"Master, these are the factors that affect the speed of Iron Bone Kung Fu cultivation. The numbers in parentheses are their weights."
Next, would the owner like to see their own data?
Luo Qing: "Display!"

...
"How come my spirit attribute is so high? Was the original owner born with superhuman strength? Meng Bao, what are your standards?"
Although Luo Qing hadn't fully understood every single detail, he could tell that the original owner was basically a blank slate, with only her spirit attribute standing out.
"I'm just a mortal. The three treasures of mortals are 1, 1, and 0!"
The three treasures of a cultivator are the physical body, magical power, and primordial spirit, which are also known as essence, energy, and spirit.
Although mortals do not possess magical powers, they still have vital energy and blood.
However, mortals' souls are not concentrated, so they have no primordial spirit at all.
"That doesn't make sense. The original owner's spirit attribute reached 4 points, which is definitely a rare talent. How could she become the worst in cultivation? Did she spend all her time dating?"
Luo Qing frowned, feeling that the original owner of this body was about to kill him.
"Mengbao, according to the data, my cultivation efficiency in spiritual roots is 25% and 20% respectively, and in the three treasures it's 24%, which adds up to 69%, right?"
From Meng Bao's summary alone, it can be seen that Iron Bone Skill is a relatively easy skill to cultivate. It only requires the spiritual root and three treasures that the cultivator already possesses, and does not require a special physical body or auxiliary items.
"That's right, Master. 69% is your basic cultivation efficiency. You can use the spirit stones you have to amplify it, or you can try to obtain Bone Strengthening Pills."
"How much exactly?!"
Luo Qing quickly asked.
This is the core purpose behind his creation of this system.
Meng Bao had previously mentioned that spirit stones and bone-strengthening pills could accelerate the cultivation of Iron Bone Technique, but the exact amount of acceleration was quite vague.
The situation is critical, and Luo Qing must pinpoint the time to the "day"!
"Low-grade spirit stones increase the power of Qi Refining cultivators by 25% for 1 hour; Bone Strengthening Pills increase the power of Iron Bone Technique by 500% for 6 hours."
Meng Bao gave the answer instantly.
"In other words, if I cultivate using low-grade spirit stones all day, my cultivation efficiency is 69% * 1.25, which equals..."
"That's 86.25%, Master!"
"What about the standard time for cultivation?"
Luo Qing knew very well that efficiency was meaningless if it wasn't paired with standard time.
"Master, the following is a schedule for cultivating at 100% efficiency, for 6 hours a day, in a normal spiritual energy environment, from the first level of Qi Refining to the twelfth level of Qi Refining: "
January (peak of Qi Refining Level 1), February, April, August,
1 year, 3 years, 6 years, 9 years
12 years, 16 years, 20 years, 24 years.
Total duration: March 1992.
"No wonder having four spiritual roots is practically considered useless. Even with plenty of spirit stones, it's incredibly difficult to reach the peak of the twelfth level of Qi Refining before dying of old age!"
Seeing this cruel truth, Luo Qing couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.
Although a full-day retreat can save half the time, for cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, a retreat of two or three months is possible, but a year or two is simply unrealistic.
After all, even if a person can endure it, where would they get the spirit stones and the fasting pills if they were in seclusion all the time?
"Meng Bao, how strong is the spiritual root aptitude of a Heavenly Spiritual Root?"
Luo Qing was determined to find out the difference.
"The more spiritual roots one possesses, the greater the innate depletion; however, a Heavenly Spiritual Root without depletion can reach an extreme value of 20!"
This means that not only are the four spiritual roots scattered, but the total number of innate spiritual roots is also small.
For example, Luo Qing currently only has 14 innate talents, while the three spiritual roots share 16, and the two spiritual roots share 18.
A Heavenly Spiritual Root is a single spiritual root of 20!
"In other words, with my four spiritual roots, I can only reach the standard efficiency of 100 by working my life away, while the Heavenly Spiritual Root can reach 125 just by relying on its spiritual roots."
By switching to a more suitable cultivation method and then slightly increasing its power, the efficiency can be surpassed by 300%.
Moreover, this world has always taken from the poor and given to the rich, so it's no wonder that those with heavenly spiritual roots can establish their foundation in their early twenties and form their core before they're even a hundred!
Pulling her thoughts back to her current predicament, Luo Qing returned to her present predicament.
According to this timetable, with his current cultivation level, it would take him 1.6 months of standard cultivation time to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
If we calculate based on an efficiency of 69%, that's roughly 69 days.
"One Bone Strengthening Pill can replace five days of arduous cultivation. I can get a maximum of two pills a week, eight pills a month, which adds up to forty days."
Adding the original thirty days... it's exactly right!
Luo Qing's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again.
Just as he had considered, he had only just broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining. How could he possibly be a match for those fellow disciples who had already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining a few months ago and were still diligently practicing spells!
"There's still a chance! The real competition is about strength, not cultivation level!"
Since there's no way to overtake others in cultivation through shortcuts, let's try something else!
Luo Qing wasn't inflexible. If a fight only depended on cultivation level, then everyone could tell who was stronger just by releasing their aura, so what was the point of fighting?
However, in other aspects, Luo Qing doesn't have many choices, or rather, she only has one.
"Meng Bao, give me the Blood Bone Fist, with 'Power' as its core."
"Yes, Master! 1, 2, Done!"
"Blood Bone Fist (Tier 1, Low Grade)"
Skill restrictions: None
Basic Power: Gold Spirit 2 (60%), Purity 2 (40%)
额外加成：血气1（50%），煞气1（25%），戾气1（25%），法力2（20%）
Current total base power: 50%
...
"Mengbao, what is Golden Spirit? What is Pure Essence?"
These two were the things Luo Qing couldn't understand the most on his own panel.
"Both metal spirit and earth spirit represent the strength of the five elements in the master's magic power, and can generally be improved by refining the five elements of external objects."
The term "pure" refers to the unit energy of the master's magical power, which can generally be improved through cultivation.
Both of these can effectively enhance the power of spells, and they have different weights in different spells.
"Alright, these are two more things that can't be improved in a short time."
Luo Qing shook his head and immediately focused his attention on the four amplification items in the "Extra Bonus" section.
He knew about the Blood Qi, the main source of power for the Blood Bone Fist.
The main purpose of practicing Blood Bone Fist with heroic young men is to mobilize the most blood and energy in the shortest amount of time.
This ability is directly related to the essence attribute among the three treasures, and Luo Qing has an advantage in this regard.
As for the malevolent energy and the violent energy, Meng Bao didn't need to explain them. Based on his understanding of this world, Luo Qing knew that they were two kinds of evil forces that were highly compatible with blood and qi.
The inclusion of mana as an additional bonus is easy to understand; using more mana will naturally amplify the power of spells most directly.
Otherwise, how could a fireball casually thrown by a Nascent Soul cultivator flatten a small hill?
