Cultivation: Become God by playing a game [Dungeon + LitRPG]

"The exam is over. All candidates are requested to leave in an orderly manner. The specific results will be announced on Friday."

The last candidate was personally sent out of the secret realm by Lu Xiaoye.

The thirteen-day mock exam is finally over.

Although she won first place in the mock exam, Lu Xiaoye was not happy at this time.

She looked at the magic circle that appeared under her feet and said angrily, "Damn Xiao Chen, he left without telling me in advance. Could it be that he had guessed that I was going to defeat the others and deliberately lost to him?"

"I even made a special effort to sneak attack this guy, Bian Shouyi, so that he was eliminated before he could react. In the end, my efforts were in vain. I will go back and settle the score with him. Humph."

But when Lu Xiaoye came out, she found that someone had already escaped.

It seemed as if he had predicted her actions.

Looking at Su Chen, who had hidden in the training room in advance, Lu Xiaoye stomped her feet in anger.

But it's okay; the monk can run away, but the temple cannot.

Lu Xiaoye clearly remembered that Su Chen still owed her a big meal!

.....

Two days after the mock exam, in the training room of Jiangnan No. 1 High School.

While Su Chen was meditating to improve his luck and cultivation, he was also distracted by the game on his phone.

[You have consumed 1000 experience points, and your basic alchemy skills have been upgraded to 'small success'...]

[Basic Alchemy: small success 1/3000]

[Effect: Can improve the success rate of alchemy to a certain extent]

[Current experience point: 5000]

One month in the game, three days in reality.

During this period of time, Su Chen did not let his in-game self do anything unnecessary and completely focused on cultivation.

And relying on the fairly good concentration of spiritual power in his cave in the game.

Now the experience points he can gain from practicing for a day have reached about 70 points.

In just one month, he gained a total of 2100 experience points.

It was a huge experience he had never thought of before.

If he started using all his experience points to improve his cultivation now.

Even if his current spiritual power limit has been raised to 30,000 points, he can still reach the peak of the Qi gathering stage within one year in the game and begin preparing to build his foundation.

And a year in the game is just over one month in reality.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he gains experience very quickly now. When he uses it, he finds that it is just barely enough.

Because his current goal is no longer a simple foundation building but to prepare to break through to the first-grade Heavenly Dao foundation building.

How difficult is it to build a first-grade heavenly foundation?

At this time, Su Chen already had a deep understanding.

Not to mention the Kyushu Immortal Alliance; even the Taichu Divine Sect has an ancestor in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Throughout history, there are only a handful of people who have completed the first-grade Heavenly Dao foundation.

But without exception, those who completed the first-grade Heavenly Dao foundation all achieved considerable success in the end and dominated the world.

And based on the information he has collected so far.

If he wants to complete the foundation of the Heavenly Dao with his spiritual roots that have all five elements.

Su Chen estimated that the experience required was at least 100,000, with no upper limit.

This is because the root of foundation building lies in the "immortal foundation.".

The attributes of his spiritual roots meant that he had to condense five "immortal foundations" to meet the conditions for building the Heavenly Dao foundation.

'Ninth level of foundation building, spiritual platform immortal foundation.'

The nine grades refer to the quality of the foundation. Grades one to three are the foundation of the heavenly way, grades four to six are the foundation of the earthly way, and grades seven to nine are the foundation of the human way.

Lingtai refers to the "Dantian" of a cultivator during the Qi gathering stage.

Immortal base refers to the special Dantian that is formed after a cultivator completes foundation building and completely merges with his spiritual roots.

And after learning this information, Su Chen completely understood the meaning of "foundation building.".

The so-called foundation building means that the cultivator thoroughly refines his spiritual roots, integrates them with his dantian, and completely turns them into a part of himself.

The quality of the immortal foundation will not only affect the quality of the future elixir but will also greatly affect the strength of the cultivator during the foundation-building period.

Apart from anything else, the difference in spiritual power between the Heavenly Way Foundation Building and the Human Way Foundation Building was so great that it shocked Su Chen.

This is similar to the saying that among spiritual roots, there are 'lower grade one, middle grade two, higher grade five, and top grade ten'.

There is a similar saying among the three levels of the foundation building 'Man walks one, Earth drives five, and Heaven rises ten'.

Take Su Chen's current spiritual power limit of 30,000 as an example.

If he is building a human foundation, then the upper limit of his spiritual power during the foundation-building period is 1.5 to 2 times the original, that is, 45,000 to 60,000.

If he is in the authentic foundation-building stage, then the upper limit of his spiritual power during the foundation-building stage is 3 to 5 times the original, that is, 90,000 to 150,000.

