A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Romeo: Not yet. I came to the Sutra Library mainly to find my sister Xiaonan. Magic is secondary.

KP: Fine, I'll get someone to fork it out for you.

Romeo: No, I have already paid the entrance fee. If I can’t touch Xiaonan, please at least let me touch the magic scroll.

KP: Then hurry up or get out of here!

Romeo: Does Lao Han have any suggestions?

Han Buli: Lao Luo, your Fighting and Iron Bone Skills are both close combat skills. You still lack a magic skill that can deal with long-range attacks. Otherwise, with only 20% of your dodge rate, you will be blown into pieces when encountering long-range artillery.

Romeo: That makes sense. Then I will learn some gold-based long-range magic.

Han Buli: No, both of your magic skills are from the gold system. You will be beaten into pieces if you encounter the fire system. Change to a different system.

Romeo: That makes sense. Then KP, give me a long-range physical magic of the earth element.

KP: BYD has quite a lot of requirements, I'm lucky.

Romeo: Lucky, 22/45, success.

KP: Tsk, you're lucky. You just happened to come across a scroll of [Flying Rock Technique] while wandering around.

[Flying Rock] A long-range physical magic, 6MP, uses spiritual power to strengthen the body, condenses the earth into rocks and throws them at the opponent, causing 1d6+6 points of earth damage.

Han Buli: Lao Luo, your painting style is becoming less and less like that of an immortal cultivator.

Romeo: That feels good. After learning this magic, can I make a big stone anytime and anywhere?

KP: No, you think this is a conceptual superpower. It has environmental limitations. At least there must be soil and stones around.

Romeo: Tsk, that's boring.

KP: You learn it or not, you learn it or not!

Romeo: Learn, learn, learn.

罗密欧：飞岩术，（75+【1d100：18】）/2=46

Han Buli: 18? No, buddy, your comprehension is extremely low.

Romeo: Damn!

019 Finally broke through (day 13)

KP: After learning the magic, it was already noon when Han Buli and Romeo walked out of the Sutra Library.

KP: So, you have half a day left, what are you going to do?

Han Buli: I'm going to the Central Hall to see if there are any new tasks on the second level of Qi Refining.

KP: While Qi Refining Level 2 is a step up from Level 1, it's still considered a low-level disciple within the Chengtian Sect. Therefore, the types of quests you can accept each day vary greatly, with only the workload and rewards increasing. Overall, the sect prefers you, the young Karami, to focus on Qi Refining and improving your cultivation rather than completing quests.

KP: However, you noticed that among the many odd jobs and errands, there was one task that seemed a little special.

Mission: Descend the mountain to Jiping Village to investigate the recent disappearances. Reward: 40 low-level spirit stones. It is recommended that you have multiple people and must be at least at the second level of Qi Refining.

Han Buli: This must be the team dungeon we talked about before. I will go to refine my Qi first. When Brother Xiao Zhendace succeeds in breaking through, we will go down the mountain together to complete the mission.

Xiao Huohuo: I'm so touched. (Expressionless)

Romeo: KP, can you arrange a romantic encounter for me?

KP: It depends on who the person is. If it’s Sima Wu, I would be happy to do it.

Romeo: Forget it, I'd better go and practice Qi.

KP: OK, then you can start refining your Qi. However, half of the day has already passed, so the spiritual energy you gain will also be halved.

Han Buli: Qi Refining, [1d15:9] (9% of Qi Refining Level 2)

Romeo: Qi Refining, [1d15:11] (Qi Refining Level 2 11%)

KP: Okay, that’s all for today.

……

KP: Day 13.

Han Buli: I'm going to ask Brother Sima for some living expenses first.

KP: Okay, then you found Sima Wu with ease and took the 60 spirit stones from him.

Han Buli: Well, it’s such a pleasure to work with me, Brother Sima.

Sima Wu: Hmm? You've reached the second level of Qi Refining?

Han Buli: Yes, yes, thanks to the spirit stones you gave me, Brother Sima, I managed to break through.

Sima Wu: Humph, it seems you have some talent. My cultivation is worth it. What level has that big fool reached now? Did you give him the Qi-Restricting Powder?

Han Buli: He drank it. He is currently stuck at the first level of Qi Refining, preparing for a breakthrough. He locks himself in the room every day, waiting for the drug to take effect and ruin him.

Romeo: Ah? When did you give it to me?

Han Buli: "It's the boss who's asking me questions, so I have to explain it to him. Lao Luo, you should just stay in your room and concentrate on refining your Qi for the time being. Otherwise, if Sima Wu finds out you've reached the second level of Qi Refining, we'll be in big trouble."

Romeo: What about Sister Xiaonan?

Han Buli: Do you think you can meet her without practicing Qi?

Romeo: Damn!

KP: After hearing what you said, Sima Wu raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

Sima Wu: Oh? I didn't realize you were so nimble. Are you deliberately lying to me?

Han Buli: How, how could this be, Brother Sima? We made a blood oath, and it was thanks to your support that I was able to break through. Now that things have come to this, how could I betray you and shoot myself in the foot?

Sima Wu: Yes, that’s true.

KP: Sima Wu was obviously very pleased with your timid explanation.

Han Buli: By the way, let me ask Sima Wu if he needs my help to keep an eye on other people besides Lao Luo, such as Ya Xiaonan.

Xiao Huohuo: Old Han, have you really become a lackey?

