Cultivation: Beginning with the Heart Reflecting Heaven and Earth

Lu Qian was overjoyed. The problem he had been worrying about had been solved, and he felt much more relaxed.

However, he intends to go into seclusion for an extended period until he reaches the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

If your cultivation level is too low, attending any classes will be useless. It's better to focus your time on improving your cultivation level and not worry about anything else or get distracted by other things. That's the best approach.

With that in mind, Lu Qian asked, "I'd like to request a long leave of absence until I break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, is that alright?"

Xie Xunzhen nodded and said, "Of course, it's the students' personal freedom. As long as the absence isn't too long, it's allowed."

If you don't attend classes for too long, it's like you've broken away from the training model of Zhou Tian Academy. If you're really a genius, this is understandable, but if not, then there might be a problem.

However, Lu Qian had come through connections and was essentially left to his own devices. No one paid much attention to his situation, and his cultivation level was low, so even if he took a long leave, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

Unless he performs exceptionally well later, he might attract some extra attention; right now, not many people care.

Lu Qian naturally understood the reasoning behind this. His primary concern right now was his cultivation level, so he quickly said, "Then help me get a leave of absence, and while you're at it, send me to the Starfall Land!"

Xie Xunzhen shook his head. "No need for that. I'll send you there first, then send a message to Instructor Jin. He shouldn't object."

Lu Qian didn't say anything more. Xie Xunzhen transformed into a ray of light, swept Lu Qian into the sky, and immediately flew towards the Starfall Land.

Once they arrived at their destination, Xie Xunzhen handed him a talisman. "When you want to come back, just use this to call me. I'll come back every few days to bring you some spiritual resources for cultivation!"

Lu Qian thanked her and then turned to find a cave and went inside. He had no intention of continuing to talk to Xie Xunzhen, because he knew very well that Xie Xunzhen was only taking care of him because of Tao Pili.

Therefore, Lu Qian only needed to thank Tao Pili; he didn't need to think about anything else.

From that day on, he began his seclusion, not only cultivating but also, in the intervals, trying to cultivate the movement techniques and physical skills of the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao in his inner world.

Although limited by his cultivation level, Lu Qian was unable to cultivate some of the more advanced techniques, but he could still get started with some of the basic ones.

For example, the Star-Stepping Step is as light as a shooting star, extremely fast, and allows one to walk silently through the air.

Before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Lu Qian naturally couldn't truly fly, but he could still briefly experience the air.

Moreover, the Star Step is quite agile for short-distance movement and can easily dodge various attacks, making it very useful, at least at lower levels.

Another technique is the Star-Picking Hand, a grappling skill that can seal a cultivator's dantian meridians. With Lu Qian's current cultivation level, he cannot unleash its full power yet, but he can still use it.

What surprised Lu Qian the most was his Star Undying Body. It not only increased his strength, but more importantly, it improved his physique. His bones, which were fused with the essence of star stones, could now withstand magical artifacts.

When things really get dangerous, they can withstand more blows, which is naturally a great thing.

It's a pity he didn't have the true support of the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao technique, otherwise he felt his Star Undying Body would be even stronger.

After about half a month, Lu Qian felt that he had completed his training and was about to break through.

"My cultivation speed is considered extremely fast among those with three spiritual roots, but it's all thanks to my own hard work; I don't feel like my foundation is weak!"

He was able to cultivate so quickly by optimizing his cultivation techniques, strengthening his meridians with the Star Immortal Body, and utilizing the special ability of this Starfall Land to increase cultivation speed. Of course, the effects of the previous Xuan Whale Banquet also played a role.

With so many advantages combined, Lu Qian felt that his current cultivation speed was a bit slow.

"In fact, although the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao (a type of acupoint) has brought many benefits, its greatest advantage has not yet been realized."

The true power of the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao lies in its ability to illuminate all laws.

Opening a mind-body point and having a spirit reside within it can help improve comprehension, memory, and learning ability.

The mental acuity he has gained so far has helped Lu Qian a great deal. Many things that he couldn't understand before, he can now easily comprehend, and his comprehension has improved considerably.

But this is only the beginning. When he opens up more star apertures in the future, his comprehension will reach an incredible level. He can replicate a spell after seeing it once and master it after hearing the incantation once. He will truly learn it in one go.

Even if the enemy has just cast a spell, he can see through it immediately, learn it, and cast it as well.

Although these are all theoretical things, Lu Qian's feelings are very real. As long as he continues to cultivate the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao, his comprehension will eventually be enough to reach the heavens, and he will be able to learn and understand everything in no time.

In comparison, while the inheritances associated with the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao are certainly powerful, they are not so powerful as to be unparalleled in the world. And the improvement in comprehension brought about by the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao seems to be something that no other cultivation method can achieve.

"As long as I cultivate the Heavenly Cycle Star Aperture, what does it matter if I have three spiritual roots when my enlightenment reaches the divine level? I can still become an immortal!"

Lu Qian couldn't help but secretly make up his mind!

He didn't care much about the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao at first, just regarding it as a stepping stone for advancement, but now that he has felt the benefits, his determination to cultivate the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao has become stronger!

After all, Lu Qian only has three spiritual roots, which is a fact that is difficult to change at this stage. He can only be considered to have reached the passing grade. Compared with those with earth spiritual roots and heaven spiritual roots, he is undoubtedly far inferior.

The only thing that could allow Lu Qian to overtake others was his talent for the Mind World, and improving his comprehension could maximize the potential of the Mind World.

With the ability to make endless mistakes in his inner world and sufficient comprehension, Lu Qian simply couldn't imagine what could possibly stump him!

After some mental contemplation, Lu Qian began preparing to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining. Of course, he wouldn't act immediately; he had to break through in his mental world first.

He has three spiritual roots, but he probably doesn't need a breakthrough pill to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

After regulating his breathing in his mind's world for a while, Lu Qian immediately circulated his true energy and began to break through. The whole process was very smooth with almost no obstacles, but he still carefully checked his physical condition to make sure that no problems arose.

Beside Lu Qian, a humanoid figure appeared, with tiny red dots on it, representing the meridians damaged during the breakthrough process.

Since it was a forced breakthrough, it was unlikely that it would have no impact at all. However, by adjusting his qi circulation route, he repeatedly made the red color in the virtual humanoid gradually decrease until it disappeared completely.

After trying dozens of times, Lu Qian finally returned to reality and broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining in one go.

This time, there were no surprises at all. After the breakthrough, he felt refreshed and his foundation was solid. He was completely unaffected by any negative impact.

"It's time to come out of quarantine!"

Next, Lu Qian will venture into the Tower of Ten Thousand Laws and learn more spells.

In any case, he has already reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining, so he is at least not insignificant, and he is barely enough to form a team.
