Chapter 7: Awakening an Ability!
Qi Xuan stayed in the Tree Hole all night.
To be honest, the environment in the Tree Hole was not good.
The smell was strange, damp and moldy, and also with a bit of a rotten smell.
The surrounding movements were also rustling non-stop, flying, jumping, crawling, buzzing, there were always all kinds of bugs taking turns.
Even though he was very merciful, only giving each bug a slap, he still slapped them intermittently for a whole night.
He had to admire those people in web novels who dared to meditate in the wild, no wonder they could cultivate immortality.
Look at this composure, being surrounded by bugs and not moving, he couldn’t compare.
He still had to practice.
Fortunately, after a busy night, he still had results—
He killed a total of one hundred and twenty-seven bugs.
Wrong, wrong.
He successfully entered the Qi Refining First Level.
Bugs really affected cultivation, and were very annoying, but he had high aptitude, and even with the slow and choppy practice, he still entered the Qi Refining First Level, it was a natural progression.
But if the Qi Refining First Level had a water level, he had only filled the thinnest layer at the bottom now, maybe only taking up one-tenth of the entire water level?
To be honest, this cultivation speed made it hard for him to accept.
What about the Chaos Limitless Spiritual Root?
What about the world’s top aptitude?
Even if he couldn’t reach the Foundation Stage overnight, at least he should cultivate to the Qi Refining Third or Fourth Level overnight, what was one-tenth of a level? Those who didn’t know would think he was going to be a waste-turned-genius.
Did he get the wrong script, brother?
But even though he was complaining, Qi Xuan was still quite clear about the reason for this.
Cultivators pursuing a quiet room was not without reason, like last night, he spent almost half the time on the slapping, and the other half of the time was spent preparing for the slapping.
You’re slapping all night, what thoughts do you have to use for cultivation?
A more important point was the external environment.
Cultivation required a large amount of Spiritual Energy, but the outside environment didn’t give it to him.
That thin Spiritual Energy that was almost imperceptible was like a krill placed in front of a whale, it was too much effort to eat a bite.
Anyway, Qi Xuan was temporarily helpless with these two troubles, he could only try to find a place with fewer bugs and higher Spiritual Energy to cultivate—hopefully, it wouldn’t be occupied by Ferocious beasts in advance.
But entering the Qi Refining First Level still brought him considerable benefits.
Yesterday he was still an ordinary person, today he was a genuine Cultivator.
This was a qualitative change.
Specifically, his five senses were further enhanced—
The stench in the Tree Hole was even more stinky, the sound of mosquitoes and flies flying was clearer, and there were more goosebumps when bugs crawled on his body.
And even his night blindness was cured on the spot, he could see all kinds of bugs crawling on the trees at a glance.
In addition, his physical level was also greatly enhanced.
But this was difficult to test in the Tree Hole.
Qi Xuan pushed aside the leaves blocking the entrance and crawled out.
First, he tried a hundred-meter sprint, estimating it was about eleven seconds.
On flat ground, he could easily be a world-class athlete.
You must know that before this, he was a homebody who didn’t exercise all year round.
This improvement was simply terrifying.
Then he excitedly did other tests, long jump, high jump, push-ups, obstacle course, boxing… a series of tests ended, and the final results were quite pleasing.
Except for boxing, because his hands hurt too much, he chose to give up, the results in other areas were almost comparable to top athletes.
This was an all-around improvement in strength, speed, endurance, and nerve response!
“No wonder everyone wants to cultivate immortality.”
Qi Xuan couldn’t help but feel emotional.
If he went back to Blue Star, not to mention participating in competitions everywhere to earn prize money, even if he delivered takeout, he could still be a delivery king.
This was only the Qi Refining First Level, if it was the Qi Refining Ninth Level, or even the Foundation Stage, Golden Core, wouldn’t he have to fly to deliver takeout?
He retracted his drifting thoughts and focused his attention on his ability.
The Qi Condensation Realm of the Myriad Transformations Supreme True Skill was also called the Nine Transformations of Qi Condensation, and each level would awaken a special ability.
He had now entered the Qi Refining First Level, and naturally, he had also awakened the corresponding ability.
Refining Essence, this was the ability he had awakened.
Those who often read cultivation novels should know the concept of Refining Essence into Qi, this generally refers to the initial stage of cultivation, eating a large amount of food, refining the essence within it to benefit oneself, and assisting cultivation.
For example, if your strength was not enough, the Spiritual Energy, this little bitch, wouldn’t pay attention to you, but you wanted to cultivate, then you could only generate electricity yourself through Refining Essence into Qi.
But Qi Xuan possessed the Chaos Limitless Spiritual Root, this top-level cultivation aptitude, and there was no such trouble at all.
He didn’t have to do anything, just standing there, those Spiritual Energy little bitches would scramble to get into his body, fearing that they wouldn’t get in fast enough.
So the effect of Refining Essence into Qi was not very useful to him.
Instead, the Devour characteristic it implied was very important to him.
Refining Essence could refine food, so what could be considered food?
The answer was simple, whatever he ate, he could refine.
Of course, refining was refining, whether he could refine it successfully was another matter.
If he ate a stone, it might take forty-nine days to digest, but the problem was that he wouldn’t get much nutrition.
Furthermore, like those ferocious poisons, he could refine them, but the poison might take effect faster, and he would be gone before he finished refining.
So there were still many hidden restrictions on this ability.
But for Qi Xuan, it was also the most suitable ability, especially since he was now in the Dense forest, if he couldn’t find any food to eat, he could at least gnaw on a few branches, and at least he could hold on for a while longer, and wouldn’t be starved to death by tree bark like the famine victims.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuan casually took out a Secret Pomegranate, and after eating the fruit in a few bites, he found that he was even hungrier.
Refining Essence was indeed a good thing, but it was not good to refine too fast.
He had to, he ate five or six more Secret Pomegranates, barely filling his stomach.
At this rate, the Secret Pomegranates he harvested yesterday might only be enough for him to eat today.
He still had to find food.
He had to store up more.
If he had food at home, he wouldn’t panic.
He looked at the sun in the sky, and Qi Xuan chose the direction he explored yesterday and continued to walk forward.
Retracing this road, because of the improvement of his five senses, he discovered many details that were easily overlooked, and even dug out two ground potatoes from the grass on the side of the road, and had a good start on the spot.
When he arrived at the place where he knocked down the Secret Pomegranate Tree yesterday, there were still broken Branches of the Secret Pomegranate Tree scattered on the ground, and there were no Wild Beast footprints around, almost exactly the same as when he left.
But the person had become different.
“Now that I have entered the Qi Refining First Level, I am a genuine Cultivator, I should be able to Live Stream for a little longer than yesterday, right?”
With a slightly apprehensive mood, Qi Xuan opened the Live Stream.
