Chapter 25: 025, [Upgrading Practice is a Man I s Romance]

Outside the Small Study, fireflies still fluttered about, the full moon hung in the sky, seemingly close but actually far away.

On such a tranquil night, Lu Xun began his first cultivation in this life.

As mentioned earlier, one could acquire experience points not just by undertaking tasks or slaying monsters, but even by earnestly meditating and cultivating. Once the experience points were full, the cultivation technique could be upgraded.

Currently, Lu Xun’s enlightenment level was 1. The number of experience points acquired through cultivation would be rather small, but he still wanted to give it a shot with a calm mind.

After all, he should thoroughly experience it for the first time.

Instant leveling up would be too quick, like a flash upgrade.

But too fast might not necessarily be a good thing.

Closing his eyes and sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lu Xun began to attempt to circulate his energy.

He did not know that his neighbor, Mao Nanbei, was no longer lying in bed but sitting up, his cat ears standing straight up.

In the small bamboo grove, the Taoist Nun on the stone also turned her head slightly, looking in the direction of the Small Study.

With the master and other seniors not at home, the responsibility of overseeing the cultivation of their little junior brother naturally fell on the two of them.

Lu Xun’s talent wasn’t good, this was no longer a secret. But the journey of cultivation has its wonders, many things are hard to explain.

The key to the Qi Consumption Technique was clearly written in its name – it was about the consumption of nature’s spiritual energy.

More specifically, not just the Demon Sect, all cultivation techniques of the demon faction followed this way.

Lu Xun’s talent wasn’t good, he could sense a relatively thin amount of nature’s spiritual energy and his rate of absorption was rather slow.

But, he was someone who could focus when doing something and had an unwavering mind; that was a great advantage.

Before long, he started feeling itchy all over.

Being his first time, it was normal to not be used to it. Feeling a little itchy, what’s so strange about that?

Soon after, he felt a bit of pain.

Being his first time, it was understandable to feel a little pain.

Then, the slight pain turned into severe pain!

“Damn it!” Lu Xun almost broke concentration, but he quickly forced himself to calm down and continued cultivating.

If he gave up halfway now, who knew what kind of hidden dangers he might leave behind.

Going berserk would not happen. Only those with a high cultivation base were qualified to go berserk; rookies didn’t have the privilege.

But it definitely wouldn’t be beneficial.

As things progressed, Lu Xun started to feel a bit dazed from the pain.

“Why is it different from what’s written in the novels?!” was his only thought right now.

But then again, if cultivating was as comfortable as getting a massage, it would be pure enjoyment.

Anyone could enjoy leisure, right?

But in reality, cultivating was quite painful, requiring a big determination.

Many individuals had the talent, but lacked the will, hence they did not achieve anything.

Although Lu Xun could currently use experience points to level up, he also wanted to see where his limit was during his first time.

To practice a cultivation technique once was referred to as a minor circulation, and to practice ten times constituted a grand circulation. Lu Xun wanted to see how far he could go.

As time passed by, his entire body had already soaked through with sweat.

Because of the intense pain, his body began to sweat profusely.

Enduring pain – Getting used to pain – Enjoying pain. This was the process.

Lu Xun might have been inherently talented; he seemed to have reached the level of getting used to pain.

One minor circulation, two minor circulations, three minor circulations…

Ji Li, who had been watching on the side, was already stunned.

Even Mao Nanbei next door was startled, the pupils of his eyes almost turning to ellipses.

When he first cultivated… he didn’t seem as tolerant as Lu Nun!
