18 Qi Condensation Realm

James continued his schedule as usual and his rank gradually rose. Sometimes James' schedule would deviate a little bit if he had made a breakthrough in his comprehension of battles or if he broke through a realm so that he could consolidate his foundation, but most of the time he stuck to his regular schedule.

One day when James was in the middle of cultivating there was a major change that was about to occur. On the outside James looked completely normal but on the inside it was a completely different story. His Spiritual qi was currently going in a frenzy going all over his body strengthening everything from his muscles to his skin to his organs.

Eventually James' Spiritual qi gradually came to a stop, all of the sudden his entire body seemed to give off a little bit of a golden glow that gradually got stronger until it was still faint but noticeable when it stopped. suddenly James' spiritual qi started to gradually speed up, it was moving in a uniform pattern throughout James' body with his beast core as the beginning and end.

His spiritual qi just kept getting faster and faster until james started to feel like he was about to explode. All of the sudden James could hear the faint sound of a shackle being broken until he felt an immense wave of strength pass over his body. All of the cells in James' body seemed to have come alive and were jumping around in joy, James felt immense energy being radiated from his body. James had stepped into the Qi Condensation realm.

After a little over 2 months James had finally succeeded in raising his cultivation realm to the Qi Condensation realm. If anyone saw how quick James had moved from being a mortal to the Qi Condensation realm they would vomit blood. His speed was incredibly quick, there was nobody on this planet that could match his speed in cultivating to the Qi Condensation realm.

Even in the entire universe James' speed could be considered in the top 10, if one were to confer he would just barely make it into the tenth spot. The fastest known time to advance to the Qi Condensation realm from being a mortal was about 1 month but James managed to do it in about two and a half months. Although James used spirit crystals to increase his speed that was what everyone that had the opportunity to use them did.

Eventually all of the spiritual qi in James' body started to die down and steadily flowed in a special pattern in James' body over and over. At this time the Chaos whirlpool in James' dantian seemed to get stronger gathering qi from his surroundings and not just what touches him. Now that James was in the qi condensation realm he had enough control over spiritual qi to deviate it from its path in the air and attract it towards his body. This delighted James because it meant that the spirit stones would just add on to what he could already gather causing his cultivation speed to take another leap.

James slowly opened his eyes and he noticed that his body had grown slightly, although it wasn't too much he was now the size of head instead of the size of a fist. This caused James' view of his surroundings to change slightly causing James to feel a little disoriented.

Gradually James started to feel a bit better so he tried to walk a little bit so that he could get used to it. Although it took a little over an hour James finally got used to his new size, just as he was about to continue on and start to cultivate again since it was the middle of the night James heard a noise come from the system.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations on reaching the Qi Condensation realm host. This is just the beginning of cultivation there is still a vast ocean of cultivation out there for you to see. Currently you have barely taken a step into the ocean, you have to continue on your journey until you reach the peak of cultivation one day.

As a reward for reaching a new realm the system has gifted you a random martial art roulet ticket for you to use plus 50 points.

In addition to that two new functions have been unlocked, one is the Library function. Any books that you come across can be added to the library for you to view at a later time to help memorization. The second function is a dimensional space that can help provide a space for you to cultivate in, currently there is no functions to the space other than somewhere you can cultivate but for the price of points you can upgrade it to add functions.

Congratulations host and good luck on your journey to the Meridian opening realm.]

The first reward would be very useful to James, the thing that he was lacking the most right now was a martial technique that he could use. All of the martial techniques in the store were expensive and he currently didnt have enough points for the technique that he has been looking at. So this would add to his combat prowess greatly. As for the second reward although it was useful it was something that could be gotten by killing beasts so he wasn't as excited about it rather than the first reward.

Something else was that James was very excited about the second function that he had unlocked, currently he had no use for the first function since there were no books for him to add to it but he knew that in time it would become useful. But at the current moment the function that is the most useful is the dimensional space function.

If what he had guessed about the Dimensional space was correct than if he spent the right amount of points it would become incredibly useful in increasing his cultivation speed and possible even his comprehension speed.

James decided that he would take a look at the system so that he could look at what has changed since he has gotten to the qi condensation realm. Upon opening the menu James noticed that two new tabs had popped up.

[Name - James Smith

Lifespan - Infinite

Age - 3 months old, mental age - 20 years

Cultivation level - Qi Condensation Rank 1

Spiritual qi needed to reach next level - 0/100,000

Race - Aspidochelone

Points - 372

Library

Dimensional space]

As expected the two tabs were the new functions that he had gotten from advancing to the Qi condensation realm. First James wanted to take a quick look at his attributes before he moved on to the new functions.

[Health - 1,200/1,200

Spiritual qi - 1,500

Strength - 150

Constitution - 120

Dexterity - 80

Intelligence - 130

Charisma - 50

Wisdom - 40

Perception - 70

Luck - 40

Stat points - 50]

Now that James was in the Qi Condensation realm his attributes have gone under a explosive increase. When James looked over his attributes he noticed that his dexterity was still lacking compared to his other attributes so he decided that he would add 20 of his stat points to it so that he could get it a bit higher. Suddenly When James was adding stat points he noticed that the amount didnt add up he should have only have 45 instead of 50 since he has advanced 6 times and he previously had 15 points. he should have gained only 30 points but he had gained 35 points.

'Hey Winter why did i gain more stat points than i should have' Asked James

[When the host reached the Qi condensation realm the stat points gained per rank has increased to 10, causing the increase.]

Now James understood the reason and he inferred that it was because in the qi condensation realm his strength would grow more rapidly than when he was in the body refining realm so he put that off to the side for now. He continued to add 20 stat points to dexterity causing it to become 100 and his stat points to decline to 30.

Now it was time for James to take a look at the new functions that the system gained.
