Multiverse: In Little Garden, Becoming a God Through Once Proven, Forever Proven
Lu Jin looked at Qin Qi, whose expression had not wavered in the slightest upon hearing all the problems he had described, and nodded.
His temperament was excellent. He knew what he wanted and was not simply pursuing power; he had a clear goal and acted to achieve it.
"I'll give you a demonstration first."
Lu Jin began by demonstrating the first stage, starting with the skin and flesh. "At the first stage of Threefold Reversal, true qi fills the body and transforms the skin and flesh into qi. Every movement carries the strength of dragons and tigers!"
Lu Jin's skin began to turn white. It was not a deathly pallor, but a faint whiteness that was hard to notice without looking closely.
"At this stage, your qi reserves will keep increasing, and your strength and defense will improve. At the same time, because your skin and flesh have been transformed into qi, you'll become faster too."
"At the second stage of Threefold Reversal, your muscles, bones, and internal organs are transformed into qi. Together with the skin and flesh from the first stage, this makes your body indestructible."
"A thunderous blow that could destroy other qi refiners would barely make a ripple against us."
"On top of that, no illness can afflict you, and if you're injured, you can circulate qi to heal yourself directly."
"Once you reach the final stage of cultivation, you can reconstruct the three dantians. Your physical body will no longer have any fatal weaknesses, and you can even disperse and reform at will to a certain extent."
As Lu Jin spoke, his entire body turned completely white. This time, it was not a faint white, but the white of a wall.
"The third stage... I haven't reached the third stage myself. In the past, I only ever saw my master reach that realm."
"So I can't describe or show you what that realm is like."
Lu Jin hesitated a little at this point, but he still told him everything exactly as it was, hiding nothing.
"Mm."
Qin Qi nodded. He was thinking about something else.
"You don't need to worry about what I said earlier, kid. Although cultivating Threefold Reversal carries risks, that was in the past."
"After Master spent many years researching and refining it, problems have become rare among our generation."
"As long as you don't rush and proceed carefully, nothing will go wrong."
Seeing Qin Qi deep in thought, Lu Jin assumed he was considering the risks of learning Threefold Reversal and spoke up.
[Over the time that followed, you began learning from Lu Jin, starting at the very beginning with transforming the skin and flesh into qi. Lu Jin taught you step by step.]
[He explained everything in meticulous detail: what to do at each point and what to watch out for. He also repeatedly warned you that the greatest taboo in Threefold Reversal was impatience.]
[You had to go slowly. Taking your time and proceeding steadily was the safest approach. If you grew impatient, something was bound to go wrong.]
Chapter 45: Ah, It's the Demonic Cultivation Patriarch, We're Done For!
"Circulating qi... I can feel it."
Qin Qi easily sensed the gathering and circulation of qi through his eight extraordinary meridians. His first thought was:
So slow, so troublesome, and so much is wasted.
Qin Qi felt that compared with releasing energy directly from his cells, this method of circulating qi through the meridians added an extra step and was much slower.
At the same time, if your control was poor, there was a lot of energy in your body that you would be unable to mobilize.
"The first step is to transform the skin into qi."
Qin Qi did not immediately set about modifying it. Instead, he cultivated step by step and began transforming his skin into qi. Whether it was because of Lu Jin's instruction,
or because Qin Qi's own cultivation was already so high, he accomplished in an instant something that should have taken a long time.
"Getting started with the first stage usually takes a few months. Just take it slowly. You're still young and have plenty of time."
Lu Jin had yet to notice anything amiss and was still trying to teach Qin Qi the importance of taking things slowly.
"This doesn't seem very hard?"
Qin Qi looked at his hand, which had already turned slightly white. He had just transformed the skin on his palm into qi.
"Hm? Hm!"
Looking at Qin Qi's slightly whitened hand, Lu Jin's eyes widened. He hurried forward and pressed the skin of his palm.
"You've done the first stage?"
Lu Jin looked at Qin Qi, a trace of disbelief in his eyes, and asked blankly, "You've done it already?"
"Yes. I'm pretty surprised myself. Wasn't this supposed to be hard?"
Qin Qi thought about it and figured it might be because he cultivated Magnetic Field Rotation. The essence of its power was the vibration of cells.
To do that, one needed a strong sense of and control over one's body, and those were also what Threefold Reversal required to transform the body into qi.
Qin Qi had already developed his perception and control. He had done his homework in advance!
"Maybe you're just particularly sensitive in this area. Keep going slowly, and don't let a little early success make you lower your guard."
Lu Jin had experienced this sort of thing before. Cultivation went smoothly in some areas, but was more difficult in others.
The more complex the area, the harder it was to cultivate. He felt that Qin Qi's situation now... might be the same.
[You continued cultivating. With Magnetic Field Rotation as your foundation, and since you were only cultivating the skin and flesh, there was no need to worry about serious injury.]
[You began putting your own ideas into practice. The techniques you had learned during this time, the Eight Reversal Techniques you had studied,]
[and other theories began to come together in your mind, extracted and pieced together, but one final piece of the puzzle was still missing.]
[You asked Lu Jin whether the Three-One Sect had any cultivation insights or the like, as you wanted to take a look first.]
[After thinking it over, Lu Jin took out a manual containing the cultivation insights of every member of the Three-One Sect from the past to the present.]
[Most of the annotations and explanations had been written by Zuo Ruotong. You read quickly, as your memory, comprehension, and other abilities had all improved along with your cultivation.]
[You spent three hours reading and understanding everything, and at the end you saw a sentence left by Zuo Ruotong.]
[These annotations are my cultivation insights. Those who come after me may use them to seek the road ahead, but this is not your only answer. Future disciples, remember that the road lies beneath your feet.]
