As we all know, no matter how enlightened or how talented a person is, how much progress can they make in seven days?
From the 100-day countdown rally to the monthly exam, only seven days have passed—far too short a time for Qi Refining stage cultivation...
Those who bet on the second option also saw some of Chen Yi's performance and placed their bets based on an objective perspective.
Even Sun Yu himself felt that the second option was the most likely.
As for those who voted for the bottom 100, they are either pure haters or purely jealous.
But among those who voted for the third option, Sun Yu could only think of one possibility, wanting to gamble big!
"Top ten? Is that even possible? That's breaking into the top ten out of more than three thousand people! With Chen Yi's cultivation at the fifth level of Qi Refining?"
Stop making your brother Sun laugh!
Those two people who placed bets, could they be friends of Chen Yi?
But does he have any friends?
Wait, could it be... Wu Lingyao?
Sun Yu quickly typed a line: "There's only one day left until the betting deadline. Hurry up if you want to join!"
Of course, Chen Yi was completely unaware of everything that happened at the forum.
Because he practices according to the schedule every moment.
Instead of spending time browsing forums, why not spend more time practicing...
Besides, even if he really wanted to slack off and browse the forum, the heavenly lightning above his head wouldn't allow it.
He didn't even have time to reply to Yu Wanbai's "Are you there?" message from three days ago, let alone the forum.
This is something that Yu Wanbai still holds a grudge about.
What goes around comes around, and now I've become the one who says, "If you're here, you're bound to be a clown at the start."
It really does prove Chen Yi's saying, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river..."
In short, a betting game that the parties involved were completely unaware of was thus set in motion.
......
7 p.m. that evening.
[Warning: It's time for . Please begin immediately!]
Chen Yi left the library and headed towards a certain building.
"I'll go to the library again tomorrow, and I'll remember everything," Chen Yi murmured.
I memorized another third of the material today.
Including what I memorized yesterday, I have memorized the entire "Rock-Solid Bone Forging Technique" and a small portion of the "Qi and Blood Furnace Secret Method." I'll probably need to spend several more hours tomorrow to fully memorize it.
In other words, he can begin practicing the "Rock Solid Bone Forging Technique" tonight.
This body-refining method is said to be easy to learn, but it requires long-term accumulation and progress is slow.
Therefore, Chen Yi plans to cultivate to the beginner level as soon as possible. As for the slow progress, let him tell me what to do with my proficiency panel!
"But before that, we must first learn to summon earth elemental energy..."
The "Rock-Solid Bone Forging Technique" requires the use of earth elemental energy to temper bones, but Chen Yi has never been exposed to earth-attribute magic, so he is not sensitive to earth elemental energy.
Fortunately, attracting spiritual energy is not a difficult task.
With enough money, it can be done in no time...
Chen Yi secretly planned, "I'll resolve this matter tonight."
Three minutes later, he arrived at a building that resembled a beehive.
Inside this building, there are many quiet rooms, all equipped with energy-gathering arrays that can attract spiritual energy.
The pricing for the quiet room is similar to that of the library, with three tiers: 40, 80, and 120 yuan per hour, from lowest to highest.
"Hello, classmate, how can I help you?"
There are many students here who know about formations. They work part-time here in exchange for free use of the meditation room.
At this moment, Chen Yi was greeted by a rather cute female student.
"Let's open a quiet room that costs 120 yuan an hour, the kind with an earth-elemental energy-gathering array," Chen Yi said quickly.
I still have over ten thousand yuan in hand, so I certainly can't let myself suffer.
If he had over ten thousand yuan when he was a senior in high school in his previous life, he could have added two extra eggs and a sausage to his instant noodles!
The junior smiled sweetly and gestured, "Okay, this way please!"
A moment later, Chen Yi arrived at a quiet room of about 30 square meters.
The surrounding walls were yellowish-brown, and looked uneven and rough.
The floor was made of uneven, yellow earth, and as soon as you entered, you could smell a strong earthy odor.
Chen Yi secretly praised, "That's right!"
This quiet room was set up with an earth-based energy-gathering array. Over time, the environment changed and became what it looks like now.
Inside the quiet room, the spiritual energy was filled with a strong earth element.
Immersed in this environment, it won't be long before one is able to attract earth-elemental spiritual energy.
Chen Yi sat cross-legged on a protruding rock and began to circulate his internal energy.
At first, there was no movement of spiritual energy around.
But gradually, the earthy yellow spiritual energy was drawn in and absorbed into his body.
Thus, the inspiration is complete.
Next, following the instructions in the "Rock-Solid Bone-Forging Technique," he imitated the steadfastness of a mountain rock and used earth-elemental spiritual energy to temper his bones.
At first, he didn't quite get it.
But as he became fully immersed in it, the phrase "calm as still water" began to take effect.
His body remained motionless, as if he had become one with the boulder beneath him.
If someone were to come in here, they might mistake this for a clay sculpture, so closely connected to the place.
Of course, a quiet room is called a quiet room because it is quiet and enclosed, so outsiders cannot enter when someone is present.
No one will check on the situation unless the time is up or there is no money left in the card.
About half an hour later, Chen Yi entered the room.
At this moment, he felt as if his body had become extremely heavy.
This is because the earth elemental energy tempered his body, increasing his bone density and making him feel cumbersome.
This is also a characteristic of this body-refining method, making people "heavier".
To regain agility, one must also improve one's movement technique.
But Chen Yi couldn't worry about that for the time being. Physical strength was his weakness, so he would improve his physical strength first and then figure out how to improve his movement skills later.
He adjusted his posture and actively guided the spiritual energy that had entered his body, directing it to circulate according to the internal energy pathways.
In this way, one can cultivate internal strength and temper the body at the same time without delaying either.
There is a drawback to doing this: part of the spiritual energy absorbed into the body is used for cultivating internal strength, and part is used for tempering bones, requiring a lot of spiritual energy.
But don't forget, he's currently in a quiet room with a Qi-gathering array, so this drawback isn't really a problem.
"It seems I won't be able to leave this quiet room from now on..."
Chen Yi seemed to see his money burning away, paving the way for his path to immortality.
He muttered to himself, "Renting a quiet room long-term is quite expensive. Unless I can set up an energy-gathering array myself."
With a schedule in place, it's not impossible; it would simply mean adding another time slot to the schedule...
Unexpectedly, just as this thought popped into my head, I heard an incredibly familiar voice echoing in my mind.
[We've sensed your need for a specific formation, so our plans have changed!]
[Your sleep time has been reduced by 30 minutes to include the Formation Self-Study plan, effective tomorrow!]
"Why!"
Chen Yi couldn't help but cover his forehead.
My sleep time has decreased again!
Even if I fall asleep instantly, it would still take less than three hours.
As a result, starting tomorrow, even two and a half hours won't be enough.
[This is currently the self-study period for the . Please do not be distracted!]
[Thunder Tribulation Countdown, Three...]
Chen Yi had no choice but to accept reality.
However, even after starting to learn formations, setting up an earth-type energy-gathering formation is not so easy.
Neither the materials for the formation nor the operating costs are cheap.
After much thought, for now, we still have to rely on the energy-gathering array in the quiet room...