Han Buli: Know yourself and know your enemy. If Sima Wu wants to attack Ya Xiaonan, I can notify Lao Luo immediately.

Romeo: Good brother!

KP: Upon hearing this, Sima Wu waved his hand, his eyes somewhat gloomy.

Sima Wu: You just need to keep an eye on that big guy. As for that lowly servant... Humph, do you think you can rest easy just because Han Ning'er is on the list? I don't even take the Han family seriously.

KP: After saying that, Sima Wu left.

Han Buli: It seems that Ya Xiaonan is safe with Han Ning'er for the time being, but I am very curious about how they got together.

Jeanne: What's so strange about that? Girls tend to get along easily, especially someone like Han Ning'er who appears cold on the outside but warm on the inside. When she meets someone like Ya Xiaonan who's caring, they naturally become close friends.

Romeo: Good friend. (Happy)

Xiao Huohuo: A good friend. (Sad)

Han Buli: A good friend. (meaningful)

KP: You guys understand best friends.

KP: Okay, you can start today's action. Those who need to refine their Qi should refine their Qi, and those who need to break through should break through.

Xiao Huohuo: Spiritual Energy Value [1d20:9] (100% of the first level of Qi Refining)

Success rate of magic [1d10:8] (97% for Thunder Curse)

Joan of Arc: Spiritual Energy [1d20:6] (100% of the first level of Qi Refining)

Success rate of immortal magic [1d10:4] (86% for rain magic)

Xiao Huohuo: Hey cat, my thunder is almost maxed out, can the dice girl give me some help?

Han Buli: Experience is the fastest to be filled up.

Romeo: The breakthrough is the last one to pass.

Xiao Huohuo: Damn!

KP: Oh, it seems so pitiful. If you still can't pass it, I'll give you a bonus die next time you break through.

Xiao Huohuo: You sign a document!

Jeanne: KPKP and me too.

KP: I know, I know. You guys roll the dice first.

Xiao Huohuo: Breakthrough to the second level of Qi Refining, 11/20, success.

Joan of Arc: Breakthrough to the second level of Qi Refining, 5/20, success.

Xiao Huohuo: Holy shit!

Joan of Arc: Holy shit!

Romeo: Bullfrog. Bullfrog.

Han Buli: It’s not easy, let’s set up two tables tonight to celebrate.

Xiao Huohuo: My brothers are moved to tears. After enduring countless days and nights, I finally crossed this threshold and saw a glimmer of hope. I would like to thank the sect for their cultivation, thank Sima for their support, thank KP for his ruthless guidance, and thank Dice Lady for showing mercy.

Han Buli: You just don't want to thank your brother, right? (Angry)

Xiao Huohuo: Thank you, of course I appreciate it. 20 spirit stones per person!

Romeo: The boss is very generous.

Han Buli: Why are you thanking me? We lost 10 spirit stones after all.

Xiao Huohuo: So funny.

KP: I didn't expect you two passed it on the same day. You two really have a good chemistry. Increase your HP and MP by [1d6].

萧火火：HP：18+【1d6：5】=23；MP：14+【1d6：4】=18

贞德：HP：13+【1d6：6】=19；MP：16+【1d6：3】=19

Han Buli: Turtle, the bonus from your two breakthroughs is really impressive.

Xiao Huohuo: It's normal to have a lot of accumulation. (Smiling)

Romeo: Then the question is, are you brother and sister or sister and brother?

Xiao Huohuo: I rolled the dice first, so of course they are brother and sister.

Joan of Arc: I am younger, so of course we are siblings.

KP: I think you two should be brother and sister on odd-numbered days, and sister and brother on even-numbered days.

Xiao Huohuo: It’s not impossible. Today is the 13th day. Let me call you brother first.

Joan of Arc: Get out!

KP: Okay, the situation with Xiao Huohuo and Joan of Arc has finally come to an end. Han Buli and Romeo, you can now pass the Qi Refining assessment.

Han Buli: Qi Refining, [1d30:24] (33% of Qi Refining Level 2)

Romeo: Qi Refining, [1d30:15] (Qi Refining Level 2 26%)

Han Buli: Sure, sure. Let’s get ready tonight and go down the mountain to complete the mission together tomorrow.

Romeo: Yeah!

————————————————————————————————————

Regarding the problem of breakthrough being too difficult that everyone complains about.

I set a 20% base breakthrough chance because, firstly, I didn't want my combat power to collapse too quickly, avoiding a situation where my Jindan level reached a ceiling in the early stages and then became worthless in the later stages. Secondly, due to level suppression and the increasing HPMP bonuses, the value of each level of Qi Refining isn't as low as in typical immortal cultivation novels. In terms of aptitude, the advantage of a Grade A disciple lies in their cultivation speed, specifically their spiritual energy gain. For example, a Grade B disciple only gains [1d20] spiritual energy per day of Qi Refining, while a Grade C disciple only gains [1d15] (Joan of Arc: Luckily, I made it).

However, it is also true that the low probability affects the viewing experience. After all, this is the first time I have written an article on this subject, and I lack experience. There are indeed many pain points that need to be improved, and I will improve them one by one later.

Anyway, I will control the rhythm well, so please stay tuned. (Funny)

020 But she is really too big... (day 14)

KP: Okay, starting from the 14th day, you can prepare to go down the mountain and cause trouble.
