Jiang Li is an internal martial artist with strong energy and abundant blood, but he also feels cold all over.
As time went by, the chill spread from the skin to the bones, and then from the bones back to the skin. If there was an outsider present at this time, they would find that Jiang Li's body was purple and his lips were black, and he didn't look like a living person at all.
【When attacked by Yin Qi, the Yin of Wood enters the body and acts on oneself.】
[Wood Yin enters the body: HP loss of 1 point per second, all attributes reduced by 30%, physical attributes reduced by 1.1, duration 12 hours.] (-+)
It was the first time that Jiang Li saw a status attribute measured in seconds, and it was a negative loss status.
A little life is lost every second. It is indeed impossible for a mortal body to resist the evil energy generated in the monks' cemetery.
However, Jiang Li did not get rid of the state immediately, nor did he use his internal force to resist. Instead, he concentrated his mind and calmed his spirit, using the method in "Ghost Wood Art" to actively begin to draw Yin Qi into his body.
Isn't this what he has been practicing hard behind closed doors for more than half a month?
Although his current state was painful, it was effortless to draw the air into his body. The seed that he had been visualizing in his mind was also taking shape at a speed that he had previously unimagined, becoming clear, three-dimensional, and full of vitality!
[Ghost Wood Qi Training Chapter lv0→lv1]
[The Ghost Wood Art Qi Refining Stage LV1 has been learned, and the new profession Qi Refining Monk has been obtained. Do you want to replace the main profession? ]
On the panel, Guimu Jue's level changed quietly, and a striking prompt popped up.
Jiang Li decisively chose "Yes", and the main occupation column was immediately replaced.
【Name: Jiang Li】
【Age: 13 years old】
[Race: Human]
[Main occupation: Qi training monk, level: initial stage]
[Secondary Occupation 1: Warrior, Level: First-Class]
There is still a certain difference between the main and secondary professions. Based on previous games and settings, the experience gained by the main profession will be increased by 20%, but Jiang Li still doesn't know how it will perform in reality.
After practicing "Ghost Wood Art" and becoming a practitioner in the early stage of Qi training, Jiang Li immediately felt the difference.
The bone-chilling cold and numbness were gradually fading away, and the stiff body was gradually regaining consciousness.
At this time, he no longer felt uncomfortable, but instead felt a kind of comfort as if bathed in a spring breeze.
Looking at the panel again, the state of [Wood Yin Entering the Body] still exists.
But this is a different time. This strong wood Yin energy was a bone-corrosive poison to him before, but it is a real tonic for him now! [Wood Yin enters the body: The practice speed of "Ghost Wood Art" is increased by 300%, and the duration is 2 hours.] (-+)
This status has been moved from the loss status column to the gain status column, and the effect is very gratifying.
I decisively pressed the plus sign for five seconds.
[Wood Yin enters the body: The speed of practicing "Ghost Wood Art" increases by 300%, duration ∞] (-) This state alone is enough to make his practice speed comparable to the best top-grade spiritual roots, the speed is completely incomparable.
Jiang Li did not open his eyes and continued to practice his skills while the iron was hot.
Half an hour later, the Qi circulation was completed, and a stream of extremely pure Yin Wood spiritual energy flowed into the Dantian Qi Sea.
Only then could he unable to conceal his joy and exited his meditation state.
He was startled when he opened his eyes. A ball of green ghost fire was floating in the air right next to his face.
Jiang Li took two steps back in fright, only then he realized that there were more than just one will-o'-the-wisp fire. There were at least a hundred of them, burning silently around him without any temperature. The scene was as weird as it could be.
It’s like when you wake up, there are hundreds of burly men standing by your bed, smiling at you.
"It's not a good place to stay for long!"
The goal has been achieved, Jiang Li picked up the locust wood again and ran away decisively.
This is really just luck. The high death rate of outer disciples in Sutra Valley created this cemetery with a strong yin energy and almost no ghosts.
This place was simply a training ground tailor-made for him. With the addition of this locust wood, he was able to successfully enter the "Ghost Wood Art" and attain a whole new state of enhanced practice.
"Now that I have mastered the basics of Qi training, I can take pills to assist my practice. That way, my training speed will be even faster."
"It's just that, for ordinary disciples with middle-grade spiritual roots, it takes at least a month to master the basics of Qi training after they officially start practicing. My speed is even faster than most disciples with upper-grade spiritual roots."
"It seems that in the future, while keeping a low profile, I have to come to this cemetery more often. Otherwise, there is no reason to explain this exaggerated cultivation speed."
Carrying the logs, Jiang Li walked briskly, and was much lighter than when he came before.
After becoming a cultivator, his body also underwent some changes, especially the wood yin spiritual energy, which, just by lingering in his qi sea, brought him endless power, which was obviously much higher in quality than his internal strength.
"He has just started practicing Qi, but he can already compare with the inner martial artists in the mortal world, or even surpass them."