[Everyone has their own path. Never blindly imitate others. -Written by Zuo Ruotong himself.]
"Master truly is Master. Even he approves of me, so I won't hold back."
Qin Qi immediately began cultivating another version of Threefold Reversal according to what he had understood.
[You no longer circulated qi in the prescribed manner. Instead, you returned to the most fundamental method of Magnetic Field Rotation, using the vibration of your cells to stimulate the energy contained within them.]
[But this time, you did not gather it together. Instead, you controlled this power to copy and paste the cells directly.]
[The energy that had come from the cells gradually took on the form of cells under the vibrations. Next, you used the power of Spin, following the Three-One Sect's method,]
[to begin merging the energy, which had already taken the form of cells, with the cells themselves. In the process, you gradually assimilated and deconstructed the cells.]
[Your cultivation of the first stage of Threefold Reversal sped up dramatically. By the end of the day, your skin and flesh had been completely transformed into qi.]
What on earth is this kid doing? Should I stop him? But he looks like he's fine?!
Watching Qin Qi's skin rapidly transform into qi, Lu Jin was both shocked and worried. Was it really all right for the transformation to happen so fast?
When his fellow disciples cultivated in the past, every one of them took ten-odd days to make a tiny bit of progress. Who else was like Qin Qi, transforming into qi at a speed visible to the naked eye?
In modern terms, other people's progress bars advanced 0.1 percent a day, while Qin Qi's advanced one percent a second!
It was like he'd bought a damn premium membership!
For a moment, Lu Jin was genuinely worried that Qin Qi would turn straight into qi and fly away!
He wanted to stop him, but he did not dare. After all, what if interrupting him made Qin Qi suffer qi deviation?
"Master, was it really all right for me to take him into the sect?!"
Once again, Lu Jin doubted his decision. The kid had excellent talent, but it seemed a little too excellent!
[At the same time, during this process, you discovered that the life energy in your body had increased, and you also discovered that the energy currently forming your body was life energy!]
"Life energy and Innate Primordial Qi are essentially the same thing, just described differently!"
"Hamon forms because people gather energy through breathing while imitating the sun's frequency, producing the golden Ripple Overdrive."
"Then isn't it the same principle if I vibrate life energy directly instead of vibrating my cells? Life Magnetic Field Rotation, activate!"
In an instant, the vibrations between Qin Qi's cells grew more violent, producing even more Hamon than when he had vibrated his cells before!
Golden, lightning-like Hamon covered his entire body, but it was not enough. He could grow even stronger!
"Magnetic Field Rotation, spin!"
Qin Qi also integrated the power of Spin into his body, putting his earlier research into the Eight Reversal Techniques to use.
As the life energy forming his skin vibrated, it also constantly spun and rubbed against itself, producing even more power.
In an instant, even the magnetic field in the valley began to be affected. Golden lightning appeared out of thin air throughout the valley!
It lasted for more than ten minutes, and only when Qin Qi had fully stabilized his current state did the phenomenon disappear.
"Phew, I did it."
Qin Qi felt the life energy still vibrating and spinning, and felt the life energy forming his skin steadily increasing.
Feeling his flesh, which had yet to be transformed into qi, growing stronger, he smiled. The wisdom of those who came before really was useful.
Learning more was the right path. How much time would he have spent fumbling around on his own?
"Old Master Lu, why is your mouth hanging open so wide? Are you going to eat someone?"
Qin Qi spoke as he looked at Lu Jin, who was beside him with his mouth wide open and his eyes seemingly bulging out of their sockets.

Chapter 46: Zuo Ruotong: Others Will Come After Me; Qin Qi: Hm, Are You Calling Me?
"No, what on earth are you doing, kid?"
"What was that golden lightning that came out of thin air just now? Just looking at it made my heart tremble and the hairs on my body stand on end!"
"And you've finished transforming your skin into qi at First Reversal?!"
Lu Jin had been practicing qi since childhood. Forget a hundred years, let's say ninety. Today, the worldview he had built up over those years had been thoroughly trampled!
Was society changing so fast now? Was he really old and unable to keep up with the times?
"Don't be nervous, Old Master Lu. It's just a little trick, nothing worth getting surprised over."
"As for transforming my skin into qi at First Reversal, I really have finished it. I have to say, a sect with a legacy spanning so many years really lives up to its reputation."
"Having a complete system makes all the difference. Compared with figuring things out on my own, learning Reversal is like standing on the shoulders of giants."
Today, Qin Qi had truly experienced what it meant for those who came before to plant trees so those who came after could enjoy the shade. This time, a big shot had carried him to new heights.
"Ah, I really don't know what to say."
Lu Jin looked at Qin Qi's slightly whitened skin. He could tell that Qin Qi really had finished transforming his skin into qi, and had done so to a very high degree.
Unparalleled talent, truly unparalleled talent. On his first day, he had cultivated First Reversal to the point of transforming his skin and flesh into qi.
Lu Jin had never seen a genius like this before. No, no such genius had ever appeared in the entire Three-One Sect since its founding!
He turned to look at the cave, feeling a little wistful. A promising talent had come to the Three-One Sect at a time like this.
He did not know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Come on, you've cultivated all day. Let's go back, have a meal, and rest for a while. When it comes to cultivation, you need to balance work and rest."
"Just practicing relentlessly and getting stuck in a dead end won't help. Rest when it's time to rest."
Lu Jin patted Qin Qi on the shoulder, forcibly suppressing his shock and trying to appear calm. He did not want his emotions to affect Qin Qi.
He then prepared to leave the valley and return to the Lu Family, but after only a few steps, he noticed something.
"Why are you still maintaining Reversal, kid? I know you're capable and talented, but there's no need to show off like this, is there?"
