A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

KP: Sima Wu left with great satisfaction.

Xiao Huohuo: Then follow the old rules. Today I will practice magic first and then break through to the second level.

Xiao Huohuo: Spiritual Energy Value, [1d20:15] (100% of the first level of Qi Refining)

The success rate of the magic is [1d10:1] (69% for the Thunder Curse)

Xiao Huohuo:?

KP: It can be seen that the two consecutive failures in breakthrough have caused some changes in your mentality, so that you are absent-minded all day long, and you have only made no progress in practicing magic in the arena for a whole day.

Fang Yuan: Junior Brother Xiao, why have you been a little absent-minded these past two days? Did something happy happen to you?

Xiao Huohuo: Brother Fang, is there something wrong with your logic... Never mind! Brother Fang, I've been stuck at a bottleneck these past few days and can't break through. Do you have any tricks that can help me break through to the second level of Qi Refining?

Fang Yuan: Gathering Spirit Pavilion, Gathering Spirit Pill, 200 spirit stones, not expensive.

Xiao Huohuo: But I don’t have that many spirit stones.

Fang Yuan: It’s not difficult to complete tasks, find friends, and do favors.

Xiao Huohuo: I see. Then, I wonder if you, Senior Brother Fang...

Fang Yuan: There is a dispute that needs to be mediated. Sorry, I'm leaving now.

Xiao Huohuo: Damn!

KP: Stop struggling and roll the dice.

Xiao Huohuo: broke through to the second level of Qi Refining, 97/20, almost failed.

Spiritual energy loss: [1d10:5] (95% of the first level of Qi Refining)

Xiao Huohuo: ...

Joan of Arc: Don't dice, I'm scared.

Romeo: If it doesn't work, we brothers will find a way to get you a Spirit Gathering Pill.

Han Buli: No, look at Lao Xiao’s dice rolls. Even if the Spirit Gathering Pill comes, it won’t work.

KP: Okay, forget about the bad luck for now, you guys can go through the Qi Refining judgment.

Han Buli: Qi Refining, [1d30:17] (92% of Qi Refining Level 1)

Romeo: Qi Refining, [1d30:29] (100% of Qi Refining level)

Jeanne: Qi Refining, [1d30:1] (93% of Qi Refining level)

Joan of Arc: ???

Han Buli: What's wrong with you, Zhendace? Do you feel that practicing too quickly will cause your foundation to become unstable, so you're staying put for two days to stabilize it?

Joan of Arc: I'm a little angry.

Romeo: Okay, okay, brothers and sisters, stop arguing and just watch my performance.

Romeo: Breakthrough to the second level of Qi Refining, 85/20, failed.

Spiritual energy loss: [1d10:3] (97% of the first level of Qi Refining)

Romeo: It's okay.

Xiao Huohuo: Good brother.

Joan of Arc: Emmm, I suddenly feel that what Han Buli said is quite right. Practicing too fast does seem to lead to an unstable foundation.

Romeo: Come on, here are the dice for you, you roll them!

Xiao Huohuo: KP, let’s fast forward to tomorrow. Tomorrow we will all roll the dice together for a breakthrough. I want to see who is the real unlucky one!

KP: It’s funny, I want to see it too.

……

KP: So, time comes to the crucial tenth day.

Xiao Huohuo: Go, go, go, Lao Luo, let’s go to the arena.

Romeo: Roar!

Xiao Huohuo: Spiritual Energy Value, [1d20:10] (100% of the first level of Qi Refining)

The success rate of the magic is [1d10:8] (77% for the Thunder Curse)

Xiao Huohuo: That’s right, I get the feeling!

Romeo: Spiritual Energy: [1d20:8] (100% at the first level of Qi Refining)

The success rate of the magic is [1d10:1] (53% for Iron Bones)

ROMEO: Yes, right?

Han Buli: Then I'll go to the arena too. [1d20] should be enough.

Han Buli: Spiritual Energy Value, [1d20:18] (100% of the first level of Qi Refining)

Success rate of magic: [1d10:6] (85% chance for Fire Curse)

Han Buli: Stable.

Joan of Arc: Emmm, how about I go to the arena too?

Xiao Huohuo: I don't think it matters. There's no difference between [1d20] and [1d30] to you anyway.

Joan of Arc: Damn it! ...Forget it, I'll just concentrate on cultivating my Qi. (Accepting my fate)

Jeanne: Qi Refining, [1d30:22] (100% of Qi Refining level)

KP: Great, great! Now everyone's experience has been maximized and we're all on the same starting line. Now comes the most exciting moment.

Xiao Huohuo: This time... I will win!

Han Buli: The saying "slow and steady wins the race" is exactly what I am talking about.

Romeo: Lady, I adore your teeth!

Joan of Arc: I've been stuck at the first level of Qi Refining for so long, watch me hit the target with one shot!

Xiao Huohuo: Breakthrough to Qi Refining Level 2, 66/20, failed. Spiritual Energy loss: [1d10:5].

Han Buli: Breakthrough to the second level of Qi Refining, 64/20, failed. Spiritual energy loss: [1d10:1].

Romeo: Breakthrough to Qi Refining Level 2, 89/20, failed. Spiritual Energy loss: [1d10:8].

Jeanne: Breakthrough to Qi Refining Level 2, 33/20, failed. Spiritual Energy loss: [1d10:6].

KP: Pfft!

017 On Friendship (Day 11)

KP: Cough! Cough cough!! Sorry I choked a little, let me take a break.

Romeo: Are you polite?

