Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

Tan County is not only the capital of Xuzhou, but also the capital of Donghai Commandery. Players in Donghai Commandery generally regard Tan County as their main city, so Shen's father said to meet in Tan County.

Hearing his father say this, Shen Hua showed a strange expression: "[Qi Gathering Pill]?"

"Yes, the [Qi Gathering Pill], haven't you heard of it?"

Upon discovering that his son didn't know what a "Qi Gathering Pill" was, Mr. Shen patiently explained:

"The Qi Gathering Pill is a type of elixir that can be used in conjunction with cultivation techniques. It's understandable if you haven't heard of it; it's indeed very rare in the game..."

Father Shen explained the full effects of the Qi Gathering Pill, and finally said, "The reason we didn't give these two pills to that kid with the Heavenly Spirit Root is because he didn't have enough guild contribution points."

"But I have enough contribution points! I can redeem them for you later..."

"Uh, Dad." Hearing this, Shen Hua put down his chopsticks, interrupting his father, and said seriously, "I want to talk to you and Mom about something important. I'm moving out."

"Move out to live?" The elderly couple were taken aback.

"Why? Isn't it better for the whole family to live together? They can look after each other." Xu's mother couldn't understand.

"There's a reason, but I can't really say," Shen Hua continued, his expression serious.

"What can't you say? Look at you, child..." Aunt Shen said anxiously, and tried to stand up.

But then Mr. Shen seemed to realize something and stopped Mrs. Shen, giving her a knowing look: "Son, is it because of the 'Ascension' game? If so, just nod."

"Mm." Shen Hua nodded.

"Alright, Dad supports you on Mom's behalf!"

……

……

Three hours later, Shen Hua laboriously dragged a large suitcase back to his rented room in the same city. The room was only 50 square meters, and he had lived there for almost three years since graduation.

The suitcase was packed full of canned instant noodles, making it extremely heavy.

However, all of this is a testament to Shen Ma's love. Shen Ma really did her best to stuff things in, until it was bulging and could not hold any more.

"But then again, can this still be considered a rental?" Shen Hua smiled wryly as he looked at the dusty room.

A month ago, the landlord of the rental house contacted him and said, "I'm giving you the house. I'm going to heaven." Then he never heard from him again.

The phone was naturally unreachable. He had tried calling both a month ago and now, but the phone was always switched off.

"Let's settle in first." Shen Hua tossed his suitcase into the corner of the room, deciding to clean up and move in without worrying about anything else.

I don't know if the landlord has really gone to heaven or what, but I'll stay here for now and pay the rent later if necessary.

There are reasons why he doesn't live with his parents. If he could, Shen Hua would like to spend more time with his parents, but he has reasons that force him to live apart.

For example, the [Gathering Spirit Pill] of golden spiritual quality.

After spending more than an hour thoroughly cleaning, Shen Hua sat cross-legged on the sofa in the rented room, took out a golden-green [Spirit Gathering Pill] and swallowed it.

He recalled the first basic level of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" from his previous life and began to cultivate it.

The moment the cultivation technique was activated, Shen Hua's entire demeanor changed!

Originally, he was just an ordinary office worker, the kind you wouldn't notice in a crowd;

Once he began to circulate his energy, his demeanor instantly became extremely majestic; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a god descended to earth!

A golden ray of light bloomed between his eyebrows and spun continuously.

The torrent of spiritual energy formed by the medicinal properties washed over the body, and under the guidance of the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques," it propelled the cultivation method into a full cycle.

The original power of the "Green Wood Technique" he cultivated was mixed and impure, but under the operation of the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique", this power was quickly refined and purified, becoming a purer source power.

Shen Hua's body absorbed the spiritual energy from the pills like a black hole, greatly reducing waste.

When cultivating the "Green Wood Technique", 95% of the spiritual power is wasted, and only 5% is eventually absorbed and transformed into one's own power; but the "Eight-Nine Arcane Technique" has a conversion rate of 30%!

The spiritual energy within the elixir circulated throughout the body, and under the influence of this circulation, it was also refined into Shen Hua's own spiritual energy.

When he reached the peak of his cultivation, all the furniture in Shen Hua's rented room trembled slightly. He was enveloped in a faint layer of golden spiritual energy, and the golden light between his eyebrows burst forth, forming a golden vertical eye!

Its golden vertical eyes shone brightly, exuding an imposing aura without anger.

These unusual phenomena all demonstrate that this technique is extraordinary and far superior to ordinary techniques like the "Green Wood Manual".

The "Green Wood Technique" not only has no unusual cultivation phenomena, but the body's external appearance doesn't even show any reaction during cultivation. Even a blind person could see that it is truly ordinary and unremarkable.

Moreover, the two cultivation methods differ drastically in terms of cultivation speed.

If cultivating the "Green Wood Technique" is like riding an electric scooter, then the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique" is like a top-of-the-line sports car with four cylinders and 350 horsepower!

In just six hours, Shen Hua not only completed two cycles of the Heavenly Cycle, but also refined and purified all the magical power he had cultivated from the "Green Wood Technique".

Because refining and purifying would reduce his total magical power, he also made up for the missing parts through cultivation.

All of this was done in six hours; the difference in efficiency is like night and day!

In short, after six hours of cultivation, his spiritual power reached a new level, and his originally white "down" gradually turned golden.

Although it wasn't a dramatic complete transformation, the gains were still enormous!

After finishing his practice, Shen Hua lay sprawled on the bed in his rented room, lazily thinking:

"Sigh, it seems I'll have to modify the 'Azure Wood Manual' after entering the game."

"The Green Wood Manual must be modified, and it should be modified in the direction of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique."

"But since there is a divine will at play, we can't change too much at once. We can only change a little bit each time, and we can change it slowly."

"Also, this golden pill..."

Shen Hua flipped his hand, and a golden-quality Qi Gathering Pill appeared in his palm.

He had three golden green potions when he logged out of the game. He ate two of them while cultivating, and now he has one left.

He originally intended to leave the pill to his parents before leaving home, but after thinking it over, he felt it was inappropriate.

Mrs. Shen is alright, but Mr. Shen is a notorious big mouth!

If the pills were given to the two elders, it would be virtually impossible for Shen's father not to go out and show off!

But if you go out and show off, you might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

After all, Mr. Shen just said, "I have won over a group of leaders and colleagues in the game," which means that his offline identity is public.

Not only is their identity public, but at this stage, pills of "Spiritual Essence" quality are almost impossible to obtain through normal channels.

Once Dad goes out and shows off...

After much deliberation, Shen Hua decided not to leave the pill to the two elders.

"From now on, I'll just take care of the two elders secretly in the game. I won't give them any open help anymore. It would be best to help them secretly without their knowledge," Shen Hua thought to himself.
