Chapter 2 "Cultivation is just for enjoyment."

The five qi are in harmony with each other.

Qi and spirit are combined, spirit and form are combined.

As a time traveler, can Bai Ye's soul perfectly fit with his body?

There is only one answer: no.

Unless he is not soul-pierced, but clothed.

After time traveling, Bai Ye has been worried about this problem. If he really can travel through the soul, he will only be able to stop at the great achievements of Qi refining in this life and will not be able to reach the state of perfect Qi refining.

Now there is only one step away from the consummation of Qi refining, and tonight we will take this crucial step.

If it succeeds, then the great path can be expected; if it fails, then it means that there is no chance of the great path in this life.

After school, I spent several hours adjusting to my condition. When the moon was at the top of the sky, I sat upright on the bed and put my five hearts in the sky, impacting the realm of the five qi.

Zhachuan Middle School has double dormitories and single dormitories.

Bai Ye was assigned a single dormitory, so he could practice in peace without being seen or disturbed.

Aleister's lag loop?

He is usually a quiet person and looks like a nobody. There is no reason why he would attract the attention of the chairman.

"Hush~huh~"

Take a deep breath and put aside the distracting thoughts in your mind.

The energy of the five elements circulates throughout the body under the guidance of thoughts, either generating or inhibiting each other, and for a time it is as chaotic as numbness.

And in the boundless chaos, new existences are born.

……

As the battle turns and the stars move, the sun and the moon rotate.

The morning sun soon filled the entire Academy City, and the sleeping students, teachers, and other staff woke up from their slumber one after another, bidding farewell to yesterday and welcoming today.

In a closed building with no doors or windows.

There is the light emitted by the instrument, the sound of the instrument running, and an unknown creature hanging upside down and soaked in the liquid.

He is the founder and controller of Academy City: Aleister Crowley.

The huge buildings and instruments are a kind of protection, so that magicians, angels and demons cannot detect his existence.

There are very few visitors to this building.

What Aleister did most was to stop moving and thinking.

The plan has been made long ago, and the preparations that need to be made have been made. What he needs to do now is to watch the development of things and wait silently for his own opportunity.

But something seemed to have happened unexpectedly.

Aleister, who was hanging upside down, suddenly opened his eyes, but was unable to grasp the fleeting special feeling.

The chairman's mood changed, and he became a little more confused.

"Aiwass, do you feel it?"

It seemed like he was talking to someone, but also like he was talking to himself.

Soon he closed his eyes and stopped moving and thinking again.

"Hope is just an illusion."

……

Bai Ye, who was sitting on the bed, heard some movement. He opened his eyes, stretched, and got off the bed to move his body.

He raised his hands and touched his face, as if relieved.

"I'm still me!"

Since he can return to his peak and regain his vitality, it means that he is wearing it, not his soul.

Reincarnation?

That's what Buddhism says.

Later, it was borrowed from Taoism and gradually formed the legend of the underworld.

Of course, Buddhism also draws lessons from Taoism.

In that ancient country, Taoism and Buddhism have both become suture monsters. There is me in you and you in me.

There is also Taoism in this world, and there is also a demon god.

But no need to pay attention now.

"The five qi are in full swing and the refining of qi is complete. It feels so damn relaxing."

It’s so easy that you can let yourself go.

……

Still have to go to class, though.

One is because of the habits developed over the years, and the other is that there is nothing else to do.

After the Qi refining is complete, the next step is to concentrate and condense the soul.

But it is easier to refine Qi than to refine God.

"Anyway, Qi refining has been completed, and it will be good even if it takes decades or hundreds of years to break through to the Concentrating Soul realm."

Return to class, but did not listen carefully.

Sitting in the back row by the window, looking at the clouds in the sky, thinking about my own things.

The teacher was already used to it and did not try to preach.

Mainly because he won't listen even if I say it.

Saten Ruiko turned to look at Bai Ye's classmate, then looked away, and took out the photos taken yesterday from the desk drawer, which had been developed overnight.

But what to do with the photo? Collect by yourself? Leave it to Bai Ye-san?

Sure enough, I shouldn't have taken the photo yesterday, or I should have deleted it if I had taken it. Even if I didn't develop it, it would still be fine, but in the end I was asking for trouble.

Looking at the boy in the photo, Saten Ruiko felt pity again.

He is so good-looking, why is he a bad boy?

And there is no acceptance capacity development.

If he accepts it, what kind of abilities will he have? What level will it reach?

"ability……"

Thinking of this, Saten Ruiko felt complicated.

She came to Academy City just to gain abilities, and she worked hard from elementary school to middle school, but she was still a Level 0 incompetent person.

"When can I become a Level 1 esper?"

……

The day passed normally.

I used to go back to the dormitory directly after school because I had to seize the time to practice Qi and cultivate immortality.

Now that Qi has been refined to perfection, there is not much use in continuing to practice. It is still far away from condensing the soul. There is not much difference between working hard or not.

So instead of rushing back to the dormitory today, I went shopping outside to find my original intention of cultivating immortality.

Why did you want to practice in the first place?

Because I don’t want to die after living for sixty or seventy years. There are so many things in the world that I want to enjoy, such as my favorite food, my favorite novels and comics, game animations, as well as all kinds of strange people and strange things, beautiful scenery, and the mystery. The vast universe.

Look up at the vastness of the universe and look down at the prosperity of categories.

As long as death is not the only way to escape, who doesn’t want to live for hundreds or thousands more years?

Throughout the ages, from princes and nobles to traffickers and pawns, how many people have dreamed of immortality?

Difficult to count.

Because almost everyone has fantasized about it.

There is no need to fantasize about Bai Ye. Compared to ordinary people, he is already considered immortal.

Of course this is not enough, he still needs to continue to work hard.

But you can relax for now.

"The purpose of cultivating immortality is to enjoy it. It has been a long time since I have enjoyed life properly."

Unfortunately, there aren’t many familiar delicacies to be found in this city.

There are many beautiful girls.

"Beautiful and delicious?"

Bai Ye seemed to have some realization when he thought of this.

Keep moving forward, experience the fireworks of the world, and eliminate the isolation-like mentality.

When passing by a convenience store, I wanted to go in and buy some snacks, and a white-haired man happened to come out of it. Their shoulders bumped into each other, but nothing happened.

Bai Ye glanced at him and went straight into the convenience store.

The white-haired man seemed to be in a daze.

After a long time, he turned around to search for Bai Ye's figure, with doubts in his eyes: Why didn't his ability respond just now?

……

In a building without doors and windows.

Aleister opened his eyes again because he discovered something unusual: the boy did not trigger the first "reflex".

Is the first one unable to use the ability?

Or did that boy make the No. [-] ability ineffective?

If the former...

impossible.

The reflex ability is always "on", there is no reason why it should be turned off at this time.

Is that the latter?

Only Fantasy Killer can erase abilities.

And there is only one Fantasy Killer, and that boy cannot have the same thing.

So the answer is obvious: that boy has an unknown ability to restrain the first one's reflex; in other words, he has stronger power than the first one.

"It's really unexpected."

Over the long years, Aleister has considered many possibilities and formulated various countermeasures.

But it stands to reason that no one with any ability is stronger than the first one.

Could it be that he is not a person with abilities, but a magician?

It doesn't feel like it.

So this was really unexpected.

Aleister's expression did not change, he was just thinking carefully and made a decision quickly.

"Erase it."

He couldn't move himself, so there was no need for Epworth to take action.

A hero recruited with great effort...

Don't move yet.

The "killers" who can be used should be the second and fourth ones, because they are ANBU.
