This Lin Xuan, has he perhaps transcended the spiritual body and reached the divine body? Only a divine body could possess such a cultivation speed! Such a cultivation speed, if revealed, would shock every member of the Lin family.
However, for Fang Ming, this was a normal cultivation speed. He was a practitioner of multiple systems, not solely focused on this world's cultivation system. In the gene system, he was a warrior who had unlocked the first tier of the gene lock. In the martial arts system, he was at the peak of the Earth Ranking Grandmaster, capable of being called a supreme Grandmaster, second only to immortal or demonic level martial artists. In the cultivation system of the first cultivation world, he had even cultivated the "One Qi Technique" to the sixth layer.
Setting aside the gene and martial arts systems for now, the spiritual energy cultivated by the One Qi Technique naturally had a promoting effect on the spiritual脉 opening techniques of this world. With spiritual energy surpassing the tenth layer of Condensing Pulse, comparable to the spiritual energy of the Dao Foundation realm, to then open up spiritual脈 and perform "Condensing Pulse." How smooth would the cultivation in the Condensing Pulse realm be? This was a treatment that normal Condensing Pulse realm cultivators could never achieve. Even a Dao Foundation realm cultivator, if their Dao Foundation was unexpectedly damaged and their cultivation was exhausted, would not have such an easy and quick path to re-cultivate.
Precisely because of these advantageous conditions, Fang Ming's cultivation naturally progressed smoothly, surpassing so-called geniuses by an immeasurable amount.
Feeling the four spiritual脉 within his body, Fang Ming tested them. Using the spiritual energy of the sixth layer of the One Qi Technique to circulate through these four spiritual脉, he found that the power of the spells he could cast had increased by several points. A pleased expression appeared on Fang Ming's face. He knew that his overall strength had advanced further.
Fang Ming's previous strength could only be considered as having just entered the Dao Foundation realm, with a not-so-excellent Dao Foundation for a cultivator. He had been at a disadvantage against the Third Elder. Now, the gap between Fang Ming and the Third Elder had narrowed significantly. This was a good thing for Fang Ming.
"Good!"
"My strength is improving further... This shows that the cultivation system of this world is indeed useful."
"If I can achieve the Golden Core realm in this world, I should be qualified to return to the first cultivation world and break through the protective mountain array of the Baiyun Sect."
"And the strength of the Golden Core realm is considered to have a certain status and power in many worlds."
Just as Fang Ming was carefully assessing his various strengths, the door to the room gently opened. A maid, about fifteen or sixteen years old, walked in. Fang Ming glanced at the maid, showing no surprise. The Lin family patriarch, through the Third Elder, had provided a large batch of elixirs as compensation and given him a large courtyard as compensation. Naturally, he had not forgotten to arrange servants for Fang Ming. The Lin family patriarch had arranged eight maids for Fang Ming, and the maid who had just entered was one of them.
Fang Ming remained seated. After the maid finished washing his teeth and face, she changed him into a sky-blue treasure robe. This treasure robe was of the mortal-grade mid-tier, possessing considerable defensive effects, and was a garment only qualified for the geniuses within the clan. Wearing it, Fang Ming felt it was incredibly soft and exceptionally comfortable.
After getting dressed, Fang Ming looked at himself in the mirror. The young man appeared to be around thirteen or fourteen years old, with a hint of childishness. He wore a sky-blue treasure robe made of superior spirit silk, his black hair slightly fluttering, his skin fair, and his features handsome. This was a stark contrast to his previous tattered and patched clothes.
"This aura is indeed more handsome. As they say, clothes make the man; superior clothing adds to a person's charm." Fang Ming nodded with satisfaction. In reality, Lin Xuan's original appearance was somewhat handsome, but wearing ragged clothes and toiling all day, covered in dirt and grime, made him look weathered. Once he changed into good clothes and tidied himself up, he became a sunny, handsome youth.
"Young Master, lunch will be served shortly," a maid said respectfully from the side. Fang Ming nodded, signaling her to proceed at her own pace, and then lazily reclined on the soft chair.
Before long, another maid came in from outside with several food boxes. Plates of exquisite pastries and small dishes were presented and placed before Fang Ming's table. As the food was arranged, a fragrant aroma filled the air. To maintain Lin Xuan's persona, Fang Ming asked the maid to call Lin Zhuyu over to share lunch.
"Today's meal is... simply wonderful." Upon seeing the food, Lin Zhuyu immediately reached out with her hands. Clearly, the food brought her immense joy. Lin Zhuyu had previously struggled to eat her fill for three meals a day, let alone enjoy such a lavish and precious meal. Thus, she was eating with great gusto.
"Zhuyu, eat slowly," Fang Ming said as he ate. Unlike Lin Zhuyu, Fang Ming had been almost invincible in the martial world, even the eight supreme immortal and demonic experts had avoided him when encountering danger, not daring to appear before him. Therefore, in the martial world, Fang Ming had tasted many delicacies due to his strength and status. While these foods were abundant, they were ultimately ordinary mortal foods that did not contain spiritual energy, and thus Fang Ming did not pay them much mind.
In fact, Fang Ming was rather reluctant to eat these foods. It was important to note that the cultivation of the One Qi Technique in the first world focused on the pure qi within the body. The best food for this was spirit rice, while mortal food was not only unhelpful for cultivation but actually detrimental. These mortal foods, while a great supplement in Lin Zhuyu's eyes, were a source of turbid qi that hindered Fang Ming's cultivation.
"The cultivation systems of these two worlds are ultimately very different."
"Mortal food cannot hinder the cultivation of the Condensing Pulse realm or the Dao Foundation realm, so in this Lin family, even the patriarch and elders eat mortal food."
"They don't need to worry about these things, but I do. This mortal food affects the cultivation of the One Qi Technique." Fang Ming sighed inwardly. His cultivation speed in the Condensing Pulse realm was extremely fast, but in the cultivation of the One Qi Technique in the first world, the lack of spirit rice had significantly slowed his progress. This was indeed somewhat frustrating.
One of the two cultivation systems was affected. But Fang Ming could only accept it with resignation. He had not brought any spirit rice seeds, so he naturally could not plant spirit rice in this world. This unsolvable problem meant that even though Fang Ming knew mortal food was not beneficial to him, he had no choice but to eat it. After all, neither the One Qi Technique nor the Condensing Pulse realm cultivation allowed him to abstain from food. He could not live without sustenance.
Due to the diminished returns, Fang Ming had not focused his attention on the One Qi Technique in recent times, but rather on Condensing Pulse. He had decided to temporarily focus on this world's cultivation system. Unless he could achieve the Dao Foundation realm and gain the ability to abstain from food, Fang Ming's decision to focus on this world's cultivation system would not change.
