Chapter 182

Thirdly: So far, everything has been reset, but my cultivation level hasn't been reset. Why is that? Is it possible for me to preserve other things so they won't be reset?

fourth...

Wang Teng wrote more than a dozen points before he was done.

For the next period of time, in addition to his cultivation, Wang Teng also had to set aside time each day to record his discoveries.

Things like interpersonal relationships, certain people's secrets, and bugs in the world reset...

And so, 360 days passed, equivalent to a year in the Tianxuan Continent.

Thanks to the time reset, Wang Teng's cultivation doesn't lack resources, because the resources and contributions he has used will be reset after midnight.

This means Wang Teng possesses countless cultivation resources equivalent to 1600 merit points.

However, these resources are becoming increasingly insufficient.

Wang Teng's current cultivation level is the eleventh level of the Body Tempering Stage, and the pills and medicinal liquids Wang Teng can use now have almost no effect on him.

In other words, it's impossible for Wang Teng to break through to the Twelfth Layer of the Body Tempering Stage using the resources he can obtain with these merit points.

Theoretically, one can cultivate indefinitely during the Body Tempering Stage. However, due to the consumption of cultivation resources, most people will start gathering Qi after reaching the ninth level of Body Tempering.

Wang Teng himself was no exception in this regard.

The Wang Family Willow City is not a particularly large family. There are only three ancestors in the family who have reached the Core Forging Stage, one of whom serves as an outer elder in the Spirit Beast Sect.

This is one of the reasons why Wang Teng was able to cultivate here; to some extent, the Wang Family is a subordinate of the Spirit Beast Sect.

If the Wang Family produces some outstanding talents, Wang Family will recommend them to the Spirit Beast Sect. The sect naturally has no reason to refuse, as this is a mutually beneficial thing.

The Wang Family hopes to leverage the power of the Spirit Beast Sect to cultivate their own descendants into talented individuals, while the Spirit Beast Sect also needs outstanding new blood.

The two were arm in arm, like thunder igniting fire, dry tinder meeting a raging flame, a lustful woman meeting...

The first nine levels of the Body Tempering Stage grant an additional 100 jin of strength for each breakthrough, but the Tenth Layer to the Twelfth levels grant an additional 1,000 jin of strength for each breakthrough.

In addition, it will have many benefits for future cultivation, such as the speed of Qi Refining and sensitivity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth...

In short, it is universally acknowledged that the higher the level of Body Tempering Stage cultivation is before entering the Qi Gathering Stage, the better, as it will allow one to go further in the future.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the cultivation level in the Body Tempering Stage is fixed after the Qi Gathering Stage and that one can no longer cultivate.

That's not the case.

Once one's cultivation level is high enough, one can still go back and continue to train the body, thereby nourishing one's Qi Refining realm.

As far as Wang Teng knew, many powerful figures at the Core Realm and even the God Realm had done just that.

Furthermore, the future benefits of having a high level of Body Tempering Stage before Qi Gathering are definitely much better than those veterans who have to start from scratch.

As for the shady dealings involved, that was beyond Wang Teng Wang Teng's knowledge, because he had heard that core disciples of top-tier forces all did the same thing.

Those extremely talented geniuses usually have their Qi channels sealed by sect elders. This is to prevent them from rushing to sense Qi after reaching the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage. Only when they reach a bottleneck or their body tempering reaches a certain level will the sect release the restriction to allow them to sense Qi and break through to the Qi Gathering Stage.

The Wang Family, to which Wang Teng belongs, is also home to a very small number of geniuses who only begin to gather Qi after reaching the tenth level of the Body Tempering Stage.

Of course, this is generally limited to the tenth level. In the more than three hundred years of the Wang Family's history, no more than ten people have started to sense Qi after the eleventh level. As for the twelfth level, zero people have started to sense Qi.

Talent is secondary; this is an old family with over 300 years of history, so it's not uncommon for them to produce a few prodigies. But the Wang Family simply can't afford to support them.

The resources consumed from the ninth to the tenth level of the Body Tempering Stage are enough to cultivate a Qi Refining Stage cultivator; the resources consumed from the tenth to the eleventh level are enough to cultivate a Liquid Condensation Stage cultivator; and the resources consumed from the eleventh to the twelfth level are enough to allow the Wang Family to produce another Core Forging Stage ancestor.

Even if the Wang Family could afford to provide these resources, they wouldn't be so wasteful.

Wang Teng's current Body Tempering Stage stage is enough to be included in the history of the Wang Family.

After all, there have only been a handful of people in the history of the Zhongwang Wang Family who have reached this level.

