Chapter 255 First Cultivation: The Limit of the Ordinary First Realm! Has there ever been a cultivator? Method Rank!

Crystal pine cones!

This is a very mysterious event.

I closed my eyes and visualized a pine cone, and a 'crystal pine cone' actually appeared in my mind, with even more detailed images appearing out of thin air!

...This is the first time that I have done something 'close to the extraordinary' by completely breaking away from the control panel.

Qin Fang felt a sense of wonder he had never experienced before.

He could previously escape into the void, teleport, become invisible, cleave through the void, and even enter another world...

But all of this 'extraordinary' has one prerequisite: it is all achieved through the control panel.

For him personally, it was simply a matter of issuing a command in his mind.

And then... it was done.

I don't know why.

They had no idea why.

But this time is different.

Instead of using the control panel, he meditated and visualized on his own, and as a result, this mysterious thing happened.

Sensory experience and control via a panel are two completely different concepts!

This made Qin Fang's eyes widen for a moment, and a magical and novel feeling welled up in his heart.

He tried his best to keep himself from overthinking and continued to refine the details of the crystal pine cone.

At the same time, he also felt a completely different sensation than before.

"It's amazing. If it were before, with such chaotic thoughts in my mind, my breathing would have been disordered, my mind would have been blank, and I would have been unable to continue meditating."

"But after this crystal pine cone appeared, I occasionally drifted off, but my breathing remained steady. Even now, with my thoughts in disarray, I don't feel particularly uncomfortable..."

"This visualization method actually works?"

My restless mind started wandering again.

However, with the appearance of the crystal pine cone, the restless 'mind monkey' did not make Qin Fang feel uncomfortable at all, and he remained in a seated state.

Just as he was feeling a sense of wonder...

"Wait a minute... what is this power?"

Suddenly, Qin Fang discovered that an indescribable power had appeared beside him at some unknown time.

That power was omnipresent, enveloping his entire being and slowly flowing into his body.

This is……

"Source energy?!"

His heart suddenly pounded.

"I really felt it!"

He felt that the slow energy, flowing through the Baihui acupoint, slowly entered his body, like a gentle infusion.

At this moment, his mind was completely clear. After that power slowly flowed into his body, an indescribable sense of comfort instantly swept over Qin Fang's entire body.

"ah……"

He felt a shiver run through his body.

This energy entered his body and was absorbed by his cells, causing them to undergo tremendous changes. Even the DNA blueprint began to show extremely subtle changes. As the energy increased, the cells began to divide...

evolution!

Qin Fang instinctively sensed that this was a kind of evolution!

This shocked him.

It's important to understand that biological evolution is generally an extremely slow process that takes hundreds of millions of years.

But now, with the blessing of this mysterious energy, his 'evolution' has been accelerated to a speed that he can perceive...

This is an evolutionary speed that is billions of times faster than that of normal organisms!

"Is the first step in sensing source energy really this terrifying?!"

Qin Fang was completely shocked.

Nourished by this energy, his body is undergoing tremendous changes.

Bones, fascia, muscles, skin...

Under the influence of this force, everything is changing quietly and steadily.

After a brief moment of shock, Qin Fang reaffirmed his resolve.

"The job panel has already appeared, so what's so unacceptable about that? According to the description in the Source Energy Cultivation Method, the first time you absorb Source Energy, the effect is usually the greatest... Absorb!"

Qin Fang gradually suppressed his shock, took a deep breath, and began to 'depict the pine cone' with even greater care.

Gradually, the crystal pine cone in his mind began to shine brightly.

And his body, nourished by this invisible energy, underwent further evolution.

...

Time passed little by little.

One hour.

Two hours...

I don't know how much time has passed.

Qin Fang was completely captivated by this intoxicating state.

"So comfortable."

"This is true meditation!"

He completely forgot about the outside world; the crystal pine cone in his mind seemed to have become real, and he could 'see' it even with his eyes closed.

Nourished by this energy, cells divide themselves, becoming smaller, but bone and muscle density increase significantly.

Qin Fang was unaware that his weight was also starting to increase.

...This is true evolution of flesh and blood.

It is completely different from the puppet body that is replaced when you awaken your profession.

A puppet body, devoid of pain and without vital organs.

But at the same time, it also makes people 'numb'.

But at this moment, Qin Fang felt more 'sharp' than ever before. Every part of his body was under his control.

This feeling of 'being in control of oneself' is far more novel than doing extraordinary things through a panel.

Because Qin Fang could truly feel... that this power belonged to him!

...

I don't know how much time has passed.

Suddenly, the external forces stopped flowing into his body.

"Hmm? Is this... being 'full'?"

Qin Fang naturally felt a sense of 'fullness'.

