Apart from the shock he felt when he first obtained the system, that was the second time Ye Lingchen was so shocked.
What Qi Refinement represented was self-evident!
It was beyond amazing!
Putting down the Big Dipper Scripture, Ye Lingchen eagerly picked up the Nan Hua Sutra.
'Self-studying the Nan Hua Sutra, Qi Refinement proficiency + 1.'
'Self-studying the Nan Hua Sutra, Qi Refinement proficiency + 1.'
'Self-studying the Nan Hua Sutra, Qi Refinement proficiency + 1.'
…
This time, the Qi Refinement proficiency only increased from 6% to 11% before stopping. It was obvious that to reach 100% for Qi Refinement, he would need a large number of Daoist books.
Fortunately, there were plenty of books here.
Ye Lingchen smiled, then picked up another Daoist book.
As his proficiency increased, Ye Lingchen's understanding of Qi Refinement gradually deepened.
Qi Refinement was not as heaven-defying as Ye Lingchen had imagined it to be. It was even more impossible for one to become immortal. To put it bluntly, it was just a more advanced Qi cultivation method.
What Qi Refinement absorbed was the spiritual energy in the air, and this spiritual energy gathered in the body. It would not have the power to destroy the world, but it could subtly change a person's physique. For example, one's eyes could see further, their ears were more sensitive, and they could recover faster from sickness or injury, or they could live longer.
For example, in ancient times, there were people who relied on Qi Refinement to live for more than 150 years!
Of course, those effects were not bad, but compared to immortal cultivation, they were still lacking.
By the time Ye Lingchen reached the twentieth book, his Qi Refinement proficiency had finally reached 55%. It could be said that it was the most difficult type of knowledge he had ever encountered. Daoist knowledge was truly profound.
At that point, Ye Lingchen had a good grasp of Qi Refinement. He did not need to sit cross-legged or assume a specific posture. All he needed to do was to focus and he would be able to achieve the effects of Qi Refinement.
Ye Lingchen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and stood still on the spot.
In an instant, he had a mysterious feeling. It was as if he was in an independent space. There was no sky or earth, only air around him. His body was floating in the air.
The next moment, the air entered his body through his pores and settled in his Dantian.
The inner force cultivated by martial artists was active between the meridians and flesh. On the other hand, Qi Refinement was in the Dantian. One had destructive and defensive powers, while the other could nourish the body. It was equivalent to a support. Both had their own merits.
"Student, student …"
Right at that moment, a series of voices called out to him, bringing him back to his senses.
Beside him, a young woman in her thirties, dressed in a gorgeous cheongsam, was staring at him in a daze.
"Hello." Ye Lingchen came back to his senses and asked, "How may I help you?"
The young woman shook her head and said, "I saw that you've been standing here for a long time, so I came to take a look. You've been standing here for an hour. If you like to read, there are seats over there. I'll sit with you."
Ye Lingchen was slightly taken aback. He did not expect that an hour had passed without him noticing. It was no wonder cultivators said that there was no time in the mountains. This was too terrifying.
"Oh, it's fine. Thank you." Ye Lingchen rejected the woman's kindness with a smile, then took out another Daoist scripture.
The woman looked at Ye Lingchen with a hint of disappointment. She wanted to say something but did not. In the end, she could only retreat to the side. However, her eyes kept sneaking glances at Ye Lingchen.
She felt a special attraction from Ye Lingchen. It was like staying in an air-conditioned room in summer. It was very comfortable. When she got close to him, her body and mind relaxed, making her feel very comfortable.
Ye Lingchen naturally noticed the woman's gaze. He was pleased with his own charm and continued to immerse himself in the sea of books.
'Self-studying Tao Te Ching, Qi Refinement proficiency + 1.'
'Self-studying Tao Te Ching, Qi Refinement proficiency + 1.'
'Self-studying Tao Te Ching, Qi Refinement proficiency + 1.'
…
Looking at the Tao Te Ching in his hand, Ye Lingchen revealed a surprised expression. That was the book that increased his Qi Refinement proficiency the most. It actually increased his proficiency by 12%. Moreover, that was in the later stages, when proficiency was even harder to increase.
When Ye Lingchen browsed through all the Daoist scriptures on the shelf, his proficiency finally reached 100%. At that point, even if Ye Lingchen was not cultivating, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would continue to flow into his body. In other words, Ye Lingchen was constantly refining Qi.
Awesome!
Since ancient times, there were probably only a handful of people who could improve Qi Refinement to this level.
Ye Lingchen smiled slightly and could not help but look forward to it. He wondered what would happen if his Qi Refinement skill was upgraded.
Reading books could really bring surprises. Ye Lingchen continued to wander around the library, picking up some unpopular books from time to time.
"Student, are you looking for a book? I come to this library often. What kind of book are you looking for? I might be able to help. "
The woman from before walked up again. This time, her body was almost touching Ye Lingchen's as she spoke with good intentions.
Following that, she squinted her eyes slightly and took a deep breath, feeling secretly pleased.
In fact, as Ye Lingchen learned Qi Refinement, the surrounding spiritual energy would unconsciously draw closer to him. Simply put, it was a magnetic field. The magnetic field around him was a favorable one. Being in such a magnetic field would gradually strengthen a person's physique and reduce diseases.
Humans were born with the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Therefore, Ye Lingchen's magnetic field would naturally attract people to him.
Ye Lingchen was taken aback by the woman's enthusiasm and could not help but take a step back. He rubbed his nose and said, "Uh, I'm looking for some special books."
"Special books?" The woman was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, very special ones." Ye Lingchen nodded.
"I understand." The woman pondered for a moment and blushed slightly. She glared at Ye Lingchen angrily, then said softly, "Why are you looking for these kinds of books? Why don't I teach you? "
Ye Lingchen was a little confused. However, he saw the woman poke her left eye at him in a charming manner. She silently took out a small pink square from her pocket, revealing the word 'ultra-thin'.
Uh …
Ye Lingchen was caught off guard by the car collision.
To be fair, the woman was indeed quite good-looking, but she was not his cup of tea.
"Ahem." He coughed softly and looked away awkwardly, rejecting the woman's good intentions.
The woman looked at Ye Lingchen's back and could not help but feel annoyed and depressed. Ye Lingchen's temperament and the inexplicable scent on him had deeply attracted her. Alas, a fallen flower yearns for love, but the heartless stream does not. It only made her sad.
It was a pity that her youth was no longer with her. Otherwise, she would have pursued him no matter what.
'Sigh, such a good man. I wonder which vixen will end up with him in the future …'
