Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System
Chapter 98: Alex's Cultivation Method

"I know, Vesa. I will strengthen my foundation, but I will need many mana crystals for it since I doubt I can use Qi energy to strengthen my internal organs.

I will need to replace something to exchange for it.

Hmm, maybe I could catch some more spirit beasts for him."

Mingyue then sighed. She knows this can wait for later. For now, she needed to recuperate and settle the anchor for the secret realm.

Looking toward the sphere hovering in the air, MingYue said, "Vesa, let's start."

Information started pouring into Mingyue's mind, and her qi began moving toward the sphere and manipulating it based on Vesa's instruction.

The pattern on it started glowing, making the surrounding air vibrate. BOOM! Qi exploded outward from the sphere, filling the qi mine with its light.

After the light subsided, what was left was a shimmering portal to the secret realm. Mingyue's lips curled upward into a smile; she took out a mask and then wore it before entering the secret realm again.

Even though everyone in the Bai Yue sect should be loyal under the slave contract, Mingyue doesn't want them to replace out her cultivation has fallen, particularly her little brother and uncle.

A week passed, and Mingyue and Alex focused on strengthening their cultivation realm.

Alex succeeded in making a Qi generator and sent it over to Mingyue; this drastically changed the way of life for everyone in the Secret Realm.

With electricity, people who usually use torches to light the night now use LED lights. Hot water became available 24/7, and many old tools they got used to are now thrown away, replaced by new items from Alex's world.

The apartment building is fixed now, with the progress almost completed; they just need to put on the tiles and finish on the wall, but the first two floors are already habitable now.

Some people have already moved in there, making others feel envious of them.

The leap is so large that even though they know about cultivation and Qi, they still feel like seeing magic.

Their quality of life practically leaped from the medieval era to modern society; from being used to living in wooden huts, they can now live in a fully concrete building with proper insulation and air conditioning.

From plank beds to real mattresses, drinkable water, which they usually put inside a big jar, can now be drunk directly from the tap.

But this is only the start; after the first building is finished, they will continue to the next one and then start building accommodations for the sect disciples.

From the outside, the apartment building looks like a giant, tall pagoda, but when people come inside, they will feel like they are entering an entirely new world.

Irrigation and farming also started getting automated with many new machines; this allowed them to reduce workload and send people to go mining the Qi crystals.

With a steady Qi crystal supply, Alex started mass-producing the Storage Cube. After its first exhibition and demo, the product quickly became a big hit.

Orders flooded over them like water, but Alex rejected every individual order; he only accepted big suppliers, allowing them to resell the product.

Alex does this to allow his competitors to earn some money, too, sharing the cake. He doesn't want to waste time on business competition.

His time is better used to strengthen himself, as his main goal for now is to go to a category five dungeon.

With all the deals, orders from associations, and some auctions, Alex earned a total of 3 billion dollars, but not all of this was received with money. Some are paid with high-grade mana crystals if possible.

As Alex spent almost everything on a high-grade mana crystal, his competitors started thinking this was the main material for creating the storage cube.

This made other companies buy them in bulk, too.

With high demand, the market quickly had a shortage of high-grade mana crystals, making Alex curse in anger.

The money he gathered evaporated quickly; he didn't just need to buy for his needs but also for Mingyue. Not counting other expenses for the guild and people at Bai Yue sect.

After returning to the secret realm, Mingyue had some talks with Alex, telling him about her situation. Alex felt relieved since there were no lingering wounds on her body other than the need to recultivate.

Alex thought it was a good idea, but he knew it would burn a huge hole in their finances.

Luckily, he had gathered enough Mana crystals to strengthen their internal organs. For the rest, like veins, they use Qi crystals since they're cheaper.

With their foundation finished Alex gained even more understanding of how his cultivation method would work.

First, it starts with their bone marrow being strengthened, which improves the quality of the blood produced to a new level.

It doesn't change much for Alex since he has already started transforming into a progenitor, but for normal humans and hunters, the effect will be very apparent.

In theory, the blood will dramatically raise their immune system and also make them thicker. This means when they are wounded, less blood will get out since it will quickly clot by themselves.

But this is not the biggest change; the new blood is capable of absorbing Mana and Qi directly.

However, for this to work efficiently, they need to strengthen the next organ, the lung.

After being produced in bone marrow, blood will move into veins and then pass through the lungs to acquire oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

But with this new blood, they also absorb any Qi and Mana the person inhales without letting out much waste in the process.

When the lung is strengthened, it will boost this ability since the lung will then be able to hold more Qi and Mana.

From the lung, the blood will next move toward the heart to be pumped through the body, spreading their oxygen, Qi, and Mana.

This process allows Qi and Mana to permeate directly with the vein and every single cell of their body, making the process of the foundation realm automated.

Before, cultivators needed to move Qi by themselves and slowly permeate it into their bodies, but now, since the energy is circulated with every breath, their cultivation will progress every time they take a breath.
