A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Chapter 218. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Cultivation Techniques

Two hours later, Li Wei carried the exhausted Miyamoto Rei out of the sea. The way he carried her in a princess carry made Miyamoto Rei feel shy, and she could only bury her head in Li Wei's chest.

"Brother, don't you mind a bad woman like me? You know about my past," Miyamoto Rei said softly.

"So what?" Li Wei laughed.

Once he's decided to do something, no one can stop him. Although it was a moment of excitement that led him and Rei Miyamoto to cross that final line, he will take full responsibility for it.

Moreover, the fusion of life also improved his cultivation to a certain extent. As the "heroine" of this world, Miyamoto Rei was entangled in a huge karma, and this wonderful power greatly benefited Li Wei. His cultivation, which could only improve slowly through his own cultivation, instantly increased by a lot.

However, the *Huangdi Feisheng Jing* (Yellow Emperor's Ascension Scripture) also has certain problems. The effect is best the first time when practicing with a partner, but then the effect rapidly diminishes until it drops to about three times the efficiency of regular practice. At that point, the partner benefits more than the practitioner.

Li Wei could understand why the Yellow Emperor was so extravagant. Just think about how fast the Yellow Emperor cultivated, and you'll understand the bug in this technique.

However, nothing in the world is ever absolutely perfect. Even something as seemingly flawless as the "Yellow Emperor's Ascension Scripture" has its problems. This technique has a relatively low entry barrier, making it one of the easiest top-tier techniques to learn. However, because it requires a large number of partners to assist in its cultivation, apart from individuals with extraordinary luck like the Yellow Emperor, it is simply impossible for others to find enough partners to help them cultivate.

As for setting one's sights on those powerful female immortals? Those who don't know the meaning of death can try; not everyone has the charisma of the Yellow Emperor.

Other top-tier cultivation techniques are difficult to master, requiring great opportunities and perseverance, as well as consuming a large amount of cultivation resources, before one can achieve a breakthrough.

The Yellow Emperor's Ascension Scripture consumes almost zero conventional cultivation resources, but its demand for special resources is enough to deter most cultivators.

This special resource is a fellow practitioner's partner. It's important to understand that women, as the core of the karmic entanglement, are considered exceptional individuals, already caught in the storm. To provoke such a being means to inevitably be drawn into the storm yourself. In the ancient times of the Yellow Emperor, an era where dragons and phoenixes were as numerous as carp crossing a river, he was able to achieve his ultimate leap over the dragon gate, attaining great freedom and liberation. Later practitioners were all crushed on the beach before they even began.

If Li Wei didn't have the ability to travel between worlds, this cultivation technique would be a bottomless pit. Once you start practicing this technique, it means you can't switch to other techniques. And there are only a few exceptional women in a world. Once you collect them all, your cultivation efficiency will immediately drop. The regular cultivation efficiency of the "Yellow Emperor's Ascension Scripture" is less than 20% of that of other techniques of the same level. You can imagine how terrible this technique is.

However, there is a reason why a technique with such obvious flaws can be listed as a top-tier gold-level technique.

First of all, as long as there is no shortage of fellow practitioners, the cultivation efficiency of this technique is faster than other top-level techniques, and its combat power is also greater.

Secondly, this cultivation method has a certain altruistic aspect; the cultivation partners of fellow practitioners can also benefit from increased cultivation, with the highest possible cultivation level only one major realm lower than the cultivator. The Yellow Emperor's army of beauties was a force that no one dared to provoke in his time.

The Yellow Emperor's immortal position was not given to him by anyone, but he took it by himself, and no one dared to say a word about it. The Yellow Emperor was essentially carrying a Heavenly Court on his own. The reason why he and the other two human emperors dared to ignore the Heavenly Court was because they had the strength to dismantle the Heavenly Realm by themselves. Such a ruthless person was someone you would stay as far away from as possible.

When Li Wei first saw the appendix at the end of the cultivation manual, he was also shocked by the prestige of the three human emperors. These were beings who dared to change the fate of the Heavenly Realm at any time. They were truly three ruthless individuals.

The altruistic nature of this technique can even allow mortal women to achieve immortality. However, the cultivation level of a partner comes from the cultivator. Once the cultivator perishes, a female immortal who already possesses cultivation will at most revert to her original form. But if a mortal achieves immortality, then all cultivation will be lost, and she will be reduced to ashes.

This characteristic of shared prosperity and shared loss is what makes this technique unique, and it is also one of the biggest advantages that allows it to be ranked among the top-tier techniques.

Li Wei even speculated that the reason why the Yellow Emperor's Crystal Palace was relatively harmonious was because his consorts knew what their foundation was. Otherwise, these three thousand beauties would have fought tooth and nail to the point of exhaustion.

Li Wei carried Miyamoto Rei back to the beach. After dispelling the water-repelling spell, Miyamoto Rei found herself completely dry; even the sweat from her earlier exercise had vanished. Miyamoto Rei said, "Brother, I feel a power flowing through my body. What's going on?"

