Chapter 124: 44: Requirements for Advancement to the Self-cultivation Realm
There were three realms in ancient times, the second of which was the study of the past and present.

After going through the first stage of tracing the past and learning from the past, one goes from a state of chaos and confusion, not knowing where to go, to sticking to one's own heart and strengthening one's own beliefs and ideals.

Students who have entered the realm of self-cultivation should not be complacent because of this. They need to search high and low, earnestly practice their beliefs and ideas, and study hard so as to see the dawn of hope.

Li Yulun's three realms made Niu Bu feel a little confused. What he talked about was like an attic in the sky, too empty and unreal.

Fortunately, Niu Bu opened the blocked message. Looking at the blocked message, he had a new goal.

[Congratulations to player Niu Bu for killing Amushi Shizuku, who is in the Self-cultivation Realm, and being promoted to the Self-cultivation Realm. ]

[Please go to the General's Mansion in Yancheng, find Yancheng's chief general Guo Xiaoding, and receive the advanced elixir (Qingxuan Pill*1). ]

[You have successfully advanced to the Self-cultivation Realm. Please click on the link to view the prerequisites for advancing to the Family-Qi Realm. ]

Looking at the information that popped up, Niu Bu's mind moved, and the prerequisite requirements for advancement to the Qi family realm popped up.

"One: Widen the meridians, open up 362 acupuncture points throughout the body, use spiritual energy to temper the muscles and bones, and be able to destroy farm tools with bare hands."

"Second, master five magical powers: attack, break formations, and charge."

"Three: Improve the two magical powers you have mastered to the level of integration."

"Four: Complete the 100-man slaying."

"Five: Complete one of the following: being the first to reach the target, breaking the formation, beheading the general, or capturing the flag."

Compared with the state of seeking knowledge, the requirements for the state of self-cultivation have skyrocketed. Judging from the content of the requirements, the state of seeking knowledge and the state of self-cultivation are completely not on the same level.

The requirements for the military strategists and military skills school for the level of learning are very low. The first is to find one's own beliefs and ideals, the second is to master two magical powers, and the third is to kill ten people.

After Niu Bu entered the study realm, he completed the tasks of the study realm in just one month and started the task of advancing to the self-cultivation realm.

It took Niu Bu more than a month to complete the task of advancing to the realm of self-cultivation, and that was by chance.

The barbarian in the self-cultivation realm whom I killed had just experienced a camp roar, and I was able to kill him at the risk of my life.

If not for this, it would be hard to say whether Niu Bu could kill the barbarians in the realm of self-cultivation.

This can be seen from the requirements for the realm of self-cultivation.

The state of seeking knowledge is the transformation from mortal to extraordinary, but the gap between them and ordinary people is not that big, and they can be easily killed by ordinary people holding farm tools.

The realm of self-cultivation has already begun to transcend that of ordinary people.

To reach the self-cultivation realm, one needs to open up 362 acupuncture points throughout the body and use spiritual energy to temper the muscles and bones, so as to be able to destroy farm tools with bare hands.

If a disciple of the Self-cultivation Realm School encounters a mortal again, he can stand still and allow the mortal to attack him with farm tools, and he will remain unharmed.

Starting from the self-cultivation realm, players can truly step into the extraordinary realm and create a huge gap between themselves and ordinary people.

"The requirement of the Self-cultivation Realm directly increases the difficulty by a large margin."

"Especially the fifth task, which requires completing one of the following tasks: being the first to reach the top, breaking the formation, beheading the general, or capturing the flag. This task is extremely difficult."

Compared to Li Yulun's confusing explanations, the clearly marked requirements in front of him were more direct. Niu Bu looked at the extremely difficult prerequisites for the self-cultivation realm and felt full of motivation.

When playing games, we are not afraid of difficult tasks, but of having no tasks.

As long as you give the conditions, I will have a goal, and once I have a goal, I will find a way to achieve it.

