This Kind of Thing Will Be Common in the Future

Lu Qianqian merely flipped through the Yi Jin Jing before concluding that while the cultivation method appeared simple and easy to understand, it was actually profound and unfathomable—it was absolutely a genuine God-grade cultivation method!

The sect leader created this?

She absolutely did not believe that a Pulse Opening martial artist could create a God-grade cultivation method; after all, it was far too shocking!

Lu Qianqian did not get to the bottom of it, because if the sect leader did not tell the truth, there must be some unspeakable reason, so she hurried back to her residence and began to study it carefully.

Li Qingyang also returned to his room to contemplate the cultivation method.

Both of them began to study the Yi Jin Jing at roughly the same time, alternating between silence and wild joy, the expressions on their faces changing every second.

"This Yi Jin Jing is far stronger than the Clear Heart Art I was practicing; it can completely replace it!"

"Father, choosing to reject the Cangshan Sect and join the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect was such a wise decision!"

Li Qingyang was certain that the fifth-rate Cangshan Sect would never possess such a miraculous cultivation method.

"Hoo!"

He took a deep breath to calm his state of mind and began to practice according to the chants.

The advantage of the Yi Jin Jing manual redeemed from the system was that it appeared mysterious but was actually easy to understand. Given Li Qingyang's aptitude, he entered a state of cultivation after circulating his energy through the major and minor meridians a few times.

Lu Qianqian was even faster; she had already circulated the Yi Jin Jing through her major and minor meridians several times. The more she practiced, the more delighted she became: "This cultivation method focuses on body tempering and does not conflict with my Great Profound Ice Heart Art. They can be practiced together!"

"How could the sect leader have a God-grade cultivation method, and a rare body-tempering one at that? Could it be... that the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect is truly a fallen Ancient Sect?"

God-grade cultivation methods were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns on the Starfall Continent, existing only within super first-rate sects. She did not believe Jun Changxiao could have just picked it up or bought it; the only possibility was that it had been passed down from ancient times.

"It seems I underestimated the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect and underestimated the sect leader."

At this point, Lu Qianqian clenched her delicate fists, her beautiful eyes flashing with killing intent as she gritted her teeth and said, "With a God-grade cultivation method, perhaps it can help me take my revenge!"

The first disciple and the second disciple were both concentrating on practicing the Yi Jin Jing.

Sect Leader Jun, however, was pacing back and forth in his bedroom, on the verge of a breakdown: "I've been contemplating it for half an hour and haven't felt a single thing. Is this a counterfeit product?"

"The host's Spiritual Root Aptitude is too poor. Even if the Yi Jin Jing is easy to understand, it is still harder for you to practice than for others."

"Are you saying that if I didn't have the system, I wouldn't be worth a damn?"

The system was silent for a long time before saying, "The host's ability to understand is very unique, but... it can indeed be considered that way."

"Ahhh!"

Jun Changxiao clutched his head and roared, "Lu Qianqian attacks me, the system attacks me—is there any way for a man to live!"

No! Absolutely not!

I am going to wear this Yi Jin Jing down.

If one hour isn't enough, then one day; if one day isn't enough, then one year; if one year isn't enough, then a lifetime!

I don't believe that without external help, I can't cultivate it myself!

Jun Changxiao got a temper and sat cross-legged on the bed to begin his contemplation. This contemplation lasted all night, and it wasn't until dawn that he lay on the bed, tired but happy, saying, "I can finally circulate the major and minor meridians..."

Being able to circulate them did not mean the cultivation was successful; one had to achieve a continuous cycle.

Next, he handed the sect's affairs over to Li Qingyang and devoted himself entirely to cultivation.

Hard work pays off.

Two days later, Jun Changxiao finally mastered the Yi Jin Jing. As long as he calmed his mind, he could easily circulate the major and minor meridians, achieving an endless cycle.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the Hidden Task [Heaven Rewards Diligence], rewarding 10 Sect Contribution Points!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the Hidden Task [Diligence Can Make Up for Lack of Talent], rewarding 10 Sect Contribution Points!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the Hidden Task [Self-Reliance], rewarding 10 Sect Contribution Points!"

"Ding!"

"Sect Contribution Points: 50/100."

