252: Chapter 252 [The Cleansing Rain], High School, Li Mingxiao

However, this method caused a large number of high school students to drop out, which was contrary to the original intention of the policy.

Therefore, building on this foundation, the Ministry of Education explicitly reallocated a portion of resources, establishing venues such as spiritual meal halls, cultivation dojos, and phantom competition arenas, finally completing the reform of Transcendent high schools.

"This [Body Cleansing Dew] requires the collection of air or the dew on plants and trees after the new moon rises, absorbing the energy of the Heavenly River, and refining it under the reflection of the galaxy to be successful. For you cultivators below the third level of Qi Refining, it has the effect of cleansing the body and soul. By circulating the three types of Qi throughout the body, it can increase cultivation efficiency by twenty percent, which is much better than those so-called Strength Pills or Qi-Supplementing Powders on the market right now."

The middle-aged teacher introduced it in detail, and seeing the bright and expectant eyes of the students, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's go. In another 20 minutes, it should be dark. We are going to the Qi Gathering area to practice."

The students were led by the teacher to the central area to take a large elevator to the 300th-floor rooftop.

This Tianqing High School was actually a massive, thousand-meter-tall magical artifact skyscraper, with thousands of students learning and cultivating inside.

Li Mingxiao looked outside through the elevator glass at the countless thousand-meter-tall skyscrapers standing on this land.

From time to time, cultivators could be seen riding magical artifacts or large flying boats passing through the high altitude.

"It is truly hard to imagine that just over a decade ago, such thousand-meter-tall buildings were extremely rare for us humans. At that time, friction between countries was intense, and the world was filled with hunger, war, and disease. In just a few decades, everything has taken on a new look, and countless people are pursuing higher realms and eternal life."

Mu Yinyin, the class monitor standing next to Li Mingxiao, was somewhat surprised to hear his unconscious exclamation.

"I didn't expect you to know so much about the world of the Old Era, classmate Li Mingxiao. Some of us in the new generation think that we have always lived like this."

Regarding the class monitor's surprise, Li Mingxiao just said indifferently.

"People must always remember the path they came from, right?"

After saying this, his own thoughts drifted back to two years ago.

What Li Mingxiao had not told anyone else was that he was an extraterrestrial visitor who had transmigrated from Earth to Blue Star.

If it weren't for the different naming conventions of the two planets, he would have thought he was still in the same universe. After all, looking at the history of the Old Era, there was almost no difference between the two.

However, the history of Blue Star undergoing a planetary-level civilization trial and transitioning into an interstellar civilization was truly surprising to him.

Such a massive change in the world made him ponder; perhaps his hometown, Earth, although it was a similar physical and technological world, could not rule out the possibility that it was a testing ground for some super civilizations.

While these thoughts only made him ponder slightly, after awakening the memories of his previous life from the "mystery in the womb," Li Mingxiao shifted his focus to the pursuit of cultivation.

He felt that he was lucky, yet also unfortunate.

He had avoided the dangers of the turbulent world during the initial trial, but he had also missed out on the opportunity to come into contact with those profession stones that only existed in history and could be obtained through very few channels.

Otherwise, he would have liked to be like the pioneers of many systems and create his own Transcendent profession.

After entering high school, with the vision he had gained from the information explosion and countless fantasy novels he had consumed in his previous life, he chose without hesitation the Heavenly Talisman Dao Foundation Cultivator system created by the Heavenly River Real Person, who had already ascended to the Second Order Purple Mansion.

As the saying goes: "Cultivating nature without cultivating life is the first illness of practice. Cultivating life without cultivating nature, the spirit will struggle to reach sainthood even after ten thousand eons."

A magical power refined by combining the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit is naturally an excellent system.

Therefore, for the past two years, relying on his soul strengthened by transmigration, he had tried his best to read all the knowledge he could find regarding cultivation and Qi Refining.

He applied for higher-level knowledge reading permissions, specifically for knowledge on the middle and late stages of Qi Refining, wanting to prepare more for his future Dao Foundation.

One must know that according to the data currently released by the authorities, even after more than 30 years, there are only 43 Transcendent Life beings at the First Order level.

On average, only one Transcendent Life is achieved each year; such a success rate is extremely rare among the hundreds of thousands or even millions of consummate Qi Refining cultivators.

Even after having died once, the longing for immortality engraved in his bones still drove him to prepare early.

Ten minutes passed, and the large elevator finally brought them to the top floor of the school building, which served as an open-air Qi Gathering point for the students of Tianqing High School to gather Heaven and Earth Qi.

After applying for an area on his personal terminal, the middle-aged teacher began to teach the students the specific gathering methods.

Li Mingxiao learned the techniques taught by the teacher while thinking about his own affairs.

"Although with the development and innovation of Vital Qi technology year after year, and the development of large-scale spiritual plant and medicine industrial parks, resources to assist in cultivation have become very cheap. However, when it comes to gathering precious and rare Heaven and Earth Qi, it is still extremely stretched. The situation where one could gather Heaven and Earth Qi at will, as it was in the first few years of the New Era, is no longer possible."

Li Mingxiao recalled a paper he had read.

"With the widespread expansion of Vital Qi, the original Heaven and Earth Qi has also been affected; while its quantity has decreased, its quality is rapidly increasing. The principles contained within are no longer comparable to the pure physical world principles of the Old Era."

"Some veteran cultivators even believe that one can choose a Heaven and Earth Qi that is sufficiently rich in rare principles. After refining it into Wondrous Qi, one can then delve deeper into cultivation, seeking a compatible imagery to forge the Dao Foundation, which can reduce the conflicts of multiple Wondrous Qi principles when integrating the Dao Foundation."

Thinking to this point, he looked up at the gradually darkening night sky, dotted with countless stars. From time to time, ripples undulated in the night sky. He knew that this was the super project covering the entire Blue Star—the Purifying Heavenly River, which could purify the large amount of Transcendent pollution produced by the Transcendent interstellar society, maintaining the purity of human life and cultivation.

"Perhaps this is an opportunity."

Of course, Li Mingxiao felt that others would think the same; this was like a new trend, especially with the Human Federation vigorously promoting the refining methods for the Heavenly River Water series of spiritual water resources.

Cultivating the imagery and Dao Foundation in this direction would certainly yield more bonuses.

As for the Human Immortal, Celestial Immortal, and Earth Immortal within the Five Immortals system, looking at the current situation, it would still take a long time to perfect them.

Li Mingxiao himself did not have the confidence to blaze a new trail.

For him, pursuing a higher realm was what really mattered; if he wanted to innovate, he would have to wait until he reached the top to blaze a new path.

Time passed little by little, the sky turned completely dark, and the new moon rose.

The middle-aged teacher led the students to begin using True Qi to absorb the water vapor in the air. After ensuring that each student had absorbed enough star dew, he then activated the array in this area to draw down the Heavenly River Purifying Qi that was dispersed from the Purifying Heavenly River high above.
