Mu Xiyu's words were truly merciless, and Xue Wanyun was furious, "You dead girl, no one will think you're mute if you don't speak!"
She secretly glanced at Su Bai, and only after seeing no change in his expression did she breathe a sigh of relief, then turned to Mu Zhenhong, who was drinking soup, and said, "Zhenhong, are there any departments in your new district that need people?"
Mu Zhenhong looked up at her, said nothing, his gaze falling on Su Bai, his brows slightly furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Nowadays, education is a stepping stone. Education is very important in any industry. Relying solely on connections without genuine talent and knowledge won't work!"
Mu Zhenhong, in an elder's tone, looked at Su Bai and reprimanded, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Su Bai smiled indifferently, neither humble nor arrogant, and replied, "You are right."
This Mu Zhenhong clearly disdained to help, yet he put on the face of an elder to lecture, truly hypocritical to the extreme.
How could they know that Su Bai was already a Cultivator? If he wanted to, what would it matter to be the top scholar in the entire country?
It was just that at this moment, Su Bai's mind was not on his studies.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, the oppressive dinner finally ended. Xue Wanyun comforted Su Bai with a few words, roughly telling him not to mind Mu Xiyu and Mu Zhenhong's bluntness, and then hurried to the hospital for an emergency operation.
"Auntie is as intelligent as an orchid, with a gentle personality like water, beautiful, and an excellent cook. It's a pity she married someone like Mu Zhenhong, who pursues power," Su Bai sighed, shaking his head inwardly.
Su Bai naturally did not care about the attitude of the Mu Family father and daughter; instead, he quietly left under the cover of night.
On the path at the foot of Yun Cang Mountain, Su Bai walked, feeling the changes in the surrounding Spiritual Qi.
"The Spiritual Qi between Heaven And Earth is already close to exhaustion," he secretly shook his head. "Even if there are Cultivators, they can at most barely Cultivate to Qi Refining Peak."
"I'm probably the only Cultivator on this Earth."
What did this mean? As long as Su Bai Cultivated a little and achieved Foundation Establishment, he would likely be able to move unhindered on Earth.
In Su Bai's view, to have the ability to protect his family and be fearless of modern weapons, missiles, planes, and cannons, Foundation Establishment cultivation was sufficient. After all, once he entered Foundation Establishment, he would be able to Cultivate true Spells and Divine Abilities, thus breaking away from the Mortal world.
"Along this journey, the Spiritual Qi density varies. I need to find a place where Spiritual Qi gathers to Cultivate, which will yield twice the results with half the effort."
"If I can also find some Heaven And Earth Treasures, I'm confident I can Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment within three years at most, truly stepping into the threshold of Cultivation."
However, thinking of this, Su Bai suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, "I was thinking too much. With Earth's Spiritual Qi environment, let alone Heaven And Earth Treasures, even slightly older medicinal herbs are probably all picked clean."
Shaking his head, Su Bai carefully felt the changes in the surrounding Spiritual Qi and walked all the way towards the foot of Yun Cang Mountain.
He walked a few kilometers on the path at the foot of the mountain and finally stopped.
"This should be the most concentrated Spiritual Qi area within a dozen kilometers. To find something better, I probably have to enter the depths of Yun Cang Mountain." Su Bai looked up at his surroundings. The sky was already pitch black. With Su Bai's current eyesight, he could barely see the surrounding green trees. Not far away, Liuxin Lake shimmered with tiny ripples under the hazy moonlight.
Su Bai found a patch of grass and sat down cross-legged. In the hazy moonlight, his figure appeared ethereal, as if slowly merging with the surrounding environment.
Cultivators are divided into eight major Realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, Void Realm, Dao Integration, and Undergoing Tribulation.
The Qi Refining stage is divided into three minor Realms: 'Qi Condensation Realm, Divine Power Realm, and Innate Realm.'