With his body tempering at level eleven, Wang Teng currently possesses a strength of approximately three thousand jin, placing him at around level seven of the Qi Gathering Stage. If he can break through to level twelfth, his strength should reach the ceiling of the Qi Gathering Stage.

This is why only powerful factions have disciples who reach the twelfth level of Body Tempering; it's simply too wasteful.

The resources that would have been enough to cultivate a Core Forging Stage expert were used to cultivate a potential genius whose strength was not even as good as that of an early Qi Refining Qi Refining.

This is something that most families can't afford to do.

With only eleven levels of Body Tempering, Wang Teng's combat strength is only around seven levels of Qi Gathering. He hasn't recovered to his peak level of nine levels of Qi Gathering yet, so he doesn't have the right to act recklessly now.

Therefore, Wang Teng did not intend to acquire resources himself, but rather to borrow them.

There are essentially two ways to acquire resources: acquire them yourself or acquire them from others.

Gathering resources yourself is either time-consuming or extremely dangerous. Although you can recover from any injury after time resets, I haven't tried it yet and seen if it might kill you.

Wang Teng didn't want to risk his life; if it didn't work, he'd be dead.

Therefore, Wang Teng could only obtain resources from others, namely loan sharks and his own clansmen.

In the Wang Family the Spirit Beast Sect, besides an elder at the Core Forging Stage, there are more than a dozen clansmen at the Liquid Condensation Stage. In Wang Teng's region, there is a clan uncle at the Liquid Condensation Stage serving as an outer sect steward.

After the Wang Family arrive at the Spirit Beast Sect, they will use various connections to bring them together, making it easier to manage and care for these newborn seedlings.

Wang Teng's mountain peak had thirteen clansmen at the Qi Gathering Stage, including himself, all of whom were under the care of his uncle, who was at the Liquid Condensation Stage.

Soon, Wang Teng arrived at the place where his clansman uncle was.

Wang Teng: "Disciple Wang Teng greets the venerable sir."

Wang Lin: "There's no one else here, just call me Uncle Lin."

Wang Teng: "Okay, Uncle Lin."

Wang Lin: "You came to see me, are you in trouble?"

Wang Teng smiled shyly, "This disciple suddenly urgently needs a large amount of contribution points, so..."

Wang Lin smiled slightly, said nothing, and simply asked, "How much do you want?"

Wang Teng held up one finger and asked cautiously, "Ten thousand~ Is that okay?"

Wang Lin stared at Wang Teng for a long time before saying, "Why do you suddenly want so many contributions?"

Wang Teng cautiously replied, "Uncle Lin, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

After a moment's thought, Wang Lin transferred the 10,000 contribution points that Wang Teng needed to him.

"Your talent is quite good. If nothing unexpected happens, you have a very high chance of advancing to the Liquid Condensation Stage, and even the Core Forging Stage is not impossible. You are a renowned genius of the Wang Family. The future world belongs to you young people. The family will do everything in its power to provide you with the necessary resources. Go back and cultivate diligently."

"Don't worry, Uncle Lin, Wang Teng understands."

On the other hand, there's loan sharking.

"Oh, you're from the Wang Family, coming here to borrow money? Do your clans know about this?"

Wang Teng: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Hehe, no, no. How much do you want to borrow?"

Wang Teng: "How much can I borrow?"

"Let's calculate. You're at the ninth level of Qi Gathering, so you can borrow six thousand. You're sixteen, so I'll give you another three thousand. And since you're from the Wang Family, I can give you another three thousand. You can borrow a total of twelve thousand. As for the interest, since you've come to me, I probably don't need to explain it further, right?"

Wang Teng: "I understand the rules, can I add a little more?"

"Brother, that's the rule. I've already given you a considerable bonus because you're a member of the Wang Family. However, it's not impossible to get a little more, unless your Wang Family can vouch for you."

Wang Teng: "No need, that's fine."

The lender chuckled, clearly having guessed that Wang Teng had come to borrow money at exorbitant interest rates without informing his clan. However, since he dared to come, he dared to lend to him as well. The Wang Family family was nothing; they couldn't protect him.

If Wang Teng fails to repay the loan by the due date, these loan sharks will definitely not let Wang Teng, and even the Wang Family will be implicated and suffer losses.

Without considerable strength and powerful backing, how could someone dare to lend money within the Spirit Beast Sect?

"In that case, let's sign this contract."

Without wasting any words, Wang Teng immediately signed his name on the contract.

"Hey bro, remember to pay it back on time, the interest is going up every day."

return?

You're overthinking it. Wang Teng has no intention of paying you back. Not only will he not pay you back, he'll come back to borrow from you again tomorrow. Anyway, once midnight passes, you won't remember anything.

