<Heaven's First Secret Art— Consuming Heaven technique>

<Rank: Divine>

<Mastery Level: 1>

<Description: Absorbs 5 Qi per second. Can only be activated when sitting in the lotus position, as the level of mastery increases the Qi absorption rate will also increase.>

___

Qi is the essence of this world and the purest form of energy, in contrast to mana, which is the lowest form of energy used by mortals in this world, according to the knowledge he had obtained through comprehending the words in the book.

No matter how hard they try, the mortals who utilize mana in this realm are unable to perceive Qi in the air. One needs to possess specific techniques, sometimes known as cultivation techniques, in order to perceive Qi in the air. One will be able to perceive Qi in the air and absorb it in his body using one of those procedures. No one can access Qi in this world without the proper techniques.

"Unbelievably fascinating and enigmatic..." Yuan murmured those words, then closed his eyes and sat in lotus position on his bed.

[Host! Before you begin, I advise against cultivating on your bed because you might perspire a lot!] Before he closed his eyes to cultivate, Nora warned him.

"Ummm" Yuan gets up from the bed and sits in the lotus position on the floor while nodding his head in agreement. Before activating the skill, he once more slowly closes his eyes to begin his cultivation.

[Ding]

<You have cultivated for the first time, unlocking Qi experience >

<5/1000>

<10/1000>

<15/1000>

<20/1000>

'Fascinating! So, this is how Qi is supposed to feel in reality!' Yuan thought as he looked at the Qi particles in the air: every second he cultivated in the lotus position, his Qi experience increased by 5. Furthermore, as he activated the Consuming Heaven technique, his breath naturally became calm and rhythmic, similar to someone doing "yoga." It was almost as if he had been breathing incorrectly his entire life and was now breathing correctly for the first time.

Yuan felt an explosion inside his body within almost 4 minutes, followed by a gentle cold sensation that spread throughout his entire body, making him more relaxed. It was as if he had been thrown into a cold pool of water on a hot, sunny day.

<You have successfully breakthrough your mortal shackles, becoming a Spirit Apprentice! >

<All stats +100>

'This is very easy; all I have to do is sit like this and cultivate... And being able to cultivate this in real life feels awesome, almost as if I am enjoying a nice warm bath.' Yuan pondered, recalling the delightful sensation he had experienced when cultivating.

"Nora! Show me my status!" Yuan said to Nora after that a transparent screen appeared in front of him, showing his details.

[Congratulations on becoming a cultivator, Host.] Nora said to him in his mind.

"It's all because of you; if you hadn't chosen me as your host, I wouldn't have had a second chance in life, and you also helped me recover my sick mother, so you have my sincere gratitude, Nora."

[What exactly are you saying? Stop thinking about it; you're destined to have me on your side!] Nora responded in a relaxed manner.

Yuan only smiled bitterly as he listened to Nora's response.

He then took the book from his bed and opened to the page he was reading. However, Yuan was able to understand everything on this page from beginning to end this time because the words were no longer gibberish, as they had been before, only to lose his comprehension later. It was as if he were reading a about a man and his journey towards becoming Transcendent; as the story progressed, it became more mysterious and profound.

Unbeknownst to him, he was sitting still, closing his eyes, and making an extremely calm expression, as if he were in a state of absolute calmness.

When Yuan opened his eyes again, he stand up from his seat. He then walks over to the window. For the first time since being reincarnated in this world, he looks out the window.

"It's already getting dark...?" He wondered how long he had been meditating for; To him, only a few minutes have passed.

[From what I know, Host, it seems that you are in a state of enlightenment!] Looking at the perplexed Yuan, Nora replied.

"Enlightenment?..this phrase I am quite familiar with; practically every cultivation mentioned what I just went through as a state of enlightenment," Yuan said, recalling all the cultivation s he had read on earth.

[That's right!] Nora nodded.

"Thinking back, I never imagined that I, Yuan, would one day experience the same enlightenment mentioned in those fantasy s in real life...The feeling is indeed extraordinary!" Yuan muttered.

[Would you mind telling me if you learned anything new during your enlightenment?] Nora inquired because she, like a real living person, was curious about the type of enlightenment Yuan received on his first day of cultivation.

"Ah, I see...Umm, It appears that I have progressed to the second stage of Heaven's Secret art and have acquired the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike." He said to Nora.

[Host, congratulations! That makes me very happy.] Nora congratulated him, as she was absolutely delighted with Yuan's achievement and she added, [However, Host, your cultivation level is insufficient to use this technique; you must be at least in the warrior realm to use this skill.]

Then, Yuan said, "all I have to do is strengthen my cultivation base, and I'll be able to employ it without a doubt." As long as he improves his cultivation, he will be able to use it without difficulty.

"Let's just stop here for the time being. Mom and Sis are probably worried about me right now. I should speak with them specifically Mom; I should also purchase a technique for Mom." Remembering that the pill effect would only last for today, he decided to have a serious conversation with his mother about her condition.

