Am I the only one encountering this problem?
Li Xingkong was somewhat skeptical. Even if he didn't encounter this energy problem Foundation Establishment Stage, he should have encountered it during his later cultivation.
"This is the second difference between you and others. Even if they encounter this kind of problem, they can simply find a better cultivation technique of the same type to replace it. But it's different for you. The cultivation technique you're practicing doesn't offer any improvement, and you can't find a better one of its kind."
"So it turns out that having the right cultivation method from the start wasn't a good thing after all."
Li Xingkong somewhat speechless. This technique being too good was also a problem; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
"Since even the Sun and Moon Qi Refining Method couldn't support all the Hexagram of the Heavenly Evolution Foundation Establishment Method, has anyone actually ever successfully cultivated this Heavenly Evolution Foundation Establishment Method?"
Although Li Xingkong had mastered the Qian Hexagram, he already knew how much Magic Power Hexagram consumed. He found it hard to imagine that anyone could actually master all eight Eight Trigrams and Foundation Establishment Perfection.
"Hehe, there really aren't any people who have successfully completed the Foundation Establishment Stage. Ever since the Heavenly Evolution Foundation Establishment Method was compiled, even the most outstanding individuals only managed to cultivate up to the fourth trigram before preparing to Core Formation. And most of their subsequent cultivation was completed after reaching the Golden Core."
The system chuckled a few times, just like a shrewd businessman.
Li Xingkong couldn't help but roll his eyes. It seemed that no one had ever successfully cultivated this Foundation Establishment Method during the Foundation Establishment stage. The enormous energy required for it simply couldn't be provided at this stage.
"But they're different from you. You have a much deeper understanding of the essence of Spiritual Qi, and you created it Spiritual Qi. Compared to them, you have a much greater advantage."
Clearly, the system didn't give Li Xingkong this kind of cultivation technique for no reason; there was a reason behind it.
"Sigh, after asking around for so long, there's really nothing I can rely on regarding relationships."
Li Xingkong sighed, realizing that in the end, things still had to go according to his own ideas.
First, I'll cultivate the Moonlight Qi Refining Method to perfection, and then I'll try to learn the other Qi Refining Method as well. Let's see if this approach is efficient enough.
Judging from this pace, my secluded cultivation this time will definitely take a considerable amount of time.
No longer communicating with the system, Li Xingkong sat cross-legged and began to ponder the Moonlight Qi Refining Method.
This method of manipulating gravity is considered advanced technology from Earth Star's perspective. Earth Star's current research on gravity is only superficial; we can only say that we have discovered this force, but that's all we have to say. We haven't yet understood its principles.
Therefore, this method of practice is inherently difficult to learn, and there is little to refer to.
Li Xingkong devoted himself entirely to the study of this method, and the Magic Power within his body was quietly changing as his understanding of the Qi Refining Method deepened.
Nearly three months passed before Li Xingkong finally stopped his research on the Moonlight Qi Refining Method.
Although the upper limit of this Qi Refining Method is much higher than that of the Sun and Moon Qi Refining Method, Li Xingkong had already practiced it for a period of time. In addition, with three months of sleepless and dedicated research, as well as the system's detailed answers to various professional questions, Li Xingkong's practice of this Qi Refining Method reached perfection in just a few months.
After mastering this Qi Refining Method, Li Xingkong's Magic Power recovery speed was obviously much faster, almost twice as fast as before.
Li Xingkong's Magic Power recovery speed was already very fast, and now it was even faster than expected. However, considering the Heavenly Evolution Foundation Establishment Method, Li Xingkong's original smug mood quickly disappeared.
Although it's much faster, it can only support a maximum of two Hexagram existing simultaneously. It's still far from being able to master this Foundation Establishment Method.
So far, there's one Qi Refining Method provided by the system that he hasn't practiced yet: the last orthodox method of cultivating using magnetic force. As for the unorthodox methods the system mentioned, such as wind gathering and Qi gathering, their core lies in the Ingestion Spell he's already learned. These methods can only be considered backup options, since even if he ate whatever he wanted every day, he couldn't recoup the energy he consumes in his current cultivation.
These niche Qi Refining methods are only good for learning and broadening one's horizons; the only legitimate methods to rely on are these few orthodox practices.
"System, please pass on this final Qi -Qi Refining Method that utilizes magnetism to me as well."
Li Xingkong assessed his current strength and then said to the system, "Since I need to solve the problem of Magic Power supply first, I might as well solve it all at once."
OK
The system quickly transmitted the Qi Refining Method that Li Xingkong needed to him, and a complete cultivation method soon appeared in Li Xingkong's mind.
The Magnetic Essence Qi Refining Method
The names of the cultivation techniques provided by the system are very simple; you can tell what they do just by looking at the names.
After receiving the Qi Refining Method, Li Xingkong quickly read through the general outline.
This Qi Refining Method utilizes the magnetic force inherent in all things to obtain energy. Initially, it starts with weak life forms, such as small animals, and then, as the cultivation progresses, it gradually evolves to obtain energy from the human body, from large groups of people, and from the magnetic field of the planet itself, proceeding step by step.
However, Li Xingkong did not need to follow this method of practice. This was his third Qi Refining Method, and he already had a solid foundation. Moreover, he was already at the Foundation Establishment Stage, so he could directly use the planet's magnetic field as the basis for his Qi Refining Method practice from the very beginning.
Although the Qi Refining Method Qi Refining Method different, there are also commonalities among them. In particular, the very complete Magic Power channels that Li Xingkong has built in his body are universal regardless of the Qi Refining Method, which has greatly accelerated his Qi Refining Method speed.
Nearly half a year later, Li Xingkong had also mastered this Qi Refining Method.
It's safe to say that this is indeed the Qi Refining Method recommended by the system. After mastering this Qi Refining Method, the speed at which Magic Power recovers has doubled compared to before the seclusion.
In other words, Li Xingkong's current rate of Magic Power recovery is four times that before he went into seclusion.
The improvement is significant, but for Li Xingkong, it's still far from enough.
If I could find another orthodox Qi Refining Method to practice, I could make up for the remaining gap.
However, the other Qi Refining Method provided by the system are clearly far inferior to these Qi Refining Method, and even if one were to master them, the improvement would certainly not reach this level.
At best, they are roughly equivalent to the simplified version of the Rising Sun Guide Method that Li Xingkong used based on the Sun and Moon Qi Refining Method, and they are of little help to Li Xingkong's cultivation.
Therefore, Li Xingkong had to find a way to master this last Qi Refining Method himself. He took a deep breath and frowned deeply.
No wonder the system said that even the most outstanding person had only cultivated four times the number of Hexagram. Judging from the current situation, if he can't fill the remaining gap himself, he can only cultivate four Hexagram, and then he will have to find a way to break through to the Golden Core stage.
