Li Yuchun sat on a chair next to the bathtub, nodding as he spoke, "You can go to the library to read up on this knowledge whenever you have time. But since I'm here to watch over you, I might as well explain it to you. In your understanding, is the first tier the limit of the system?"

Xu Qi'an nodded.

"The levels of the major cultivation systems were originally vague and had no clear standards. It wasn't until the later years of the Sage that he divided all the cultivation systems in the world into nine tiers, which have been used ever since."

"But the Sage did not include himself in the tiers," Xu Qi'an asked.

"Listen to me first," Li Yuchun continued, "Apart from the Sage, there are four others who are not included in the tiers: the God of Poison, the God of Witchcraft, the Taoist God, and the Buddha. They are known as the indestructible and immortal ones."

Xu Qi'an finally understood, "Gods and Buddhas are not included in the tiers... Wait, are there really immortals in this world?!"

Li Yuchun shook his head, "I'm not sure."

Since ancient times, the legend of immortals has been passed down, and immortality has been the lifelong wish of every monarch. But who dares to say they have seen an immortal?

"Other systems have beings that surpass the tiers, but martial artists do not. The best martial artist of the current generation is a first-tier martial artist," Li Yuchun brought the topic back.

Therefore, everyone thinks that the martial artist system is crude... Xu Qi'an suddenly noticed a problem, "Wait a minute, the sorcerers of the Celestial Observatory don't have tiers either."

Li Yuchun nodded, "But it cannot be denied that sorcerers have made the greatest contribution among all the systems."

Xu Qi'an knew this, the ninth tier of sorcerers were doctors who could revive the dead and heal the wounded. The seventh tier were geomancers, who chose burial sites for the people and the nobility; they also made outstanding contributions to the layout of homes.

The sixth tier of sorcerers were alchemists who greatly promoted social development, meeting the material needs of the common people. They made huge contributions to the industry and handicrafts of this era.

Song Qing was one of the best among them, devoting himself to the "human-beast" cause. Xu Qi'an felt that he had crossed over too early, and if he waited a few decades, he might be able to write a book called "Guide to Evaluating and Judging Customs in a Different World".

In addition, Xu Qi'an also knew that the sorcerers of the Celestial Observatory were responsible for updating and formulating the almanac.

For agricultural civilization, the almanac was too important, directly affecting the harvest.

Compared to other systems, sorcerers were truly exemplary for the country and the people, contributing to the progress of civilization.

"Boss, I suddenly feel a pain," Xu Qi'an frowned.

The medicine seeped into his pores, feeling like fine needles that made his whole body ache.

"Pain is good, it's cleansing your meridians and marrow," Li Yuchun said, "In the time it takes to burn an incense stick, you will feel like you're being cut a thousand times. That's when I will open your heavenly gate for you. You can talk to distract yourself."

Xu Qi'an nodded, "So, our emperor has been cultivating for over twenty years to achieve immortality?"

The current emperor had appointed a beautiful female Taoist as the national teacher and had been devoted to cultivation for over twenty years, which was known throughout the country.Even some down-and-out literati wrote about the emperor's romantic history with a stunning Taoist nun... of course, the ending was being punished by the river crab divine beast.

"But even though martial artists don't have a level beyond the rank, shouldn't they be able to extend their lifespan? Just focus on cultivating and improving your martial skills, why chase after the illusory and elusive eternal life?"

In response to Xu Qi'an's point of view, Li Yuchun asked, "How long have you been cultivating your essence?"

"Seventeen years," Xu Qi'an replied, having been stuck at the peak of refining essence for two years.

"A bit slow. Wealthy and influential children with abundant resources can reach the peak of refining essence at around sixteen years old, and considering physical development, fifteen is the limit," Li Yuchun said.

"But even those children from wealthy families may not be able to smoothly enter the Qi cultivation realm, because in addition to the daily physical training, they also face the obstacle of beauty. The more they live in luxury, the easier it is to be trapped by beauty."

"And the refining essence realm is only the beginning of the martial artist system. You can imagine how difficult it is to reach a high rank and extend your lifespan."

"I understand, I understand... that Miss Fu Xiang will definitely curse me as a beast sooner or later! I'll show her tonight what a whip technique is!" Xu Qi'an deeply empathized.

The original owner was a martial arts fanatic with a stubborn personality, who liked to argue. Only people with this kind of personality could polish their bodies day after day and lay a solid foundation for the martial arts path.

Even so, the original owner still had to fight fiercely with his own hands every day, not giving them a chance to show off.

If it were Xu Qi'an himself, he couldn't guarantee that he could persist for so many years, let alone stay true to himself in the face of beauty.