He immediately got up and headed straight for the living room from his bedroom. After arriving at the living room; He noticed his sister, Emma, and mother, Lily, were speaking happily and smiling faintly in the living room.

"Yuan, what have you been doing in your room for so long?" As soon as Lily saw Yuan arrive, she questioned.

Why does he seem to be different now? Am I simply dreaming? While she pondered, she felt perplexed by the current Yuan.

"No... It's nothing; I was doing something important there, so I was a little distracted!" He lied.

"Is that correct?" Lily exclaimed.

'Something must have happened inside his room; I will find out later!' Lily thought, knitting her brows as if she didn't believe him.

"Dear, Is there anything bothering you? You appear to have a lot going on in your head; it's unpleasant to look at!" Anna inquired, concerned by her son's troubled expression.

'Sigh! It appears that I am unable to conceal anything from them, particularly Mom! But I'm at a loss for how to begin this conversation... This is ridiculous!...' Yuan sighed inwardly as he looked at his mother's concerned expression.

Their facial expressions indicate that they didn't take him seriously. and at this, he could only sigh.

Then he sat down in front of them and addressed them, "Mom, Big Sis, and Emma, as you are an indispensable part of our small family, what I am about to tell you will revolutionize the way you view the world! You will have access to a new universe thanks to the information I'm about to provide you. And please remember that anything I am about to tell you should stay in this room; otherwise, if word gets out, we will be in danger!"

As they heard this, they all raised an eyebrow and turned to face him with a bewildered expression on their faces, wondering what he was going to say to them.

[Host! I advise starting this discussion somewhere else. You do realize that walls have ears? Just to be safe, Nora gave him a heads-up before he started speaking.

"You're right, Nora; thanks for the heads-up!" Yuan agreed. Given that this is a magical world, anything is possible at any time.

[You don't need to thank me; I'm your assistant!] Nora spoke, but she was content inside.

"Mom! We should go to your room first, and then we'll continue from there." Yuan said as he rose from the sofa and walked toward Anna's bedroom.

"All right, better safe than sorry! Let's go to my room, Lily and Emma!" As he rose from the sofa, his mother nodded to Yuan and said something to Emma and Lily. Emma and Lily stood up and trailed Yuan and Anna behind them.

After they entered Anne's room and properly closed the door so no one could hear their conversation with his family.

"Yuan! Don't keep us waiting; just tell us! You have piqued our interest, "Lily said, growing impatient to find out what Yuan was trying to say.

Anna and Emma nodded at Lily's words, curious to hear what he had to say.

"Alright! Let us begin with the pill I gave Mom earlier..." He couldn't finish his thought because Lily interrupted him in the middle of it.

"Since you brought it up, I have never seen or heard of this particular medication—not even in the old books at the Mage Academy. Where did you get such a miraculous medicine, Yuan? I forgot to ask earlier." Lily inquired about the history of the drug because she was looking for a way to treat Anna's illness in the historical medical records. Unfortunately, though, she had not found anything resembling this pill even in the ancient records from the God's era in the library of the mage academy. Afterwards, she abandoned her efforts to find her mother a cure.

But today, her younger brother gave his mother an unusual marble-sized medication. She was shocked when it actually worked. She was intrigued to learn more about the pill's history after witnessing its remarkable effect.

"Certainly, dear, I'd like to know where it came from as well. I've seen many different types of healing potions in my 45 years of life; some of them have a bitter or salty taste, but this was the first time I've consumed a medication that is solid at first and melts in the tongue. Tell us where you purchased this medication, please." As she detailed the special quality of the pill, Anna posed the question.

"Is such a medicine actually exist?" Emma inquired since she was curious after overhearing their chats.

"Certainly, Sister Emma. You should have been there with us when little Yuan gave mom the pill; you would have been surprised to witness the outcome.

"Sorry about that, Mom! But please don't ask where I got it because I can't say anything about it right now!" Yuan expressed his regret for not telling them the truth as he looked at them with an apologetic expression. He couldn't simply reveal that he is a reincarnated person with a system that assists him in his cultivation by providing knowledge and a variety of other benefits.

"It's all right. Don't worry, dear; everyone, including myself, has some secrets. I have some secrets that I don't tell anyone... So don't be concerned about it!" Anna explained that she was comforting him because she was his mother and knew exactly what he was thinking. Yuan replied with a nod of his head.

"Hey, Nora! Is there a suitable good cultivation method for mom?" He inquired because he wanted to teach his mother about cultivation so that she could fully recover her health without wasting any time.

[There is a Divine rank technique that is ideal for Anna, but it is slightly more expensive than other Divine rank techniques. Will you purchase it?] Nora inquired after testing the technique.

"How much SP is it, Nora?" When he heard Nora say the word "expansive," he raised his eyebrows slightly.

[Nothing significant—just 150 SP, Host!] Nora answered right away.
