I've Become a Land Immortal!

An eagle's eyesight was exceptional, its senses especially keen, and it was equally sensitive to the colors around it. There were some little-known facts claiming that eagles could see for dozens of li, but that was actually because they flew so high.

Still, this knowledge was widely circulated, which also showed from another angle that an eagle's eyesight truly was excellent.

Thus, Chen Wang quickly noticed a man with a longsword hanging at his waist.

The man was roughly 1.7 meters tall, with red lips and white teeth, a refined air between his brows. A longsword hung at his waist, and his clothes were exceedingly clean, without any unnecessary decorations. Standing there, he gave off little sense of presence, yet he himself was remarkably handsome—absolutely crushing countless pretty-boy idols from Chen Wang's previous life who made their living off their faces. Still, there was something strangely incongruous about him.

Chen Wang remained silent, suspecting that the man carried some special magical artifact or spell. He was far away from him at the moment, and the young man's gaze was clearly not directed toward Chen Wang. He hurried past with a calm expression, yet his feet moved swiftly. Chen Wang sharply noticed that although the man appeared utterly ordinary on the surface, he walked faster than an ordinary person jogging, yet without seeming unnatural. His movements matched his limbs perfectly. Unless he had specially cultivated a Physical Art, he had to be receiving the support of a spell.

"Concealing his aura, lowering his presence, and that strange movement technique."

Chen Wang raised his brows.

The young man abruptly stopped and turned to look over. Noticing his gaze, Chen Wang quickly pushed open the door and went inside, no longer lingering outside it.

That young man was rather delicate-looking.

Chen Wang thought.

The more trouble, the worse. Even if Red Cloud Sect Market had gained many unfamiliar faces intending to target the Red Cloud Sect, they would not deliberately target a little rookie at Qi Refining Stage 3 like him—unless he actively went looking for death.

Thus, Chen Wang returned to his room and cultivated in peace.

He set himself a small goal: break through Qi Refining Stage 3 and reach Qi Refining Stage 4.

Qi Refining Stage 3 and Qi Refining Stage 4 did not sound all that different, but the spiritual energy within one's body would become several times more abundant. Moreover, Qi Refining Stage 4 could be considered an expert of the mid Qi Refining stage, unlocking a new achievement in life.

Though he would be at the bottom of the mid Qi Refining stage, he was still in the mid Qi Refining stage. He could no longer be called a rookie.

He could only be called an ordinary cultivator.

The tall young man frowned, his long, steady fingers lightly pressing against the sword hilt. "Strange. Why did I just feel as though someone was watching me?"

He discreetly observed his surroundings for a while, but found nothing unusual.

"Perhaps ever since entering that great tomb, I've become jumpy and overly tense."

The handsome, tall young man shook his head.

"I should find a secluded place to hide first. It'll be troublesome if those people catch me."

The young man hurried away, releasing the sword hilt and discreetly touching his chest. Once he found that the bundle was still there, he let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Wang sat cross-legged in meditation, cultivating the Red Cloud Qi Refining Art. For someone with his aptitude, his speed of absorbing spiritual energy was simply slower than a turtle's crawl. Cultivators could examine their own bodies inwardly, and all his spiritual energy was stored in the Qi Sea in his lower abdomen. The Qi Sea was the most mysterious part of a cultivator, used to store spiritual energy and transform it into magical power. Yet at present, Chen Wang's absorption speed was so slow it drove one to despair. Who knew when he would break through to Qi Refining Stage 4? But this time was slightly different.

Chen Wang did not notice that when he circulated the Red Cloud Qi Refining Art this time, after its initial sluggishness, his spiritual energy absorption seemed to begin accelerating. However, because the baseline was too low, the increase was not especially obvious. It was like going from 20 KB to 50 KB—still rather slow, but already enough to astonish Chen Wang.

Cultivators tempered both Divine Sense and magical power. There was a reason their first realm was called the Qi Refining stage.

At this realm, they could only absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, cleanse their essence and marrow, improve their fleshly bodies, and turn their bodies into better vessels for magical power.

At the same time, part of the spiritual energy would nourish the soul, allowing it to gradually transform. Of course, in the Cultivation World, soul and spirit was a more accurate term.

The soul and spirit were also divided into the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, and every soul and spirit had its own separate cultivation method.

Unfortunately, a low-level cultivator like Chen Wang could not access such lofty knowledge. What he cultivated was a common, mass-market technique, valued for being simple, easy to understand, and easy to learn. As a result, with his aptitude, cultivating a common technique made his Qi Refining speed despairingly slow.

Yet by a fortunate accident, Chen Wang's psychic power had strengthened because he had been injected with a Mind Adept.

That meant his soul was far stronger than that of an ordinary Qi Refining Stage 3 cultivator.

Moreover, he could freely wield the power of his soul, which in turn accelerated his Qi Refining speed.

At the very least, it would play a crucial role when breaking through bottlenecks.

Chen Wang had always been someone with a calm mind when doing things. No matter how noisy his surroundings were, he could quickly settle down.

When he slowly opened his eyes, it was already noon the next day. Chen Wang checked the time and was startled. "Fuck!"

"Why did I cultivate for so long?!"

He put down the watch in his hand. It was a product of the Great Winter World—radiation-resistant, waterproof, and pressure-resistant. He always kept it on him, so that he would have some sense of time.

He could not help feeling dazed. The calendar on the watch showed that an entire day had passed. "This is the first time I've entered such a meditative state."

Chen Wang stroked his chin.

Then, to his delight, he discovered that the magical power within his body had become several times more abundant than before! "Huh?"

Chen Wang froze for a moment before wild joy surged into his eyes. He discovered that the strand of magical power in his Qi Sea, thin as a hair, had grown vastly stronger. It had now become at least the size of a small lock of hair. "Fuck!"

"I've become a Land Immortal... no, I've entered Qi Refining Stage 4!"

Chen Wang was somewhat excited, unable to hide the delight in his eyes.

Upon entering Qi Refining Stage 4, one became a true mid Qi Refining expert and could attempt to control heavier objects, such as a kitchen knife.

Previously, Chen Wang could only control a sharp little knife. Now, he could actually control a kitchen knife. Of course, controlling a kitchen knife to chop people in the Cultivation World would certainly be lethal.

Because the opponent might die laughing.

Yet Chen Wang still could not suppress the delight at the corners of his mouth. "Controlling a kitchen knife can confuse the opponent. More importantly, the weight that the Object Manipulation Technique can control has increased, which means... I can control grenades!"

Chen Wang was delighted, and his mood immediately brightened. Though he had only taken a small step, it felt as if he had won the lottery! His sluggish, painfully slow cultivation speed had left him stuck at Qi Refining Stage 3 for a long time.

He had never expected that today, he would unexpectedly cross this bottleneck in one stride!
