"Breathing Makes You Stronger!" (Golden Legend):
Young man! Still finding cultivation boring?! Starting today, free your hands!
As long as you are breathing, your cultivation level will automatically increase!
The speed of improvement is equal to your normal cultivation speed.
This boost can be stacked with your normal cultivation.
A small cheat doesn't count as a cheat, a small hack doesn't count as a hack.

"Wow! The Golden Legend!!"
In the courtyard of the Chen Mansion in White Cloud County, Chen Yi resembled a card player who had just drawn a UR card in a card game.
"With a higher cultivation level, there are fewer shortcuts. Unlike before, when you could use the Myriad Souls Banner to refine your soul and get feedback, this skill allows your cultivation speed to double!"
Upon closer inspection, it's not just doubling, but at least two times!
Because it's impossible for a normal person to cultivate 24 hours a day, but everyone breathes 24 hours a day!
Now, with improved cultivation aptitude, the availability of Immortal Qi, and increased cultivation speed, the cultivation speed has also increased.
Chen Yi had a premonition that he was about to receive a new promotion!
"My turn! Change the entry!"
[You selected yes.]
[You replaced the Entry Slingshot " with " Breathing Makes You Stronger!".]
["Is cultivation boring? Others may find it boring, but I can't..."]
[Whenever you feel tired and exhausted, you will see Liu Ying, Liu Tian, Cheng Guang, and countless other Righteous Army soldiers who fell on Fortune Star.]
You don't want to betray the path they paved for you with their lives and blood!

["Moonlight Poet" (Green Rare): You always feel inspired to write poetry on moonlit nights, your poetic abilities are off the charts.]

[You chose no.]
[Perhaps it was the culmination of years of hard work, or perhaps it was the unwavering belief in reaching a higher level.]
[You achieved the breakthrough from the Sixth Turn of Qi Transformation in just three years.]
In the Real Realm, the nine minor realms of the Qi Transformation Realm are also known as the early, middle, and late stages.
[This additional designation is because the lifespan increase differs across the early, mid, and late game (and the lifespan increase also varies for each race).]
[From the sixth to the seventh stage, that is, from Martial Saint to Martial God in the Void Realm.]
[Your theoretical lifespan has now reached 1040 years!]
[This shows how fast a breakthrough in three years is, because 3 is really insignificant compared to 1040.]
[Your cultivation level has broken through to the Qi Transformation Seventh Turn, granting you +2 equipment slots and an increased probability of drawing high-quality attributes!]
[While it appears you've broken through to the Qi Transformation Seventh Turn, with the blessing of the "Eternal Half-Emperor," you've actually reached the first stage of Core Formation!]
[You already learned this from some Winged God Sect prisoners on the Fortune Star.]
[Within the body of Cultivator at the Core Formation Realm, a substance resembling the inner core of a demonic Demon Beast will appear; Cultivator in the Real Realm call this the Origin Core.]
There's a reason why it's called that.
[Cultivator at the Core Formation Realm stage advance their True Qi to Origin Qi.]
[If one reaches the Perfection of the Core Formation, one can even reside within the Origin Core Primordial Spirit. As long as the Origin Core remains intact, the Primordial Spirit will not perish. Even if the physical body is severely damaged, the Primordial Spirit will have a chance to revive.]
[However, this kind of "rebirth" is not like Wolverine's unconditional self-healing; it requires specific methods, along with certain treasures and the assistance of others.]
[The Core Formation Realm you encountered on Fortune Star who had reached the Core Formation stage, such as the White-Robed Priest Loku, hadn't yet reached the Perfection the Core Formation, so they couldn't do this.]
[Now, through introspection, you can see a semi-transparent, fiery red Origin Core within your body.]
[ Those in the Core Formation Realm still lack Divine Sense, but they can sense the auras of surrounding Cultivator and roughly judge the strength of those auras—this is why Loku, Cultivator in the Core Formation Early Stage, knew you were also Cultivator the first time he saw you.]
[Cultivator in the Real Realm call this ability "Qi Sensing," or the rudimentary form of Divine Sense.]
[You can now introspect your inner Origin Core because you've developed "Qi Sensing."]
"Does my current situation meet the requirements for ' Mortal Bone '?"
[The Qi Transformation Realm gathers True Qi; the Core Formation Realm gathers qi into an elixir; the subsequent Desperate Realm and Heaven-Reaching Realm are all related to comprehending Divine Ability.]
[In other words, normally one needs to reach the Desolate Realm to comprehend Divine Ability.]
[However, "Mortal Bone" can allow you to comprehend Divine Ability at the Core Formation Realm, and even increase your comprehension tenfold.]
The phrase "ignoring the Heaven and Earth rules" in the effect most likely refers to the ability to comprehend it even in the Void Realm, just like the Sword Master!
"Consolidate my cultivation for another year, and while I'm at it, wait for that lazy good-for-nothing outside to change my character entry."
"Lazy and gluttonous... is that me?"
Chen Yi, lounging on a bench in the courtyard like Ge You, watched the simulated text appear line by line and said with some suspicion.
"Let's try ' Mortal Bone ' then. It gives us two more equipment slots, so we don't have to think about replacing anyone. What should we add next?"
Judging from the simulation, there are quite a few Cultivator on this Second-Class Star.
Chen Yi decided to bring along his "Treasure-Snatching Extraordinary Nose," which he hadn't worn in a long time, hoping to discover some treasure.
He desperately needs treasure now, because he has nothing.

"Dog Neck Stick" (Green Rare): You can attach a stick that a creature on all fours (non-intelligent races) cannot bite through to its own neck.
In this way, if he tries to chase you, his front legs will be hit with the stick, making him unable to run fast.
Unless he holds the stick in his mouth, but then he can't bite you.

[You selected yes.]
[You are equipped with "Mortal Bone".]
[You are equipped with "Treasure-Snatching Extraordinary Nose".]
[After acquiring the "Mortal Bone," you attempt to comprehend Divine Ability.]
How do you understand it?
[You're clueless too.]
[I feel that you need someone to teach you this kind of cultivation knowledge.]
[However, you have a vague feeling that the "Mortal Bone" haven't worked.]
"Perhaps I need to reach the Core Formation stage in my true cultivation. I should continue cultivating while I'm still at a level where I don't face any bottlenecks."
"Since it's not useful for the time being, let's replace it with ' Bad News from the Martial Artist Community.' This way, the effects of the Pill we take during our regular cultivation will be enhanced, and we'll improve even faster!"
Chen Yi continued his micro-management, coordinating seamlessly with his simulated self.
[Twenty-fifth year, age forty-nine.]
You replaced "Mortal Bone" with "Bad News from the Martial Artist Community".
You continue gathering, hunting, Alchemy, and cultivation in the deep mountains and forests.
[Because of the "Enhancement!" attribute, the Pill you refine are extremely effective. Furthermore, the "Bad News from the Martial Artist Community" amplifies their effects by a factor of two, making them even more formidable.]
[As a result, cultivation speed increased dramatically.]
[Others practicing this way have to worry about the accumulation of Pill Toxin.]
[But since you consumed the Five Domains Sacred Pill at the start, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.]
