[Feel the Qi with your body]

[Feel it as it courses through your body]

[And then compress it]

[Condense it]

[Condense it]

'It's not working.' Wei Jun finally said after trying for three days straight.

He had been trying to condense Qi so he could lower the usage of Qi when he used skills. According to the system, it was possible with hard work and dedication and one could condense Qi and make it purer even without upgrading their cultivation technique.

However, Wei Jun, although guided by the system itself couldn't do so even after three days of straight hard work.

His yang Qi wasn't as resistant as before when he obtained Death Qi, but it was still a little resistant around the Death Qi core.

However, Wei Jun had managed to get both under control and both under harmony so he was sure there would be no swallowing of his yang Qi.

That also helped the yang Qi settle down and circulate as he wanted. However, he still couldn't attract Qi from the outside so he would have to absorb elixirs for that.

But as far as the efforts of condensing Qi went, he was making zero, even less than zero progress.

[Then I guess you would have to upgrade your cultivation technique]

'What do you suggest?' Wei Jun asked.

[Well, your talent is low so hard work is still a requirement]

[And since you can't absorb Qi from the surroundings]

[Your cultivation duration would remain the same]

[However, your Qi would be further condensed, made purer]

[So you can feel the cost deduction while using skills]

[Other than that, upgrading your cultivation technique is of no use]

[Unless you do it to a divine rank which would make the Qi of the choosing your slave]

[You remember how Yan Rong's Qi wasn't afraid of your Death Qi]

[It's like there are five kings]

[The tyrant is the Death Qi whom everyone is afraid of]

[Of course, it's powerful as well]

[But that doesn't mean that other kings are afraid of it as well]

[So if you were to obtain a divine ranked cultivation technique like Yan Rong]

[You would have another king under your control who, although would be repulsive of Death Qi, wouldn't fear it as your current rank of yang Qi does]

'I see.' Once again, Wei Jun could only get half of the explanation but it was still enough for him to understand that he needed a divine ranked cultivation technique if he wanted to cultivate like others, attracting Qi from the atmosphere.

There was just one tiny problem.

'What's their cost?' Wei Jun had no doubt that the divine-ranked techniques would be pricey.

If an A rank cost him a hundred million yuan, he was a higher one would cost him more.

[About that]

[There are only four divine rank techniques available in the system shop]

[And none of them are suitable for you]

'Why the hell not?' Wei Jun asked.

[Because they're holy attributed]

[You make a core of holy Qi inside of you, the Death Qi and holy Qi will fight tooth to nail, destroying your entire vessel]

'Great.' Wei Jun said before he asked, 'Why are there only holy attributed Qis in there?'

[Because they're mine]

'…' Wei Jun paused for a moment before he asked, 'Wait a minute. Everything in the system belongs to you?'

[No]

[Everything in the shop belongs to me]

[I don't decide what the system gives you]

'So the system doesn't give rewards from the shop?'

[No]

[The rewards come from the administrator]

[And if you think my stash in the shop is amazing]

[Then you're in for a surprise]

[Because the administrator has ten times that]

[A hundred times that]

[A thousand times that]

[A mil--]

'Enough! I get it.' Wei Jun interrupted the talkative system which once started, wouldn't stop speaking until Wei Jun was to interrupt.

Wei Jun currently faced three problems.

One was his level problem, obviously. He was sure that had he killed the rest of Shao Chen's team, his level would have risen explosively but he had made a different choice.

Second was his progress. He had failed to keep a main scenario in mind which had almost cost him his performance. It was by luck that he managed to find a scapegoat who he also needed to get rid of.

The third one was his Qi amount. His Qi wasn't enough to activate all the skills a second time. And using [Qi construct], his Qi was barely enough to activate [Qi empowerment] and [Qi armament] once.

However, according to the system, whereas his Qi limit would remain the same, his Qi density would be halved. In other words, he would need half the amount to activate a skill whereas his Qi limit, his core limit to store the Qi, would remain the same.

But now, he was being told that there was no suitable divine ranked for him in the shop.

'So how do I find one?' Wei Jun asked.

[Well, your knowledge isn't enough to make one]

[So I would suggest you start finding one]

[Or there is also that other option]

'What other option?' Wei Jun asked.

[Dual cultivation]

[You can enhance your core limit using Yan Rong's Qi]

'And what would that involve?' Wei Jun asked.

[Sleeping with her]

'No thanks.'

Although Wei Jun was crazy about power, even he knew that shortcuts to power usually came with a price. Sometimes a price no one could bear.

[Well, as I said before, that price would come in the form of stability]

[The faster your strength grows, the more unstable your core becomes]

[even now the stability of your core is nothing compared to your level]

[I would suggest you focus on that, now that your Qi is in your control and not defying you like before]

Wei Jun nodded at the reasonable suggestion and did what the system said. He began to stabilize his core. Strand after strand, and that was how two weeks passed away before he finally opened his eyes.

As he felt his core was now much more stable than before, he stood up and relaxed his muscles.

He went to his room and then to his shower. After a long shower and a long bath, he finally emerged from his room and sat down on the bed. Since he informed everyone properly this time, there were no urgent messages.

He dialed Yan Rong's number and after a while, the call went through.

"Hello, darling. Did you miss me?" Yan Rong asked in a seductive voice from the other side.

"No." Wei Jun straightforwardly replied before he asked, "How's Shao Chen's state?"

"Not bad but not good either. He got into a few fights with the prison top dogs and although he was the winner, he lost quite a bit too." Yan Rong informed before she got to the information she knew Wei Jun was more interested in, "Other than that, he will be processed out in a week. Turned out, Yun Hen Shi had a supporter who was very determined to keep him out."

"Who?" Wei Jun asked.

"Your wife." Yan Rong said with clear irritation in her voice as she explained, "She found out that you were involved and that you were trying to frame Yun Hen Shi. I doubt she knew about Shao Chen but she must have figured you're getting rid of Yun Hen Shi so your company could flourish under Yue Peng's leadership."

Wei Jun nodded and then asked, "What happened then?"

"What did she expect? No matter how powerful the D.A. is, I am more powerful. With the Special Cultivator Forces involved, they couldn't hold out for much longer. After all, they have to explain where the resources are coming from, we don't." Yan Rong replied.

Wei Jun smiled and said, "It seems I have to do something about her."

"You better or I would." Yan Rong said, anger evident in her voice.

"She said something to you?" Wei Jun asked.

"Yeah, she confronted me in front of everyone and said, 'Stay away from my husband'." Yan Rong replied.

"So what did you do?" Wei Jun asked.

"Nothing." Yan Rong replied.

"…" Wei Jun waited for her to speak in silence to which she finally caved in and said, "Nothing! I swear. I did nothing at the moment."

"At the moment?" Wei Jun asked.

"Yeah. I just smiled and passed by her." Yan Rong said before she added, "Later I blew up her office and her car. And maybe I had something to do with the gas leak at her apartment which caused it to catch on fire."

Wei Jun couldn't help but imagine Liu Yu's face after all that but decided not to delve too much into his imagination and said, "Make sure you have Shao Chen as soon as he gets out."

"And what will happen to Yun Hen Shi?" Wei Jun asked.

"He will be sent to a prison for mortals, of course." Yan Rong replied.

"And I assume those prisons don't have the resources to stop a cultivator, am I right?" Wei Jun asked.

"No." Yan Rong replied.

Wei Jun smiled as he left a final instruction, "Let me know when Shao Chen gets out."
