Chapter 86: Chapter 59 【Playing by Uncommon Rules?】_2

The original basement of the villa had been transformed into a training room by Chen Yan. Sitting on a meditation cushion, Chen Yan felt that his practice of the Primordial Qi Transport Technique had reached its limit for the day... His body could not absorb any more Primordial Qi.

This method of training required a gradual approach, transporting Primordial Qi into the body daily.

Each day would nourish a bit more, and while improving his cultivation, his body was continuously nourished by the Primordial Qi. As a result, his body’s capacity for Primordial Qi would slowly increase over time.

From Chen Yan’s perspective, he could practice the Primordial Qi Transport Technique up to six times a day. After six rounds, his "container" was full and could not accommodate more Primordial Qi.

However, with daily practice, the capacity of the container would expand very slowly, bit by tiny bit.

Chen Yan roughly calculated that, at this rate, in about half a year, he could increase his daily practices from eight times to nine times.

According to Gu Qingyi, this progress was already considered to have good talent.

But of course, Chen Yan was not satisfied...

If I can cheat, why should I foolishly level up and fight monsters?

Placing the ring on his left thumb, Chen Yan continued to transport Primordial Qi.

The ninth round!

This time, after the Primordial Qi entered his body, he felt a slight resistance to absorbing the nourishing Qi, but Chen Yan’s approach was simple: the transported Primordial Qi followed the meridians of the cultivation technique, made a circuit within his body, and then was directly infused into the ring.

This way, the Primordial Qi just made a round within his body without being stored—his body’s capacity was simply insufficient.

But by running a round and then directly infusing into the ring, the benefit was that the Primordial Qi gained another process to cleanse and nourish the physical body!

Moreover, under the effects of the cultivation technique, this process of cleansing was very profound, gentle, and harmless.

It was not like what Gu Qingyi said about placing oneself as the eye of the Spirit Gathering Array, where the Qi’s rough and simple flushing would turn one into a muscular brute.

By evening, Gu Qingyi, out of curiosity, came downstairs to the training room to check on Chen Yan. As a Celestial Being, she stood at the door of the training room, took a couple of glances, and immediately understood what Chen Yan was doing.

"Eh?"

After a brief contemplation, Gu Qingyi understood Chen Yan’s method. She thought for a moment, shook her head, and went back upstairs.

That night, she reheated some buns for dinner, and Young Lady Gu went to sit in the yard’s chair to watch the moon and stars.

Chen Yan continued his training until he quietly awoke from meditation in the morning.

Upon opening his eyes, Chen Yan felt his body light and refreshed, his senses sharp. As he stood up, it felt as if his body was buoyant, and a sense of indescribable ease and joy enveloped him.

It was like having slept soundly for over ten hours, followed by a hot shower and a full scrub, feeling thoroughly invigorated both inside and out, in mind and body.

Even more, he felt that if he swung his arms, he could almost fly.

Especially when Chen Yan activated the Qi Observation Skill, he saw a change in the Qi forms within his vision.

The Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth appeared as a grey mist to him.

With his Qi flowing and emanating, his own Qi took on a shimmering silvery glow.

Clearly, his state in the Guiyuan Realm had stabilized. According to the earlier detailed explanations from Gu Qingyi, entering the Guiyuan Mirror heightened one’s sensitivity to Heaven and Earth’s Qi and improved the observation of Qi fortune to a new level.

Of course, the increase in Taoist cultivation also enabled Chen Yan to try more spells.

Well, the only downside was that he was very hungry.

Looking at his phone, there was a text message from the bank.

888,888 yuan.

Memo: Second phase payment for house renovation.

Great! Chen Yan was very satisfied... President Fang was indeed generous.

Chen Yan felt very pleased.

On one hand, making money was naturally a joy.

On the other hand, using the ring to assist in cultivation had proven remarkably effective!

Originally, using the Spirit Gathering Array to concentrate Qi increased his cultivation efficiency by just over threefold.

Using the ring as a cheat, he could practice the Primordial Qi Transport Technique up to eight times a day, but since last night, Chen Yan roughly remembered practicing at least thirty times!

That was over four times the efficiency.

Combining both methods... Seven to eight times the efficiency!

Gu Qingyi said that it would take him twenty years to break through to the Ascension Realm again.

But with seven to eight times the efficiency...

He should be able to do it in three to four years, right?

Indeed, in cultivation, cheats were the key!

No wonder in all those cultivation web novels, the male protagonist couldn’t manage without cheats.

Entering the living room upstairs, he looked out the floor-to-ceiling window and saw Gu Qingyi still lying in the yard’s recliner.

This woman couldn’t have been watching the moon all night, right?

Never mind, after all, she’s a Celestial Being, she won’t freeze.

Chen Yan thoughtfully turned into the kitchen.

He started the stove and fried four eggs, grabbed a box of milk, and sliced two pieces of toast.

He sandwiched the eggs in the toast and had just finished when Gu Qingyi, following the smell, breezed into the kitchen.

In the blink of an eye, the toast with eggs in front of Chen Yan was gone!