The cells, infused with this force, have become completely saturated.

So he naturally opened his eyes.

He hasn't said anything yet.

Old Rabbit's voice rang out right in front of him.

"I didn't expect you to be able to realize the visualization method on your own... Very good."

Qin Fang was startled and subconsciously looked up.

Then they saw the old rabbit with cloudy eyes standing at the door of the mushroom house.

Its cloudy eyes looked Qin Fang up and down, then nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, on your first attempt at cultivation, you've directly reached the limit of the ordinary 'Open Source Realm'... Your aptitude is better than I imagined."

Qin Fang was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Open Source Realm?"

"Open Source Realm is the name of a realm that truly leads to the path of cultivation. As the name suggests, it means 'opening up source energy,' and it is the first realm on the true path of cultivation."

Old Rabbit looked at Qin Fang with satisfaction and then said, "Let's tidy up. There's crystal outside the house."

Qin Fang was stunned for a moment, but soon he smelled a fishy stench. He looked down and was immediately startled...

On his skin, there was a sticky layer of red and black filth!

"These are dead cells expelled from your body... Once you successfully enter the Open Source Realm, you will enter a rapid and long evolutionary process. During this process, many genes that are not beneficial to you will be gradually eliminated. Cells are growing and dying... Go cleanse yourself first."

After giving a brief explanation, Old Rabbit spoke again.

Qin Fang nodded and got up.

And with that movement, he immediately sensed something different from before...

My body is so light and agile!

And it is also full of power.

As soon as I clenched my fists slightly, I felt an explosive force gathering in my palms, as if it were about to burst!

At the same time, the body felt very light and agile, as if the hands and legs were equipped with springs!

This made his movements as he stood up somewhat strange, as if he were about to jump up.

"You've gone from an ordinary being to the limit of the ordinary 'Open Source Realm,' and the increase in power will make you feel this sense of loss of control... This is normal. Don't worry, take your time, and I will teach you how to control these powers later."

Old Rabbit looked at Qin Fang's surprised expression and said with a smile.

"Go wash up, and come find me when you're done."

After saying this, the old rabbit put his hands behind his back and left with a hunched back.

Qin Fang snapped out of his daze and looked at his body with curiosity.

strength……

Your own power!

He could even feel a power within his body that was different from the energy in his muscles.

This feeling...

It's amazing.

After sensing it for a moment, Qin Fang suddenly sniffed and then immediately covered his mouth and nose.

It stinks!

Go wash up quickly!

Qin Fang hurriedly went outside and looked around. Sure enough, he saw a well not far from the door, with buckets and other things beside it...

He ran over to fetch water.

result……

A full bucket of water felt lighter in his hands than an empty bucket!

When I pulled it with a little force, the bucket actually flew up!

Fortunately, Qin Fang caught it in a flurry of activity... otherwise, this 'bucket' that looked like an 'empty mushroom' would have been destroyed!

"It really is..."

Qin Fang clicked his tongue.

It does feel strange to have such a sudden and excessive increase in strength.

After fetching water and returning to the house, Qin Fang looked around but couldn't find any soap or similar items.

Fortunately... this didn't stump him.

He went straight into the modern office and exchanged his money for soap and shampoo.

...He had also traveled around Earth before, playing various games.

But since it's a puppet body, it doesn't even sweat, so there's no need to prepare things like soap.

Fortunately, in modern office settings, you can use reputation to buy almost any daily necessity.

It requires a very high amount of reputation to manifest in the real world.

For example, he can materialize the tea in the 'Upside-Down Cloud Realm' into the real world.

But that's too expensive, almost a hundred times more expensive than the actual scene.

Tea worth 50 reputation points, when manifested in the mortal realm, grants 5,000 reputation points...

The soap and shampoo he currently holds represent 100 reputation points and 200 reputation points respectively...

However, a few hundred reputation points are nothing to Qin Fang now.

He quickly began to clean himself.

In the process, I am also constantly getting to know my own strength...

...

Half an hour later, Qin Fang, freshly washed, went out and arrived at Old Rabbit's house.

The little rabbits at the door saw him and swarmed over, chattering excitedly around him.

Qin Fang was in a good mood, and with a smile, he patted each head one by one.

"village head."

Then they went into Old Rabbit's house.

"You've arrived." Old Rabbit looked up at him, then smiled and nodded: "Sit down."

Qin Fang nodded and sat down on the familiar small stool.

She looked Qin Fang up and down before smiling and asking, "Are there cultivators in your hometown too?"

Qin Fang was taken aback: "Hometown? Cultivator?"

"I noticed that you used visualization techniques during your previous practice, right?"

