Chen Yi's eyes lit up: "This one is good!"
The "Qi and Blood Furnace Secret Method" can temper the five internal organs and six bowels. Moreover, after mastering it, one will be immune to heat and cold, develop resistance to poisonous miasma and evil qi, and most importantly, it can accelerate the recovery of magical power. These are all very good effects!
The only downside is that this secret technique can easily damage one's foundation.
But if there were no side effects, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to watch it...
"Fortunately, I have a schedule, so I'm not too worried."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it had potential.
If all else fails, you can practice slowly and cautiously at the beginning, burning only a small amount of energy and blood, until you have mastered it, and then gradually increase the intensity.
Anyway, as long as he keeps practicing, his proficiency will increase, and he will eventually reach a point of mastery.
He didn't rush to confirm, and found one last book.
The "Rock-Solid Bone-Forging Technique" has the following characteristics:
Mimicking the steadfastness of mountains and rocks, it uses earth-elemental spiritual energy to temper the bones, increasing bone density and impact resistance. Upon reaching a minor level of mastery, one can withstand the blows of low-level magical artifacts.
Difficulty of cultivation: ★★★☆☆ (Easy to start, but requires long-term accumulation and progress is slow)
"Hiss! This one looks pretty good too."
It's easy to get started, but requires long-term accumulation and progress is slow. Isn't this perfect for me?
Once you get the basics down, you can use this to grind for proficiency. No matter how slow the progress is, once you get proficiency, how can it be slow?
The challenge is to draw upon earth-elemental energy, an area I have absolutely no experience in, but it's not insurmountable...
But the other book was also good. How should I choose?
Chen Yi looked thoughtful.
In just three seconds, he figured it out.
Only children make choices!
I want them all!
The "Qi and Blood Furnace Secret Method" tempers the five internal organs, and the "Rock-Solid Bone Forging Technique" enhances bone density and impact resistance. Isn't that all there is to it?
He believed that the improved learning efficiency brought about by the "calm mind" technique meant that even if he studied two body-strengthening techniques at the same time, he would definitely be able to make progress in both areas!
Once he had decided, he took both books off the shelf and went to a table to begin studying them.
The phrase "calm as still water" has taken effect, and he has entered a state of flow.
In a state of flow, one is unaware of the passage of time.
[Warning: The "Refining Your Dao Heart" phase has begun. Please proceed immediately!]
Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes.
"Is it already 10 p.m.?"
Three hours passed, and he had memorized one-third of the contents of the two body-refining methods.
Yes, he did nothing but take notes for those three hours.
It should be noted that the martial arts manuals in the library cannot be copied or photographed, but it is fine to keep them in mind.
He did it thanks to the powerful learning efficiency of the flow state.
If I do it two more times, I can completely memorize both body-refining techniques!
At that time, even if I leave the library, I will be able to practice according to my memory.
The advantage of doing this is... saving money!
Chen Yi timed his departure from the library perfectly, and a total of 360 yuan was deducted from his card, exactly three hours later.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he didn't lose out!
Not only did they not lose money, but they also made a huge profit by acquiring two body-refining techniques at such a low price!
......
Back in his dormitory, he began to meditate and cultivate his Daoist mind.
The Daoist mind is truly wondrous; it changes with every circumstance.
Suffering a major blow can cause one's Dao heart to collapse; without prolonged training, one's Dao heart will wear down...
Those whose minds are clear and enlightened will progress smoothly and have no worries about the Great Way.
To cultivate one's Dao heart, one needs to persevere in tempering it; it is truly like rowing against the current—if you don't advance, you fall behind.
While tempering my Dao heart, I also reflect on today.
The biggest gain today was undoubtedly finding two methods for body tempering.
Then, he glanced at the panel again.
