Gou Zai Yao Wu Simulated Immortal

When your muscles, bones, qi, and blood are at just the right level, it's the perfect time to break through the barrier.

He turned and went back to the thatched hut, where he sat down cross-legged.

With a flick of his sleeve.

One by one, low-grade spirit stones rolled out of the storage bag, their clear light shining, and scattered around him.

Li Qian arranged them in a circle around himself, with the ends touching.

These spirit stones were all painstakingly acquired by him, bit by bit.

This is also the source of our confidence to break through tonight.

He raised his hand, made a hand seal, and gestured towards the lake.

The lakeside mist instantly came alive, a testament to the lake's spirit-gathering magic.

The faint, scattered spiritual energy in the room gradually became richer.

After doing all this, Li Qian took out the Qi-Returning Pill.

The pills are about the size of a longan, with a slightly yellow waxy shell and a fine, smooth sheen on the surface. They have a long-lasting and mild fragrance.

He gently twirled the pill between his fingertips, his gaze slightly darkening.

In the past few days, he has spent another five spirit stones to push his cultivation to the perfect third level of Qi Refining.

Once you reach this stage, you can no longer get past it simply by diligently cultivating spiritual energy.

Further progress in cultivation techniques is needed.

The introductory stage of the "Lingze Method" ends when one reaches the third level of Qi Refining.

If the technique cannot be pushed forward one step further.

Even with Qi-restoring pills and spirit stones at hand, it's like trying to fill a leaky bottle with water; a breakthrough is hard to achieve.

Conversely.

If we can take advantage of tonight's momentum to push the "Lingze Method" to the level of mastery in one fell swoop.

Then his entry into the mid-stage of Qi Refining will be a natural progression.

Without further hesitation, Li Qian put the Qi-Returning Pill into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

The pill dissolved instantly upon entering the stomach.

"Excellent pill!"

A gentle warmth spread quietly from his chest and abdomen, gradually smoothing and gathering the scattered spiritual energy within him.

Li Qian closed his eyes, facing the sky with his five hearts facing upwards, and the "Lingze Law" began to operate.

Within moments, he noticed the difference.

The surrounding area was originally scattered and chaotic, requiring a lot of effort to slowly draw in spiritual energy.

It is much more docile now.

Especially the wisps of watery air that gathered from the lakeside made him feel even closer to them.

"Is this what it feels like to have increased refining efficiency? Is this what geniuses are like...? This is wonderful."

The spiritual energy that was once difficult to tame is now easily guided and naturally enters the body through breathing.

It flows along the meridians, converges into the dantian, and then, with the circulation of the cultivation method, is slowly refined into one's own spiritual power.

The medicinal effects of the Qi-Returning Pill have begun to manifest.

He immersed himself entirely in the operation of the "Lingze Law".

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

The practice became increasingly proficient.

With the help of a large amount of spiritual energy entering the body, it is gradually promoted to circulate throughout the body.

His understanding of the "Lingze Law" is also gradually advancing.

The meaning of "Lingze Lingze" is not in the vastness of the marshland, but in the harmony of its spirit.

When things go smoothly, they gather; when they gather, they succeed; when they succeed, they transform; and when they transform, they do not stagnate.

It became.

The Lingze Technique has been mastered!

The surrounding spiritual energy felt increasingly welcoming.

The spiritual energy within his body was being refined more and more rapidly.

After completing the cultivation technique, with each breath, the dantian (energy center) slowly expanded, accommodating even more spiritual energy.

"Without refining spiritual energy, one is like a martial artist without vital energy; unable even to deduce cultivation techniques, let alone advance in cultivation."

Li Qian felt a pang of regret, lamenting that he was not a genius and could not witness the overwhelming surge of spiritual energy.

Three of the spirit stones in the room have been removed and are nowhere to be found. It is estimated that only about 30% of them have entered his body.

The rest were assimilated by the other four types of spiritual energy and returned to the world.

The cultivation technique accelerated, and the spiritual stones, the medicinal power of the Qi-Returning Pill, and the spiritual energy gathered from the lakeside converged into one.

It was rapidly refined, gathered, and propelled, striving to expand the boundaries of the Qi Sea.

Li Qian's mind became increasingly clear and empty.

