After hearing Li Xingkong say that the cultivation technique alone was over ten gigabytes in size, Wu Ting and Tang Cheng had their first direct experience of how difficult it was to learn immortal cultivation techniques.
Whether the content of the technique is obscure or not is another matter, but the sheer difficulty of the sheer amount of material involved was already a huge blow to them.
Let alone martial arts techniques, even a 12GB pornographic film Jidu for anyone to watch without skipping through it.
"Now I know what it means to be difficult in spiritual practice."
Wu Ting took the USB Li Xingkong and looked distressed.
He originally thought that after starting work, studying would be something he would never have to do with again, but now it seems he has to throw himself into intense studying again.
However, this time the motivation to learn is quite strong, because it is for the sake of cultivation, and this kind of learning can directly change oneself.
"It's really tough, Brother Wu. I came here hoping to relax and unwind, but now that's not an option."
Tang Cheng wasn't very confident about whether he could complete the course.
The main problem is the sheer volume of material, coupled with the learning time; it takes far too long to learn.
Li Xingkong didn't have any good ideas. If there was enough Spiritual Qi, he could start by teaching them the basics of Qi Refining Method cultivation, skipping all the theoretical stages and getting them straight to Qi Refining. The advantage of this was that they would learn very quickly.
However, the amount of Spiritual Qi is currently insufficient, and this particular Spiritual Qi is essentially bound to me.
It's fine to bring family and friends along to cultivate immortality, but the premise is that your own cultivation cannot be disturbed, otherwise it would be putting the cart before the horse.
"System, do you have any good suggestions?"
Finding no good solutions on his own, Li Xingkong turned his attention to the system.
What exactly is the effect you want right now?
Upon hearing Li Xingkong's question, the system countered with a question of its own.
"The desired effect? Then I want them to embark on cultivation as soon as possible."
Without hesitation, Li Xingkong reasoned that if he was going to teach them, he had to guide them onto the path of cultivation; he couldn't just teach them haphazardly and call it a day.
"There is indeed an easier way."
The system responded.
What method?
Li Xingkong really couldn't figure it out. Based on his learning experience, if you want to embark on cultivation, you can't lack either theory or Spiritual Qi.
"You can manually help them complete the introductory steps of Qi Refining Technique. Although their Spiritual Qi is insufficient and their theoretical knowledge is lacking, if you simply want them to enter the cultivation stage, you can manually construct the framework of the Qi Refining Method within their bodies."
"Although they lack Spiritual Qi, preventing them from gaining a detailed understanding of the Qi Refining Method and hindering their further practice, they should still have no problem accumulating Magic Power and applying it in simple ways based on the Qi Refining Method you've already established."
The system's solution was very simple and straightforward; it didn't intend for them to follow Li Xingkong's approach and instead directly had Li Xingkong handle the Qi Refining for them.
It's like Li Xingkong treated the two of them like two cell phones, and installed the Qi Refining Method on them like a software package.
They cannot modify or upgrade the version of the Qi Refining Method, nor can they understand how the Qi Refining Method works, but that does not prevent them from using the Qi Refining Method.
Although we won't develop TikTok, that doesn't stop us from using it.
Although Li Xingkong felt that by doing this, the two of them couldn't be considered true Qi Refining cultivators, at least they had extraordinary abilities that were different from ordinary people right from the start, so they could be considered cultivators, right?
After thinking about the system's opinions for a while, Li Xingkong still felt it was better to ask the two of them for their opinions directly.
After all, the transformation ultimately rests on the shoulders of the two of them; if they disagree, all my thinking will be in vain.
"Besides directly learning the Hibernating Dragon Technique, there is another way for you to quickly embark on cultivation. I wonder if you would be willing."
Li Xingkong asked, and to be honest, he felt that this approach was somewhat inappropriate. It was all about knowing how but not why, unlike cultivation methods, it was more like genetic modification or superpowered warriors.
"Huh? Tell me about it."
The two were still struggling with the fact that it would take so long to learn a basic skill, but when they heard Li Xingkong say that there was a Mystic Gate way, their eyes lit up.
What does cultivation represent for them now? Immortality is too far away; they dare not even think about it.
Isn't their current cultivation all for these few miraculous techniques?
They would naturally be very willing to complete the repairs quickly.
"That means I'll directly instruct you in the Qi Refining Method method, but you won't be able to Qi Refining Method it yourself. The level I give you will be the same as what you're at. Only when you have sufficient theoretical knowledge and abundant Spiritual Qi can you advance further."
Li Xingkong gave a brief explanation of the situation.
"Initiation?"
After hearing Li Xingkong's explanation, the two exchanged glances but did not rush to express their opinions.
Since Li Xingkong hadn't mentioned this method before, it means that this method was definitely not something Li Xingkong had experienced, or rather, it had some flaws.
Is there any danger in this initiation ceremony?
Wu Ting asked questions, but compared to other things, he was more concerned about safety.
"The only danger is that I've never done this before. If you want it, it'll be my first time."
Li Xingkong wasn't sure if he could handle it smoothly, since he had never done it for anyone else before.
However, it doesn't matter if there's a mistake; with multiple healing spells, saving the person is no problem at all.
"I'll go first, I'll go first."
Tang Cheng spoke, his gaze quite firm.
"I got to know Brother Li thanks to Brother Wu's introduction. I'll go first on this. Anyway, Brother Li has amazing abilities, I trust him."
This kid is pretty brave.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine even if you fail; you'll just have to try a few more times."
Li Xingkong reassured them.
After pondering for a few more minutes, the two of them decided to accept Li Xingkong's initiation (transformation).
After all, it's something that's hard to resist, and it's difficult for anyone to refuse.
"Then let's go." Li Xingkong led the two into his cave dwelling and then had Tang Cheng lie down on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Wu Ting sat quietly to one side, watching without saying a word, but his constantly rubbing hands showed that he was quite nervous.
Li Xingkong didn't appear as relaxed as he seemed.
I've reached a certain level in my own Qi Refining, but this is the first time I've Qi Refining on someone else.
Li Xingkong Qi Refining only after he had achieved perfect control over his body. He was very familiar with his own body and could practice with ease, which ensured that there would be no mistakes.
Although Tang Cheng is also human, everyone's physical structure is different, and Li Xingkong cannot sense his nerve perception and body, so he can only use Spiritual Qi to detect him.
In this situation, the biggest problem is that one cannot immediately sense when a problem arises; one can only wait for Tang Cheng to give feedback. However, Tang Cheng has never cultivated before, so he doesn't know what is normal and what is abnormal.
The most troublesome thing is this gap in information flow between exchanges.
