Cultivation: Start From Upgrading My Computer

Chapter 9



Glorious Crimson Sutra

The architecture of the Medicine Immortal Valley was extremely suitable for the natural environment, making people feel very comfortable.

Following Miao Changsheng along the complicated mountain path and crossing an iron chain bridge that ran between two mountains, even those who were not afraid of heights would be scared to death.

Along the way, they met many Medicine Immortal Valley disciples, who simply nodded at each other, giving off a cold atmosphere.

“Why do I feel that our Medicine Immortal Valley disciples are not very active?” Cheng Xu was puzzled.

Miao Changsheng explained, “Everyone’s busy studying medicine and is too lazy to talk. I’m the most talkative person in the entire sect. Oh, that’s right. The sect leader’s branch is also quite lively. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even have anyone to talk to.”

Cheng Xu nodded in understanding.

“It’s okay, you’ll get used to it in the future.” Miao Changsheng grinned. The Book Cave is right in front. Try to keep your voice down after you enter.

“Alright,” he said. Cheng Xu nodded.

The library, I know!

As he walked into the cave, the view before him suddenly brightened up. Rather than calling it a cave, it was more like a huge Palace that was excavated from the mountain.

At a glance, there were ancient books and scrolls everywhere. The air was filled with the thick smell of books and the faint fragrance of herbs.

“There are labels on the bookshelves for easy reading. This jade slip contains the alchemy books that Master has carefully selected, ” Miao Changsheng explained. “As long as you can read these books thoroughly, you don’t have to read the other miscellaneous books. Senior Brother, make a copy yourself. I’ll go to the lower level to check for information.”

After he finished speaking, he left Cheng Xu behind and walked to the lower level of the library with familiarity.

Cheng Xu looked at the vast number of alchemy books in front of him, his eyes twinkling and his mouth salivating.

He only had 100MB of hard disk space left. It was obvious that he could not store so many high-end alchemy books.

Thus, he decisively found a corner with no one around and took out the nearly 20,000 spirit stones that he had collected from the corpses earlier. He then upgraded the hard drive to Level 3 on the spot.

The original 512MB hard drive was instantly upgraded to 1GB. His sea of consciousness was further expanded, and his spiritual power was also slightly improved.

After he was done, he spent 1,000 spirit stones to level up his sound card to Level 2.

Other than his hearing improving, there didn’t seem to be any substantial changes.

“How many spirit stones do I need to upgrade my hard drive to level four?”

He opened the panel of the cultivation computer and clicked on the hard disk upgrade. The materials required for the next level were displayed in front of him: 10,000 spirit stones and 10 crystal ores called [ Earth Spirit essence ].

“You’re starting to need materials?”

Cheng Xu furrowed his brows. It was obvious that after the hardware was upgraded to Level 3, it was no longer as simple as just needing spirit stones.

“Looks like I’ll have to use it sparingly.”

Originally, he had wanted to make money as soon as possible, fill up his hard disk, and then store all the alchemy books of the Medicine Immortal Valley in his bag.

Now, it seemed that he could only change his way of thinking.He started from the basics to the depths, gradually collecting the data.

Coming out from the corner, he followed the label on the bookshelf and searched for the ancient books that Perfected Chi Yao had pointed out in the jade slip.

As a guru in alchemy, Perfected Chi Yao naturally knew which books were more valuable. With this list of books and jade slips, Cheng Xu could save a lot of trouble.

After reading and installing the books, the applications of [ Alchemy ] rapidly expanded, and Cheng Xu’s potion refining ability was also steadily improving.

‘As expected of Master. There’s almost no repeated data!’

Unknowingly, the application size of [ Alchemy ] had expanded from 38.9 MB to 174.2 MB. However, there was still more than half of the books that he had to read.

[ Alchemy ]

[ Pharmacology level: Level 6 ]

[ Refining ability: intermediate ]

With so much refining data settled, he raised his Alchemy level from Level 3 to Level 6 in one go, but his refining ability was still at the intermediate level.

He could only say that the Dao of alchemy was far more extensive and profound than he imagined.

