Cultivation: Start From Upgrading My Computer

Chapter 14



Mock Competition

After he came back to his senses, he looked at the optimized formula for the Foundation Building Elixir.

There was a line of small words at the bottom of the formula page: It has been optimized to the limits of medicinal studies.

That’s right, after this round of optimization, the ancient formula for the Foundation Building Elixir had been optimized to its limit. The last rare material had finally been optimized and replaced with a material that was relatively cheaper and familiar to the people.

Overall, the cost of production was much lower than the beginning.

But correspondingly, the new formula also had higher requirements for the elixir refining technique and level of elixir refining.

What he needed to do now was to reach the peak of the Qi Refinement stage as soon as possible, and then consider breaking through to the Foundation Building stage.

Now that he had a large number of contribution points and spirit stones, he no longer needed to worry about spirit stones.

He went to the floating Immortal City to cancel the remaining rent of the quiet room and found that Yue Wanling, who was next door, had also left.

Half a month passed by in a flash.

There was only one day left until the competition.

Cheng Xu was immersed in high-intensity cultivation every day. With the support of the Glorious Crimson Sutra and the supreme-grade Qi Condensation pill, he finally managed to rush to the peak of the Qi Refinement stage on the day before the competition.

The true Qi in his sea of consciousness had already been cultivated to its limit, and he was only one step away from condensing it into a more noble true essence!

In fact, the peak of Qi Refinement stage was actually the limit of the later stage of Qi Refinement stage.

After reaching the peak of the Qi Refinement stage, he could no longer increase his true Qi and began to prepare for the Foundation Building stage.

A few days ago, his master, Perfected Chi Yao, had personally helped him and Miao Changsheng refine a Supreme-grade Foundation Building Elixir. He had told them to use the Foundation Building Elixir to break through to the Foundation Building stage after they had a certain level of confidence.

In this half a month, the name Cheng Xu had been completely integrated into the big family of the Medicine Immortal Valley.

In addition, Elder Ma of the merit Hall also kept his promise and sent his disciple, Jian Yuxiang, to personally deliver 50 Earth Spirit Essences.

He had successfully upgraded the hard disk of the cultivation computer to 2GB, and the hard disk space had been further expanded.

As for the requirements for the next level, it was similar to what Cheng Xu had expected. It required 100000 spirit stones and a piece of mysterious Earth Crystal.

At the current stage, there was no need to even think about using the mystic soil crystal as a top-grade forging material for the Golden Core stage.

tomorrow is the test. I’ll first go to the library cave to read some alchemy books. While improving my alchemy skills, I can also improve the power of the medicinal law incantation.

Just as she was about to get up and head to the library cave, a young girl with a graceful figure and a cold face walked in. It was Senior Sister Jian Yuxiang.

Perhaps sensing Cheng Xu’s peak Qi Refinement stage aura, Jian Yuxiang smiled and congratulated him, “”Congratulations, Junior Brother Cheng.”

“Senior Sister, is there something you need me for?” Cheng Xu waved his hand with a smile and asked doubtfully.

“I wanted to see how Junior Brother’s preparations were going, but it seems I was overthinking.” “With Junior Brother’s strength at the peak of the Qi Refinement stage, you should be able to get a pretty good ranking.” Jian Yuxiang smiled lightly.

Cheng Xu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Did she come to him just to say this?

“Also…” Jian Yuxiang wanted to say something but stopped.

Sure enough, there was something else.

“Senior Sister, please speak.”

“Actually, I’ve always been curious. How did you see the key to the Mystic Water technique that day?” Jian Yuxiang’s eyes were fixed on Cheng Xu, full of curiosity.

“Ahem. Ahem, this… Maybe it’s because the onlooker sees the game more clearly than the player. Besides, I’m a pretty good person.”

“The onlooker sees the game more clearly than the player?”

Jian Yuxiang nodded her head thoughtfully and immediately continued to ask for guidance.

