Chapter 78 - Cultivation Realms?
\'Hmm, there is no difference in these drops of liquid spirit qi. They have not been tampered with and are rather pure, almost no different from the spirit qi obtained from a peak grade spirit stone.\' Shirong thought.
"Ahaha! The fortune is simply in my favor." Shirong laughed out loud.
He calmed down after a bit and closed his eyes, returning to his cultivation.

"Ah, finally! Some privacy," Lin Wu said as he took a breath of relief.
"System show me the Host data." Lin Wu ordered.

Lin Wu felt happy at the amount of spirit qi and vital energy that he had obtained. Lin Wu reckoned that he would be able to reach the core condensation realm in one jump if he wanted to do so. Though he would not do it right now, no he had a special plan for that.
Lin Wu had inquired with the system and knew that breaking through to the core condensation realm would be a rather flashy occasion and if he did it in the ring, Shirong would definitely know. Thus he knew that if he wanted to do it he would have to grasp the right opportunity.
With the influx of more spirit qi and vital energy, the consumption of system energy storage seemed almost negligible.
Lin Wu then looked over at the new information that was obtained from the data node he got from the drunk man. But after reading through it all he was disappointed as it was just some mundane information about the day to day life of that drunk man which was rather useless.
But just as he was lamenting at this, the notification sounded again.

"Ah, right in time! Show me the new information." Lin Wu ordered.
A new window appeared in front of Lin Wu and he started reading it. But not even after the first few lines, Lin Wu laughed out loud.
"Just what I wanted." Lin Wu muttered.
The new information that Lin Wu had obtained was none other than the information pertaining to the cultivation realms of this world.
Lin Wu learned that there were about seven widely known cultivation realms in this world and it all started from the body tempering realm.
The body tempering realm had a total of thirteen stages, all of which required vital energy to progress in. The first to fourth stage tempered the muscles, the fifth to seventh stages tempered the skin, the eighth to tenth stage tempered the blood while the final three stages tempered the bones and the marrows.
This did not matter to Lin Wu now, as he had pretty much skipped over most of the stages and had directly reached the qi refining realm by consuming the green crystal. He also learned that one needed to reach the eighth stage of the body temping realm in order to reach the qi refining realm.
It was only at the eighth stage of the body tempering realm that a cultivator was able to contain spirit qi in their bodies. If they tried to use cultivation techniques before this, they would sustain injuries and could even explode.
Then came the qi refining realm, which had four stages; the early, mid, late and peak stages. In this, a cultivator would absorb spirit qi wisps from the atmosphere and add it to their dantian. When their dantian exceeded half of its capacity, the cultivator was said to have broken through to the mid stage of the qi rending realm.
When the spirit qi wisps completely filled the dantian of a cultivator, the cultivator was said to have reached the end of the mid stage of the qi refining realm. If he or she wanted to break through to the next stage, they had to refine the spirit qi wisps into a liquid form.
As soon as even a single drop of spirit qi was refined, the cultivator would break through to the late stage of the qi refining realm. Then, similar to the mid stage of the qi refining realm, in order to reach the peak stage, a cultivator had to fill half of his dantian with liquid spirit qi.
When the entire Dantian was filled to the brim with liquid spirit qi, the cultivator was said to have reached the absolute peak of the qi refining realm.
After this came the core condensation realm, which also had four stages similar to the qi refining realm; early, mid, late and peak. In this, the cultivator would further refine the liquid spirit qi they had into a solid core.
Once this solid core was fully formed, they would have reached the core condensation realm.
