Chapter 173: Over-the-Top Cultivation Environment (Requesting Monthly Vote)
After touring the villa, Lin Qi felt it was no different from his previous new home.
It wasn’t until he entered the Martial Arts Training Hall that things changed. The entrance was a thick silver metal door equipped with an electronic screen.
Only the owner’s password, fingerprint, and iris scan could grant access.
“Beep!”
“Clack!”
The iron door opened, and Lin Qi stepped inside. A gust of cool air rushed toward him from vents in every corner.
The training hall was surprisingly vast—over five hundred square meters. Lin Qi suddenly realized this space might allow more accurate speed testing.
In one corner stood a row of large wardrobes: sleek black metal cabinets for storing martial arts uniforms and cultivation resources.
Nearby, various training equipment lined the walls:
A Punch Force Analyzer, Speed Tester, Punch Target, Recovery Pod—and a Vital Energy Analyzer?
Lin Qi approached and confirmed it: a Vital Energy Analyzer indeed.
“We only started using Vital Energy Analyzers at Second High School last year. Has Azure Firmament Martial Academy already adopted them?”
He turned to a corner and spotted a massive white machine.
“This is… a Neural Pod?”
Lin Qi hurried over, running his hand along the machine in disbelief. “A Neural Pod installed in a private villa? Are they saying every villa has one?”
“Such extravagant spending…”
He inhaled deeply to calm himself, stunned by the school’s financial might.
In the center stood a colossal black metal crate—his belongings shipped in advance from Tianhai City. Opening it, he found clothes, martial arts uniforms, cultivation supplies, and his weapon: the Thunderhorn Longspear.
In another corner sat a metal box containing combat gear from the Survival Training Camp, now returned to him.
Quickly organizing his items, he hung two longspears on the wall. Gazing at them, he mused, “I might need to buy a new one soon.”
“Gurgle~”
A sudden pang of hunger interrupted his thoughts.
“Time for lunch!”
“Master, your friend Jiang Tao is at the door,” Xiaochan chimed in suddenly.
30 seconds later…
“Click!”
The door swung open as Jiang Tao strode in wearing a white tracksuit, carrying two silver metal boxes.
“Brother Qi, lunch! I knew you hadn’t eaten yet.”
“These are carefully selected meals from the cafeteria.”
Jiang Tao entered the living room, placing the boxes on the table and unveiling white lunch containers—each holding a different dish.
Lin Qi sat across from him, picking a nutritionally balanced meal with green pepper stir-fried meat.
“Brother Qi, I just visited the cafeteria. Turns out the options are mind-blowing,” Jiang Tao said, lifting a piece of meat with chopsticks.
“Nutritional meals have tiers too. The higher the grade, the rarer the ingredients.”
“At Second High School, we ate Level 1 meals made with first-tier Disaster Beast meat, containing trace Primordial Energy. In the Survival Training Camp and Crimson Vault Martial Arts Pavilion, employees get Level 2 meals with second-tier Calamity Beast meat, richer in Primordial Energy.”
“The meal’s tier depends on the beast meat used.”
Lin Qi nodded. That explained their superior nutrition.
“Highest tier is Level 6,” Jiang Tao added.
“Why not higher?” Lin Qi asked.
“For seventh-tier beasts onward, their flesh becomes too valuable. Once hunted, their bodies are fully processed into cultivation resources to maximize benefits.”
Lin Qi agreed—makes sense.
“Prices vary. Level 1 is cheapest—100 yuan per meal, same as back at Second High School. Level 2, suitable for Second Realm Martial Artists, costs 500 yuan. Half these ten meals will fill you up, right? That’s 2,500 yuan for a 70% full stomach.”
“Level 3?” Lin Qi asked.
Jiang Tao swallowed. “Third-tier meals target Third-Circle Martial Artists, but we’d benefit too. 5,000 yuan per serving.”
Lin Qi calculated: Level 3’s tenfold price likely meant tenfold Primordial Energy. With over twenty million Xia Kingdom Currency in his pocket, he could afford it easily.
He resumed eating as Jiang Tao rambled on.
“Brother Qi, my villa even has a Vital Energy Analyzer and a private Neural Pod!”
“This is just the start. Who knows what other resources await? I might graduate as a Mid-Realm Martial Artist!”
“A sixth-circle at least?” Lin Qi teased.
Half an hour later, Jiang Tao left full. A cylindrical robot cleared the remaining containers.
Lin Qi returned to the underground training hall.
Exhaling slowly, he changed into his black martial arts uniform, feeling warmth in his stomach as five meals digested. Sitting cross-legged, he assumed the Five Hearts to Sky Posture.
“Time to test Azure Firmament University’s Primordial Energy density.”
Closing his eyes, he steadied his breath, sensing the air around him.
Instantly, countless glowing specks—like stars—materialized in the hall. More poured in as if flowing through an invisible channel.
“Roar~”
A Golden Vajra Tiger materialized in his mind, roaring to the heavens, devouring Primordial Energy in a storm.
Lin Qi felt like opening all water taps at full blast.
Primordial Energy surged into his body through pores, icy waves spreading into muscles, bones, and sinews. His cells activated, consuming energy to evolve. His deepest genetic code optimized.
【Your body absorbed massive Primordial Energy. Muscles refined. Vital Energy Stat +0.1】
【Absorbed Primordial Energy. Vital Energy Stat +0.1】
【… Vital Energy Stat +0.1】
【Vital Energy Stat +0.1】
Lin Qi reveled in the transformation, losing track of two hours.
“Haa~”
When his body felt satiated, his eyes snapped open, releasing golden light. A mighty aura erupted outward like tidal waves.
Rising, he checked his vision interface:
【Successful training session. Template Fusion Rate +0.1%】
【Vital Energy Stat: 30.56 → 31.56】
【Template: Erlang Shen Yang Jian】
【Fusion Rate: 14.7% → 14.8%】
