System Of Endless Cultivation

Not long after Lin Ning'er left, Lin Xia came to visit Eryx. She smiled at him and said, "Brother Eryx, my master wants to see you."

Eryx was a little surprised, not understanding why her master wanted to see him. But he didn't ask and just followed her.

Lin Xia led him to a house where Lin Jiaxu was sitting comfortably and drinking tea. When they entered, Lin Jiaxu looked at Eryx and then shifted her gaze to Lin Xia.

Lin Xia seemed to understand and left.

Lin Jiaxu then nodded at Eryx, saying, "Come, sit."

Eryx sat down opposite Lin Jiaxu, feeling a little nervous. He saw Lin Jiaxu taking a small bag out of nowhere, placing it in front of him, and said, "This is a storage bag. You can put many things inside it that cannot be carried normally. It will keep them safe, and they won't take up space."

When Eryx heard it, he inwardly shouted: 'Isn't this an item more like those of spatial rings described in novels back on Earth!'

Lin Jiaxu explained more about the storage bag, telling him that it could store anything he wanted and that it was very convenient for traveling. She also taught Eryx how to use this bag. Then, she said, "There are also 200 Low-Grade Spirit Stones inside. You can use them for a long time to help with your cultivation."

Eryx's eyes lit up with excitement. He was very grateful and immediately thanked her, "Thank you, Sect Leader! Thank you so much!"

How can he not be excited?

The thing he lacked the most and needed urgently was Energy Points, and these 200 Spirit Stones could provide him with 2,000 Energy Points. This amount of energy could significantly boost his strength, allowing him to progress by leaps and bounds. There was a strong possibility that he could reach the Core Formation Realm with this much energy.

Lin Jiaxu smiled softly at his enthusiasm. But then Eryx thought of something and asked nervously, "Sect Leader, do you have a technique that can hide someone's cultivation? I would like to learn it."

Lin Jiaxu frowned slightly. She observed Eryx for a few seconds, curious why Eryx would want such a skill. A bit of suspicion appeared in her eyes. She asked, "Why do you need to hide your cultivation, Eryx?"

Eryx noticed her doubt and quickly explained, "Lin Ning'er asked me to go with her to the city tomorrow to sell the pills she is going to make. That made me think... in the future, I will probably visit other cities, and sometimes, I might be alone. I don't want to attract too much attention to myself. If possible, I want to stay low-key."

Lin Jiaxu listened carefully and nodded slightly. She thought about his Elemental Spirit Body, realizing it could indeed cause Eryx problems. Although only Earth Rank, Eryx's body is indeed special and rare. If people find out, it could attract attention from powerful families or sects. They might want him to join them, and if he refuses, some could even try to harm him or worse.

This world is too dangerous. The more careful a person is, the better. Cultivating a concealing technique is indeed one of the ways to protect oneself.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiaxu nodded, saying, "Since you have asked, I will teach you a skill to hide your cultivation. But remember, this skill is only a Profound Rank technique. It can hide your cultivation from the eyes of Golden Core Realm warriors at most. People above Golden Core Realm can still see through your cultivation."

Eryx nodded quickly, feeling grateful again, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Sect Leader! I will definitely remember that."

Lin Jiaxu nodded and then pointed her finger at Eryx's forehead.

Immediately, many pieces of information flooded into Eryx's mind. Together, they formed a skill called Qi Concealment Art.

As the name itself says, Qi Concealment Art could conceal Eryx's Qi and aura, thus hiding the true level of his cultivation from cultivators up to the Golden Core Realm.

Eryx was stunned by the fact that Lin Jiaxu could actually send information directly into his mind just by pointing her finger at his forehead.

This was fascinating.

This also explains the fact that Lin Jiaxu's cultivation far surpasses the Golden Core Realm. This is very obvious actually. After all, even two of her disciples are Golden Core Realm cultivators.

