Chapter 2: Reborn, Skill Upgrade

[Zixia Health-preserving Skills: Proficient 1/500]

[Effect: Increase lifespan by 10 years, increase upper limit of spiritual power by 500 points]

[Current experience value: 850]

Although the skilled level Zixia Health Preserving Exercises did not improve his cultivation, his spiritual root aptitude did not reach the middle level.

But the clear and refreshed feeling in his body made Lu Chen feel the change all of a sudden.

When Lu Chen looked at his panel, he quickly understood what the skilled level Zixia Health Preserving Technique had brought him.

[Cultivation: Qi training stage second level (2150/10500)]

"The upper limit of my spiritual power has increased by 500 points. It seems that my spiritual root aptitude has indeed improved."

The manifestation of spiritual root qualifications is not entirely in terms of affinity with spiritual power.

Different spiritual root qualifications also have differences in the upper limit of spiritual power.

The Immortal Alliance has made a summary of this.

Low grade one, medium grade two, high grade five, top grade ten.

The so-called 'one, two, five, and ten' refers to the differences in spiritual power absorption and spiritual power upper limit among the qualities of various spiritual roots.

If the spiritual power limit of the lower-grade spiritual roots during the Qi training stage is '10,000' points.

Then the middle-grade spiritual roots are '12000' points, the high-grade spiritual roots are '15000' points, and the best-grade spiritual roots are at least '20000' points, with no upper limit.

This gap will widen exponentially as the realm improves.

This is also the reason why Lu Chen did not rush to use the experience points to improve his cultivation, but instead used them to improve the 'Zixia Health Preserving Technique'.

Between improving current strength or improving future potential, Lu Chen decisively chose the latter.

With the existence of "True Cultivation of Immortality", he does not need to rush to improve his cultivation like others, or go out to gain experience and search for resources.

He just needs to practice step by step.

Steady is a character ingrained in Lu Chen's bones.

A dead genius is not a genius. A living genius has a future! Looking at the remaining 850 experience points, Lu Chen decisively used 500 of them on the Zixia Health Preservation Exercise.

[You consumed 500 experience points, and Zixia Health-preserving Skill was upgraded to 'Mastery']

[Zixia Health-preserving Technique: Mastery 1/1500]

[Effect: Increase lifespan by 30 years, increase upper limit of spiritual power by 1500 points]

[Current experience value: 350]

The mastery level of Zixia Health Preserving Technique once again brought a significant improvement to Lu Chen's spiritual root aptitude.

It also made him pay more attention to the special game in his hands.

After all, even if he had several times more time to practice than ordinary people, it would still take him about a hundred days to practice the Zixia Health Preserving Exercise step by step to perfection and comprehend the Zixia Divine Light.

But with the existence of experience points, this time has undoubtedly been shortened a lot.

If "Real Cultivation of Immortality" did not have a resurrection mechanism, Lu Chen would have to take every step very carefully.

Then his strength can improve even faster.

After all, Lu Chen didn't dare to bet that if his in-game self died, something would happen to his real self.

Even if he was fine in real life, without the help of "Real Cultivation of Immortality", he would be no different from being dead.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but think of Qingyun Sect's other sect missions.

There are many ways to gain experience points in "Real Cultivation of Immortality", including but not limited to completing tasks, killing wild monsters, daily practice, etc.

All of these can earn valuable experience points, the only difference is the amount.

In addition to the initial novice tasks, there is also a sect task.

Lu Chen's task of growing spiritual rice is actually a kind of sect mission.

This task is not difficult and there is plenty of free time, which allows the menial disciples to take time out to practice.

But this also made Lu Chen think of other directions.

"Generally, menial disciples need to practice to improve their cultivation, but I can just rely on experience points."

"This part of the training time in the game can be saved and used to complete various tasks to gain experience points."

"Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Once the spiritual root aptitude is improved, cultivation will undoubtedly be more efficient."

After sorting out the direction, Lu Chen immediately controlled the game character to come to the mission hall of Qingyun Sect.

He first handed over half of the spiritual rice to the sect, completing the basic "spiritual rice planting task".

Received the rewards of '10 low-grade spirit stones' and '100 experience points'.

Novice tasks and sect tasks are separate.

Therefore, Lu Chen killed two birds with one stone this time and gained additional mission rewards.

