Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 4 The Second Life Magical Treasure
The meeting with Zhuge Chen went smoothly.

After the servant informed him, Zhuge Chen quickly summoned Fang Jun.

When Fang Jun walked into the room, Zhuge Chen was sitting at the desk, holding an ancient book in his hand.

Seeing Fang Jun come in, he put down the book and smiled slightly: "You came so late at night, are you dissatisfied with today's arrangements?"

Fang Jun shook his head: "Do you know that someone wants to kill me?"

His voice was calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

Zhuge Chen's eyes suddenly focused, his fingers trembled slightly, and he crumpled the page in his hand: "Who?"

Fang Jun laughed: "You don't know?"

Zhuge Chen was silent, frowning: "She shouldn't do this... With me here, she wouldn't dare, and it's impossible for her to do this."

"Nothing is impossible, Uncle Zhuge," Fang Jun's tone remained calm, yet revealed a sense of determination. "Thank you for your care over the years. I think it's time to leave."

Zhuge Chen's voice suddenly rose: "Why?"

Fang Jun didn't answer. He turned and walked out the door. "The fact that you can ask 'why' right now may be the best answer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Jun stepped out of the door.

Zhuge Chen sat on the wooden chair for a long time without moving, and finally murmured in a low voice: "Brother Fang, perhaps your choice... was wrong from the beginning."

……

Fang Jun returned to his rented house.

The room was filled with various physical experiment instruments, the cold light of metal and the faint gleam of glass intertwined, like an icy maze.

His eyes fell on the huge computer in the center of the room - Yuanshen No. 1.

"It has begun, my second life magic weapon." Fang Jun whispered to himself.

Cultivators have spirit, energy and vitality, and magic weapons also have spirit, energy and vitality.

Only when the cultivator's essence, energy and spirit are combined with the magic weapon and they coexist as one can they refine their own magic weapon.

In theory, to refine one's own magical weapon, a cultivator must reach the late stage of Qi Refining, preferably the ninth level, when the Qi Refining stage is complete.

This involves the cultivator's understanding of the skills, the magic weapons, and the cultivation.

However, Fang Jun was an exception. Using mathematical tools alone, he increased the spiritual energy utilization rate of the five spiritual roots from 1% to 25%.

To put it bluntly, Fang Jun's comprehension was 25 times that of an average cultivator. Refining his natal magic weapon with his initial Qi Refining skills was no problem for him.

Now, with Yuanshen No. 1, he is more confident in challenging the refining of his second life magic weapon.

Even if the difficulty is comparable to the chasm between single-spiritual energy problems and dual-spiritual energy problems, or even greater.

"Yuan Shen No. 1 computer starts..."

Fang Jun closed his eyes, and his consciousness extended like a thread, connecting with the core of the computer.

"Connecting to the administrator's consciousness..."

The magic power in his body surged like a tide, spreading throughout his body and washing every inch of his meridians.

"Connection successful..."

"The calculations for refining my life-saving magic weapon are in progress..."

The humming sound of Yuanshen No. 1 gradually intensified, bringing with it a strong gust of hot air, heating up the room.

"Calculating..."

"Model is being built. Please activate your mana at the coordinates of Yuanshen No. 1 (36, 65, 36)..."

Fang Jun extended his index finger, concentrated his magic power at his fingertips, and pointed it towards the coordinates of Yuanshen No. 1 (36, 65, 36).

Then, based on the calculation results of Yuanshen No. 1, he pointed hundreds of fingers and instantly spread the magic power to the entire Yuanshen No. 1.

The material of Yuanshen No. 1 is of course also spiritual material, otherwise it would not be enough to be refined into a life-saving magic weapon.

This is a spiritual material that he privately made during his spare time at work using the technology of forging spiritual pattern steel.

The raw materials themselves were worthless, just ordinary iron, so no one cared if they were wasted a little. In other words, even if there were large-scale losses, the monks wouldn't care about these ordinary things.

"Om-!"

