Chapter 298: The Perfect Cultivation Environment (Requesting Monthly Vote)
Yu Zhuoran spoke up at this point:
“We’re here to cultivate and grow stronger, not to indulge in luxury. Our accommodations don’t need to be extravagant.”
Pei Jiu nodded in agreement: “Yu Zhuoran is right.”
I Wei smiled: “Don’t worry. Though the houses are small, the Primordial Energy concentration inside is incredibly dense. It’s even denser than in the Azure Firmament Martial Academy.”
At these words, Lin Qi’s eyes lit up.
A Primordial Energy concentration higher than the Ten Institute’s? That would be at least double what his villa back at the academy had!
“The information packet has already been sent to everyone. The user manual has also been transferred to the AI assistant. Feel free to ask if you need clarification.”
Dean Liu added at this point:
“Once you enter your villa, spend two days adapting to it. On the third day, begin cultivating inside.”
I Wei started assigning the villas.
Two minutes later, in front of a white-and-blue villa.
“Lin Qi, this E86 villa will be your residence for the month…”
I Wei gestured enthusiastically toward the building as he explained.
Dean Liu added: “Lin Qi, you can contact either Master I or me for anything.”
“Understood!”
Lin Qi nodded. After the two left, he turned and stepped into the villa.
The first floor contained the living room and bedroom, which was half the size of his apartment at Azure Firmament Martial Academy.
The second floor housed the Martial Arts Training Hall, while the third floor was a balcony.
After a quick tour, Lin Qi entered the training hall. It was fully equipped with various training devices, even including a Neural Pod.
He unpacked his belongings, retrieving the resources and his Martial Arts Robe.
After changing into the robe, he sat cross-legged and began sensing the Primordial Energy particles around him.
In his perception, countless specks of light filled the air like sand in a desert, densely packed to an astonishing degree.
Lin Qi was shaken. This was the Primordial Energy concentration in Otherworld? At least three times denser than his villa back at the academy!
Soon, a wave of hunger surged through him.
“Already hungry this quickly?”
He glanced at the time on his phone—only 11 a.m.
He felt the heaviness in his body. He hadn’t even begun cultivating—just walking and riding here had drained massive amounts of energy.
“If the environment maintains triple gravity for 24 hours a day, the energy consumption would be immense. But it would also rapidly accelerate physical transformation.”
Triple Primordial Energy concentration with constant triple gravity. Cultivating his Spear Techniques in such conditions would lead to breakthroughs.
Lin Qi’s mind raced. If he trained here for a month, both his Vital Energy Stat and martial arts skills would skyrocket.
“Xiaochan, order food!”
“Understood, master!”
A blue-clad Xiaochan hologram materialized, projecting the menu.
Lin Qi skimmed it. The prices for Nutritional Meals hadn’t changed.
He ordered two servings of Level 4 Nutritional Meals.
Ten minutes later, the food arrived. After eating, the hunger vanished, and he immediately resumed cultivation.
“Huuuh~”
A breeze materialized from thin air, gradually intensifying into violent winds swirling around Lin Qi’s body.
Within his Consciousness Realm, the towering Golden Vajra Tiger began devouring the surrounding Primordial Energy like a storm.
The energy surged into his pores like cascading waterfalls, flooding through his body with a frigid, invigorating chill that made him shiver.
His cells erupted in frenzied activity, devouring the Primordial Energy particles as though celebrating.
Cellular absorption triggered division, transforming his muscles, tendons, skin membranes, bones, and internal organs.
His genetic code optimized itself, with special focus on his bones undergoing refinement.
His strength grew by the second. Lin Qi felt exhilarated, absorbing Primordial Energy as if his body were an endless abyss.
This sensation of growing stronger was intoxicating—more addictive than any game or entertainment.
Time ticked away.
Two hours later, he sensed his body no longer absorbing or converting Primordial Energy. A feeling of fullness signaled the end of cultivation.
“Huuuh~”
His eyes snapped open, golden light flashing as a fierce, overbearing aura erupted from him, sending waves of wind outward like a tidal surge.
“Creak! Creak!”
Lin Qi clenched his fist, bones cracking as a continuous surge of power erupted through his limbs. His body activated, Vital Energy surging.
[You have entered Otherworld. Training under triple gravity with high-density Primordial Energy has dramatically increased cultivation efficiency. Vital Energy Stat +5]
[Vital Energy Stat: 134→139]
Staring at the golden status panel as his Vital Energy Stat jumped five points, Lin Qi broke into a delighted grin.
“The effect is even stronger than I imagined! Today’s training alone surpasses consuming a Bone Tempering Elixir!”
He felt immense joy—just one day of training here, and already such a significant improvement. If he trained for a whole month, both his Vital Energy Stat and martial arts skills would undergo a complete transformation.
…
That evening, in another villa.
