Chapter 5: Treating a Dead Horse as if it Were Alive

Although I have passed the age of being too idealistic, deep down in my subconscious, there is still a hint of anticipation, a bit of curiosity, or rather, trying to salvage a hopeless situation.

The monitor's reply was concise and to the point. Upon seeing such a message, Song Hao was not surprised.

Masters can soar through the clouds, drive through the mist, move mountains and fill seas, pluck stars and retrieve the moon. However, all these supernatural abilities are obtained through arduous cultivation.

Song Hao's face showed a hint of hesitation. In just half an hour, he had already consumed two bottles of beer. For a master, this was just an appetizer, but he didn't actually enjoy drinking. Naturally, his tolerance for alcohol was lacking. Two bottles of beer were already quite a lot, and if he continued drinking, the consequences would be quite unpleasant.

However, this idea has not yet turned around, and new changes have occurred. The beer has turned into a warm energy, flowing through the limbs and the whole body as if soaking in a hot spring, feeling comfortably warm.

Although absurd, Song Hao remembers the content inside very clearly, and the so-called mnemonic, in his opinion, is also quite simple.

Another sip of beer swallowed into the stomach, but this time Song Hao didn't burp, instead, he felt very comfortable, as if... As if it were a hot summer day, and suddenly swallowed a sip of frozen drink, like that.

Taolu, it seems that Wang Yukun is not so rigid. Beneath his stern appearance, he hides a talent for courting death.

Ordinary people eat just to sustain their lives, and the energy produced is minimal. Even if they eat more, they cannot gain more strength; instead, the side effects are obvious... Every festival, they gain ten pounds.

However, such a feeling was enough to make Song Hao feel shocked.

Unconsciously, Song Hao began to follow the instructions in the manual.

The class leader also replied instantly, appearing very understanding. Song Hao felt a bit grateful at first, but the subsequent phrase "expressing condolences" carries several meanings

There is definitely no miraculous cure, which the casual cultivators cannot produce, and the disciples of prestigious sects would not do so either.

Song Hao did not hesitate, silently reciting the secret technique in his heart, and drank the contents of the cup in one gulp. Sure enough, he not only did not feel the slightest discomfort, but instead felt refreshed, as if he had taken a dose of body tempering liquid from a martial arts novel.

His consciousness was somewhat blurred, but at this moment, he inexplicably remembered the introductory manual on cultivating immortality that he had dreamed of.

Nowhere to hide, so he reluctantly accepted the other party's admiration and congratulations, with a smile on his face that was even uglier than crying: "Damn!"

Is it really not a dream?

Every pore on the body opened up, comfortable.

... ...

In simple terms, the first step in cultivating immortality is to strengthen one's physical strength

Having just begun the path of cultivation, a mortal body consuming heavenly materials and earthly treasures will only result in being unable to withstand the consequences, leading to a counterproductive outcome, and ultimately falling into an irretrievable state.

Moreover, gathering once at the beginning of the school year is a tradition for Song Hao and his class

Rather than avoiding it, it is better to face it proactively. After all, it is merely a trivial matter of mockery and teasing, as if no one has ever gone through it... However, Song Hao truly has not experienced it, and thus, when confronted with the enthusiasm of his classmates, he quickly succumbed.

Understood

Song Hao is not being disrespectful; rather, he is currently in a strong position and does not wish to give that group of individuals the opportunity to observe him.

It is very simple, eating. At the beginning, one consumes ordinary food, and the human body naturally has a digestive system that can absorb the energy within and convert it into strength

But where does the strength come from? Although Song Hao does not know whether there is a law of conservation of energy in the cultivation world, it can be said that a person's strength does not arise from nothing.

Under normal circumstances, Song Hao would have politely declined, as they are classmates and the other party would not insist. However, times have changed; if he does not drink, this fellow is bound to make sarcastic remarks about him.

This is organized and notified by the class monitor, usually by @ mentioning everyone in the class group. However, there are often individuals who are not online, so Wang Yukun will also send a group text message once.

Without saying anything else, this sentence is truly impressive, enough to shatter one's worldview into pieces.

However, the situation is different for cultivators. With the aid of their cultivation mantras, the food they consume can be transformed into energy, enhancing their strength and refining their physique. In simple terms, even ordinary food can have a body tempering effect. Of course, this process is gradual.

The urging of my classmate reached my ears; he had already downed his drink in one go, while I merely took a sip and stopped. Naturally, he was unwilling to let it go, stating that if I did not drink, we would no longer be friends

Even the mind, which had become hazy from excessive drinking, suddenly became clear, with thoughts sharp and agile, as if the previous state of confusion were merely an illusion

Spiritual power is still too distant for a novice cultivator who has just embarked on the path of cultivation. The first step is to diligently build strength and strengthen the muscles and bones.

The only flaw is that this feeling comes quickly and departs just as swiftly; in the blink of an eye, the sense of comfort vanishes without a trace, yet the mind is thoroughly awakened

The other party drank it all in one go, but Song Hao had only taken two sips when he felt a tumultuous wave of discomfort in his stomach.

Class dinner tonight at 6pm at Joyful Restaurant. Will you come?

To pursue immortality, one must eat more meals

Is it really useful? Is the method genuine?

It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided. Unexpectedly, Mr. Song ended up attending the class reunion dinner.

Regarding this matter, Song Hao still had a good impression, so he quickly replied: "What is it?"

Beer is brewed from wheat. Although wheat is a grain, it contains relatively little energy, thus it only has a very weak effect on body tempering

Two bottles of beer were already Song Hao's limit; at this moment, although his consciousness was not blurred, his head was feeling dizzy, and he had lost the ability to think

How does one acquire strength

It is quite simple; they lack the opportunity and the appropriate cultivation methods to complement each other, making it naturally impossible for them to embark on the path of immortality.

Compared to more than a decade ago, today's university students have much more financial freedom. While high consumption is not feasible, going out for a meal occasionally has become an essential experience

These individuals do not harbor any malicious intent, yet they will show no mercy when it comes to causing harm. If it were just one or two Song Hao, he could still manage, but if the entire class were to confront him together, he would truly be powerless to retaliate

The records in the classics seem reasonable, but what exactly is cultivating immortality? Song Hao has long passed the age of being a teenager, and his mind is sound, so naturally he wouldn't attempt it... Well, under normal circumstances he wouldn't, but that doesn't include now.

Do not go!

It's over, it's over, today is the end.

"Come, Brother Song Hao, I toast to you; my admiration for you is like the endless flow of the Yangtze River." A short male classmate wearing black-framed glasses stepped forward and, without further ado, insisted on clinking glasses with Song Hao

Song Hao's gaze swept across, and he noticed a group of classmates waiting in line around him. Suddenly, he had an epiphany; these guys had clearly made up their minds to carry him back today.

宋皓的第一反应却不是惊喜, 而是疑惑, 毕竟用十八年时间建立起来的世界观不是那么容易崩塌的, 或许是巧合, 世界上怎么可能真有修仙这种事呢?

Everyone is clear about this point, but here comes the problem. Ordinary people eat every day, but they don't see themselves becoming immortal.
