Light-Speed Cultivation
As the main peak of the Qingwang Sect, it is naturally the area with the most abundant spiritual energy.
The palaces built on the main peak are nestled among the vegetation and do not stand out in the way.
Everywhere you look, even the most ordinary plants are exceptionally lush and green, appearing at first glance as if they were carved from jade.
In the bamboo grove, Lu Bai sat cross-legged on a futon, holding the Qingwang Sect in his hand.
Through the gaps in the bamboo forest, you can see the beautiful, magnificent, and tranquil mountain peaks in the distance.
However, Lu Bai's attention was not currently focused on these magnificent sights.
Yuxu Zi stood before him, hands behind his back, speaking slowly and calmly, appearing serene and composed.
"... The path of cultivation involves harnessing the power of heaven and earth for one's own use. You are just beginning; you should follow nature..."
He spoke slowly, not in a hurry for Lu Bai to begin his cultivation.
Because he knew that what truly needed for a genius with such exceptional talent was self-cultivation.
However, before he could say much, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy emanating from Lu Bai.
Lu Bai sensed the newfound special energy within his body, then looked up and asked, "Does this mean I've Qi Refining Layer One?"
Yuxu Zi was so shocked that he almost ripped off his own beard.
It should be noted that he hadn't even told Lu Bai how to sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, let alone how to use the techniques to absorb the spiritual energy into himself.
For outsiders, cultivation is a difficult process. Without guidance, even with the best techniques, one is at a loss as to where to begin. This is arguably the best mechanism to prevent self-learning.
Yuxu Zi: "..." Just by being in a place rich in spiritual energy, you naturally embarked on the path of cultivation? What terrifying talent! You rascal.
Seeing Lu Bai's rapid cultivation, even though he knew Lü Bai was already his disciple, Yuxu Zi couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
He was too ashamed to mention that he, as the most outstanding disciple of his generation, had wasted three days in sensing spiritual energy.
"Fine."
He took a deep breath, raised his hand and pointed a finger. "The immortal path is ethereal is ethereal and unpredictable. Therefore, when you first embark on the path of immortality, it is most important to lay a solid foundation. Only in this way can you go further and further."
A ray of blue light shot out from his fingertips, landing on Lu Bai's brow, instantly enveloping Lu Bai's entire body, gradually purifying the indescribable turbidity of the mortal world.
"At the beginning of cultivation, one should gather that Innate Qi within the body. That is what I am doing now..."
Lu Bai didn't quite hear what Yuxu Zi said.
A sound like a resounding bell vibrated in his mind, and he could vaguely make out the scriptures within it.
During this period, the spiritual energy emanating from his body expanded rapidly over time.
He instantly broke through the Qi Refining Layer Two.
Then comes the Qi Refining Layer Three, the Qi Refining Layer Four...
... Qi Refining Layer Ten.
After a brief period of accumulation, quantitative change led to qualitative change.
A wisp of pure spiritual energy was born within Lu Bai's body, allowing him to directly cross the threshold of the Foundation Establishment stage.
The spiritual energy that originally emanated from Lu Bai was, under some mysterious influence, condensed into various Dao Patterns, surrounding Lu Bai and swimming around him like small fish.
The growth of cultivation had not stopped. The newly generated spiritual energy circulated within the body on its own. After the spiritual energy circulated for one cycle, the cultivation level once again reached a new stage.
Yuxu Zi's expression was as if he had been petrified. He felt Lu Bai's cultivation level increase rapidly, as if his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
He knew that someone with Lu Bai's talent might cultivate very quickly, but this was ridiculously fast!
The Sect Master suddenly began to question the meaning of life.
He even began to wonder what use his master was.
Who is he? Where is he? Is this still the Cultivation World?
As the sun rises, golden sunlight spills across the earth.
On the muddy road leading to the Qingwang Sect, horse-drawn carts laden with goods came and went.
It is worth mentioning that, due to limitations in spiritual roots and aptitude, 99% of people in this world do not even have the qualification to embark on the path of cultivation.
These ordinary people who are unable to cultivate themselves can only honestly earn money and make a living.
"Didn't Steward Liu say he would pay for road repairs? Why is the road still in such bad shape?" the farmer driving the carriage complained, feeling a little sorry for the toll he had paid.
Just then, a young man dressed in strange clothes caught the farmer's attention.
Even though it wasn't raining, the other person was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat.
What troubled the farmer most were the bloodstains on the other man's clothes.
It looks like it was accidentally splashed on someone while committing murder.
Perhaps sensing the farmer's gaze, the young man turned around, stopped, and called out to the farmer.
"Is this the Qingwang Sect?"
The farmer, somewhat afraid that the other party might suddenly attack him, nodded cautiously.
Sang Wen didn't say anything more. Having gotten the answer he wanted, he waved his hand, signaling the farmer that he could leave.
As a death fighter, upon learning of the existence of a cultivation system in this world, my first thought was naturally how to master the extraordinary power of this world.
Unfortunately, the location where he arrived was far away from both the major and minor sects.
There are no airplanes or high-speed trains in this world; you can only travel on foot, or at most, by horseback.
Under these circumstances, it took him a whole week to finally reach Qingwang Sect.
He gazed at the mountaintop shrouded in mist and silently made plans in his mind.
"Based on what I've learned recently, this Qingwang Sect, while it can't compare to those renowned sects, has a long history and isn't too bad. Excluding menial disciples, the sect has over a thousand cultivators, making it a suitable stepping stone for my early stages."
"Young man, are you going to the Qingwang Sect to seek Seek Immortality and Enlightenment?" the farmer asked hesitantly.
Seeing that the farmer had not yet left, Sang Wen replied calmly, "Not bad."
Seeing that the other party, though arrogant, didn't seem like a bad person, the farmer thought for a moment and kindly reminded him, "The Qingwang Sect's recruitment period has already passed. Even if you go up now, I'm afraid you won't get any results."
Sang Wen proudly raised his chin. "It doesn't matter. With my talent, no sect will turn me away."
"Hmph! What a boastful tone."
Shi Qingyu, dressed in the standard white robe of an ordinary disciple of the Qingwang Sect, stared at Sang Wen with an unfriendly expression.
She happened to be leaving the sect to go down the mountain to buy things.
Despite having the Earth-grade aptitude, a week had passed and she could only barely sense spiritual energy, failing to successfully absorb it into her body and become Qi Refining Layer One cultivator.
That's why she realized just how difficult the path of cultivating immortality truly is.
So when she heard Sang Wen's words, she couldn't help but sneer, "You're really ignorant of your own limitations. Even that guy with unbelievably strong talent isn't as arrogant as you."
