“I’ve successfully built my Foundation Establishment. I can feel the Purple Mansion now.” Zeng Jing said weakly.

Bai Yan was overjoyed. However, in order to confirm if it was true, she still had to ask, “Where is the Purple Mansion that you sensed? What does it feel like?”

Zeng Jing said, “About an inch away from the upper dantian, there seems to be a big black hole spinning. There seem to be pavilions inside, like a place where immortals live…”

Bai Yan said happily, “Yes, yes! That’s the Purple Mansion. Congratulations, Junior Brother. You’ve successfully built your Foundation Establishment. From today onwards, you can finally officially walk the path of cultivation.”

Zeng Jing turned 45 degrees towards the sky with a face full of tears. I’ve already reached the Foundation Establishment realm, so I actually did not have to eat the chili!

“Junior Brother, why do you seem unhappy?”

“No, no, no, I’m super happy! So, can you give me a cultivation technique now and allow me to learn the Sword Control Technique?”

“Of course.” Bai Yan agreed.

Zeng Jing was overjoyed.

That night, Bai Yan changed Zeng Jing’s room. The room he was originally staying in was a brick room, but now it was a small wooden hut.

This time, Zeng Jing had already guessed the reason without waiting for Bai Yan to explain. He smiled and said, “Wood can make a fire, so my room has to be changed to a small wooden cabin, right?”

Bai Yan smiled and said, “You’re quite smart. It seems that your comprehension is not too low either. It’s just that you were a little confused at first.”

She gave Zeng Jing a secret manual. It was antique and had a red cover. On the cover was a line of large words: “Blazing Sun Flame Refinement Art”. She flipped to the first page. Inside it was written: “Immortal Essence Year 32. The first generation Grandmaster of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect comprehended this divine technique under the scorching sun. The nature of this technique is like the scorching sun. The cultivator is prone to the backlash from heart fire. Therefore, those who cultivate this technique must first cultivate the heart, especially not to kill too much, in case the heart fire is too strong.”

Bai Yan said, “Originally, our Senior Teachers should be the one to guide you in your cultivation. However, everyone in our sect who knows this cultivation technique has already… I cultivate a water-attribute cultivation technique, while Junior Sister Sect Master cultivates a wood-attribute cultivation technique. The two of us don’t understand the Blazing Sun Flame Refinement Art, so we can only let you comprehend it yourself. However, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask Junior Sister Sect Master. Her comprehension ability is extremely high, and she’s a genius. She can learn such a secret manual at a glance. Even if she hasn’t cultivated it, she should be able to help you answer all kinds of questions.”

“Okay,” Zeng Jing said. “I think I can comprehend it. My IQ is pretty high. Three 100 marks in mathematics, physics, and chemistry.”

Bai Yan asked curiously, “What’s mathematics, physics, and chemistry?”

“Er… it’s hard to explain at the moment,” said Zeng Jing. “Anyway, it’s the opposite of metaphysics…”

At this point, his entire body suddenly stiffened. Damn, cultivation was metaphysics, right? Mathematics, physics, and chemistry were the enemies of metaphysics. In other words, the better one was at mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the harder it was to cultivate. No wonder I couldn’t sense spiritual energy and was criticized for having a poor level of comprehension. The reason was that I had been on the opposite side of metaphysics from the beginning.

Who was the one who said that one should learn mathematics, physics, and chemistry well and not be afraid of walking around the world? If you come out, I promise not to hit you.

Bai Yan didn’t understand at all, but it did not bother her. There was no need to ask her Junior Brother about such a small matter. It was up to him to brag. Whether he could learn the cultivation technique or not wasn’t something he could brag about. If he couldn’t learn it, he naturally had to ask his junior sister for help.

Bai Yan returned to his room.

Zeng Jing picked up the secret manual and carefully flipped through it…

This book was written in both traditional and written language, and it did seem a little strenuous. Moreover, the words and sentences were all written in classical Chinese, causing his head to hurt quite a bit. Fortunately, all the young people in this great dynasty learnt a lot of classical Chinese. They would be able to understand it as long as they read it carefully and slowly.

The first few pages of the book contained the methods to gather and refine qi.

