Chapter 2 Surge in Strength

Wang Lin took out the Condensing Qi Stage Cultivation Technique from the Storage Pouch according to the method taught by Sun Xuan.

Inside, there were Cultivation Techniques for all fifteen levels of the Condensing Qi Stage.

Although logically speaking, with Sun Xuan's cultivation at the fifth level of Condensing Qi, it was impossible to have so many levels of Cultivation Techniques.

But Sun Xuan was an Elder after all, even though his strength hadn't increased much over all these years.

However, he had already managed to get all the Qi Condensation techniques into his hands long ago.

As Wang Lin took out the technique and flipped through it, he occasionally frowned slightly.

After just a short while, Wang Lin roughly browsed through the Cultivation Techniques for all fifteen levels of the Condensing Qi Stage.

He also focused on understanding the part about the first level of Condensing Qi.

In his heart, he also jotted down some questions regarding his Cultivate.

Wang Lin raised his head and said to Sun Xuan with some gratitude:

"Master, I have roughly looked at the immortal Cultivation Techniques and have quite a few questions in my heart. I hope Master can resolve my doubts."

Sun Xuan said, "Wang Lin, feel free to bring up any questions you have, and Master will answer them for you one by one."

Wang Lin asked questions, and Sun Xuan answered them one by one.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

The doubts in Wang Lin's heart were also resolved one by one.

Although Sun Xuan's cultivation was low, having Cultivated for so many years, he still had a very deep understanding of these introductory Cultivate problems.

Answering the questions of a rookie like Wang Lin, who hadn't even entered the threshold yet, was not difficult at all.

"Wang Lin, since you no longer have any doubts about entering the path of Cultivate, next, try drawing Qi into your body right here in this medicine garden!

The Spiritual Qi in the medicine garden is abundant, which is also beneficial for you to sense Spiritual Qi. Master will stay here to act as your Protector."

Through this back-and-forth Q&A, Wang Lin gradually became familiar with Sun Xuan.

Moreover, Sun Xuan's unreserved explanations made Wang Lin even more moved in his heart.

A waste Disciple like him, with poor Aptitude and looked down upon by everyone in the Hengyue Sect,

was actually able to receive such sparing-no-effort cultivation from Sun Xuan, making Wang Lin recognize Sun Xuan as his Master from the depths of his heart.

"Yes, Master!"

At this moment, Wang Lin's heart was also eager to try, thinking of becoming an immortal Cultivator as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Wang Lin sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and began to breathe and regulate his breath according to the essential formulas in the Qi Condensation technique.

Wang Lin's immortal Cultivate Aptitude was not good.

Although he was already familiar with how to breathe and regulate his breath, he did not succeed on the first try.

However, there was a stubborn resilience in Wang Lin's bones; the more setbacks he faced, the more determined he became to work hard.

After an entire afternoon like this, Wang Lin finally grasped the knack of it.

Wisps of imperceptible Spiritual Qi were slowly drawn into Wang Lin's body. Although most of the Spiritual Qi dissipated on its own because of Wang Lin's poor Aptitude,

a portion was still kept inside Wang Lin's body.

With the sun rising and the moon falling, a whole night passed amidst meditation and breathing.

At this time, Wang Lin slowly opened his eyes.

After his first Cultivate, Wang Lin finally understood just how poor his Aptitude truly was.

If he continued to meditate with such low efficiency, he wouldn't even need to think about making a Breakthrough to the first level of Qi Condensation without more than half a year.

Seeing Wang Lin awake from meditation, Sun Xuan smiled and took out a bowl of prepared Spirit Medicine, handing it in front of Wang Lin.

"Master, what is this?"

Looking at the paste-like substance in front of him, Wang Lin asked Sun Xuan with some confusion.

"This is a Spirit Medicine prepared by Master, which will help you absorb Spiritual Qi and step into the first level of Qi Condensation as soon as possible," Sun Xuan said.

Although Sun Xuan knew that Wang Lin had Spiritual Qi water soaked with the heaven defying bead, the care that should be given could not be less.

Moreover, eating this Spirit Medicine would also allow Wang Lin to boldly use the Spiritual Qi water to boost his cultivation without worrying that raising his cultivation too quickly would arouse suspicion from others.

