The LOG Treasure, inside the portal related to Earth Element, seating myself on the floating seat, I commenced absorbing Earth Qi into my body. The sensation of my cultivation level skyrocketing was undeniable. After an hour of absorbing Earth Qi, I decided to halt the process, mindful of the potential harm to my body. Even with just one hour of absorption, my cultivation had already experienced a significant boost. If I applied the same approach to the other seven elements, the growth potential would be substantial.
Waving my hand, a yellow-colored scroll named 'Celestial Gaia Ascendancy,' chosen from the Earth element section of the Techniques Tower, materialized in my grasp. I delved into the cultivation technique, practicing its first move, 'Eternal Stoneheart Embodiment.' Mastering this move proved challenging, taking four hours with a few failures along the way.
'Ding'
Standing up, I exited the Earth Element Qi Space and proceeded towards the Fire Element Qi Space. The familiar scene greeted me as I approached the floating seat. Seating myself, I began cultivating and absorbing the dense Fire Qi present in the space.
'Ding'
After an hour of cultivation, I got to break through to the next stage, I opened my eyes, waving my hand to summon a red-colored scroll named 'Celestial PyroGenesis Mastery.' Opening the scroll, I started practicing its first move, 'Solar Flare Whiplash.' It took five hours of continuous practice, with a few failures, before I successfully mastered the first move.
'Ding'
After concluding my time in the Fire Element Qi Space, I moved on to the Wind Elemental Qi Space. After an hour of cultivation and absorption, I paused and selected the cultivation technique 'Zephyr Seven Steps' from storage. Focusing on the agility-oriented move, 'First Step,' it took three hours of practice to master the technique.
'Ding'
Exiting the Wind Elemental Qi Space, I left the Elemental Qi Spaces building. To make the most of my remaining time before returning to reality, I visited the garden, spending the last hour there. Eventually, I closed my eyes and returned to my room, opening them to reality.
After adjusting my cultivation level, taking a bath, and dressing, I proceeded to the dining hall for dinner with my family. After engaging in a few minutes of conversation, I later returned to my room, content and happy, and drifted off to sleep.
The following morning, I began my day with a bath and joined my family for breakfast. Subsequently, I spent the morning studying in the library until lunchtime. After the meal, I returned to my room and assisted my sisters in their cultivation.
Later, I took another bath and helped my stepmother, Long Xiu, with her cultivation. Once she left, I closed my eyes and opened them moments later, finding myself inside the LOG treasures.
Taking a brief nap upon entering the treasure, I prepared for cultivation, focusing specifically on the Water Elemental Qi Space.
'Ding'
After an hour of cultivating Qi, I got to break through to the next stage again, and then I shifted my attention to practicing the first move, 'Cosmic Torrent Surge,' of the Celestial Aquablade Symphony cultivation technique related to the Water element.
'Ding'
Four hours later, having dedicated ample time to practice, I exited the Water Elemental Qi Space. To recharge, I ate some fruits before proceeding to the Lightning Elemental Qi Space.
After an hour of cultivating Lightning Qi in the Lightning Elemental Qi Space, I shifted my focus to practicing the first move, 'Cosmic Lightning Dash Surge,' of the 'Celestial Thunderstorm Convergence' cultivation technique. The next three hours were dedicated to refining this technique before I walked out of the Lightning Elemental Qi Space.
'Ding'
Moving on, I entered the Light Elemental Qi Space. Here, the Qi felt exceptionally pure and denser than in other Elemental Qi spaces, calming my mind and accelerating my cultivation.
'Ding'
After an hour of cultivating Qi, with the help of that, I got to break through to the next stage. I transitioned to practicing the first movement, 'Ethereal Luminous Strike,' of the 'Celestial Radiance Convergence' cultivation technique related to the Light element. The intense practice continued for the next four hours.
'Ding'
Concluding my session in the Light Elemental Qi Space, I headed back to the house, recognizing the need for rest before delving into the next space. In the bedroom, I succumbed to sleep for six hours. Upon awakening, I took a bath and had some fruit before returning to the Elemental Qi Spaces building for further cultivation.
Entering the Nature Elemental Qi Space, I devoted the next hour to cultivating green Qi. With the help of that, I got to break through to the next stage, because Light and Nature Elements have thick Qi.
'Ding' 'Ding'
Following that, I began practicing the first move, 'Cosmic Arboreal Whispers,' of the 'Verdant Harmony Mastery' cultivation technique for the subsequent two hours. This technique, associated with the Nature element, is rooted in the cosmic essence of nature, this technique grants wielders the ability to communicate with animals, manipulate plant life, influence weather patterns, and possess regenerative qualities. It embodies a harmonious connection with the environment and all living beings.
