Since the system has said so, Li Xingkong naturally won't rush to choose this "shortcut" for quick success. In any case, with the system's help, his future cultivation will definitely not stagnate at the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stages.
In the system's words, even if Li Xingkong were a pig, it would still be possible to guide him to university graduation; it would just require a bit more effort.
Having chosen his cultivation method, Li Xingkong voluntarily slowed down his cultivation speed for the first time, starting by optimizing his Qi Refining Method and cultivating step by step.
This training session is just a short, routine practice, so it won't take too long and there's no need for a special seclusion.
Nevertheless, after Li Xingkong finished his cultivation, he checked the time and found that a week had already passed.
Now that I'm practicing, time flies by so fast. If I'm not careful, several days will have passed. It's like a normal person taking a nap in class and half a day's lessons are over. When I'm immersed in practice, I don't pay any attention to the passage of time in reality.
A week has passed, Li Xingkong has decided not to continue his cultivation for another round. He plans to check on the progress of the others first.
After leaving his cultivation room, Li Xingkong headed directly towards Moon-Embracing Mountain.
Before long, when Li Xingkong arrived at the place where they had fought their Spiritual Qi battle last time, he found that the place was already full of people.
The situation wasn't much different from last time. Most people were sitting in pairs, engaging in back-and-forth Spiritual Qi battles, while a few people sat alone to the side, seemingly cultivating.
While a quiet environment is indeed beneficial for spiritual practice, being in an environment where many others are also practicing can also have a positive effect, especially for those with wavering minds. Seeing others practicing might tempt them to continue practicing due to a herd mentality.
Li Xingkong's arrival went unnoticed. He first glanced at the people fighting. Their Spiritual Qi manipulation skills had improved significantly compared to a few days ago, almost as if they were controlling their own arms. The researchers who were not from Divine Land People that Li Xingkong had noticed last time had also improved their Spiritual Qi manipulation skills considerably, giving the impression that they had gone from driving a broken tricycle to driving a sports car.
Although I still can't treat Spiritual Qi as a second body, controlling it to do some simple research and cultivation is no longer a problem. Compared to others, it just takes a little more effort and time.
After observing the people engaged in battle, Li Xingkong turned his gaze to those who were cultivating.
Because of their cultivation level, even under Li Xingkong's gaze, these people did not feel that anyone was spying on them and were still wholeheartedly cultivating their Qi refining Qi Refining Method.
From Li Xingkong's perspective, he could see the entire cultivation process of these people. Li Xingkong could clearly see the Spiritual Qi they controlled flowing through their bodies, moving in and out of their bodies.
Those who dared to begin practicing Qi Refining Method at least had considerable confidence in their ability to manipulate Spiritual Qi and had gained some experience in controlling it. In the short few minutes that Li Xingkong observed, it was clear that these people's ability to manipulate Spiritual Qi energy was much higher than that of the others who were still fighting on the side.
They can not only treat Spiritual Qi as an extension of themselves, but also begin to utilize the different characteristics of Spiritual Qi and the human body.
The Mana Circuit provided by " The Rising Sun Guide " are very simple, reduced to just a few circuits running through the main parts of the body. They are also linked to acupoints to facilitate positioning within the body when constructing Mana Circuit. In Li Xingkong's view, this cultivation method has been simplified to a certain level. Basically, as long as one learns the prerequisite knowledge slightly, one can get started.
After giving it a quick glance, Li Xingkong began to examine each person's progress in detail.
He created the cultivation techniques and the Spiritual Qi for cultivation. Li Xingkong only needed to take a slight look to know the general level of these people's cultivation, and he even knew more about it than the cultivators themselves.
Their order of practicing Qi Refining Method was basically the same, all starting with building their Qi Sea. At this moment, most of them were stuck at this point. Although the Qi Refining Method provided specific methods for building the Qi Sea, everyone had their own understanding of it. This resulted in slight differences in the construction of each person's Qi Sea, even though they were learning the same technique.
Some people follow the rules meticulously. If the example given in the Qi Refining Method is a circular Qi Sea, they will follow the Qi Refining Method exactly, making sure to make it exactly the same. They even use Spiritual Qi to constantly measure the size, making sure it is exactly the same.
After reading the cultivation theories related to the Qi Sea, some people began to insert their own insights when constructing it. Although they may not have enough knowledge about cultivation, Li Xingkong's Qi Refining Method already explained the construction of the Qi Sea quite clearly, which is why they dared to modify it.
Their modifications to the Qi Sea are generally related to their professional fields of study. Some design the shape of the Qi Sea during construction, making the entire Qi Sea look like a golden lotus. Although it is not yet completed, they have already used Spiritual Qi to build a rough framework in the corresponding positions.
Some made adjustments to the material structure of the inner wall of the Qi Sea. Based on their research on the composition of the Body Tempering Grass, these people may have made some achievements in materials science, so they made many adjustments during the construction.
Regardless of the modification, coupled with the already complex Qi Refining Method for ordinary people, it made it difficult for them to improve their cultivation speed. The few people with their own ideas that Li Xingkong had seen were basically stuck at the stage of building their Qi Sea, which was neither good nor bad.
Among this group, the fastest progress was made by those who had been modified by Li Xingkong. Before they even began their cultivation, Li Xingkong had already helped them build their Qi Sea and simple Mana Circuit. However, at that time, they only knew how to use them, but they didn't understand the underlying principles at all.
After obtaining the Qi Refining Method, they began to learn it in reverse, using the existing structure within their own bodies as a Qi Refining Method. With a physical object to compare with, the learning speed was quite fast. After all, they only needed to study the theory; Li Xingkong had already done the actual work for them.
Of course, this doesn't mean they don't need to learn anything. On the contrary, although their cultivation progress is faster than others, they haven't personally practiced the Qi Refining Method from scratch. Many details can't be seen just by looking; they can only be perceived by doing it themselves.
Although they started at a higher level, their foundation is relatively weak, which is both a good and a bad thing.