Wang Lin took the Spirit Medicine and drank it down in one gulp.

Then, following Sun Xuan's instructions, he sat cross-legged and began to absorb the Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Medicine.

With this meditation, Wang Lin secretly thought in his heart that with the assistance of the Spirit Medicine, the efficiency of Cultivate had indeed improved far too much.

Going on like this, perhaps before long, his cultivation would be able to advance to the first level of Qi Condensation.

After finishing the absorption of this bowl of Spirit Medicine, Wang Lin stopped meditating and practicing Qi.

Over this past day and night, Wang Lin could be considered to have initially entered the threshold, and from now on he could just Cultivate on his own.

Wang Lin stood up to take his leave, heading to the room arranged for him by Sun Xuan to rest.

Sun Xuan handed a token for entering and exiting the medicine garden's Restriction to Wang Lin, telling him that he could come and go as he pleased.

After promising to refine a bowl of Spirit Medicine for him every day, Sun Xuan also stood up and returned to the room.

Looking at Wang Lin's Cultivate speed, Sun Xuan could not help but sigh that Wang Lin's Aptitude was truly as bad as it could possibly get.

However, with the assistance of the Spiritual Qi water, Wang Lin's Cultivate speed shouldn't be too slow.

Just like that, Wang Lin would go out every once in a while.

And Sun Xuan never stopped him, letting Wang Lin come and go as he pleased.

He only refined a bowl of Spirit Medicine for Wang Lin every day and regularly answered Wang Lin's doubts regarding Cultivate.

In this way, Wang Lin's cultivation improved day by day.

Finally, after more than two months, he advanced to the first level of Qi Condensation.

Watching the process during this period made Sun Xuan mentally exhausted.

Fortunately, the time for harvest had finally arrived.

A voice rang out in Sun Xuan's mind:

"Disciple Wang Lin's cultivation has reached the first level of Qi Condensation, triggering a ten-thousand-fold cultivation return!

Please select the cultivation return method."

Hearing the voice in his mind, Sun Xuan felt a surge of wild joy in his heart.

"Use all of it to boost cultivation!"

Sun Xuan secretly thought in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming surge of Spiritual Qi poured into Sun Xuan's body.

Sun Xuan's cultivation immediately skyrocketed.

"Sixth level of Qi Condensation,

seventh level of Qi Condensation,

eighth level of Qi Condensation,

…

fifteenth level of Qi Condensation."

In just the blink of an eye, Sun Xuan's cultivation surpassed his bitter Cultivate of more than half a lifetime, heading straight into the Great Perfection Realm of Condensing Qi.

He was barely stuck on the threshold of entering the Foundation Establishment Stage!

After all, Wang Lin's cultivation had only reached the first level of Qi Condensation; even with a ten-thousand-fold return, being able to reach the Great Perfection of the fifteen levels of the Condensing Qi Stage was already very good.

"Phew, awesome!"

Seeing this, Sun Xuan's once slightly aged body straightened up again, and most of his half-head of silver hair turned pitch black once more.

The wrinkles on his face also smoothed out.

An invisible wind of Spiritual Qi emanated outward from Sun Xuan's body, blowing his robes so that they fluttered loudly.

Sun Xuan had actually recovered from the appearance of an aged Elder to the posture of a middle-aged man.

If Wang Lin had not happened to be away from the medicine garden, and if there hadn't been a Restriction blocking the inside of the medicine garden,

the matter of Sun Xuan breaking through from the fifth level of Condensing Qi to the Great Perfection of the fifteenth level of Condensing Qi in a single day would definitely have spread throughout the entire Hengyue Sect.

By then, Sun Xuan would be in trouble.

Sun Xuan silently reined in the Spiritual Qi within his body, and then quietly pondered ways to conceal his own cultivation Realm.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Sun Xuan's mind; he remembered that there was a small trading gathering among Inner Sect Disciples.

It was about to begin right now, and at the trading gathering, there existed Cultivation Techniques for concealing the aura of cultivation.

Sun Xuan prepared to go buy the technique to conceal his own cultivation, so as to avoid attracting trouble.

After all, although the Hengyue Sect had declined, there were still Golden Core Cultivators within the sect.

With his current cultivation, it would be best to be a bit careful.