Skill Level 0 - Proficiency 52/100 (+1)
Body Tempering Lv.0 - Proficiency 60/100 (+10)
Dao Heart lv.1 - Proficiency 120/200 (+9)
Movement Technique lv.0 - Proficiency 20/100 (+10)
Six Arts lv.0 (Expanded)
Alchemy lv.0 - Proficiency 0/100
Crafting level 0 - Proficiency 0/100
Talisman lv.1 - Proficiency 130/200 (+10)
Formation lv.0 - Proficiency 6/100
Beast Taming lv.0 - Proficiency 70/100
Spell Level 1 - Proficiency 120/200 (+20)
There wasn't much improvement in my skills today, mainly because I spent the time I would have spent practicing internal energy cultivation on learning body-refining methods.
The breathing exercises at lunch and dinner only last for half an hour. Over the course of the whole day, not even half a small cycle of energy is completed. The accumulated spiritual energy has to be used to counteract hunger, so naturally, cultivation level doesn't increase much.
However, given the schedule's capabilities, it will likely be slightly adjusted tomorrow to gradually eliminate the "uneven performance" issue, so there's no need for me to worry about it...
"Ha~"
Chen Yi yawned, stopped thinking about it, and went straight to sleep.
......
When I woke up the next day, the schedule had indeed changed.
The original "Body Training" session, which was scheduled for 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM every day, has been replaced by a trip to the library to learn body training methods.
The time allotted after dinner for "spellcasting" was temporarily changed to "learning body-strengthening techniques".
Because Chen Yi's mastery of magic techniques—fireball technique, wind technique, and sword technique—is already at its peak, there is limited room for further improvement in his magic techniques.
Therefore, the schedule allocated the time for self-studying magic to body training.
After all, mastering the body-strengthening methods as soon as possible and starting to practice them is the most urgent task.
Moreover, this way, Chen Yi can focus on practicing internal energy cultivation during the 19:00-22:00 "Cultivation Method" period, thus promoting the growth of his cultivation level.
There are still six days until the exploration of the secret realm that Wu Lingyao mentioned. He wants to try to advance to the next level and reach the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Once you reach the sixth floor, with the help of the happiness charm you drew, you might have a chance to reach the seventh floor!
However, before that, Chen Yi had to face one more thing: the monthly exam three days later.
While Chen Yi was oblivious to everything else and focused solely on cultivating the Ascension Book, his name once again ignited the school forum.
On the search page, five or six out of ten related entries are related to Chen Yi.
Shocking! Wu Xianzi's Daoist partner has been seemingly revealed!
"Ten classic quotes from Chen Yi at the 100-day countdown rally."
"Did Chen Yi and Yu Wanbai break up?"
"The Rise of a Newly Appointed Talisman Master: The Story of Chen Yi, a Rogue Cultivator's Comeback!"
"Chen Yi owes debts and refuses to pay them back?"
"......"
Right now, the hottest topic is someone's new property launch.
The title is "Chen Yi's Ranking in the Next Monthly Exam".
Three possibilities were offered.
1. Ranked among the bottom few hundred in the grade, the principal is preparing for a special talent class; his downfall is imminent. (302 people have placed bets)
2. The ranking is unremarkable, placing it in the upper-middle range, but it's all show and no substance. (760 people placed bets)
3. Ranking in the top ten solidifies one's status as a campus figure of the year, earning the respect of thousands and leaving behind a legend. (1 person placed a bet)
The person who opened the betting pool was named Sun Yu, a classmate of Chen Yi, and a notorious gambler who loved to open betting pools and act as the bookmaker on forums.
The school won't interfere much, after all, a little gambling is harmless fun, and cultivating immortality is about doing whatever you want, so what's the big deal about opening a gambling den?
Even some teachers get involved...
At this moment, Sun Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Yi's popularity is truly extraordinary!
Wow, so many people are betting.
However, most people are just watching from the sidelines or investing for fun, and the amount of money involved is not large.
The largest sum was probably the 10,000 yuan that Zhao Manjin invested, which was in option two.
"Hmm? Someone's placed a big bet again?" Sun Yu looked at the screen.
Two more people placed bets on the third option.
One transaction was for 20,000, and the other for 1,000.
"Damn! What kind of people are these! They actually think Chen Yi can be in the top ten? They're even more of a gambler than me!" Sun Yu complained.
