Chapter 5

After reaching level 3, the spell had truly become lethal, distinguishing ordinary people from those who had truly stepped into the world of cultivation. Both in terms of difficulty and power, it was far beyond what level 2 could offer.

However, Su Xian felt that he could perfectly control every secret of this spell. After all, he had just witnessed its birth and development...

It was as if he had created the spell himself.

He could wield it with ease, down to the finest detail.

"Thunder Flame!!!"

With a low cry, the originally circulating spiritual energy in the room suddenly became chaotic. Fire and lightning spiritual energy began to merge wildly, fiercely repelling other types of spiritual energy...

A drop of sweat slowly dripped from Su Xian's forehead.

He had been too careless.

After all, he was just an ordinary person who had suddenly obtained great power and couldn't resist wanting to release it to see how different he was. However, he hadn't expected that... knowing was one thing, but even though he theoretically understood all the secrets and subtleties, he had never practiced it even once.

For the Thunder Flame spell, he was like a super genius who had received years of education and read the highest degree, but because it was only theoretical, he lacked practical ability?

Moreover, his strength...

was at the initial stage of Condensation.

It was far from enough to support the consumption of a level 4 spell, no wonder Daoist Yuan Tian had reduced the consumption of Thunder Flame...

The chaotic spiritual energy began to collide violently, then quickly dissipated into nothingness... the spell failed, and it should have backfired, but Su Xian managed to stop the spell without injury by controlling the Thunder Flame spell!

Even so, Su Xian was almost exhausted, his internal spiritual energy having been completely drained in that instant.

"So, it's like this."

Although the short trial failed, it allowed Su Xian to understand the function of the system.

It could let him understand the birth and development of any skill... and make him as familiar with it as if he had practiced for thousands of years...

It was somewhat expected, yet somewhat unexpected.

"System, is your function to help me subscribe to the books I collect?"

【Theoretically, it goes far beyond that, but due to your insufficient VIP level, only book subscription and other basic functions are currently available!】

Su Xian's eyes lit up, then he silently regretted his initial VIP status, and asked, "How do I put a skill on the bookshelf to become a book?"

【Learn and successfully release the skill, or actively consume the corresponding Qidian coins to place it...】

"How do I earn Qidian coins?"

Su Xian looked at his remaining four thousand plus Qidian coins and silently mourned the nearly ten thousand yuan in his bank account. If he had known, he would have recharged all his savings. Now, over ten thousand yuan, converted to Qidian coins, would be over a million...

So, not recharging to read the original version was really asking for trouble.

So many Qidian coins, just silently turned to ashes with the destruction of the world?

【The most basic daily check-in, completing all check-ins can earn 120 Qidian coins, increasing your activity can also earn corresponding Qidian coins.】

"Is... is that it?"

A strange thought appeared on Su Xian's face, and he muttered, "I thought I would have to complete various challenges to earn Qidian coins, and what's with this strong sense of déjà vu?"

He asked again, "How do I upgrade to a higher VIP level?"

【After accumulating a consumption of 100,000 Qidian coins, you can become a mid-level VIP and unlock new permissions. After accumulating a consumption of 1,000,000 Qidian coins, you can become a high-level VIP and gain higher permissions. Due to your current insufficient permissions, you cannot inquire about the specific permissions unlocked!】

"Is... is that so?"

Su Xian looked at his four thousand plus Qidian coins and sighed, "It seems the road ahead is long and arduous."

But he had originally planned to save his Qidian coins, but now it seemed he should spend them...

He saw that his consumption amount had already increased by 300 Qidian coins.

A daily check-in can give 120 Qidian coins?

The system didn't explain the activity points, so he would have to figure it out himself...

But if you calculate it this way, subscribing to a low-level spell would only take three days of accumulation?

Knowing that the cost wasn't too high, or that there was a source to replenish Qidian coins, Su Xian felt relieved.

"So, what to subscribe to next, there's no need to be confused."

Su Xian sat down cross-legged.

He began to cultivate the Guiyuan Technique taught by Chao Yang High School!

He was very clear that, whether it was Thunder Flame or any other skill, before the great cultivation era, there definitely weren't so many weak spells that would make people despair. So, these spells were likely weakened and castrated. Exchanging any of them wouldn't be a loss for him.

But if these skills increased his attack power, what was truly most important to him should be the strength of his true essence, or... his realm!

Guiyuan Technique!

The cultivation method practiced by ordinary students, stable and balanced... without any attributes, or rather, encompassing all attributes.

With all the memories of his previous life, Su Xian naturally knew that if he wanted to cultivate, attack methods were secondary, a good cultivation method was the most important... yes, he was a supporter of the legendary Qi Sect.

As the cultivation method circulated within his body,

He could clearly feel the spiritual energy between heaven and earth gradually flowing into his body, steadily and smoothly... and the spiritual energy in the room would quickly be replenished by the outside.

No wonder Su Tao accepted the property here; the entire area was covered by a spirit-gathering array, keeping the spiritual energy in a saturated state. If he had to wait for the spiritual energy to replenish itself, his low realm might run out of spiritual energy by midnight, let alone with two of them here?

Thinking about it, Su Xian finally understood his current realm.

Initial stage of Condensation.

According to the planet where age was determined by cultivation level, he was only a student in the initial class, roughly equivalent to a first-year high school student... or even a junior to his sister.

Of course, cultivation was different from studying, and age couldn't determine everything. In Su Xian's class, there were over a dozen classmates who were nearly thirty years old.

Unfortunately, if they couldn't reach the Heart Movement stage before the age of thirty, they would have to drop out and enter ordinary jobs, becoming civil servants who would never go hungry but wouldn't get rich either.

Hmm?

So, the worst-case scenario is still being a civil servant?

Su Xian suddenly felt that this world was actually quite beautiful...

Or rather, it was incredibly lenient to them, these pre-cultivators.

"But after seeing the vast world, to confine oneself like a frog in a well, possibly never even leaving this planet... that would be the greatest torment, wouldn't it?"

Su Xian muttered to himself, thinking that the world was so big, and he still wanted to see it.

He opened his bookshelf...

Sure enough, there was one more book... *Guiyuan Technique*!

He chose to subscribe.

【Unranked cultivation method *Guiyuan Technique*, full subscription requires 4000 Qidian coins. Do you want to subscribe?】

"Damn!!!"

Su Xian angrily cursed.
