Chapter 27: Cultivation Methods

"Just waiting for the rest of the packages to arrive, then I can conduct further experiments."

He Zhi was now somewhat impatient.

He had bought quite a few things, but only two types of medicinal ingredients had arrived so far.

However, such matters couldn't be rushed. He Zhi quickly suppressed his impatience and looked at the Spiritual Pills on the table again.

"The Qingxuan Sect Master said these Spiritual Pills can be used for cultivation?"

"How exactly do you cultivate with them?"

He Zhi was somewhat puzzled.

He had just felt that after his Magic Power was fully replenished, it seemed to stop increasing.

There was no cultivation effect at all.

Thus, he looked at the screen again, hoping the Sect Master could provide an explanation.

In the Cultivation World.

"Everyone stop cultivating and come out!"

The Sect Master shouted loudly.

Immediately, the disciples immersed in cultivation opened their eyes one after another and walked out.

"These are the freshly refined Spiritual Pills and Flying Swords. Everyone take yours."

The Sect Master distributed the Spiritual Pills and Flying Swords to them.

In the process, the meticulous Sect Master noticed that one Flying Sword was missing, and a few Spiritual Pills were short as well.

He couldn't figure it out and assumed he had miscounted due to fatigue.

Fortunately, the Sect Master had refined extras as backup.

Soon, every disciple of the Qingxuan Sect had a high-grade Flying Sword sword embryo in hand.

And a bottle of Spiritual Pills refined from 'Millennium Spiritual Herbs,' with a full hundred pills in each bottle.

The disciples touched their Flying Swords and pill bottles, all wearing expressions of disbelief.

Qingxuan Sect had been dirt poor. Such precious treasures were something most of them had never dreamed of possessing before.

Yet now everyone had a share—it felt just like a dream.

And all these changes had started with the Grand Elder's arrival...

"Everyone, stay composed! You look like idiots grinning like that! Don't let the Grand Elder see and laugh at us!"

The Sect Master scolded, though the corners of his own mouth were struggling to stay straight.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

"We disciples will go cultivate right away and won't fail to live up to the Grand Elder's generous gifts!"

The crowd of disciples responded solemnly, eager to return to their quiet rooms and continue cultivating.

The Grand Elder was so generous—if they didn't work hard now, could they even call themselves human?

"Hold on! What's the rush!"

The Sect Master hurriedly stopped them.

"Cultivation isn't just about sitting in meditation and refining Qi."

"You can also Sword Flight, spar and exchange techniques, deplete your Magic Power completely, then recover with these Spiritual Pills! Continue sparring until you're utterly exhausted."

"One Spiritual Pill can restore all your Magic Power—and with plenty to spare!"

"After depleting your Magic Power completely and then recovering, it will increase just a little. Accumulated over time, there will naturally be significant progress."

"This is also a cultivation method."

"Cultivating this way is actually faster than ordinary meditation, and the Magic Power you gain is more flexible and resilient—perfect for combat!"

"We didn't tell you before because we lacked Spiritual Pills to restore Magic Power. Now with the Grand Elder granting Millennium Spiritual Herbs, there's no need to worry."

The Sect Master announced loudly.

"So there's this kind of cultivation method?"

The disciples all came to a sudden realization.

"Sect Master, the Spiritual Pills are limited in number. What if we run out?"

One disciple asked worriedly.

"Haha, with so many Millennium Spiritual Herbs, how could we only refine this many Qi Replenishing Pills?"

"We've only used half a stalk so far, and plenty remains."

The Sect Master laughed heartily.

When refining the Qi Replenishing Pills, he had added many auxiliary materials, yielding a whole furnace from just half a stalk of Spiritual Herb.

"Then this disciple feels reassured."

The disciples had no more doubts.

Then, they all eagerly began trying Sword Flight, practicing formations, and sparring with each other, completely disregarding their Magic Power consumption.

In the real world.

"I see."

He Zhi understood now.

"I'll give it a try too."

He Zhi reached out for the small Flying Sword again and poured his Magic Power into it.

A moment later, his Magic Power was completely depleted.

Then he swallowed one Spiritual Pill directly.

Under the pill's effect, his Magic Power began recovering steadily.

He Zhi continued pouring Magic Power into the Flying Sword.

Half an hour later, He Zhi's face lit up with joy.

He felt his Magic Power had strengthened somewhat.

Roughly equivalent to more than two hours of meditation.

"The effect is so strong!"

He Zhi couldn't help exclaiming.

This cultivation method was much faster than before.

And at this moment, the Spiritual Pill's effect in his stomach hadn't faded yet, still providing him with a steady stream of Magic Power.

After all, He Zhi's Magic Power was too weak. One pill would probably last him a whole day, or even longer.

Moreover, the refined Spiritual Pill was quite mild and wouldn't risk Magic Power overload causing his body to explode.

So He Zhi decided—he'd cultivate this way from now on!

Speed increased by four or five times!

Though with his Five Element Spirit Roots, even four or five times faster wasn't that impressive...

"Sure enough, cultivation really needs resources!"

He Zhi sighed sincerely.

Without Spiritual Pills, how could he cultivate like this?

In the Cultivation World.

"The improvement is so fast! Way faster than meditation!"

"Sure enough, cultivation really needs resources!"

"All thanks to the Grand Elder's generous gifts!"

At this time, the Qingxuan Sect disciples had also noticed the changes in their Magic Power.

They immediately let out the exact same exclamations as He Zhi.

Before, they only knew to cultivate with Spirit Stones in meditation, and even then, they were reluctant to use too many.

No choice—they were poor!

Now, using Spiritual Pills refined from Millennium Spiritual Herbs, they finally knew what true cultivation was.

Beside them, the Sect Master and others watched with smiles on their faces.

If they kept cultivating like this, the Qingxuan Sect disciples' strength would surely explode in growth.

"Fellow junior brothers and sisters, let's spar as well."

The Sect Master suddenly brought out his own magical artifact and blasted toward the nearby Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Senior Brother, perfect timing!"

Those Foundation Establishment cultivators hurriedly brought out their magical artifacts and clashed with the Sect Master.

This cultivation method wasn't just for Qi Refining Stage disciples.

They Foundation Establishment powerhouses could use it too!

Thus, everyone cultivated until evening, ending only when they were all visibly fatigued.

This method was fast but tiring.

Over time, even Spiritual Pills couldn't recover the accumulated fatigue.

At such times, they needed rest—and the natural way to rest was... meditation cultivation.

So the crowd returned to their quiet rooms once more, sitting in meditation to recover.

They trained from morning till night without stopping.

At the foot of Qingxuan Mountain, a hundred li away.

"Outrageous! Using Qi Replenishing Pills for cultivation?"

"These are refined from Millennium Spiritual Herbs—extremely precious, meant for replenishing Magic Power in combat to save lives. And they're wasting them so extravagantly?"

"Is that mysterious Nascent Soul cultivator really that wealthy?"

Ge Ming, observing the Qingxuan Sect's cultivation scene from a hundred li away, couldn't help exclaiming in shock.