He still had a long way to go.

“Senior Brother, you’re here.” Miao Changsheng found Cheng Xu after checking the information. “It’s almost time for master to go back. Let’s head back first. There’s no rush. Just finish the books you just copied. We’ll have plenty of time in the future.”

The two of them chatted as they walked to the door and bumped into a handsome and elegant young man.

The young man was holding a folding fan in his hand and looked very elegant. When he saw Miao Changsheng, the corners of his mouth curled up into a playful smile. “Yo ~ Junior Brother Miao, I heard that you and Uncle Master were besieged by the demonic cultivators on Yuntai Mountain. Are you scared?”

“…”Miao Changsheng’s face turned sullen. He said angrily,”Thanks to Senior Brother Tang, I’m very good ~!”

“That’s good. I don’t want to nag at you, but although refining elixirs is important, you should also take some time to improve your strength. Don’t be like Uncle Master and become a laughing stock of the cultivation world.” The young man’s words were full of mockery.

“Okay, okay, okay. I know that your sect leader’s faction is the most powerful faction in the Medicine Immortal Valley. Will that do?”

Miao Changsheng was obviously sick of hearing that. He was not affected at all.

The young man with the paper fan emphasized in all seriousness, “I really don’t mean to mock you, Senior Brother. As the saying goes, good advice is unpleasant to the ear. Now that the demonic path has appeared and chaos is imminent, we alchemists should increase our own strength and seek self-protection.”

Miao Changsheng nodded after some thought. Senior Brother Tang is right this time.

“It’s good that you can think this way!” The young man with the paper fan nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Cheng Xu with interest. “This is…?”

“Master’s newly accepted disciple, who can only act as an in-name disciple for the time being due to some reasons. However, he will definitely become a personal disciple in the future.” Miao Changsheng introduced.

The young man clicked his tongue in wonder and couldn’t help but carefully size up Cheng Xu.

“Cheng Xu.” Cheng Xu cupped his fists and reported his name.

The young man with the paper fan also cupped his fists politely. “I’m Tang Xuan, the eldest disciple of the sect master, Daoist Master Dan Yang. Daoist Master Dan Yang and Perfected Chi Yao’s branch have always been on the same side. If you face any difficulties in the future, you can look for me.”

Cheng Xu smiled politely and did not say anything.

Tang Xuan opened his folding fan and said, “Although Junior Brother Cheng has become a disciple of Uncle Master, I still have to give you a few words of advice. Don’t just focus on studying medicine and neglect your cultivation and strength.”

Miao Changsheng rolled his eyes. “That’s enough, Senior Brother Tang. I’m just complimenting you, and you’re already so full of yourself. Your sect leader’s lineage is only decent in the Medicine Immortal Valley. Compared to the other sects ‘outstanding geniuses, what is he?”

“I don’t like what you’re saying. Our Medicine Immortal Valley has always advocated all-round development,” Tang Xuan said unhappily. “Why are we compared to those martial artists?”

Miao Changsheng snorted and forcefully dragged Cheng Xu away. “Let’s go, Senior Brother. Don’t listen to his nonsense.”

“Oh, you’re leaving just like that? I still want to chat with Junior Brother Cheng!”

“By the way, is the sect leader’s faction very strong?” Cheng Xu asked as he walked.

Miao Changsheng nodded his head. “The sect leader’s faction is indeed the main fighting force of the Medicine Immortal Valley. However, when it comes to refining medicine, it’s still our master’s faction. I feel that Senior Brother Tang’s point of view is correct. Refining elixirs and strength are equally important.”

“That’s true, but not everyone is suitable for cultivation and fighting.” Miao Changsheng obviously understood this. “Otherwise, Master wouldn’t have given the position of sect leader to Uncle Master back then.”

Cheng Xu nodded slightly. “Is Master very weak?”

“This… You’ll slowly experience it. I’ll put it this way,” Miao Changsheng said awkwardly. “Our master has no interest in cultivation or fighting. He’s only in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm now because of the elixirs.”

