Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 218 - 178: One Month, Sprint

Back at the Immortal Institute, Wang Qi went straight to his room and sat down to visualize the Spirit Treasure Fractal Map.

Today's events were truly a pain in the ass. But the more it was so, the more I needed to stay calm.

Thinking this, Wang Qi felt it was necessary to adjust his "one month plan."

To foresee is to be prepared, not to foresee is to despair. A genius's achievements might rely on that spark of inspiration, but without the "fuel" of long-term study and accumulation of thoughts, the spark of inspiration wouldn't ignite anything, and turning into fireworks would be pointless.

The study habits of a true academic master are definitely regular and planned.

Wang Qi walked over to his desk and sat down to think: "Ordinary disciples would usually cultivate at the Mountain Gate for five years after graduating from the Immortal Institute. Because of that mess, those five years are definitely gone. Given this point... the identity of a True Disciple has become even more important to me. I can only rely on the various subsidies of a True Disciple and the discounts for merit exchange to make up for this gap."

Being resentful about what has already happened does no good; the most important thing is to figure out a way to make a comeback and compensate from other areas.

"Chen Jingyun told me to 'prove that I am stronger than everyone in this batch' and it has to be absolute strength; that's too vague. To achieve this 'absolute,' I have to be the first."

"If I don't consider the disadvantageous factor of 'Banished Immortal,' my Heart Inquiry Pass results are already at the highest level. For the written test, as long as it's not at the 'Landau Barrier' level, I should be able to handle it."

"From what others have told me, Ai Changyuan is already the highest level among this batch of disciples. My victory over him last time indeed involved some luck, but at least it shows that I have the capital to compete."

"If I use the Ai Changyuan of that time as a template... No, my cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in half a year, and that guy must not have been too far behind... And then I also have to consider the problem of cultivation technique suppression. Last time, I realized something from the dimensions, and this realization coincides with Riemannian Geometry, which just suppresses Ai Changyuan. It's not strange for a fellow disciple to master divine skills or absolute skills that suppress mine."

"So, I'll set my target as Ai Changyuan with five times the combat power of half a year ago."

This conclusion even scared Wang Qi himself. But immediately after, he showed a self-satisfied smile: "Actually, it's not that incredible!"

Suddenly, the door was kicked open. Among the people Wang Qi knew, only one person would open the door in this way. He sighed, "Senior Sister Xiang, you don't really have to come and comfort me..."

Wang Qi hadn't finished speaking when a dark figure pounced toward him with a fragrant breeze. Caught off guard, Wang Qi was tackled to the ground. Feeling an extraordinary weight on top of him, he realized that it was Ai Qinglan who had entered.

Fuck, coach, she did that on purpose...

This god-like development left Wang Qi silent for a few seconds. Ai Qinglan pinned Wang Qi down with her hands, her eyes carrying a strange excitement.

"Yah! Junior brother!"

Wang Qi's calm critique: "Senior Sister, could you please explain this before saying hello? I don't think our relationship has reached this level, and you should be able to satisfy your physiological needs with a pea vine or something."

"It's not physiological needs, it's psychological! Psychological!"

"Oh come on, plants can only satisfy physiological needs, not psychological, so now I get cut open—like hell I believe that! Please explain!"

"Yah! Yah!" Ai Qinglan moved closer to Wang Qi and said, "Junior brother, that... your ancestral bloodline appearance, can you give it to me..."

She wants the ancestral chromosomes straight away... She's definitely doing this on purpose!

"Ai Ai Ai Senior Sister, meow meow, you you you seem to... this isn't quite right, meow!" Mao Zimiao's voice came from outside the door, but Wang Qi's view was completely blocked by Ai Qinglan and couldn't see her.

Another set of footsteps approached. Xiang Qi grabbed Ai Qinglan by the back of her collar and dragged her off Wang Qi: "Speak properly, hey!"

Ai Qinglan, regardless, pounced towards Wang Qi again: "Junior brother, you're a Banished Immortal, right? You're a Banished Immortal, right?"

Wang Qi supported his forehead: "Even so, there was only a fifty percent chance..."

"Your bloodline appearance has research value! Banished Immortals are already rare, catching one is too difficult!"

"Damn it, I just went through a major blow in my life and you're not thinking about comforting me!"

Xiang Qi shook her head: "That's why you know why she's called the 'Demoness'... she just doesn't listen."

But Ai Qinglan did catch on to Wang Qi's words and her eyes lit up: "Junior brother, you need some~ comfort~ huh~ tell me, what kind of 'comfort' do you need?"

