Qi Nourishing Late Stage! Primordial Posture Technique!

He had merely taken a nap.

The AFK cultivation results Chen Changqing extracted had propelled him directly from the early stage of Qi Nourishing to the middle stage.

This cultivation speed.

Was it not heaven-defying?

"System, continue AFK cultivation!"

Chen Changqing issued the command.

Soon, the system responded:

[Ding!]

[AFK cultivation initiated.]

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

Chen Changqing lay lazily on his simple wooden bed.

He pondered that with this AFK Immortal Cultivation System, wouldn't he rise rapidly through the ranks and reach immortality in the near future?

"Hoo!"

As he thought, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"This makes things much easier."

"Perhaps, in the upcoming Outer Sect Disciple Competition, I might even have a chance to show off my skills."

Originally, Chen Changqing had held no hope for the Outer Sect Disciple Competition.

But now, with this AFK System, it had given him fresh ideas.

Time slipped away.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

During this period, Chen Changqing had kept the AFK cultivation running without rushing to extract the rewards.

"Dong..."

At the fourth quarter of the You hour, the melodious bell of the Mount Shu outer sect rang out, signaling the end of the day.

Chen Changqing closed the mountain gate as usual.

Afterward, he hurried back to his small courtyard.

Once he had secured the doors and windows, he quickly sat cross-legged on his wooden bed and communicated with the system:

"System."

"Extract AFK results!"

Soon, the system's response came:

[Ding!]

[Detected that the host has been AFK for seventy-eight hours. Do you wish to claim the AFK results?]

"Claim!"

Chen Changqing was incredibly excited.

Immediately following this, streams of pure spiritual power emanated from the Little Golden Man sitting cross-legged before him, surging into Chen Changqing's body.

Chen Changqing's body was like a vortex, quickly swallowing all of that spiritual power.

As a warm current instantly flowed through his entire body, Chen Changqing clearly felt the surging spiritual energy within his meridians.

He then circulated his energy and discovered that his spiritual power flowed nearly twice as fast as before, and the vortex within his dantian had become even more solid.

His cultivation level had broken through from the middle stage of Qi Nourishing directly to the late stage!

"Awesome!"

Chen Changqing couldn't help but pump his fist.

The pleasure brought by this breakthrough in cultivation was even more exciting than leveling up in the games of his past life.

"Three days of AFK cultivation, and it brought me to the late stage of Qi Nourishing."

"I'm only a step away from the Body Refining realm!"

Chen Changqing marveled.

He thought that if he kept cultivating like this, wouldn't his strength skyrocket?

"System, continue AFK cultivation!"

Afterward, he let the system continue AFK cultivation and casually opened his own attribute panel to take a look:

[Name: Chen Changqing.]

[Age: Eighteen.]

[Identity: Mount Shu Sect Outer Disciple "Closed-Door" Disciple.]

[Cultivation: Late stage of Qi Nourishing.]

[Technique: Basic Body Nourishing Technique.]

[Divine Ability: None.]

[Treasures: None.]

[AFK Points: Cliffside Cabin!]

Looking at the still-empty slots for techniques, divine abilities, and treasures, Chen Changqing could not help but offer a bitter smile.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him.

My cultivation has broken through to the late stage of Qi Nourishing.

I can go to the Technique Hall to claim a Body Refining cultivation method.

According to the rules of the Mount Shu Sect, disciples were only eligible to claim the next stage of techniques once they reached the late stage of Qi Nourishing.

It's almost dark.

I'd better head to the Technique Hall tomorrow.

Having made up his mind, Chen Changqing composed his thoughts and immediately began to regulate his breath, consolidating the realm he had just broken through to.

The next morning.

Chen Changqing rose early, straightened his standard-issue green outer disciple robes, and hung his Identity Token in a prominent position at his waist.

I hope I can find a Body Refining technique that suits me!

With that, Chen Changqing did not dawdle and headed toward the mountain where the Technique Hall was located, filled with anticipation.

Shushan in the morning mist was like a fairyland.

Looking at the main peak from afar, it resembled a sharp blue sword piercing the clouds, its summit glowing with a faint golden radiance under the morning sun.

On the mountainside of another peak, a sea of clouds churned, occasionally revealing the corners of flying eaves and arched brackets—this was the Technique Hall.

Along the way, clear springs and waterfalls cascaded with a murmuring sound.

Various spiritual birds and exotic beasts were visible everywhere, and houses built along the mountain terrain were scattered in an orderly fashion amidst the swirling mist.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, Chen Changqing heard a sound of something piercing the air.

Following the sound, he saw a streak of sword light cutting across the sky.

I wonder which elder or true disciple of the sect is flying on a sword?

Chen Changqing murmured, his eyes full of yearning.

Regaining his composure, he had no time to linger and continued his hurried pace toward the Technique Hall.

He climbed up the stone steps, flanked on both sides by ancient pines and cypresses that had weathered a thousand years of frost.

Teng vines were wrapped around the tree trunks, blooming with unknown immortal flowers that emitted a refreshing, lingering fragrance.

Occasionally, a few glowing spiritual herbs could be seen in the cracks of the stone steps.

Just like that, Chen Changqing's figure wove through the mountain forest mist.

Before long, he arrived at the mountainside of a peak.

Crossing several stone bridges, a magnificent hall revealed itself before his eyes.

This was exactly where the Technique Hall was located.

"Stop!"

As soon as he reached the Technique Hall, a shout rang out.

Then, a stern-faced middle-aged cultivator stepped forward to block Chen Changqing's path.

"Greetings, Pavilion Guard Elder!"

Chen Changqing bowed to the middle-aged cultivator, hurriedly produced his Identity Token, and said respectfully:

"Disciple Chen Changqing!"

"With late-stage Qi Nourishing cultivation, I have come to the Technique Hall today to claim a basic technique."

The middle-aged cultivator took the token, examined it carefully, and swept his divine sense over Chen Changqing's entire body. Upon confirming that Chen Changqing's cultivation had indeed reached the late stage of Qi Nourishing, he nodded and said:

"Go in."

"Remember, you may only select from the first floor, and you are limited to one hour."

Having said this, the Pavilion Guard Elder swiftly formed a hand seal, directly opening the restrictions of the Technique Hall.

Chen Changqing felt the space before his eyes ripple.

He did not hesitate, lifting his feet and striding into the Technique Hall.

Upon entering the Technique Hall, Chen Changqing was immediately struck by the scene before him.

Looking out, thousands of bookshelves came into view, each neatly lined with various Jade Slips, bamboo scrolls, and ancient texts.

"This is the foundation of Mount Shu!"

Surveying the area, Chen Changqing could not help but exclaim in admiration.

Still reeling from the shock, he walked briskly toward the technique section.

Although the system can provide me with a steady stream of cultivation, these techniques are also extremely important.

A ten-thousand-foot tower rises from the ground; I must lay a solid foundation.

After a moment of thought, Chen Changqing began his selection.

Iron Garment Strength: Requires diligent practice through summer and winter; progress is slow, but the defense is astonishing.

Spirit Snake Body-Softening Technique: Focuses on nimble movement, which clashes with the fierce and aggressive path of sword cultivation.

Chen Changqing carefully selected and compared them.

Suddenly, a technique titled Primordial Posture Technique caught Chen Changqing's attention.

"Stand like a pine, unite form and intent, become as one in the Primordial."

Looking at the vermilion annotations on the technique, Chen Changqing felt an inexplicable stirring in his heart and immediately made his decision: "This is the one!!"
