Chapter 221: Cultivating Through Spirit Water

'What will be the criteria to get the Kill Points? Since I will be using all the intake Qi for my cultivation base.'

[Host doesn't need to worry about this. Even though you will be cultivating the qi, the System will also do its work]

'And that would be…?'

[Converting the accumulated Qi into Kill Points. These will then be used to increase your cultivation base and the System will also save enough for you to buy the painting later on.]

'Oh, that removes my worry then.'

Taking a deep breath, Ye Tian Yun sat down on the floor with his legs crossed.

Now, the Spirit Water was coming up to his shoulders!

Just his neck and head were above the surface.

However, Ye Tian Yun didn't mind this and began to cultivate.

This wasn't the first time Ye Tian Yun was cultivating in a SPirit Vein.

In his previous life, due to his background, it wasn't hard for him to have a few low to mid-tier Spirit Veins for himself.

In fact, he had even cultivated in high tier SPirit Veins - which were present in the sect that he was part of, in his previous life.

The method to cultivate in the spirit vein wasn't anything out of ordinary or complicated, in fact, it was the same as cultivating qi normally.

But this doesn't mean that the Spirit Water would sweep into the cultivator's meridians instead of qi, rather, the Spirit Water would release qi inside of their body and the qi would then accumulate in the cultivator's dantian - this would then later lead to a breakthrough in the cultivation level.

The most important thing to take note of in this scenario is the fact that the qi that enters the meridians from the Spirit Water is of the purest form, and also has high density - this, in turn, decreases the amount of qi required to cultivate to the next level and effectively increases the cultivation speed.

The purity of the qi is the reason that makes the cultivator fight to the death for a chance to cultivate in such an environment.

There have been instances in the past where some cultivators received so much benefit that they were able to reach the realms within a few months which would have generally taken them years, if not decades of hard cultivation.

Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh as he thought of such rare cases. He wasn't delusional enough to think that something like this could happen to him too, and he would touch the sky in one step.

Even if he had loads of luck, he was sure that they were now used up in helping him find this high-tier Spirit Vein.

Thus, he was going to cultivate, and expect an okayish result - at most breakthroughs to the next cultivation level.

He had just broken through the new level before heading to the Heavenly League's Banquet, thus he was expecting the next through after about six months, once he finished everything here and moved on to his next target.

However, God of Luck blessed him once again and presented him an opportunity to go higher even more - allowing him to solidify his strength even more and increase the chances for his success exponentially.

And thus, Ye Tian Yun began to focus on his cultivation.

Calming his mind, stabilizing his breaths, he focused solely on his qi flow - thus allowing the qi to enter his body.

'Well, now I will get to experience the feeling that I have been waiting for.'

As soon as these words flashed in Ye Tian Yun's mind, a tingling feeling swept through his body!

Ye Tian Yun felt like he was struck by a thousand needles, all over his body, as the Spirit Water continued to turn into qi, which then seeped even more.

The feeling wasn't painful, rather it was more of a tingling feeling, the type that one would just want to feel more.

Ye Tian Yun wasn't a masochist, but he did like this feeling.

He could feel the qi enter and move through his meridians, and slowly it would disappear into his dantian.

It wasn't that Ye Tian Yun was the only one in the whole world who liked this, in fact, any cultivator would like it.

This feeling could be compared to what one feels after being thirsty for a long time and then drinking cold water.

They could feel the water sweep through their throat and slowly go down in the stomach.

It was indeed a feeling liked by any living being.

A few minutes after Ye Tian Yun had begun his cultivation, he received the notification that he hadn't seen for a long time.

[Consumed Spirit Water. Received 2 Kill Points.]

[Consumed Spirit Water. Received 3 Kill Points.]

[Consumed Spirit Water. Received 2 Kill Points.]

[Consumed Spirit Water. Received 1 Kill Points.]

.

.

...

Ye Tian Yun continued to receive the system prompts, however, his excited expression didn't last for long - Ye Tian Yun suddenly noticed a problem.

If he remembered correctly, he needed about 20,000 Kill Points to get to the next Cultivation Level, and to buy the painting, Ye Tian Yun needed about 350,000.

However, what Ye Tian Yun currently was receiving was far from enough.

With just 1-2 Kill Points per second, it would be hard for him to increase his cultivation while also saving enough Kill Points to buy the painting.

Not to forget that his time here wasn't unlimited, but only for about a month. And even then he had already spent two and half days of his total time given to him to cultivate in the Sword Stele.

Thus, Ye Tian Yun needed to find a way to increase the speed of Spirit Water to Qi conversion.

'System, is there any way to increase this conversion? I don't think there will be much time for me to get enough Kill Points, considering what you told me about how the Kill Points awarded would slowly decrease.'

'Doesn't that mean after a few days, I won't even get any kill points?'