"Meow!" Mao Zimiao was on the verge of a fur explosion. Just as Wang Qi was about to say something, Xiang Qi lifted him by the collar: "Let me tell you, third parties who meddle will face retribution early. Let's not talk about her being crazy for now; you, although a dumbass, are a normal person."

"Eh! Qiqi, you're being too harsh!" Ai Qinglan hugged Xiang Qi's waist: "And you just revealed what important information!"

Wang Qi was shocked again: "Oh come on... Senior Sister Ai is actually able to get married?"

Although from the outside, Ai Qinglan was indeed an undeniable beauty. But looking at what's inside... damn, who could stand that personality!

"Anyway, if it's just for this trivial matter." Wang Qi rolled up his sleeves and reached out to Ai Qinglan, "I'm not that petty."

Before he could finish speaking, Ai Qinglan took a vacuum tube out of her storage bag and jabbed Wang Qi's arm with the speed of lightning!

After a long while, Wang Qi looked at Ai Qinglan expressionlessly, "Senior Sister, this vacuum tube was originally meant for collecting blood samples from large demon beasts, wasn't it... This capacity, there's something like mustard seed talismanic arrays inside, right?"

Ai Qinglan pouted, "Petty."

"Hey you!"

"Ai Qinglan, this isn't something to joke about."

"It could be fatal, meow!"

The other three frantically pulled out the vacuum tube. Only then did Ai Qinglan grudgingly explain, "Red Dust Heart Refining doesn't suit my abilities, and my heart of seeking and talent are sufficient, so after this batch of Immortal Institute disciples graduate, my training will be over. I'll probably head over to Tianling Ridge's Jiyin Valley and stay there until Core Formation. Thinking about how I can only collect such precious research material once, it breaks my heart!"

Hearing this, Xiang Qi also sighed, "I was thinking the same... I'll probably be ready for Core Formation after this trouble with my heart knot."

"I'll have to stay at Spirit Beast Mountain for five years, meow."

Wang Qi was startled, "So you guys... didn't come to comfort or encourage me?"

"Do you need that stuff?"

"Junior Brother, you're really funny."

"Xiao Qi, stop kidding."

Xiang Qi explained, "Su Junyu has already told us everything. I can't be sure if you're a Banished Immortal or if you can quickly pass the Primordial Spirit Heaven Barrier... but I believe in you. With your talent, this is just a minor setback."

Mao Zimiao nodded too, "Exactly, exactly, meow! Xiao Qi has always been like that."

"I feel subtly self-pitying..." Wang Qi fought back tears, "Then why did you all come running here one by one?"

"We accompanied Qinglan."

"Senior Sister Ai insisted on coming over when she heard you might be a Banished Immortal, meow."

"Okay then..." Wang Qi shook his head and turned to Ai Qinglan, "Speaking of which, Senior Sister, I have a question for you. Do you understand anything about souls?"

Ai Qinglan frowned, "A bit. If you're thinking of using soul research to clear your name of being a Banished Immortal..."

Wang Qi denied, "I'm not that foolish. After all, Carefree from Yangshen Pavilion made the diagnosis. Unless I abandon my mathematical reasoning domain and switch to focusing on souls, I can't overpower the Soul Origin and overturn that conclusion."

Wang Qi was mainly curious when asking this question.

According to Shenzhou's research on souls, a soul is actually a spirit energy field capable of carrying thought, and its inherent formula has already been derived. In other words, Earth's physical science does not support the existence of a 'soul' field with an energy index different from one.

So, what is the principle behind transmigration? Why did the consciousness of that Earth researcher appear in Wang Qi's soul? He clearly didn't have a soul in his previous life, and the only thing that must have carried over this time was "thought." So what made his soul different from that of others?

Ai Qinglan shook her head, "If it's for planning ahead and finding a way to pass the Primordial Spirit Heaven Barrier... I can't harm you. How about this, I know an expert who is proficient in this realm. I'll give you his contact information later. You can look for him after you graduate."

"After graduation, meow?" Mao Zimiao was puzzled, "Why wait until after graduation?"

"This research won't help you in your current situation," Ai Qinglan replied, giving Wang Qi a sadistic look, "Although I can't be of any help with the soul matter. But when it comes to dealing with trials, maybe I can be even more useful than Su Junyu, no?"

Wang Qi smiled, "I couldn't ask for more!"

The last month was time to sprint!
