Chapter 9: Realm Levels of the Supernatural World

  Hmm?

  It's delicious...

  Miraculously, after Li Guanqi poured the bowl of curse insects into his mouth and chewed vigorously, the foul odor vanished completely.

  It was like stinky tofu or luosifen noodles – smells bad, tastes good.

  As soon as this bowl of curse insects entered his mouth, the purple viscous liquid and the chewed-up small insects transformed into warm currents. Li Guanqi could even clearly feel the wonderful sensation of the warm currents entering his stomach from his throat, then surging into his limbs and throughout his body.

  Very refreshing.

  This feeling was like when Li Guanqi, after a whole day of devilish training in the basketball gym, would lie directly on the floor, gasping for air, feeling every muscle in his body rex.

  But actually... that was a very unhealthy behavior.

  Perhaps, accepting Wei Mo's curse insect power transfer was simirly unhealthy.

  But regardless, Li Guanqi couldn't refuse.

  He could only continue to feel the changes in his body, as if his blood began to boil, his muscles started to heat up, and a warm, even burning sensation spread throughout his body.

  After a long while.

  This strange feeling gradually faded.

  And Li Guanqi felt his blood become "heavy" again.

  This was the feeling of his body being full of spiritual power, just like when he first obtained the Tongyou talent and hadn't yet used up the spiritual power in his body.

  It wasn't some lower abdomen dantian like in Xianxia novels.

  Many sorcerer techniques required the use of their own blood, and the pce where they stored spiritual power was precisely their entire bloodstream... Hmm?

  Li Guanqi suddenly thought of something.

  As a basketball pyer, he was 1.98m tall and weighed 100kg.

  Although part of his heavy weight was due to muscles built from years of training, retively speaking, the amount of blood in his body was ultimately still more than that of an ordinary person.

  If so, wouldn't that mean he could store more spiritual power than others?

  "You are very rge. This is an advantage."

  Wei Mo suddenly spoke.

  The old dwarf looked at Li Guanqi's body, a hidden covetousness fshing in his cloudy eyes. "A rge body can accommodate more blood, thus storing more spiritual power."

  "But..."

  Li Guanqi was curious. "Master, you said the sorcerer characteristic is 'What Heaven does not grant, it must bestow elsewhere,' and the more congenitally disabled a person is, the higher their sorcerer aptitude. But doesn't physical disability mean retively less blood in the body?"

  "Precisely."

  Wei Mo smiled. "This is actually also part of the sorcerer characteristic. I will gradually tell you more about the sorcerer characteristic in the future.

  Back to the blood.

  In ninety-nine percent of cases, the higher a sorcerer's aptitude, the more disabled their body, thus the less blood they have, and the less spiritual power they can store.

  Therefore, sorcerers with higher aptitude are less adept at protracted battles.

  The spiritual power in their bodies might only be enough for them to cast one curse technique... but it's also possible that this single technique is enough to destroy heaven and earth.

  However, this is all retive."

  Wei Mo's eyes narrowed slightly. "The concentration of spiritual power that each drop of blood in a high-level sorcerer can hold is several times, tens of times, even hundreds of times that of a low-level sorcerer."

  "Sorcerers also have levels?" Li Guanqi asked.

  "Of course."

  Wei Mo took out a small booklet from his sleeve. "This is the method for breathing in spiritual power. What you need to do every day from now on is to constantly cultivate, breathing in spiritual power.

  However, you don't need to breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  Your body can only absorb fifty percent of the cultivation from the curse insects you eat on its own. The other fifty percent needs to be absorbed through the breathing technique. You only need to absorb the residual spiritual power of the curse insects within your body each day."

  It's here!

  Li Guanqi didn't hide the joy on his face.

  Because obtaining a cultivation method was inherently something worth being happy about.

  Sure enough, seeing him so happy, Wei Mo nodded with satisfaction and then said: "Disciple, starting today, every afternoon I will go to the wooden house next door for seclusion, infusing my cultivation into curse insects. Only then can I gently feed them to you to achieve the goal of power transfer.

