Transmigrator's Guide to Conquering Another World

The comprehensive training at Ju Mang Base is the first step in the local cultivation plan of the rabbits, and it's a critical component that must not fail.

Therefore, starting from more than two months ago, the core members have invested a significant amount of energy into this project.

Besides vacating millions of cubic meters of spiritual energy and base space, Ju Mang Base has also stored a large number of various pills.

Among them, there are as many as 150,000 Spirit Awakening Pills, theoretically enough for each warrior to attempt spirit awakening six times.

The quantities of other resources like Cyan Cloud Pills and Body-Protecting Pills are similarly ample.

To put it mildly, the cheapest Cyan Cloud Pills can be eaten like sugar beans, popping two into the mouth without any occasion.

In such a resource-rich environment, the spirit awakening process for the warriors proceeded very smoothly.

Some gifted ones succeeded in one try, the average ones in two or three, and even the less fortunate Fei Qiu in just four or five tries.

Of course, there were those particularly less fortunate ones too.

For example, a warrior named Yue Jianhei took a full fourteen Spirit Awakening Pills to succeed.

However, such extremely unlucky individuals are a minority; most warriors fall into the category of ordinary people.

Take Hong Haiping, for example.

He succeeded in drawing qi into his body during his third Spirit Awakening Pill attempt, thus taking the first step into cultivation.

At this moment.

Having successfully awakened, Hong Haiping looked at his abdomen with curiosity, nudging his comrade Yun Lixin with his elbow, and said:

"Hey, it seems like there's really something in my abdomen here, like sticking a warmer on it."

Yun Lixin, being Hong Haiping's fellow from Yu State and having succeeded in spirit awakening one round earlier, rolled his eyes at this:

"Look at you acting all silly, like a child amazed by sparrows in the village. Would the organization lie about such things?"

Faced with his comrade's mockery, Hong Haiping scratched his head, showing a naive smile:

"I never said I didn't believe it, did I? Just a moment ago, Comrade Wei... oh no, it should be Instructor Wei, even took me flying in the sky!"

He and Yun Lixin were childhood friends, getting along very well, though they were assigned to different units upon enlistment, so they rarely had the chance to meet.

Now, both had been identified as having Spiritual Root qualities and were transferred to Ju Mang Base.

Plus, during the formation of battalions, they were grouped mainly based on their hometowns, allowing the two friends to reunite after so many years.

Subsequently, Hong Haiping looked up at the ceiling, bringing his hands together gently as if he were catching fireflies as a child.

Yun Lixin watched his moves, puzzled:

"What are you doing?"

Hong Haiping brought his clasped hands before his face, looking at the colorless air between them, said:

"Didn't Instructor Wei just say that we're surrounded by something called L17 spiritual... spiritual energy, which is very precious.

I've heard that long-term absorption of spiritual energy can prolong life. It would be great if my parents were here.

Hey, buddy, do you think the ancient Erlang God and Zhang Guolao got their status because of spiritual energy?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Lixin frowned, correcting him:

"Didn't Director Feng say that we're cultivating, not seeking immortality? The concepts of gods and immortals are not to be believed, understand?"

Hong Haiping shook his head, clearly having his own viewpoint:

"It's precisely because I don't believe in gods and immortals that I say they achieved what they did because of spiritual energy.

Look at Instructor Wei, with his flying skills, don't you think he'd be considered a deity in ancient times?"

"Well, not necessarily...."

While Yun Lixin and Hong Haiping were discussing the origins of ancient gods and immortals.

Several hundred meters away on a high platform.

Director Feng and Lin Ziming were coincidentally discussing a similar topic.

However, compared to Yun Lixin and Hong Haiping's somewhat vague understanding of cultivation, Lin Ziming and his companion had a much broader and clearer grasp of information.

For example, they knew that spiritual energy is not a substance currently found on Earth; it is slowly transported back from the Damo Realm.

Also, the core members were planning other initiatives...

At this time, Lin Ziming had just finished instructing some warriors in the nearby battalion on spirit awakening, and upon returning to the platform, he found Director Feng and asked:

"Director Feng, how's the situation on the special battalion's side?"

Upon hearing this, Director Feng raised a report in his hand, smiling:

"Colonel Lin, you arrived just in time, Manager Ou just handed me the statistics.

The results are quite straightforward: all members of Daoist Chen's special battalion successfully achieved spirit awakening.

However, there's a particular statistic worth noting—their spirit awakening efficiency is much higher than that of the regular warrior battalions, with an average consumption of only 1.5556 Spirit Awakening Pills per person."

Lin Ziming glanced at the form, quickly falling into contemplation.

The so-called special battalion is a contrast group specially organized and approved by the core members for spirit awakening.

This group of thirty-six members were not active warriors but pure cultivators from various famous mountains and rivers.

For instance, Wudang, Qingcheng, Mount Song, and the Daoist Ancestral Court.

The reason the core members organized the contrast group is simple, almost similar to Hong Haiping's speculation to some degree:

They hope that through spirit awakening and cultivation, they can restore and decipher part of the truth behind Huaxia's ancient myths, attempting to find traces of cultivation in ancient times.

Huaxia's rich history spans thousands of years, and while human civilization perseveres, legends of gods and immortals also occupy significant portions across dynasties.

From the earliest story of Pangu creating the heavens, to Nuwa crafting humanity, and onto Hou Yi shooting down suns, Uncle Long fishing for turtles, the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, and countless others...

Ancient myths are virtually endless and boundless.

Even upon encountering an ordinary small hill, you'll sometimes see small shrines there.

Nicely, they call it local legends; harshly, it's wilderness deities.

The current prevalent view of ancient myths is that they are totemic constructs by ancient people during their infancy, often embellishing natural phenomena.

For instance, we now know that cold and warm convection overlapping causes frontal rain and simultaneous stratiform clouds.

However, ancient inhabitants misunderstood these natural interactions as the Dragon King summoning and dispersing clouds and rain in the sky.

Similarly, things like ghost fires, known only to a few classmates, are actually phosphorus burning in the air.

On the other hand, some myths remain controversial to this day.

For instance, the "Plain Questions" chapter of the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic documents ancient notions of living to a ripe old age:

"When asked of the Celestial Master, he said: 'I have heard that in ancient times, people lived over a hundred springs and autumns without decline in movement; whereas now, people turn frail at half a hundred years—is it the times that have changed or have humans lost their ways?'"

Before the discovery of spiritual energy, this section was quite disputed.

One segment believed the records in Plain Questions were fabricated, while another held reservations.

Now, with the development of the Damo Realm, this content becomes somewhat intriguing.

Those who knew the inside story were bound to think about what they read.

Moreover.

There are many mystical cultivation texts in Huaxia, existing in a status where there's neither hard evidence to negate nor confirm them.

Among skeptics, it's considered 'complete nonsense', but among believers, it's the true path scriptures.

Previously, the rabbits had researched these transcendent Taoist texts but found nothing conclusive.

For instance, they once discovered an ancient pre-Qin book in seal script, which Patriarch Wei dismissed.

But this doesn't mean there hasn't been any contact with cultivation in the past; perhaps some unknown heritage is hidden within those famous mountains and grand rivers.
