I Live Forever With My Proficiency

Chapter 19: Mastery of the Technique

Cultivate!

Cultivate!

Keep cultivating!

This has been Chen Ping's main theme during this period of time. He has once again entered the mode of staying at home, considering it a loss every time he opens the door.

Day after day.

Half a month later.

Inside the house.

"Ah, not bad."

"The Evergreen Technique has improved a bit."

Chen Ping let out a breath and looked at the panel.

[Level: Qi Refining Warrior (First Layer): 47/100.]

[Technique: Evergreen Technique (Introductory Level): 100/100.]

Evergreen Technique has finally reached the level of "Introductory."

Continue, continue.

Let's see what happens when it reaches the proficient level.

Chen Ping continued to sit still, using the meridians as channels, breath as power, and thoughts as the ruler, guiding the Qi to circulate through the meridians.

Suddenly.

He felt a tremor in his heart.

And as he continued to cultivate the Evergreen Technique, that tremor became stronger.

That tremor made him feel like he had suddenly understood a lot, yet also felt like he hadn't understood anything.

It was just a feeling.

Chen Ping relaxed and allowed this feeling to control his thoughts and body.

Slowly, his dantian became warm like a furnace.

He even felt the internal Qi rotating and gathering in his organs, nourishing them silently, like a gentle rain, the Innate True Qi.

In an instant.

This tremor was released like a flood.

He suddenly felt enlightened, and the fog that was previously unclear became clear.

Chen Ping quickly checked the panel.

[Level: Qi Refining Warrior (First Layer): 84/100.]

[Technique: Evergreen Technique (Proficient Level): 1/100.]

This...

Seeing the changes in the level and the Evergreen Technique on the panel, Chen Ping was overjoyed and couldn't express himself for a while.

He had expected the breakthrough in the Evergreen Technique.

But what he didn't expect was the significant leap in his level.

It went from "47/100" to "84/100" in an instant.

An increase of 37 points.

It's worth noting that in the past three and a half months, it had only increased by 22 points.

Could this be related to the moment of enlightenment?

Regardless, it's a good thing.

Chen Ping stood up and stretched, feeling refreshed.

"I thought it would take at least another half a year to advance to the second layer of Qi Refining, but now it seems that it may not be necessary."

"After wearing the robe, not only does the Evergreen Technique cultivate faster, but the level also increases at an accelerated rate. The level and the Evergreen Technique are closely related."

"Now that the Evergreen Technique has reached the 'proficient' level, and the level is only 16 points away from perfection."

"It's getting closer."

Chen Ping silently contemplated his current state and felt satisfied.

Not to mention, during this time, his talisman-making skills have not been neglected. He has gained more than ten points and his talismans have become more exquisite.

This kind of stay-at-home life is really worth it.

If it weren't for the problem of spirit stones, he felt that he could stay at home for ten thousand years without going out.

On the other side.

The Zhang family.

Zhang Zheng held up a talisman and observed its quality under the sunlight. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

In the end, he even burst into laughter.

"It's finally done, it's perfect." He couldn't help but feel delighted.

After learning twice and practicing on his own for so long, he finally made a satisfactory talisman.

If his works were his children, then at this moment, he was infinitely doting on his offspring.

By the way.

It's been half a month already, time to deliver the finished talismans to Fellow Daoist Chen.

Feeling joyful, he picked up the 100 prepared talismans. After some thought, he tucked the perfectly crafted talisman into the lining of his robe and headed towards Chen Ping's house.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you home?"

Chen Ping inside the house heard a crisp knocking sound.

Judging from the sound alone, Chen Ping could tell that it was Zhang Zheng.

The door creaked open.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, come in," Chen Ping said.

Zhang Zheng carried a stack of talismans and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, sorry to bother you. I've come to deliver the talismans, 100 of them. Oh? Fellow Daoist's aura seems even stronger than before, could it be a breakthrough?"

Chen Ping asked Zhang Zheng to put the talismans directly on the desk and said, "It's not that easy to have a breakthrough, it's still early."

Seeing that Chen Ping didn't want to talk much, Zhang Zheng stopped asking.

In Cloud Link City, everyone hopes to keep some cards hidden and doesn't want to discuss their cultivation and techniques.

But thanks to Master Tuo's big mouth, Zhang Zheng knew that Chen Ping was at the Qi Refining stage.

Zhang Zheng changed the topic, "Fellow Daoist Chen, how is your practice with talismans going?"

"Most of them are still failures," Chen Ping smiled.

"It's alright, it's a process. Your cultivation is low, so naturally your progress will be slower. As for me, I've only recently... Oh?" Zhang Zheng paused, suddenly noticing the miscellaneous discarded talismans in the basket.

Those discarded talismans were evenly thin, with clear patterns.

"These discarded talismans are even better than my best talismans. This..." Zhang Zheng took a deep breath.

He silently pressed down on the talisman in his shirt, making sure that the talisman that would have 'accidentally' fallen out didn't exist.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, what's wrong?" Chen Ping, being an honest person, would never intentionally embarrass him.

"Ah, it's nothing... This damn weather, it's really hot," Zhang Zheng fanned himself and rubbed his burning face.

Ignoring the rest.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, can you give me two of these discarded talismans? I want to observe them," Zhang Zheng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to swallow his pride. Obtaining one of the recently made talismans was more important.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, rest assured, I swear on my Dao heart that I will only use them for observation and not for any other purpose. I won't tell anyone that Fellow Daoist Chen made them," he added, knowing that Chen Ping was timid and preferred to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Here you go," Chen Ping said with a smile.

Zhang Zheng observed the talismans, carefully examining them, and became even more restless.

After a brief chat, he hurriedly left.

After this brief interlude, Chen Ping sat down and began making talismans.

For the past half month, he had been making two to three talismans every day. This didn't affect his cultivation and also helped him calm his mind.

After half a month, he had used 35 talismans and successfully made 77 talismans, with a relatively good success rate.

But at the moment, he wasn't in a hurry to sell them. He still had some spirit stones for his daily expenses.

He planned to accumulate more talismans before going out to sell them.

After finishing today's talismans, Chen Ping continued to deepen his understanding of the Micro-Wind Nine Swords.

First move, second move.

All the way to the sixth move.

He was already so familiar with them that he knew the best timing and the most powerful attack method for each move.

This was the result of continuous refinement of his proficiency.

It was an effect that other cultivators who had also mastered the sixth move of the Micro-Wind Nine Swords couldn't achieve.

It could be said that among those who had mastered the sixth move, Chen Ping could kill them within the first six moves.

There was no other reason, only because he had reached the pinnacle.

Knowing mathematics and advanced mathematics were two different things.

A mathematics professor at Tsinghua University and Wei Dongyi, a mathematics professor at Tsinghua University, were also two different things.

However...

"I still have too little practical experience. Although I killed two enemies with the Micro-Wind Nine Swords, it was instant kills and didn't provide much training value."

"I've been practicing silently, and the imaginary opponents were all in a static state, which isn't ideal."

"After all, one is static and the other is dynamic, they are different."

"I need more dynamic duels without danger, maybe it will be valuable for me to learn the seventh move."

"How can I make the opponent move? Killing people is impossible."

"Killing wild beasts?"

Chen Ping stood in the courtyard and looked in the direction of the city.

In the distant city, he could vaguely see layers of mountains and mist, as if they were floating in the air rather than being grounded in the mist.

Full of immortal aura.

There, was the endless forest.

Countless wild beasts.