She formed a seal with her bare hands and condensed a stream of water that flowed freely in front of her. “I’ve been familiarizing myself with the use of the Mystic Water technique these few days. Although I’ve successfully mastered the third level of the technique, I still feel like I’m lacking something.”

Cheng Xu stared at the water flow for a while and quickly discovered Jian Yuxiang’s problem.

First, he pretended to ponder over it for a while, and then he explained the problem in a tactful way, “I don’t know much about water manipulation, but I’m still very familiar with things like water. Senior Sister, why don’t you go and observe the natural waters? Perhaps it can solve your doubts.”

“Natural water?”

“That’s right. Water doesn’t just stay dynamic, it also has a quiet and still side. In my opinion, Senior sister’s water control technique might be a little too hasty,” Cheng Xu analyzed, pretending to be hesitant.

“It seems that I have found the right person.” Jian Yuxiang nodded her head profoundly. Junior Brother Cheng really knows the black water chant better than I do.

“Uh, Senior Sister, you’re too kind.” Cheng Xu hurriedly waved his hand. “I was just joking. If I really tried to comprehend it, I might not be able to comprehend the Mystic Water technique.”

Jian Yuxiang’s eyes contained a deep meaning as she smiled, “I look forward to Junior Brother’s performance tomorrow.”

After he finished speaking, she left the cave abode while pondering over what Cheng Xu had just said.

Cheng Xu looked at Jian Yuxiang’s departing figure and recalled the meaningful look in her eyes when she left. He frowned secretly.

“By the way, could this girl have already guessed that I know the Mystic Water technique?”

Cheng Xu didn’t think too much about it. If he guessed it, so be it. It wasn’t a big deal.

He then ran to the library and began to read the alchemy books.

After reading it all in one go, the level of [ potion crafting ] increased even more. However, the increase this time was not as great as before.

[Alchemy]

[Pharmacology level: Level 7]

[Refining ability: intermediate]

His Pharmacology level had only increased by one level, but his refining ability was still at the intermediate level.

it seems that the increase in quantity is not enough. The quality has to keep up.

At the thought of this, Cheng Xu immediately turned to the advanced alchemy manual area and began to read the data frantically.

After the CPU was upgraded to dual-core, it could read two files at the same time. In addition, the reading speed of the graphics card had increased after Level 3, so the reading efficiency had greatly improved.

Unknowingly, it was the next day.

The entire library cave was already empty, and everyone had already gathered at the competition venue.

After making sure that no one was around, Cheng Xu activated his evil eye and read all the remaining books in the advancement zone.

When he looked at the [Alchemy] application, it had already expanded to an unprecedented 735.9 MB. Excluding the 250MB of the medicinal mantra, it had a total of 485.9 MB of file size.

And this time, his [Alchemy] application had finally received a major upgrade.

[Alchemy]

[Pharmacology level: level 9]

[Refining ability: advanced ]

Cheng Xu could clearly feel that his understanding and standard of alchemy had made a huge leap.

“Looking at the time, the test should have already started, right?”

Walking out of the library, he walked confidently toward the competition venue.

All the members of the entire Medicine Immortal Valley had gathered in the venue, and the scene was very lively.

When Cheng Xu arrived, the match had just begun.

“Senior Brother, you’re finally here. Come, come, come, sit here ~!” Miao Changsheng quickly gestured for Cheng Xu to sit beside him.

Cheng Xu sat down, puzzled. “Master didn’t come? ”

“I don’t think he’ll be able to come out for a while. You know, ever since Master got the medicinal mantra, it’s like he’s been possessed.” Miao Changsheng sighed.

Cheng Xu nodded slightly. “Speaking of which, what are the rules of this competition? ”

“That’s simple. Do you see the ten circles marked in the middle? Contestants are free to fight within them. The last person standing in each of the circle will be among the top ten and enjoy the treatment that the top ten candidates enjoy. The rest of the disciples can only enjoy the standard treatment.”

“?!”Cheng Xu was slightly stunned.

‘Good Lord, it’s just an alchemy sect, why are they playing so wildly?’

