Chapter 2: Enhancing One's Cultivation

"Why can I only exchange 276 points? Aren't there still 30 points left?" Huang Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.

If one continues to use the flying knife technique to kill wild wolves, the speed is too slow. It is necessary to increase one's attack power. The best method is to use life energy to exchange for cultivation, thereby enhancing one's strength. As the cultivation level increases, the attack power naturally increases as well. Currently, I have 306 points of life energy, which can be exchanged for up to the sixth level of Qi training, requiring 210 points of life energy. Upon reaching the sixth level of Qi training, my attack power can increase by 21 points. Thus, combined with my original attack power and the bonus from the fruit knife, my total attack power can reach 27 points, while the wild wolf's defense is only 13 points. This makes it much easier to kill the wild wolf. Sharpening the knife does not delay the work of chopping wood; exchanging for cultivation is undoubtedly the correct choice.

What?" Huang Yu exclaimed, "Are you saying that if I don't earn life energy now, I will only have 306 days left to live, not even a full year?"

The capital for survival is strength and the power of knowledge. Indeed, I must strive harder to earn the energy of life, so that I can exchange it for sufficient cultivation, enabling myself to grow stronger rapidly. In other words, I need to engage in more battles to level up. With this thought, Huang Yu's eyes brightened as he had already determined his first goal, which is also a long-term objective

This life energy is equivalent to your lifespan; one point of life energy corresponds to one day of life. Moreover, life energy can also be used to exchange for cultivation. In the True Martial Continent, the levels of strength for cultivators can be divided into nine realms: Qi Refinement, Innate, Yuan Dan, Human Infant, Yuan Shen, Thunder Tribulation, Yin Yang, Life and Death, and Fragmentation. Each realm can be further divided into nine levels. To exchange for the first level of Qi Refinement requires ten points of life energy, the second level requires twenty points, and so on. To exchange for the ninth level of Qi Refinement, a total of ninety points of life energy is needed.

Ding, congratulations to the player for reaching the sixth level of Qi Refinement

Huang Yu

Lulu, grant me the exchange of cultivation

I can now exchange for the sixth level of Qi Refinement, so I will exchange for the sixth level of Qi Refinement. Huang Yu did not hesitate at all; cultivation is the most important thing. Moreover, after killing these wild wolves, I should be able to obtain at least seventy to eighty points of life energy. Although it won't completely replenish my energy, it will restore a portion of it.

Level: 1 (1/20)

The enhancements in attack, defense, and evasion have significantly improved my overall strength, making me several times stronger than before. Now, dealing with wild wolves has become much easier for me, and this is simply exhilarating.

Looking at the more than ten wild wolves remaining not far away, Huang Yu felt even more excited. Among this pack of wolves, there was a wolf king. If he could kill all these wild wolves, he would gain a considerable income. On the ground, he might not be able to defeat them, especially not a wild wolf that was five levels higher than himself, but now he was in a tree, and wolves could not climb trees. This was an opportunity that must not be wasted

Because the master still needs to survive, if life can be completely consumed, the master would be equivalent to being dead. The master needs to consume a bit of life energy every day along with the illustrations and books, Lulu said

However, the master cannot simply obtain life energy by continuously killing chickens. If the master's level reaches 5 while the wild chicken is only at level 1, the master's level will exceed that of the wild chicken by 4 levels, and killing the chicken will no longer yield life energy. Furthermore, if the master wishes to gain sufficient cultivation to become strong enough, it is essential to engage in constant training to grow stronger; otherwise, it will be very difficult for the master to survive in this world. Lulu continued, "Because for each level the master increases, only a small amount of attack, defense, and evasion is gained. Only when the cultivation becomes stronger will the master's attack, defense, and evasion become more formidable, thus enhancing the master's overall strength, which is necessary for survival."

Understood. Huang Yu has already heard the system prompt, at this moment, Huang Yu opened his character attribute panel

Sect: None

Life energy: 96

I reviewed my character attributes

After suffering a significant setback, Huang Yu no longer inquired about how long it would take to reach the maximum level, as it was simply too disheartening

Huang Yu's lips curled into a faint smile

Indeed, if I only need to kill one chicken each day, then I can gain a bit of life energy from m.hetushucom.com, which would grant me an additional day of life. If I were to kill ten chickens in a day, wouldn't that mean I would have a surplus of nine points of life energy? Would I still need to worry about not being able to survive? Huang Yu thought of this and felt increasingly pleased. He had been so preoccupied with his gloom that he hadn't even considered this simple logic. Had he really become foolish after his transmigration?

Attack: 3 + 3

Life energy: 306

Tragic, tragic, tragic, how can one word encapsulate such despair? If I were on Earth, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I could live for at least a hundred or eighty years. Yet, inexplicably, I have acquired an all-encompassing cultivation system and arrived in this so-called True Martial Continent, where I find I can only live for a little over three hundred days. What terrible luck. Huang Yu felt extremely frustrated. Others who traverse worlds are enveloped in a protagonist's halo, receiving immense benefits right from the start, with countless treasures and secret manuals at their disposal. Yet here I am, having my lifespan stripped away. If I still had several decades to live, I could exchange for cultivation levels. In this world where the strong are numerous, lacking cultivation is tantamount to having no way to survive. At least in those novels, it is always like this; one misstep and one could be instantly killed.

Ding, congratulations to the player for reaching the second level of Qi Refinement

Lulu, what is this life meant for?

Dodge: 4 + 15

Ding, congratulations to the player for reaching the first layer of Qi Refinement

Health: 20

Currently, the master possesses a total of 306 points of life energy, of which only 276 points can be exchanged. This means that the master can at most elevate their cultivation to the sixth layer of Qi Refinement

Cultivation: None

Huang Yu

Indeed, it is so, therefore the master must strive diligently

The exchange has been successfully completed, and the owner can check it themselves

... ...

What level does the master wish to exchange to? Lulu asked

"There is no need for the master to be so dejected. It is quite easy to obtain life energy. Although the master's current life energy is limited, by simply killing a chicken each day, the master can gain a bit of life energy. Just think about it, is it really that difficult for the master to survive?" Lulu said, blinking her gem-like eyes as she noticed Huang Yu's dejected expression.

Huang Yu is well aware of the health points, attack, defense, evasion, and so on. However, the only thing he finds puzzling is this life energy; he does not understand what it is and what its function is.
