Look at the night that has just fallen outside.

I thought in my heart that the other outer disciples must be cultivating desperately for the assessment at this time.

Liu Qing felt a little panicked in her heart.

If it was put in the previous time when his strength was at the first level of Qi training, he would naturally not have this kind of anxiety.

But the more hope I can see, the more slowly I start to get closer to the goal, and the panic and anxiety in my heart will follow.

Of course, the more susceptible it is to the influence of competitors around you.

There's no way, who made the assessment of the inner door of the Qingling Sect a ranking system.

According to the information obtained when I first started, there were more than 300 registered disciples who participated in the assessment this time.

That's nearly 100 more than three years ago.

According to the content of the previous assessment, the sect will test the strength of each registered disciple on the day of the assessment.

After that, the disciples will be ranked according to their level of realm.

Only those whose strength is in the top 10 can be regarded as truly passing the assessment.

"The pass rate this time is less than three percent, and the competition in this sect assessment is really becoming more and more intense."

"While there's still some time, let's hurry up and cultivate."

"Only by quickly raising your strength to the third level of the Qi refining period can you have a chance in the assessment."

"Come on, come on!"

Xiao encouraged himself, and Liu Qing immediately entered the state of cultivation.

Because of the pleasure of his body and mind just now, the meridians of his whole body have entered a state of extreme excitement.

At this moment, under the mobilization of Qing Lingdu, it began to run rapidly.

The free aura around the room also began to slowly gather towards Liu Qing's side, and a huge aura vortex gradually formed around his body.

Time passed minute by minute, and by the time Liu Qing had completed the operation of the Qing Ling Decision, the time had come to the end of the day.

"Hoo ......"

Impurities in the body are excreted from the body in the form of turbidity.

The virtual dialog reminded him again that he needed to take a break.

Feeling the various meridians that had been filled with aura, Liu Qing slowly got up.

"Okay, that's all for today's cultivation first."

"Lights out, sleep!"

……

[Ding~ Complete enough sleep throughout the night. 】

[Perfect release of body and mind, reward longevity +1.] 】

[The meridians are full of vitality, and the cultivation speed is increased. 】

[The reserve aura in the body has been fully transformed......]

A good day starts with a succession of rewards from the system.

After a good night's sleep, Liu Qing felt full of energy.

The aura stored in the body during the cultivation last night had all been transformed into his own spiritual power.

In fact, as long as a monk has entered the Qi cultivation period, he can already use the cultivation method to replace sleep.

In order to save the most time and devote all their energy to improving their strength, a large number of monks will choose to practice all night.

Obviously, Liu Qing does not belong to that group of people.

"It's strange, obviously I slept all night, and the effect seems to be much better than cultivating all night."

"Could it be that there is a problem with the original cultivation method as the system says?"

"Cultivation should not be blindly ascetic, but should be a combination of work and rest?"

In order to prove whether the conjecture is accurate, Liu Qing is ready to set up a control experiment on himself.

In order to minimize the error, he took out a long-cherished Bigu Dan and took it.

After that, he forced himself to start cultivating from the morning until the early morning of the next day.

"Sure enough, although a whole day's cultivation has a time advantage, its efficiency is greatly reduced."

"The cultivation effect on the second day is several grades worse than the first day."

After reaching a valid conclusion, Liu Qing further expanded his conjecture.

"I just don't know if this method just works for me, or if it's suitable for all monks."

"If it's universally applicable, then wouldn't the spirit that the Qingling Sect has been inheriting become a fallacy?"

"But the overall strength of the disciples of the Qingling Sect is on par with the other immortal cultivation sects in the Zhao Kingdom, and the cultivation resources occupied by the several major sects are not much different."

"From this point of view, there is no disadvantage to the cultivation method of the Qingling Sect."

"To sum up, the cultivation method of combining work and rest is only effective for me alone."

"If it works, it should be continued!"

In the following time, Liu Qing simply used the life of the first day as a template and kept repeating.

Morning: Dinner, practice.

Afternoon: Eat, have fun, and read "The History of Empress Dowager Zhao".

Evening: Eat, practice, sleep.

It wasn't until half a month later that Liu Qing was pleasantly surprised to find that his strength had reached the peak of the second layer of qi cultivation at this time.

It is only one step away from the third layer of Qi training.

The speed of absorbing spiritual energy is also constantly superimposed, although it is not comparable to the innate six-rank spiritual root, but it has already exceeded the five-grade by a lot.

As for the longevity rewards obtained after physical and mental pleasure, they have been directly accumulated to 150 years.

Coupled with his own original lifespan, even if Liu Qing stopped cultivating, he would already be able to compete with some monks in the foundation building period.

"Is this the benefit of getting rid of involution and combining work and rest?"

"It's so cool!"

In addition to being happy, Liu Qing couldn't help but recall her past life.

Liu Qing in his previous life did not have a prominent family background and background.

Like most young people, they have experienced serious involution in studying and finding a job.

With unremitting efforts, Liu Qing got a satisfactory job.

But because of long-term mental pressure and irregular work and rest habits, the disease finally found him.

"Alas......"

"Maybe it's because God saw that my previous life was too miserable, so he favored me so much."

"In this life, I must get rid of involution and live a life that truly belongs to me!"

……

At noon, a notice came from the sect.

Elder Hao Zhengyi of the Outer Gate will convene all the registered disciples early tomorrow morning to publicly announce the assessment content and related matters of this sect assessment.

"Hasn't the content of the sect's assessment been used all along, Elder Hao suddenly summoned everyone this time, is there any new change?"

When he received the news, Liu Qing had just taken out "The History of Empress Dowager Zhao".

In the previous half month, he had carefully read through this shocking work.

When I read the plot of the Empress Dowager Zhao and the fake eunuch indulging in lust in the carriage, Liu Qing really found a record of the mysterious exercises.

It's just that the focus of that plot is still on the portrayal of Empress Dowager Zhao's appearance, language, actions, and demeanor.

There aren't too many introductions to mystical exercises, and they're quite obscure.

It wasn't until Liu Qing finished reading the whole book that he gradually had a hint of enlightenment, and the mysterious exercises practiced by the Empress Dowager Zhao seemed to be distributed everywhere in the book.

It's just that when reading, the reader will be more attracted by the plot in the book, and it will be difficult to really notice these details.

Therefore, in order to obtain that mysterious exercise completely, Liu Qing made up his mind.

I am going to reread "The History of Empress Dowager Zhao" again.