The contribution points had increased by another 30, but Jun Changxiao shook his head and said, "It seems the system doesn't want me to rely on it too much, which is why it left these hidden tasks."

"It's just... first there was Eliminate Evils for the People, now there's Heaven Rewards Diligence and Self-Reliance. Could it be that the hidden tasks are related to four-character idioms?"

The effect of the Yi Jin Jing lay in body tempering, but it was also a cultivation method.

After Jun Changxiao practiced for another day, he realized that his speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was much faster than with the Calm Heart Art.

"Sure enough, God-grade cultivation methods are better."

"At this rate, even with Mortal-grade aptitude, I can gather enough spiritual energy to open my pulses in just a few days!"

Having tasted the sweetness, Jun Changxiao focused even more on his cultivation.

Since his Mortal-grade aptitude could achieve success through hard work, his disciples, who also possessed Mortal-grade aptitude, naturally succeeded in their cultivation as well.

Disciples with low-grade aptitude had it a bit tragic, because being one grade lower was like having a mountain between them and success, forcing them to cultivate bitterly for seven or eight days just to barely grasp the basics.

Ten days later.

All disciples of the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect had achieved a preliminary understanding of the Yi Jin Jing.

During this period, Li Qingyang hadn't really managed the sect on his behalf, because his junior brothers were so obsessed with their cultivation that they sometimes wouldn't even eat for an entire day.

"Junior brother, how has your comprehension been these past two days?"

"Senior brother, it's going alright. I've already condensed enough Spiritual Energy to attempt a Pulse Opening."

"Hahaha, I've condensed enough as well!"

"Our unique cultivation method is truly powerful. In the past, it would have taken me at least two or three months to condense enough Spiritual Energy for a Pulse Opening, but now it only takes three to five days!"

When the sect disciples weren't cultivating, they would gather together to discuss the Yi Jin Jing.

If they knew that the cultivation method also had the effect of increasing the success rate of Pulse Opening, they would surely be excited enough to fly.

The next day.

Disciples began to attempt Pulse Opening one after another.

"This... this was a success?"

A disciple at the fourth stage of Pulse Opening sat cross-legged on his bed, feeling the surging spiritual power clearing his meridians, his expression gradually freezing in place.

His aptitude was only Mortal-grade, and he had been stuck at the third stage of Pulse Opening for a year, having experienced many failed attempts during that time. This time, as soon as he started, he heard a 'pop' sound, and the blocked meridian was cleared.

The disciple secretly swore that he hadn't even exerted any real force yet, and the meridian, which had felt like a thick wall, had collapsed with a roar!

"Hahaha!"

"I've opened my third pulse! I've opened my third pulse!"

He laughed and shouted in wild joy, tears welling up in his eyes.

This situation played out one after another in the rooms of the Inner Court. Regardless of the disciples' aptitude, as long as they relied on the Yi Jin Jing to condense Spiritual Energy for Pulse Opening, they would succeed in breaking through one by one.

The next day.

Li Qingyang stood in the main hall and reported:

"Advancing from the second stage to the third stage of Pulse Opening: nine successes, eight failures."

"Advancing from the third stage to the fourth stage of Pulse Opening: five successes, six failures."

"Advancing from the fourth stage to the fifth stage of Pulse Opening: one success, one failure."

After finishing his report, he took a deep breath, his heart still too shocked to calm down in such a short time.

Having lived in a clan, Li Qingyang knew very well that Pulse Opening was extremely difficult. For example, among his own young clansmen, if three or five of them succeeded in Pulse Opening in a year, it would be a cause for celebration for the entire family.

And now?

Just yesterday alone, thirty junior brothers had attempted Pulse Opening!

This number was terrifying. Li Qingyang couldn't imagine it, nor did he dare to think about it. Even more terrifying was that fifteen of those thirty disciples had succeeded!

Jun Changxiao stroked his chin and said, "Not bad."

"Not... bad?"

The corners of Li Qingyang's mouth twitched violently. He said, "Sect Leader, for over a dozen junior brothers to succeed in Pulse Opening on the same day is absolutely shocking!"

"Qingyang."

Jun Changxiao walked down and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Things like this will be very common in the future. As the second disciple, you must learn to adapt."

Watching the Sect Leader's departing figure, Li Qingyang muttered blankly, "Things like this... will be very common in the future?"