Old Rabbit immediately saw through Qin Fang's method.

Qin Fang was taken aback for a moment, somewhat surprised: "How did you know?"

"Sensing the source energy is the most difficult step in the early stages of cultivation. Without guidance, it's normal to not be able to get started for one or two years. There are many ways to be guided, including 'visualization'... which is the method you use. There is also 'guided method,' where someone who has already cultivated helps you feel the essence of the source energy, thus quickly getting started. There is also 'pool-guarding method'... and so on, and so on."

Old Rabbit looked at Qin Fang and said, "But the Myriad Realms Battle Domain requires us guides to only help when the guided need it... For example, if you want to comprehend source energy, you need to explore and find a way yourself first. If you really can't succeed, then come to me, and I can tell you the solution..."

It paused here, then looked at Qin Fang and said, "You were able to find a way to solve it yourself... which means you've encountered similar methods before. Otherwise, you wouldn't have thought of using visualization to suppress the Mind Monkey and thus sense the location of the Source Energy."

"That's why I said... there have been cultivators in your world, right? You even came into contact with them..."

Qin Fang was stunned.

Practitioners...

Does religion count?

Taoism, Buddhism... both have the concept of entering samadhi through meditation.

Or rather, as a Chinese person... it seems that I have had similar understandings about meditation and entering a meditative state since childhood.

It doesn't necessarily mean that the concept came from Taoism or Buddhism.

In fact, 'sitting quietly' and 'calming the mind' have always been one of the traditions pursued by the ancient Chinese.

When drinking tea, one should cultivate a tranquil mind. When writing calligraphy, one should cultivate a tranquil mind. When offering sacrifices to ancestors or to heaven... in fact, any ritual with a sense of ceremony requires a tranquil mind.

Even for important matters, one must burn incense, bathe, meditate, and calm the mind before undertaking them.

And practitioners...

Wait a moment.

A spiritual practitioner?

The various myths and legends of ancient China...

Qin Fang's thoughts drifted for a moment, his expression one of astonishment, and he stared blankly.

After a long while, he swallowed hard.

"...There are some legends about them. But whether they are actually cultivators... I don't know. At least, I've never seen one..."

He looked at the old rabbit.

Old Rabbit raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "That's normal. Cultivators usually don't stay in their original world after reaching a certain level of cultivation; they have higher pursuits..."

"Where will they go?" Qin Fang couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know where they go before the Myriad Races Battle Domain descends. But after the Myriad Races Battle Domain descends, they will almost always go to the Land of Fallen Boundaries... or even higher worlds."

The old rabbit thought for a moment and then answered.

Qin Fang was somewhat dazed.

The thoughts in his mind made his body tremble slightly.

"However... well, that has nothing to do with what we're talking about now. I was just asking out of curiosity."

The old rabbit noticed that Qin Fang seemed to have thought of something that horrified him. It frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's talk about what you're going to do next."

Qin Fang snapped out of his daze, suppressed the jumbled thoughts in his mind, took a deep breath, and nodded.

"Yes, please go ahead."

“As I just said, you entered a meditative state once and already possessed the strength of the ordinary ‘Open Source Realm’ limit. But I used the word ‘ordinary’ here, did you notice?”

Old Rabbit squinted at Qin Fang and asked.

Qin Fang snapped out of his reverie and nodded: "Yes, I noticed. So... there are also 'unusual' ones?"

“I told you before… the ‘Source Energy Cultivation Method’ I’m now passing on to you is just the most basic method. Naturally, the source energy you can obtain is very limited. Or rather… under the most basic ‘Source Energy Cultivation Method,’ your physical evolution is limited.”

"The Myriad Races Battle Domain aims to cultivate more powerful individuals on the path of laws, and naturally, it will provide you with channels to acquire more powerful cultivation methods. These powerful and advanced cultivation methods can increase the limit of source energy your body can withstand..."

"Simply put, if you consider the source energy in your body right now as '1' unit, then practicing advanced source energy cultivation techniques can make the source energy in your body become '2' units, '3' units... even '10' units, '100' units... or even more."

"Everyone who is guided has the opportunity to obtain this method... but you need to work hard yourself."

Old Rabbit's words completely banished Qin Fang's chaotic thoughts.

His eyes widened.

He now feels incredibly powerful.

And this is only '1 unit'?

Powerful cultivation methods could allow him to obtain '2 units,' '3 units'... or even hundreds of units?!

Qin Fang's breathing became labored.

...How strong must that be?!

"You can take a look at your panel first and see if there are any differences compared to before."

Old Rabbit suddenly said something else.

Qin Fang was stunned, and then subconsciously looked at his panel.

Upon closer inspection, however, one is somewhat stunned...
