Improving the Cultivation Method
I saw a semi-transparent human body on the screen generate True Qi from nothing, and the True Qi circulated and increased in the meridians, eventually converging at the Qihai acupoint, which is the location of the Dantian, before disappearing.
After one cycle, True Qi once again emanates from the Qihai acupoint, continuing to flow through the meridians.
"No. 01, based on the data in the database, will visualize the internal structure of the Dantian."
Following Yi Xuan's command, a new window popped up in the upper right corner of the screen, and a transparent sphere appeared in the window, with hazy gas flowing around the center inside the sphere.
This was exactly what a cultivator saw when they introspected their Dantian. Yi Xuan nodded in satisfaction. He then fell silent, his eyes fixed on the constantly changing data on the side of the screen.
"Master? How is it?" Although Liang Shi has made a qualitative leap in technology after half a year of training by No. 01.
But Yi Xuan's creations, which were half technology and half cultivation, still gave him a headache.
"Don't rush. You're well aware of the complexity of the human body. Although we have the computing power of No. 06 and the storage capacity of No. 05, we still can't achieve anything in human body simulation overnight."
Hearing his master's words, Liang Shi nodded, realizing that he himself had been a bit too anxious.
Yi Xuan also knew Liang Shi's feelings at this moment.
His progress in cultivating immortality was extremely slow. Although Liang Shi seemed indifferent on the surface, he was very unwilling in his heart.
Liang Shi and Yi Xuan's situations are different. Although Yi Xuan yearns for cultivating immortality, he comes from a technological world and is more curious about it.
In addition, due to his personality issues, even being identified as Rootless Person did not cause Yi Xuan to fall into a state of despair for too long.
As a native of this world, Liang Shi, after half a year of training by No. 01, has already acquired the mindset and qualities of a human in a technologically advanced world.
However, his obsession with cultivating immortality was ingrained in his bones and could not be erased. After all, he had grown up in such an environment and there was nothing he could do about it.
Now that he knows he has a chance to increase his cultivation speed, you can imagine how anxious Liang Shi is to know the result.
"Ding! First round of operation complete!"
Upon hearing the prompt from No. 01, Yi Xuan and Liang Shi's eyes lit up, and they involuntarily took a few steps closer to observe the results.
Yi Xuan didn't look at the semi-transparent human body model on the left, but instead looked at the data on the right.
Unexpectedly, the simulation results showed that at the level of an ordinary person, this Cultivation Method would only increase Liang Shi's True Qi by one-thousandth after circulating in his body for one week.
And it takes an hour to complete one cycle.
These data alone don't reveal much, but when Yi Xuan recalled his own cultivation speed when he first started, and compared it with Liang Shi's, he discovered the problem.
When Yi Xuan first started learning, each cycle of Qi only took less than ten minutes, and the increase in True Qi after each cycle was between three and five percent.
Even with Yi Xuan's astonishingly fast cultivation speed, it still took him a full year to reach the Twelfth Level of the Qi Refining Realm.
Looking at the data on the screen, Yi Xuan felt extremely fortunate. Luckily, he had put Liang Shi's cultivation issue on the agenda; otherwise, given his current cultivation speed, he might never have had the chance to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm in his lifetime.
"Do you see those red sections in the model on the left?" Yi Xuan asked, pointing out Liang Shi's confused look as he stared at the screen.
"I see, Master, is there a problem with those red areas?" Liang Shi asked, puzzled.
"Putting aside your physical aptitude, these red areas are the main reason why your cultivation is so slow!"
Yi Xuan stared at the screen for a while before speaking to Liang Shi, "Logically speaking, according to the Cultivation Method's circulation route, when True Qi circulates in the body's meridians, the body will continuously absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and earth, eventually storing it in the meridians and merging it with your original True Qi."
"But these red areas on your body not only haven't increased your overall True Qi, they've actually depleted it."
"With so many areas consuming your internal True Qi, do you think you can cultivate quickly?"
After hearing Yi Xuan's words, Liang Shi nodded in agreement.
Looking at the data on the screen, Yi Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "No. 01, import the Azure Cloud Sect's introductory Cultivation Method into the model for simulation!"
It was difficult for Yi Xuan to derive any patterns from a single simulation, so he decided to try importing the Yi Xuan Azure Cloud Sect's Cultivation Method into Liang Shi's human body model to see the results.
The results came out quickly.
The left side was still covered in dense red, but Yi Xuan discovered that this time, the amount of energy increased by 0.5 per thousand for each cycle of the Cultivation Method, and the speed of each cycle also increased by about one minute.
Although it cannot be confirmed, Yi Xuan speculated that there should be a compatibility between cultivators and Cultivation Method in the Cultivation Realm.
Cultivation Method with a high degree of compatibility can make one's cultivation twice as effective with half the effort, while the opposite is true for Liang Shi's situation.
The higher the grade of Spirit Root, the better the compatibility of that person with Cultivation Method, meaning that such a person can have a high degree of compatibility with more Cultivation Method.
Unfortunately, Yi Xuan only possessed these two Cultivation Method and was unable to verify his conjecture.
Shaking his head to clear his mind, he realized that the most important thing at hand was to solve Liang Shi's cultivation problem.
Yi Xuan planned to have No. 01 adjust the path of Liang Shi's Cultivation Practice Method, which might have unexpected effects.
"No. 01, try making ten minor adjustments to Liang Shi's Cultivation Method's path at different points, then compare the results with the previous ones and analyze the patterns."
The waiting process was long, both for Yi Xuan and Liang Shi.
"Ding, simulation complete, comparison data being generated. Congratulations, boss! Based on my analysis, adjusting the operating route is a feasible approach."
Upon hearing No. 01's answer Yi Xuan and Liang Shi exchanged a smile and asked simultaneously, "What do you think?"
"After comparison, seven out of the ten adjustment methods yielded results lower than the original data. However, three methods actually yielded results higher than the original data!"
Yi Xuan nodded. "It seems that optimizing the path is feasible!"
"Yes, boss, shall we begin iterating and optimizing the Cultivation Method now?"
Seeing Liang Shi's excited gaze, Yi Xuan nodded in agreement, while reminding him, "Remember to set boundary conditions! Everything must ensure Liang Shi's health; no plan that could harm his body is allowed!"
"Understood, boss!"
As Yi Xuan gave the order, various data began to scroll rapidly across the screen, and Yi Xuan turned and left the room.
Liang Shi stared at the screen for a while, then felt his eyes getting dry and left the room.