'Ding'
Concluding my practice in the Nature Elemental Qi Space, I moved on to the Darkness Elemental Qi Space. As I initiated cultivation, a disturbance among my other elements prompted me to cease cultivating dark Qi. I shifted my focus to calming all elements within my body. Once equilibrium was achieved, I resumed cultivation slowly, ensuring a smooth process. After an hour, I stopped cultivating and explored the 'Celestial Abyssal Enigma' cultivation technique associated with the Darkness element. Following a study of the technique, I began practicing its first move, 'Cosmic Shadowmeld Cloaking,' a skill related to invisibility that would prove beneficial in future endeavors.
'Ding'
Devoting the next four hours to practicing the first movement of the cultivation technique related to the Darkness element, I emerged from the Darkness Elemental Qi Space. Leaving the Elemental Qi Space building, I made my way towards the garden to eat and relax. I had four hours before dinner, providing ample time to unwind in the serene surroundings.
Upon arriving in the garden, I touched my chest to check the notifications received during my cultivation and practice sessions. An off-white color panel materialized in front of me, revealing the messages and updates accumulated during the period of my focused training.

"Oh, Forest unlocked! Now I can practice martial arts and newly learned techniques there with beasts," I exclaimed with satisfaction and a happy face. As I pondered the techniques I had practiced, a sense of contentment filled me.
"These elemental techniques are top-notch, but they're incomplete. To learn every move, specific cultivation realms are required. I hope to find the next moves on the higher levels of the Techniques Tower," I thought, anticipating further advancements in my skills.
"I'm glad that techniques related to Yin and Yang, and Alchemy are complete. They don't have individual moves but levels, which upgrade as I cultivate and practice more."
Returning to reality, I joined my family for dinner and later retired to my room for the night.
The following morning, I woke up, took a bath, and completed my daily routine. Without delay, I entered the treasure and made my way to the recently unlocked forest.
"Wow... it looks like a real forest," I exclaimed with joy upon witnessing the lifelike forest within the Love of Goddesses treasure.
Excitement filled me as I considered the opportunity to practice my martial arts and newly acquired techniques there. The forest was teeming with magical beasts, offering diverse challenges for my training.
Magical beasts in the cultivation world varied in species and possessed different elemental abilities such as fire, wind, water, earth, light, nature, darkness, and lightning. These creatures were observable up to level nine, as beyond this stage, they weren't visible. Their power was comparable to Cultivators; for instance, a Level one magical beast equated to the Qi Initiate Realm (Practitioner), and Level seven magical beasts were on par with the human Transcendent Mastery Realm (Qi Ancestor), possessing enhanced physical attributes and broader experience. However, reaching higher levels was more challenging for magical beasts, requiring more time and effort compared to humans.
In the forest, I strolled through the dense foliage, actively seeking out magical beasts to test my newly acquired techniques. Before long, my gaze settled on an inferno tiger, a magical beast with a fiery disposition.
"Roar!"
The inferno tiger roared fiercely, locking its gaze on me as it charged forward. Eager for my first battle in this new world, I braced myself for the encounter.
Drawing upon the Zephyr Seven Step technique, I swiftly maneuvered, skillfully evading the magical beast's fiery onslaught. With nimble movements, I managed to avoid the searing flames narrowly.
Embracing my newfound agility, I closed in on the inferno tiger, initiating the Cosmic Torrent Surge technique. My hands channeled the elemental energy of water, and a powerful torrent surged forth, enveloping the magical beast in a watery embrace.
The collision of fire and water created a mesmerizing spectacle, giving rise to a steamy display as the two elements clashed in a dynamic encounter.
"I think that's a more powerful attack with my current Cultivation, also enough for a level 1 beast," I remarked confidently after successfully fending off the magical beast's attack.
As the dissipating mist revealed my standing victory, it became apparent that the magical beast I had vanquished was merely a creation, marked by its transformation into dust. To my surprise, a pill materialized in the same spot. Upon closer inspection, I identified it as a Tier-1 Pill. This revelation led me to the realization that the magical beast was likely conjured for my training rather than being a genuine creature. Storing the pill safely away, I ventured deeper into the forest, eager to further refine my skills.
Over the next six hours, I expertly dispatched numerous level 1 beasts using my newfound techniques, earning a variety of valuable pills as rewards. Satisfied with my accomplishments, I made my way back to the house, where I indulged in a refreshing assortment of fruits. The flavors danced on my taste buds, revitalizing me as I decided to take a well-deserved rest.
After replenishing my energy, my curiosity led me towards the unlocked Treasury. Eager to uncover potential treasures hidden within, I stepped inside, excited to explore the wealth that awaited discovery.
