After bickering with Lu Ling, they went down to the first floor.
In the kitchen, they saw a table full of sumptuous dishes.
There were sweet and sour ribs, eel baked in a casserole, beef meatballs and celery soup, stir-fried peas with squid, fried spinach with pork, and a plate of stewed goose that could be bought anywhere on the street.
Five dishes and one soup. It’s definitely sumptuous.
Even Father Lu, who usually didn’t smile, couldn’t help but ask what day it was.
Mother Lu, on the other hand, said with a smile, “I got off work early today. I’m in a good mood, so I cooked a few more dishes.”.
Lu Li was able to have a big feast.
His family was still the same as in his previous life. There was no difference at all. Lu Li was still a little uncomfortable at first, but now he was totally over that.
Since being transported here was a fact, no matter how many regrets he had, it’s pointless to dwell on it.
It was better to cherish the present.
However, there was still a problem, and that was the money needed for the spiritual power test tomorrow…
500 dollars. Although it wasn’t a lot, as a person who hadn’t asked for money from his family since his third year of University, Lu Li was a little embarrassed to ask.
However, before Lu Li could do anything.
Mother Lu was the first to speak, and she gave Lu Li and Lu Ling 500 dollars each in big red bills.
Lu Li was a little surprised.
Mother Lu smiled and said, “I was wondering why you were so attentive today. So it’s because of this. Next time, just say it directly. It’s related to your future. Mom and Dad will try their best to help you.”
These words made Lu Li feel a little awkward.
He really wanted to help in the afternoon, but in his mother’s eyes, Lu Li’s behavior was quite abnormal.
The more he understood this, the more ashamed Lu Li felt.
“I don’t need it. I’m only a freshman now. It’s a waste of money for a physical examination. Just let Lu Li go.”
Lu Ling returned the money to Mother Lu.
However, Mother Lu frowned and said, “Why don’t you use it? Didn’t your teacher want to collect your physical examination form?”
“The teacher said that you don’t have to hand it in every month. We’re only freshmen, not seniors. It’s enough to hand it in twice a semester.”
“It’s better to go for an examination. Otherwise, what if there are some activities at school and you can’t go because you don’t have a physical examination?”
Of course, Mother Lu knew that Lu Ling was sensible and wanted to save money for her family. However, in Mother Lu’s opinion, this money is something necessary to spend.
The school often organized some activities for those students with excellent Spiritual Power Index. If they lagged behind other students and couldn’t go because of this, it would be a real waste of the child’s future.
Therefore, even though Lu Ling was sensible about it, Mother Lu insisted that she go.
Lu Li also looked at Lu Ling with some surprise.
He didn’t realize before that his sister, who spent money like water, had such a sensible side.
But it was understandable. After all, in his previous life, his family didn’t have this extra 1,000 dollars per month expenditure.
With an additional expenditure of 1,000 dollars, it would be 12,000 dollars per year. For an ordinary family, it was indeed a huge expenditure.
Lu Li could not help but think that he should think of a way to get some quick cash to supplement his family’s expenses.
He remembered that in his previous life when he was about to take the college entrance examination, something seemed to have happened at home and required a lot of money. During that period, his parents even quarreled several times.
That incident also caused him to borrow money from his relatives to pay for his college tuition and materials.
However, Lu Li couldn’t remember what exactly happened.
He didn’t know if such a thing would happen again in this world. In short, he had to think of ways to get some money in case he needed it. It’s always better to be prepared.
Thinking of this, Lu Li quickly ate his dinner.
He returned to his room.
He continued to read the basic breathing technique.
Lu Li read it very attentively. It was a book that wasn’t as thick as a language book. Thus, it only took Lu Li an hour for him to read it back and forth.
After he finished the last page.
A line of small words popped up in front of him:
[Learning Point + 1034]!
Seeing this line of words, Lu Li couldn’t help but be slightly astonished.
“1034 points?”
Why was it so high?
Lu Li thought that each book had a ceiling of 500 points.