Li Wei said, "This is my gift. I am an apprentice immortal cultivating ancient immortal techniques, and this is the reward for the path I have walked. Women who become my partners can gain power, and some may even become immortals." Miyamoto Rei said, "But there's no such thing as a free lunch. Power that can be obtained so easily must come with certain problems, right?"

Li Wei nodded, gently placed 020 Miyamoto Rei on the beach chair, and said, "The power that my partners gained is because of me. My partners and I are like a server and a terminal. If something happens to me, all the partners who gained power will lose their power, or even their lives."

Rei Miyamoto said, "This cannot be called a problem."

In Miyamoto Rei's view, once other women know about this, many will definitely come running to pursue her. It's said that it's easy for a woman to pursue a man, but difficult for a man to pursue a woman.

However, Li Wei did not expose this matter, which shows that he has extremely strong self-control. This made Miyamoto Rei somewhat gratified, as she had finally made the right choice.

Li Wei wore a smile on his face, but inwardly he wanted to complain. Luckily, he was someone who could freely travel to other worlds; otherwise, he probably would have exhausted his lifespan and still wouldn't have been able to master the "Yellow Emperor's Ascension Scripture."

Moreover, the current environment is different from that of ancient times. The female immortals of ancient times possessed unparalleled strength and talent, which is why the Yellow Emperor was able to achieve a much faster growth rate than others.

As for Li Wei, his growth rate couldn't be as exaggerated as the Yellow Emperor's, so the only thing he could do was patiently continue on his path.

Chapter 219. Takagi Saya is very curious.

“It’s getting late, let’s head back first. Fellow practitioners can increase our strength, so you can come over to my place whenever you have free time,” Li Wei said.

Rei Miyamoto responded softly. She knew that this kind of thing would be of great benefit to her, but she still felt shy.

Li Wei snapped his fingers, and the white, openwork one-piece swimsuit that Miyamoto Rei was wearing had transformed into the uniform of the former Fujimi Academy private school.

Rei Miyamoto noticed that her school uniform, which had originally fit well, was now a little tight, and the skirt seemed a bit too short. She looked at Li Wei, who was smiling.

I wanted to ask Li Wei if he had done anything to the school uniform, but I was too embarrassed to ask, so I had to leave it at that.

Li Wei summoned the flying carpet, and after putting away the beach chairs, the two rode the flying carpet back to the academy camp.

Li Wei no longer intends to extract points from Miyamoto Rei. After all, Miyamoto Rei is now his partner, and he cannot do those excessive things to his partner. Therefore, the only remaining targets for extracting points are Komuro Takashi and Igo Hisashi.

Originally, Li Wei came to this world not mainly for points, but for a large number of high-quality companions. So, it's not a problem if the points are less. Cultivating with his companions to increase his cultivation is the real purpose. Only with stronger combat power can he go to those worlds with higher danger levels to farm points, forming a virtuous cycle.

Back at the camp, Li Wei escorted Miyamoto Rei back to her room.

The feeling of increased cultivation gave Li Wei more confidence, allowing him to completely eliminate any flaws in his self-directed and self-acted drama, making it impossible for anyone to see any problems.

Just as Li Wei was about to leave dormitory number one, a figure blocked his way.

"Saya, is there something you need?" Li Wei asked with a smile.

Before him stood a pink-haired, twin-tailed girl with glasses, Saya Takagi.

"There's something I need to trouble you with, teacher," Takagi Saya said somewhat apologetically.

“Sure, there’s no need for you to feel embarrassed. You can come to me with any problems or troubles,” Li Wei said.

Following Saya Takagi to Yuriko Takagi's room, Yuriko was not in the room at the time, but as Yuriko's daughter, she had a key to the room.

"Alright, why do you have to be so secretive about everything?" Li Wei said with a smile.

Saya Takagi took off her glasses and held them in front of Li Wei, saying, "Teacher, my glasses are broken. I tried to fix them myself, but the more I tried, the bigger the problem became. Now, if I run around even slightly, the lenses will fall off the frames."

Saya Takagi didn't want Li Wei to know about this embarrassing incident, since she thought it was quite shameful. However, as a "half-blind" person with severe myopia and a slight astigmatism, not having glasses was extremely inconvenient.

Without her glasses, she struggles even with daily life, let alone participating in missions to search for supplies.

Li Wei took the glasses and examined them; they were just normal wear and tear. But that's the inconvenience of the apocalypse. Before the apocalypse, if Takagi Saya encountered this problem, she could go to an optician's to get them repaired or a new pair. But now, the optician's employees were probably all zombies by now.

In the apocalypse, the order of human society has collapsed, and people with certain physical problems will face many issues.

Nearsightedness, flat feet, tooth decay, migraines... all sorts of problems that could be easily solved before the apocalypse can drive a survivor to a mental breakdown in the apocalypse.

In the original storyline, if Saya Takagi encountered such a problem, it would be virtually unsolvable. No one in the group knew how to repair glasses, and glasses always age and break down; even high-end glasses only last a few years. Once her glasses were damaged, Saya Takagi would be essentially "useless."

