Xiang Yu sat in his meditative position as the familiar system screen materialized before him:
[Body Refining: 11th Layer (20/11,000) (+20/11,000)]
[Qi Gathering: 1st Layer (20/100) (+20/100)]

His eyes scanned through the information. The first detail that caught his attention was the twenty points gained in body refining. He had a thoughtful expression as he wondered when he had gained the points, he then realized that he had exerted his body quite a bit when building the house so it was probably from there. The act of cutting, carrying, and assembling materials had served as a form of body training.
The qi gathering progression surprised him even more. He had actually gained twenty whole points. When he practiced before, he hadn’t gained that many points. He attributed this unexpected boost to his extensive practice in transforming pure qi into fire element for the new technique. After the system’s doubling, his qi gathering now stood at forty points. If he gained just ten more points during the day, he would break through to the second layer after the next reset. This rate of progress wasn’t bad at all.
As for the Fire Palm technique itself, he had managed to accumulate only ten points. Despite the modest number, Xiang Yu wasn’t disappointed. He had only practiced for a limited time, and it was a high-grade technique that naturally required more effort to master. The doubled points brought it to twenty, which was still commendable progress for a single day.
His cooking skill had also increased by twenty points, likely due to the meals he had prepared for his junior sister. He had indeed outdone himself with those dishes, even preparing a 5th grade meal. This observation triggered another realization—he hadn’t eaten anything since morning. With his Transcendent Dao Physique, he didn’t need to eat to sustain himself so he had completely forgotten about food.
He suddenly had a bold idea. Now that he was alone on the mountain, he had the perfect opportunity to leverage his fifth-grade cooking skills. Not only could he advance his culinary abilities, but with his spiritual roots, he could also fully absorb the benefits of spiritually enhanced food to accelerate his cultivation.
With this in mind, Xiang Yu formulated a structured daily routine. After midnight, he would focus on mind cultivation. From morning until noon, he would dedicate himself to cooking various spiritual foods, using them to enhance his qi practice. The afternoon to midnight would be reserved for technique practice, particularly the new Fire Palm and other combat skills.
Realizing he had become distracted by the bed-making project, Xiang Yu hurried back to the kitchen. He needed to adhere to his planned routine. He began preparing the wild boar, employing his fifth-grade cooking techniques to infuse the meat with spiritual energy.
Though this was his second time preparing fifth-grade meals, it would be his first time actually consuming them himself. When the dishes were finally ready, their aroma filled the kitchen with tantalizing scents.
He took his first bite, and a wave of heavenly flavor washed over his palate. But although the taste was remarkable, it paled in comparison to the effects that followed. As he continued eating, he could feel his qi rising steadily within him, the energy accumulating and strengthening with each mouthful. free\we,bnovel.c o(m)
After finishing the meal, Xiang Yu immediately sat in meditative posture. The overwhelming qi circulating inside him needed guidance and refinement. He directed the energy through his meridians, feeling it strengthen and expand his qi pathways.
The circulation continued, the energy growing more and more condensed until suddenly...

Is he improving too fast lol
7th grade cooking was able to heal a golden core so I thought that I would be nerfing him if 5th grade wouldn’t be able to trigger a breakthrough.
Xiang Yu was late in cultivation but so many of his other stats have increased a lot so the cultivation speed might be quite fast and I don’t want to nerf him.
Also, it’s my time hearing about vicuñas. I was looking for a source of wool for mc’s bed and I found it. (they’re also a protected species so he probably shouldn’t be eating them but oh well)