Now that Eryx had already received the storage bag and Qi Concealment Art from Lin Jiaxu, it was time for him to leave. He thanked Lin Jiaxu again and left.

Watching Eryx's retreating figure, Lin Jiaxu softly muttered, "These 200 Low-grade Spirit Stones should be enough to help him build a solid foundation and break into the Foundation Establishment Realm. He might even rise two or three levels. With Elemental Spirit Body, it should take less than ten days. Still, I'll wait and see how long it takes him to reach the Second Realm of Qi Cultivation."

.....

Eryx returned to his room and immediately took out the Storage Bag. With the help of Qi, he was roughly able to estimate that the bag had about 50 square meters of space. He could also sense a pile of Spirit Stones placed in a corner.

Unfortunately, only Core Formation Realm cultivators can awaken their spiritual sense. Otherwise, with the help of Spiritual Sense, he could have clearly observed the space inside the Storage Bag instead of roughly estimating things.

With the help of his Qi, he immediately brought out the 200 Spirit Stones.

⟪200 Low-Grade Spirit Stones: 2,000 Points⟫

Extract!

Almost immediately, 200 Spirit Stones turned into powder.

Now, Eryx has a total of 2030 Energy Points.

Previously, the System told him that he needed at least 200 Energy Points to advance to the Second Realm of Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment Realm.

He invested 80 Points of High-level Energy to rise from the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining to the Seventh Layer.

Now, he needed to invest 120 Energy Points to build his foundation.

Thus, without thinking much, he first invested 150 Energy Points just to be sure. After all, the system used the "at least" word in its statement before.

[You have invested 150 High-Level Energy Points in your cultivation!]

[You started circulating the Profound Rank Cultivation Method, Flowing Vitality Breathing Technique. Immediately, a vast amount of Qi surged inside your body. Your cultivation started increasing and in a very short period, you broke through to the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining.]

[You advanced to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining!]

[You've reached the peak of Qi Refining and started building your foundation.]

[The spiritual energy inside your body begins to gather and condense. It forms a strong, stable base in your dantian, which is also the energy center in your body. The energy slowly builds layer by layer, becoming denser and purer.]

[As the foundation grows stronger, the flow of energy in your meridians becomes smoother and more powerful.]

[Just like that, time started passing. Unfortunately, due to lack of energy, if you chose to break through just now, although your foundation would be strong, it wouldn't be the strongest. It is better to invest another 100 Points of High-Level Energy to create the strongest foundation.]

Due to his previous experience, he was already ready for any suggestion given by the system.

When Eryx saw this, he immediately invested another 100 Points of energy without wasting a second.

[Fortunately, you acted immediately. The energy in your dantian started becoming purer and denser again. It took a while, but you finally built the strongest foundation and broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.]

[The strongest foundation is also known as the Heavenly Foundation, said to be capable of holding the most energy and giving cultivators the greatest potential. With the Heavenly Foundation, your path in cultivation becomes smoother, and you can grow faster and stronger.]

Unlike the Qi Refinement Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm doesn't have any layers.

Foundation Establishment Realm was there just to establish a foundation strong enough to withstand the weight of cultivation after the transformation of energy into a core.

Now that Eryx had already built his foundation and entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, all he needed was to spend time to transform the energy inside his dantian into a core, thus entering the Core Formation Realm.

However, before that, Eryx still had some things that needed to be done.

He received the cultivation from the system. Immediately, his aura started rising, and in no time, he advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The instant he advanced, inside a different house, Lin Jiaxu opened her eyes and looked in his direction.

She was shocked and stood up immediately.

"How can he be so fast? It hasn't even been a day, yet he built his foundation from the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining! What is going on?"

Lin Jiaxu was puzzled. If not for the fact that it was nighttime, she would have barged into Eryx's room to look for an answer.

Eryx's immediate advancement was completely out of her expectations. She thought he would take at least a few days, but he only took a few minutes after obtaining Spirit Stones from her.

"There is definitely something extraordinary about him!"
