"The 'Eternal Spring Skill' consumes 1500 battle merits, with a debt of 500 battle merits to be repaid within 3 days. Any objections?" the old man asked.
Chen Yi shook his head: "No objection."
"good!"
The other party directly stripped Chen Yi of all his military achievements.
The battle merit token now displays a count of "-500".
"Um, Chen Yi can buy on credit, can we too?" someone in line behind asked timidly.
The old man said with a half-smile, "Why would you need to buy your little things on credit?"
Those around were speechless upon hearing this.
This means they don't even qualify for credit...
Chen Yi accepted the "Changchun Gong" and bid farewell to the old man.
He returned to his quiet room and began to learn the skill.
Anyway, his name wasn't on the list of people on night duty tonight.
"The Everlasting Spring Technique: Practicing this technique can nourish the wood element and prolong life."
"It is said that if this skill is cultivated to the highest level, it can break through the lifespan limit. Ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivators can live up to 500 years, but this skill can reach 600 years."
"Increasing lifespan is secondary; the main purpose is to use this skill to condense the 'true spiritual energy of withered trees coming back to life'."
Because Chen Yi had refined the Nine Nether Grass that was five hundred years old, his wood energy was abundant, and his cultivation of the Everlasting Spring Technique progressed by leaps and bounds.
In addition, his cultivation level of the thirteenth level of Qi Refining has made his spiritual energy reserves and meridian capacity far superior to those of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators.
Therefore, even though the "Eternal Spring Skill" is a foundation-building technique, he found it easy to cultivate.
From beginner to proficient, it only took half an hour.
Fortunately, this is currently the period of execution of the special plan [Campus Defense War], so Chen Yi can plan his cultivation as he sees fit, as long as he does not violate the "Hundred Days Foundation Building" rule.
Subsequently, he continued to promote "Changchun Gong".
[Through your efforts, your skill level has improved; proficiency +6]
His proficiency in the martial arts technique also improved rapidly at this time.
Three hours passed.
Congratulations! After diligent practice, your "cultivation technique" level has been raised to level 2.
The entry "" has been transformed into "Kung Fu Prodigy"!
[Entry: Training Prodigy]
Effect: Adding any new cultivation technique to the existing entries will increase cultivation efficiency several times over compared to ordinary practitioners.
Chen Yi's eyes lit up.
"With this effect combined with flow state, the efficiency of cultivation could probably be even higher!"
Then, he began practicing the Everlasting Spring Technique.
A green light swirled around him, and a vibrant scene seemed to emerge in his mind.
This is the meditation practiced by practitioners.
Chen Yi seemed to have forgotten the passage of time.
The pace only slowed down when "Changchun Gong" reached its "great success".
The "Eternal Spring Skill" is a skill that progresses slowly, requiring daily accumulation to capture the meager life force of all things and keep it within oneself, thereby increasing lifespan.
If he hadn't had 500 years of Nine Nether Grass as a foundation, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to achieve mastery in just one night.
However, since this technique is a foundation-building method, even if one only cultivates it to the "great success" level, it is more than enough to condense true spiritual energy.
Chen Yi took a deep breath and directly activated the herbal medicinal power of the Nine Nether Grass within his body, which subtly aligned with the profound mysteries of the "Eternal Spring Technique".
His inner energy gathered within the vortex, and he felt his body gradually stiffen and become numb. His meridians, lacking nourishment from spiritual energy, were becoming somewhat depleted...
I even felt a slight stinging sensation all over my body.
But he did not give up; instead, he calmly continued practicing his technique.
The process of condensing true spiritual energy is inherently fraught with danger, and he had already experienced it three times, so he was not flustered at all.
As expected, with the continued operation of the technique...
The accumulated wood elemental energy, like a seed suspended in the dantian, reached its peak.
Finally, at a certain moment, it erupted completely.
Within Chen Yi's body, the wood elemental energy manifested signs of revival, continuously growing and spreading.
The meridians are growing vigorously, as if they are wrapped in a layer of tough bark.
