My Profession Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Professional Panel, Daoist Acolyte

"Huh, Celestial Vault Spirit Realm updated again. What class should I choose on the professional panel this time..."

"Don’t think that entering the Daoist School makes you true disciples of the Shenxiao Sect. The Great Dao must be fought for! The Immortal Sect does not accept mediocrity. You have one hundred days to prove whether you are dragons or worms!"

"Ugh..."

Shenxiao Sect, Chen Thirteen Base, Cui Bamboo Town.

Inside the side room of a civilian house, a young man was in a deep slumber.

His sleep, however, was anything but peaceful. With his brows furrowed tightly and his face twisted, he seemed trapped in a relentless nightmare.

After what felt like an eternity, the young man abruptly sat up, his chest heaving violently.

"GASP..."

Panting, he raised a hand to wipe the cold sweat from his face. It took a long time for his mind to settle. He sighed inwardly, "The two sets of memories clashed again. Fortunately, this is the last of it. In a day or two, I’ll be able to merge them completely."

With this thought, Jiang Xuan recalled his two drastically different lives.

Both were named Jiang Xuan. One was a modern-day university student from the twenty-first century. While playing a game called "Celestial Vault Spirit Realm," his consciousness had suddenly blacked out for unknown reasons. When he opened his eyes again, he was in another world.

The other was a youth who had grown up in the Shenxiao Sect’s Outer Sect, at the Chen Thirteen Base. Growing up within an Immortal Sect, the boy’s childhood dream had always been to enter the Shenxiao Sect and become a Cultivator.

Three days ago, filled with excitement and longing, the youth finally stepped into the Shenxiao Sect’s Daoist School, beginning his Cultivation journey. However, reaching this point in his memories caused Jiang Xuan’s gaze to darken.

After entering, Jiang Xuan had truly realized that the Shenxiao Immortal Sect was no peaceful sanctuary. It had a strict hierarchy and fierce competition.

Even among the disciples, there were several ranks: True Inheritor, Inner Sect, Outer Sect, and servant.

Among them, only True Inheritors and Inner Sect Disciples were acknowledged by the Shenxiao Sect. They were meticulously nurtured to become the core pillars of the Sect.

Outer Disciples had to spend the majority of their time on menial chores like planting Spirit Rice, tending fires, and feeding spirit beasts. Furthermore, they had to exchange Contribution Points for Cultivation Techniques, Elixir Pills, and Magical Artifacts. Under such conditions, Cultivation was naturally an uphill battle.

As for the servants... their fate was the most miserable. Treated like slaves, they were dispatched to various peaks and could even be reduced to the personal attendants of Inner Sect Disciples. Their dignity and future were trampled underfoot.

At this thought, Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes.

"I absolutely cannot end up as a servant. The Outer Sect is my bottom line. But if I want to achieve any success in my Cultivation, I’d better secure a promotion to Inner Sect Disciple during the Hundred-Day Exam."

The moment the thought arose, a trace of bitterness touched his brow. "The Inner Sect is still too far away for me. What I need to consider right now is how to enter the Chengdao Class."

The Shenxiao Mountain Gate revered a single word: "Compete."

On their first day at the Daoist School, the instructor had etched this word into the Heart Souls of all the new students. Even now, Jiang Xuan still remembered the instructor’s blatantly cold words:

"When you enrolled, the Mountain Gate distributed many resources and benefits to the Daoist School... Stop looking around. The vast majority of you are destined to never see a single drop of these resources.

"Of course, it’s not because I’m embezzling them. If you achieve excellent results in the Hundred-Day Exam, the resource rewards I receive will be far greater than what the Sect is currently handing out.

"So, don’t worry about me hoarding them. As for why I’m not distributing them..." Here, the instructor carefully scanned the youthful, nervous faces before speaking in a harsh tone. "The Sect does not need mediocrity, and neither do I. The Great Dao must be fought for, and your struggle begins today—right this very moment!

"The Cultivation of the First Realm in our Shenxiao Sect is called Spirit Core Awakening. The core Cultivation method of this realm is opening the acupoints within your bodies.

"The human body has a total of three hundred and sixty acupoints. The first round of testing will evaluate your speed of Enlightenment. Cultivators who attain Enlightenment in thirty-six acupoints within seven days will be graded as ’Excellent’ and allowed to cultivate in the Chengdao Class.

"Those who succeed in fifteen days will be graded as ’Good’ and can also enter the Chengdao Class. The resources distributed by the Sect will only be awarded to the students of the Chengdao Class.

"If you want resources, put your backs into Cultivation!"

The instructor on the platform had spoken the last sentence coldly, and the emotions of Jiang Xuan and the others had indeed been thoroughly roused. At fourteen or fifteen years old, these youths were in the prime of their youth, brimming with ambition. No one wanted to fall behind the rest.

This drove everyone to strive for the Chengdao Class—which meant opening thirty-six acupoints within fifteen days.

Thinking up to this point, Jiang Xuan let out a sigh. Over the past two or three days, his Cultivation had not gone smoothly.

Cultivation required a Spirit Root. Among the Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow Four Grades of Spirit Roots, Jiang Xuan possessed a Profound Middle grade. While it wasn’t the absolute worst Yellow Level, it was still a far cry from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots.

What made Jiang Xuan feel powerless was that the superiority of a Spirit Root was not determined by the number of its Attributes. Instead, it represented the body’s degree of compatibility with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and its impact on Cultivation was all-encompassing.

"PHEW..."

Closing his eyes and sitting cross-legged on the bed, Jiang Xuan began circulating the Nine Breath Qi Refining Method. This was the Cultivation Technique that all students in the Shenxiao Sect’s Outer Sect Daoist School were practicing. The Magical Power cultivated through it was neutral and balanced. It could be converted into other types of Magical Power without any hindrance, making it the most suitable method for laying a solid foundation.

"WHOOSH..."

Following his Breathing, wisps of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi were drawn into his body, slowly circulating along his meridians. As the Cultivation Technique operated, this Spiritual Qi would cycle through Jiang Xuan’s body nine times—hence the name, the Nine Breath Qi Refining Method.

While the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi circulated within him, it absorbed his personal aura, tainted by his vitality and Divine Soul Power. At that point, the masterless Spiritual Qi would transform into Magical Power that he could command.
