Chapter 25 Breakthrough and Advancement!
The intermediate training room is much more spacious, about thirty square meters.
The interior layout no longer resembles a training ground, but rather a standard hotel room.
The bathroom is clean and tidy, with a single bed next to a large bookcase, and all kinds of facilities are available.
Zhu Que slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He could clearly feel that the concentration of spiritual energy in the air was more than ten times higher than that in the beginner cultivation room.
Zhu Que wasted no more time. He immediately sat cross-legged, held his breath, and began his cultivation for the night.
In the following days, he returned to the repetitive rhythm of working during the day and practicing at night.
Enveloped in the rich spiritual energy, even though his absorption speed wasn't much faster, his cultivation realm improved somewhat quickly.
period.
He regularly replaced the artificial spiritual root, the Qigang Golden Needle, and the Glass Heart with the replicas.
Every evening, he would meet up with Xiao Cai and hand over the twenty counterfeit pistols to the men sent by Boss Meng to complete the transaction.
this day.
Early morning.
Some changes suddenly occurred at the sixth landfill.
Zhu Que returned to the junkyard as usual. As soon as he entered the small room in the waste and broken parts section, he saw an unfamiliar face in the room.
"Hello, you must be Brother Zhu?"
He was a kind-looking young man who immediately greeted Zhu Que warmly upon seeing him.
"Who are you?" Zhu Que asked, looking puzzled.
"I'm a new garbage collector. My name is Peng Yong. Brother Zhu, you can just call me Xiao Yong from now on."
The young man introduced himself with a shy smile, adopting a very humble posture.
Zhu Que smiled and nodded, without asking any further questions, and handed the breakfast to Sun Zheng.
"Brother Sun, I brought you breakfast."
"Okay."
Sun Zheng took it and started eating.
Peng Yong asked curiously, "Brother Zhu, aren't you staying here tonight?"
Zhu Que casually replied, "Yes, I'm staying at a friend's house temporarily."
He had already prepared his response.
It was originally prepared for the farm manager, Tang Dongfang. If Tang Dongfang found out that he was not coming home every night and questioned him about where he had been, he could use this excuse to bring up Xiao Cai in a natural way.
If you casually blur the line between his relationship with Xiao Cai, even the fact that he brings breakfast to Sun Zheng every day can be explained.
"It's so much better to live outside. This place is so severely eroded and polluted; it's not a place for humans to live at all."
Peng Yong immediately showed an envious expression.
Zhu Que said, "I'm lucky to have a good friend."
"I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow too. The food at the landfill is terrible. Let's eat well and then work hard together."
"Thank you so much, Brother Zhu!"
Peng Yong's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded repeatedly.
Zhu Que smiled and didn't say anything more.
However, his smile faded slightly as he turned around.
He was now very confident in Sun Zheng, but he still didn't know much about this new friend, so it was always a good thing to be a little more cautious.
After the workday ends.
As usual, Zhu Que left the junkyard with some discarded and damaged items needed for imitation.
A small room in the corner.
Peng Yong watched Zhu Que's departing figure through the gap in the curtain and asked curiously, "Brother Sun, is Brother Zhu really staying at a friend's house temporarily?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know."
Sun Zheng spoke calmly, then paused and added, "You'd better not ask. Knowing too much isn't a good thing."
"I understand, I understand."
Peng Yong shrank back and didn't ask any more questions.
This little incident did not have any substantial impact on Zhu Que's daily life.
Time continued to flow, and another week passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Que's cultivation level improved rapidly under the nourishment of the abundant spiritual energy in the intermediate cultivation room, and with the help of artificial and pirated spiritual artifacts.
He did a quick calculation, considering his current cultivation conditions—
The environment includes a high-grade Xuan-level artificial spiritual root, three second-tier cultivation-type spiritual artifacts, and an intermediate-level cultivation room.
Overall, this is equivalent to the cultivation resources that a wealthy family of the third class would invest in for their child.
In addition, he accumulated a considerable amount of spirit coins, making ample preparations for his future cultivation path.
Intermediate training room.
Zhu Que sat cross-legged, his clothes soaked with sweat.
Beneath his skin, his muscles were extremely taut, and deep within his bones came a series of subtle, continuous tremors.
It was as if his entire body was being dismantled and reassembled by a force.
Above his head, white mist rose and swirled.
Spiritual energy gathered and swirled around him, forming a vortex of spiritual energy.
Within Zhu Que's body, he manipulated a surge of spiritual energy that flowed through his eight extraordinary meridians.
The meridians, repeatedly strengthened and tempered, emitted an extremely faint humming sound under the cleansing of spiritual energy.
That's a sign that a transformation is about to occur after reaching the limit of endurance.
Every bit of flesh and blood, every inch of bone and tendon, every meridian was greatly strengthened at this moment.
"call--"
Zhu Que's breathing gradually became long and even, and with the rise and fall of his chest, he seemed to merge with the surrounding spiritual energy.
at last.
When that spiritual energy circulated for one cycle and returned to the dantian, an unprecedented feeling of comfort instantly swept over the whole body.
next moment.
Zhu Que suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp yet restrained glint flashed in his slightly cloudy pupils.
"Have I broken through?"
He exhaled a breath of stale air and then used a portable testing device to check his basic data.
"Buzz—"
The detector vibrated slightly, and soon his basic data appeared on the screen one by one.
-
Spiritual Root: High-grade Profound level (artificial)
Cultivation Realm: Second Level of Qi Refining
Dao Heart Stability: Chu Hui 59%
Overall physical fitness: 8.91
Physical condition: Distortion 13.8%
-
Second level of Qi Refining!
I did indeed break through!
Zhu Que's face showed delight.
Looking at other data, the stability of the Dao Heart has improved somewhat.
The most obvious change was in overall physical fitness, which increased several times over.
The distortion also increased slightly.
Zhu Que stood up, moved his limbs slightly, and immediately noticed the changes in his body.
She seemed to have grown a little taller, and her shoulders and back were no longer thin; the loose clothes were now stretched to fit her better.
Although the limbs are still very thin due to the deformity, the torso has become strong and has very well-proportioned muscles.
Zhu Que took a deep breath, tried to steady himself, and then threw a punch into the air.
"Snapped!"
The fist sliced through the air, producing a crisp, explosive sound.
Zhu Que looked at his hands with great satisfaction.
Given his current overall physical attributes, even seven or eight adults who haven't cultivated would probably be unable to get close to him.
of course.
Zhu Que was well aware of this.
His current combat strength can be described as very weak.
He only knew how to circulate spiritual energy, but had never practiced any magic or martial arts, nor had he ever truly experienced combat.
Even against a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining, the outcome might be unpredictable.
but.
Zhu Que doesn't need to fight right now. By simply replicating some firearms and magical artifacts, he can barely manage to retaliate.
After a moment of calm contemplation, he formulated his next cultivation goal—
"First of all, we still need to continue collecting second-tier spiritual artifacts. There's never too much spiritual artifact that can improve cultivation efficiency."
"Secondly, once you reach the second level of Qi Refining, you can inject various medicinal liquids. This aspect of improvement is absolutely essential."
"Finally, try learning magic and martial arts, even the most basic ones, which can greatly improve your combat power."