Within this boundless spiritual energy, a special being imbued with abundant vitality was born.
This is the true spirit of a withered tree coming back to life!
Chen Yi suddenly opened his eyes, looking at his hair hanging to the ground, feeling a sense of disorientation.
"This vitality is just too strong; even my hair is hanging down to the ground..."
"Clang!"
The Yangwen Sword darted around him, several sword beams flashed, and his long hair was severed.
The broken hair seemed to be growing back.
Fortunately, Chen Yi completely controlled the Wood True Spiritual Energy within his body, stopping his hair from growing.
He let out a long breath.
Even the breath felt exceptionally fresh...
"There seems to be some commotion outside, but it's not very loud."
He keenly heard a slight noise outside.
"Have they started fighting again?"
As expected, in the dead of night, the monsters attacked again.
However, Chen Yi did not leave the quiet room.
If the situation becomes critical, someone will definitely gather all those who are resting.
The fact that this situation has not occurred proves that the situation is under control.
"By the way, System, didn't you say that obtaining the Foundation Establishment Certificate would reward you with comprehending a Natal Character and its meaning?"
This reward will be distributed during the period.
Chen Yi rolled his eyes and went straight to sleep.
After entering the dream, I indeed arrived at that strange dream space again.
"And the reward?" he asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, a sun rose, and the dream space seemed to be gilded with a layer of gold.
[The natal character belongs to the "path of destiny," and cannot be obtained by anyone other than a Foundation Establishment cultivator.]
[Intention is the interpretation of a word. There are countless intentions in the world, and a word must be paired with an intention in order to exert its effect.]
[For example, your principal, Ma Guangzhi, understood the meaning of the three characters "eat," "take," and "card," and also knew that the fourth character was "want," but he didn't match it with the corresponding intention, so the fourth character has not actually been realized.]
The first word you realized is—Yang!
The character "阳" (yang) encompasses a wide range of meanings, such as: "天心照" (tianxin zhào, shining brightly in the heavens) and "无私晖" (wusi huī, selfless radiance) in "正阳" (zhengyang, the bright light of dawn) and "破晓芒" (po xiao máng, the light of dawn) and "鱼肚白" (yú dù bái, the white light of a fish's belly) in "少阳" (shaoyang, the light of dawn) and "烛幽微" (zhú yōu wēi, the faint glow of a candle) in "墨阳" (mo yang, the dim light of dusk) and "贯紫气" (guàn zǐ qì, penetrating the purple aura) in "灵阳" (ling yang, the spiritual aura). These are all examples of the meanings that the character "阳" points to.
Chen Yi was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected that not only were times progressing, but even the cultivation system had evolved to this extent.
"Then what does the character 'Yang' in my name signify?" he asked the system.
[This will only be understood once the host advances to the Foundation Establishment stage...]
Chen Yi blinked.
In other words, he only learned about his first natal character tonight, and he will have to wait until he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage to comprehend its meaning.
Wake up!
Suddenly, a voice echoed in his ears.
This startled Chen Yi awake instantly!
Opening her eyes, she saw a circle of bluish-gray skirt. Moving her gaze upward, she was met with a pair of condescending, glassy gray eyes.
"You, how did you get in?"
Chen Yi braced himself with both hands on the ground, leaned back sharply, and quickly scanned his clothes to ensure his innocence.
Even if the other party didn't say it, he knew that the small restriction at the entrance of the meditation room couldn't stop a Foundation Establishment cultivator...
A hint of satisfaction at having avenged a great grudge flashed across Su Xin's calm face. Her voice remained indifferent as she said, "The beast tide has moved eastward, and the border defense line between your Xiande City and the Red Dragon Mountain Range was breached half an hour ago."
Chen Yi's expression hardened, as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Come back with me obediently, and you might still live."
Chen Yi looked at Su Xin with a blank expression: "What do you mean by that?"
The latter curled his lip, his tone flat: "Not bad acting. But unfortunately, you've already given yourself away..."
