Can Cultivation Methods Also Be Cultivated AFK? Breakthrough, Body Refining Early Stage!

After obtaining the Primordial Chaos Stance Technique from the Technique Hall, Chen Changqing headed straight for the Mountain Gate.

At this moment, Ran Hua was guarding the gate, looking bored.

Seeing Chen Changqing approach, Ran Hua cast a casual glance at him.

Immediately after, his brows suddenly arched, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

"Senior Brother Chen, you've broken through?"

Ran Hua looked Chen Changqing up and down, his tone carrying a hint of astonishment.

Chen Changqing smiled slightly and nodded.

"Yes, I was lucky enough to make a breakthrough."

Ran Hua stared at Chen Changqing for a few more moments, then grinned and patted him on the shoulder.

"Senior Brother Chen, congratulations!"

"Heaven rewards the diligent; you've finally raised your cultivation to the Late Qi Nurturing Stage."

"I'll leave this gate-keeping duty to you, Senior Brother Chen."

Chen Changqing didn't pay much mind to what Ran Hua said and simply cupped his hands in a salute.

It was worth noting that Ran Hua had joined the sect after him, yet was already at the Late Body Tempering Stage.

As for Chen Changqing, he had been in the sect for over a year and had only just broken through to the Late Qi Nurturing Stage.

Such a rate of improvement naturally wouldn't make Ran Hua pay him much heed.

After the handover was complete, Ran Hua stretched his back and left on his own.

Once Ran Hua had departed, Chen Changqing took out the copied Primordial Chaos Stance Technique to examine it.

"This Primordial Chaos Stance Technique belongs to the category of static exercises that harmonize form and intent."

"It emphasizes the cultivation principles of 'relaxation, stillness, naturalness, and an alert, upright spirit.'"

"By using the standing stance to guide the circulation of Qi and blood, it achieves the effect of consolidating one's foundation and nourishing the origin."

"The first requirement for practice is the basic posture."

"Place both feet parallel at shoulder width, with toes gripping the ground as if rooting into it, and heels slightly suspended as if stepping on ants to activate the Three Yang Meridians of the Foot."

"Keep both knees slightly bent, not extending past the toes, with the buttocks as if sitting on a high stool, and the waist and back straight like a stacked pagoda."

"Hold both hands in front of the chest in an oval shape, with palms concave as if holding a ball, and the joints of the ten fingers pushing outward while clamping inward."

Chen Changqing didn't just stand there watching; he prepared to begin practicing according to the techniques described in the manual.

He slowly stood up and settled into a standing stance.

Just as he was about to check the breathing and respiration techniques in the following sections, a prompt from the system suddenly echoed in his mind:

[Ding!]

[Detected technique Primordial Chaos Stance Technique. Would you like to AFK cultivate it?]

"Hmm?"

Chen Changqing's heart trembled when he heard this.

This? Did I hear that right?

Techniques can be AFK cultivated too?

Chen Changqing was utterly shocked, his mind buzzing.

He had originally assumed that this AFK Cultivation System could only help him cultivate spiritual energy. Who would have thought that techniques could also be cultivated while AFK?

Stunned, he didn't overthink it and quickly responded:

"System, AFK cultivate Primordial Chaos Stance Technique."

[Ding!]

[AFK cultivation of technique Primordial Chaos Stance Technique has begun.]

[AFK cultivation time: 1 second (flickering, continuously increasing).]

Following Chen Changqing's confirmation, the little golden figure on the system panel before his eyes immediately began to move.

It shifted from its initial cross-legged sitting position and quickly changed its posture, assuming the standing stance as indicated by the Primordial Chaos Stance Technique.

The little golden figure's stance was steady, its feet appearing as if they had taken root in the earth, its arms held in a circle as if embracing the sun and moon. Its vital energy and blood circulated throughout its body, faintly exuding a sense of primordial unity.

Beyond that, Chen Changqing also noticed something else.

