Next, Chen Changqing curiously looked over the introduction to the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art.
After reading it, he could not help but draw in a sharp breath.
"This art was obtained by Shushan after it exterminated the cave dwelling of the 'Black Fiend Old Demon.'"
"While in the Qi Refining Realm, one must repeatedly temper the vital essence within the body nine times. Every revolution makes the vital essence more condensed."
"Each revolution requires the gathering of three thousand strands of vital essence."
"The difficulty of cultivation is exceedingly high. Those without exceptional talent must not attempt it...?"
After reading the introduction to the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art, Chen Changqing's eyes gleamed brightly.
He had never expected there to be such a Qi Refining technique.
"Nine Revolutions Qi Tempering?"
"Wasn't this a technique tailor-made for me?"
"As for the difficulty of cultivation, for someone with the AFK Cultivation System, it simply isn't a problem!"
Chen Changqing pondered silently.
It was not hard to tell from the dust accumulated on the Jade Slip of the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art.
That this technique had surely gone unnoticed for a long time.
Its difficulty was simply too high.
It was powerful, certainly, but its cultivation difficulty was not something ordinary disciples could bear.
"My physical body has already reached the Body Refining Extreme Realm. My foundation is incomparably solid—I am fully qualified to cultivate this technique!"
"This is the one!"
Very soon, determination flashed through Chen Changqing's eyes as he chose the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art as his Qi Refining technique.
"Each revolution of this Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art requires the gathering of three thousand strands of vital essence."
"Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators only need one thousand strands of vital essence to break through one minor realm."
"Yet the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art requires a full three times that amount!"
"If calculated this way, wouldn't cultivating the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art to the ninth level of Qi Refining require condensing two hundred and seventy thousand strands of vital essence within one's body?"
"Good heavens..."
Just thinking about it left Chen Changqing somewhat astonished.
"How was this cultivation? It was practically a gold-devouring beast!"
Chen Changqing knew very well.
That the resources required to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art were equally terrifying.
"No wonder this technique has been gathering dust in the Technique Hall for so many years. Where would ordinary Outer Disciples get so many resources to cultivate it?"
"Even if they did, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the patience to endure it."
"However..."
At this thought, Chen Changqing could not help but smile.
"This technique poses no difficulty for me."
"One could even say it was tailor-made for me!"
He did not need to cultivate bitterly, nor did he need to expend resources!
The AFK Cultivation System cured all "impossibilities"!
After choosing his Qi Refining technique and combat secret art, Chen Changqing headed to the registration desk.
The techniques and manuals within the Technique Hall could only be copied and taken away; the originals had to remain in the Technique Hall.
"The Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art?"
Upon learning that Chen Changqing had chosen the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art as his Qi Refining technique, Situ Yun could not help but be surprised.
"Kid, are you sure you want this one?"
"This technique has been sitting in the Technique Hall for many years, and very few have cultivated it."
"There were people who chose to cultivate it before, but all of them eventually gave up."
Situ Yun glanced at Chen Changqing and asked.
Naturally, he knew how difficult the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art was to cultivate.
Otherwise, this technique would not have been left gathering dust in the Technique Hall for so long.
In fact, when he was young, he too had tried cultivating this technique.
Yet in the end, he had exhausted all his savings.
Now, seeing Chen Changqing choose the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art as his main Qi Refining technique, Situ Yun instinctively reminded him.
"Yes, Elder. This disciple is certain."
Chen Changqing's expression was resolute.
Seeing the stubborn look on Chen Changqing's face, Situ Yun sighed helplessly.
"Fine. Since you insist, I won't stop you."
"But if you lack resources in the future, don't blame me for not warning you."
Chen Changqing smiled faintly and cupped his hands.
"Thank you for your concern, Elder."
Afterward, Situ Yun made copies of the three techniques Chen Changqing had selected.
Chen Changqing did not linger and took his leave.
Watching Chen Changqing's departing figure, Situ Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered under his breath.
"Who gave this kid the courage to choose the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art?"
"He is only an Outer Sect disciple guarding the Mountain Gate."
"Where would he get so many resources to cultivate this technique?"
"Even if he has the perseverance to keep cultivating it, it would still require an extremely long process."
"Many people simply cannot endure it!"
As he spoke, Situ Yun shook his head and sighed helplessly.
"I already warned him."
"Since he made his own choice, he should pay the price for it."
After leaving the Technique Hall.
Chen Changqing headed all the way to the Mountain Gate.
At this time, Ran Hua had already returned to his post.
Seeing Chen Changqing return, he approached with a broad smile.
"Senior Brother Chen, have you chosen your techniques?"
Ran Hua asked with a smile.
Chen Changqing nodded. He did not say much about it and changed the subject.
"Junior Brother Ran, it's about time for the shift change. You should head back!"
What slightly surprised Chen Changqing was.
That this time, Ran Hua did not hurry to leave. Instead, he looked at Chen Changqing with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"Hm?"
Seeing Ran Hua's expression, Chen Changqing frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
"Junior Brother Ran, do you have something else to say?"
Ran Hua took a deep breath, no longer dragging things out, and said.
"Senior Brother Chen, do you have some secret for making rapid breakthroughs?"
"If you do, could you teach me?"
As he said this, Ran Hua looked at Chen Changqing with a pleading expression.
Chen Changqing smiled helplessly.
"Junior Brother Ran, I can't help you with that."
"There are no shortcuts on the path of cultivation. There is only perseverance and persistence!"
Hearing Chen Changqing's words, Ran Hua sighed helplessly and bid him farewell somewhat dejectedly.
After Ran Hua left, Chen Changqing planned to examine the three techniques.
Just then, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
[ Ding! ]
[New technique Sword Control Technique detected. Begin AFK Cultivation?]
[New technique Thunderclap Divine Fist detected. Begin AFK Cultivation?]
[New technique Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art detected. Begin AFK Cultivation?]
"Hm?"
When Chen Changqing heard the system notifications, wild joy surged within his heart.
Earlier, after obtaining the Primordial Chaos Stance Technique from the Technique Hall, he had intended to cultivate it himself.
Who would have thought that the system could also cultivate techniques while AFK?
Amid his excitement, he did not think further and immediately responded.
"System!"
"Start AFK Cultivation on all of them!"
In an instant, three cultivation progress bars appeared on the system panel.
[?Sword Control Technique?: 0.1% (automatically increasing).] [Thunderclap Divine Fist?: 0.1% (automatically increasing).] [Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art?: 0.1% (automatically increasing).]
"Ha ha ha!"
"Others need resources to cultivate, but I... only need time!"
Chen Changqing was immensely satisfied.
