Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 413 - 166 External Shape Magic Foundation

Wang Qi had indeed been exhausted by those annoying little demons during his first two shifts, but thankfully, teaching is somewhat a skilled profession. After giving more lessons, with the help of Hu Buxue, he had also acquired some tricks for teaching these Demon Clan disciples.

Teaching these demons was genuinely difficult, but once he had grasped the tricks, it actually became a very relaxing job.

First of all, these demons weren't descendants being educated in demon ways, but wild demons collected here by the Immortal Alliance because of their early Spirit Awakening. Their intelligence was roughly equivalent to that of a three to five-year-old child, and the simplest method to teach these children was to play games with them.

Moreover, playing games with these unawakened demons was also a way to enhance their Spirit Awakening progress. A great philosopher on Earth once believed that play was a consciously simulated activity, created out of the needs of young life and abilities—both animal and human. The play of animals is an intensely practical learning process, offering ample opportunities to skillfully integrate their inherent talents and the complex natural and social environments. Furthermore, play also serves as exercise for wild animals.

This activity, which aligned with their instincts and educative yet entertained, was truly easy. In "games," they gradually learned "rules" and became accustomed to the constraints of "rules." According to existing theories, this was an important step in the development of an independent personality.

Having them play jump rope or Chinese checkers was superb.

Once they were used to accepting the "rules of the game," it was time to start classes. By then, these easily deceived fellows would treat "classes" as a kind of game, adhering to rules like "silence" and "seriousness," with the ultimate comparison being who learned more.

Such naive little guys.

After each class, Wang Qi, following Chen Feng's instructions, would make these "students" take a set of test questions. To Wang Qi, an outsider in academic terms, this seemed a bit like the psychological tests used to deceive adolescent girls. However, he knew that the technical content of this was much higher than those found in third-rate magazines.

After returning, Wang Qi would collate the answers from the questionnaires into a spreadsheet then display it in the form of trend charts, which he handed over to Chen Feng.

Through this process, he had gained some correct understanding of "personality" and "the self."

Wang Qi had already reached great heights in Mathematical Theory, managing Foundation Establishment and Core Formation with ease, and now it was more important to ponder the mental method and accumulate experience. As he didn't have to do the most brain-draining tasks, teaching one day every three days was quite relaxing for him.

"I am quite satisfied with the results, and being a Spirit Awakening Master also comes with subsidies," Wang Qi said to his colleague. He said this while supervising a group of Demon Clan students playing musical chairs. A small yellow cat perched on his head, and a black cat was vigorously rubbing against the hem of his clothes at his feet.

Hu Buxue covered her mouth and giggled lightly, "Mr. Wang, you really have adapted well here, and it seems these students quite like you too."

Wang Qi awkwardly grabbed the black cat by the scruff of its neck and lifted it, "Cats, well, aside from their cute ear-twitching, there's not much to them. I prefer dogs, the smaller ones—and Big Cat, stop getting your fur on my pants!"

"That's a pity, those canines don't stick to you, eh!" Another regular teacher, You Mengran, scratched the neck of a black dog by his foot. He was in charge of the advanced class, which had very few students, and most of them were just a step away from completing their Spirit Awakening.

Wang Qi shook his head, trying to shake off the cat perched on his head, "Be a good cat and integrate with the group, Five Meows! I know felines are mostly solitary, but the Human Clan is social and gregarious... go make some friends!"

Besides teaching and studying, he continued to research Calculator Theory and Swordsmanship. At night, aside from practicing the Soul Forging Skill, he also studied the Seeking Dao Jade. This jade was not only a symbol of honor but also the most advanced calculator in Shenzhou, which greatly benefited his Magic Foundation.

Wang Qi's design for his Magic Foundation had gone through several revisions. Thanks to Feng Luoyi's modifications, its completion level was very high, now being of the top grade. Wang Qi, however, kept adding new ideas from time to time. This approach slightly alarmed Chen Feng. More than once, he had told Wang Qi that apart from the "Heavenly Calculation True Spirit Foundation" at Tianling Ridge, which could continuously strengthen a Magic Foundation, one could hardly find a better design in Modern times.

However, this also made Wang Qi's Foundation Establishment incredibly challenging.

Because of this, he started designing devices to allow him to experience the feeling of Foundation Establishment in advance.

One day, he specifically called Chen Feng and Chen Youjia to the courtyard to show off his latest invention.

Chen Youjia was quite upset about his work being interrupted—perhaps also due to recent setbacks in progress—and his tone wasn't very pleasant, "The thing you're going to show is this 'toy'?"

At that moment, Wang Qi had simply changed a belt buckle, the red one with two rectangular slots. He shook his head and smiled, "When I showed it to you last time, it indeed was just a toy, but now it's different."

"First of all, my skills in refining calculators have improved; this belt buckle uses a calculator that is not much different from a general Talismanic Level calculator. Furthermore, I've acquired some technology from the Seeking Dao Jade; some algorithms even directly replicate those of the Seeking Dao Jade..."

Chen Feng interrupted, "Alright, just tell us what it does?"

"Hehe," Wang Qi chuckled softly, "You'll see!"

According to my calculations... this can replace some functions of a Magic Foundation!

He took out a Spirit Rhinoceros Bottle and activated it with mana. The Spirit Rhinoceros Bottle emitted a faint purple light, followed by a prompt sound, "Ghost King!" After the prompt sound ended, Wang Qi inserted the Spirit Rhinoceros Bottle into the belt buckle. Suddenly, a whirlwind spiraled up from the ground, and nature's spiritual energy automatically rushed towards Wang Qi but did not enter his body; instead, it flowed towards the belt and Spirit Rhinoceros Bottle. Wang Qi must have added a design as the Spirit Rhinoceros Bottle directly converted the spiritual energy into Gang Qi. A dense black-purple Gang Qi enveloped Wang Qi, and subsequently, his aura soared step by step!

"Is this... Foundation Establishment?" Chen Feng squinted his eyes, observing closely. After the Spirit Rhinoceros Bottle was inserted into the belt buckle, Wang Qi's aura seemed precisely that of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, but his soul and life had not undergone any substantial sublimation.

Was this the effect of the belt buckle?

Before Chen Feng could ask, Wang Qi took the initiative to explain, "This is my latest 'toy,' an external Magic Foundation!" (To be continued.