Suddenly, a powerful backlash force swept over, Fang Jun's body shook violently, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

However, his eyes became more determined: "As expected... refining the second life magic weapon is by no means an easy task. But even so, I will do it!"

This backlash came from his first life-saving magic weapon - the Tianjun Sword.

In the process of refining Yuanshen No. 1 into the life-saving magic weapon, the essences, spirits and spirits of the three blended together, but were not harmonious with each other, forming a strong repulsion.

Most people fail at this step.

Even for cultivators who have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, even if they refine a single life-saving magic weapon, they are very likely to fail due to the inability to harmonize their essence, energy and spirit.

The consequences of failure could be serious injuries at the very least, the end of one's path to immortality at the medium level, or even the loss of one's life at the worst.

But Fang Jun was different. A hint of madness flashed in his eyes, and he whispered to himself, "The Tianjun Sword is my treasure to protect the Dao, and Yuanshen No. 1 is my tool to seek the Dao. I want both!"

He already understood the problem; there was no problem with the mathematical model for refining the second life magic weapon.

The problem lies in his control over his magic power.

Just like the answers to the homework are clearly laid out there, the speed at which you answer them depends on your writing speed.

Fang Jun's writing speed could not keep up with the speed at which the answers appeared, so the theoretically foolproof model ran into an accident.

"Om-!"

The magic power in his body accelerated and ran as crazy as an overclocked chip.

A tearing pain ripped through his Dantian meridians, but he paid no heed. He used his consciousness to manipulate his mana to the maximum extent possible, strengthening his control over it.

He quickly made up for his lack of control over his magic power.

However, the difficulty of the first level has been overcome.

But then came the second level, which was not enough mana.

Refining one's own magic weapon requires a huge amount of mana, and refining a second magic weapon requires even more mana.

The reason is that more mana is needed to suppress the conflict between the cultivator, the first life magic weapon, and the second life magic weapon.

In order to obtain more mana, Fang Jun began to squeeze out the mana in the Tianjun Sword, assisting in the refining while suppressing the rejection of the Tianjun Sword.

The Tianjun Sword began to resist, the sword body vibrated in the dantian, and emitted a low humming sound.

This is not because the Tianjun Sword has self-awareness, but a spiritual instinct - just like when a person holds his breath and tries to suffocate himself, the brain will automatically resist.

Fang Jun gritted his teeth and used his spiritual sense to suppress the spiritual power of the Tianjun Sword.

The sound of the sword gradually became weaker, and finally, wisps of gentle magic power overflowed and merged into the refining process.

Even so, the mana is still not enough.

Fang Jun took out the pill he had prepared in advance and swallowed it in one gulp. After the pill entered his mouth and came into contact with Fang Jun's mana, it transformed into a substance between spiritual energy and mana, but easier to refine, continuously replenishing his mana consumption.

Soon a day and a night passed.

The Yuanshen No. 1 computer that once filled the entire room disappeared, leaving only a brass disc spinning in Fang Jun's dantian.

When I read books in the past, I always saw the concepts of refining spiritual energy to increase mana, consuming mana, and taking pills to restore mana.

Of course the author knows that "refining spiritual energy to increase mana" refers to the mana limit, and "consuming mana" and "taking pills to restore mana" refer to the mana value.

But I always feel uncomfortable reading it because the concepts are too confusing.

It is easy to wonder why I can increase my mana limit by refining spiritual energy, but only restore my mana after taking elixirs to refine spiritual energy.

If the former and the latter are due to different refining methods, then why can't I use the recovery pills as the elixir for improving my cultivation instead of refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? Buy those more expensive elixirs that increase the mana limit?
In fact, there is no need to explain these concepts in detail. Readers have read so many novels and have already understood them. They have become common sense and can be explained in a self-consistent way. No one will worry about them.

However, this book involves some fabricated theories of cultivation, so the improvement of cultivation in this book directly refers to the improvement of the mana capacity of the Dantian.