You idiot.

And so, Wang Teng scoured the entire Spirit Beast Sect, visiting three loan sharks. With the 10,000 contribution points he got from Uncle Lin, plus his own 1,600, Wang Teng now had nearly 50,000 contribution points.

This is a huge sum of money; even some disciples at the Liquid Condensation Stage might not be as wealthy as Wang Teng.

Next came the shopping spree: High-grade Body Tempering Liquid, Body Building Pill, White Bone Flower, and more...

After Wang Teng spent all his contribution points, most of the day had passed. With limited time remaining, he needed to hurry up and cultivate.

It was exhilarating! The feeling of rapidly increasing strength was simply too wonderful. At this rate, Wang Teng felt that he should be able to break through to the Twelfth Layer of the Body Tempering Stage in less than two months.

Even if one cultivates until midnight, only one-third of the resources are consumed.

Wang Teng Wang Teng wasn't surprised by this; what he did yesterday was mainly to find out how many contribution points he could get.

In fact, 20,000 contribution points would have been enough for him. Wang Teng just wanted to test his limits and conduct some research to re-plan based on the time he spent using various resources.

The pills and medicinal liquids that Wang Teng used before were used up in one or two hours. This was the first time he had used these high-grade products, and Wang Teng didn't know how long it would take him to finish them.

However, I now have a sense of proportion and can make full and reasonable use of my time and resources.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another two months have passed.

Wang Teng has successfully broken through to the twelfth level of Body Tempering.

However, Wang Teng did not intend to gather his Qi at this moment, because Wang Teng could feel that his Body Tempering Stage cultivation had not yet reached its limit.

If possible, Wang Teng wanted to try to break through to the thirteenth level.

Reaching level 12 of Body Tempering is achievable with sufficient resources, but level 13 is a different story.

Not only do you need resources, but you also need qualifications and opportunities; otherwise, no matter how much you accumulate, it won't be of any use.

B is a threshold; once you cross it, your potential, strength, and future will all be further enhanced.

If you can't get past that hurdle, you'll never break through, even if you die.

This is why most core disciples of major powers only reach the twelfth level of Qi Gathering; it's not that their sects no longer provide them with resources, but rather that it's simply too difficult.

Getting from the twelfth to the thirteenth floor depends on luck.

Generally, core disciples have one to two years to look for so-called opportunities. If they cannot break through to the thirteenth level, they should hurry up and gather their Qi. Don't waste your time and resources on this, it's not worth it.

History teaches these so-called prodigies not to be obsessed with the so-called thirteenth level of the Body Tempering Stage. Otherwise, they will waste too much time on it, and what could have been a higher level will be exhausted because of the time wasted, turning them from a prodigy into an ordinary genius or even worse than an average person.

Three more months have passed, and Wang Teng has already felt the bottleneck of the so-called thirteenth level of the Body Tempering Stage.

No matter how many pills and elixirs Wang Teng uses, he can't feel any increase in strength. Wang Teng knows very well that he has reached his limit and needs to find a so-called opportunity.

However, Wang Teng Wang Teng did not intend to waste too much time on it. His goal was to break through the thirteenth level of Body Tempering within a year. If he could not break through the thirteenth level of Body Tempering within a year, he would start gathering Qi and enter the Qi Gathering Stage.

Wang Teng's current strength at the Twelfth Layer of the Body Tempering Stage has surpassed that of the original Qi Gathering stage at the ninth level. He already has a certain ability to protect himself. As long as he doesn't perish in the future, there is a high probability that he will break through to the Core Forging Stage, and a small probability that he will step into the Golden Core Stage. The God Realm is not impossible.

With my cultivation at the Twelfth Layer of the Body Tempering Stage, it's time for me to go out and see the world.

He was practically invincible below the Qi Refining Stage, but that was only because he lacked combat experience. Otherwise, he wouldn't be without fighting power at the Qi Refining Stage, though he could only exchange a few blows; he definitely wouldn't win.

During this nearly one and a half years, although Wang Teng cultivated Tenten, he did not spend much time on it, averaging only one to two hours a day. The rest of the time, apart from eating and sleeping, he would either walk around here or go for a stroll there.

Although he went out for walks Tenten, Wang Teng was still going crazy from being cooped up. Even though Wang Teng was a homebody, this damned Tianxuan Continent had neither internet, nor Wi-Fi, nor any stupid netizens.

Damn it, who could stay home like this?

Wang Teng Wang Teng had visited the Spirit Beast Sect countless times. At first, he was quite excited, but after a while, he became numb to it. Now, Wang Teng was completely bored, and everything had become utterly tasteless.

Every day is the same, the same thing over and over again.
