......

Three hours later, Chen Yi left the quiet room and returned to his dormitory.

We are now in the stage of "Refining the Dao Heart and Examining Myself Three Times a Day".

After tempering his Dao heart, he couldn't wait to open the panel.

Skill level 0 - Proficiency 57/100 (+5)

Body Tempering Lv.0 - Proficiency 70/100 (+10)

Dao Heart lv.1 - Proficiency 125/200 (+5)

Movement Technique lv.0 - Proficiency 28/100 (+8)

The Six Arts (Expanded)

Alchemy lv.0 - Proficiency 0/100

Crafting level 0 - Proficiency 0/100

Talisman lv.1 - Proficiency 136/200 (+6)

Formation lv.0 - Proficiency 6/100

Beast Taming lv.0 - Proficiency 72/100 (+2)

Spell Level 1 - Proficiency 120/200

The improvements made throughout the day are immediately apparent.

The biggest boost is to body tempering, which increases proficiency by 10 points.

This is all thanks to the introduction to the "Rock-Solid Body Strengthening Technique".

I believe that once I start practicing the "Qi and Blood Furnace Secret Technique" tomorrow, my Body Tempering skill will have a chance to reach level 1.

Moreover, regarding beast control, the initial success made the Crimson Flame Sparrow extremely wary of Chen Yi, and it almost always attacked without hesitation, not giving him a chance to get close.

So after a whole lesson on beast driving today, my beast driving proficiency didn't increase much.

At this rate, it will probably take more than half a month for to reach level 1.

Fortunately, he has already come up with a solution.

The best course of action is to master the "Qi and Blood Furnace Secret Technique" as soon as possible!

Once this secret technique is mastered, one's Qi and blood become as vigorous as a furnace, impervious to heat and cold, possessing extremely strong resistance to poisonous miasma and evil spirits, and accelerating the recovery of magical power.

The fact that he is immune to both heat and cold greatly enhances his resistance to the burning of the Crimson Flame Sparrow.

At that time, I will have plenty of opportunities to improve my proficiency!

[Warning: It's time for your wash-up/grooming routine. Please do so immediately!]

Chen Yi hurriedly ran to the sink.

He hadn't forgotten that his sleep time had been reduced.

If I wash up quickly, I can sleep a few more minutes...

Five minutes later, he was already lying in bed.

I still fall asleep instantly.

There was no way around it; the daily schedule had been nonstop, and he was already exhausted.

......

[Warning: Sleep time is over. Please get up immediately!]

Chen Yi rubbed his eyes and yawned.

He couldn't even feel the existence of sleep; it was as if he closed his eyes and then opened them again, and it was time to get up.

He glanced at the time; it was 2:30 in the morning.

I thought getting up at 3 a.m. was already incredible, but I never imagined there were even more experts out there, and that expert was myself.

After spending a few minutes washing up, Chen Yi went out.

At the dormitory gatekeeper's office, an old man was lying on a chair, listening to an advertisement for health products.

"Dragon Saliva Longevity Pills: one pill refreshes the mind, two pills eliminate fatigue, and three pills grant immortality!"

The next instant, a dark figure leaped over the wall next to the gate.

He sat up abruptly, scanned the area with his divine sense, and discovered it was that kid.

"Why is this kid here half an hour early again today? Doesn't he need to sleep?"

The old man was very puzzled, but he didn't care to pay any more attention to it.

Anyway, I promised Chen Yi that I would leave him a loophole to go out. I don't care what time he goes out, as long as he doesn't bother me.

After inserting "Self-study of Formations" into the schedule, the specific times are as follows:

2:40-4:30 Body movement training

4:30-5:30 Self-study of formations

5:30-6:00 Nourishing breakfast

Chen Yi began training his body movements.

He suddenly realized that he didn't have any textbooks on formations.

The library was already closed at this point...

Having no other choice, he had to bite the bullet, take out his phone, find Wu Lingyao, and borrow books on formations from her.

After all, Wu Lingyao chose array formations and artifact crafting.

I wonder if she's asleep...

Two seconds later, the other party replied: "I was just about to go to sleep, do you want to learn formations?"