A hulking bald man entered the spacious living room.
Xiang Long, his rugged features brimming with surprise, said:
“Master, I didn’t expect you to return so soon!”
Leaning casually on the sofa, the bald man grinned:
“This time, I left seeking opportunities and returned after breaking through to the 8th Stage.
“Hearing you came to Otherworld to cultivate a Mid-Tier Primordial Energy Martial Art, I decided to check on you.”
Xiang Long chuckled: “Congratulations, Master, for successfully advancing to the 8th Stage!”
“I’ve been refining the Platinum Demon Tiger Evolution Method. Once I complete this stage, my strength will surge dramatically.
“In the future, I’ll forge my Demon Tiger Bone.”
The bald man laughed: “As my disciple, you’ll naturally succeed.”
Then his tone shifted suddenly:
“I heard a certain Lin Qi followed you here.
“His master, Mu Hong, is an old acquaintance of mine.
“Didn’t expect him to get lucky and take in such a gifted disciple.”
“But that brat will never surpass my disciple.”
Xiang Long grinned confidently: “He hasn’t even awakened his potential. How could he match me?”
…
Later that night, in E87 Villa—
Wan Ming’s residence. The spacious living room held five people around a dinner table piled high with food.
“I must say, the Primordial Energy concentration here in Otherworld is truly impressive!”
“I trained for two hours, and it felt like two days’ worth of progress back at school!”
After swallowing a mouthful, Wan Ming spoke.
“I also felt significant improvement!” Han Zhen nodded.
“Triple gravity drains massive energy from our bodies,” Xia Lian added. “But training afterward boosts efficiency dramatically.”
Pei Jiu sipped soup:
“In Otherworld, every inch of War Base territory is invaluable.
“Accommodation here isn’t free.
“Ordinary martial artists who want to cultivate here must rent. The apartments are less than 20 square meters, yet cost 3,000 yuan per day!”
Lin Qi’s heart tightened. 3,000 yuan per night? That was more expensive than a five-star hotel!
Though he wasn’t short on funds anymore, that price still felt exorbitant.
“That 3,000-yuan rate is actually reasonable,” Wan Ming said, taking a sip of cola. “In Otherworld, even without doing anything, simply absorbing Primordial Energy yields progress.
“But this is the cheapest option. Our villa accommodations are astronomically priced—over ten million Xia Kingdom’s currency for a month!”
Lin Qi calculated silently. Ten million monthly meant 120 million annually.
Yet he still considered it a bargain. The progress gained in a single month here surpassed the cost of a dozen Bone Tempering Elixirs.
Wan Ming continued:
“There are even better villas with higher Primordial Energy concentrations, but those are reserved for high-stage martial artists. Their prices multiply by several times.
“No matter how wealthy one is, it still hurts to pay. That’s why most people rent by the month.
“We Azure Firmament Martial Academy students have an advantage—the academy grants each of us a month of free accommodation here.
“So we can stay free for a month, but after that, we’ll need to pay.”
Lin Qi nodded. Their cultivation trip to Otherworld lasted about a month. After that, they’d return to school.
He resolved to make the most of this month, pushing his strength to new heights.
…
Time passed quickly, arriving at the next day.
In the morning, Lin Qi awoke with intense hunger.
All night, even without moving, his body had fought against triple gravity, draining massive energy.
He thought of ordinary people in Otherworld—even those at the First Realm received dormitories.
Staying long enough under these conditions—triple gravity, dense Primordial Energy—made breaking through to the Second or even Third Realm seem inevitable. This was the power of environment.
He didn’t go out, staying in the Martial Arts Training Hall all day. His potential seemed awakened, with both Vital Energy Stat and martial arts improving steadily.
By evening, he received a notification from Dean Liu.
19:00 that night.
Inside a luxurious villa’s living room, its blue-and-white decor evoked a beachside ambiance.
Dozens of people sat on the spacious sofas, including Wan Ming and several others.
“Lin Qi!”
As he entered, Wan Ming and the others greeted him.
Lin Qi’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he spotted a familiar figure.
The black-robed, tall silhouette. That sharp, commanding aura. That overflowing vitality.
The figure turned:
“Lin Qi.”
“Master!”
Lin Qi’s face lit with joy as he hurried over.
Dean Liu handed him a Smart Seat.
“Master, how did you get here?”
“Did you… breakthrough?”
Lin Qi sensed his master’s overwhelming presence—Mu Hong had grown far stronger than before.
Mu Hong smiled and nodded.
Lin Qi’s heart swelled with delight. From now on, his master was an 8th Stage Martial Artist.
In Xia Kingdom, aside from the publicly known 9th Stage martial artists, the 8th Stage was the strongest tier.
Wherever he went, he’d be a figure of immense power—worthy of leading any city’s Martial Arts Pavilion.
This brought Lin Qi an unparalleled sense of security.
