Exploring Immortality Cultivation

Su Junyu arrived a bit late. Before arriving at the Immortal Institute, he had dinner with some fellow disciples from Wanfa Sect, which was why he only got there at night.

After pushing the door open into his room, he saw Xiang Qi inside. Su Junyu immediately stepped back emotionlessly and checked the door lock.

"It’s indeed broken. I thought I missed something when I was pushing the door open just now—I forgot to unlock it before entering—what were you planning, do you realize that’s against the law!"

Faced with Su Junyu’s tirade, Xiang Qi smiled amiably and replied, "We’re like brothers, no need for formalities."

"Ghosts! My surname is Su and yours is Xiang; we’re not family at all."

"You should be used to it by now—back when we were at Leiyang Immortal Institute, I never knocked on your door either."

Su Junyu held his forehead, "No wonder I skipped unlocking and just pushed the door—you’ve conditioned my Primordial Root Thought to ignore the locks if we’re living in the same area."

"That’s correct."

Su Junyu threw a box of pastries over, "Here, a local specialty, Hangzhou almond cake."

Xiang Qi neatly put away the pastries and also reached for his storage bag, "Thoughtful. Your hometown sweets beat anything..."

"Don’t make it sound like my hometown only produces pastries." Su Junyu stated righteously, "I also won’t accept any candies produced by the Alchemy Room of Burning Gold Valley."

Xiang Qi looked uninterested, "Tch."

"That stuff—you never know what the next piece is going to taste like." Su Junyu spoke while enduring annoyance, "To this day, I don’t understand how you guys align the sugar molecules into those bizarre flavors."

"’The next piece’s flavor is full of imagination’—that’s the fun of that kind of treat! Our Burning Gold Valley enjoys this every year."

"That’s why I am so grateful I joined Wanfa Sect back then—and what’s the deal with this guy?" Su Junyu pointed at Wang Qi, "Did you feed him the local specialty of Burning Gold Valley?"

Wang Qi looked far from spirited at the moment. He held a book in his hands, read for a while, then closed his eyes for a few minutes before reading again.

"He is pondering his Breakthrough." Xiang Qi explained his junior brother’s condition and the unnoticed Breakthrough aspect.

After listening, Su Junyu frowned and immediately became serious. He walked up to Wang Qi and snatched the book "Transformation Theory" from his hands, "What are you puzzled about?"

"I’m trying to feel the breakthrough sensation," Wang Qi said. "I want to understand the mental method and Mana more deeply, but during the Breakthrough, I was confused and failed to truly sense the changes in my body."

Su Junyu shook his head gently, "Qi follows the spirit, and the spirit follows the intent. This time, your Breakthrough relied on ’True Intent of the heart’ that sparked the activation and movement of your Soul, thus advancing the operation of your Mana to the Mid-Stage Qi Refining. You already know the principle."

"The power of knowing the result without knowing the reason doesn’t feel satisfying," Wang Qi grimaced. As a modern person from Earth, he wouldn’t mind a "Technology Black Box", but as a researcher, he couldn’t tolerate too many unknowns in his field of study.

"Pondering like this won’t help," Su Junyu shook his head, "While writing papers, you delve completely into calculations, but your thoughts relate to the core essence of your Cultivation Technique, achieving the union of Qi and spirit, spirit and intent unconsciously. If you try to think about calculations and the mental method at the same time, it’s more difficult to reach such a state."

Xiang Qi said helplessly, "You think I don’t know these principles? But he always wants to give it a try."

"I want to design a Magic Foundation most suited to myself, preferably within this half-year, while I can consult experts from multiple fields," Wang Qi said. "So I’m keen on quickly grasping the nature of the Cultivation Technique."

Su Junyu was stunned. Designing his own Magic Foundation? Did this guy not know that most Magic Foundations are designed by Grandmaster-level figures? How could he be so confident?

"Aren’t the existing Magic Foundations enough for you to play with?"

Wang Qi spread his hands helplessly, "Can you find me a Magic Foundation that includes Elephant Phase Wave Skill and Wave Ripples Mysterious Energy?"

Wang Qi was the first disciple to cultivate Elephant Phase Wave Skill during the Qi Cultivation Stage and the first to master Wave Ripples Mysterious Energy before the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment. He hoped to turn this temporary advantage into permanent capital by integrating these two techniques into the Magic Foundation.

Su Junyu pondered for a moment, "Show off. Forget it, I won’t argue about this part, just come and ask me if you have problems. However, pondering like this won’t do, wait and I’ll guide you..."

Wang Qi jumped up, saying, "Wait for what, right now!"

Su Junyu was known to Wang Qi for his level of expertise. With guidance from this True Inheritor of Wanfa Sect, he might be able to grasp the essence of the Cultivation Technique faster.

"Su Junyu, yeah," he asked another question, "Are you writing academic papers to think about your own path, right?"

Wang Qi nodded, "I feel the half-year period is a bit tight."

"What about your papers? Let me see them."

Wang Qi took out his papers, totaling thirteen, involving fields like Geometry, Algebra, Function, Group Theory, and other mathematical aspects. Looking at the thick stack of mathematics papers he had inadvertently accumulated, Wang Qi felt somewhat proud, secretly thinking, "If I had applied to Göttingen University instead of Copenhagen University back in the day, maybe my academic status would have been even higher."

Su Junyu, who had achieved mastery in Heavenly Position Technique, had calculation ability and thinking speed far superior to ordinary people, and also had a high level of mathematical skill, quickly flipped through the papers. Since these papers had no new developments, he finished all thirteen quite fast.

Wang Qi wanted to ask Su Junyu about any deficiencies, but then Su Junyu asked a strange question, "Do you understand a straight line?"

Ever since the Geometric God introduced the laws of geometry, who didn’t understand?

Wang Qi almost wanted to counter-question this, but Su Junyu suddenly shouted, "Straight!"

Su Junyu’s left foot shot out like lightning, his right hand flung out, with no extra flourishes, just a straight line, yet the momentum was unstoppable!

Was this...testing my skills?

Wang Qi dared not slack off, and using the Book of Geometry to resolve Su Junyu’s move, it indeed conformed to the standard equation of a straight line! He casually flung out his right hand, and his fist trajectory neatly tangent to Su Junyu’s straight strike.

Crack! Wang Qi deflected Su Junyu’s blow with just the right amount of force.

"Double Arc!"

Su Junyu stepped forward again, his left hand drawing two semi-arcs, the force without a spit yet oppressively pressing. It seemed wholly deceptive yet carried a thrice-intense essence of aggressiveness, aiming directly at Wang Qi’s face!

A hyperbola?

Wang Qi twisted his body, Mana swirling, and punched out in a straight line, once again tangentially meeting Su Junyu’s fist, fending off the move.

"Helix!"

Su Junyu pulled his right hand back to his waist, then his palm knife swirling from small to large carved out countless knife flowers, fiercely stabbing at Wang Qi.

Was this...a helix?

Suddenly, the difficulty escalated!
