Chapter 381 - Qi Refinement?!



Chapter 381 Qi Refinement?!

Xiao Feifei narrowed her eyes in contentment and looked at Ye Lingchen beside her. She leaned her head unobtrusively toward Ye Lingchen, and when she looked at the shadow on the ground, the two of them seemed to be leaning on each other’s shoulder. She smiled triumphantly like a promiscuous cat.“By the way, Feifei, I just noticed that the first season of iPartment has been shot halfway. It’s progressing quite fast,” Ye Lingchen said.

Xiao Feifei hurriedly raised her head, but the blush on her face did not fade. She pretended to be calm and said, “Yes. We’re planning to release it on New Year’s Day.”

New Year’s Day is only a month away from then.

iPartment was like a slice of life television show. The shooting cost was very low and the venue was not complicated. As long as the actors’ acting skills were competent, the shooting would progress quickly.

Ye Lingchen nodded before saying, “Has the timeslot been booked the broadcast?”

“We booked Durian TV, and it’s the prime time from seven to nine o’clock in the evening!” Xiao Feifei said with a smile and a bit of smugness. “We bagged that slot because of Director Li’s reputation and mine as well.”

Durian TV was undoubtedly one of the most popular TV stations. It was the overlord of entertainment channels. Be it variety shows or television dramas, all its broadcasts are the highest quality. Therefore, the ratings were always high and it overwhelmed other television channels.

Durian TV’s prime time, coupled with iPartment’s quality, would certainly make it a hit. Ye Lingchen believed that his popularity will increase tremendously.

“Lingchen,” Xiao Feifei called out suddenly. She looked at Ye Lingchen and bit her lip with a hesitant look in her eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Lingchen looked at her.

“Can you cook dinner for us again tonight?” Xiao Feifei said.

The others suddenly raised their heads and stared at Ye Lingchen with a scorching gaze. Hu Yifei had already leaned over. “Then… can I serve the rice?”

“Young Master Ye, there were too few dishes for lunch just now. Can you count me in for dinner? I’ll go and get whatever you need,” Wanyu volunteered.

“Young Master Ye, I’ll help you wash the vegetables!” Lu Xiaobu said instantly.

“Then I will help you massage your back and your legs.” Chen Chichi was briefly stunned but she quickly made that remark.

At that point, their mouths were still reminiscing about the previous delicacy. They would be overjoyed if they ate the rice cooked by Ye Lingchen.

“Don’t make a fuss.” Xiao Feifei had a stern look and she said, “Lingchen, I have a close girl friend who hasn’t had a good meal for a week. Your cooking might help her.”

“Is she anorexic?” Ye Lingchen raised his brow slightly and guessed one of the possibilities.

“Mm, it’s anorexia.” Xiao Feifei nodded. “She’s obviously hungry, but every time she eats, she has the feeling of wanting to vomit. Her appetite is really poor.

“She’s a very good girl. It’s possible that she got anorexic because she was under too much pressure to film a TV series.”

“Mm, okay. You can call her to come over at night.” Ye Lingchen nodded. It took him little effort to do so.

“Thank you,” Xiao Feifei said happily.

In the afternoon, everyone continued to shoot at the venue. Ye Lingchen had nothing to do, so he went downstairs and wandered around.

Capital City Development Zone was full of high-rise buildings and was a modern city in the purest sense. It was unlike old cities whereby many old buildings would have to be maintained, and it was not as congested as old cities too.

On the street were men and women in fashionable clothing coming and going. On occasion, he would hear murmurs about Superman Y’s heroic diving into the water to rescue people earlier that morning.

Following the map’s instructions, Ye Lingchen walked to a nearby library. He was about to try his luck and see whether he could find books that were useful to him.

The first floor of the library was filled with literary books, such as the Four Classic Novels[1]. In the novel column, Ye Lingchen also saw the published book version of Celestial Bane, which was his own creation. Many readers were sitting on the ground, holding the books and reading them with interest.

The second floor contained books from elementary school up till university. The entire floor is full of books, and Ye Lingchen skipped it completely.

On the third floor were some miscellaneous books, like parenting books, health and fitness, and other topics. Many people were there reading those books.

Ye Lingchen slowed down and walked around the third floor. He was prepared to see if he could gain some knowledge that day.

His knowledge was already very wide and he had read all those regular books. All that was left for him was curiosity.

After passing by the bookshelves one by one, Ye Lingchen’s footsteps stopped at architecture.

It would never hurt to have extra knowledge so he might as well have a look at them since he would not be on the losing end anyway.

Ye Lingchen thought about it and randomly took a book from the shelf.

“Self-studying Exterior Design, Architectural proficiency +1.”

“Self-studying Exterior Design, Architectural proficiency +1.”

“Self-studying Architectural Drawing, Architectural proficiency +1.”

“Self-studying Architectural Drawing, Architectural proficiency +1.”

“Self-studying Architectural Mechanics, Architectural proficiency +1.”

Soon, piles of architectural knowledge were poured into Ye Lingchen’s mind. His proficiency increased at a rapid rate.

After reading the eighth book, Ye Lingchen’s hand paused slightly—his proficiency in architecture had reached 100%!

He had one more skill that could be upgraded.

Indeed, he did that just to get more upgrade options!

Naturally, Ye Lingchen would not use all that knowledge, but using it to have upgrade options would bring about some surprises for him!

With a smile, Ye Lingchen put the book back on the shelf, glanced at it, then paused slightly. He then walked toward another area.

That area was filled with Buddhist and Taoist scriptures.

Reading Buddhist scriptures would bring about an increase in Dharma proficiency, but he had no idea know what kind of proficiency would increase if he read Taoist scriptures.

Holding on to the mentality of giving things a try, Ye Lingchen picked up a copy of Big Dipper Scripture.

“Self-study Big Dipper Scripture, Qi Refinement proficiency +1.”

‘F*CK!’

Looking at the system’s prompts, Ye Lingchen’s entire body trembled and he almost jumped up.

He calmed himself down and looked carefully.

Qi Refinement!

It really was Qi refinement!

‘F*CK! This is awesome!’

Perhaps his heartbeat was beating too wildly because he found it rather difficult to calm down even after taking a few deep breaths.

It was too shocking and too appalling! Refining Qi really was capable in that world!

Having martial arts skills was already shocking enough! At that point, he could even start cultivating immortality!

In such a short time, his proficiency in Qi refinement had reached six percent, but it did not increase anymore.

At the same time, Ye Lingchen’s mind was also filled with a couple of other peculiar things, such as meditation postures, how to exhale, how to sense the world’s spiritual Qi, and how to control the Qi in his body.

Those were all very mysterious things, and if not for the system’s awesomeness, Ye Lingchen would probably think that all of it was fake.

Ye Lingchen looked at the bookshelf full of Taoist books and his heart fired up. ‘The path to cultivation, here I come…’
