Cultivation: Start From Upgrading My Computer-Chapter 28

System Upgrade

“Oh, really?”

Xu Lu’s fingertips gently brushed across Miao Changsheng’s face, her brows and eyes alluring.

Miao Changsheng was so enticed that he swallowed his saliva. It was a good thing that he was only interested in refining medicine and was not very interested in women. If it were someone else, they might not be able to resist it.

“Let me put it this way. Cheng Xu is now one of my men.” Xu Lu teased.

“What?” Miao Changsheng was shocked, but he quickly came to his senses. “That’s impossible. Senior brother is not that kind of person. Don’t try to fool me with such tricks.”

“That’s right, he’s not my man yet, but there’s no man in this world that I can’t sleep with,” Xu Lu laughed.

“What a shameless demoness! It would be strange if my senior brother fell for you!”

The moment he said that, the fiendish cultivator beside him kicked him. “Are you looking for death? How can you speak to the Holy Maiden like that?”

“That’s enough.” Xu Lu smiled indifferently. “lock these two people up. I have a great use for them. You guys can go and receive your rewards.”

“Alright,” he said.

A few demonic cultivators immediately escorted Miao Changsheng and the other man out happily.

Heavenly Dragon Mountain, on the temporary Watchtower halfway up the mountain.

Cheng Xu’s qi sea was constantly churning under the effect of the Foundation Building Pill, and his true qi was gradually condensed into a more powerful True Essence.

However, a forced Foundation Establishment was still a forced Foundation Establishment.

There was still more than half of the genuine Qi in his Qi sea that had not been condensed and refined. After the first half of the pure genuine Qi was transformed into genuine vitality, the second half of the ordinary genuine Qi was obviously much slower.

Cheng Xu could clearly feel a sense of powerlessness and a lack of energy.

“You must succeed!”

The surging power in his body made Cheng Xu feel uncomfortable all over. Beads of sweat kept oozing out of his pores, and his skin was hot and red, like a sauna.

As time passed, the medicinal power of the Supreme-grade Foundation Building Pill gradually weakened, and it was nearing its end.

There was still a lot of true Qi left in Cheng Xu’s body. If he couldn’t convert all of it into True Essence before the effects of the medicine ended, it would mean that he had failed to build his Foundation.

This was because only when the Qi sea was occupied by true essence and without a trace of impurities could the Qi sea undergo a qualitative change of Foundation Establishment.

Seeing that the effects of the medicine were about to wear off, Cheng Xu’s heart was in his throat.

When there was only the last wisp of true Qi left in the Qi sea that had not yet been condensed, the medicinal effect of the Foundation Building Pill also dissipated.

Just as Cheng Xu thought that he was about to fail in his Foundation Establishment, the Foundation Establishment Pill’s medicinal effects that had already dissipated suddenly returned to life, and the last trace of medicinal power bloomed in his body.

Cheng Xu was overjoyed. He hurriedly condensed the last wisp of true Qi into True Essence with the help of the medicinal power of this final radiance.

At this point, Vital Essence, which was several times denser than Vital Energy, filled Cheng Xu’s Qi sea.

What he had to do next was to compress the chaotic and disorderly True Essence in his Qi sea into a Qi sea vortex and make it a part of the Qi sea.

The process of compressing True Essence was much easier than he had imagined. Cheng Xu knew that this was the effect of the three Supreme-grade Tendon and marrow cleansing pills he had taken earlier.

“BOOM!”

With a loud boom, the chaotic true essence in his Qi sea began to collapse toward the center and gradually spiraled into a True Essence vortex.

The moment the True Essence vortex was formed, Cheng Xu’s body also underwent a tremendous change. It was a qualitative change that went from inside out and penetrated deep into the bone marrow. To a certain extent, he had transcended his mortal body and reached a higher level of life.

“Good… I’ve successfully built my Foundation.”

Cheng Xu heaved a sigh of relief. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that his success in the Foundation Building stage was almost stuck on the cut-off point. It was just right.

If he had cultivated for less than two hours, he would have failed.

Of course, in the end, it was because his master, Chi Yao Zhenren’s top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill was enough, and with the foundation laid by the three muscle tendon and marrow changing pills, he was able to succeed this time.

However, just as Cheng Xu was about to consolidate his cultivation and go to rescue Miao Changsheng, a system pop-up window suddenly popped up in front of him.

“Ding!”

[The cultivation of the motherboard has been improved. All the other components have met the requirements. Do you want to proceed with the system upgrade?]

[Note: This system upgrade requires 300MB of hard disk space.]

“What?” Cheng Xu widened his eyes in shock. “Can the system be upgraded?”

However, on second thought, it didn’t seem to be a problem. After all, Windows next door was almost on Win11, so it seemed reasonable for the cultivation computer to upgrade its system.

Moreover, he only had 512MB of hard disk space in the beginning, and the various configurations were also very sloppy. It was true that he could not install a better system.

Now that he had nearly a 1GB hard drive, he naturally had no reason to hesitate.

He directly confirmed the upgrade.

In the next second, Cheng Xu’s mind went blank.

When he woke up, his cultivation in the early stage of the Foundation Building realm had been consolidated, and the system of the cultivation computer had also been optimized, making it smoother to use.

“You spent 300 megabytes of memory to upgrade this?”

To be honest, Cheng Xu was a little disappointed.

However, he didn’t have the time to worry about this. It was already late at night, and his Junior Brother Miao Changsheng’s life was still in danger. He had to go and rescue him as soon as possible.

He came down from the top of the Watchtower and took out the small sword he had borrowed from Wang Xiaolun.

This small sword was only three inches long, and it definitely couldn’t be used as a sword, but it was quite suitable to be used as a flying sword.

