Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Perfect Cultivation Environment

Yu Zhuoran spoke up.

"We’re here to cultivate and get stronger, not to live in luxury. We don’t have high expectations for our accommodations."

Pei Jiu also chimed in, "Yu Zhuoran is right."

Yi Wei smiled. "Don’t worry, everyone. The houses might be a little small, but the Source Energy inside is rich—even higher than at Azure Sky Martial Arts Academy."

As soon as she said this, Lin Qi’s eyes lit up.

’The Source Energy Concentration is even higher than at the Tenth Academy? Doesn’t that mean it’s at least twice as high as in my villa?’

"The information has been sent to all of you, and the user manual has been transmitted to your smart AIs. You can ask them for details yourselves."

Dean Liu also spoke up at this moment.

"After you enter your villas, take two days to acclimate. On the third day, you’ll begin your cultivation inside."

Yi Wei began assigning the villas.

Two minutes later, they stood before the entrance of a blue and white villa.

"Student Lin Qi, this villa, E86, will be your home for the next month..."

Yi Wei said enthusiastically, pointing at the villa.

Dean Liu added, "Lin Qi, if you need anything, feel free to contact me or Teacher Yi."

"Okay!"

Lin Qi nodded. After the two of them left, he turned and walked into the villa.

The first floor housed the living room and bedroom, with a total area about half the size of his living room at Azure Sky Martial Arts Academy.

The second floor was a Martial Arts Room, and the third floor was a balcony.

After a quick tour, Lin Qi entered the Martial Arts Room. It was fully equipped with all kinds of training equipment, including a Virtual Cabin.

He opened his luggage and took out the resources he had prepared and his Martial Arts Uniform.

After changing into the Martial Arts Uniform, he sat cross-legged and carefully sensed the surrounding Source Energy Particles.

In his Perception, countless points of light filled the air around him, as dense as grains of sand in a desert.

They were all gathered together, and the density was frighteningly high.

Lin Qi was startled. ’Is this the Source Energy Concentration of the Otherworld?’

It was at least three times higher than in his villa at Azure Sky Martial Arts Academy.

After just a few moments, a wave of hunger washed over him.

’I’m hungry already?’

Lin Qi was surprised. He glanced at the time on his phone; it was only 11:00.

He felt a heaviness in his body. He hadn’t even started cultivating; just walking around and riding in the car for a short while had already caused his body’s energy to deplete rapidly.

’If I stay in a 3G environment for 24 hours, the energy consumption will be immense. But at the same time, it could rapidly accelerate my body’s transformation.’

Three times the Source Energy Concentration, and constant 3G gravity.

If he cultivated his Spear Technique in this environment, he could achieve a huge breakthrough.

Lin Qi’s mind raced. If he cultivated in the villa for a month, his Qi and Blood Value and his Martial Arts would advance by leaps and bounds.

"Little Chan, order food!"

"Yes, Master!"

Little Blue-robed Xiaochan’s projection appeared, and she displayed the menu.

Lin Qi took a quick look. The prices for the nutritional meals hadn’t changed.

So, he ordered two Level 4 Nutritional Meals.

Ten minutes later, the nutritional meals were delivered. After Lin Qi finished eating and the feeling of hunger subsided, he immediately began to cultivate.

WHOOSH~

A breeze stirred from thin air, gradually forming fierce gusts of wind that swirled around Lin Qi’s body.

In his Consciousness Space, a towering Vajra Tiger was absorbing the surrounding Source Energy like a storm.

Source Energy poured into his body through its pores like a waterfall.

Like the ceaseless torrent of the Yellow River, a cool aura surged wildly into his body, making him shudder involuntarily.

As if throwing a party, the cells in his body began to madly devour the Source Energy Particles.

The cells devoured and began to divide. His muscles, Great Tendons, skin, bones, Inner Organs, and other bodily tissues all began to transform.

At the same time, his genes began to optimize, with a focus on his bones, which were also undergoing Refinement.

His body was getting stronger by the second. Lin Qi felt nothing but exhilaration as his body frantically absorbed Source Energy like a bottomless pit.

Lin Qi found this feeling of growing stronger was simply too thrilling; it was more addicting than any game or form of entertainment.

Time passed, second by second.

「Two hours later」

He felt his body stop absorbing Source Energy. It was no longer digesting and converting it, and he received a sensation of being "full."

He knew it was time to end his cultivation.

WHOOSH~

He snapped his eyes open, and a golden light seemed to shoot out from them. A fierce and domineering aura erupted from his body.

The gale spread outwards like a tidal wave.

CRACK! CRACK!

Lin Qi clenched his fists, which cracked audibly. A continuous stream of power surged forth, his body was activated, and his Qi Blood surged wildly.

[You have entered the Otherworld. By performing Source Energy Cultivation in an environment with 3G gravity and high Source Energy Concentration, your efficiency has greatly increased. Qi and Blood Value +5]

[Qi and Blood Value: 134 → 139]

...

Seeing that his Qi and Blood Value on the golden panel had increased by a full 5 points, Lin Qi’s face lit up with a pleasant surprise.

"The effect is even stronger than I imagined. This first cultivation session is comparable to taking Bone Tempering Liquid, maybe even better."

Lin Qi was thrilled. He had made such a huge improvement on his very first day.

If he stayed for a month, both his Qi and Blood Value and his Martial Arts would undergo a complete transformation.

