Chapter 7: First Level of Qi Training

The most important thing for Yun Shang now is to draw the qi into the body. This is the world of cultivating immortals, where strength is the only real issue.

Then she flashed into the space. 

First she transplant a spiritual herbs she got earlier in the space and water it with spiritual spring water.

Apart from the spiritual spring, there was only the stone platform in the Chaos Space. She climbed directly onto the stone platform and began to meditate on it.

She slowly felt the spiritual energy around her. But Yun Shang was just a rookie who had just entered the world of immortal cultivation. It was not so easy to cause the energy to enter her body.

As expected, the first attempt failed. She either felt like she was about to fall asleep or couldn't calm down, and she could never make any progress. But Yun Shang didn't give up so easily. She tried again and again.

Gradually, Yun Shang also found the feeling, and slowly, Yun Shang entered into a state of meditation. It was pitch black all around and the world was in chaos. A few star-like things gradually emerged, red, blue, green, yellow... These small dots of light fill the dark space, adding brilliance to the endless darkness. Yun Shang knew that these star points were spiritual energy.

Yun Shang did not dare to slack off at all and concentrated on dealing with these little things. She tried hard to exude a friendly aura, and at first these little spots of light were a little wary.

He was not tempted by Yun Shang at all, but gradually discovered that Yun Shang did not seem to have any ill intentions. Then he quietly moved towards Yun Shang.

But after a while, Yun Shang's body was filled with pure white spiritual energy. But these little light balls were extremely naughty. They shuttled back and forth around Yun Shang's body and were beyond Yun Shang's control.

Yun Shang put more effort, luring the white spiritual energy towards herself and gathering it around her body.

Slowly, slowly, under Yun Shang's repeated temptations, a trace of spiritual energy finally penetrated into Yun Shang's body. With the first trace of spiritual energy taking the lead, the other spiritual energies seemed to have the motivation and rushed into Yun Shang's body.

Almost instantly, spiritual energy of various colors rushed into the meridians.

The mad influx of spiritual energy constantly washed the meridians, making them thicker and wider.

The sudden influx of spiritual energy made Yun Shang feel a little uncomfortable, and the pain made her frown again.

But she still endured the pain and guided the spiritual energy into her body.

The wider the meridians are, the more spiritual power they can carry.

The spiritual energy continues to travel and compress in the meridians, and finally enters the spiritual roots.

The spiritual roots then transport the converted spiritual power to the Dantian for storage.

The Dantian in the Qi Refining Stage is still in the shape of a gas cloud, which only continuously stores and compresses spiritual power.

Only after reaching saturation can one break through the barriers of the Qi Refining Stage and break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Yun Shang's body at this moment was like dry and cracked land, greedily absorbing the rain and dew.

It was not until dawn that Yun Shang felt that there was no more spiritual energy entering her body, and she stopped meditating.

Then use your spiritual consciousness to look within your body.

Looking at her dantian filled with rich spiritual energy, Yun Shang let out a long sigh.

She has officially entered the Qi training stage, and she can now truly be considered a member of the world of cultivation.

(The order of advancement is Qi training, Foundation Building, Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Tribulation Crossing, and Ascension. The higher you go, the more difficult it is to break through.)

It took others several months or even years to successfully induce penetration, but she only took one night.

Not only did she successfully draw Qi into her body, but her cultivation had also reached the first level of Qi Refining.

However, Yun Shang discovered a problem.

The spiritual energy that she had just introduced into her body was enough for others to push their cultivation to the fourth level of Qi Refining, but she was only at the first level.

It seems that she will have to meditate and practice hard as much as possible in the future.

But it's also good this way, as she can reserve several times more spiritual power than others.

After figuring all this out, Yun Shang stopped worrying about it when she smelled a foul odor.

Soon, Yun Shang knew what was going on.

She drew Qi into her body, successfully advanced to the first level of Qi Refining, and expelled some impurities.

Yun Shang got up reluctantly only after my body became fragrant. It is a good thing to take a bath with the spiritual spring water frequently.

After repeated treatments, the impurities in the body will gradually disappear and the skin will become much smoother and more delicate.

