Exorcism Cheat System, Third Layer Qi Condensation

"Well done! Decisive and ruthless!"

Just as Zhong Bai was pondering how he would earn Exorcism Points in the future, True Immortal Qianyuan slowly emerged from the shadows.

Hearing this, Zhong Bai's earlobes turned a little red. He wasn't quite as admirable as his master described.

The reason Zhong Bai could act without fear was that he knew his master would never let him fall into danger. Having a safety net gave him courage.

However…

Zhong Bai wouldn't voice such thoughts, and True Immortal Qianyuan didn't consider it either.

The matter at Qian Family Village concluded there. Early the next morning, True Immortal Qianyuan and Zhong Bai set off on their journey back to Maoshan.

Another day of travel…

Upon returning to Maoshan, Zhong Bai's tense nerves began to relax, and he finally had the chance to examine his Exorcism Points panel.

In the small courtyard.

Sitting on a meditation cushion, Zhong Bai looked thoughtfully at the Exorcism Points panel before him. Without hesitation, he reached out and tapped the plus sign next to Divine Firmament Five Thunder Art, entering the number 100.

In an instant, Zhong Bai felt his entire being turn ethereal, as if he had arrived in another world!

[Consumed 100 Exorcism Points, exchanged for 100 days of Divine Firmament Five Thunder Art experience!]

Soon, in just a moment, the True Essence within Zhong Bai's body began to rapidly increase, and his comprehension of Divine Firmament Five Thunder Art likewise soared.

Even the Thunder Seal in his dantian glowed, solidifying a hundred times faster than usual.

However, just as Zhong Bai felt on the verge of touching the barrier to Qi Condensation third level, this rapid improvement state suddenly vanished.

Exiting the accelerated cultivation state, Zhong Bai's eyes held an unparalleled shock!

"This Exorcism Cheat System is truly incredible!"

In the end, all his myriad thoughts converged into this simple, unadorned sentence.

Zhong Bai couldn't believe it. If he could acquire a large number of Exorcism Points, could he push his Divine Firmament Five Thunder Art to the Foundation Establishment realm in a short time?

Yes, it was entirely possible!

In that case, Zhong Bai wouldn't have to worry about whether he could achieve Foundation Establishment within twenty years at all.

What a joke! He was a man with a cheat system now. Twenty years was too long; he would seize every moment!

The shock in his heart hadn't subsided when Zhong Bai, like one who had long thirsted and finally found sweet rain, unhesitatingly spent his remaining Exorcism Points.

[Consumed Exorcism Points to exchange for 210 days, consumed cultivation method: Divine Firmament Five Thunder Art]

Immediately after, that feeling of accelerated cultivation returned. In just a few minutes, the True Essence within Zhong Bai's body was infinitely close to Qi Condensation third level. In fact, at this very moment, if Zhong Bai wanted to, he could attempt to break through!

However, in the end, Zhong Bai didn't rush. It was true he was back in Maoshan, and it was true he was safe.

But… who knew what the consequences would be if Zhong Bai was at Qi Condensation second level in the morning and Qi Condensation third level by evening? Heh heh, never test human nature!

Zhong Bai would keep the secret of this Exorcism Cheat System hidden forever.

If he wanted to improve his cultivation without any reservations, he would have to wait until he graduated and was stationed down the mountain.

At that time, the sky would be the limit. For now, what Zhong Bai needed was powerful Divine Abilities and techniques!

Well, before, he felt he lacked the time and energy, but now Zhong Bai wanted it all…

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, three months slipped through Zhong Bai's fingers.

Currently, in the Law Enforcement Hall, Zhong Bai's eyes held a hint of joy. After three months of refinement, he finally felt the time was ripe to break through to Qi Condensation third level.

And now, True Immortal Qianyuan and Elder Liu Gang were there to protect him during the breakthrough.

"Disciple, relax. Divine Firmament Five Thunder Art cultivates very quickly in the early stages. I'm proud of you for being able to break through to Qi Condensation third level now!

However, during the breakthrough, you mustn't be careless. Once you fail, your meridians will be damaged, and the recovery time will be immeasurable."

Faced with his master's meticulous guidance, Zhong Bai was somewhat touched. He actually wanted to say that he didn't need such a grand setup for protection.

