Collecting Experience Until I Am The Desolation

Chapter 5

"This will be your position in the future." Gao Ruyang smiled at Yang Chen.

"Second Senior Brother is so fierce!" Gu Erwa cried out in surprise. He had become an internal affairs apprentice two days earlier than Yang Chen.

"Is this what a martial artist is like?" Yang Chen was serious.

It was effortless to lift a stone like that. The key was that Second Brother was not overly strong, but rather like a Confucian scholar.

"The cultivation technique I'm teaching you is called Qi Cultivation. It's not the kind of cultivation technique that martial arts centers and gangs use to kill. After cultivating the Qi Cultivation technique, it only has the effect of extending one's lifespan." Liu Changyue stroked his beard.

"Use the body to nourish Qi, clear the eight extraordinary meridians, and remove impurities."

"Then can I become a martial artist by practicing this Qi Cultivation technique?" Gu Erwa asked hurriedly.

"Yes, but even if you become a warrior, you'll still be the weakest among them. After all, the effect of this cultivation method is only to prolong life." Liu Changyue stroked his beard and took a sip of tea.

After hearing Liu Changyue's words, Gu Erwa's expression was obviously desolate.

Yang Chen didn't mind it too much. He would take one step at a time and at least cultivate martial arts first.

"Although the Qi Nurturing technique isn't good at attacking, it doesn't have any requirements for talent and comprehension," Liu Changyue mumbled to himself.

"You only need to cultivate in the morning at seven o'clock, breathing in and out purple Qi. Nine deep and one shallow breaths form one cycle. After 2,000 cycles, you can cultivate the first level. At the tenth level, you can be a martial artist," Liu Changyue patiently explained to Yang Chen and Gu Erwa.

"Those with talent might be faster."

"Then, according to Master's speed, he can only practice thirty rounds a day. Just the first level of the Qi-nurturing stage would take more than a month, and it would take a year to become a martial artist?" Gu Erwa spoke. He was good at math, and his brain worked quickly.

"Yes, I am," Liu Changyue nodded. "When you become a martial artist, the Qi and blood in your body will undergo a transformation. Your Qi and blood will suddenly double or even multiply. This is also one of the most important differences between martial artists and ordinary people."

"In addition, martial artists will be given different abilities according to the characteristics of the cultivation method. For example, my Qi Cultivation technique can prolong one's life." Liu Changyue smiled before adding, "It's also like the Stone-breaking Fist of the North Mountain Martial School, which has the power to break."

Yang Chen and Gu Erwa suddenly understood.

After giving a few more instructions, Liu Changyue led the group into the purple Qi, nine deep and one shallow.

Yang Chen silently recited the mantra and followed Liu Changyue's indifferent voice as he breathed in the purple Qi. In his mind, his personal panel also quietly appeared.

Name: Yang Chen

[ Cultivation Method ]: [ Qi Nurturing Technique (Level 0, 0/100) ]

[ Skill: Alchemy (Beginner, 1/200) ]

[ Stage: none ]

The cultivation technique had appeared on his personal panel.

After a few rounds of breathing, Yang Chen slowly opened his eyes. The Qi-Nurturing Technique's experience points on the interface still did not change.

However…

As the group of senior brothers swallowed and spat, white experience balls continuously appeared.

Yang Chen didn't hesitate and immediately collected these white experience balls.

"Ding! You have collected a [ Nurturing Qi Essence (White) ], [ Nurturing Qi ] Experience +3!"

"Ding! You have collected a [ Nurturing Qi Essence (White) ], [ Nurturing Qi ] Experience +2!"

"Ding! You have collected a [ Nurturing Qi Essence (White) ], [ Nurturing Qi ] Experience +6!"

'What's going on? The experience points given by this white experience ball are different.'

After a moment of thought, Yang Chen recalled what Liu Changyue had just said. One could only become a martial artist after reaching the tenth level of the Qi-Nurturing Technique.

In other words, there were ten levels until the peak of a martial artist. The experience orbs were probably given according to the level of these senior brothers' cultivation technique.

Suddenly, Yang Chen looked at Liu Changyue, his Second Senior Brother Gao Ruyang, and his Eldest Senior Sister Liu Xiaomei, who were at the front.

The three of them actually dropped green experience balls.

'As expected, it must be because they're already martial artists. The green experience ball will give more experience.'

With a thought, Yang Chen collected all three green experience balls.

"Ding! You have collected a [ Nurturing Qi Essence (Green) ], [ Nurturing Qi ] Experience +10."

"Ding! You have collected a [ Nurturing Qi Essence (Green) ], [ Nurturing Qi ] Experience +27."

In the end, Yang Chen picked up Liu Changyue's experience ball and unexpectedly gained 29 points.

'Master is indeed master. He's twelve levels higher than Second Senior Brother.' Yang Chen was speechless.

'But wait… Why is Senior Sister Liu Xiaomei's experience ball almost the same as Master's?'

He remembered that Liu Xiaomei had once said that they were all at the same cultivation level.

Yang Chen tried to recall the differences between himself and the two of them. It was probably because his Senior Sister Liu Xiaomei was closer to him, so they had been together a lot these days.

It was the first time he met his Second Senior Brother, Gao Ruyang, and he didn't have much interaction with his master.

With a thought, his personal panel appeared in front of his eyes again.

Name: Yang Chen

[ Cultivation Method ]: [ Qi Nurturing Technique (Level 1, 3/200) ]

[ Skill ] [ Alchemy (Beginner, 1/200) ]

[ Stage: none ]

"This is already the first level?" Yang Chen muttered to himself, his heart filled with joy. The higher his realm, the more experience he could collect.

He calmed his heart and condensed his Qi, feeling the changes in his body.

There was only a trace of 'white line' swimming in his eight extraordinary meridians and five viscera and six bowels.

'This is called 'nourishing Qi and expelling poison.' In layman's terms, this wisp of Qi is a needle and thread that clears the impurities in the body, removing the burden on the body and thus achieving the effect of prolonging life,' Yang Chen muttered to himself.