Not only that, Yun Shang's meridians expanded unintentionally during each bath. In this way, the spiritual energy stored in her meridians will become more, and then she will have a better chance of winning when fighting against others!

After being washed by the spiritual spring water from space, Yun Shang's meridians have expanded more than twice as much as those of ordinary people, and their meridians have also become more resilient.

It can be said that misfortune often lies behind good fortune, and good fortune often lies behind misfortune.

Yun Shang seemed to have thought of something again and concentrated her energy.

She could see everything within a 20-meter radius, and even the slight trembling of the grass was observed by her. Could this be what is called divine consciousness?

This spiritual consciousness has a great effect, but it is also very difficult to grow. Once spiritual consciousness is damaged, it is difficult to recover. But there is a solution, it just comes at a high price.

Her own sea of consciousness is also unusually vast. You know, many things will be much easier to handle if your spiritual consciousness is strong.

(The sea of consciousness is where the divine consciousness is stored. The larger the sea of consciousness, the stronger the divine consciousness.) 

After entering the first level of Qi training, the space doubled in size as Yun Shang's cultivation level increased. The spiritual power within the space also surged accordingly.

As the space expanded, a small hill appeared on the west side of the space. Yun Shang plans to use this hill specifically for growing spiritual fruits.

When the space expands in the future, she will definitely plant more spiritual fruit trees. So it is not an exaggeration to use a mountain to plant fruit trees.

The land for planting spiritual plants within the space has also expanded a bit, and even the small pond that originally contained the spiritual spring has expanded a lot, becoming the size of a stream.

Unfortunately, although she become cultivator, she doesn't have magic spells in the space, so she still the same as before just become stronger.

The technique "Chaos Art" is really extremely rare god-grade technique. But it really doesn't have any spell to learn. The second technique "Divine Soul Art" also for strengthening her spiritual consciousness and soul power that still doesn't have attack power.

The only thing she can exercise now is "Soul Transformation Technique", a magic spell that could change the appearance, body shape, soul, and adjust the external cultivation level of a cultivator at will.

Now she still doesn't meet people doesn't mean she will not. With her current beautiful appearance, she will definitely be targeted. So she really need to learn it.

She took out the "Soul Transformation Technique" jade slip and probed her spiritual sense into the jade slip, and read the contents inside. After Yun Shang memorized the contents of the jade slip, she stood up and left the space in case Xiaobai searching her.

She sat cross-legged, placed her hands on her knees, adjusted her breathing and closed her eyes.

The air in the forest was fresh, and the breeze blew on her face with the breath of the forest, just like a hypnotic. 

Yun Shang felt that her body and mind were relaxed, and she began practicing "Soul Transformation Technique".

She doesn't feel the flow of time until Xiaobai's cry rang in Yun Shang's ears, from vague to clear.

"Ahhhh!"

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

Yun Shang's consciousness gradually became clear. She opened her eyes and saw Xiaobai standing beside her, spinning around and shouting in panic.

"Xiao Bai, I'm not dead, I just fell practicing." Yun Shang smiled, "I'm sorry to have made you worried."

Xiaobai whimpered in grievance, as if saying: You scared me to death.

Yun Shang stretched and felt extremely comfortable all over. All the previous fatigue was swept away. She was full of energy and could kill a few more tigers.

"Be good, Xiaobai, don't be angry anymore." Yun Shang touched Xiaobai's head and tilted her head to look around, "What did you go to find to eat?"

"Ouch!"

When this was mentioned, Xiaobai immediately jumped up with excitement. It went around the back of a big tree and ran to Yun Shang with a pitch-black thing in its mouth. Then it loosened its mouth and the thing fell to the ground. It looked like it was dead.

Yun Shang rubbed her eyes and looked carefully -

Hmm? What is this? Bamboo rat?

Yun Shang was afraid that she had seen it wrong, so she looked again carefully. This black, furry, curled-up creature did look very much like the legendary bamboo rat.

This thing was once popular on the real Internet because of the various ways it was eaten, but she had only watched two silly videos and laughed at them. She had never really eaten it, let alone made it.

"So, how do we eat this?" Yun Shang looked at Xiao Bai and asked from the bottom of her heart, "Do we need to remove the hair and then roast it over a fire?"
