Stuck in a Chinese novel

Just as Wei Jun swallowed the pill, the next moment a few notifications appeared in his view along with a warm sensation in his abdomen but it all disappeared the next moment.

"That…. was anticlimactic." From the novel that Wei Jun had read, he thought that just like Run Long, who went through tremendous pain and a multitude of changes when he cultivated, Wei Jun would also go through the same but all it took was a few seconds and Wei Jun was now a cultivator.

'So, now what?' Wei Jun asked the only person who was knowledgeable in terms of Qi cultivation.

[Now you have to learn a breathing technique and apply it to attract Qi]

'How do I do that?' Wei Jun asked.

[You remember Luo Chen helping Zhan Yi and Quan Li, right?]

'Yeah.'

[Well, that was a breathing technique]

[A method to circulate Qi within your body along with your breathing which would create more space for your Qi in your body]

'So I need a cultivation manual? Then buying an expensive one would have different effects?'

[If you purchase a D-tier cultivation manual, it will increase your Qi stat by 1 after a month]

[But if you used an SSS tier manual, then it might not even take an hour for your Qi stat to increase by one]

[Of course the more the stat increases, the more circulations it would require]

[There would come a time when even with a divine ranked cultivation technique, you will have to complete thousands of circulations for just one stat point of Qi]

Wei Jun nodded and opened the shop to check for the cultivation manuals. The explanation was easy to understand but Wei Jun didn't have enough budget for high-rank cultivation manuals.

[Buddha's cultivation technique: 10,000,000 gold]

[Phoenix's rage cultivation technique: 50,000,000 gold]

[Dragon's blood cultivation technique: 100,000,000 gold]

Wei Jun couldn't even dream to buy these for now given that he had to suck the Tian family's hidden fund for just a billion yuan. He doubted that his own family would even have enough money for him.

It was good news that Wei Jun could still transition from lower-ranked cultivation techniques to higher-ranked cultivation techniques so he decided to go with a cheaper one for now and will purchase a higher-ranked one down the line.

The current cash he possessed was 59 million yuan and the cultivation technique in his price range was only this one.

[Wenyuan cultivation technique: 500,000 coins]

It was an B-tier cultivation technique and it was the highest among all the B-tier cultivation techniques. Wei Jun purchased it and a book appeared in his hand.

[Would you like to learn the Wenyuan cultivation technique?]

[Once a technique is learned, it will permanently consume the cultivation slots available to the user]

[Current slots 0\\3]

[Would you like to proceed?]

'What is this crap?' Wei Jun asked the system about the notifications because he didn't understand them one bit.

[It is the limit of the cultivation techniques you can learn]

[Usually, a person can only learn one technique but thanks to the system, you can learn three at once]

[But once a slot is taken by a technique, it will be permanently consumed]

[However, at a slight cost, it can be removed from the slot]

'What cost?'

[Cost is always random]

[Sometimes in the form of stats or sometimes in the form of money]

[Sometimes, on rare occasions, it can also be in the form of levels]

'I see.' Wei Jun wasn't happy with this system. Since the risk of levels was too great, he could risk it which meant, he could only learn three cultivation techniques. But it didn't change anything, he was still going to learn this one because it was the only one he could right now.

"Yes." Wei Jun said out loud and the book began to disappear from his hand. Once it was gone, a set of notifications appeared in his vision.

[Qi +1]

[You are now a 'Qi sense realm' cultivator]

[All stats +2]

[You have learned the skill: Qi armament]

[You have learned the skill: Qi empowerment]

[You have learned the skill: Qi discharge]

A number of notifications appeared in his view. Wei Jun checked all of them and he was quite satisfied. Wei Jun decided to hold off checking the skills because there were still a few notifications left.

[You have taken baby steps into the world of cultivation]

[Like a good adult, the system will guide you by your hands]

Wei Jun didn't like the analogy used but he ignored it and continued reading.

[The tutorial will now begin]

[Good luck]

Wei Jun's vision went black and once it all cleared up, Wei Jun was standing with nothing but darkness all around him. Wei Jun didn't know what to do when a notification appeared.

[Assume a relaxed position]

[Qi circulation will now begin]

Wei Jun sat cross-legged even though it wasn't a requirement]

As he did, he could feel a warm energy being pulled out from his abdomen.

[Please follow the flow of the Qi]

[Breath slowly with the intervals as shown]

A notification appeared asking him to breathe according to a set of conditions. Wei Jun decided to follow it and once that was done, another notification appeared.

[Please remember the acupoints the Qi follows through]

[The Qi would first pass through your Xianan acupoints…]

A lengthy explanation was given which although Wei Jun memorized, he wasn't very knowledgeable in terms of acupoints so although he skimmed that part, he did remember how the Qi was being moved and which areas would it remain longer than the rest or which areas were just shortly passed through.

The entire process lasted about ten minutes and once it was done, a notification appeared in his view.

[You have successfully completed a Qi circulation]

[Tutorial will now end]

Wei Jun's vision once again went blank and when it came to again, he was back in his office.

He felt refreshed, much more than he had ever felt before. It was as if his fatigue had all washed away and his mind was clear to perceive his surroundings. Not only that, his senses were a little more sensitive than before and he could even hear people walking and talking outside his office.

'So this is what it feels like being a cultivator.' Wei Jun commented before he closed his eyes and began to cultivate. He circulated his Qi exactly how he was shown in tutorial and he kept doing it for an hour before he felt a slight change in him. But it was very slight that only he could pick up with his sharpness.

His Qi stat didn't increase at all but he could understand that. As the system had said, only higher-tier cultivation techniques could raise his stats fast. Wei Jun had a B tier one so he couldn't expect a change after just an hour.

Wei Jun once again closed his eyes but told the system to let him know when there was an hour left before the evening gym session. Once he began to cultivate, he cut focus with everything from the world, it was as if his surroundings didn't matter. The only thing in his mind was that little yellow line that followed his will and passed through his body.

He remembered to breathe exactly as he was told. He was fully cut off from the world, only his breathing and his focus on the little yellow line were all on his mind. He didn't know how much time had passed. He just felt as if he was floating through the space.

Calm, desolate, devoid of any distractions. That's how his whole being currently was. He kept completing the circulation after circulation. He must have done it at least a hundred times now when the system informed him of the time. There was a way of delivering information in the system's wording as if it was timed with his circulation.

Wei Jun didn't know why the system did that but he could guess why. He had come across the term Qi deviation before and he guessed that it was related to that. The system knew cultivation best so it knew when to deliver the information so as to not risk Wei Jun falling into Qi deviation.

Wei Jun stopped and opened his eyes. It was starting to get dark outside and when he checked the time, it was around six. There was still some time before the gym session.

Wei Jun checked the notification that appeared in his view.

[Your efforts have borne fruits]

[Qi +1]

After a four-hour Qi cultivation session, his Qi stat had increased by one. It wasn't a massive increase but Wei Jun didn't mind. It was a new power and he wanted to slowly walk through it rather than speeding through it with a car.

Slow and steady progress was always better than fast and crude accomplishments.

'Now that that's out of the way, mind telling me why I feel like I'm going through puberty?' Wei Jun asked as he gazed down at his groin area.

[The Qi gathered by men is Yang Qi]

[The one you are practicing accumulates higher quality of Yang Qi]

[Yang Qi is also known as scorching Qi]

[It stimulates every part of the human body]

[Including that]

'What does that mean?'

[It means you may run out of stamina but you will never run out of stamina down there]

'That's a useful aspect of Qi cultivation.' Wei Jun remarked before he stood up, feeling refreshed, and made his way out of his office.