If he is building a foundation in the Heavenly Dao, then the upper limit of his spiritual power during the foundation-building period is "more than 10 times" the original, which means starting from 300,000.

And this is just the difference in the upper limit of spiritual power between the Qi gathering stage and the foundation building stage.

The biggest difference between the foundation-building stage and the Qi-gathering stage is the quality of spiritual power.

If the spiritual power of a cultivator in the Qi training stage is Qi (gaseous form), then the spiritual power of a cultivator in the foundation building stage is liquid form.

The spiritual power of the liquid is not only more refined but can also output more spiritual power in the same amount of time.

This is the fundamental reason why many spells can only be practiced by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

In addition to the difference in spiritual power, there is also the difference in the power of magic.

The body and soul of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage will be improved imperceptibly by his spiritual power, far surpassing that of the Qi Gathering Stage.

Advantages in spiritual power limit, spiritual power quality, physical body, soul, and skills...

The Foundation Establishment Stage has too many advantages for cultivators in the Qi Gathering Stage.

It is almost impossible to challenge a higher-level opponent.

Because Su Chen had no idea about the gap between the foundation establishment stage and the Qi gathering stage, he did not feel much about his victory over Ye Chenglin.

He just felt that it was because his "Dragon Roar Sky Breaking Strike" was too overbearing that he won the battle.

But now thinking about it, the reason why he was able to win that battle was because of too much luck.

First of all, Ye Chenglin's identity as a talisman practitioner.

Talisman cultivators are similar to alchemists; both are considered a profession in the cultivator system that is not very good at fighting.

They need to be fully prepared before fighting so that they can exert their full strength.

But because Ye Chenglin stayed in the underground tomb cave, he had no way to obtain talisman paper, so he could only rely on the method of "drawing talismans in the air" to fight.

However, the power of the talisman drawn in this way is only about half of the real one, which greatly limits his original strength.

Secondly, Ye Chenglin was seriously injured and had a broken arm, which caused his speed and efficiency in drawing talismans to slow down by half.

Moreover, before he fought with Su Chen, he had a fierce battle with other fellow disciples who had transformed into magic corpses in the underground tomb cave.

This caused his body to be further damaged, and his strength was further reduced to less than one-tenth of what it was before he was alive.

Finally, Ye Chenglin did not have a strong will to survive, and there was a bug that allowed Su Chen to be resurrected infinitely.

If it weren't for so many reasons, it would be a pipe dream for Su Chen to defeat Ye Chenglin.

"I was able to defeat Fellow Daoist Ye because of luck rather than strength. It is almost impossible to replicate this in reality."

"It's still too much of a stretch to think that you can defeat the foundation building with the Qi gathering stage."

"I must not take this accident as a certainty, otherwise I will suffer a great loss in the future."

"Besides, as someone who has 'Cultivation of Immortality', I don't need to take too many risks. I just need to be safe."

"Although I withdrew from the mock exam early, based on the final results, I should still be able to get a lot of credits."

"And judging from the attitude of my homeroom teacher, Lao Chen, towards me after the test, he must have seen my performance in the mock test, so his opinion of me changed drastically."

"And considering Lao Chen's status in the school and his special conditions, he should be able to give me a lot of help in the future."

"All of this... stems from my performance in the mock exam."

"True stability is not just about being low-key."

"Showing a certain amount of potential while not attracting too much attention is the true path of stability, the so-called moderation... Our ancestors were not deceiving me."

After expressing his feelings, Su Chen began to put all his energy into the game.

Because today he was going to try out his skilled alchemy skills in the game.

See if he can improve the efficiency of refining the 'Qi Gathering Pill'.

After all, although this Qi Gathering Pill is only a low-level pill, its use is not small at all!

Especially for Su Chen's "Infinite Spiritual Power" plan, the more pills in the game, the better.

After all, theoretically speaking, all he needs in the game is endless elixirs.

Then he wouldn't encounter a lack of spiritual power in reality!

Because when he fights in reality, he will make himself in the game take drugs like crazy!

At that time, he will seem to be fighting alone, but in fact... there are two people!

Therefore, the importance of the elixir to Su Chen is immeasurable!

This is also the fundamental reason why he is determined to become an alchemist.

If he hadn't become an alchemist, where would he get so many pills to eat?

And what he was preparing to refine was a conventional but easy-to-use pill—the Qi Gathering Pill.

[Qi Gathering Pill (Normal)]

[Effect: After taking it, you can recover 100 spiritual powers within one stick of incense. Taking it multiple times in a short period of time will reduce the spiritual power recovery effect.]

Under his control, the character in his game soon arrived at the alchemy hall on Danyang Peak.

The burning alchemy furnaces immediately caught the eye...