  After all, if I directly initiated you by pouring, your body would explode.

  Infusing cultivation into insects is a time-consuming and mentally draining task. Unless it's a matter of life and death, you must not disturb Master.

  Besides that, you don't need to worry about eating or drinking.

  Sorcerers are extraordinary, transcending mortals. The so-called cycle of grains is no longer reted to you. Simply breathing in spiritual energy can sustain your body's daily needs.

  Alright then.

  That's it.

  You cultivate slowly, Master is leaving."

  After speaking, Wei Mo walked on air, stepping down from the tabletop, pushed open the door, and left.

  "Disciple respectfully sends Master off."

  Li Guanqi lowered his head and called out.

  Then he eagerly opened the small booklet Wei Mo had given him.

  There were three characters on the cover.

  "Huh?"

  Li Guanqi was taken aback.

  Because these three characters were Chinese characters, and damn simplified ones at that.

  — Qi Guiding Art (引气决).

  Mm, a very generic name.

  Although the appearance of simplified Chinese characters in another world seemed absurd, the supernatural world had already descended globally. Even if he opened the door tomorrow and saw Ultraman fighting monsters on the street, Li Guanqi probably wouldn't be surprised.

  Li Guanqi sat in the chair and carefully read through this small booklet, which was smaller than his palm.

  The book itself was smaller than a normal book.

  His hand was rger than a normal person's.

  Therefore, reading it was quite uncomfortable.

  But within two minutes, he was deeply attracted by the content and completely engrossed, because this "Qi Guiding Art" not only contained the method for guiding qi into the body but also detailed descriptions of the various realms of sorcerers.

  "Rustle."

  After a long while, Li Guanqi finally finished the st page. The sound of turning the page was very clear in the quiet room.

  "Ding!"

  "You have discovered a new cultivation system. Please check the Supernatural System for details."

  Li Guanqi raised an eyebrow, and then with a thought, the translucent light screen panel of the Supernatural System appeared before his eyes.

  [Name: Li Guanq

  [Identity: Sorcerer Apprentice]

  [Realm: Unranked]

  [Level Rating: 2.3]

  The subsequent realms are as follows:

  Yiyuan (Monad) Realm Sorcerer (Level Rating generally fluctuates between 10-19)

  Liangyi (Duality) Realm Sorcerer (Level Rating generally fluctuates between 20-29)

  Sancai (Trinity) (30-39)

  Sixiang (Tetrad) (40-49)

  Wuxing (Five Elements) (50-59)

  Liuhe (Six Harmonies) (60-69)

  Qixing (Seven Stars) (70-79)

  Bagua (Eight Trigrams) (80-89)

  Jiugong (Nine Paces) (90-99)

  Wuliang (Immeasurable) (100-???)

  "Level is just a reference, realm is also just a reference, neither represents actual combat performance."

  Li Guanqi's eyes flickered.

  Even a child holding a sharp dagger could ambush and kill a strong adult.

  As long as one could find the opponent's weakness, the gap between realms was definitely not an insurmountable chasm.

  Otherwise, during the simution, he wouldn't have been able to kill Wei Mo at close range relying on a mortal body plus [Swift Steps (Green)].

  Yes.

  That's right.

  No matter what level sorcerer Wei Mo is, he must have confidence. He can definitely kill Wei Mo and achieve a perfect clear.

  After giving himself a mental pep talk, Li Guanqi walked to the bed and y down. He casually pulled a few pieces of straw over himself, adjusted into a comfortable lying position, and then began to cultivate.

  Yes, cultivate just like that.

  Sorcerer cultivation didn't require any sitting meditation, hand seals, palms facing the sky, or anything like that.

  He just needed a quiet environment, and then any posture, as long as it was comfortable. Then, he sensed the blood within his body, used his blood to resonate with the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and guided the qi into his body.

  Soon, Li Guanqi completely entered a state of cultivation.