"Cultivating immortals and practicing martial arts are indeed not things of the same dimension. When I learn the Taoist arts, even an innate martial artist will be easily killed by me."
He hurried back to the dormitory and placed the locust tree in his own yard. The night was too dark and he did not notice that several new buds had sprouted on the old locust tree.
Sitting on the futon in the room, Jiang Li took out a porcelain bottle from his arms.
It is a Qi-nourishing pill that can assist in cultivation.
【Take the Qi-nourishing Pill to nourish your own Qi.】
[Nourishing Qi: Increases the body's Qi and blood, and improves the speed of practicing Qi Refining techniques by 50%, lasting for 2 hours] (-+) Jiang Li did not stop his actions, as he stuffed one Qi Nourishing Pill after another into his mouth and swallowed them.
A warm current surged in his abdomen, and the surging blood and qi made his face flush. The pure spiritual energy that was originally locked in the elixir slowly dissipated and was constantly absorbed by the "Ghost Wood Art" he was practicing, constantly strengthening the wood yin spiritual energy in his sea of qi.
Jiang Li didn't stop until his body began to feel swelling, like a balloon being blown to the critical point.
[Taking an excessive amount of Yangqi Pills will accelerate the effect of Yangqi on oneself. ]
[Accelerate Qi nourishment: Increase the body's Qi and blood, and improve the speed of practicing Qi Refining techniques by 200%, lasting for 3 hours] (-+) Press and hold for five seconds.
[Accelerate Qi cultivation: Increase the body's Qi and blood, and increase the speed of practicing Qi training by 200%, lasting ∞] (-)

It was only then that Jiang Li realized that cultivation was such a wonderful thing. A steady stream of spiritual energy flowed into his Qi Sea, and the Wood Yin spiritual energy thrived. He could clearly feel that he was becoming stronger every moment.
Speed up 500%, is this the feeling of the top-grade spiritual geniuses in cultivation? As expected, the online article is not deceiving me, this feeling is even better than passing on the family line. What kind of cultivators retreat for years or decades is actually far less boring than outsiders imagine.
Before I knew it, time passed slowly in the quiet practice.
The seed that Jiang Li visualized in his mind also cracked slightly, and a young sprout was faintly visible from it.
. . . .
A week later, at the Outer Gate University.
The elder who was teaching Kung Fu walked into the hall, paused, and then a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"It seems that one of you has already made a breakthrough!"
"Come show me who you are."
The elder who was in charge of teaching skills picked up a list and looked at it according to everyone's seats.
"Yu Banxia, a top-grade spiritual root, well, very good, this shows that you have worked very hard during this period."
After receiving the praise, Yu Banxia, who always sat in the first row of the classroom, puffed out her chest with pride.
After encouraging Yu Banxia a few words, the elder looked in the direction of Jiang Li again.
"Jiang Li, middle-grade spiritual root?"
The elder who taught the skills frowned.
"Jiang Li, did you take the pills in advance?"
The elder's voice was obviously somewhat dissatisfied. A person with middle-grade spiritual root aptitude had broken through to the Qi Refining Stage at this time, so his first reaction was to take pills.
But he had said in the first lesson of the outer school that disciples with middle and upper-grade spiritual roots were not allowed to take medicinal pills before they started practicing Qi, as doing so would seriously affect their potential for later practice, which would not be worth the loss!
Only disciples with low-grade spiritual roots or below, who do not have much potential and find it difficult to even enter the door without taking the pill, are allowed to take it.
Now he thought that Jiang Li had violated his teachings, and naturally he was very unhappy.
“Elder, I did not take the elixir in advance. I was able to break through at this time because of your guidance.”
Jiang Li did not start to argue with him as soon as he disagreed with her. Instead, he started by flattering her.
He really had no interest in turning some minor conflicts and quarrels into a face-saving dispute or even a life-and-death enemy.
"Oh? It's only been more than 20 days since you started practicing, and the other top-grade spiritual roots of them haven't made a breakthrough yet. Can you tell me what kind of teachings I gave you that allowed you to surpass them so quickly?"
Of course, the elder still didn't believe it. If Jiang Li had a background in cultivating immortals and had elders helping him behind the scenes, and they could set up a formation or something to help him practice, then there would naturally be no problem.
But Jiang Li had a clean background and was just an ordinary outer sect. What could he do? "Elder, you don't know. The technique I practiced was the Ghost Wood Technique. In last week's lecture, the elder said..."
Jiang Li explained calmly and recounted his own actions with some minor omissions.
He had only said half of his words when the outer sect elder's frown had completely relaxed.
How could he not be aware of the situation at the outer gate mass grave? He had killed at least dozens of ghosts by chance when passing by.
It is common knowledge in the world of immortal cultivation that locust trees belong to the Yin element. An ordinary locust tree may become a spirit only after a hundred years, but if it is planted in a mass grave outside the gate, it will probably become a demon in ten years or so.
If Jiang Li was practicing the "Ghost Wood Art" there and his speed was not fast, there must be something fishy going on.
