Passport

After Shi Yi broke through to the Flesh and Blood Realm as a Martial Student, he continued to focus on practicing the techniques for the Blood Essence Realm at the Anyang Martial Arts School, supplementing them with the full set of Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist.

This was how Shi Yi had been training before, and it was common for other Blood Essence Realm cultivators to do the same to prepare for future cultivation, so it appeared normal.

Upon returning to his rented accommodation, Shi Yi focused on his full cultivation set.

He also adjusted the time spent on both.

After breaking through to the Blood Essence Realm, he could arrange his cultivation matters himself.

As for martial arts school missions, after Shi Yi completed the previous Buddhist Treasure retrieval mission, Lu Feng had not assigned him any new ones, telling him to focus on cultivation.

Therefore, Shi Yi had nothing else to do during this period, spending most of his time cultivating.

Furthermore, Lou Xuanming had gone out to study, and his academic matters were also self-arranged.

Zhao Cheng had asked him if he needed to hire a new tutor for foundational studies, but Shi Yi politely declined.

He had already learned all the characters in the Great Zhou Ten Thousand Character Classic and no longer needed a foundational tutor.

As for further learning, it would require more time and energy, which Shi Yi did not intend to invest for the time being.

"My cultivation speed in the Flesh and Blood Realm has slowed down considerably."

"It takes me a month to complete Flesh and Blood Tempering and the Wood Skin Inscription."

"At this rate, it will take at least three months to complete the Copper Skin Inscription."

"If the Stone Skin Inscription, Copper Skin Inscription, and Flesh and Blood Tempering become more difficult later, it might take even longer."

After Shi Yi began practicing the full set of Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist, he had a clear understanding of his cultivation progress.

His current cultivation speed was actually quite fast, but it was not the limit of Shi Yi's cultivation progress.

"I haven't used any auxiliary cultivation resources for the Flesh and Blood Realm, so my cultivation speed has decreased significantly. Although Hundred-Year Stone Milk can also have some auxiliary cultivation effects, they are not very significant."

"This is also related to the fact that I haven't revealed my Flesh and Blood Realm cultivation yet. It's a bit troublesome to obtain auxiliary cultivation resources at this level."

Shi Yi learned from Zhao Cheng that at the Flesh and Blood Realm stage, there were internal and external medications to aid cultivation.

Internal consumption included body-tempering auxiliary drugs like Essence-Gathering Body Tempering Fluid, which strengthened Blood Essence and aided in tempering flesh and blood, proving very helpful for inscriptions.

External application involved topical pastes like Three-Yang Skin Tempering Paste, applied to the flesh and blood to temper them.

Combining both internal and external methods would greatly increase the effectiveness of cultivation.

Zhao Cheng also mentioned elixirs like the Body-Nourishing Grass Returning Pill, but elixirs were more precious, and Zhao Cheng had never used them.

The Body-Nourishing Grass Returning Pill was a more valuable cultivation resource, which could only be refined by masters of Daoist Magic. Ordinary people had no access to it and could not afford it.

"Zhao Cheng's Blood Essence growth rate is very fast. He should break through to the Stone Skin Realm soon!"

"At that time, I can also reveal my breakthrough to the Wood Skin Realm."

These days, Shi Yi could clearly see the growth of Blood Essence in Zhao Cheng.

It was evident that consuming Silver Wolf Spirit flesh and blood had greatly benefited Zhao Cheng, leading to such rapid Blood Essence growth.

This also meant that Zhao Cheng was close to breaking through!

Earth.

"Xiao Yi, your passport is ready. It will be mailed to your home in a couple of days."

"Come and pick it up then, and stay for dinner!"

"Your school is also about to start. Mom wants to chat with you about applying for university."

When Shi Yi returned to Earth, he saw messages sent via the chat software on his phone.

His mother sent him messages every two to three days.

He had also asked his mother to help process his passport application.

For convenience, he chose to have it mailed, and the final mailing address was written by Qin Wanqing as the Chaoyuan Villa Area.

Shi Yi saw this and said nothing.

Regarding university applications, their homeroom teacher had already mentioned it in the group chat.

Qin Wanqing had also asked about it, but Shi Yi said he was still considering.

At that time, Shi Yi was still contemplating whether to study at a university in China or study abroad.

Now, Shi Yi had made up his mind and planned to study abroad.

Some matters would be more convenient to handle abroad.

"Yes, Mom, I'll be home Saturday at noon."

Shi Yi sent the message back and then closed the chat software.

He needed Qin Wanqing and the others to help with his plan to study abroad, as the process would be more complicated.

Especially the recommendation letter, which was even more crucial.

Excellent grades might not guarantee special admission, but with a recommendation letter, studying abroad would become much simpler.

"Time flies, and it's almost time for school!"

The summer vacation had over a month, and more than half of it had already passed.

This also meant that nearly two months had gone by since Shi Yi's first trip to the Central Great World.

His body had undergone earth-shattering changes. He had transformed from someone medically diagnosed with a cataract into a Flesh and Blood Realm Martial Student.

With a single hand, he could draw a bow pulling seven hundred jin. In ancient battlefields, he would have been considered an unparalleled fierce general.

And this was not even his limit. After some more time spent on Flesh and Blood Tempering and completing the Wood Skin Inscription, his single-arm strength could increase to over eight hundred jin, making his power even more terrifying.

"After school starts, I still need to go to school to register. After that, I can continue to study at home."

Shi Yi's situation was special, allowing him to not attend school regularly. However, he still needed to report in person at the start of the semester to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees.

These matters could be completed in a single day, after which he could return home.

The first semester of his third year of high school was fine. For the second semester, he anticipated participating in a few more exams.

Of course, if he secured an overseas study spot or a recommendation spot early, he wouldn't have to take those exams.

Shi Yi had already made up his mind, so the recommendation matters could be disregarded.

What he needed to do next on Earth was to secure an overseas study spot in advance.

His family could help him with this.

"Hoo!"

"I'll read for a while first!"

Shi Yi took a deep breath, clearing the miscellaneous thoughts from his mind. He then stopped thinking about these matters and focused his energy on reading.

The books he was reading were all copied using the electronic transcription method from Lou Xuanming.

He had finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics and was now delving into other books.

He had gained some insights from his reading, but he hadn't yet discovered any connection to the Martial Path. As for its connection to Daoist Magic cultivation, it was even less clear.

After all, he hadn't yet begun practicing Daoist Magic.

However, Shi Yi wasn't anxious. Just as Lou Xuanming had advised him, he should take it slow and read more, and he would eventually understand.

Shi Yi's reading speed wasn't fast. After reading each complete sentence, he would ponder and comprehend it. Otherwise, with his Eidetic Memory, he could finish them very quickly.

"Goodness that seeks to be seen is not true goodness; evil that fears being known is great evil. Diligence in managing the household..."

This was a family management maxim, and it was also one of the books Lou Xuanming had told him to read in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics.

Even if one wasn't married, they still needed to read it. The principles within weren't only applicable after marriage. The family management maxims also included methods for discerning people, which was very important.