In fact, Chen Yi understood what the other party was thinking.

At a time like this, what's the point of learning?

He had already prepared his explanation.

"I'm just interested, so I'll take a quick look. It's always good to have more skills..."

"Boom!"

Because he was distracted by chatting while practicing his movements, he almost crashed into a tree, and thunder rumbled overhead.

Chen Yi could only chat during the countdown, which lasted for three seconds at a time.

"Alright."

Wu Lingyao quickly sent over the electronic version of the first semester textbook on formations for the first year of high school.

However, she still cautioned, "This electronic version is for your own viewing only; don't send it to anyone outside the school!"

"Understood! Thanks!"

Chen Yi replied quickly and then put his phone away.

Copyright awareness is extremely strong in this world; even electronic versions of secret manuals are considered a serious crime if distributed without authorization.

There was once a senior student who passed on the alchemy books of Xiande Middle School to the demonic sects outside the school, and was captured by several Foundation Establishment teachers overnight.

Ultimately, the person disappeared without a trace.

Some say that person reformed by joining the principal's special class for cultivating spiritual power; others say that person has been expelled and is now spending their days in some dark and dreary assembly line, completely lost to the possibility of cultivating immortality...

Anyway, Chen Yi did read it himself.

"Is there only one copy?" Chen Yi asked softly.

But that's enough.

After all, the schedule only allocates one hour per day for "Self-Study of Formations".

If he can get through today, he can go to the library to find more books on formations.

Fortunately, most books about the Six Arts can be borrowed.

However, important books on cultivation techniques must absolutely not be taken out of the library...

......

Nothing much happened during the day; classes were just normal.

Generally, they take turns practicing body tempering, spellcasting, talismans, and beast control.

Occasionally, there will be one or two classes on Daoist mindset, which are similar to a combination of past life psychology and philosophy classes. The purpose is to strengthen students' Daoist mindset, reduce the suicide rate, and incidentally spread the philosophy of cultivating immortality and Daoism.

There is also a course called "Qigong Class," which is mainly conducted in the form of seminars, with a dozen or so classes attending together.

If you encounter any problems with the practice, you can ask questions, and the teacher will provide guidance and answers.

If you're lucky, you might even get to hear Principal Ma give a personal explanation.

However, even the most troublesome students fell silent when they saw the "Human Emperor Banner" billowing black smoke.

......

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yi rushed to the library.

The speed was forced upon us; if we were too slow, there would be thunder again...

He easily made his way to the third floor.

It's worth mentioning that he had already used up the 1,000 yuan he had previously recharged, so he recharged another 1,000 yuan.

He now realizes how quickly money disappears.

This was only what he spent in the library and the quiet room; if he hadn't only eaten one meal a day, he probably would have spent it even faster.

There's an old saying that goes, "Without wealth, one cannot cultivate the Tao." In plain terms, it means... how can you cultivate immortality if you don't have money?

Chen Yi found the "Secret Method of Qi and Blood Furnace" and entered a state of flow.

Until the prompt in the schedule appeared.

[Warning, this is currently dinner time. Please proceed immediately!]

Chen Yi remained unmoved. "Haven't you heard of working so hard you forget to eat and sleep? I don't even need to eat dinner because of my cultivation. You're asking me to go eat?"

[As expected of the host chosen by this system! I shall call you: A scroll within a scroll! Twisted into a pretzel!]

Today's dinner plan has been cancelled. Please keep trying!

Upon hearing the system's voice, Chen Yi's lips curled up slightly.

After all, the "spell study" after dinner these past two days has been slightly adjusted to "practicing body-refining methods".

By simply skipping meals, you can gain an extra half hour.

He estimated that he would only need half an hour at most to completely memorize this body-refining method.

Half an hour later.

He put the secret technique back on the bookshelf.

He was the only one who had read this secret technique these days, since most people wouldn't consider a secret technique that could easily damage their foundation.

After all, this secret method requires burning one's vital energy to form pure yang power. If one is not careful, it can easily damage one's foundation and affect one's potential.

Worried that the commotion would be too great, Chen Yi decided to leave the library and try somewhere else...