After closing the game information and blocking it again, Niu Bu used the merit points he gained from killing a cultivator in the Yancheng realm to exchange for a Mo Dao. He said goodbye to Li Yulun while holding the Mo Dao and turned to walk towards the general's mansion.

Arriving at the General's Mansion, Niu Bu asked Guo Xiaoding for a bottle of Qingxuan Dan. Niu Bu didn't care about the exquisitely made Qingxuan Dan bottle at all. He just roughly unscrewed the bottle and poured the pills into his hands. There were six pills with blue cloud patterns on them. I don't know if it was because they were left for too long or the pills themselves were tasteless. In short, Niu Bu didn't smell any medicinal fragrance.

He swallowed all six pills and threw the exquisite bottle away. Before Niu Bu could react, a huge amount of spiritual energy suddenly burst out from his body and gushed in all directions of his body.

Bang, bang, bang!

When the pill entered his abdomen, violent spiritual energy exploded. Niu Bu's left and right hearts pumped blood rapidly at the same time. The strong heartbeat urged the spiritual energy to circulate rapidly in his body. The black blood and the black spiritual energy intertwined, constantly tearing Niu Bu's acupuncture points.

Under the simultaneous action of two hearts and the stimulation of violent spiritual energy, the acupuncture points of Niu Bu were like a thatched house under a flood, which would break at the slightest touch.

Red blood mixed with black continuously flowed out of Niu Bu's seven orifices. At first glance, it looked extremely terrifying.

"This drug is too powerful!"

Niu Bu just felt hot all over, while Chu Zhongxing, who was observing Niu Bu, saw Niu Bu swallow all six pills in one breath, and he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Qingxuan Dan is an elixir refined by Taoists, which can provide a large amount of spiritual energy after taking it.

This thing is used to help disciples in the self-cultivation realm to open up the acupuncture points. Normally, disciples in the self-cultivation realm have to take a week off after taking one pill to prevent the spiritual energy in the body from being too violent and directly destroying the meridians.

As for Niu Bu, he treated these things as candy beans and swallowed all six of them in one breath.

All I can say is that players who treat death as the norm don’t take their bodies seriously at all.

At worst, I'll die and then be resurrected and that's all.

The violent spiritual energy helped Niu Bu to open up his acupuncture points like a whirlwind, but the price was also very heavy. Niu Bu died tragically in Yancheng.

To be honest, Niu Bu wanted to resurrect from a new resurrection point, but when he thought that the Mo Dao he had just purchased was still in Yancheng, he could only resurrect in Yancheng.

"It's really uncomfortable that the game drops equipment when you die."

"I finally bought a Mo Dao, but I ended up dying and falling into Yancheng. Alas, I can't revive at the new resurrection point."

"Also, there are no backpacks in the game, so you have to carry everything yourself."

After getting the Mo Dao, Niu Bu checked his situation.

With the violent help of Qingyun Dan, 362 of the 91 acupoints in Niu Bu's body have been opened.

These include 24 acupoints on the Ren meridian and 29 acupoints on the Du meridian.

Compared with the required 362 acupoints, there is still a long way to go!

"Kill, kill, quickly kill your way out of a holographic game cabin and immerse yourself in the game."

"I will strive to advance to the Qi Family Realm in half a year!"

It took Niu Bu two and a half months to go from a layman to the level of self-cultivation.

As for going from the Self-cultivation Stage to the Family Harmony Stage, Niu Bu felt that half a year was fast enough.

You know, among the white-haired soldiers of Yancheng, who have fought for their entire lives, only a few have been promoted to the Qi family realm?
All in all, there were 142 white-haired soldiers, and only about ten of them were from the Qi family.

Holding a Mo Dao, Niu Bu, who had been promoted to the self-cultivation realm, felt that he was terribly powerful. He spent a large amount of Yancheng merit points to buy a horse and charged towards the Iltsk Oasis.

As for the black horse given to him by coach Li Yulun.
Niu Bu was reluctant to ride Wuzhui to the dungeon. In case he died and Wuzhui was exploded, he would have no place to cry.
