Chapter 25: [Upgrading Practice is a Man I s Romance]
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Outside the Small Study, fireflies still fluttered about, the full moon hung in the sky, seemingly close but actually far away.
On such a tranquil night, Lu Xun began his first cultivation in this life.
As ntioned earlier, one could acquire experience points not just by undertaking tasks or slaying monsters, but even by earnestly ditating and cultivating. Once the experience points were full, the cultivation technique could be upgraded.
Currently, Lu Xun’s enlightennt level was 1. The number of experience points acquired through cultivation would be rather small, but he still wanted to give it a shot with a calm mind.
After all, he should thoroughly experience it for the first ti.
Instant leveling up would be too quick, like a flash upgrade.
But too fast might not necessarily be a good thing.
Closing his eyes and sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lu Xun began to attempt to circulate his energy.
He did not know that his neighbor, Mao Nanbei, was no longer lying in bed but sitting up, his cat ears standing straight up.
In the small bamboo grove, the Taoist Nun on the stone also turned her head slightly, looking in the direction of the Small Study.
With the master and other seniors not at ho, the responsibility of overseeing the cultivation of their little junior brother naturally fell on the two of them.
Lu Xun’s talent wasn’t good, this was no longer a secret. But the journey of cultivation has its wonders, many things are hard to explain.
The key to the Qi Consumption Technique was clearly written in its na – it was about the consumption of nature’s spiritual energy.
More specifically, not just the Demon Sect, all cultivation techniques of the demon faction followed this way.
Lu Xun’s talent wasn’t good, he could sense a relatively thin amount of nature’s spiritual energy and his rate of absorption was rather slow.
But, he was soone who could focus when doing sothing and had an unwavering mind; that was a great advantage.
Before long, he started feeling itchy all over.
Being his first ti, it was normal to not be used to it. Feeling a little itchy, what’s so strange about that?
Soon after, he felt a bit of pain.
Being his first ti, it was understandable to feel a little pain.
Then, the slight pain turned into severe pain!
“Damn it!” Lu Xun almost broke concentration, but he quickly forced himself to calm down and continued cultivating.
If he gave up halfway now, who knew what kind of hidden dangers he might leave behind.
Going berserk would not happen. Only those with a high cultivation base were qualified to go berserk; rookies didn’t have the privilege.
But it definitely wouldn’t be beneficial.
As things progressed, Lu Xun started to feel a bit dazed from the pain.
“Why is it different from what’s written in the novels?!” was his only thought right now.
But then again, if cultivating was as comfortable as getting a massage, it would be pure enjoynt.
Anyone could enjoy leisure, right?
But in reality, cultivating was quite painful, requiring a big determination.
Many individuals had the talent, but lacked the will, hence they did not achieve anything.
Although Lu Xun could currently use experience points to level up, he also wanted to see where his limit was during his first ti.
To practice a cultivation technique once was referred to as a minor circulation, and to practice ten tis constituted a grand circulation. Lu Xun wanted to see how far he could go.
As ti passed by, his entire body had already soaked through with sweat.
Because of the intense pain, his body began to sweat profusely.
Enduring pain – Getting used to pain – Enjoying pain. This was the process.
Lu Xun might have been inherently talented; he seed to have reached the level of getting used to pain.
One minor circulation, two minor circulations, three minor circulations…
Ji Li, who had been watching on the side, was already stunned.
Even Mao Nanbei next door was startled, the pupils of his eyes almost turning to ellipses.
When he first cultivated… he didn’t seem as tolerant as Lu Nun!
However, thinking that this was a fierce man who would jump off a cliff if he said so, it seed to make sense.
Although their little junior brother was extrely good-looking, he seed to love torturing his own body.
By the ti he completed a grand circulation, dawn was about to break.
Opening his eyes and gasping for air, Lu Xun felt as if he was about to give his last breath!
This damn beginner’s Entrance Cultivation thod, nad “Qi Consumption Technique”, might as well change its na to “Dysnorrhea”!
As he gasped for breath, he looked toward Ji Li, who was intently watching him.
Right before his eyes, a string of numbers popped up next to Ji Li:
[Favorability 1… 1… 1…] Lu Xun:
What the hell did I do now?
He didn’t know that Mao Nanbei, who lived next to him, had already accepted him in his heart, and even the person in the bamboo forest nodded in approval after his practice ended.
This new disciple of ours, our Little Junior Brother… Seems like quite a character!
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Ji Li got up to say goodbye and went down the mountain.
She is still an Outer Sect Disciple and has morning classes in these days. She must attend them.
As for the one-on-one tutoring… it’s not the treatnt for Outer Sect Disciples. Once she advances to the Inner Sect and gets a proper ntor, things will get much better.
Before she went down the mountain, she took a long, hard look at Lu Xun.
After all, the back mountain is forbidden. She wouldn’t have a reason to co up again. If Lu Xun doesn’t co to see her, she may not see him for a year.
This made her feel a bit disappointed.
It was only when Lu Xun told her that he would co to visit her that she cheerfully left, hardly suppressing her joy even while walking.
Lu Xun watched her leave, then returned to his room.
He opened his panel information and looked at it. The experience column was marked as[686/100 (Can Upgrade)].
After practicing hard all night, circulating the Grand Circulation once and the smaller circulation ten tis, he only gained 20 experience points! “[Enlightennt 1] is indeed not that beneficial,” Lu Xun sighed inwardly.
“Heavenly Dust” hopes that players could complete more tasks, as thodical cultivation clearly has little use.
Now, it was almost ti to upgrade.
Lu Xun didn’t think much, and clicked to upgrade directly.
It wasn’t like in the ga, where a golden light would flash from under his feet and shoot up into the sky.
These upgrade special effects are purely for players to get a kick out of it.
But he could genuinely feel the change in his body and the increase in his strength.
Indeed, leveling up in cultivation is a man’s romance!
In the panel’s information, the[Spirituality Value]was initially 0/0, but it is now officially 10/10.
Although the so-called Spirituality Value bar was still pitifully short, things would develop progressively!
After studying the panel information in his room for a while, his stomach started to grumble.
Mao Nanbei and the Second Senior Sister could already manage without food, but Lu Xun who had just set foot in the cultivation world, was far from it.
Moreover, it’s challenging to give up on the pleasures of the taste. He didn’t want to either.
Our great gourt empire can eat invading species to the point where they need to be artificially bred to satisfy demand. The culinary skills developed by our ancestors shouldn’t be abandoned
But he doesn’t know… are there any edible things in the back mountain?
Just as the feeling of hunger surged up again, Lu Xun walked out of the Small Study and saw a big braised egg.
But it didn’t look very appetizing.
Sect Master Shen Yan of the Demon Sect was now standing outside the door and had clearly been waiting for a while.
“Greetings, Little Junior Uncle,” Shen Yan greeted.
At the sa ti, with his cultivation base, he imdiately noticed the difference in Lu Xun.
“First level of Qi Consumption Technique! ” Shen Yan was sowhat surprised.
But he felt that sothing was amiss.
