Although Chen Ze complained that the Myriad Things System required Spirit Stones for everything, he ultimately chose not to give up.
Forget it, at least there's a cultivation interface that levels up spells just by using them. I'll just use this Myriad Things Space as a Storage Ring for now!
Chen Ze's consciousness withdrew from the Myriad Things Space. Without Spirit Stones, he couldn't activate the Myriad Things Shop, so he would have to plan for the long term.
Opening his eyes, Chen Ze paced around the room.
Even though it was night outside, he had no intention of sleeping on that dilapidated bed.
As he wandered, he toyed with the Ignition Art in his hands.
After a full circle, he hadn't found anything useful.
Chen Ze sighed.
There isn't even a place to sit.
He looked at that broken bed again.
Resigned, Chen Ze walked over and tossed the tattered quilt onto the floor.
He sat down on the bed, feeling dejected.
What am I supposed to do? Where am I going to get Spirit Stones?
I thought that since I'd arrived in a world of cultivation and was bound to a system, I could live like the protagonists in novels—seeking immortality, soaring through the skies, burrowing into the earth, and wielding flashy spells.
But looking at the current situation, relying solely on this automatic cultivation is a bit too difficult.
The main problem is that I have no specialized skills and no way to earn Spirit Stones.
After pondering for a while, Chen Ze still didn't have a clue, so he decided to lie down and rest.
However, seeing the ragged pillow on the bed made his temper flare up.
He reached out, grabbed the pillow, and prepared to throw it off the bed.
Huh! Is there something inside?
Chen Ze felt that this wasn't a cotton-stuffed pillow; it seemed to be filled with granules.
Chen Ze probed it again, but couldn't tell what it was.
He exerted force with his hand, and the pillow tore open.
Well, this body at the Qi Refining Second Layer is decent; it's much stronger than that weakling body from my previous life.
The moment the pillow was torn open, grains spilled all over the floor.
Chen Ze was puzzled. Did he stuff the pillow with grain to use as a core?
A moment later, as Chen Ze recalled the original owner's memories, his heart couldn't help but leap with joy.
These weren't ordinary grains; they were Spirit Rice Seeds, specifically kept by the original owner back when he was farming in the Qingyun Sect.
The original owner had originally thought that even if he left the Qingyun Sect, he could continue his old trade and keep growing Spirit Rice, so he wouldn't starve to death.
But after descending the mountain, he discovered that these Spirit Rice Seeds couldn't grow in mundane soil without the support of a formation.
Since he didn't know any formations, he could only store these Spirit Rice Seeds away as a memento.
This had been the final straw that broke the original owner; with no hope for cultivation, there was no motivation for life, leading him to drink himself to death.
After a sigh, Chen Ze looked at the Spirit Rice Seeds in his hand.
These Spirit Rice Seeds have been sitting here for so long, I wonder if they can still sprout?
After a moment of hesitation, Chen Ze picked up all the Spirit Rice that had spilled onto the floor and stuffed it back into the pillow.
I'll try putting them into the Myriad Things Space first. It just so happens that there is a Spirit Field inside.
I just don't know if these Spirit Rice Seeds can be planted in the Spirit Field while my physical body can't enter the Myriad Things Space.
Chen Ze then moved all the Spirit Rice Seeds into the Myriad Things Space.
Following Chen Ze's will, the pillowcase containing the Spirit Rice Seeds appeared right next to the Spirit Field inside the Myriad Things Space.
It really works. Even if my physical body doesn't enter, I can still control everything inside the Myriad Things Space.
Chen Ze felt a surge of joy, then proceeded to scatter the Spirit Rice Seeds across each small plot of the Spirit Field.
Planting Spirit Rice wasn't like planting spiritual herbs; he didn't need to limit each plot to a single stalk.
He scattered the Spirit Rice Seeds evenly across every small plot.
I don't know if they'll grow, but for now, I can only wait for the results.
Glancing at the Spirit Field, which was rich in Spiritual Energy, Chen Ze withdrew his consciousness.
Lying on the broken bed, Chen Ze boredly cast the Ignition Art, staring blankly at the weak flame on his fingertip.
After using the Ignition Art 19 times, Chen Ze suddenly felt his mind stall, and a wave of weakness swept through his entire body.