“It’s just normal wear and tear. How long have you been using these glasses?” Li Wei said.

“It’s been almost two years,” Takagi Saya said. These glasses were a birthday gift from Takagi Yuriko, so she had been wearing them ever since, reluctant to take them off. The result of not having a spare pair was that the glasses wore out much faster than she had anticipated; in less than two years, they were already damaged.

Saya Takagi had absolute confidence in Li Wei. In her opinion, a genius like Li Wei could easily fix a pair of glasses.

Li Wei released his grip on the glasses, which instantly returned to their original, component-based state in mid-air. Each component was restored to a brand-new condition by magical restoration. After the components were completely renewed, these intricate parts were reassembled, and a brand-new pair of glasses appeared before Takagi Saya.

Saya Takagi looked delighted, took the glasses, and put them on her nose. She felt that the whole world was so clear, and she didn't feel dizzy at all.

Li Wei said, "These glasses have been modified by magic and are now considered a spiritual object. They can slowly repair your vision and gradually correct it to above normal standards. Moreover, these glasses also have night vision capabilities, so even in completely dark environments, you don't have to worry about not being able to see the road ahead."

"Thank you, teacher!" Takagi Saya was overjoyed. The benefits she could gain from Li Wei's modification of the glasses were enormous.

Saya Takagi said, "Teacher, there's a question I've always been curious about, but I haven't had the chance to ask it yet: how do we control the flying carpet? Although you said before that it wasn't time to give the answer, I just can't suppress my curiosity."

Li Wei stared straight at Takagi Saya, who felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and said, "Teacher, please stop beating around the bush and just tell me."

Li Wei said, "I'm afraid you can't bear such a price. If you want to gain extraordinary power, you must become my partner. After becoming my partner, you will naturally gain extraordinary power. At that time, let alone a small object like a flying carpet, you will be able to easily control even aggressive beings."

Saya Takagi was stunned; she hadn't expected Li Wei's answer to be like this.

Li Wei said, "That's why I said it's not the right time yet. Not everyone can make a choice to gain power. After all, I'm not money, and I can't please everyone."

Saya Takagi inwardly wanted to complain: Li Wei certainly couldn't please everyone, but he could please the vast majority of women. At least, if forced to choose between money and Li Wei, most women would choose Li Wei over money.

Chapter 220. Can this really be considered a side effect?

Saya Takagi said, "I thought gaining power would require a lot of arduous training, but I didn't expect the threshold to be so low. However, if this matter is exposed, you'll probably have a lot more messy women around you, teacher."

Li Wei gave a wry smile and said, "That's why I said now is not the right time. This kind of thing is based on mutual consent, and gaining power in this way also comes at a price."

Saya Takagi gave her a "I knew it wouldn't be that simple" look and said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, teacher. There must be some side effects to gaining power this way, right?"

Li Wei said, "Women who gain power in this way will become an integral part of me, sharing both glory and ruin. If I were to perish, women who gained power in this way would almost certainly die. However, as long as I am healthy, women who gained power in this way can be resurrected by me even if they perish. Of course, this ability to resurrect requires my own abilities to evolve to a certain level."

Li Wei explained the pros and cons in a language that Takagi Saya could understand.

Saya Takagi exclaimed in surprise, "This is hardly a side effect at all! Even in a peaceful era before the apocalypse, let alone in this kind of world, there would be plenty of women who would choose to become your partner, teacher!"

In Takagi Saya's view, 020 is more like a contract, or a deepening of the marital relationship. However, the fact that such a contract can grant a woman who is powerless a great deal of power shows its immense power.

Even Takagi Saya herself was tempted. Before, it could be said that she was only attracted to Li Wei's good looks, but now, she had another reason to choose Li Wei.

Li Wei said, "So, can you keep this a secret for me now?"

Li Wei clasped his hands together, a pleading smile on his face.

"Well, I'll reluctantly keep this a secret for you, teacher." Takagi Saya was interrupted from her daydreaming by Li Wei. Although she was still a little shy, she instinctively put on a strong front.

Saya Takagi also had her own selfish motives. The fewer people who knew about this, the fewer competitors she would have. After all, Li Wei was already a highly sought-after guy. Previously, due to various checks and balances, there weren't many girls around Li Wei. If this matter got out, the balance would be broken instantly, and all sorts of girls would try their best to attract Li Wei's attention.

As things stand, the balance hasn't been broken yet, and as long as she's careful, she can still sneak away.

Takagi Saya asked, "Teacher, can the power obtained in this way grant immortality?"

Takagi Saya suddenly thought of this important question, because Li Wei claimed to be an immortal, and immortality was a standard feature of immortals, so she was also very curious about this question.

Li Wei said, "As long as I don't die, my partner won't have to worry about lifespan. And for me now, living for ten thousand years is quite easy."

Saya Takagi swallowed hard. This answer was beyond her imagination, after all, the history of human civilization can only be traced back a few thousand years.

Takagi Saya said, "Teacher, you're only in your early twenties, how do you know you can live for more than ten thousand years?"
