My Profession Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 5: Chapter 3: Three Great Spells!

Hearing his mother’s call, Jiang Xuan immediately stood up from the futon in the main hall and walked outside.

Outside, Shen Yuerong had already prepared his meal—several rice balls wrapped in green lotus leaves. They were small but highly valuable.

The rice inside was crystal clear, like pristine pearls and white jade. This was Spirit Rice. Grown in a Spirit Field, it contained few impurities and could nourish the human body, making it the most suitable food for those practicing Cultivation.

Handing the rice balls to Jiang Xuan and straightening his clothes, Shen Yuerong finally let him head out.

PHEW...

Once outside, he glanced at the still-dark sky before hurrying toward the Chen Daoist School.

He wasn’t alone on his journey. Along the way, many teenagers of similar age were also heading to the school. Among them were some familiar faces. Most traveled in groups, chatting about Cultivation as they walked.

"How many acupoints have you opened?"

"Two. What about you?"

"Same here... Achieving Enlightenment is just too difficult..."

"I’m doing a bit better than you guys; I’ve opened four. But reaching Enlightenment for thirty-six acupoints in fifteen days... That feels completely hopeless..."

Listening to their conversation, Jiang Xuan realized that having opened three acupoints, his Cultivation speed wasn’t considered poor among the students of the Daoist School. However, he also knew that to be graded as excellent or good and enter the Chengdao Class, merely being "not poor" was absolutely insufficient.

"Purifying Heart, Purification of the Mouth, Purification... I hope these Spells are useful," he muttered.

Amidst his murmurs, Jiang Xuan arrived at the Chen Daoist School. By this time, more than half of the school’s students had already arrived.

Instead of heading to the enclosed classrooms, he followed the crowd to a plaza built halfway up the mountain. Those who had arrived earlier had already occupied most of the space in the plaza. Their seating might have seemed random, but a closer look revealed that the front rows—the spots closest to the instructor—were mostly taken by students with outstanding Talent and the Direct Lineage descendants of Cultivation Clans. Even if those individuals were absent, no one dared to take their places. This sight filled Jiang Xuan with a sense of resignation.

He thought, "The social hierarchy has already roughly taken shape at this point. Fortunately, there’s still a chance to change it."

Despite these thoughts, Jiang Xuan had no intention of heading to the front. Currently, those spots merely represented status and offered no special benefits. This made him unwilling to engage in petty schemes just to fight for a seat.

Finding an empty corner at the back, he stopped. He didn’t sit down immediately. Instead, drawing upon the knowledge of rituals in his mind, he began to make advance preparations.

SWISH...

Bending down, Jiang Xuan tidied up the area where he planned to practice his Cultivation. He swept the fallen leaves aside, cleared away the pebbles, and sprinkled some water from his canteen onto the ground to prevent dust from kicking up.

Next, he pressed his palms together and bowed sincerely in worship toward the ground before him. Although he had not yet learned the Earth God Spell, having the words ’Heaven’ and ’Earth’ hung on his wall meant that whenever he undertook the Cultivation of a Daoist Acolyte, he would always pay respects to Heaven and Earth first.

Afterward, Jiang Xuan stood in place and meticulously straightened his clothes before washing his hands with the water from his canteen—this was Purification and cleansing the hands. Following that, he rinsed his mouth with clean water—this was Purification of the Mouth.

Of course, these physical actions alone were insufficient. While achieving Purity for his body, the mental recitation of his Spells never ceased.

"Cinnabar Mouth God, expel filth and clear the miasma; Tongue God Zheng Lun, enact Life Communication and Spirit Nourishment; Luoqian Tooth God, ward off evil and guard the truth..."

This was the Purifying Mouth Spell.

"Lingbao Celestial Venerable, comfort my physical form; your disciple’s soul, Five Viscera and Profound Nether..."

This was the Purification Body Spell.

When Jiang Xuan finished these rituals and completed the mental recitation of the Spell incantations, the game interface transmitted two messages to him.

[You have cast the Purification Body Spell once by relying on rituals. Your spellcasting is successful. You have gained the ’Unsoiled by Dust’ Effect.]

[Unsoiled by Dust: Duration, one cup of tea.]

[You have performed a cast of the Purification Body Spell. Purification Body Spell Experience +1.]

...

[You have cast the Purifying Mouth Spell once by relying on rituals. Your spellcasting is successful. You have gained the ’Purification of Speech’ Effect.]

[Purification of Speech: Duration, one cup of tea.]

[You have performed a cast of the Purifying Mouth Spell. Purifying Mouth Spell Experience +1.]

"It really works!"

Confirming their effectiveness, Jiang Xuan remained impassive on the surface, but his subsequent movements became far more serious and devout.

RUSTLE...

He inspected himself from top to bottom. Only when he was certain that his clothes, hands, and mouth were completely clean did he finally sit down in his spot. At this moment, he began to recite the final, which was also the initial, Divine Spell—the Purifying Heart Divine Spell.

"Supreme Star, responding without pause; Exorcism and Binding Charm, Life and Body Protection..."

Mental Cultivation did not require external preparations, or rather, its preparations had to be made well in advance.

He mused, "When performing rituals, I need to stick to a vegetarian diet, abstain from alcohol, and keep my mind free of distracting thoughts. This kind of pure heart and ascetic desires is the preparation required before casting the Purifying Heart Divine Spell. It’s also the reason why the Purifying Heart Divine Spell is known as a Dao Heart Anchor Point. I’ve already completed all of this beforehand."

While pondering silently, Jiang Xuan mentally recited the Purifying Heart Divine Spell one more time. Then, a status of [Spiritual Clarity] descended to bless his mind.

[You have cast the Purifying Heart Divine Spell once. You have gained the ’Spiritual Clarity’ Effect. Purifying Heart Divine Spell Experience +1.]

WHOOSH...

After completing this set of rituals, Jiang Xuan felt his body become noticeably lighter. There was a profound sensation that he was completely free of any defilement from head to toe.

Just as Jiang Xuan was experiencing the blessings brought by the Three Great Spells, the instructor of the Chen Daoist School, Song Zhou, appeared at the edge of the cliff. Glancing east toward the rising sun, he immediately issued a command.

"Cultivation begins!"

WHOOSH...

Upon hearing his voice, the more than three thousand boys and girls in the plaza immediately faced the morning sun rising in the east and began their collective Breathing exercises. Jiang Xuan did the same, and very quickly, he noticed the benefits brought by the blessings of the Three Great Spells.

First was Purification. INHALE... EXHALE... With his rhythmic breathing, Spiritual Qi was immediately drawn into his body.

However, it was widely known that the air never contained just a single type of gas. In his past life, there was oxygen, carbon dioxide, and various other gases, along with a massive amount of microscopic dust. This world was even more complex. Aside from oxygen, Spiritual Qi, and dust, the world also contained impure qi and Evil Qi.

Normally, when Jiang Xuan activated the Nine Breath Qi Refining Method, all of these gases would be inhaled into his body together. But as the ’Unsoiled by Dust’ Effect of the Purification Body Spell activated, the impure qi, dust, and other foul gases of the world were immediately barred from entering his nose and mouth.

Free from filth, the pure Spiritual Qi was not only a delight to inhale, but after this layer of filtration, it also became much easier for him to permeate the Unowned Spiritual Qi with his vitality and the Power of Heart Soul.

He realized, "So, the reason my Refinement Effect was poor before is partly because the Spiritual Qi was impure..."

As enlightenment dawned upon him, Jiang Xuan was shocked to discover something else.

He thought in astonishment, "With just the Purification Body Spell alone, the Effect of my Cultivation has increased by more than thirty percent!"
