Suddenly, I felt my whole body’s Blood Qi and True Qi rushing uncontrollably towards the Golden Bell prototype.
I could feel its hunger and weakness.
With a thought, a wisp of Earth Spirit Qi appeared next to the Golden Bell.
Immediately, it stopped absorbing True Qi and Blood Qi.
However, this wisp of Earth Spirit Qi visibly decreased at a rapid pace, being devoured by the Golden Bell prototype.
One wisp was quickly consumed, much faster than before; this was true absorption.
Another wisp followed.
Even Immortal Masters can’t precisely control Spiritual Qi, but for the Small Knife, this is not a problem.
Currently, the Golden Bell prototype can only absorb one or two wisps; if it took in a Spirit Stone, it would explode.
Thus, the Golden Bell prototype became more and more solid.
Unconsciously, it completely absorbed hundreds of wisps from a piece of Earth Spirit Stone.
Without hesitation, Small Knife broke open a second one.
However, it didn’t consume much.
The Golden Bell prototype stopped absorbing.
Ding: Congratulations! Your Innate Companion Treasure (Top-Grade Talisman (Witchcraft) Level): Golden Bell (Prototype) has progressed from Minor Achievement to Great Success, obtaining sufficient Spiritual Qi and evolving into an Innate Companion Treasure (Top-Grade Talisman (Witchcraft) Level).
Ding: Congratulations on your successful Spirit Awakening.
Realm, Early Stage of First Realm, Early Stage of Qi Cultivation (First-Layer Qi Cultivation)
Ding: Congratulations, you have discovered your Spirit Root, with the Hidden Spirit Root manifesting as obvious spiritual sensitivity.
Small Knife: Spirit Root, Half Spirit Root, Earth Attribute.
Note: Half Spirit Root offers only half the cultivating effect of an Entry-level Spirit Root, categorized as an extremely poor Spirit Root.
Finally succeeded, Small Knife rejoiced greatly.
As for having an extremely poor Spirit Root, Small Knife had already mentally prepared for it.
It’s great to have a Spirit Root.
The Golden Bell Shield has reached top-grade level, surely enhancing the defense significantly, probably at least doubling the effect?
Small Knife took out an Earth Spirit Stone, holding it in his hand, feeling the energy within it.
Although not knowing where his Half Spirit Root is, at the moment, holding the Spirit Stone and attempting, although it’s difficult, he can barely guide and mobilize the Spiritual Qi within it.
This is the advantage of having a Spirit Root.
In this way, I can truly practice with the help of Spiritual Qi.
Afterward, he put away the Spirit Stone, closed his eyes, and practiced according to the Five Elements Spirit Formulas provided by the Little Cultivator.
Small Knife wasn’t sure how many tries it took, but he knew it by heart.
Unfortunately, there was no effect before, but now it’s finally effective.
One breath in, one breath out.
After Spirit Awakening, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi wandering in the universe into the body for cultivation is divided into three steps.
The first step is Energy Introduction, attracting Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
The second step is Qi Absorption, introducing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into the body through the unique breathing method of the Cultivation Technique.
One introduction, one absorption, drawing in wisp after wisp of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
Once the entire Dantian is filled, the third step, Qi Refining, can begin.
With an Entry-level Spirit Root, every time the Dantian is filled with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, theoretically, one could refine a wisp of Spiritual Qi, though Small Knife estimates he can only refine half a wisp, but that’s okay.
It’s good to have a Spirit Root.
Yet, it took Small Knife an entire day just to perform Qi Introduction and Qi Absorption.
At the end of the day, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi absorbed into the Dantian was not even one-third full?
Cannot stop, or all prior efforts would go to waste.
Though not skilled, it still took over four days to fill the Dantian with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Estimated, even when proficient, filling the Dantian in two to three days would be the limit.
Small Knife was almost starving, yet endured.
Even if there’s a shortcut, he still needs to complete a full cycle.
Practice, practice, cultivating both body and mind, must persevere.
A Dantian full of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi circulating.
He began the third and final step of refining Qi according to the Five Elements Spirit Formulas to complete a full cycle.
Upon operation, Small Knife was delighted.
The Golden Bell, being a top-grade magical artifact, gently rotated, aiding in qi refining, significantly boosting the speed.
Even so, it took more than half a day.
An entire, completely full Dantian of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, operating under the Qi Refining Formulas within the Five Elements Spirit Formulas, a little waste gas expelled, and a bit slowly sublimated.
Of course, when the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi fully refined into Earth Spiritual Power, Small Knife felt cheated; there wasn’t even half a wisp, only one-third.
In the end, as soon as the cycle ended and he breathed a sigh of relief, that third of a wisp of Earth Spiritual Power was instantly absorbed by the Golden Bell.
When Small Knife realized, it was already completely digested.
He felt like crying but no tears came out.
What he painstakingly refined, he even planned to keep it as a memento.
Forget it, at least completing one cycle means becoming familiar with the cultivation technique.
Then, it was time to eat, to eat.
Was almost starved to death.
He quickly ate and drank to his fill, savoring some Spirit Tea, and exhaled a long breath.
At last, it came to an interim end.
Golden Bell Shield reached Great Success.
Managing a week seems a hundred times faster?
Since it’s so quick, it seems, seems inadequate, why not reach Perfection before venturing out.
Upon venturing out, address a formidable Immortal Master as Father.
Is a hundred times the speed enough to reach Perfection?
In seclusion, aiming for Perfection takes at least twenty or thirty years, showing how long beta players have endured?
Yet, with a hundred times speed, within a few months, I can hold it out.
Outside, Immortal Masters are rampant, it’s unsafe.
Small Knife pondered.
He checked the previous notifications he hadn’t noticed.
Black lines appeared across his forehead, turns out refining an entire Dantian of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into Earth Spiritual Power, the system could only convert it to experience, yet only 3254 points.
Also indicated, a wisp of Spiritual Qi could convert into ten thousand experience points.
Eating a meal of Demon Beast Meat could easily digest and gain nearly a thousand experience points, does it differ that much?
Days of arduous cultivation barely matched a meal.
A meal doesn’t consist solely of Demon Beast Meat, endless eggs providing experience too, summing up, obtained even more experience.