It’s a pity that the novice mission cannot be completed repeatedly, so Lu Chen can only enjoy the discount this time.

[Current experience value: 450]

In the mission hall, Lu Chen looked at the densely packed sect missions on the list and began to choose the ones that suited him.

The sect's missions are similar, some require going down the mountain to eliminate monsters, and some require planting special spiritual herbs and medicines.

Others help the disciples in the sect to complete some tasks.

Lu Chen would never take on the mission of going down the mountain to eliminate monsters.

Although the rewards for this type of mission are very generous, the risks are also very high.

But Lu Chen would never take any risk.

He must ensure his own safety in the game as much as possible.

After removing this type of task, there are not many optional tasks left in the task hall.

After careful selection, Lu Chen finally received a pretty good task.

[Task: Deliver Qingxuan firewood to Danyang Peak (recyclable)]

[Requirement: 100 Qingxuan firewood/time]

[Task Reward: 1 low-grade spirit stone, 10 experience points]

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although the rewards for this task are average and it takes a lot of time.

But it is safe and can be completed repeatedly.

It meets Lu Chen's current requirements.

"Okay, that's it."

After making the decision, Lu Chen decisively accepted the task and controlled the character to go to the Qingxuan Forest outside the gate.

When you arrive at the Qingxuan Forest, you will see a large number of dark green trees, like a steel jungle.

Lu Chen selected a piece of Qingxuan wood and used the "Sharpness Technique" on the axe in his hand. After strengthening the sharpness of the axe, he chopped the Qingxuan wood in front of him with the axe.

Ten minutes later...

Lu Chen looked at Qingxuanmu, whose health bar barely changed, and the little man who had to stop and rest after every few cuts.

I finally understood that most of the menial disciples would not choose to take this task.

Because this task is too time-consuming and physically demanding! For ordinary menial disciples, it is difficult for them to even damage Qingxuan wood, let alone cut down trees.

According to the current progress, if he wanted to cut down a Qingxuan tree and split it into the Qingxuan firewood that Danyang Peak wanted.

Maybe it will take two or three game days.

In other words, it takes him two to three game days to get '10 experience points'.

This progress was undoubtedly unacceptable to him.

You know, for this mission, he gave up his daily practice time.

And his game character can gain about 5 experience points after practicing normally for one game day.

The experience points gained from completing tasks are not as good as the experience points gained from daily practice.

So why did he accept this mission? Putting the cart before the horse.

"We can't go on like this. The efficiency is too low."

"I either have to give up this mission or find a way to improve my logging efficiency..."

After some thought, Lu Chen looked at the only two spells he currently mastered, the Sharpness Spell.

At first, he wanted to save up all his experience points and use them all on the Zixia Health Preserving Exercise.

But now it seems that he may have to make some changes.

[You have consumed 95 experience points, and your proficiency in Sharpness has been raised to 'Mastery']

[Sharpness: Mastery 1/500]

[Effect: After casting, the sharpness of the weapon can be greatly improved]

[Current experience value: 355]

After raising the skill level of Sharpness to 'Mastery', Lu Chen used the axe in his hand again.

With the support of the super high picture quality of "Real Cultivation of Immortality", Lu Chen could even see the cold light flowing on the axe.

With a little expectation, Lu Chen controlled the game character and chopped the Qingxuan wood with an axe.

Bang! With a crisp metallic collision sound, Lu Chen was surprised to find that the health bar on the Qingxuan wood had changed.

The efficiency has been improved compared to what was visible to the naked eye just now.

In this way, he might be able to complete a firewood delivery mission once a game day.

That is, you get '10 experience points' in one game day.

In addition, he could gain some experience points when he meditated at night to restore his spiritual power and when he took care of the spiritual fields.

All in all, he can now gain an astonishing '15 experience points' per game day.

According to this progress, he would be able to upgrade Zixia Health Preserving Technique to the 'Great Completion' level in 100 game days at the latest, which is ten days in reality.

This made Lu Chen once again feel the terrifying improvement that the game "Real Cultivation of Immortality" had brought to him.

"There is still half a month before school starts, and half a month is enough time for me to be reborn."

Three years to build the foundation, five years to make the golden elixir, everything... is just around the corner! (End of this chapter)
