… …

Two natural days passed by quickly, which, when converted to the current base world, equates to a full ten days~

During these ten days, Liang Yue racked his brains and, after much trial and persistence, ultimately had to admit that his previous ideas were a bit too naive.

In the realm of cultivation, success based on luck and fantasy exists only in fairy tales… …

Originally, Liang Yue thought that after a period of research and exploration, he would eventually see the breakthrough, achieving harmony of all things, unity of man and nature, and the grand unification of man and nature.

But reality ultimately gave him a solid slap in the face.

Thus~ The cultivation plan for the "Everlasting Spring Technique" was officially declared a failure… …

Facts proved that Liang Yue had overestimated the power of the low-level spiritual energy converted from the "Everlasting Spring Technique" and underestimated the resilience of the Purple Dawn True Qi.

Given Liang Yue's current aptitude and physical fitness, the initial cultivation of the "Everlasting Spring Technique" was naturally quite smooth.

After reaching the Acquired Realm, he almost immediately connected with the spiritual energy of the outside world during meditation, drawing it into his body.

After circulating through the meridians, this spiritual energy successfully transformed into spiritual power. However, when this spiritual power began to merge into the dantian and encountered the Martial Dao True Qi, something unusual happened.

Possibly due to an instinct for self-preservation, or a rejection reaction, the Purple Dawn True Qi, which had been lying dormant in the dantian, suddenly activated without warning at the first sign of this spiritual power.

Overwhelming and interspersed with guidance, in less than a breath, it dispersed the spiritual power, then absorbed and transformed it for its own use.

However, Liang Yue wasn't surprised by this. After all, in his opinion, dual cultivation of two different methods wouldn't be so easy.

So, in the following time, he enthusiastically began to circulate the Everlasting Spring Technique again.

Especially after Liang Yue received the innate insights of the Thunderfire Wood, the Purple Dawn True Qi seemed to have begun to produce some subtle changes, becoming more vibrant and resilient.

Trying to absorb and transform it with meager and weak spiritual power was simply impossible!

Thus, Liang Yue suddenly understood a principle~

That is, Martial Dao and Immortal Dao cannot be cultivated at the same time, at least at this stage, it is impossible to achieve with his vision and realm.

Moreover, under the same realm, Martial Dao True Qi is not weaker than spiritual power… …

… …

"Liang Yue-jun, we are going to run the dungeon. Are you coming with us?"

"I won't go. You guys take Little Vajra over there."

"Okay~ Then we're off~"

Watching Teacher Shizuka and the others hopping and skipping, eagerly flying down, Liang Yue couldn't help but curve the corners of his mouth, a trace of peace flowing across his face.

With a flip of his sleeve, the "Everlasting Spring Technique" was put into the storage space, and what appeared instead was the long-unseen "Innate Skill" manual!

There's nothing to say, life still has to go on after all.

With Liang Yue's current Acquired Realm cultivation, when the next trial world is opened again, it will definitely be a world with a higher energy level, so he must now master more powerful power.

Since he cannot temporarily cultivate the Everlasting Spring Technique, a low-level cultivation technique, he naturally has to take a step back and refocus his attention on Martial Dao techniques.

Fortunately, Martial Dao is not inferior to Immortal Dao in any way, and both can lead to higher levels and realms.

Especially~ after Liang Yue came into contact with the mystical Martial Dao innate insights of the Thunderfire Wood.

"If you ask me, it's just that this 'Everlasting Spring Technique' isn't powerful enough. If it were replaced by another world, such as Stellar Transformations, the cultivation system there would directly include Martial Dao!

Starting from the Acquired Realm, continuing upwards, breaking through~ that would be a cultivator. Even a freak who is born with a dantian unable to gather energy can achieve great feats. I'm doing well now… …"

After a burst of complaints, Liang Yue simply slumped into the sofa, casually browsing through the "Innate Skill" manual in his hand.

… …

In recent times, although Liang Yue has focused his main energy on the cultivation and research of the "Everlasting Spring Technique", it doesn't mean that he hasn't done anything else.

He just hasn't done much… …

For example~ Senior Sister Zi, Teacher Shizuka, and others, after learning that he wanted to focus on researching new techniques, took the initiative to take over the task of exploring the map.

Basically, two to three of the young ladies would be dispatched every day, riding Rachel out for a flight.

Although the efficiency isn't very fast, at this rate, the MC map in hand should be able to be surveyed in a few more days.

As for Liang Yue himself, in order to relieve the boredom and depression in everyone's hearts, he also took a day out to take a group of women to New York in the real world for a stroll.

They thoroughly scoured and shopped, purchasing many clothes and supplies, as well as various electrical appliances, computer and mobile phone information tools, and even transportation vehicles.

As for the identity issues of the young ladies, Liang Yue had already entrusted Aunt Liu to handle them yesterday, and he believes that there will be results soon.

However, before officially obtaining their ID cards, the group couldn't travel alone and wander around at will. In their spare time, they could only hide in the Xavier Mansion and surf the internet.

In addition, the most important thing that Liang Yue has done during this time may be the selection of the second dungeon and the placement of the dungeon door next to the "Forest of Miracles".

His luck was not bad this time. The dungeon was randomly selected from a classic old online game.

That is, the civilian newbie main battlefield in the "Legend of Mir 2" world~ "Zombie Cave"!

This dungeon consists of multiple layers of cave maps. At the beginning, the monster levels are not high, and they move slowly, so it is not difficult to eliminate them.

It can also drop various gold coins, red and blue potions, equipment, and even skill books for various professions!

This is very powerful~!

Moreover, although the number of entries and exits to the Zombie Cave dungeon is only three times a day, there is no limit to the number of people each time you enter.

That is to say, in theory, everyone can carry out group operations in this cave!

Liang Yue had previously taken the girls to stroll around the cave. As a result, after three dungeon runs, a total of one mage's "Small Fireball" and one archer's "Double Shot" were brushed out.

This drop rate is simply appalling~

Other potions, gold coins, and equipment were also dropped, but they were mostly low-level goods, not as good as the equipment worn by everyone.

Moreover, at that time, in order to protect the safety of Teacher Shizuka, Nana, and others, Liang Yue did not take everyone too deep into the dungeon.

Each time they encountered a zombie that could release a flash of light, Liang Yue would directly take the girls back the way they came.

Therefore, he is not yet clear about the situation in the depths of this zombie cave.

In addition, in this real-world dungeon, monsters die when they die and will not continue to refresh, but some silver, iron, copper, gold ore, etc. can be mined.

I don't know if it is the special rules in this mine that are working.

When Liang Yue took the small pickaxe from MC and tapped and tapped on the gold, silver, and even crystal mines in this zombie mine, these veins did not explode into rotating small cubes like they do outside, but directly dropped various ores.

The probability of dropping is really puzzling to him.

In short~ it's very low!

But even so, the girls and Liang Yue showed great interest and enthusiasm for this newly released "Zombie Cave" dungeon.

The reason is nothing else~ skills!

This dungeon can drop skills!

Although Gao Cheng Saya and others are still worried about not having magic power, many skills produced in this dungeon cannot be used by them.

But who knows what will happen in the future?

Furthermore, at this time, everyone still has the blessing of advanced skills such as "Elemental Mysteries". Under the cramming-style indoctrination of a large amount of magic knowledge, the young ladies are now all masters in terms of theory!

It shouldn't be too difficult to develop a set of effective magic power cultivation methods~
