My Profession Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 43: Chapter 19: Acupoints Opened, 35!

Looking at the hand Dong Hao extended and recalling the many resources he had given him previously, Jiang Xuan sighed softly in his heart.

"As expected, the resources of a Cultivation Clan are never so easy to take."

With this thought passing, he did not voice a refusal. It was undeniable that no matter what Dong Hao’s original intentions were, the other party had indeed given him a great deal of help over these past few days.

Not to mention the Spiritual Cuisine and Elixir Pills; they replenished the deficits in Jiang Xuan’s Flesh Body, allowing him, with his Profound·Middle Grade Spirit Root, to have hope of being rated as excellent in the very first round of assessments.

Of course, just with Elixir Pills alone, Jiang Xuan could not bridge the gap between himself and the Noble Family’s Descendants, as well as the Nobles from the Lower Classes.

The reason for his rapid Enlightenment was the blessing of the Daoist Acolyte’s Three Purification Spell, and even more so because he had taken on the Purple Treasure Level profession, [Clear Heart Swordsman], along with the various abilities this profession brought.

However, the reason he could take on the [Clear Heart Swordsman] profession was largely due to the "One Qi Sword Technique" previously gifted by Dong Hao.

Judge a man by his actions, not his intentions, for no one in this world is flawless in thought. Dong Hao’s actions left Jiang Xuan with nothing to criticize. Moreover, he had genuinely received the other party’s favors. Under these circumstances, facing his request, Jiang Xuan could not refuse.

"I will help you." As he agreed aloud, Jiang Xuan also sighed inwardly,

"Never mind. My goal in the second round of assessments isn’t to fight for first place, but merely to enter the top ten. Therefore, the competition in the second round can easily accommodate both of us... Besides, continuing to cooperate with Dong Hao is ultimately more beneficial than detrimental to me."

The shortage of resources had always been Jiang Xuan’s greatest pain point. Although he had the Three Purification Spell and could even release the Cooperative Technique True Communication, Jiang Xuan did not want to die yet. Therefore, he had never considered casting the complete Three Purification Spell on others.

Even the Purifying Mouth Spell and Purification Body Spell, Jiang Xuan would not cast on others.

"Being able to cleanse the filthy and impure qi in the body, allowing the Flesh Body to return to a pure and ethereal state—even if the effect takes time, this is too shocking. No matter what, these two Divine Spells cannot be used on outsiders."

With two out of the three spells in the Three Purification Spell off the table, the only one Jiang Xuan could sell... or use to bless others, was the Purifying Heart Divine Spell.

"Although its effect is good and it can earn some money, I need to buy a large amount of tonics. I also have to gather Daoist Scriptures and Collections and build a Scripture Pavilion. This requires too many Spirit Stones and drains a lot of energy. With Dong Hao’s help, things will be much easier."

While Jiang Xuan’s thoughts raced, Dong Hao did not disappoint him either. Hearing Jiang Xuan’s agreement, a bright smile appeared on his face. Following that, he generously painted a grand picture for Jiang Xuan. "Thank you for your loyalty, Brother Jiang! I, Dong Hao, am definitely not an ungrateful person. If I can successfully enter the Inner Sect, I will surely receive the full support of my family. When that time comes, it will not be difficult to find a good position for you within the Shenxiao Sect, Brother Jiang. Even..."

Midway through his sentence, he glanced at the brightly dressed but pale-faced Female Cultivators ahead and gave Jiang Xuan a knowing look shared between men. "Even if you are interested in young ladies from a Noble Family, Brother Jiang, I can help play matchmaker.

"Of course, it could only be women from branch families. I have to rack my own brains just to pursue the direct lineage Fairies of a Cultivation Clan."

Dong Hao’s high regard was sincere, but the benefits he dangled left Jiang Xuan speechless for a moment. "Thank you for your good intentions, Brother Dong, but my heart is solely set on Cultivation right now. I have no time for romance."

To Jiang Xuan’s surprise, his words made Dong Hao laugh even more heartily. "Brother Jiang, if you want your Cultivation progress to advance faster, you should really think about this carefully."

At this point, he stepped closer and lowered his voice.

"Even if these women have been given up by their families and relegated to the branch lineages, the resources they hold are definitely not something you, with your humble background, can compare to.

"If you can marry one, it will save you at least ten to twenty years of hard work."

"...There’s no need." Jiang Xuan did not want to be tied down. Seeing his firm attitude, Dong Hao shrugged and did not try to persuade him further.

After Dong Hao left, Jiang Xuan immediately performed the rituals according to the rules: Purifying Heart, Purification of the Mouth, Purification, and purifying his hands, immersing his entire being in a state of tranquility. Not long after, the lecturer of the Chen Daoist School, Song Zhou, arrived riding the clouds and mist.

He glanced up at the sky, then spoke loudly to the over three thousand students below. "Begin your Cultivation."

"INHALE... EXHALE..."

At his command, the more than three thousand students began Breathing in unison, starting their morning Cultivation. Jiang Xuan also entered Meditation along with them.

In just an instant, he felt the wondrous benefits of True Communication applied to his body.

The Purity of his Flesh Body, cleansed to harmonize with Heaven and Earth, not only made Introducing Qi into the Body smoother for him, but also made the process of Refining Spiritual Qi twice as effective with half the effort. Even when searching for acupoints, because his entire being was clear and transparent, he was more than thirty percent faster than ordinary Cultivators.

"This is an all-around enhancement!" His cleansed body further accelerated Jiang Xuan’s Enlightenment. During yesterday’s evening session, the number of acupoints Jiang Xuan opened in a single Cultivation session reached six. Today was even better; over a single morning of Cultivation, he opened seven acupoints straight away.

"It’s a pity that the abilities of True Communication and the Clear Heart Swordsman overlap somewhat. With the Clear Heart Mirror (Observing Oneself), finding my acupoints is already easy. The Purity of my Flesh Body isn’t of much use to me... at least, not right now.

"There is also the gathering of Spiritual Qi... The [Heart・Sincerity (Sword)] stacked with the Three Purification Spell already allows me to achieve the Unity of Man and Sword with the Cyan Glaze Sword, channeling the Natural Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth. This largely overlaps with the effect of Spiritual Qi gathering automatically."

Although he couldn’t directly increase his progress by thirty to fifty percent on top of his original foundation, going from six acupoints to seven acupoints still made Jiang Xuan delighted.
