Chapter 009: Master, is my cultivation progress unreasonable

Therefore, such a miracle can only be accomplished by the two of them

In the entire cultivation world, there is no one who can match Ye Ling's speed, as long as they do not rely on consuming heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Bai Yiyi's wine-red eyes sparkled with a brilliance akin to that of the stars, yet although she was calling Ye Ling "obedient disciple" with her lips, her actions resembled those of someone worshipping an academic elite.

Ye Ling, immersed in the exhilarating sensation of breakthrough, could not help but let out a series of moans

Ye Ling furrowed her elegant brows slightly, feigning a look of contemplation

Among the methods known to the cultivators, only elixirs or rare treasures can achieve this. However, Ye Ling has directly advanced to the third stage of Qi Refinement solely by absorbing spiritual energy, which is sufficient to demonstrate his innate talent for cultivation.

People are categorized into three, six, and nine ranks, and geniuses are similarly classified into three, six, and nine ranks

The recent attempt to simplify the steps of cultivation was unsuccessful, yet he remains undeterred. After all, no matter how easily Bai Yiyi can be deceived, it does not mean that he can dictate everything. This minor setback was within his expectations

Ye Ling supported his chin with his hand, observing Bai Yiyi's expression as he spoke: "When I encounter a difficult problem, I first break down the problem into simple steps, and then tackle them one by one"

Unfortunately, Bai Yiyi shook her head and said, "Although the Qi Refining Stage is simple, it is not as easy as you say. The most important thing is to break through the bottleneck. However, from what I observed just now, it seems that you do not have a bottleneck."

During the first breakthrough, he felt a tremendous transformation in his body; the subsequent two breakthroughs directly formed a continuous series of three, leaving him breathless with pleasure

So, why can't the Qi Refinement stage be divided into one hundred segments

This is no longer a matter of whether one is a genius; it can be described as monstrous

Task Progress (1 / 3)

Can worship also add points

It is a ghost

However, with Ye Ling's speed, she is likely to break through the Qi Refinement stage in less than half a month—she is unaware of the existence of the system

Bottlenecks exist to varying degrees, which is why the concept of breakthroughs is discussed

Meanwhile, Ye Ling also received a message transmitted by the system

Good disciple, how did you manage to do it

Master, when I was at the foot of the mountain, I once learned a method to solve the problem of the graph-book difficulty

Sometimes, the gap between geniuses is even greater than that between humans and dogs

Ye Ling began to understand the system mechanism, and with a thought, he immediately claimed the system reward

Even during the Qi Refinement stage, one cannot leap two levels in a single bound; at the very least, Bai Yiyi has never witnessed such a thing

To be promoted three ranks in just a moment is simply unbelievable; even if this news were to be shared with the outside world, not a single cultivator would believe it

Bai Yiyi continued to speak, expressing her genuine concerns while also seeking advice from Ye Ling.

Seeing Bai Yiyi display a gradually understanding expression, Ye Ling posed another question

However, in reality, only Ye Ling is aware that without the system, he would not be able to achieve such a feat

Bai Yiyi's perception was not mistaken; aside from not being aware of the system's existence, Ye Ling was indeed a rare and exquisite piece of uncut jade. With just a little polishing, the charming brilliance within could be revealed

No, if I become too agitated, my obedient disciple will surely think that the Heavenly Gate is nothing extraordinary and will definitely descend the mountain

However, similarly, she has always been aware that there are geniuses in this world, so even though Ye Ling performed a triple jump in front of her, she genuinely recognized such speed from the bottom of her heart

Absorb the spiritual energy, then let the energy flow into the dantian. Isn't cultivation this simple?

Faced with Ye Ling's calm demeanor, Bai Yiyi also realized that she had been somewhat too agitated

Everyone encounters bottlenecks, regardless of who they are; however, these bottlenecks can vary in size, and no one is exempt from this phenomenon

Upon thinking of this, Bai Yiyi quickly suppressed the excitement in her heart, forcing herself to calm down, and slowly said: "R-reasonable... your master and her companions... also at this speed."

Ye Ling's performance completely exceeded Bai Yiyi's expectations, as she looked at Ye Ling as if she were observing a monster

Fearing that Bai Yiyi might not understand, he further illustrated his point by saying: "It's like cultivating immortality; why is there a division of ten stages in the Qi Refinement period, yet only three stages in the subsequent realms: early, middle, and late? I believe this was done by the sages for the convenience of future generations to enter the practice, which is why the Qi Refinement period is divided into ten stages"

Moreover, since it is impossible to simplify the steps of cultivation, let us eliminate the bottleneck and the diagram book

Bai Yiyi feels a sense of frustration towards the host + 85

Perhaps due to having faced a setback once before, the gains this time are not substantial

However, I am concerned that you may be cultivating too quickly, so please tell me how you have achieved this, in order to avoid any potential risks

In Bai Yiyi's heart, her junior sisters are all extraordinary geniuses, but compared to Ye Ling, they fall short by a margin. At the very least, she has not seen her junior sisters advance as effortlessly as eating and drinking.

Bai Yiyi, with her wide wine-red eyes, looked at Ye Ling with an expression of disbelief, stammering as she said: "The third stage of the Qi Refinement period..."

Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy appeared abruptly in his dantian. The spiritual energy, which was originally still a short distance from breaking through the critical point, instantly allowed Ye Ling to once again experience the exhilarating sensation of advancement with the addition of this energy

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Ling felt as if he had discovered the secret to wealth. With a calm expression, he tentatively asked, "Master, is my cultivation progress unreasonable?"

... ...

To be honest, he originally intended to "contain" the spiritual energy and then directly receive the system rewards from the *illustrated* book, thus avoiding the risk of his dantian being overwhelmed by the spiritual energy.

Having successfully completed the previous trial, Ye Ling intended to continue making efforts to accomplish another part of the task

Thus, after taking a moment to compose himself, he realized that Bai Yiyi was looking at him with a face full of admiration

Bai Yiyi experiences a strong sense of frustration towards the host + 315

Meanwhile, a line of small text appeared on Ye Ling's side, indicating that his cultivation speed had gained Bai Yiyi's recognition

After all, she could not learn anything from the Six Arts, while her junior sisters could master it with just a glance—sometimes the gap between people is even greater than that between humans and dogs

Hoo ... ...

The text provided does not contain any content to translate.

However, the purity of this spiritual energy is so high that it naturally transforms into his true energy without the need for refinement, akin to the effects of consuming rare and precious materials, and it has no toxic side effects.

Is it a bottleneck

Bai Yiyi develops a sense of admiration for the host + 43

Of course, this is something only Bai Yiyi can accomplish. If it were someone else, the mixed spiritual energy, which is tainted with numerous impurities, must be refined before it can transform into true energy and be stored in the dantian.

Even if Bai Yiyi is somewhat oblivious, she still possesses the fundamental knowledge of the cultivation world
