Stuck in a Chinese novel

Chapter 206: Age

[The armor of Valhalla has been heavily damaged]

[The armor of Valhalla has been unequipped]

Wei Jun used 100,000 coins, which was actually a hundred million in yuan, almost all the last of his money to purchase armor with just defensive capabilities. It was only B tier yet it was very expensive. Wei Jun still bought it because it was self-repair like his suit and also because it was an urgent situation.

'What the hell happened?' Wei Jun asked the only other person there.

[The storm of Qi wasn't hers]

[She was pulling Qi in]

[Unconsciously, of course]

[As I said before]

[She is a great talent]

Wei Jun wasn't happy with the system wording the situation like that because he was currently face to face with a powerful enemy and there was no telling what would happen when she had become more powerful than she already was.

And with Wei Jun's money on the down low, he wasn't sure he would be able to prepare emergency protection.

[Don't worry]

[She couldn't breakthrough]

'Fwoo…' Wei Jun heaved a sigh of relief before he asked, 'What do you mean?'

[It means that she stopped before she could enter the Qi Master realm]

[Her mental state was too unstable]

[But she is still in the last stage of the Qi manifestation realm]

Wei Jun wasn't happy with such an assurance as he looked at Liu Yu who was sitting cross-legged, a thing blue barrier around her.

[She's stabilizing her core]

[She must have realized what was happening]

'What's that blue barrier around her?' Wei Jun asked. If Liu Yu was busy cultivating, it was a perfect chance to kill her.

[You're not getting through that barrier unless you use Death Qi]

[Even that is just a chance]

'So is there no way?' Wei Jun asked. He didn't have enough money to buy another Qi blocker and his last one was busted in the mana wave so the two extra tries on it went to waste.

[Use Death Qi]

'Other than that?' Wei Jun asked.

[Focus on your own cultivation]

[It's a shame though]

The system said which intrigued Wei Jun as he asked, 'What do you mean?'

[If you had a divine ranked technique]

[You could have focused on your cultivation]

[This room is rich in cultivation]

'Yeah, well that would have been impossible anyway.' Wei Jun said.

[Wei Jun Ruan

Level: 62

HP: 71\\71

QP: 800\\800

Death Qi: 204\\204

Cultivation realm: Qi empowerment realm]

[Strength: 109]

[Agility: 140]

[Stamina: 138]

[Defense: 117]

[Qi: 147]

[Charm: 51]

[Luck: 29]

Wei Jun's current stat limit was 140 at level 60. His Qi was already above the limit and his agility was at the maximum of his level. He could focus on his stamina, strength, and defense, but even if he were to work out for a month, he wasn't optimistic about getting even one stat point increase.

He hadn't had a natural increase in his stats after his stats hit 20. Unless he were to use the 22 levels in his arsenal which he could use to unlock volumes, he had only two other ways of increasing stats.

Kill cultivators, or consume elixirs that raised his physical stats but they were expensive as hell.

Much more expensive than the cultivation technique he practiced.

[I suggest perfecting your core]

[It would make the circulation of Qi easier, making your skills stable]

[It would also help the skill 'Qi construct']

Wei Jun nodded and sat down cross-legged.

'How do I protect myself like her?' Wei Jun asked.

[You haven't gained that skill yet]

'How come she has it then?'

[She's at Qi manifestation realm]

[It's a requirement for that skill]

Wei Jun nodded to the system's reasoning and closed his eyes but he also kept them half open, just metaphorically as his senses were half focused on Liu Yu and only half focused on his core stabilizing.

It would cut his time but he had no other choice. Liu Yu was strong and Wei Jun didn't want to give her any chance to his life. With her at the peak of the Qi manifestation realm, he wasn't going to risk it with anything.

He reached deep down and began to pull in the fabrics of Qi back to his core and turn it into a solid ball rather than a ball of yarn.

Soon enough, Wei Jun had pulled in one strand. It had only taken him thirty minutes to do that. Even with his senses half focused on Liu Yu, he still did that in half the time.