...

「That evening, in a certain villa.」

A burly, bald man walked into the spacious living room.

Xiang Long, who had coarse features, said with a look of pleasant surprise:

"Teacher, I didn’t expect you to be back!"

The bald man leaned back on the sofa and grinned.

"I went out looking for an opportunity and came back after breaking through to the Eighth Realm."

"I happened to hear that you came to the Otherworld to cultivate an Intermediate Source Energy Technique, so I came to see you."

Xiang Long smiled. "Congratulations on breaking through to the Eighth Realm, Teacher!"

"I am cultivating the *Platinum Evil Tiger Evolution Method*. Once I succeed, my strength will improve tremendously."

"In the future, I will forge the Slaughter Tiger Bone."

The bald man laughed. "You are my disciple. Of course you can do it."

After laughing, he suddenly added:

"I heard someone named Lin Qi came along as well."

"His teacher, Mu Hong, is an old acquaintance of mine."

"I didn’t expect him to be so lucky as to have taken on a genius disciple."

"But he’s no match for my disciple."

Xiang Long also grinned confidently. "He isn’t even Awakened. How could he possibly compare to me!"

...

「That evening, Villa E87」

This was Wan Ming’s villa. In the spacious living room, five people were sitting at a dining table laden with all sorts of dishes.

"I have to say, the Source Energy Concentration in the Otherworld is really high!"

"The results of two hours of my cultivation here are equivalent to two days at the academy!"

Wan Ming said after chewing and swallowing the food in his mouth.

"I feel a big improvement too!" Han Zhen nodded.

"The 3G gravity makes our bodies consume a lot of energy, so when we cultivate, our efficiency increases dramatically," Xia Lian added.

Pei Jiu took a sip of soup and said:

"In the Otherworld, every inch of space in the War Base is extremely precious."

"Accommodations cost money."

"Ordinary Martial Artists who want to come to the Otherworld to explore have to rent a place. The rooms are usually less than 20 square meters, but they cost 3,000 yuan a day!"

Lin Qi was shocked. ’3,000 yuan? Is this a five-star hotel?’

Although he wasn’t short on money now, he still felt that 3,000 yuan a night was truly expensive.

"3,000 yuan is considered a good price. In the Otherworld, you can make progress just by absorbing Source Energy without doing anything else."

Wan Ming took a sip of cola and said:

"And that’s just for the cheapest places. The price for a villa like ours is astronomical. One month costs at least 10 million Xia Country Coins!"

Lin Qi did a quick mental calculation. 10 million Xia Country Coins a month meant 120 million Xia Country Coins a year.

But he thought it was cheap. The effects of a single month’s improvement would cost more than 10 million if he tried to achieve it by buying Bone Tempering Liquid.

Wan Ming spoke again.

"Actually, there are even better villas with higher Source Energy Concentration, but usually only High Realm Martial Artists live there, and the price is several times higher."

"Even if you’re rich, it’s still a painful expense, so everyone rents by the month."

"Students from our Azure Sky Martial Arts Academy get a discount—each student gets one free month in the Otherworld."

"In other words, we can live here for free for one month. After that, we’ll have to pay."

Lin Qi nodded. They had about a month this time for their Source Energy Cultivation in the Otherworld.

After a month, they would have to return to the academy.

Therefore, Lin Qi planned to make the most of this month to drastically improve his strength.

...

「The next day arrived quickly.」

When he woke up in the morning, Lin Qi felt unusually hungry.

Throughout the night, even though he had done nothing, his body had been constantly fighting against 3G gravity.

The energy consumption was enormous.

He thought about the ordinary people who came to the Otherworld. Even if they were only at the First Realm, they were still provided with dormitory-style housing.

Over time, under various conditions like 3G gravity and rich Source Energy,

it wouldn’t be surprising for them to break through to the Second Realm, or even the Third Realm. This was the benefit of the environment.

After getting up, he didn’t go out much, staying in the Martial Arts Room to cultivate.

It was as if his body’s potential had been awakened; both his Qi and Blood Value and his Martial Arts improved.

This continued until evening, when he received a notification from Dean Liu.

「7:00 PM」

Inside the living room of a luxurious villa.

Lin Qi entered. The decor was a palette of blue and white, making him feel as if he were on a sandy beach by the sea.

More than a dozen people were seated on the sofas and smart chairs in the spacious hall.

"Lin Qi!"

Wan Ming and the others greeted him as he walked in.

Then, he frowned, spotting a familiar figure.

A familiar black robe, an upright posture, a uniquely sharp aura, and a vigorous Life Force.

The man turned his head and said:

"Lin Qi!"

"Teacher!"

A look of delight crossed Lin Qi’s face, and he walked over quickly.

Dean Liu got a smart chair for Lin Qi.

"Teacher, what are you doing here?"

"Could it be... you broke through?"

Lin Qi could feel the formidable aura coming from him; the Mu Hong from before was definitely not this powerful.

Mu Hong smiled and nodded.

Lin Qi was overjoyed. ’From now on, my teacher is an Eighth Realm Martial Artist.’

His backer was an Eighth Realm Martial Artist. In the entire Xia Country, aside from the publicly known Ninth-level Martial Artists, Eighth-level Martial Artists were the strongest.

They were major figures wherever they went; he could even become the Hall Master of a city’s Martial Arts Dojo without any problem.

The sense of security this brought was unparalleled.
