Fully Automatic Cultivation

Under Liu Yan's gaze, a mixture of pleading and dependence in her eyes, Qin Feng ultimately accepted the cold set of keys.

"Take a look, and tell me if you need anything else. I'll go buy it right away!"

"I don't need anything, really, nothing at all."

After a long period of polite back-and-forth, Qin Feng finally saw off the overly enthusiastic landlady.

"Click."

As the door to 502 closed, shutting out everything from the outside world, Qin Feng let out a long sigh of relief. Leaning against the cool door panel, he surveyed the new home that was about to be his, a sense of unreality washing over him.

This place was worlds apart from his previous rental, a place that rarely saw sunlight and where mushrooms grew in the corners.

There was no lingering smell of mold, no creaking bed frame, no unknown insects occasionally crawling out of the corners.

Here, it was quiet and bright.

Qin Feng walked over to the soft sofa and sat down, his body sinking deep into the comfortable cushions. Mental fatigue washed over him like a tide.

He went into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and let the warm water cascade down from above.

Qin Feng closed his eyes, allowing the water to wash away the physical exhaustion, as if cleansing the malevolent energy deep within his soul.

After showering and lying on the comfortable large bed, he finally had time to examine himself.

It was then that he suddenly felt something unusual.

A strange "hunger" emanated from deep within his abdomen.

It wasn't a craving for food, but a more fundamental, more domineering desire, like a dormant black hole quietly awakening.

Qin Feng's heart stirred, and he sank his consciousness into his body.

[Legendary Armament: Gluttony Stomach]

[Level: D]

[Effect: Your stomach has been reshaped. It can devour, digest, and absorb spiritual energy of all forms (including but not limited to resentment, spiritual power, demonic power), converting it into the purest energy to nourish the host, slowly increasing physical and Spiritual Sense strength.]

[Note: A good appetite leads to a good body. Don't be a picky eater, child.]

After advancing to the "Form Observation Realm," Qin Feng's control over himself reached a new height.

He clearly "saw" that in the position of his abdomen, where a normal organ should be, there was now an intangible, slowly rotating miniature vortex of energy.

It was quiet, silent, yet it exuded a terrifyingly domineering aura that seemed to devour all things.

Next, Qin Feng shifted his gaze to the entire room.

In his view, the air was no longer empty.

Countless particles of energy, as fine as dust and emitting faint light of various colors, drifted slowly with the airflow.

They were the most fundamental energy of this world—Spiritual Energy.

And at this moment, these colorful Spiritual Energy particles were being drawn by an invisible force, continuously, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, surging towards Qin Feng's body, and finally being silently devoured and digested by the miniature vortex in his abdomen.

The Gluttony Stomach was absorbing external Spiritual Energy at all times, automatically!

Qin Feng's heart leaped, then pounded uncontrollably!

This... wasn't this a 24-hour, fully automatic, AFK cultivation cheat?!

Others had to meditate, breathe, and visualize painstakingly just to capture a wisp of Spiritual Energy.

But he, as long as he was alive, as long as he was breathing, was getting stronger all the time!

Suppressing the ecstasy that was about to burst from his throat, Qin Feng took out his phone and opened the dark gold "Yellow Springs" app.

He directly found the basic cultivation method provided for free by the official—Qi Gathering Returning to Origin Art.

It was said to be a set of the most universal and stable introductory cultivation methods created by the Special Cases Department, combining the basic mental techniques of various factions and refining them.

Its advantage was safety and stability, its disadvantage was mediocre efficiency.

"Mediocre efficiency? That depends on who you're talking about!" Qin Feng's lips curved into an irrepressible arc.

The obscure ancient text and detailed meridian circulation diagrams posed no obstacle to him, a history major.

"Calm your mind, focus on your Dantian... guide the Qi into your body, connect through a hundred meridians..."

He sat cross-legged on the bed, following the mental incantations, and began to attempt to guide the pure energy converted by the Gluttony Stomach.

He had expected it to be a long and tedious process, as even basic cultivation methods were still cultivation, and there had to be some threshold.

Unexpectedly, with the boost from the "Item Affinity" divine skill, the learning speed for tools like cultivation methods was also ridiculously fast.

Just two hours later.

Qin Feng's eyes snapped open, a sharp glint flashing through them. He had succeeded!

At this moment, the energy within his body had formed a docile stream, accurately completing the first circulation cycle, finally settling in the Dantian's Sea of Qi, transforming into a faint but incredibly pure "Qi."

Qi Gathering Returning to Origin Art, entry level achieved!

For any other Anomalous Human, this would have taken at least ten to fifteen days of hard work!

But this wasn't the most crucial part.

The most crucial part was that the moment he completed the introductory level of the cultivation technique, a miraculous cycle that made Qin Feng's scalp tingle formed within him!

The Gluttony Stomach in his abdomen was like a tireless procurement officer, madly plundering free raw materials – Spiritual Energy – from the outside world.

And the Qi Gathering Returning to Origin Art, after reaching the introductory level, was like an activated, highly efficient assembly line. It began to operate spontaneously, automatically processing, purifying, and transporting these raw materials, ultimately turning them into tangible reserves in his dantian!

One was responsible for opening up sources, the other for controlling outflow!

One managed the external, the other the internal.

The Gluttony Stomach and the Qi Gathering Returning to Origin Art formed a seamless, perfect partnership.

"Ridiculous..."

Even Qin Feng couldn't help but curse inwardly at this moment.

If the Gluttony Stomach was like 24-hour idle gameplay, then pairing it with the Qi Gathering Returning to Origin Art was like 24-hour idle gameplay with an accelerator and an auto-battle script!

He could even feel that as the cultivation technique operated automatically, his physical fatigue and mental exhaustion were being rapidly repaired by this inexhaustible inner energy.

Qin Feng stood up and walked to the massive floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the city lights below.

Just a few days ago, he was a broke student worrying about a few hundred yuan in rent, forced to deliver takeout in haunted houses.

And now, he was an extraordinary individual with a system cheat, possessing a D-Class Legendary Armament, his strength growing automatically every second.

This earth-shattering change brought no confusion to his heart, only a sharpening ambition and calmness.

Qin Feng picked up his phone and opened the "Yellow Springs" app again. This time, his gaze locked directly onto the [Task Hall].

He wanted to take orders.

He wanted to deliver more "supernatural takeout"!