Seeing the sudden increase of more than 1,000 points, Lu Li could not help but open the System’s Gallery to take a look.
[Learning progress of basic cultivation method (3): 10.34%!]
Learning progress was only 10%!
“In other words, the ceiling of this breathing technique is 10,000 points?”
Lu Li seemed to have understood something.
Learning points were not fixed at 500 points per book, but different books had different upper limits.
“The more advanced the book, the higher the learning points?”
“But… What the hell is 10% learning progress! I can almost memorize the whole book, but the learning progress is only 10%?”
Does this mean that there is still a lot to understand in this book?
Lu Li pondered and soon thought of a possibility.
“Is learning the theory of it not enough? Do I still need to practice it?”
The book recorded how to use the breathing method to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The other notes were just supplementary explanations. It seemed that it was very possible.
Thinking of this, Lu Li immediately went to his bed.
According to the “Basic breathing technique”, he began to adjust his breathing and slowly feel the spiritual energy in his body.
Perhaps it was because this body had already learned this breathing technique, it only took Lu Li about ten minutes to feel the spiritual energy.
After absorbing the spiritual energy, he then used the technique to refine the spiritual energy. Finally, absorbing it into his body.
This process was quite complicated.
However, after Lu Li repeated the cycle a few times, he began to become familiar with it, and the speed of the cycle also became much faster. This feeling was very mystical.
Moreover, as he cultivated deeper, Lu Li entered a state of internal vision.
He saw a pale golden ball of light, illuminating weakly in his Dantian.
Lu Li knew that it was his ball of spiritual power.
As time goes on, tiny light particles continuously gathered towards it from every direction.
Every time it absorbed a few light particles, the ball of light would unnoticeably grow a little bigger.
Lu Li also quickly observed that some of these light particles appeared out of thin air, and some flew from above his Dantian.
There were very few that flew from above, most of them appeared out of thin air.
Lu Li quickly figured out the reason. “The spiritual energy that came from above is the spiritual energy that was absorbed through the breathing technique after refining.”
“And the spiritual energy that appeared out of thin air should be the spiritual energy that was automatically produced by the Experience potion.”
The growth speed brought by the experience potion was three to four times faster than his cultivation.
Comparison sure hurts. It could be seen how slow his cultivation speed was when “He” cultivated previously.
Of course, this was partly due to his low aptitude for cultivating.
The books often mentioned the problem of aptitude difference. People with different aptitudes would have different cultivation speeds.
With this on his mind, Lu Li cultivated for a while more. Only after he was completely familiar with the breathing technique’s flow did he leave his cultivation state.
He opened the System panel again.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that his Learning Points had increased from 1,158 to 3,241 points!
It has increased by 2,083 points!
Opening the Gallery, the learning progress of the breathing technique had reached 31.17%!
Lu Li had indeed gained a new understanding of the breathing technique.
“As expected, some books need to be memorized, some books need to be understood, and some books need to be practiced to obtain true knowledge.”
“However, why is the suffix name of this breathing technique ‘three’?”
“Does this mean that this breathing technique book has one and two?”
Lu Li could not help but glance at the basic breathing technique book in his hand.
Under the title of the book, it was printed with the words “High school student edition”.
He seemed to have found the answer.
“Since there is a high school student edition, does this mean that there is a middle school student edition and a primary school student edition?”
Thinking of this possibility, Lu Li immediately began to search for his books on his desk.
As expected.
Lu Li found two other basic breathing techniques in a conspicuous position on the desk!
They were the middle school edition and the primary school edition!
These three editions of the breathing technique went from simple to difficult. The corresponding cultivation methods were slightly different, and the emphasis was also different.
However, only by linking the three editions together could one truly understand the wondrous uses of the basic breathing technique!
However, this was not what Lu Li was concerned about. What he was concerned about was that each of these two books had a maximum value of 10,000 learning points!
Looking at these two books was like looking at two gold mines.
Lu Li could not wait to flip open the primary school edition and start digging for gold!
