peak of the first level of Qi training.

He felt that the spiritual energy in his body was boiling to the extreme, as if it wanted to break through some invisible barrier. However, at this moment, the medicinal power of the second medicinal whisker had been almost used up. The spiritual energy in his sea of ​​​​qi was surging, but there was always something missing. After repeated repetitions, it gradually declined.

Zheng Cheng immediately grabbed the last of the medicinal roots and tossed them directly into his mouth. Another burst of warmth erupted, and the spiritual energy in his sea of ​​​​qi was bolstered, roaring and churning like never before, transforming into a hurricane-like vortex of spiritual energy.

In the outside world, spiritual energy was drawn in from all directions and surrounded him. With his breath, invisible waves seemed to surge in the room with closed doors and windows, like some dormant giant beast.

This state was so strange that Zheng Que couldn't help but immerse himself in it.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that the spiritual power in his sea of ​​​​qi had gradually stopped growing.

Zheng Que was stunned and looked carefully. Although the white mist-like spiritual power in the misty sea of ​​energy had stopped growing, under the operation of the [Seed Life Technique], his body was still constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, and the speed was getting faster and faster!

He seemed to understand something vaguely, and immediately put aside all distracting thoughts in his mind and practiced the skills with all his strength.

dong... dong... dong...

In the silent room, the sound of a faint heartbeat gradually became audible, and the air around was surging like a tide. Both the spiritual energy and the Yin energy were rushing into Zheng Que's body as fast as rivers flowing into the sea.

The ends of his hair and the corners of his clothes fluttered in the wind without any wind.

This situation lasted for a long time. The temperature in the room continued to drop, as if it were an ice cellar. Zheng Que sat there motionless, his skin becoming paler due to the intake of too much Yin energy, and he seemed to be becoming more and more lifeless.

Suddenly, the spiritual power in his qi sea spread out in an explosive manner. These spiritual powers that had been refined long ago penetrated into his limbs and bones in a flash, and his aura suddenly increased dramatically!
Feeling the obvious increase in strength, Zheng Que immediately opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of foul air, with a clear look of joy on his face that could not be concealed at all.

The second level of Qi training!
※※※

The town was quiet.

In the courtyard of the dilapidated temple, Qingli was hanging comfortably on an old tree, swaying in the wind.

Suddenly, he turned slightly and looked inside the temple.

That human kid has made a breakthrough in his cultivation!

However, the other party actually needed to practice for several days before he could break through a small realm. His talent was indeed dull.

There is no comparison with a destiny ghost like me!

Thinking of this, Qingli turned around and continued to hang on the tree, swinging back and forth.

※※※

Hell.

Zheng Que opened his eyes and saw the familiar scene around him.

Large amounts of black energy surged out from between his eyebrows and rolled into the Book of Life and Death.

As more and more Yin energy was absorbed by the [Book of Life and Death], Zheng Que suddenly felt that the spiritual power in his body was gradually becoming more condensed.

He sat quietly on the lame-legged armchair, contemplating the changes brought about by this improvement in his cultivation...

The practice in the Qi training stage is essentially to constantly refine the spiritual power in the body. When the spiritual power in the body is refined to be extremely pure and cannot be refined any further, the spiritual power turns into liquid and transforms into true essence, which is the foundation building!
Just now, the spiritual power in his qi sea suddenly stopped growing, and the phenomenon of continuing to absorb spiritual energy was the process of tempering the spiritual power.

Of course, his current cultivation level was too low, so he only knew this principle. He had no idea how the [Seed Life Art] achieved this tempering process...
