My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 2 This is called persistence and hard work
Bai Chijing felt a mixture of nervousness and calm. He didn't know how much time had passed, perhaps an incense stick, or perhaps just a moment, when he saw the bead gradually changing.

This bead looks like an eye because there is something like a pupil inside.

At this moment, the "eyes" in the bead moved slightly.

Then, Bai Chijing felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. In his eyes, strands of gray-brown aura emerged from his body and poured into the bead.

Before the gray-brown aura was completely absorbed by the bead, Bai Chijing saw some words appear on the bead.

These words are constantly changing.

Sometimes it was the words from before he traveled through time, and sometimes it was the words from this world. But in the end, these words were finally settled.

This also made Bai Chijing certain that these words were manifested based on his cognition.

At this moment, the text appears like this:

[Today, after learning that your fiancée Huai Jinxin had fallen in love with Su Chengwu, the son of the Tujian Mountain elder, you chose to commit suicide for the sake of the Bai family's last respect in the secular world. However, your attempt failed, and you were resurrected after death.]

[Refine, gain quite interesting self-esteem +1]

After the words appeared here, they disappeared. At the moment the words disappeared, Bai Chijing clearly felt that he loved himself more than ever before. He felt that his eyes were so beautiful, his five fingers were so slender, his skin was so white and tender, and his six-pack abs were so sexy...

"Isn't it pride?"

Bai Chijing felt that the direction of this increase was a bit inconsistent with the description of this text.

However, Bai Chijing was also certain that his bead was indeed magical and could actually extract the "essence" of his one-day experience.

It can also be understood as finding the only useful thing from useless things.

"So, what if I practice cultivation?"

Bai Chijing couldn't help but feel very excited.

He was limited by his own talent for cultivation, and no matter how much he practiced, it was all in vain. But now that he had this bead, would his efforts definitely be rewarded?

For a moment, Bai Chijing was so excited that he could no longer hold back.

He didn't know if he could refine it again today, but it didn't matter if he gave it a try.

If it cannot be refined today, then try again tomorrow.

With the mentality of "if I get it, I'm lucky, if I lose it, it's my fate", Bai Chijing began his practice.

Tujian Mountain is the largest mountain gate for spiritual practice in the Qinyu Prefecture area, north of Yaotian Realm.

It is also one of the famous immortal gates in the Yaotian Realm.

Therefore, the cultivation techniques that Tu Jianshan taught to his disciples, even if they were just the most basic introductory techniques, were all superior methods in the Yaotian Realm.

This basic introductory exercise is called "Sword Heart Breathing".

There are three levels in total, which correspond to the three entry levels on the path of cultivation!

These three realms are also called the initial realm of external objects, the middle realm of external objects, and the upper realm of external objects.

After the three realms of external objects, there is the realm of external appearance, which represents the advanced stage in the path of cultivation, and the realm of external world, which is close to being an immortal.

However, Bai Chijing had no idea what happened next.

After all, he had only traveled half an hour...

If the body he traveled through had some kind of backing in the cultivation world, then it would be easy to find out. But for him, a disciple who had only been here for three years, not only had no backing, but also had been somewhat ostracized in his daily life because of his fiancée, it was naturally difficult for him to find out.

At this time, Bai Chijing began to practice the first level of "Sword Heart Breathing", and his practice was going very smoothly. After all, he had been practicing for three years, but no matter how hard he practiced, there was still no improvement.

This is the limitation of talent.

If nothing unexpected happens, even if you practice hard for a lifetime, you can at most reach the middle level of external objects.

However, we should not underestimate the inner realm of external objects.

Bai Chijing inherited this cultivation, so he now has reached the initial stage of external object cultivation. This initial stage allows one to be agile, with a flick of the arms exerting a force of 100 kilograms, and a leap of 10 feet, enough to dominate the secular world. If one has a suitable divine weapon, it is not impossible to use the body to fight against monsters in the world. Otherwise, this person with the second-class "entry into the Tao" cultivation talent would not have been accepted into Tujian Mountain.

Although their qualifications were not good, with more disciples, it would be easier to order them to do things. Moreover, having more disciples would greatly help the reputation of their own sect.

The elders of Tujian Mountain can summon at least a thousand disciples from the Outer Realm as long as they give a command after going down the mountain.

These disciples often have family backgrounds in the secular world, and are all powerful families in their respective regions. It's easy to imagine how powerful this force would be when such forces are gathered together!

Therefore, the various dynasties in the Yaotian Realm mainly adopt an attitude of winning over such immortal sects.

And if it is an immortal sect like Tujian Mountain, they will not hesitate to split the land to crown the king!
Before he knew it, Bai Chijing had been practicing until night time. The bead remained motionless, but Bai Chijing seemed very patient.

Just like that, it was midnight again, and then suddenly, Bai Chijing couldn't help but tremble all over.

Because that wonderful feeling of comfort all over the body appeared again, and spread to every part of the body in an instant.

So, Bai Chijing ended his practice.

Then he spread his palms and looked down.

Sure enough, words were constantly appearing on this bead.

[Today, you practiced hard, and although you didn't gain anything, you still worked hard.]

[Refine, gain a basic level of cultivation +1]

The words began to disappear.

Bai Chijing clearly felt that drastic changes were taking place in his body.

Suddenly, the energy in his body began to surge.

Strands of something that looked like sword energy flowed out of Bai Chijing's body, and then returned one after another.

This is the initial manifestation of Taoism.

And this is the characteristic of the state of mind in the external world!
"Breakthrough..." Bai Chijing couldn't help but feel happy. Since he entered the sect, he has been practicing hard in this body he traveled through, and he didn't dare to slack off for even a single day.

However, due to his limited talent, he stopped moving forward a year ago.

In other words, this initial stage of external objects had already been perfected a year ago. Unless there is a breakthrough, there is no further progress.

And at this moment, with this "rough cultivation +1", Bai Chijing broke through instantly.

"It really works!"

Bai Chijing was filled with excitement, and then began to calculate the time he spent on practicing.

"Almost twelve hours, so that's six hours?"

After understanding this, Bai Chijing had an idea. If he could work without sleep, he could use this bead twice in one day.

But this is unrealistic.

Long-term practice is still too difficult for someone of his level of cultivation.

Unless he could take the pills that replenished his energy, relieved his fatigue, and increased his Qi and blood while swallowing the pills that could help him avoid eating. Such pills were not easy to obtain.

Because apart from the fasting and not taking elixirs, which is a benefit that Tujian Mountain provides to its disciples, the rest of the elixirs are precious resources for cultivation.

In Tujian Mountain, it is a special supply.

For example, disciples of Tujian Mountain like Su Chengwu, the elder's son, can enjoy this kind of elixir benefits. However, they are not free, but can be purchased at a very low price.

It’s about one percent of the normal price, and the quality is top-notch.

After Bai Chijing traveled through time, he gained memories of this body going to buy this type of elixir. Not only was the price high, but the elixir he bought was only of low quality.

Although it works, the effect is very poor.