Moreover, Wang Xiaolun’s small sword’s material and forging level were very good, and it was quite easy to control.

Using the darkness of the night, he used the Earth Escape technique to grope his way up the mountain and sneaked into the mountain Gate of the Jade Pure Sect from the dark.

There were scattered devil cultivators patrolling all over the mountain Gate, but it was not a problem for Cheng Xu.

The key was that he did not know where Miao Changsheng was being locked up.

Just as Cheng Xu was about to use a stupid method to search them one by one, a familiar figure walked out of the hall in the distance. It was the familiar Demon Prince.

“hahaha, little fairies, big brother is here!”

At this moment, the Demon Prince had just recovered from the losses of the chaotic storm and was ready to take advantage of the night to recover the lost profound Qi in his body.

Therefore, he found a random person and brought him to the cell where the cultivators of the righteous path were locked up.

“I’m not bragging, but the quality of those righteous path fairies is really good. They’ll definitely satisfy the Demon Prince.” The subordinate who led the way had a flattering expression.

“Is that so?” The Demon Prince became more and more excited. “Hurry, hurry, hurry. My little ancestor is already unable to endure the thirst.”

“Okay, please follow me.”

Cheng Xu saw everything and immediately followed behind secretly.

From the conversation between the two of them, it could be heard that the bloody demon church had not only captured Miao Changsheng and his companion, but also a few female cultivators of the Orthodox Sects.

Of course, Cheng Xu was not interested in the disciples of the other sects. His main goal was to rescue Miao Changsheng. If the conditions allowed, he would consider saving the others.

On the way, he fumbled behind a patrolling devil cultivator and looked into his eyes that were as deep as black holes. The devil cultivator instantly fell into a daze.

“Whoosh!”

Then, he used his Vital Essence to control the small sword and pierced it through the fiendish cultivator’s head, easily finishing him off.

“Is this the power of the Foundation Establishment stage?”

As Cheng Xu sighed inwardly, he quickly changed into the demon cultivator’s clothes, then put on an act and continued to follow the Demon Prince and his companion.

Not long after, the Demon Prince was brought into the cell by his subordinates.

The two fiendish cultivators who were guarding the cell closed the door and continued to stand guard.

Cheng Xu disguised himself as a fiendish cultivator and hurriedly walked towards the prison door. As expected, he was stopped by two guards. “This is an important place in the prison. No entry is allowed.”

“Uh, I came here with the Demon Prince.”

“Didn’t the Demon Prince just enter?” the guard asked in doubt. “What are you doing here?”

“It’s like this. The Demon Prince left in a hurry and forgot to bring something very important.”

“What is it?”

“Cough, cough, a type of medicinal pill used to liven things up.” Cheng Xu said, pretending to be mysterious.

When the two heard this, they instantly understood. “Tsk, tsk, the Demon Prince knows how to play. Okay, go in. After you’re done, come out quickly!”

“Alright,” he said.

Just like that, Cheng Xu successfully entered the cell.

As for why he didn’t kill the two guards directly, it was mainly to prevent the patrolling demonic cultivators from detecting him.

The two people guarding the prison door had disappeared. How could the patrolling demonic cultivators not come to see the situation?

The prison cell was quite large, and a faint fishy smell filled the air. It looked like the place where the Jade Pure Sect used to rear Spirit beasts, but it had now been transformed into a prison cell by the blood demon.

There were also a few devil cultivators patrolling in the corridor of the cell. They were scattered, which made it convenient for Cheng Xu to take attendance one by one.

He sneaked behind one of the fiendish cultivators and patted his shoulder.

The moment the demonic cultivator turned around, he was stunned by the attack of the Evil Eyes of Ten thousands Arts. Then, he was easily killed by the small sword.

After repeating this a few times, the devil cultivators on patrol in the cell were all cleaned up by Cheng Xu.

In the depths of the prison, a woman’s desperate scream and the Demon Prince’s perverted laughter could be heard.

“Fairies, don’t be afraid. I’m here to enlighten you!” The Demon Prince laughed maniacally. “If you don’t want to suffer physical pain, listen to big brother obediently. Crawl over and kiss this Demon Prince’s feet. Show your submission.”

“You’re dreaming!”

“You don’t want to? Then don’t blame big brother for not being polite. The night is long, big brother has many tricks to play with you!”

“Bastard, come at us if you have the guts. What kind of skill is it to bully a woman!”

“Go, go, go. Block those two men’s mouths. What a killjoy.”

Cheng Xu followed the sound and used his evil eyes to see the situation from afar.

He was so perverted.

“Damn, it can’t be such a coincidence, right?” Cheng Xu stood rooted to the ground in a daze.

The four female cultivators were none other than the beautiful girls team that Hu Jiaojiao had formed.

At this moment, Hu Jiaojiao had completely lost her usual coquettishness. Her face was pale and she was curled up in the corner of the cell with her three teammates.

Cheng Xu took it all in and was delighted.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the other three beautiful girls had no enmity with him, he really wanted to wait a little longer and let Hu Jiaojiao experience what it meant to be cruel.

‘Hey what a coincidence.’ he thought

Perhaps it was because of Hu Jiaojiao’s vicious mouth, that the Demon Prince had chosen her first.

The Demon Prince grabbed Hu Jiaojiao’s hair and said, “Be good and open your mouth. Otherwise, I don’t mind destroying your little face.”

Hu Jiaojiao screamed and struggled in pain. Her eyes were empty and filled with despair.

“Hahaha…”

While Hu Jiaojiao was screaming in despair and the Demon Prince was getting carried away, Cheng Xu was resting in the dark. He was quietly recovering his true energy and waiting for the best opportunity.

After all, that Demon Prince strength was extraordinary. It wouldn’t be that easy to kill him in one strike.