After all, although men usually use their brains above their waists when thinking, sometimes the head without a brain below is the true self.

Gradually, Xu Qi'an's interest in the conversation faded, even though they were discussing the cultivation knowledge he was interested in.

His brows furrowed deeper and deeper, the pain exceeding his endurance.

"That's enough. The purpose of the medicinal bath is to stimulate your body and awaken the dormant Qi. Opening the Tianmen is a difficult thing to do. For those with good aptitude, I only need to circulate the Qi in your body for three weeks, and you will be able to find your own Qi sensation and establish a connection between the inside and outside," Li Yuchun stood up, pressing his hand on Xu Qi'an's head and said in a deep voice.

"For those with poor aptitude, the number of times the Qi needs to circulate will be more, and the limit for a normal person is nine weeks. That is to say, if you still can't find your own Qi sensation by the eighth week, then you are not suitable for the martial arts path."

Li Yuchun looked at him, "I'm looking forward to your aptitude."

After speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Immediately, Xu Qi'an felt a warm current pouring in from the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, sinking into his Dantian, and roaming around his limbs and bones.

It seemed that his body immediately remembered the circulation route, and after completing one week, he self-activated his Qi, shaking off the accompanying running and flying solo.

... Li Yuchun opened his eyes, looking somewhat dazed at the little brother in the bath.

Xu Qi'an returned a bewildered look, "It seems quite simple..."

Li Yuchun: "..."

"Try to circulate a few more weeks on your own, and I'll see how it goes," Li Yuchun could only say that.

After three weeks of circulation, Xu Qi'an opened his eyes. He didn't have a mirror, so he couldn't see the subtle changes that came with entering the Qi cultivation realm.First of all, his eyes became even brighter and more spirited, like they contained stars.

Just the change in his eyes alone was enough to add another layer to his charm.

Secondly, his temperament became even more profound and restrained, like a towering mountain.

Lastly, his skin was soaked in medicinal water, stimulating his pores and removing impurities like blackheads that were hidden within them. His reddish skin gave off a delicate feeling.

He felt a surge of new power coursing through his body, and Xu Qi'an stretched his limbs and raised his hand, striking the window with a palm strike from a distance.

The lattice window shattered with a loud "bang."

This was the manifestation of his qi, a phenomenon that occurred in the early stages of qi cultivation. If he had been holding a sword or a knife just now, Xu Qi'an could have emitted sword qi or blade qi.

Of course, the power would not be very strong, as he had just entered the stage of qi cultivation.

Someone like Second Uncle, who had reached the peak of the qi cultivation stage, could cut through walls with a single stroke of his blade or manipulate objects from a distance.

"Very good!" Li Yuchun said expressionlessly, nodding slightly. "Continue to circulate your qi and practice the technique of transporting qi. This is a cultivation method for cultivating strong qi, and at the same time, you must not neglect the tempering of your physical body."

After speaking, he left the secret room. In the instant he walked out of the door, Spring Brother's mind was filled with the thought of "impossible."

Li Yuchun turned his head and looked at the shattered window, his mouth twitching.

A peerless genius?!

Did I just run into one so easily?

By the way, his aptitude test has already ended. I'll go ask Wei Gong what level he was evaluated at.

If it's Grade B, with his talent of sensing qi just by circulating his qi for a week, he can already be upgraded to Grade B.

In this way, the corresponding resources will increase.

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"If he's ranked as Grade B, he might even be promoted to Grade A. Grade A is the aptitude of Silver Gongs, and he will become a key training target for the Nightwatchers...."

"Well, he hasn't gone through the 'combat power' assessment, so it's impossible for him to be Grade B. I was thinking too much."

After leaving the courtyard, he went straight to the courtyard of the Nightwatchers, the towering and majestic Haoyi Building.

After passing through the notification of the staff in the building, Li Yuchun arrived at the seventh floor and saw his immediate superior, as well as his superior.

Yang Yan nodded at him.

The soft and gentle man turned his head disinterestedly to look at the scenery outside the building.

"Wei Gong!"

He bowed ninety degrees, his attitude humble.

"We were just talking about you. You're lucky to have found a talent," Wei Yuan said with a gentle smile.

Huh?

Lucky to have found a talent... this should refer to Xu Qi'an. Wei Gong praised him so highly? But I haven't told him about the rotation of qi for a week yet.... Li Yuchun wondered, respectfully saying, "I would like to know Xu Qi'an's evaluation and report a small matter to Wei Gong."

PS: I was just writing the outline and forgot to update it.
