Immortality and Cultivation: I can extract entries from all things.

early morning.

Fang He sat cross-legged on the bed, activated all the entries, and began to circulate the Green Wood Technique.

【Reiki Affinity (Gray)】Makes it easier for Reiki to enter the body.

【Nourish the Dantian (White)】This makes the Dantian larger and the true qi more condensed.

The newly acquired [Rejuvenation of Dead Trees (Green)] has an even more amazing effect.

Wood-attribute spiritual energy converged from all directions, at a much faster pace than before.

The vital energy circulates in the meridians, and you can feel significant progress with each cycle.

Fang He was thrilled.

The green entry was even more effective than he had anticipated.

The cultivation speed is more than three times faster than at the beginning!

At this rate, he should be able to break through to the third level of Qi Refining within ten days.

Fifteen days remaining.

Breakthrough in ten days, deadline in fifteen days.

There is enough time, but no room for any unexpected events.

Fang He stood up, pushed open the door, and walked towards Old Man Lin's thatched hut.

……

Old Man Lin was weeding by the Lingtian field when he saw Fang He approaching and straightened up.

"Xiao Fang, is something the matter?"

Fang He nodded: "Uncle Lin, I will be going into seclusion for the next few days. I'd appreciate it if you could look after the spirit field for me."

Old Man Lin glanced at him, his eyes showing a hint of understanding.

"Is a breakthrough imminent?"

"Um."

Old Man Lin nodded: "Don't worry, I'll take care of the watering and weeding. Focus on your cultivation and strive for a breakthrough. If you need any help, just call out."

"Thank you, Uncle Lin."

Fang He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, then turned and left.

Back in the hut, he closed the doors and windows and hung a wooden sign on the door.

The sign above reads: "Closed to visitors."

Fang He sat cross-legged on the bed and took a deep breath.

Start.

……

first day.

Fang He activated the Green Wood Technique, guiding the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body.

The surrounding wood-attribute spiritual energy began to gather, flowing into his body like a trickle.

Deep within his dantian, a warm and gentle aura slowly rose.

The effect of the entry 【枯木逢春】 (Kū mù féng chūn).

The flow of spiritual energy into my body was smoother than ever before.

Fang He could feel the true energy flowing through his meridians, and each cycle made his dantian more full.

The warmth spread from my lower abdomen to my whole body, as comfortable as soaking in warm water.

This is the effect of the "Nourishing the Dantian" entry.

Fang He continued to circulate his cultivation technique, feeling the spiritual energy gradually accumulating.

……

late at night.

Fang He stopped cultivating and opened his eyes.

He swallowed a fasting pill to replenish his strength.

After the first day, I could clearly feel the progress.

My dantian was much fuller than in the morning, and my true qi was also more condensed.

At this rate, it should be able to accumulate enough in about eight days.

Add another day to break through the bottleneck.

Nine days.

There are still fourteen days left, that should be enough.

Fang He lay down to rest, but soon sat up again.

Can't sleep.

Various thoughts are constantly popping into my mind.

What if the breakthrough fails?

What if something unexpected happens?

Fang He shook his head, shaking off his distracting thoughts.

Thinking about these things is useless.

The only thing I can do is to focus all my energy on cultivation.

He sat cross-legged again and closed his eyes.

carry on.

……

the next day.

Fang He did not rest.

He possesses abundant energy, allowing him to cultivate continuously without feeling fatigued.

[High energy] and [abundant blood and qi] are at play.

The spiritual energy continued to accumulate, and the dantian became increasingly full.

Fang He could clearly sense that barrier.

The barrier between the second and third layers of the aura.

He had been stuck for half a year, and no matter how hard he practiced, he couldn't make any progress.

Now, we finally see hope for a breakthrough.

……

Day three.

Fang He still did not leave the thatched hut.

Time slips away unnoticed.

Cultivation occupied my entire mind.

He can feel himself improving every day.

But anxiety is also building.

The remaining eleven days are like a sword hanging over our heads.

Fang He closed her eyes, trying to stop thinking about these things.

Continue your practice.

……

Fourth day.

Fang He opened her eyes and looked out the window.

It was already dark.

He didn't know how long he had been cultivating.

The dantian was already very full, and the true qi was as solid as a ball of mercury.

But they are still one step away from a breakthrough.

Fang He adjusted her breathing and calmed herself down.

Don't rush.

Haste makes waste.

He closed his eyes and continued to circulate the Green Wood Technique.

……

Day .

The true qi in the dantian began to change.

The originally still internal energy began to subtly rotate.

Fang He's heart stirred.