This Qi Refining Second Layer cultivation is just too weak. I only used it 20 times for such a tiny flame, and my spiritual power is already exhausted.
Chen Ze shook his head helplessly, sat up from the bed, crossed his legs, and according to his memories, circulated the Xuantian Record to recover his spiritual power.
Half an hour later, Chen Ze opened his eyes, his spiritual power restored to Perfection.
Having just transmigrated into this world, Chen Ze had no desire to sleep and continued to practice the Ignition Art.
He wanted to see what kind of changes would occur after using the Ignition Art 100 times.
The cultivation interface now displayed: Spell: Ignition Art (Entry) 21/100.
After another 20 uses of the Ignition Art, his spiritual energy was completely exhausted.
Chen Ze stopped the Ignition Art and continued to practice the Xuantian Record to recover his spiritual energy.
Just like that, over and over again, he finally used the Ignition Art one hundred times.
Name: Chen Ze Cultivation: Qi Refining Second Layer 51/100 Talent: Earth-element Low-grade Spiritual Root Technique: Xuantian Record (Entry) 6/100 Spell: Ignition Art (Proficient) 1/200 Myriad Things Space: Level 1
"The proficiency of the Ignition Art has now reached Proficient, and the requirement for the number of uses has also changed to 200. I didn't expect that after circulating the Xuantian Record five times, my cultivation actually increased by 1 point."
"If it goes on like this, practicing the Xuantian Record five times a day, wouldn't my cultivation break through to the Qi Refining Third Layer in less than two months?"
"The original owner spent fifteen years to reach the Qi Refining Second Layer, yet I can break through a layer of cultivation in just these two months."
"It seems that even this most trashy spiritual root can be cultivated rapidly."
Thinking of this, Chen Ze was overjoyed. "It seems this Cultivation World is still worth staying in. Longevity is in sight, and soaring through the skies, burrowing into the earth, moving mountains, and filling seas are also within reach."
In his delight, Chen Ze used the Ignition Art again; he wanted to test what difference the Ignition Art had now that its proficiency had reached Proficient.
With a "bang," the sound of flames burning the air rang out.
An egg-sized ball of fire appeared in the palm of Chen Ze's hand.
The sudden appearance of the sound and the firelight startled Chen Ze, and he almost flung the fireball away.
However, he managed to control himself just in time.
He had expected that when casting the Ignition Art this time, the flame would still appear on his fingertip.
Regaining his composure, Chen Ze looked at the egg-sized ball of fire in his hand.
"Reaching the Proficient level has already made that tiny flame grow more than tenfold. I wonder what it will be like when cultivated to the very end?"
The fireball in his hand extinguished, and Chen Ze glanced at the sky outside the window; it was gradually brightening.
However, Chen Ze didn't care. Regardless of whether it was dawn or not, cultivation was the most important thing right now.
Chen Ze wanted to cast the Ignition Art once more, but suddenly, he felt his vision go black.
"No, I can't keep grinding like this; my mind can't take it anymore." Chen Ze shook his head and rubbed his forehead.
"I still need to take it step by step, otherwise, if I keep going like this, I'll die of exhaustion sooner or later."
Thinking of this, Chen Ze decided to get some good rest first. His current cultivation was too low to reach the point where he didn't need to sleep every day.
Chen Ze lay directly on the dilapidated bed, and his exhausted mind allowed him to fall asleep instantly.
In his dream, Chen Ze imagined himself soaring through the skies and burrowing into the earth, sweeping across the entire Cultivation World, and looking down upon all the heroes.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound rang out.
It startled Chen Ze, who was still soaring on his flying sword, causing him to fall off and nearly scaring the soul out of his body.
Chen Ze woke up abruptly, his eyes snapping open.
What met his eyes was still that dilapidated room, and his heart settled. "Thank goodness it was just a dream."
His startled soul flew back into place.
However, at this moment, another series of urgent sounds rang out: "Bang! Bang! Bang!" followed by a shout.
"Chen, are you going to pay back the money? Don't think that just because you're not talking, I don't know you're home."
Only then did Chen Ze realize that someone was pounding on the door outside.
"Pay back money?"
Chen Ze was puzzled. When did he owe money? He didn't have the slightest memory of it.