Wei Jun, although very much wanted to fully focus on the core stabilization, still kept half of his focus on Liu Yu and began to pull in the Qi strands inside his core to make it stable.

It wasn't long before a rhythm was established and Wei Jun was going at it fast. The time he needed for each strand reduced by a second every time he did and after four days of constant procedure, the time he required was just twenty minutes.

Still, mental exhaustion caught up with him and he had no choice but to stop for some time.

Wei Jun stood up. The room was still chilly thanks to Liu Yu's cultivation. Her Yin Qi was still emitting from her and lighting up the room. Wei Jun didn't need to enhance his sight anymore.

[she's good with just an S-rank cultivation technique]

[I can only wonder what the result would be with a divine rank technique]

[She might even be able to rival Yan Rong]

'It's not a shame when she's an enemy.' Wei Jun said.

[She doesn't have to be]

[She has a perfect Yin body just like Yan Rong]

[One cultivation session with her would earn both of you great benefits]

'What part of she's the enemy do you not understand?' Wei Jun retorted.

[And have you never heard of the phrase 'Sleeping with the enemy'?]

[Besides, angry intercourse is in rage these days]

'…' Wei Jun was left speechless at the system's words so he decided to stop the conversation altogether and asked, 'Do you have a yin cultivation technique?'

Wei Jun wasn't asking for Liu Yu. He was asking for Xia Lu. He didn't want something like the last to occur. He might not be fast enough next time.

Assuming there was a next time.

[Not divine ranked]

[But I have many SSS rank ones]

[My wives were the masters of those techniques]

[My main wife even made a divine ranked technique but she passed away before she could pass it down]

'Ahan.' Wei Jun replied, uninterested in all that but he was interested in the fact that there were many SSS rank techniques in the system's arsenal.

'Say, what rank of technique would the sect master practice?' Wei Jun asked curiously.

With a power so enormous and having gone through something called a body reconstruction, he was curious about what level of technique he practiced.

[F rank]

'…' Wei Jun thought he heard wrong so he asked the system to say it again but the answer remained the same.

[F rank]

'Wha…. How?' Wei Jun couldn't help but be lost. A [Qi demon] had an F rank cultivation technique. How was that even possible? Zhan Yi and Quan Li practiced E rank cultivation techniques and even after all this time, they were still in the Qi sense realm, the first realm.

[It probably has something with him being old]

'Even if he went through a body construction, how is that possible in just a few years?' Wei Jun asked.

According to the system's brief explanation, body reconstruction meant that a body would reconstruct back to someone's prime where all of their organs would be in their prime, enhancing the natural life of a person.

[I never said he went through it only once]

'…' Wei Jun didn't know what to say so he asked, 'Isn't that a rare thing even just once?'

[It is]

[But he must have something to help him]

[It is not impossible for such an artifact or some magical elixir to exist]

'How many times?' Wei Jun couldn't help but ask after the system explained.

[He's pretty young]

[So my guess would be about nineteen times]

'…' Wei Jun was once again left speechless and asked, 'How long do cultivators live?'

[Around 200 max]

[Unless they achieve the immortal status]

'Make it 150 on average. Nineteen times would mean this is his twentieth time being young. He's almost 3000 years old?' Wei Jun was left flabbergasted by everything he had heard today.

[Approximately]

'And that's 'pretty young'?' Wei Jun worded the system's words.

[You do realize I'm millions of years old, right?]

[Even before I became an overseer, I lived for 1,000,871 years]

[For me, he is pretty young]

[If not a child]

Wei Jun was officially done with that conversation. He was just sent there to live fifty years and now he was hearing that there were cultivators who were thousands of years old and so strong that he might be able to defeat them in that time frame.

So there was only one thing left to do. Your journey continues with ???

Wei Jun closed his eyes and reached deep down into his core. He had rested enough. He had no time to rest.