This is a precursor to a breakthrough.

He suppressed his excitement, calmed himself, and continued his cultivation.

……

Day .

The trend of Qi rotation is becoming increasingly obvious.

Fang He could feel the bottleneck starting to loosen.

The barrier that had troubled him for half a year finally began to crack.

He intensified his efforts, fully activating the Green Wood Technique.

……

Seventh day.

Fang He focused intently, guiding the spiritual energy to continue entering his body.

The true qi in the dantian began to rotate automatically, forming a tiny vortex.

Wood-attribute spiritual energy converged from all directions, faster than before.

The effect of the phrase "枯木逢春" (meaning "withered trees come back to life") is maximized at crucial moments.

The vortex of true energy spun faster and faster, and the barrier between realms began to tremble.

……

Eighth day.

Fang He could sense that the opportunity for a breakthrough was right in front of him.

The vortex of true qi in the dantian has taken shape and is slowly rotating.

The barriers between them are as thin as a sheet of paper.

Just one more touch and we can break through.

Fang He took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Preparing to break through the bottleneck.

In my mind, the countdown continues.

Seven days remaining.

There's enough time.

Fang He focused all his attention on his dantian and circulated the Green Wood Technique with all his might.

The vortex of true energy began to accelerate.

The boundary barrier began to tremble.

A breakthrough is just around the corner!

Fang He gritted his teeth and guided all his true energy toward the barrier.

"break!"

He muttered to himself.

……

boom!

Fang He felt something inside her being released.

A vast amount of spiritual energy poured in from the outside, filling the expanded space in the dantian.

The boundary barrier has been broken.

The true energy became more condensed, and its quantity more than doubled.

A warm, throbbing sensation came from my dantian, which then transformed into a cool current that spread throughout my body.

Fang He slowly opened her eyes.

[Realm Level: Qi Refining Level 3]

Fang He let out a long breath and leaned against the wall.

Breakthrough.

He looked down at his hands, feeling the abundant internal energy within his body.

Three months.

It took three whole months from when I transmigrated to this world to when I broke through to the third level of Qi Refining.

The second level of Qi Refining had been stagnant for half a year, but now the bottleneck has finally been broken.

Fang He closed her eyes and felt the changes in her body.

The true energy was twice as solid as before, and the meridians had become wider and stronger.

This is the boost brought by the third level of Qi Refining.

Although it was only a breakthrough in a minor realm, it was already a significant improvement for a rogue cultivator.

Fang He stood up and stretched his limbs.

Outside, it was already broad daylight.

He didn't know how long he had been in seclusion, only that he felt sore all over.

But it was all worth it.

Fang He pushed open the door, and the sunlight made him squint.

Old Man Lin was working by the Lingtian field when he saw Fang He come out and stopped what he was doing.

"A breakthrough?"

"Um."

Fang He nodded.

Old Man Lin smiled and said, "Good, Qi Refining Level 3, you've passed the conscription hurdle."

Fang He let out a long breath, feeling completely relaxed.

The sword hanging overhead finally disappeared.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Lin, for taking care of me these past few days."

"There's no need for such formalities between neighbors."

Old Man Lin waved his hand, "Managing the spirit field well is more important than anything else."

Fang He nodded: "Uncle Lin is right."

He bid farewell to Old Man Lin and went to the Lingtian field.

After eight days of seclusion, even though Uncle Lin was helping to look after Lingtian, he still had to personally check on it before he felt at ease.

He walked to the edge of the spirit field, squatted down, and gently placed his hand on the leaves of the spirit grain.

[Plant affinity]

A faint sense of vitality emanated from my fingertips, and Ling Gu's condition was clearly presented in my mind.

It is growing well, with a solid root system and full ears of grain.

It will be ready for harvest in four or five days.

Fang He stood up and walked slowly along the ridges of the field, stopping occasionally to check a few plants.

[Spirit Herb Sensing] allows him to perceive even more subtle changes.

In the southeast corner, the leaves of several spirit valley plants have slightly yellow edges, which is a sign of uneven absorption of spiritual energy.

Fang He noted down the location, knowing he would need to adjust the flow of spiritual energy in the spirit array later.

After advancing in my cultivation level, my perception of spiritual energy became much more acute.

Subtle problems that used to require careful sensing to detect can now be seen at a glance.

Fang He straightened up, looked at the entire spiritual field, and nodded in satisfaction.

Two acres of spiritual fields, with more than four hundred spiritual grains.

Only by managing the spiritual fields well can a stable income be guaranteed.

This is the foundation for a stable life.

Next, I need to apply for a delay in my draft status...