In other words, as long as he cultivated according to this book, Zeng Jing would enter the “Qi Refinement Realm”.

After chatting with his senior sister and the Loli Sect Master for the past few days, he had a rough understanding of the cultivation level of this world. The ordinary people in this world first cultivated their bodies. After their bodies became strong and eliminated all illnesses, they would sense the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, open up their conception and governor vessels, and complete their Foundation Establishment. After that, they would cultivate true cultivation arts and enter the Qi Refinement Realm.

After one successfully reach the Qi Refinement realm and entered the Core Formation realm, they would have to ponder and try their best to reach the Core Formation realm.

After that, one would enter the Golden Core Realm.

After reaching the perfected Golden Core Realm, he would work hard to nurture his Nascent Soul and enter the Nascent Soul Realm.

The realm after that would be the Essence Soul Realm before one finally become an Earth Immortal.

Generally speaking, Earth Immortals wouldn’t be able to stay in this world for long. They would soon shatter the void and head to the true immortal realm.

Naturally, the realms after this were still too far away. For the current Zeng Jing, the most important thing was to pass the Qi Refinement Realm smoothly.

One had to manipulate spiritual energy in order to refine their qi.

Zeng Jing sensed that there was a total of 4.6 billion years of cultivation in his body, which was 4.6 billion years of spiritual energy. This amount of spiritual energy could only be described as terrifying. However, this spiritual energy had no attributes! He didn’t understand the five elements when he transmigrated back then. The God of Transmigration also deliberately didn’t give him a chance to choose and directly gave him 4.6 billion years of attributeless spiritual energy. It simply couldn’t correspond to a fire-attribute cultivation art.

This is a f*cking scam!

Forget it, I’m not worried about this for now. I’ll try playing with fire.

Zeng Jing sat cross-legged on the wooden bed. Similar to what was written in the book, he could sense the spiritual energy contained in heaven and earth.

In the Shu Mountain, plants flourished, and the densest spiritual energy was wood-attribute. However, Zeng Jing couldn’t absorb them as he could only absorb fire-attribute spiritual energy. Fortunately, the roof, walls, floor, bed, table… All of the furniture in the small wooden house he was living in was made of wood.

Wood could start a fire. In this small wooden house, even if there was only a little bit of fire-attribute spiritual energy, it would become vigorous because of the “wood empowers fire”. Zeng Jing easily absorbed a little bit of fire-attribute spiritual energy and absorbed it into his Purple Mansion.

Yesterday, his 4.6 billion years of cultivation would still chase away other types of spiritual energy with disdain to absorb them. However, it was different today. The Purple Mansion no longer rejected these fire-attribute spiritual energy and instead carefully stored them.

Zeng Jing immediately guessed that it was because of the bear gallbladder fritillary bulb loquats with chili that his Foundation Establishment leaned toward the fire attribute. Right now, his entire being was burning with fire. Those 4.6 billion years of attributeless cultivation had changed according to his body’s condition, so he had become a little fiery. Naturally, he wouldn’t reject the fire-attribute spiritual energy.

Even if he only had a little bit of fire attribute spiritual energy, he could be considered to have officially stepped into the “Qi Refinement Realm”. Zeng Jing could be considered a true cultivator now.

He followed the instructions of the cultivation art and moved that tiny bit of fire-attribute spiritual energy out of his Purple Mansion. He then moved it to the center of his palm and exerted a little force, forcing it to the center of his palm. He then saw that his palm had turned completely red. He then gently waved his palm forward. “Boom!”

A ball of fire appeared in the air, and a scorching palm force rushed out, as if wanting to ignite the air.

“Fiery Palm, success!” Zeng Jing was overjoyed.

Of course, the might of this Fiery Palm was really a little too low. This was because the fire-attribute spiritual energy in his body was still very small. This Fiery Palm could be used to ignite tree branches and leaves, but it was still too early to use it to injure others.

There was only one way to increase its power, and that was to meditate, cultivate, and cultivate crazily.

Zeng Jing sat cross-legged on the wooden bed and started cultivating with all his might.

“All the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, come forth! Fire, fire, all the fire, enter my Purple Mansion!”
