Wuhun: Desert Death on the left hand, the world on the right hand

The children's breath gradually became longer, and the originally turbid Dantian gradually became clear, with weak energy flowing through the meridians. After an unknown amount of time, the children opened their eyes one after another, with excitement flashing in their eyes.

"Congratulations, you have all broken through to the first level of Qi Refining." Bai Zhaoyun announced with a smile. The children cheered immediately. They could feel the power hidden in their bodies, which was completely different from before!

After being baptized by the spiritual energy, not only did their cultivation level break through, but their spirit and energy were also completely renewed. Their originally sallow complexions became rosy, and their frail bodies were full of vitality.

Bai Zhaoyun watched the group of children jumping up and down excitedly, and waited until they finally calmed down before he slowly spoke:

"Listen carefully, I will tell you everything next. Remember every word of it."

"What I taught you is the most basic first-level rune. The exercises composed of first-level runes can only be practiced to the peak of Qi Refining at most." He paused, "Above Qi Refining, there are five major realms: Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spiritual Transformation, and Tribulation Transcendence."

Amu squeezed to the front, looked up and asked, "Big brother, what is the highest level of the rune?"

"Nine levels. Level one is the lowest and level nine is the highest."

Bai Zhaoyun looked at Amu with satisfaction. This child is smart and clever. The more he looks at him, the more he likes him.

"Any question?"

"Then how can we break through to the foundation-building stage and the golden elixir stage?" another child asked impatiently.

Bai Zhaoyun nodded, "This is the second thing I want to tell you."

"If you want to build your foundation, you must first upgrade your level one runes to level two, and also transform the mana in your dantian from gaseous to liquid."

"The Golden Core Realm requires a third-level rune, and the liquid mana must be compressed into a pill." He concluded, "As for Nascent Soul, Spiritualization, and Tribulation, it's too early to think about it now."

Amu's eyes flashed with hatred, his hands clenched into fists, his nails almost digging into his flesh. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Big brother, what realm are those damn evil soul masters in?"

After a moment of silence, a cold murderous intent spread from his young body, making people shudder. "What level do we need to cultivate to be able to kill them with our own hands!"

"Those evil soul masters are all Soul Saints above level 70. Do you want to rival the strength of a Soul Saint?" Bai Zhaoyun paused here, as if considering something. "You need to reach the Foundation Establishment stage before you can fight them."

"What? Just building the foundation can rival a level 70 Soul Saint?" Amu looked at Bai Zhaoyun in disbelief, as if he had heard something incredible.

"What? What do you think cultivating immortals is? The method of cultivating immortals that I passed on to you is an unrivaled path leading to eternal life!" Bai Zhaoyun's tone was full of pride.

Amu was so excited that he was incoherent, "But...but..."

Bai Zhaoyun saw Amu's confusion and waved his hand, signaling him to be patient.

"Today I will introduce you to cultivation. Before that, let me ask you, at what level of cultivation can a martial soul fly freely in the sky? How long can one live after cultivating to the Titled Douluo level? Amu, you are the oldest among this group of children, you should know more, you tell me."

"Big brother, according to common sense in Douluo Continent, only those who have reached the Titled Douluo realm can fly. Of course, if the martial spirit has a beast martial spirit with the ability to fly, it can also display the martial spirit true body at level 70 and fly for a short time."

"Yeah, good, keep going."

"As for the life span of a Titled Douluo, it is at most 50 years longer than that of an ordinary person. The longest-lived Titled Douluo on Douluo Continent only lived to 150 years old. As for whether it is true or not, I don't know. These are all things I accidentally heard when I was listening to the conversations of the soul masters who came to help us awaken our spirits."

"Yes, cultivating a martial spirit to the extreme will only allow you to live a few years longer than an ordinary person, at most 150 years." Bai Zhaoyun said calmly, but with a hint of helplessness, "And if you cultivate to the middle stage of Qi Refining, you can fly freely with the help of a flying magic weapon."

"What?!" Ah Mu's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "You mean, when we are in the middle stage of Qi Refining, we can fly and hide like a Titled Douluo?"

"Well, you can indeed fly in the middle stage of Qi Refining, but it relies more on the power of magic tools." Bai Zhaoyun explained patiently, "When you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, your lifespan will be around 70 years. As for your strength, you can probably compete with a level Soul Saint. If you can form a golden elixir, your lifespan will be even longer. years will not be a problem, and your strength will be comparable to that of a level Ultimate Douluo."

"Eight, eight hundred years?!" When the other children heard this, they couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Big brother, is everything you said true?" There was a gleam of hope in Amu's eyes. He stared at Bai Zhaoyun closely, as if he wanted to get a positive answer from him.

"Of course it's true, but don't think that it's easy to reach the Golden Core Stage. You may not even be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage. Only one or two out of 1000 people can successfully break through from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage. And only a handful of people out of cultivators can successfully break through from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Stage. How many people have practiced for hundreds of years without breaking through to the Golden Core Stage."

"what?"

"That's it"

After hearing this, the children’s originally excited faces were instantly filled with disappointment, and they all looked like eggplants hit by frost, with their heads drooped.

Bai Zhaoyun looked at this group of kids and felt both angry and amused. They were such clever little kids!

Only Amu's eyes were still shining with excitement, and his fists were clenched tightly, as if to encourage himself: "I can do it, 800 years of life!"

Looking at the children, Bai Zhaoyun seemed to see himself back then, the first time he sneaked a peek at a novel, the first time he witnessed the magic of cultivating immortals, the first time he understood that people could live for 800 years. That kind of shock and yearning was so similar to the children in front of him.

"However, the technique I teach you is somewhat different from the traditional method of cultivating immortals. Like me, you use runes to replace the meridians. The biggest advantage of runes is that they can refine spiritual energy all day long without interruption, and it won't interfere with your other activities."

Bai Zhaoyun paused and continued, "That is to say, others have to eat and sleep while they are refining their Qi and building their foundation, and they can only practice for a dozen hours a day at most, but you are practicing 24 hours a day, and there are no side effects. Therefore, you can at least build your foundation in the future and live for years!"

"Really? That's great!"

Hearing this, the children cheered again, and their original loss was swept away.
