Potion Maker Chapter 57: Qi Cultivation, Catching Up To Current Events

It has been some time since he started cultivating Qi by converting mana, long enough for him to get all the information about Qi cultivation he could out of the system and his blood inheritance.

The system of cultivating Qi is much more advanced and stable than the system of cultivating mana, allowing for a far more stable foundation and a possibility at reaching even further heights.

The Qi cultivation system is as follows:

Qi condensation- 9 levels (10 only reachable by so little it's a legend) Reaching level 9 results in an increase in lifespan of 400 years, 10 increase of 1000 years. Each level is an increase of two times of strength than the average human (Added to current strength before breakthrough, final strength varies depending on individual)

Foundation Establishment- 4 levels, reaching all four levels results in a total increase of another 1000 years of lifespan. Each level is another two times in strength etc

Core Formation- 4 levels, reaching a full four levels in this stage results in an increase of 5000 years of lifespan. Again each level is a two times increase in strength.

Nascent Soul- 4 levels, 5000 years of lifespan gain total after all four levels are complete. Each level is two times increase in strength etc.

Nascent Divinity- 4 levels, Same as above.

Rebirth-1 level, gain of 10,000 years of lifespan. At this stage, nearly all weapons with a ranking at this stage or lower are unable to cause one harm. Four times increase in strength, etc.

False G.o.d-1 level, Gain 40,000 years of lifespan. Same as above.

True G.o.d-1 level, Gain 100,000 years of lifespan. Same as above.

Over G.o.d- unknown amount of levels. Same as above.

Those are the stages of Qi cultivation and their levels, ignoring some other benefits of each stage (most vary depending on the individual, someone may have a ma.s.sive increase in strength, another in speed, etc.)

There are some obvious increases in other aspects, like vitality and quality of Qi that were not mentioned above.

Getting more into present events, it has been about five years since Will has arrived in this world. His initial shock of arriving here, to learning about being a rejected gradually faded as he accepted his new life in this world.

After converting mana to Qi all of these years, he reached the second level of Foundation Establishment, which is more powerful than a three band sacred level expert.

Sadly the conversion of mana to Qi is 5/1, so his cultivation was slower than it should be. Here's the difference between Qi and mana. For mana its 60 mental improvement, 20 soul improvement, and 20 body improvement. For Qi, it's 60 body strengthening, 20 mental strengthening, and 20 soul strengthening.

Mana is firstly meant for mind/soul strengthening (body in later stages) Qi is firstly meant for body strengthening (mind/soul in later stages)

Although it can change depending on techniques used, like mana cultivation techniques specifically meant for body strengthening.

The mana cultivation system is severely lacking, in both power, knowledge, and foundation. With the knowledge Will gained about his path of Qi cultivation, he not only has a further reach in his path than mana cultivators, but a greater source of power as well.

Off of this roughly thought out topic, just a few months after arriving to the sect, a very familiar pack of wolves showed up tired, hungry, and angry.

Needless to say, that day many disciples gained a plentiful amount of contribution points, which Will is in no need of, having the support of Cecily and her father.

Not like he is mooching off of them though, although tempting, he isn't such a lowlife to do that. He only asks for things that are of utmost importance, and focuses on getting even stronger, much to the appreciation of Klaus.

Speaking of the two, two years ago Cecily managed to reach the sacred realm as a mage, and peak level four warrior. Though in the last few months she caught a never before seen sickness, that slowly drains away her life force.

This caused Klaus to panic, as he got his hands on the best medicine that could be found and made, only to find out that none of them worked in the slightest. This caused Klaus to gain grey hairs, adding to the rare few that he already had. Unfortunately, he only got worse, every time he attempted to cultivate he would enter mana deviation.

To make matters even worse, Klein, that little s.h.i.+t, started demanding that he be made clan head, and by extension, head of the sect. Trying to use the excuse that Cecily won't live long enough to do good, and Klaus isn't in the right mental condition to lead anymore. (Not like Klein with his mental state would be able to lead in the first place)

Fortunately, he ended up learning how mud tastes the hard way as he was punched so hard he ended up half way across the sect in a pig pen.

Will, trying his best to help Cecily after showing him the kindness someone who ends up in another world needs, had his hopes dashed as even the system had no knowledge of a way to cure her…

Sadly for Will, he entered a state of depression for a couple months as he realized that all of this is most likely related to him, it took Cecily visiting him everyday convincing him that although she is going to die sooner, she can still do the things she has always done, and that if she keeps breaking through, her life force loss wouldn't do much compared to what she can gain from breakthroughs.

All in all, for Will, he really cannot wait to change the laws of the universe to allow Qi again, and keep the current mana system as well.