The little golden figure seemed to be breathing.

It was actually performing the circulation and respiration exactly as instructed in the technique.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing was struck with disbelief.

"Who would have thought!"

"This AFK Cultivation System can even AFK-cultivate techniques."

"Does that mean... it can do the same for Divine Abilities?"

Thinking of this, Chen Changqing was overcome with excitement, his eyes filled with longing.

"Better not get ahead of myself."

"Steady and solid, step by step."

Chen Changqing took a deep breath, calming his agitated mind.

He appeared to be standing guard at the Mountain Gate, but in reality, his consciousness was immersed in the system space, observing the movements of the little golden figure.

Although the system's AFK mode could assist with cultivation, Chen Changqing felt that since he was idle anyway, observing the process might allow him to gain a deeper understanding of the technique.

"So that's how it is..."

After observing for a while, Chen Changqing nodded in realization, grasping the nuances of executing the Primordial Chaos Stance Technique.

As the little golden figure continued to cultivate, Chen Changqing's own understanding of the technique deepened as well.

At the Mountain Gate, Outer Disciples came and went from time to time. Some were in a hurry, while others chatted and laughed in small groups, but almost no one spared Chen Changqing a second glance.

"I really am a nobody!"

Chen Changqing mocked himself inwardly, yet he was happy for the peace and quiet.

He knew well that as someone guarding the Mountain Gate, no one cared about him at all.

However, he didn't mind.

After all, being ignored made it even more convenient for him to AFK-cultivate.

Time passed, and soon it was the fourth quarter of You Shi.

Seeing that it was time to close the gates, Chen Changqing skillfully shut the Mountain Gate and turned to leave.

When he returned to his living quarters, Ran Hua was nowhere to be seen.

Chen Changqing didn't pay it any mind. He went into his room, closed the doors and windows, and couldn't wait to extract the results of his AFK cultivation.

"System, extract AFK results!"

Soon, a prompt from the system echoed in his mind:

[Ding!]

[AFK time: 5 hours.]

[Practiced Primordial Chaos Stance Technique × 10 times.]

[Extract AFK results?]

"Extract!"

Chen Changqing didn't overthink it and chose to extract immediately.

In an instant, a golden light flew out from the little golden figure and merged into Chen Changqing's body.

"Boom!"

Following that, a surging force of blood and energy exploded within Chen Changqing's body. His limbs and bones felt as if they were being tempered by raging fire, and his muscles and tendons emitted faint, trembling sounds.

The essential insights regarding the cultivation of the Primordial Chaos Stance Technique flooded rapidly into his mind.

It was as if Chen Changqing had practiced this technique ten times himself.

The next moment, Chen Changqing suddenly opened his eyes and clenched his fist violently. He felt the strength in his arms surge, breaking the three-hundred-jin mark!

"Hoo!"

Chen Changqing threw a punch into the air.

A fierce gust of wind whistled.

The air itself crackled with a series of popping sounds.

"Such powerful punching force!"

"And... I've broken through again!"

"Early Body Tempering Stage!"

Chen Changqing murmured to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He couldn't help but let out a low shout: "Awesome!"

From then on, Chen Changqing began his day-to-day routine of AFK cultivation.

Daily guard duty, AFK, extracting results—the cycle repeated.

Before he knew it, time slipped away.

A month passed. Chen Qingfeng opened his system panel.

Then, a system prompt rang out in his mind:

[Ding!]

[Idle time: 10 days]

[Practiced Primordial Chaos Stance Technique × 300 times.]

[Extract idle results?]

"Three hundred times?"

Chen Changqing felt a jolt in his heart, followed by wild joy.

He discovered that as he continued to practice the Primordial Chaos Stance Technique through the idle system, his proficiency was increasing, and the time the system took to simulate the technique once was continuously shortening.

"At this rate, breaking through to the Mid Body Tempering Stage is just around the corner!"

He took a deep breath, his eyes burning with intense fighting spirit.