A month ago, Zhong Bai could no longer suppress his cultivation, but at that time, there wasn't enough time. Zhong Bai forcefully suppressing it for another month was truly his limit. Forget about needing assistance from the Kui Niu Drum; Zhong Bai felt he could break through as easily as drinking water, whether standing or lying down.

Fortunately, Zhong Bai understood that cooperating would better conceal his Cheat System. Otherwise, there truly would be no plausible explanation for such rapid and effortless cultivation.

"Master, this disciple understands. I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

As his words fell, Zhong Bai no longer suppressed the surging True Essence within his body. Like a flood breaking through a dam, the barrier to Qi Condensation third level shattered instantly.

Immediately after, a bolt of lightning from the Kui Niu Drum entered Zhong Bai's dantian. The Thunder Seal absorbed the lightning, solidifying a bit more. Only when everything settled did True Immortal Qianyuan feel a sense of unreality.

Which disciple breaks through to Qi Condensation third level with such speed?

Shouldn't normal people first meditate to calm their minds, cultivate their essence, qi, and spirit to the extreme, and then repeatedly attempt to break through the barrier?

His disciple… seemed a little abnormal.

However, this doubt was quickly drowned out by the joy of Zhong Bai's successful breakthrough.

"This disciple has not failed your expectations. Qi Condensation third level, achieved!"

"Hahaha, do you see, Liu Gang? This kid Zhong Bai has reached the height of Qi Condensation third level in less than four years!

Within twenty years, barring any accidents, he will definitely achieve Foundation Establishment!"

At this moment, True Immortal Qianyuan was smiling radiantly, and though Zhong Bai's face also held a full smile, he couldn't help but tease inwardly.

Tsk tsk, Master, twenty years? Forget about achieving Foundation Establishment, surpassing you will be a piece of cake. I just hope you won't be too surprised in twenty years...

After a bout of internal grumbling, Zhong Bai almost saw the scene twenty years later: himself having achieved Golden Core True Monarch, or even Nascent Soul Dao Lord, while his master questioned if he had even reached Foundation Establishment.

Shaking his head, Zhong Bai tried his best not to get too carried away. This world was real; having a Cheat System didn't mean Zhong Bai could be worry-free or do whatever he wanted.

A Cheat System that hadn't matured was nothing, let alone his current self, merely a young Daoist at Qi Condensation Level 3?

The road ahead was long and arduous; his path stretched far.

"Zhong Bai, you've now officially stepped into the threshold of Qi Condensation Level 3 and gained the qualification to use Thunder Techniques. However, I must still remind you of something.

Thunder Techniques consume an incredibly terrifying amount of True Essence. It's best to conserve it for crucial moments.

The true peak for Thunder Techniques cultivators is after reaching Foundation Establishment!"

As he spoke, True Immortal Qianyuan was truly afraid Zhong Bai would get carried away and descend the mountain just because he could use Thunder Techniques.

Indeed, within three months, Zhong Bai had left the mountain three times, all to perform tasks in villages and towns near Maoshan.

Zhong Bai had performed well in all three consecutive missions, but this didn't mean True Immortal Qianyuan could afford to be less vigilant.

It was like how most of those dried bones in the river belonged to people who knew how to swim.

"That's right, Junior Nephew Zhong Bai, Thunder Techniques possess astonishing destructive power, but at Qi Condensation Level 3, you've only just reached the point of barely being able to use them. You absolutely must not act impulsively."

Liu Gang also spoke earnestly. Normally, Liu Gang wouldn't offer Zhong Bai any guidance, as Zhong Bai wasn't his disciple, and he couldn't overstep his bounds by preaching.

But on this matter, Zhong Bai was not only True Immortal Qianyuan's disciple but also a future Foundation Establishment candidate for Maoshan's Law Enforcement Hall.

Saying these things was Liu Gang's responsibility.

"This disciple understands, Master, Uncle Liu. This disciple is not a reckless, ignorant fool. I prioritize my own safety above all else. Only by living can there be a future. This disciple understands this principle."

"Mm, I know your character; you're steady. Your Uncle Liu and I are merely reminding you. Just keep it in mind.

Oh, right, disciple, at Qi Condensation Level 3, you are, by rights, able to go to the Scripture Repository Pavilion to select a Divine Ability.

Would you like to go choose one?"

As he said this, True Immortal Qianyuan carried a hint of uncertainty.
