Chapter 025 Upgrading and practicing is a man's romance
The fireflies outside the small study were still flying around, and the full moon was hanging in the sky, seemingly very close, but actually very far away.
On such a quiet night, Lu Xun began his first practice in this life.
As mentioned before, if you don't rely on completing quests or killing monsters to gain experience points, you can also gain experience points by just meditating and practicing. As long as the experience points are full, you can upgrade your skills.
Lu Xun's current level is [Comprehension 1]. The amount of experience points he gains through practice will be relatively small, but he still wants to calm down and give it a try.
It’s the first time, so I should experience it well.
The upgrade happened in a flash, that's too fast, it's like upgrading in seconds.
Too fast is not necessarily a good thing.
Closing his eyes and sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lu Xun began to try to circulate the Qi in his body.
He didn't know that the cat Nanbei who lived next door to him was no longer lying on the bed, but sitting up with a pair of cat ears standing straight up.
In the small bamboo forest, the Taoist nun on the stone also tilted her head and looked in the direction of the small study.
Since the master and other fellow disciples were not at home, the two of them naturally took charge of the little disciple's practice studies.
It was no secret that Lu Xun was not talented. But the path of cultivation had its mysteries, and many things were hard to explain.
The key element of "The Art of Eating Air" is clearly written in the name, which is to devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
To be precise, not just the Demon Sect, but all the Demon Sects’ skills follow this approach.
Lu Xun’s aptitude was not good, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that he sensed was a bit thin, and he absorbed it at a relatively slow speed.
But he is a person who is very focused and calm when doing things, which is a great help.
Soon, he felt itchy all over.
It’s the first time, so it’s normal to be unexperienced. It’s a little itchy, what’s so strange about that?
Then not long after, he felt a little pain.
It’s the first time, so it’s understandable that it’s a little painful.
Then, the slight pain turned into severe pain!
"Fuck!" Lu Xun almost lost his mind, but quickly forced himself to calm down and continue practicing.
If he gave up halfway at this moment, there might be some hidden dangers.
It is not the case that one will go astray. Only those with high level of cultivation are qualified to go astray. Rookies are not worthy of that.
But it's definitely not good.
By the end, Lu Xun was in so much pain that he was a little dazed.
"Why is it different from what is written in the novel!?" This was his only thought at the moment.
But it makes sense when I think about it. If practicing Buddhism is really as comfortable as getting a massage, then that would be enjoyment.
Who doesn’t know how to enjoy life?
In fact, practicing is really painful and requires great perseverance.
Many people are talented but lack perseverance, so they don't achieve anything.
Although Lu Xun can currently upgrade through experience points, he also wants to see where his limits are for the first time.
Practicing a skill once is called a small Zhoutian. If you practice it ten times, it is a big Zhoutian. Lu Xun wanted to see how far he could go.
Time passed by minute by minute, and he was soaked all over.
Due to the severe pain, his body began to sweat profusely.
[Endure the pain - get used to the pain - enjoy the pain], this is a process.
Perhaps Lu Xun was gifted, as he had actually reached the level of [Getting Use to Pain].
One small Zhoutian, two small Zhoutian, three small Zhoutian...
Ji Li was already stunned watching from the side.
Even the cat next door, Nanbei, was startled, and the pupils in his eyes almost turned into ovals.
When I first started practicing... I didn't seem to be as patient as him!
But when I think about the fact that this is a ruthless person who would jump off a cliff if he said so, it seems reasonable.
Although my junior brother is very handsome, he seems to love to ruin his body.
It was almost dawn when a big cycle was completed.
Lu Xun opened his eyes, gasping for breath, and felt like he was about to die!
What the hell is this introductory exercise for beginners called “The Art of Eating Qi”? It might as well be renamed “Dysmenorrhea”!
While breathing heavily, he looked at Ji Li who was staring at him.
I watched helplessly as another string of numbers appeared next to Ji Li:
[Favorability +1...+1...+1...]
Lu Xun: “???”
What did I do ?
He didn't know that Mao Nanbei, who lived next door to him, had already recognized him in his heart, and even the man in the bamboo forest couldn't help but nodded after he finished his training.
This gentleman's new disciple, our little junior brother...seems a bit fierce!
…
…
The next day, after daybreak, Ji Li got up, said goodbye, and went down the mountain.
She is still an outer disciple now, and she has morning classes these days, which she must attend.
As for the one-on-one tutoring... this is not the treatment for outer disciples. Once she is promoted to the inner sect and has her own formal master, things will be much better.
Before going down the mountain , she looked at Lu Xun deeply.
After all, the back mountain is a forbidden area, and she has no reason to go up the mountain next time. If Lu Xun doesn't come to find her, she might not see him once a year.
This made her feel a little lost.
It was not until Lu Xun told her that he would come to visit her that she left happily. She could not help but tiptoe with excitement as she walked.
After Lu Xun watched her leave, he returned to his room.
He opened his panel information and took a look. The experience column read [686/100 (upgradable)].
After practicing hard for a whole night, one big cycle and ten small cycles, I only got 20 experience points!
“【Comprehension 1】is really useless.” Lu Xun sighed in his heart.
"Tianchen" also hopes that players can complete more tasks. Practicing step by step is obviously not very useful.
Now, it's almost time to upgrade.
Lu Xun didn't think too much and directly clicked on the upgrade.
It was not like in the game, where a golden light flashed from under his feet and then shot straight into the sky.
This kind of upgrade special effect is designed to make the player's game more enjoyable and exciting.
But he could truly feel the changes in his body and the increase in strength.
As expected, upgrading your skills is a man’s romance!
And in the panel information, [Spiritual Power Value] was originally 0/0, but now it has officially become 10/10.
Although the spiritual power value commonly known as the blue bar is still pitifully short, it is improving step by step!
After studying the panel information for a while in the room, his stomach began to growl.
Mao Nanbei and the second senior sister were already able to practice fasting, but Lu Xun, who had just stepped into the world of spiritual practice, was still far away.
What's more, the desire for language is difficult to give up, and he doesn't want to give it up.
My great foodie empire can eat invasive alien species to the point where they have to be artificially bred to be eaten. The culinary skills passed down by our ancestors must not be lost.
I just don’t know...is there anything suitable to eat in the back mountain?
The feeling of hunger surged up again. After Lu Xun walked out of the small study, what caught his eye was a big boiled egg.
But it doesn't look very delicious.
The leader of the Demon Sect, Shen Yan, was standing outside the door at this moment, and had obviously been waiting for a while.
"Greetings, Junior Master." Shen Yan saluted.
At the same time, with his cultivation level, he could naturally see the difference in Lu Xun at this moment.
"The first level of the Food Breath Technique!" Shen Yan was a little surprised.
But he felt something was wrong.
