Inside the main hall of the Huashan Sect, Ling Yi sat in the main seat, looking at Yue Buqun and asking, " Old Yue, do you want to be the leader of the martial arts alliance?"
Yue Buqun's lips twitched. What kind of person is Old Yue?
The leader of the martial arts alliance? Of course he wanted to be that, let alone the leader of the martial arts alliance, he would be satisfied with being the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, but he didn't dare to say it.
With a forced laugh, Yue Buqun said, "Immortal Master is joking. The leader of the martial arts alliance is a person of both virtue and integrity, and I, Yue, do not consider myself qualified."
"I'm asking you if you want to be one; whether you're qualified or not is up to me."
"Don't overthink it. Just tell me the truth: do you want to be in this position? If you don't, I'll find someone else."
"So direct?" Yue Buqun hesitated for a long time, his face turning red and then white.
Finally, gritting his teeth, he said, "Of course I want to, but..."
"That's enough. Show me your Zixia Divine Art, and come up with a plan for tonight."
"Plan?"
"For example, who is the biggest obstacle? What are the obstacles? Where should we start?"
"I understand!"
Yue Buqun had a million questions in his mind, such as, " Big Shot, why are you helping me? You're practically an immortal, what are you after...?"
But I dare not ask.
"Immortal Master, this is the Zixia Manual."
With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi obtained the Ling Yi Zixia Manual and quickly began to peruse it.
His current Divine Power has reached 230 points, which is 230 times that of an ordinary person. He Photographic Memory, comprehension, and insight that are all extraordinary.
This Zixia Manual contains numerous notes, drawing a very detailed diagram of the human body's meridians, with explanations for almost every acupoint and meridian.
Old Yue seems to have put in a lot of Kung Fu Hustle.
This saved Ling Yi a lot of trouble.
Game notification: Congratulations, player, you have obtained the Zixia Manual. Do you wish to learn it?
"Hmm? Can it be learned directly? Aren't the things players get from NPCs things they can't learn directly?"
The game wasn't his personal system, so it wouldn't provide him with any answers.
Ling Yi guessed that it was likely because Old Yue was a key character in the main storyline, and even if it were forcibly taken, Old Yue would be powerless to resist. Therefore, the system defaulted to accepting the acquisition method as valid.
Since he could learn it directly, Ling Yi naturally wouldn't waste any time.
"Study!"
The game notification appeared again a moment later.
Game notification: Congratulations, player, you have learned the martial arts manual through Reincarnation. Do you wish to unlock your personal martial arts panel?
"Activate!"
Game notification: Congratulations! Player has successfully Reincarnation and unlocked the martial arts character panel. Please check the specific functions yourself.
Ling Yi directly opened the game interface. Next to the original attribute interface, a new panel appeared, which was the martial arts interface.
Wuxia (Martial Arts) Section:
Realm: Acquired Great Perfection (All attributes reach 20, which is Acquired Great Perfection; Internal Energy reaches 100, which can advance to Innate.)
Internal Energy: 0 (Can be cultivated by consuming health points; every 10 health points can be converted into 1 point of Internal Energy. The higher the grade of the cultivation technique, the faster the conversion speed.)
Martial arts skills: None
Internal Energy Cultivation Technique: Zixia Manual (D-level martial art, converts 20 health points per second.)
Meridian Quality: SS -S Grade, Innate Dao Body, all meridians are open!
Ling Yi stroked his chin and immediately chose to cultivate.
Ling Yi currently has 5120 health points, and can convert 20 points (2 points of Internal Energy ) per second...
Fifty seconds later, Ling Yi's Aura suddenly surged, and his body was enveloped in purple mist, directly entering the Innate Realm.
Yue Buqun shuddered. This was already at the Innate? He wasn't even at the Innate Realm yet! He truly deserved to be called a Celestial Master; was it really necessary to be this heaven-defying?
Two and a half minutes later, at the Middle Xiantian, and another minute later, Ling Yi simply... died.
That's right, he died. His health was 5120. If he converted all of his health into Internal Energy, he would die.
For an ordinary person, dying wouldn't be a big deal, but for a player... Ling Yi Resurrection on the spot.
"Holy crap, isn't this a bug?"
But when I checked my health, it was only 1 point! Sure enough, there can't be any bugs in the game.
However, the player's health can regenerate automatically; the higher the constitution, the faster the regeneration.
With Ling Yi's current recovery speed, plus the 10x recovery speed bonus from his passive skill "Body of Steel," his health will be full again in just a few minutes.
Ling Yi discovered that as his health rapidly recovered, he could Perception an energy converging towards him from the heavens and earth.
Ling Yi instantly understood. Energy naturally follows the law of conservation. Life cannot be restored for no reason; it must consume something. Ling Yi estimated that the energy consumed in the world was most likely Spiritual Qi.
Four minutes later, Late Innate... waiting for three minutes for life to recover.
The next moment, Innate Great Perfection, and his Internal Energy reached 1000.
Wuxia (Martial Arts) Section:
Realm: Innate Great Perfection (Upon reaching 10,000 Internal Energy, one can advance to the Master Realm.)
Internal Energy: 1000 (Can be cultivated by consuming health points; every 10 health points can be converted into 1 point of Internal Energy. The higher the grade of the cultivation technique, the faster the conversion speed.)
Martial arts skills: None
Internal Energy Cultivation Technique: Zixia Manual (D-level martial art, converts 20 health points per second.)