Qi Condensation Realm, as the name suggests, is the condensation of Innate Qi within the body, which is the beginning of Cultivation. After achieving it, every move has the strength of a thousand pounds, as fast as a galloping horse, already surpassing the limits of the human body and transforming towards a superhuman. Furthermore, true essence condenses within the body, allowing for the drawing of Talismans and the use of some minor Spells.
'Divine Power Realm' is when Innate Qi condenses to a certain stage, possessing Divine Ability and magical power, capable of calling wind and rain, and turning beans into soldiers, like a myth in the eyes of Mortals.
As for the Innate Realm, at this point, the Cultivator's Acquired Qi within the body is completely eliminated, achieving an Innate body, invulnerable to water and fire, difficult to harm with knives and guns. The speed of Cultivating Spells and Divine Abilities is dozens of times faster than that of a Mortal body, already possessing the qualification to knock on the door of Cultivation.
As for the Foundation Establishment Realm after Qi Refining, one can ride the Qi for ninety thousand miles and have a Lifespan of over five hundred years, completely like the Immortals and deities in ancient legends!
The Qi Refining stage is the Foundation of Cultivation. If the accumulation in the Qi Refining stage is not solid and stable enough, how can one completely liquefy the Origin Qi in the body and complete Great Dao Foundation Establishment?
Su Bai attached great importance to the Qi Refining stage. In his previous life, he only Cultivated ordinary methods during the Qi Refining stage, suffering greatly in the early stages. It was not until later, during his Golden Core period, that he had continuous fortuitous encounters, achieving a Saint Grade Golden Core, which made him famous overnight and led to his rise.
"In my mind, there are a total of thirty-three thousand six hundred and fifty-four Cultivation Techniques for the Qi Refining stage. Among them, the Martial Ancestor's Qi-eating method is the most widely circulated and highly regarded. The Ancient Heavenly Palace Great Dao Art, however, is the most mysterious and domineering." Su Bai's eyes narrowed slightly. "Although the Ancient Heavenly Palace was destroyed, it was once the dominant ruler of the Great Cultivation World. I didn't have the opportunity in my previous life, but today, let me try this Ancient Heavenly Palace's method and see what's so extraordinary about it!"
Having made up his mind, Su Bai no longer hesitated. He sat down cross-legged, his mind slowly becoming ethereal. The cultivation incantation of the Great Dao Art appeared in his mind. With a thought, the hazy moonlight and starlight in the night sky directly fell on his head.
As he gradually entered Cultivation, his body seemed to become a black hole, and various Spiritual Qi and energies from the surroundings surged into his body. If anyone paid attention, the entire forest at this moment seemed to be enveloped by a dense energy vortex.
Somewhere inside Su Bai's body, a blocked and damaged Meridian was rapidly recovering under the washing and repair of the dense Spiritual Qi, even becoming tougher than before. In just over ten minutes, the hidden danger that had been in his body for more than ten years was already resolved!
Feeling the changes within his body, Su Bai's mouth curved into a smile. The Ancient Heavenly Palace Great Dao Art was indeed powerful!
Time flowed, the moon set, and the sun rose in the east. It was already dawn.
Su Bai had actually sat cross-legged on the grass and Cultivated for an entire night! It was fortunate that this place was rarely visited, so no one disturbed him.
The pale light of dawn in the sky, tinged with a golden glow, passed through the trees and fell upon Su Bai. He suddenly opened his mouth, and a stream of Qi, like a white ribbon, surged out, extending several meters and producing a 'hissing' sound of breaking air in the Void Realm, as if it had pierced through the air.
This white ribbon lingered in the air for a few minutes before gradually dissipating, appearing incredibly strange.
"The Great Dao Art is indeed a Cultivation method of the Ancient Heavenly Palace. My first Cultivation session actually directly brought me to Qi Condensation Middle Stage! And this is even with Earth's Spiritual Qi being depleted!" Su Bai exclaimed.
If he continued at this speed, he would definitely enter the Divine Power Realm in as little as three months or as long as half a year. At that time, Divine Abilities would naturally manifest, and he would also be able to Cultivate some quite powerful Spells.
