Chapter 20 Cultivation, Purchase
Zhuo Er Photo Collection, Volume 1.52
[Hydrogen Wind]: "This...this isn't right, boss."
[Azure Netherworld - Xuanzhenzi]: "Yes, brother, you're right."
Thank goodness, Lu Qingfeng originally thought this was some kind of forbidden item, or at the very least, some kind of illegal prop.
Who would have thought it was a photo album?
The era of oppressive online variety shows has arrived.
[Qingming Realm - Xuanzhenzi]: "Alright, stop bothering me, I'm going to deliver the materials to my junior brother."
The big boss has indicated his intention to go offline.
Lu Qingfeng also needed to strengthen himself.
Just as he was preparing to start learning breathing techniques, the big boss sent him another message.
[Azure Netherworld - Xuanzhenzi]: "Just think of the tax as an 11% discount on your purchase. I checked some information, and it seems to be another unique self-protection mechanism in the primordial plane. The deducted money is used for item security checks."
This sudden news startled Lu Qingfeng, who wanted to send more messages to inquire further.
The user you are trying to reach has logged off. Please leave a message if you need anything.
Fine.
However, regarding the security review mentioned by the big boss, Lu Qingfeng glanced at the notes on the breathing technique and thought, "Fine, then this 10% is worth it."
But why the censorship? He recalled his game license number and the dimensional portal being closed. Was this the world's self-protection mechanism?
Forget it, never mind. At least with the dual scrutiny of the world consciousness and the comprehensive network, he can use the items traded this way with peace of mind.
The most important thing right now is:
"Add points to the network... oops, I mean, learn skills!"
Should I study "Basic Breathing Techniques: Cultivating Qi"?
[Study successful!]
A multitude of methods regarding breathing rhythms and the circulation of qi and blood flooded my mind.
This method is indeed basic, but it is clearly organized and gets straight to the heart of the matter.
Lu Qingfeng instantly grasped its core meaning.
This breathing method uses specific breathing rhythms to draw in the life energy of heaven and earth into the body, allowing it to blend with one's own qi and blood, thus achieving the effect of nourishing, strengthening, and endlessly regenerating.
He subconsciously adjusted his breathing according to the method, and with each inhale and exhale, his mind sank into his dantian, as if a warm lamp had been lit there.
As his breathing gradually settled into a rhythm, the slightly restless blood and qi in his body seemed to be gently smoothed out by an invisible hand, flowing more smoothly and harmoniously.
A faint yet incredibly pure warmth arises from every part of the body, slowly but steadily merging into the torrent of qi and blood.
"nice one!"
Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and restrained, and his mental fatigue was greatly relieved.
"This thing works way better than sleeping!"
[As you continue practicing the "Basic Breathing Techniques: Nourishing Qi," your Qi and blood receive a slight nourishment.]
The integrated network notification appears in a timely manner.
Time slipped away quietly during the training.
Lu Qingfeng, who had cultivated for six hours during a period of spiritual weakness, got up once again.
Feeling the immense power within me, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Finally, things are starting to look a little better..."
Previously, I had not received any systematic training and had relied entirely on brute force to get through things.
"I always feel like I have a lot of things to supplement."
Lu Qingfeng muttered to himself, his gaze falling on the balance on the integrated network panel—1090 disaster coins.
Although the transit tax eroded 60 points of Xuanzhenzi's transaction, the remaining 540 points, combined with his previous savings, still amounted to a huge sum.
Thinking of the 60 disaster coins that had been taken away, Lu Qingfeng's heart still couldn't help but clench with pain.
However, the "Basic Breathing Techniques" book that the big shot gave him as a final gift somewhat eased this heartache.
He clicked on the [Disaster Coins & Items Trading Area (Apprentice Only)], and a dazzling array of product information instantly flooded the screen.
Before, I was too broke to do anything but look, but now that I have the financial means, I can finally buy some things to properly equip myself.
"But will I have to pay tax when I buy things?"
I remembered that Master Xuanzhenzi once mentioned that he would also be charged a fee.
Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but shudder, but he still felt it was necessary to strengthen himself.
"Dad, why didn't you open the forum sooner?"
Because of the 10% tax on that construction, knowledge is still the primary source of income for now.
After all, the big shot had said that the photo album he shared with him would be free.
So, is the principle behind charging fees to prevent illegal entry?
No, then in that case, extraordinary knowledge should also be a form of pollution.
Could it be that photo albums are no longer useful?
Emmmm......
Since you're going to decide to shop, you need to know what you're lacking.
Lu Qingfeng walked to the front hall, took out paper and pen, and began to consider what he needed.
For now, my defense and attack capabilities are sufficient.
It has a body of steel, although the upper limit has not yet been determined.
Attacking is even simpler; Chongyue's combined strength and abundant blood are enough to crush the current enemies.
In terms of mental strength, they have the newly acquired Spirit Amulet, and their special skills are also sufficient.
So what's lacking is only spell resistance, energy reserves, and means of pursuit and escape.
In addition, the ability to detect is also slightly lacking (not at all), after all, I almost failed to detect the painted-skin demon back then.
One's own energy system is composed of secret techniques and vital energy.
The composition of the arcane power is still unknown, so its restoration is out of the question.
While some people's vital energy and blood can slowly recover after a battle, they cannot do so during combat.
Perhaps I could buy some healing potions?
The market price is roughly 10 Disaster Coins for a set of low-level healing potions.
The effect is roughly as follows:
[Low-level healing potions]
Type: Recovery item
Effect: Slowly restores 10% of maximum health after use.
P.S.: Beginner potions, an essential for novice adventurers — Legendary Adventurer Labraf
Oh, and there are also medications for treating mental illnesses, which can be purchased through the online store.
The effect is roughly the same as above.
However, if all the above requirements are to be met, it seems that one could practice some cultivation techniques.
After sketching and drawing on the paper, Lu Qingfeng knew what he needed.
But you can't just buy things randomly.
He posted another thread on the forum:
[Help Needed: I'm a newbie on the Eastern side and I'm having trouble with enhancements. I desperately need help from experienced players! ●v●]
[Requirements are attached below, and only 8-900 in start-up capital is available.]
Shortly after I posted the message, I received a reply.
Unlike last time, this time, many people are willing to answer the questions.
Because that's part of the fun of nurturing... I guess.
Lu Qingfeng said he didn't understand the thoughts of these seniors.
"Oh ho, that's disgusting. Little sister, this little bit of money is hard for me to handle."
"Yes, brothers, there are alternative versions. By the way, the poster upstairs is a boy."
"Wouldn't that be better?"
“…………”
The discussion quickly became skewed, but there were still some reliable answers mixed in.
"Eastern side newbie? Qi and blood martial arts? Tsk, your attribute template is pretty domineering. How about 'Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada'? Strong explosive power, enough for short-distance movement, but it takes a bit of effort."
"Is that 'Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada' upstairs for running away? I suggest 'Flying on Grass.' The name is a bit rustic, but it has the advantage of a long breath, which is good for long-distance running and dodging continuous attacks. Plus, it's easy to learn."
"As for the lightness skill you mentioned, I highly recommend 'Ladder Cloud Leap'. Everyone who's used it raves about it. The prerequisites are low; anyone can practice it. Most importantly, it looks cool—it was carefully selected by our ancestors."
