Chapter 59: A Dog’s Death
Xu Tao could tell it was a good idea. However, he still couldn’t be sure if it would work. After all, cultivation wasn’t just about increasing one’s Qi.
It was a balance—cultivating the body through External techniques and the spirit through Internal ones. Only when both were combined could it truly be called proper cultivation.
Of course, Xu Tao starting from zero in Alkryon and reaching Qi Gathering so quickly wasn’t normal. It was only possible because he had already reached the peak in terms of knowledge regarding External techniques.
As soon as his Qi level caught up with that knowledge, he would break through effortlessly.
As the veterans made various excuses and logged off, Xu Tao was left alone with nothing but the motionless NPCs. With no one around, he decided to cultivate in earnest.
"If I focus, I could squeeze this entire place dry in a minute, but..."
He shook his head. Even if he did, he’d only gain one or two more drops of Qi. A drop in the ocean compared to what he already had... no, a drop in a universe.
Closing his eyes, he began cultivating within the limits of normalcy.
His Qi spiked rapidly, and a fraction of it gathered into his real Dantian. After 32 drops of Qi were collected for his virtual avatar, his real body received one full drop. A low ratio, yes—but in the context of a game? Astounding.
"Hmm?"
Naturally, it wasn’t without hiccups.
