I Am Shocked That You Call This Cultivation - Chapter 40
Chapter 40: Cultivation, Breakthrough
“There must be a lot of powerful people in the True Cultivation Faction. If I were to enter alone in my current weak state, wouldn’t I be tortured to death?” Chen Pingan muttered to himself as he looked in the direction where Ye Beixuan had disappeared.
In fact, the reason why Chen Pingan left the neighborhood then was because he knew that there were terrifying experts hidden inside.
If he were to join the so-called True Cultivation Faction, it would make him even more uneasy. However, he did like Ye Beixuan’s idea of becoming friends to occasionally discuss true cultivation.
“But… the cultivation books weren’t as useless as he said they were… Could it be because my realm is too low?”
Chen Pingan picked up the cultivation books that had fallen to the ground. He looked at the cover of the book and recalled what Ye Beixuan just told him. He was confused.
At least for the current him, the cultivation books were still very useful!
“This is the problem with the strong. Cultivation books are too basic and can no longer satisfy their needs, so they don’t think it’s very useful for them.”
Chen Pingan sighed. In the end, his cultivation realm was still too low, unable to compare to those experts at all.
The path of cultivation ahead of Chen Pingan was still long!
He lowered his head and sighed as he opened the window. It was especially hot today. After he opened the window, a little cool air floated in.
“Summer is coming, Yang City is starting to heat up.” Chen Pingan muttered as he turned around to tidy up the room.
He had three lessons in the afternoon. If nothing went wrong, the higher-ups of the school would not attend the lessons again.
After all, the higher-ups were too busy dealing with the big shots from all over the country to bother about him.
But speaking of the abnormal phenomenon in Yang City, nearly four days had passed, and still nothing had happened recently.
“What a pity. I still want to see another abnormal phenomenon with my own eyes.”
Just as Chen Pingan finished speaking, a figure appeared in his mind. It was Dali!
Chen Pingan recalled that he was just told that Dali was the expert in the neighborhood.
“I have to be more careful in the future. I’ll also have to avoid speaking nonsense in front of Grandpa Dali. If I make him unhappy, the outcome will be very bad.”
On the way to class, Chen Pingan intentionally took a longer detour to avoid bumping into Dali.
Fortunately, Chen Pingan didn’t meet Dali or Ye Beixuan along the way.
After heaving a sigh of relief, he went on with his day. The three lessons in the afternoon went by without any accidents..
Apart from the incident in the morning, everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Chen Pingan was drenched in sweat after three periods of physical education class. He rushed back to his dormitory without stopping and took a remote path.
He took a shower and changed into a clean set of clothes before lying down on the sofa.
Chen Pingan caught a glimpse of the cultivation books on the table from the corner of his eye. He had already finished reading the first two cultivation books and had completely digested them by now.
“It’s time to read the next book.”
He turned around and took out the last treasured cultivation book from a box. It was the High Level Compulsory Cultivation Lesson Book.
Chen Pingan was even more devoted than the previous two sessions. He felt that this cultivation book was simply extraordinary. It was light and didn’t have much thickness, and the entire length of the book was very short and seemed to contain a great mystery.
Just like before, he flipped open the cover and exclaimed in surprise. There was no longer a catalog.
Chen Pingan flipped through the pages suspiciously. He skipped past many blank pages and directly read the content on the front page.
“Only the essence is written here!”
He could not help but sigh. He was no longer reading about basic circulation of Spirit Qi, but a cultivation system which had integrated everything perfectly.
It was the most extensive cultivation system that Chen Pingan had come into contact with so far.
It included everything from the entering of the Spirit Qi into his body to the circulation process of the Spirit Qi in his body and the exiting of Spirit Qi from his skin. It contained the knowledge of many aspects of cultivation.
“Is this what the ancients meant when they said that you could form a layer of basic protective Spirit Qi around the skin?”
He did not expect to see such a defensive method mentioned in the book and was slightly shocked.
“Hmph, and to think that I almost believed Ye Beixuan when he said it was useless. Luckily, I didn’t listen to him and kept the book. If I had thrown it away, I would have lost a defensive divine ability!”
Chen Pingan suddenly rejoiced. This kind of defensive divine ability was rare. He had cultivated for so long and had only come into contact with things related to cultivation. This was the first time he had come into contact with such a divine ability.
He carefully read through every word and every small symbol of the book, like a devout believer reading the bible.
After two hours, the sky had already started to darken. Chen Pingan finally shifted his gaze away from the book.
“Hu, this is too wonderful, I can’t describe it with words!”
He was still exclaiming non-stop. Even though the book only had a dozen or so pages, every word in it was condensed with meaning and incomparably precious!
While his comprehension was still deep, Chen Pingan took this opportunity to recall the content he had just read and immediately entered a fixed cultivation state.
As usual, he absorbed Spirit Qi and replenished his Spirit Sea to nourish his bones and meridians.
As he slowly and orderly replaced the Spirit Qi in his body, his body began to glow with vitality. It was as if he were a willow tree pulling out its tender branches as it swayed in the breeze.
In fact, in Chen Pingan’s imagination, he had become one of the branches of this willow tree as it absorbed all the Spirit Qi in a vast land. When the Spirit Qi entered the branch, the young willow tree became even more green.
Then, cracks appeared on the willow tree in his imagination. After that, the tender willow tree turned into a white ape who stood on its two feet.
There was no Spirit Qi turbulence around the white ape until it started breathing. Only then would Spirit Qi slowly float out, showing no signs of gushing.
All of a sudden, it was as if this white ape had absorbed enough Spirit Qi and its Spirit Qi was overflowing. Now, even if Spirit Qi entered its body, it would only flow out of its nose, mouth, and skin.
The white ape was Chen Pingan’s incarnation. Simply put, all of this was happening in Chen Pingan’s imagination.
At this moment, the vast Spirit Sea in his body was already occupied by an immeasurable amount of Spirit Qi, and there was even a surplus.
However, he still continued to cultivate because his Spirit Sea was only the foundation that would help him prepare for the Spirit Qi defensive divine ability.
Chen Pingan was still immersed in his own imagination. By now, the white ape had disappeared. This time, what appeared was not a ferocious beast or a young willow tree, but an immortal!
It was the same immortal as the one he had first seen on the cover of the cultivation book.
Like the floating immortal on the cover, Pingan’s body floated up as well. There was Spirit Qi supporting him from below, and the entire scene seemed extremely mysterious. At this moment, Chen Pingan was completely unaware of everything that was happening to him.
This was because he had completely replaced himself with his imagination of the immortal. It was as if he was in his shoes and could witness the scenes in his imagination from the immortal’s perspective. Suddenly, the imagination started to become a lot more realistic and believable.
Just as Chen Pingan was cultivating in a trance-like state, a crack appeared in the sky above Qin Kai Cultivation School as light seeped out from the crack!
From that crack, the Spirit Qi of mountains and oceans gushed out.. At this moment, the entire Qin Kai Cultivation School was like a fairyland! All of a sudden, a fairyland that only existed in ancient books had appeared in the real world!
