Violet and Qi Cultivation 1.7

Hmm...

I woke up as the sunlight streamed through the window and gently caressed my face, stirring me from my slumber. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and realized that a small amount of drool had escaped from the corner of my mouth during the night. Feeling grateful that no one was around to witness my unbecoming appearance, I gazed upward and attempted to recall the events from the previous day.

And then it hit me, I had transmigrated into this new world.

I sprang from the bed and strode towards the bathroom, grateful for its existence in this world. I couldn't imagine living without it. Living in the modern world, the bathroom has become as much of a necessity as the food itself. Though I might be exaggerating a bit, I was truly thankful.

I brushed my teeth and took a shower. After getting dressed, I donned the outer robe that I had acquired and turned to the mirror to assess my appearance.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I was stunned. Damn...I look good.

I was taken aback by my reflection and couldn't help but feel a bit vain. I know that every man, at some point, has dreamed of increasing their charisma, and those who claim otherwise are either ascetics or not being truthful.

The figure gazing back at me in the mirror was more beautiful than any woman I had ever seen. Although this was not the type of beauty that I had in mind when I created my character, I couldn't deny that my future prospects were now looking bright and radiant.

Humming a slight tune, I walked to the desk and picked up the Qi Cultivation manual.

[Insight]

I activated insight and felt the familiar warmth spread throughout my body, enhancing my senses and bringing clarity to my surroundings. It was as though I was seeing the world for the first time, much like a person with near-sightedness putting on their glasses.

I eagerly opened the manual on Qi cultivation and began to comprehend it.

To embark on the journey of cultivation and transcend one's mortal limitations, the first step is to attune to the spiritual energy that permeates the environment. This requires the presence of a spiritual root, which acts as a barometer of one's sensitivity to spiritual energy. The higher the grade of the spiritual root, the greater one's sensitivity to spiritual energy will be.

Once a connection to the spiritual energy has been established, the next step is to absorb and refine it, molding it into a concentrated form of spiritual qi that nourishes both the body and soul. No wonder, the first stage of Cultivation is called Qi condensation.

Overall, The manual was really quite basic. It just tells you to meditate and breathe until you can sense something weird which is spiritual energy. Whoever wrote this booklet was underpaid...

Determined to progress in my cultivation journey, I settled into a meditative position on my bed. I closed my eyes and focused on sensing the spiritual energy that surrounded me. This was a difficult task, as it was much like trying to feel the presence of oxygen in the air - intangible and unseen.

Clearing my mind, I concentrated on sensing any fluctuations in spiritual energy. Thanks to my enhanced perception and senses brought on by insight, I quickly fell into a trance-like state, fully absorbed in my cultivation practice.

So I started to breathe rhythmically,

Inhale...

Exhale...

Inhale...

...

Suddenly, I felt something strange in the air around me. I instinctively focused on absorbing the spiritual energy and was amazed as my dormant spiritual root sprang to life, gathering the gaseous energy and condensing it into droplets.

And just like that, I became a cultivator at the stage of Qi Condensation.

...I don't feel any different.

There was no grand revelation or transformation, and I couldn't help feeling a little silly for having expected something more dramatic.

Determined to put my newfound abilities to the test, I tried circulating the condensed spiritual qi through my veins. To my surprise, it was incredibly easy. The power of insight was truly a cheat - it allowed me to perfectly sense and manipulate spiritual qi, even after only an hour of cultivation practice.

I reminisced about what I had learned in the game, where it was stated that a normal high-grade spiritual root typically took around a week to sense spiritual energy. However, information on the time it took for a top-grade spiritual root to sense spiritual energy was scarce.

By the way, Xiao Tian, with the aid of his portable grandfather, was able to sense spiritual energy within a week. In comparison, those with low-grade spiritual roots were said to take around 6 months, making Xiao Tian's speed truly remarkable. He was, after all, one of the main characters.

As I sat on the bed, idly swinging my legs, I was struck by a sudden sensation.

I felt hungry.

Quickly, I hopped down from the bed and stepped out of the house in search of food.

...

[Qin Yue]

"Don't be mad, sister," Qin Yue said, attempting to appease her sibling who was currently ignoring her.

"Hmph!" Liuli didn't even glance in her direction, instead continuing to focus on her meal.

Though she knew she may have teased her younger sister a bit excessively, the look of embarrassment on her face had been too irresistible to resist.

As Qin Yue tried to make amends, a sudden stir swept through the dining hall.

A new figure had entered the room, dressed in a blue robe with white stripes and black pants. Both the boys and girls were whispering among themselves, their gaze fixated on the person. Each step the person took was carefree, not allowing anything to faze them.

Unconsciously, Qin Yue let out a whistle of admiration at the sight of the stunning face that had emerged from behind the blue robe. The perfect features, accompanied by two captivating violet gems for eyes, seemed to be peering at something unknown. How could anyone be so perfect? She glanced at her own ample bosom and then at the beautiful flat-chested girl carrying a tray, and she smiled, pumping her fist in encouragement.

"Hey, Qin Yue, it's Bai Yu! Signal for her to come over here." It seemed her sister's mood had finally improved. Qin Yue raised her hand to signal for the beautiful black-haired girl to join them.

...

A/N: It is so confusing how people sense spiritual energy. In most stories, they just seem to sense something and they become a cultivator. So, my description may be a bit inadequate.
