42 I, Big Smart, Am Also a Connate Expert Now
Actually, there was a reason why Song Shi was able to cultivate so quickly.
First of all, his Comprehension ability was very strong. The circulation of cultivation techniques was child’s play to him. Hence even when he circulated the techniques quickly, it would still be very difficult for him to suffer from Qi Deviation.
Secondly, his physical body and Spiritual strength were now very powerful. He was already close to the Connate Realm. In addition, he had already cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Technique and other cultivation techniques together. Being at the so-called Connate Realm bottleneck level was not a big deal for him anymore.
For example, as Big Smart cultivated a Prajna Art and had limited strength, if he wanted to break through to the Connate realm quickly, he had to rely on medicinal pills.
Song Shi had cultivated four martial arts techniques and his foundation was especially solid. The Connate realm to him was hence equivalent to only a small threshold between the middle and late stages of Qi Refinement.
After breaking through to the Connate realm, Song Shi realized that his thoughts could also absorb a portion of the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, but it could not compare to the effect of when his spiritual root absorbed Qi.
Just by thinking with his thoughts, wisps of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi descended from the Heaven Gate and nourished his divine sense. At the same time, he could refine the Qi into the Nine Yang True Energy.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Moreover, the Spiritual Qi of the Connate Realm was at least half the absorption efficiency of the spiritual root.
It was equivalent to having an additional means capable of refining Spiritual Qi.
“Is this the Dual Cultivation of Immortality and Martial Arts? The benefits are great! Not only did I attain a powerful physical body and divine consciousness, I can also increase the speed of Qi cultivation!”
Song Shi was secretly delighted. He immediately refined the Spiritual Qi of the Connate Realm, allowing his Yang Refinement Technique to break through to the seventh level.
In the realm of immortal cultivation, Song Shi’s current level was equivalent to stepping into the late-stage Connate realm. The gap between him and other cultivators like Wuchen Zi has become very small.
The total amount of Nine Yang True Energy in his body directly doubled, exceeding 100.
Then, his palms turned red. The pure power that had gathered in his palms shattered like sand, looking soft to the touch.
His hands had become like Iron sand, melding hardness and softness together. His Iron Sand Palm technique too had reached the Connate realm!
With the enhancement of two Connate martial arts, Song Shi’s total True Qi reached more than one hundred and eighty points, far exceeding those who had just broken through to the Connate realm.
It was also only from this moment on that Song Shi’s quantity of true Qi greatly exceeded his physical fitness. This situation will only be the norm from now on.
Whether it was cultivation or martial arts, the energy in his body should reach the upper limits of his body. Only then could he unleash his strongest strength.
Otherwise, with only his powerful physical body, he would not be able to fight effectively. He would thus be no different from a boor.
After breaking through to the Immortal realm, more Spiritual Qi was absorbed by Song Shi, which in turn led to the breakthrough of the Nine Yang Divine Technique.
The well water continued to boil and disappear at a very fast speed.
Another day had passed. Song Shi took a deep breath and channeled all his strength to the Shaoyang acupuncture point on his left hand and started to focus on cultivating this acupuncture point.
After two days of cultivation, more than half of this acupuncture point had been opened.
After receiving the full impact of the power he had gained through that, it was as if a sun had bloomed and then shattered with a bang in his palm .
A new space was born. The Nine Yang True Energy surged into this space and turned it into a new energy core.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The empty space trembled and the scorching Connate True Force surged about. Four red fireballs condensed on Song Shi’s abdomen, chess and his left hand. They burned fiercely and Song Shi’s clothes turned into ashes.
Terrifying heat spread from him to the surroundings, directly evaporating more of the surrounding well water.
Song Shi’s body heated up like there were four small suns contained within him, emitting explosive fluctuations of power, causing the entire ancient well to tremble violently.
The four acupuncture points he was cultivating broke through an invisible barrier and suddenly formed a suction force that directly absorbed the power of heaven and earth from the void that opened previously.
