The divine is that which is holy and unknowable.

The first four realms of the martial arts cultivation system in the main world are: Apprentice, Mortal Transformation, Intent Realm, and External Realm.

Those who excel in external realms can manipulate external spiritual energy with a mere gesture, causing changes in celestial phenomena, summoning wind and rain, flying through the sky and escaping into the earth. A single strike can turn the entire Fifth Ring Road of the Imperial Capital into a deep pit of ruins.

In Li Xijun's world, they were an absolute backbone of the force, powerful individuals with ample privileges.

Let alone ordinary people, even for the students of the past years from the 33 martial arts universities and the Nine Schools Alliance, becoming an Outer Realm expert would be something they could laugh in their dreams, enough to set their ancestral graves on fire.

There are two major hurdles to overcome in order to become a top outdoor shooter.

One is physical strength.

Secondly, the mental strength of many martial arts geniuses trapped in the quagmire is so intense that they feel like they're dying, or even trapped for life.

The current martial arts system can enhance mental strength to break through the limitations of the physical body, making it the only cultivation method for those who can achieve external cultivation.

That is, in the third realm of artistic conception, one cultivates external landscape techniques and continuously comprehends the artistic conception within them until the artistic conception is perfected. At that time, one's mental strength will be improved to a relatively qualified level through this kind of cultivation, thus breaking through the external landscape.

There is basically no other way!

As for external aids and such...

There are many solutions for insufficient physical strength, especially resources such as Vajra Fruit, Dragon Blood, and Phoenix Gallbladder produced in the mythical world, which can quickly improve physical strength.

However, rare and precious natural treasures that can enhance mental strength have appeared in so many mythical worlds to date, and even if they do appear, they are almost impossible to circulate in the market.

Every year, countless martial arts geniuses emerge throughout the Federation, full of youthful vigor and high spirits, admired by all during high school and university.

Ultimately, however, they got stuck at the level of not being able to grasp the essence of the conception enough and not meeting the required spiritual level.

This is why the Federal College Entrance Examination places great emphasis on martial arts skills, allocating 400 points to them, and there are often rumors of special admissions.

Because most of the martial arts prodigies in high school

Either they are born with strong mental power.

Either they possess exceptional comprehension of swordsmanship or similar techniques, making it easy for them to achieve mastery of the essence and break through the external realm in the third stage.

Now, suddenly seeing this world where these things converge, it turns out to have a system for cultivating spiritual power independently.

Li Xijun, hidden behind the mask, could barely contain her elation.

But when he was about to continue browsing the information related to cultivators who had refined their spiritual energy, there was nothing left.

No matter how hard he searched through his memories in this world, all he could find were envious words and rumors such as "Cultivators of the Divine Refinement Realm are high and mighty" and "Cultivators of the Divine Refinement Realm can directly become government officials."

As for more specific system-related knowledge and introductory methods, they need to be purchased from the Cunsi Society, the official organization in this world that manages cultivators who refine spirits.

According to the original owner of this world's memories, the relevant books inside were quite expensive, with each one costing several dozen silver dollars, and some even costing more than ten taels of silver.

An ordinary laborer at the Tianjin docks earned only fifteen to twenty silver dollars a month, which is about three taels of silver.

For the original owner, who made a living by selling newspapers and was only 13 or 4 years old, it was a place she naturally wouldn't dare to even glance at.

Li Xijun, on the contrary, did not take it to heart and even breathed a sigh of relief.

After the cataclysmic event in the main world, the surface area of ​​Earth expanded, and with the existence of countless mythical worlds, most ordinary mineral resources became extremely cheap, especially silver. You could easily buy five or six hundred taels of silver for a thousand dollars!

"Silver is great! I love using silver as a general equivalent!"

"In this world, I can finally be a rich person by traveling between two worlds."

"Let's also test the activation time and phenomena when traveling back and forth."

With that thought in mind, Li Xijun no longer hesitated.

He took off his nanosuit, which transformed into a small black sphere, and placed it directly into the internal space of the Mockingbird drone. Then, he manipulated it to fly to a large tree in the forest and hid it there.

The next second, he vanished into thin air and returned to his home in the main world.

Upon returning, Li Xijun quickly found some clothes to change into.

Although it's somewhat embarrassing and wasteful, out of caution, Li Xijun will absolutely not bring any of the technological products he brought to the other world back to the main world.

He glanced at the clock on the wall and said with satisfaction:

"The flow of time is the same in both worlds, and the time spent traveling between them is less than a second."

"In this way, it can be seen as a means of escaping to save one's life."

"If I don't get into a martial arts university and end up as cannon fodder on the front lines facing some kind of life-or-death crisis, I'll just quit."

In high spirits, Li Xijun took out her phone and ordered fifty kilograms of silver and several antique-style money bags online.

This time, it only took a dozen minutes for a large package to appear on the balcony.

After taking it back to the room and unpacking it on the bed, with a crisp "clattering" sound, pieces of white silver bars and small pieces of silver instantly occupied half of the bed.

This silver, which no one in the Blue Star Federation would care about, was incredibly cute in Li Xijun's eyes at this moment. He couldn't help but lie down on it and thoroughly enjoy the feeling of being rich.

......................

Ten minutes later

A young man dressed in Western-style clothing, who looked like he had returned from studying abroad, appeared on the streets of Tianjin.

After crossing the main street and a bridge, Li Xijun soon saw a series of tall Western-style buildings. Compared to the previous street, this place was more prosperous and the streets were cleaner and tidier. Steam cars came and went from time to time, and the people in them were all well-dressed.

Amidst this bustling scene, a nine-story wooden pavilion in an ancient style stands out.

When Li Xijun stepped inside, he found that the hustle and bustle of the outside world vanished instantly, and this pavilion seemed to be a world unto itself.

The first thing that catches the eye is a plaque in the attic hall that reads, "The sacred and unknowable is called God."

With just one glance, Li Xijun felt an overwhelming aura emanating from him, as if his entire being was being elevated.

"Ahem! Young man, what brings you here?"

Only after he spoke did Li Xijun notice that at the end of the rows of bookshelves next to him, there was a middle-aged scholar in a long robe sitting at a sandalwood desk carved with auspicious cloud patterns, reading today's Tianjin Daily. He only spoke up after seeing Li Xijun looking at the plaque as he entered.

"I'd like to buy some introductory texts on spiritual cultivation," Li Xijun, who had money in his pocket, replied calmly.

The middle-aged man in the long robe gave an "oh," already used to rich young masters who tried to learn cultivation on their own by reading books.

He casually pointed to the bookshelf by the door, "It's in the first row in the middle, the prices are all on it, buy it first and then look at it."

Following the directions, Li Xijun quickly found a thin book on the bookshelf titled "Detailed Explanation of the Introduction to Spirit Refining".

Upon seeing the price of 10 taels of silver written on it, Li Xijun couldn't help but sigh. "This book costs 10 taels of silver. No wonder the original owner didn't even dare to enter this door."

After paying the other party 10 taels of silver, Li Xijun went straight to a spot next to the bookshelf, squatted down, and eagerly began to look through the Refining God System of this world.

The world is like a sea of ​​suffering, and the human body is like a raft to cross it. But the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and the raft of the body can only be crossed by blood transfusions; there is no way forward to cross this sea of ​​suffering. Only a strong spirit can withstand the various evils of this sea of ​​suffering and reach the other shore.

The first six stages of the path of spiritual refinement are: opening the apertures, concentrating the spirit, sitting in oblivion, embryonic breathing, leaving the body, and manifesting sainthood.