Tonight, the timing, location, and people are all in place.

Taking advantage of this momentum of understanding and breaking through the laws, he simultaneously stepped into the fourth level of Qi Refining.

……

Three days later, the sun rose in the east.

The wooden door of the thatched cottage creaked softly.

Li Qian slowly walked out from inside.

There was a clarity in his eyes, as if he had washed away all the dust and grime.

His breathing became increasingly long and restrained.

He swallowed all the Qi-Returning Pills and spent ten spirit stones.

I've finally reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Li Qian stood in front of the door, slowly exhaling a breath of stale air. His chest felt clear and his senses were much sharper than usual.

Especially at the moment of breaking through the barrier.

He entered a wondrous realm beyond description.

A mysterious connection was formed between the mind and the surrounding water-based spiritual energy.

Those who sit alone in their thatched huts are scattered throughout the world.

Transforming into a wisp of invisible water vapor, it quietly swirls among the lake breeze and vegetation, seemingly able to sense the essence of the lake water.

The lively, vibrant energy of the water element became crystal clear in that instant.

Unfortunately, this feeling is as fleeting as the wind passing over the tips of reeds.

However, it dissipated in an instant.

Li Qian stood there, still feeling somewhat lost.

"What a pity."

"If I could stay a little longer, I might gain even more insight."

But he understood that such a sudden, miraculous response at the moment of breaking through a realm was something that could only be encountered by chance.

To bump into it is already a blessing.

Having considered this, Li Qian suppressed his regret and began to carefully experience the changes within himself.

After reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining, the Qi Sea expanded by a significant margin.

The flow of spiritual energy within the body was also much smoother than before.

His water control technique seemed to have improved, but it still needed to be tested.

The increase in spiritual power within his body and the comprehension of the techniques did not allow the joy on Li Qian's face to last long.

Although the fourth level of Qi Refining has been achieved, it is still slow.

All told, this version of myself in this world spent two whole years grinding away at the third level of Qi Refining.

It took him two years to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

While external factors certainly play a role, ultimately, the biggest obstacle is still the spiritual root.

Low grade water spirit root.

It can only absorb water-related spiritual energy, and its conversion efficiency is pitifully low.

Others can consume 30% or 50% of the spiritual energy they refine in one go.

For him, it was already quite good if he could safely and steadily refine 10% of it into his body.

Thinking of this, Li Qian couldn't help but feel a bit bitter.

If I had a mid-grade spiritual root, I would have already reached the threshold of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

If it were a high-grade spiritual root, it would probably already be heading towards the late stage of Qi Refining.

Not to mention the various exotic spiritual roots and innate Dao bodies that are only rumored in the marketplace.

I've heard that some members of powerful clans in the True Spirit Continent are born with early-developing intelligence.

The Qi Sea naturally possesses spirituality, and the foundation was established in childhood.

When he reaches his age, he'll probably be planning to form his core.

The differences between people are truly outrageous.

Li Qian gazed at the shimmering lake, and after a long while, he sighed softly, "The journey is difficult..."

After letting out that sigh, he felt more at ease.

If one's spiritual roots are poor, then so be it; if one's path is slow, then so be it; but ultimately, one must take it one step at a time.

The worst thing to do right now is to be ambitious but lack practical skills, thinking about things that are far beyond your reach after only breaking through the mid-stage.

According to the Lingze Fa.

Having reached this level of cultivation, one can already learn one of the intermediate-grade first-tier spells that comes with it.

Its name is "The Secret of Dividing Waves".

This technique combines both lethality and agility.

The key is to take advantage of the water's natural flow, step on the water to create ripples, and wave your hand to create waves.

With practice, one can become light on the water, float on the waves without sinking, and remain afloat amidst the endless waves.

It is an extremely practical water-based technique.

Like the Water Control Technique, it is even more powerful in places with abundant water vapor.

His martial arts techniques are comparable to those of a second-level body cultivator, and with the addition of the Water Control Technique, his power is already considerable.

What they lack most is the ability to save their lives and escape.

While the Flowing Cloud Steps are excellent, they ultimately only utilize martial arts cultivation.

Now, with the addition of the "Fenlang Jue" (a specific technique), my system is finally complete.
