My supernatural profession is too unique.

An hour later, the spiritual energy in the body's meridians completed one cycle of the cultivation technique.

He only had one-third of the spirit crystals left.

"The effects of this training have almost doubled."

"Moreover, the spiritual energy within him is even more refined."

Sensing the changes in the spiritual energy within his body, Li Ling's face lit up with surprise.

[Trainee Police Officer in Charge of Kitchen Affairs] This favorability rating is truly outstanding!

Not only that, at this moment, he felt that his meridians were noticeably stronger and he was able to continue absorbing spiritual energy.

Originally, his meridian strength was about sufficient after circulating the qigong twice a day.

If you cultivate too much, your meridians may be damaged due to the erosion caused by spiritual energy.

But this did not happen.

He realized that this was also a benefit brought about by the increased favorability of the [Trainee Police Officer] and the skill enhancement.

"With this kind of effect, it won't take more than half a month to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining."

Li Ling's face lit up with joy as he thought to himself.

After recovering slightly, he continued his meditation.

I still have four spirit crystals on hand, enough to last me a few days.

······.

The next morning.

"call!"

Li Ling exhaled a breath of stale air, ending one cycle of his cultivation technique.

The spirit crystal in his hand also became completely dull and lifeless.

[Kitchen Official Trainee Police Officer] Favorability +0.5 (Training progress is good)

A notification appeared on the panel, and Li Ling remained calm.

Having grown accustomed to the stinginess of the "kitchen supervisor trainee police officer," he simply went along with it.

His gaze continued to sweep across the attribute panel.

Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 3 (85/100)

"One night of cultivation consumed two spirit crystals and increased my mana by 7 points."

"I still have two and a half spirit crystals left. I'll get two more in a few days, refine and absorb them all, and then I'll be able to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining."

Li Ling was making plans in his mind.

His points have reached the requirement for official membership; now all that's left is to complete his training.

Mid-stage Qi Refining is a mandatory requirement for becoming a Level 1 Police Officer.

With the current cultivation speed boosted by the [Trainee Police Officer] skill, as long as there are enough spirit crystals on hand, the progress can be greatly improved.

Thinking of this, Li Ling couldn't help but sigh.

We are so poor, so incredibly poor.

If you have enough spirit crystals, as your favorability with the [Kitchen Official Trainee Police Officer] increases, breaking through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining this month will not be a problem at all.

Unfortunately, obtaining spirit crystals in reality is not that easy.

The institute can only reward performance-based bonuses.

There are also black markets outside, but they are ridiculously expensive.

It's not something he can get right now.

"In addition, before that, we need to apply to the institute for the right to use the temple."

Li Ling stroked his chin and thought to himself.

Temples are places where professional cultivators can cultivate, gain insights, and break through bottlenecks.

Within the Immortal Alliance, the setup of temples varies across different organizations.

Police officers in local police stations deal with evil spirits and malevolent forces year-round, so the temples mainly enshrine deities associated with fire and thunder.

There are gods such as the Kitchen God, the Fire God, and the Thunder God.

The more a police officer's awakened profession matches these divine positions, the better the effect of cultivation and enlightenment.

However, the Western District Police Station has four action teams, more than 100 officers, plus dozens of trainee officers.

To use the temple, you need to apply and earn rewards based on performance.

"I don't have enough performance targets on hand right now!"

Thinking of this, Li Ling frowned.

Fortunately, there are still two weeks left, so we should be able to collect 100 performance points.

As Li Ling got up from the ground, he stretched his slightly numb muscles and bones.

I've been cultivating since last night, for several hours now. Although my spiritual energy is abundant, I'm inevitably feeling tired.

Looking up at the window, I saw that it was already bright outside.

Today is my ten-day rest day. As a trainee police officer, I get one day off every ten days.

He's almost done cultivating the Crimson Flame Technique.

Too much of a good thing can be bad; continuing to cultivate will only damage your meridians.

"Let's test the power of [Stove Fire and Smoke] first. When we have time, we'll practice the [Wild Ox Technique]."

Li Ling thought to himself.

A strong physical physique is also a great guarantee for personal safety.

After all, most professional cultivators excel in magical power, and it takes time to condense magical power and perform techniques.

Even if the time is short, it will be very dangerous if the enemy gets close during this process.

Therefore, it is necessary to enhance physical defense.

At the same time, practicing martial arts and combining it with the [Strongman] class's skills that grant immense strength can also unleash powerful combat capabilities.

Immediately, his spiritual energy circulated within him, and the fire in his hand slowly condensed.

Unlike the original stove fire, it had wisps of bluish smoke rising from it.

This smoke was no ordinary smoke; it bore a resemblance to the Crimson Flame Glass Lamp that Xu Yufang had used yesterday.

It can track and suppress evil spirits.

At the same time, the smoke can also be used to aid in the refining of elixirs and the cooking of food.

As the smoke rose, Li Ling felt a sense of peace wash over him.

The anxiety I've been feeling lately because of the probationary period has eased somewhat at this moment.

"Just in terms of calming the soul, the effect of [Smoke from the Stove] is really quite good."

Feeling that his magical power was being depleted, Li Ling put away the stove fire.

As for the other two effects, we'll try them out when we have the chance.

Needless to say, its ability to ward off evil spirits is excellent, and its ability to assist in alchemy is also extremely useful.

After all, refining pills is also a way to improve one's cultivation level and gain performance.

However, the most important thing right now is to get a permanent position.

Other options will only be considered after I've been officially hired.

He immediately took out the jade slip of "The Wild Ox Manual", placed it on his forehead, concentrated his mind, and focused his spiritual consciousness into it to read it.

Soon a large amount of information suddenly appeared in my mind.

The "Raging Bull Technique" has only three moves: Raging Bull Charge, Raging Bull Protection, and Raging Bull Mountain Breaker.

Each posture is accompanied by a visualization diagram and a method for circulating meridians.

Li Ling watched for more than ten minutes, memorized the information, and then logged out.

The choice of "The Secret of the Wild Ox" was indeed correct.

If one cultivates successfully, one can condense powerful internal energy, which, when combined with the [Strongman] class, can be used for both defense and offense.

Once mastered, the power of the Gang Jin (罡劲) is comparable to that of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

The stronger the internal force, the more astonishing its power.

"Let's give it a try."

Li Lingxuan immediately went to the balcony.

First, I stretched my muscles and bones.

Next, visualize the first move in your mind: the charging bull.

Squat down with your legs shoulder-width apart, hands at shoulder level, back straight, and use the martial arts meridians activated by the [Strongman] class to circulate your internal energy and blood.

After assuming the correct posture, Li Ling slowly adjusted her breathing.

The blood and qi in the body rise and fall with each breath, flowing slowly through the meridians.

When he felt a slight sensation of energy, he slowly unfolded his fists, the movements slow yet powerful.

The "Raging Bull Technique" emphasizes breaking through techniques with brute force. Its core lies in "strength," and by cooperating with strength-based professions, it can unleash the strongest combat power.

This is perfect for Li Ling's Warrior class.

The profession's characteristic of immense strength seems tailor-made for the Wild Bull Technique.

Li Ling had never practiced martial arts before, but he quickly got the hang of it.

With each breath, a surge of heat flowed through my body.

Another half hour passed, and the heat flow was able to complete the entire first movement's path without any stiffness.

Li Ling finished his practice, stood up, and suddenly threw a punch.

A loud whooshing sound arose.

[Warrior] Affection +1 (Slightly satisfied with the progress of this training)

A line of small text floated across the panel, and a look of joy flashed in Li Ling's eyes.
