Thanks to My Enemy, I Become Immortal Emperor - Chapter 9

The three Cultivation Techniques cost Liu Shunyi around four to five thousand merit points.

For him, it was an absolute steal.

Next, he purchased a comprehensive guide on Alchemy Basics and the Arson Technique.

There were several reasons for this:

Firstly, alchemy could be incredibly lucrative.

Although he currently had one hundred thousand merit points, there would inevitably come a day when they’d run out.

To establish himself within the cultivation world, mastering a viable trade was essential.

Alchemy proved most profitable, as Medicine Pills were indispensable for cultivators.

After these purchases, Liu Shunyi turned to leave.

However, instead of heading back, he decided to focus on his cultivation intensely. The techniques he planned to practice might generate significant attention due to their intensity.

Concerned about drawing unwanted scrutiny, Liu Shunyi headed straight to a marked location he had previously noted – Qinglian Mountain’s abandoned area.

This place boasted reasonably dense spiritual energy, albeit with unremarkable scenery, so even young couples avoided it for romantic outings.

Liu Shunyi specifically valued its seclusion.

Ensuring no one was around, he found a discreet spot, sat cross-legged, and began studying the Frenzy Thunder Scripture.

Perhaps owing to his soul transmigration, Liu Shunyi’s comprehension abilities seemed extraordinarily high.

After briefly memorizing the method of circulation described in the scripture, Liu Shunyi grasped its essence.

“By absorbing and controlling electromagnetic fields in the air, igniting spiritual power with electromagnetism, generating more electromagnetism, and forming a vortex that converges within my dantian, it creates a wild pull on surrounding spiritual energy! Simple!”

Liu Shunyi tossed the Frenzy Thunder Scripture back into his Storage Bag.

He then began to cultivate immediately.

“Zzzt… Zzzt…”

As Liu Shunyi activated the Cultivation Technique, strands of lightning started swirling around him.

Gradually, the lightning increased in intensity.

Soon after, the heaven and earth’s spiritual energy visibly formed a vortex, being absorbed by Liu Shunyi.

Naturally,

this violent influx of spiritual energy began tearing through his body, meridians, and limbs.

However, oddly enough,

Liu Shunyi felt no pain; instead, the torn meridians and tissues rapidly healed only to be torn again just as swiftly.

“Boom~”

Finally,

a dense layer of thunderclouds coalesced above Liu Shunyi’s head, releasing bolts of lightning that struck directly between his brows.

Unfazed, Liu Shunyi reveled in the sensation of his body and cultivation base steadily growing stronger.

***

Eight hours passed!

As Zhang Junbao’s name ceased to regain its glow, Liu Shunyi promptly halted.

“Wow, is this Cultivation Technique so incredibly powerful?” Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.

If not for the Grand Dao Golden Book, he likely would never have dared to practice such a technique throughout his lifetime.

However!

Liu Shunyi felt the True Qi within him, astonishment spreading across his face.

“Qi Refining, Fifth Layer!”

He was utterly incredulous.

How long had he been cultivating? Just eight hours.

In these fucking eight hours, he had leaped from the peak of Qi Refining Second Layer directly to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

This Cultivation Technique was genuinely badass.

But there’s one catch…

It seems quite detrimental to opponents.

Gazing at Zhang Junbao’s name, which could no longer light up, Liu Shunyi felt somewhat melancholic.

“Ah, I fear I might have ruined another one!” He muttered to himself.

With that, Liu Shunyi decided to stop practicing further.

No joke.

Zhang Junbao must have had a considerable cultivation base, yet even that couldn’t withstand just eight hours of his training.

Considering his own pain tolerance,

it wasn’t worth thinking about continuing with others’ names.

Since there were no immediate opportunities for more training, and being financially comfortable, Liu Shunyi pondered briefly before taking out the “Foundation of Alchemy” book to begin studying, reading as he walked.

Ji Suying and the little loli observed Liu Shunyi’s cultivation from atop a distant tree, both stunned by the scene unfolding before them.

“Sis, how long did it take you to reach Qi Refining Fifth Layer?” the little loli asked.

Ji Suying pondered for a moment before responding, “I think it took me around three years!”

The little loli drew a deep breath.

“Sis, he achieved it in just four hours! And not only that, he’s also cultivating the Frenzy Thunder Scripture, even advancing directly to the Mahayana Crazy Thunder Scripture!”

Even Ji Suying was at a loss for words. She could sense the power and aura of Liu Shunyi’s Qi Refining Fifth Layer, which seemed more terrifying than the Qi Refining Eighth Layer itself – truly inconceivable.

More astounding was Liu Shunyi’s recovery ability, equally frightening in its own right.

“Sis, with such exceptional talent, how can Liu Shunyi be just a servant? And his rapid progress, is it really possible with a Mixed Spirit Root?” The little loli hesitated, then added, “Should we report this to our master?”

Just as Ji Suying was about to nod, she suddenly felt uneasy, experiencing a foreboding sensation. Quickly, she raised her hand to interrupt.

“What happened today must not be shared with anyone; ensure no one learns of this!”

The little loli nodded hastily, breaking out in cold sweat.

Ji Suying glanced back at the little loli.

“You felt it too?”

With a pale face, the little loli nodded silently. They exchanged looks without uttering a word.

As Liu Shunyi was returning to his quarters, he suddenly noticed movement within the Grand Dao Golden Book.

When Liu Shunyi saw the golden quill trembling in the book, excitement mixed with apprehension surged through him as he cautiously looked around.

He thought to himself, *Seriously, I’m just a servant; why does someone want me dead every damn day?*

However, moments later, Liu Shunyi felt a surge of anticipation.

The first stroke on the page gleamed brilliantly in gold, emitting an intense radiance.

*Holy shit

“Motherfucker, you think I’m giving you too much leeway?! Get your ass out here, and just watch me snap you in two!”

As soon as Liu Shunyi finished speaking, the golden brush instantly flew outside his body.

Liu Shunyi was taken aback, stammering, “Wait, you’re serious about this?!”

The golden brush wasted no time, immediately striking Liu Shunyi’s head.

“Ahh~”

Liu Shunyi experienced sheer agony and quickly covered his head, pleading for mercy.

“Great Dao Grandpa, I’m sorry, I’m truly sorry! It won’t happen again.”

Only then did the golden