Xiao Huohuo: Hehe... already, nothing matters anymore...

Han Buli: It’s over, Brother Xiao is burned out.

Joan of Arc: Okay, okay, don’t be sad. Everyone failed.

Romeo: I think it must be the problem with the dice. Why don't we change the dice girl?

KP: Don’t blame the dice if you’re unlucky, and don’t blame the sect if you’re poor.

Han Buli: Blame Sima Wu, right?

KP: Music.

Romeo: KP, hurry up, I need to continue practicing my Breakthrough Teeth today!

KP: I know you're anxious, but don't worry. You received a summons from the sect early this morning, asking you to gather at the Mountain Gate Square.

Romeo: Hmm? What happened?

Han Buli: I don’t know, let’s see.

Xiao Huohuo: I won’t go. I want to bury myself in the quilt and shed my little pearls secretly by myself.

Han Buli: He looks so pitiful. Lao Luo, let's carry Brother Xiao over to one of our two sides.

Romeo: All right!

KP: So you drove Xiao Huohuo and arrived at the mountain gate square late, and found that there were already about fifty people gathered here, and everyone had a look of confusion and excitement on their faces.

KP: You just need to have one inspiration and succeed.

Xiao Huohuo: Inspiration, 11/30, success.

Xiao Huohuo: Damn! Why did you pass it to me now? Damn it! ...

Han Buli: I’m moved to tears.

KP: Xiao Huohuo noticed that many of the people present looked familiar. Upon closer thought, they were all the faces he had seen in the snow when he had gained enlightenment.

Han Buli: I think I know. When they opened their minds, they said the limit was ten days. So these fifty-odd people today must be the outer disciples who opened their minds successfully.

Romeo: I want to look for Ya Xiaonan and the others! Since all the students from the same period are here, I'm sure I can find them!

KP: Okay, so you easily spotted Ya Xiaonan in the crowd. Because they were so close to the icy Han Ning'er, a two-meter no-man's-land automatically formed around them, making them quite conspicuous. Furthermore, you noticed Sima Wu, not far away in the crowd, staring at Ya Xiaonan and the others with a gloomy look.

Romeo: Hey, you little bitch!

Han Buli: Shut up, I don’t allow you to say that about our bread and butter.

Joan of Arc: Her outburst of filial piety shocked her family.

KP: The next second, Ya Xiaonan and Sima Wu also noticed Romeo, who stood out from the crowd. The former's eyes were evasive, wanting to greet him but not daring enough, while the latter's eyes grew even darker. By the way, Xiao Huohuo, you can observe him.

Xiao Huohuo: Observation, 7/40, success.

Xiao Huohuo: What do you mean, Dice Girl? If you don't break through next time, I'm going to make a scene!

Han Buli: It’s a mess.

KP: Then, Xiao Huohuo, who was in the crowd, suddenly felt a cold gaze. He turned his head and unexpectedly met Han Ning'er's eyes. After a moment, Han Ning'er turned away, her face still expressionless, but her lips seemed to be pursed a little tighter.

Joan of Arc: Han Ning'er: No, I can't help but laugh when I see this sand wall that attracts lightning to strike it.

Xiao Huohuo:?

KP: Soon, when almost everyone in the square had arrived, a clear crane cry was heard. Everyone looked up and saw a figure landing from the back of the floating crane. It was the white-haired old man whom they had met before when they had awakened.

The white-haired old man: Since everyone is here, I will start right away. This gathering can be regarded as a true orientation to the sect. You are all outer disciples who have passed the awakening test and entered the sect. Although some of you have already familiarized yourself with the sect for a few days in advance, I believe you still have a vague understanding of the various areas of the sect.

KP: Then, the white-haired old man explained to the outer disciples the functions of the various buildings within Chengtian Sect, as well as the daily activities. It's what I told you before.

The white-haired old man: Finally, there is one more thing you all need to know. Next month, the sect will hold a disciple examination. At that time, 5 of you 51 outer disciples will be selected to be promoted to inner disciples. I hope you will cherish this opportunity and perform well.

Han Buli: Can I ask what benefits inner disciples receive?

White-haired old man: After becoming an inner disciple, he can receive 100 low-level spirit stones and a spirit gathering pill every month. In addition, he can also choose a low-grade magic weapon in the Hundred Refining Cave.

KP: After the white-haired old man finished speaking, excited discussions suddenly rang out among the crowd. There was no doubt that the generous rewards for the inner disciples had successfully stimulated their enthusiasm for cultivation.

Han Buli: Seriously? Only 100 spirit stones per month? I feel like it's even less valuable than Sima Wu's.

Romeo: Inner disciples are just here for fun. If you really want to practice, you have to rely on our Sima brother.

KP: The initiation meeting quickly concluded, and the 51 outer disciples dispersed, each beginning their own planned sprint toward their respective cultivation goals. However, the A-level disciples who had joined the sect earlier seemed much calmer. This was especially true of the disciples who had already reached the second level of Qi Refining. Their gazes now tinged with a touch of hostility.

Lin Yuxuan: Haha, everyone, don’t be so nervous. There are 5 spots in total, and I only need one.

Romeo: Oh my god, he's so arrogant, I love him!

KP: ?

Sima Wu: Humph, what a coincidence, I also want a spot, I hope you don’t take mine by being so blind.

Han Buli: Brother Wu is so domineering, I give him the top spot.

KP: What the fuck, can you guys be normal?

Han Ning'er: Boring, Xiaonan, let's go.

Ya Xiaonan: Ah... okay.
