Crossing the first Realm, End of ( prologue ) Volume 1

"Lord Ren after You managed to crystalize Your brain and establish Mind Palace Your mental power skyrocket! Now Finding meridians and cleansing them with 'meridian cleansing elixir' should be as easy as breathing for You. Thanks to all the resources You used, Your body and mind is currently at peak stage even tho Your body development is in early stages thanks to Your low age! Ahh i remeber back then..." After Ren Li crossed 8th stage that made many feel headache it was finally time to take the most real and meaningful step towards the cultivation world! Meridians were naturally not suited to gather QI by themself ( in passive mode ). It was possible to gather QI in meditation with full concentraion - which was also the way many did it at body tempering stage, but after crossing 8th stage it became way simpler. However once the meridian became cleansed and fully unlocked, the gathering speed and no need for meditation boost one cultivation prowess in this ability many times over.

Simply put it a person who was at 5stage and had a decent skill for meditation could gather 1 low grade spirit stone worth of QI during a year, if they medidated at least 8 hours per day. Person who crossed 8th stage could gather 10 low grade spirit stones worth of QI!!! It was 10times as much on average, of course for some it was more, for some it was less. While person who cleansed their meridians could start the real QI gathering. Without meditating they could gather 1 mid grade ( 100 low grade ) spirit stones worth of QI during a year. While active meditation could boost this process even a few times, depends on the skill.

Of course its the so called average. It means that person with average Psychique could gather 1 mid grade spirit stone during a year and also absorb 1 mid grade spirit stone to help with his cultivation. This also refers to the speed to Elixir/pasta absorbtion. Even if Alchemy products help by a lot and compared to absorbing spirit stones the speed is many times faster, this average talent refers to about ten 4th grade alchemy products refined per year! Those of the higher grades in general takes more time. Of course there are myriad Alchemy elixirs or pills so its just saying by average.

Those with high talent for it have speed 10 times as fast! But they are also 10 times as rare, thats why most cultivatiors have average score for this, whole those with lower can hardly cultivate. They are basically wasting world QI and resources by doing so!

There also exists psyhiques that greatly improve this speed even as much as 1000 times! For example, World QI Body is perfect for QI gathering / Spiritual stones absorbing. There are diffrent qualities of this psychique but even low quality one can absorb as much as 50 times faster than average cultivator! Another special type is Seamless body, it allows a cultivator to basically absorb as many Alchemy resources as they can! This type may not be the most useful, but was very unique thats why it was called Ascension body. Those who possed high talent and Seamless body were heavily invested by powerful forces which in turn made their cultivation speed really fast. And thanks to all the powerful Alchemy products they were often many times as powerful as cultivators of their stages!

As Ren Li in the end managed to cross this stage in less than a month, which was average at best with his help - he became second realm cultivators before the age of seven! It wasnt really impressive, but it was still worth bragging about. He was already of the Ren clan strongest experts!!