“Then why don’t you go up and reserve a seat as soon as possible?” Cheng Xu asked, puzzled.

“There’s no rush. Right now, there are only some late-stage Qi cultivating disciples on the field. It’s not my turn yet.” Ever since Miao Changsheng reached the peak of the Qi Refinement stage, he was much more confident than before. “Besides, I was waiting for you, Senior Brother.”

Cheng Xu muttered to himself and nodded. He turned his gaze to the seats around the venue and found that Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang, the two favorites who were expected to win the championship, were both looking at him.

It was not just them. The Medicine Immortal Valley heavenly group, led by the sect leader, Dan Yang, was also looking at him. They were obviously looking forward to his performance.

“By the way, Senior Brother, do you want to play in the first arena?”

“That’s natural.” Cheng Xu smiled confidently.

On the other side, perhaps sensing Cheng Xu’s arrival, Tang Xuan no longer hesitated. He jumped into the arena and stood on the first ring.

As soon as the Foundation Establishment stage aura was released, the contestants on the side retreated one after another.

“Junior Brother Cheng, can you come up and let me feel your medicinal mantra?” Tang Xuan knew who his opponent was, so he directly sent an invitation to Cheng Xu.

For a moment, the entire arena was filled with excitement. Even many of the contestants who were fighting stopped and watched.

Cheng Xu naturally wouldn’t want to dampen everyone’s spirits. He smiled confidently and jumped into the ring.

“Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Senior Brother Tang. Please give me your guidance.”

Tang Xuan stared at Chen Xu. A month ago, he would never have thought that this Junior Brother who had just entered the sect would become his biggest competitor.

“Junior Brother, you’re too polite. This is a separate matter. Since we’re going to spar, there’s no need to hide it. I’d like to witness the power of the ancestor’s inheritance!” Tang Xuan’s fighting spirit rose.

“Then I’ll have to offend you, Junior Brother!”

Cheng Xu was joking on the surface, but he didn’t dare to be careless. After all, Tang Xuan was already in the Foundation Establishment?stage.

“Junior Brother Cheng, watch out!”

Tang Xuan didn’t waste any more time and attacked first.

His eyes flashed and an exquisite flying sword appeared in front of him. Under the control of a spell seal, it transformed into a golden sword light and shot toward Cheng Xu.

Cheng Xu was shocked. He did not expect Tang Xuan to use a sword.

He activated his third-level Protective Dipper energy and charged forward with the Setting Sun Finger.

Clang!

The energy of the Setting Sun Finger was easily dispersed by the flying sword, and it pierced the shield of dipper energy.

Cheng Xu subconsciously began to retreat. The Protective Dipper energy in front of him gradually cracked, and he was secretly surprised.

“Is this the power of the Foundation Establishment stage?”

Seeing that his Protective Dipper energy could no longer hold on, Cheng Xu no longer hesitated and lightly spat out the medicinal mantra.

“Qi!”

In the next moment, an ancient seal character “Qi” larger than a human appeared above Cheng Xu. The character was condensed from genuine Qi and exuded a daunting aura.

Tang Xuan, who was controlling the flying sword, turned pale with fright. The true energy in his body began to surge uncontrollably, and his control of the flying sword was also interrupted.

At the same time, Perfected Dan Yang and the other elders in the spectator area also widened their eyes.

This was because the Qi word above Cheng Xu’s head was now many times larger than before.

“Damn, how did the power of martial nephew Cheng’s medicinal law incantation increase so much all of a sudden?”

“That shouldn’t be the case. It’s only been half a month. How could his alchemy level have improved so much? ”

“Could it be that he was holding back when he used it on us last time?”

“Tsk, tsk, I’m afraid little Tang can’t hold on any longer!”

In the seat behind Elder Ma, Jian Yuxiang stared at the situation on the field, her expression uncertain.

“Is this the power of the medicinal mantra? It’s worthy of being the inheritance left behind by the ancestor.”

If it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t have any talent in alchemy, he really wanted to learn this medicinal mantra.
