Chapter 119: The Hellish Technique
119- The Hellish Technique
It took me more than a day to reach the Beginning stage, although the time taken is not long but it is definitely not short.
Is this what Bertha meant when she said- You can start cultivation but the speed will be slower.
If my guess is right then, my cultivation speed should have slower but due to the system, I am able to cultivate at a quick pace.
It's like there is a balance established as the system and poison effects on cultivation speed are canceling out each other.
Now, that I have produced and gathered Qi to the limit, I can start practicing the 1st level of the 8 Levels of Qi Reforging Technique.
After readying myself, I started practicing 1 level and braced myself for the pain that I am about to experience.
After few minutes, a small burning sensation was starting to build up in the area where the Qi was stored and simultaneously the system notification rang,
ding
Current progress of 1st level of Qi Reforging Technique has reached 0.3%.
The [Qi] quality is improving.
ding
Current progress of 1st level of Qi Reforging Technique has reached 0.4%.
The [Qi] quality is improving.
.
The burning sensation kept on increasing but it was still within bearable range until the progress reached 8% but after that, it was getting difficult for me to bear the pain that I was experiencing.
But I still gritted my teeth and continued practicing, gradually the burning kept on increasing finally I was unable to bear anymore and I almost screamed out but I stuffed my mouth with a cloth to prevent my agonizing screams from being heard and making others alert.
I continued practicing the technique and muffled sounds echoed continuously in my room.
.
I dont know how many hours have passed as I have completely lost the track of time.
Finally, the system notification rang,
ding
Current progress of 1st level of Qi Reforging Technique has reached 100%.
Congratulations, the host has successfully practiced the [1st level of Qi Reforging Technique]
The [Qi] quality has improved by 100%.
The amount of [Qi] has increased from 143 to 302.
With that, I collapsed on the ground.
I took out the cloth from my mouth and started breathing heavily.
Should I even continue practicing this technique?
I questioned inwardly.
Just the changes brought by the 1st level of Qi Reforging Technique is almost comparable to the Tiger Qi forging technique that I have previously practiced. So, it means after I practice the [8 Levels of Qi Reforging Technique] to perfection there will be a huge change but I dont know if am able to even bear the pain that I will experience from the 2nd level of the technique. And after experiencing the pain from the 1st level of Qi Reforging Technique I can only conclude that- hell is what waiting for me.
I dont know if it is due to exhaustion or pain, I felt sleepy and my eyelids felt heavier, and gradually I went to sleep.
.
I woke up in the afternoon and it seems that I have been in the room for the whole 4 days.
So, I dont know how long was I sleeping or how long did I take to cultivate the 1st level of Qi Reforging Technique.
I quickly opened the status window,