“Alright,” he said. Cheng Xu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He finally understood that Perfected Chi Yao was a pure alchemist expert, and his combat power couldn’t be said to be zero, but it could only be said to be pitifully little.

“According to Master, if it wasn’t for the sake of refining higher-grade medicinal pills and the little bit of longevity that cultivation brings, he wouldn’t even bother to use medicinal pills to improve his cultivation.”

“Master is really… pure!”

“However, Master doesn’t object to us spending time to improve our strength, so if Senior Brother is interested in cultivation, you can cultivate without worry.” Miao Changsheng laughed as he spoke. “Don’t fall behind too much in alchemy. It’ll be bad if your Junior Brother catches up to you. Haha!”

Cheng Xu smiled without saying anything.

It’s going to be a little difficult to catch up to him in terms of alchemy!

As they talked and laughed, the two of them had already returned to Perfected Chi Yao’s immortal’s cave.

“What do you think, Little Cheng? what’s your impression of the Medicine Immortal Valley?”

Seeing his two disciples return, Perfected Chi Yao asked with a smile.

“The spirit of the bell and the beauty of the jade, a paradise on earth.”

Perfected Chi Yao raised his head and laughed, then took out a special waist token with Cheng Xu’s name engraved on it. “Well, I’ll use this in-name disciple identity token for now.”

Cheng Xu silently hung his identity card on his waist, looking like a new person.

“By the way, you’re still cultivating the minor cloud technique of the Yunzhong sect, right?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Although the cloud technique isn’t bad, it’s only a simplified version of the cloud technique. Now that you’ve become my disciple, you should naturally cultivate my Medicine Immortal Valley’s cultivation techniques,” Perfected Chi Yao stroked his beard and said with a smile.

“Please enlighten me, Master,” Cheng Xu said expectantly.

“This is the ‘Glorious Crimson Sutra’, a cultivation technique of the Chi Yao lineage. It’s a fire and wood dual-attribute cultivation technique that is extremely suitable for alchemy. After cultivating it, it can effectively improve your control over the heat and medicinal properties.” Perfected Chi Yao solemnly introduced, “Other than that, the Glorious Crimson Sutra is also a very powerful combat technique. Unfortunately, I’ve been too engrossed in the Dao of alchemy and medicine to unleash the true power of the Glorious Crimson Sutra.”

As he said this, he pointed his finger in the air and injected the technique of the Glorious Crimson Sutra into Cheng Xu’s consciousness through his spiritual will.

At the same time, Cheng Xu also received a system notification.

Ding! Ding!

“Data installation package detected. Do you want to install it?”

Cheng Xu didn’t even think about it. He immediately confirmed the installation and sat down cross-legged.

This “Glorious Crimson Sutra” was actually 59MB in size, and the installation speed was much slower than Cheng Xu had expected.

From this, it could be seen that the Perfected Chi Yao wasn’t bragging. The Glorious Crimson Sutra was indeed a rather high-end cultivation technique.

“I’ll slowly comprehend it after I return. Uh…”

Seeing that Cheng Xu had started to study the [ Glorious Crimson Sutra ] on the spot, both General Chi Yao and Miao Changsheng were a little surprised.

After all, for two people with poor cultivation qualifications, it would take them at least ten days to half a month to comprehend it.

Even those cultivation geniuses would need at least two to three days to fully understand it.

“Fine, I’ll let him stay here to comprehend.” Perfected Chi Yao smiled helplessly and motioned for Miao Changsheng to leave.

Not long after Miao Changsheng left, Perfected Chi Yao went to the alchemy room and immersed himself in the study of medicine.

After an unknown amount of time…

“Ding! The installation is successful.”

Cheng Xu opened his eyes in joy. He had successfully cultivated the first realm of the Glorious Crimson Sutra. Next, he just had to spend some time to replace the true Qi in his body with the true Qi in the Glorious Crimson Sutra.

However, he had to admit that the Glorious Crimson Sutra was indeed impressive. It actually took him more than two hours to install it.

Only the Evil Eye of 10,000 technique had been installed for more than two hours.