Meridian Quality: SS -S Grade, Innate Dao Body, all meridians are open!
Looking at the data on the martial arts section, Ling Yi stroked his chin thoughtfully. This cultivation is too easy.
If the other players knew what Ling Yi was thinking, they'd probably kill him.
How many health points do most players have right now?
Even Xuanyuan Yan, who is over level 60, only has a little over 3,000 health points. After losing those 3,000 health points, it would take at least three days to recover without any potions.
Other players, lacking the Innate Dao Body bonus, will experience slower progress the longer they cultivate.
For an average player, converting a small amount of Internal Energy might take ten minutes or even longer, even with an internal energy cultivation technique of grade D or higher.
In reality, the martial arts techniques that ordinary players obtain are of relatively low level. Most players may only be able to convert 1 point of their internal energy cultivation technique into real energy after half a day.
This speed is too slow. Also, if your internal strength doesn't reach a certain level, the boost to your power is not significant. Without good internal skills and techniques, the boost is negligible.
Therefore, most players are unwilling to spend time practicing martial arts.
Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze, and the few cats from the Huashan Sect all looked at Ling Yi as if he were a god.
From the moment Ling Yi began cultivating until now, the purple aura around his body has been rising continuously and becoming increasingly dense. In just a quarter of an hour, he has reached a level that they could not fathom.
Seeing Ling Yi stop, Yue Buqun cautiously asked, "May I ask what realm you have reached in your cultivation, Immortal Master?"
" The Innate Great Perfection... this speed is a bit slow. It'll probably take about two more hours, or an Shichen, to break through to the Master Realm."
Old Yue's body hunched over slightly. "Big Shot, are you serious? You reached the Innate Great Perfection in half an incense stick's time, and you can break through to a higher realm... Master an Shichen?"
So, if I give you two days, are you going to become an immortal?
No, that person is an immortal. Sorry to bother you.
Looking at the hunched-over, pitiful-looking Old Yue, Ling Yi suddenly had an idea.
"Come here!" Ling Yi said to Yue Buqun.
"Hmm?" Yue Buqun looked up, bewildered.
"Let me see if I can get a top-level initiation."
Yue Buqun's eyes lit up. A spiritual awakening?
Seeing Yue Buqun changing his expression again, Ling Yi activated his Telekinesis and grabbed him directly.
Yue Buqun's current Internal Energy is estimated to be around 90 points. Ling Yi plans to convert the 5000 points of health he just recovered into Internal Energy and pour them all into Yue Buqun's meridians.
However, after Ling Yi poured in less than 50 points of Internal Energy, he felt a sense of resistance.
"Hmm? This means the meridians aren't fully open yet?" Ling Yi instantly understood the reason.
"Focus all your energy on cultivating your Internal Energy," Ling Yi shouted in a low voice.
Yue Buqun also calmed his mind and fully activated the Zixia Manual. A faint purple aura permeated the air. A few minutes later, with the powerful Internal Energy that Ling Yi had poured into his meridians, he forcibly broke through the blocked meridians.
Old Yue, one step into the Innate.
Ling Yi frowned. He could clearly Perception that Yue Buqun's meridians were much weaker and thinner compared to his own... Hmm? It seemed like something strange had gotten mixed in.
If one compares their meridians to great rivers, then Yue Buqun's meridians are not even worthy of being called streams.
Therefore, the process was very slow. It took Yue Buqun an hour to fully integrate all 500 points of Internal Energy into his meridians Dantian, officially reaching the Middle Xiantian.
"This is too much trouble." Ling Yi sat up straight, waiting for his life to return to normal.
Yue Buqun was both amused and exasperated. In half Shichen, he had gone from the Peak Acquired to the Middle Xiantian. That was already incredibly fast and extraordinary, wasn't it? And yet you still complained about the trouble.
"Many thanks to the Immortal Master for his great kindness; I, Yue, can never repay it, even in my death."
"You go and make a plan first, I'll practice some more."
"Yes!"
The group left the main hall, stood at the entrance, exchanged glances, and all breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Yi put too much pressure on them.
"I don't know if this is good or bad for Mount Hua," Ning Zhongze sighed.
"Silence!" Yue Buqun shook his head.
Yue Buqun saw things very clearly. Good or bad was beyond his control, and there was no possibility of resistance. Since he couldn't resist, he could only accept it and try to maximize his interests.
On the other side, Ling Yi had indeed begun to feel the effects of his cultivation.
It felt novel and comfortable to feel my Internal Energy flowing through my meridians.
" The Chosen One, indeed, is blessed with extraordinary talent." Back in his room, Yue Buqun said with some envy.
"The Immortal Master must be a top-tier expert among the Chosen One, Senior Brother. How should we deal with him? We've never had any dealings with the other Chosen One, but this one..."
"There must be some scheme involved. If I'm not mistaken, the competition among the Chosen One is exceptionally brutal. We've seen them constantly fighting each Chosen One before, and there must be various factions and sects involved, just like in the Jianghu."
After a pause, Yue Buqun continued, "This world is like a feast for the Chosen One, but the feast is limited, so there will inevitably be competition. In the past, it was just a struggle between ordinary Chosen One, but now that powerful forces have joined, I'm afraid this world is about to undergo a major change."
If Ling Yi heard Yue Buqun's words, he would definitely give him a thumbs up. This guy truly deserves to be called an expert in scheming; his brain is really sharp.