When the Spiritual Qi entered the acupoints, it was like entering a furnace. It was quickly refined and fused into the True Qi.
“How domineering. The Connate realm of this Nine Yang Divine Technique actually directly absorbs the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth through the acupoints!”
Song Shi was shocked. The Prajna Art and the Iron Sand Palm only passively absorbs the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth through only the acupuncture point closest to heaven and earth, but the Nine Yang Divine Technique directly suctions it for absorption
“As expected of a divine technique!”
He sighed and continued to circulate his cultivation technique to experience the undiscovered mysteries of the new level of cultivation.
This time, there was an additional energy core, where three cores became four cores. Not only could this increase drive the circulation of his Genuine Qi faster, it would also allow the Nine Yang Divine Power in his body to increase rapidly!
Moreover, the upper limit of the energy stored in his body had not just increased by one-third unlike the energy core, it had been more than doubled.
This was because under the influence of the even stronger Nine Yang True Energy, the four acupuncture points widened further, going beyond just from a mere increase of three to four..
Other than the fact that his strength was purer and richer, his hands had become terrifying tools that could directly cause powerful attacks.
When it comes, nobody will be able to withstand the power from both his right and left palms.
After opening the fourth acupuncture point, Song Shi stepped into the early-stage of the second level of the Nine Yang Divine Technique. In terms of realm, his level was equivalent to the Connate or late-stage Qi Refinement realm!
His True Energy had once again increased by a large amount. The fiery red energy around his body circulated, tempering his body and expelling many impurities.
Other than that, his divine sense had also become much stronger. His thoughts could now cover a radius of 100 feet!
After his realm stabilized, Song Shi’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit rose to another level. The total amount of True Energy doubled again and his Physique increased greatly.
At this point, his cultivation speed had also slowed down a lot. He estimated that to reach his next breakthrough in cultivation, it would take more than ten days.
His Prajna Art and Iron Sand Palm had already reached perfection. The Yang Refinement Technique was still two levels away from perfection. Whereas his Nine Yang Divine Technique was only in its beginning stages.
In a short period of time, there was nothing to break through in terms of cultivation. He could only continuously accumulate strength.
“I will end my seclusion here.”
Song Shi looked at the remaining amount of well water that was about to be evaporated by his power and his face twitched.
It was indeed a little too much to cultivate these four extreme Yang cultivation techniques simultaneously. The power emitted had evaporated so much well water.
What would happen when he reached a higher realm in the future?
With a light tap on the water surface, his entire body seemed to be weightless as he gently bounced out.
With a casual bounce when he got to the outside of the well, Song Shi managed to jump higher than the roof. Every step he took was 30 feet.
It was just that his clothes had been burned away because of his cultivation leaving his entire body naked.
At this moment, a big bird was flying around in the wind. This gave him a weird feeling as if something was wrong.
“Fortunately, there’s no one at home… Big Smart is also in seclusion.”
Song Shi smiled awkwardly and looked down at his body.
He actually had an eight-pack now and the muscles on his arms had also become very obvious.
“The Effect of cultivating the Prajna Art is not bad. I’ve become a muscular man!”
Song Shi nodded in satisfaction. In the past, he was a profligate son who looked like a pretty boy. Back then, he was not muscular at all.
He looked more like a man now.
He ran back to his room, put on a brocade suit he found and opened the system panel to check his progress.

“Good lord, other than Comprehension, all my stats have at least doubled. The amount of True Energy has increased by ten times!”
Song Shi felt that cultivation was more cost-effective than courting death. Courting death causes him alot of agony so cultivation was much more comfortable physically.
“In the future, other than to obtain lottery chances, I should try my best to deliberately avoid dying.”
He thought to himself. Just as he was about to draw the lottery, a burst of laughter suddenly appeared next door.
“Hahaha!”
“I, Big Smart, am also a Connate expert now!”
