Introduction to Qi Refining

Back in his dorm, Zhao Dongchuan closed the door, eagerly climbed onto his bed, sat cross-legged, and summoned the system.

Draw Chances: 5

Looking at the draw chances displayed by the system in his mind, Zhao Dongchuan grinned mischievously!

Hehe! Hehe! Hehe!

After a month, it was finally time for the harvest.

Zhao Dongchuan triggered the draw button and clicked Draw!!!!

The system's big spinning wheel began to rotate rapidly, emitting colorful light!

"Ding"

Drew a Bronze Treasure Chest~

Continue drawing!!!

"Ding"

Still a Bronze Treasure Chest~

Zhao Dongchuan wasn't discouraged. The items from Bronze Treasure Chests were also very useful, like the system-produced fountain pen and glasses. Frankly, in a low-martial world, these were bug-level existences.

"Oh, right, I remember Sun Shaoping seemed to have met an alien later? This shouldn't just be a low-martial world; the power of technology, once developed, is also terrifying!!" Zhao Dongchuan suddenly thought.

He drew 5 times consecutively, and as expected, they were all Bronze Treasure Chests. Zhao Dongchuan wasn't too disappointed. This world was like aNovice Village (Newbie Village) to him; as long as he wasn't too reckless and didn't court death, nothing would happen.

Without any reservations, Zhao Dongchuan directly opened all five treasure chests.

"Ding, [Skill: Seizing Skill (Elementary, easily subdue 10 people or less)]"

"Ding, [Item: 100 jin of Rice (Rich in nutrition, makes everything taste good)]"

"Ding, [Skill: Breath Concealment Technique (As long as you don't make a sound, you won't be discovered)]"

"Ding, [Item: Basic Qi Cultivation (Entry to Qi cultivation, the first step in cultivation)]"

"Ding, [Item: Information Card (If not read, no one knows what's inside!)]"

Looking at the glittering treasures in the system's item bar, Zhao Dongchuan's mouth watered.

Tsk tsk tsk!!!

He got rice again! He could eat fragrant system rice every day now, finally no longer needing to "scrimp and save."

This Seizing Skill was also very good. Although his physical quality was strong, he only had brute force and lacked technique. Now, he couldn't find a master to teach him. With this skill, combined with his existing strength, he estimated that ordinary people wouldn't be able to take him down.

However, what did this "Breath Concealment Technique" mean? Did the system want him to become a flower thief? He was so handsome, talented, and rich; did he need to "steal flowers"??? System, who are you looking down on???

Qi Refining Introduction!

This seems a bit powerful. Am I going to start my cultivation journey in this world???

Zhao Dongchuan's heart was ablaze, and images of his dashing figure flying on a sword constantly appeared in his mind~~~ This could work!!!

Information Card, what's this for? A memory card? Zhao Dongchuan didn't quite understand~ and ignored it for now.

Zhao Dongchuan directly clicked on the skill "Seizing Skill" in the item bar. A flash of light merged into his mind and was absorbed by him. A stream of information flashed through his mind, and he mastered some basic Seizing Skills.

Immediately after, Zhao Dongchuan clicked on the skill "Breath Concealment Technique" in the item bar. Although he didn't want to be a flower thief, having more skills never hurt; who knew if he'd need it in the future.

A flash of light passed, and the information stream merged into his brain. He mastered "Breath Concealment Technique," which involved techniques for hiding one's aura, along with a disguise effect.

Zhao Dongchuan then, with a burning heart, took out the item: Basic Qi Cultivation. This was a book, not a skill, and couldn't be directly absorbed. It required time to slowly study.

He flipped through the book and felt a dizzying sensation. He recognized individual characters, but when put together, he couldn't understand them. It seemed he would need to spend more time to get started. From now on, he had one more daily task, and he felt like he didn't have enough time.

Zhao Dongchuan was both in pain and happy!

He didn't touch the Information Card for now as he didn't need it. The system rice automatically merged, and the quantity increased.

While checking the system, Zhao Dongchuan also tallied his current financial situation. He had sold a total of 16 watches. After deducting Li Huiying's commission, he earned 2320 yuan. Adding his original savings, he had nearly 3000 yuan in total.

Looking at the bed full of 'Great Unity' banknotes, a surge of pride welled up within him!!!

Hehehe, he could be considered a local magnate now, right~

Calculated by purchasing power, 3000 yuan at this time was equivalent to hundreds of thousands in the 2020s.

Few farmers at this time likely had so much savings, and even factory workers would need to save for several years without eating or drinking to accumulate this much money.

He still had 4 watches left. Zhao Dongchuan planned to keep one for himself and send the others to Li Huiying tomorrow to sell them all.

Li Huiying had now earned 240 yuan in commission, an amount she earned in a month that would take a regular employee four or five months to earn.

Although Li Huiying's debts could now be paid off, Zhao Dongchuan believed that faced with such income, she would certainly not give it up.

It's just that there were only a few digital watches left, so he needed to restock.

"It seems I need to make time to go to Shenzhen again!" Zhao Dongchuan thought.

While tallying his belongings, Zhao Dongchuan also saw the invitation letter from Editor Zhang Jian, inviting him to the provincial capital, which had almost been forgotten and was covered in dust. Counting the time, over a month had passed. He also needed to make time to visit the provincial capital; Zhang Jian had helped him a great deal.

After tallying these, he put the money and watches into his space, then Zhao Dongchuan washed up and started doing practice problems. Oh, and there was a new task: to read Basic Qi Cultivation. With the system-produced fountain pen, he would slowly understand it.

The next day, after eating, Zhao Dongchuan went to Li Huiying's house as usual, left the last three watches, and told her that he temporarily had no more watches, and his friend didn't have much stock either. Regardless of whether Li Huiying guessed the truth, he could only say this; it was always good to be cautious.

In the following days, Zhao Dongchuan did not go to Li Huiying's house again, spending his time studying the newly acquired Qi Refining Introduction.

The results were not very satisfactory. Although he had gradually understood the general meaning of the book through the system's fountain pen.

This book described a basic entry-level method for calming the mind and cultivating Qi.

According to the book, he needed to continuously practice quiet meditation, achieving a state of no distracting thoughts, in order to transition from stillness to movement and generate a sense of Qi.

This was a bit difficult for the current Zhao Dongchuan.

The book also mentioned that one needed abundant Qi and blood to enter the practice more easily, which complemented the "Wuqinxi."

Haste makes waste. Zhao Dongchuan's adaptable personality prevented him from excessively pursuing these things.

When he got tired of practicing, he slept. When his legs ached from sitting cross-legged, he rested. He never forced himself.

One day, after work, Zhao Dongchuan went to Li Huiying's house. As expected, all three watches had been sold. After settling the payment and commission, he discussed with Li Huiying about her returning to her Hometown to take care of Cao Yuan for about a week, after which he would bring another batch of goods.

Li Huiying naturally wouldn't give up such a good job. Without needing capital and with such high monthly income, it was truly a rare opportunity. Taking some risks was worth it.

Zhao Dongchuan also prepared to set off for Shenzhen again. This time, he didn't plan to tell anyone, only giving Jia Bing a heads-up that he was going back to his Hometown for some business and would return in a few days. He wanted to make it a quick trip!
