Jacob found an open area surrounded by trees and climbed up the highest tree. "I still don't know what that energy was or what the Qi condensing stage is but it seems like this is like those xianxia novels I read because I was bored". "Wait a second if this is like those xianxia novels shouldn't everyone be speaking Chinese why do I understand what they are saying?". "Maybe when I crossed over I learned the language so it appears like everyone is speaking English?". "Anyway since I sort of figured out the situation, that golden light was me breaking through levels and this energy I feel must be Qi! This is great! I've always wanted to be in one of these cultivation worlds so I could use my modern knowledge to smoke some people!!". "Since I know a lot about physics, chemistry and math I should be proficient in everything!! Pill making will be a breeze, array making is just logistics based and is very similar to programming, and my martial arts skills will be unparalleled if I just apply some physics knowledge in tandem with Qi!"." let me try to create some skills" *Jacob hops down from the tree using Qi to manipulate the air to make him fall slower* *once Jacob touches the ground he tries to come up with some more ideas on how to use Qi and science* "Ok so for the first move I want to see if I can manipulate the Qi in the surrounding air instead of using my internal Qi" * Jacobs idea went off without a hitch! He used his understanding of how to control Qi inside his body and his knowledge on how to exert it from his body and he concentrated on an area in front of him* *He then used the Qi outside his body and formed a blade* "hmm this blade seems useful in combat but it is quite large and noticeable so I should make it as small as I can and compress the Qi to keep the power output the same!" * Jacob then compressed the Qi in the blade several hundred times and shrunk it to the smallest size he knew of which was the size of an atom which no one in this time period could even fathom how small it was* "Yes!! I did it! Usually in those cultivation stories I read they would give martial art moves names so I'll just call this "nanonettle"! This is great now I can pretty much kill anyone quickly without them knowing!" *just as he finished making the "nanonettle" he made a salad out of those herbs he got from that servant*. *just as he was about to finish eating the salad he felt the energy inside of him well up so he instinctively went into a cross-legged position and closed his eyes* *the same golden waves that he released the first time emanate from his body. This time the waves were larger and spanned out for miles* *after about 5 minutes the waves subsided and he opened his eyes* " Woah I think I just broke through again but I think this time I broke through only 2 small stages" ." I want to have strong internal energy even though I can control the Qi outside my body without using any of my internal Qi. I have to get more internal Qi so I can heal faster if I ever get injured". *so Jacob sat down again and this time he focused on the location where his inner Qi was*. "In cultivation Manhua, I remember that this thing is called a Dantian and to breakthrough, you have to take in Qi and put it inside this area and then expand it". "Since I know how to manipulate the Qi outside of my body I'll just draw in a large amount. How about I take in Qi from a 1-mile radius!". *Jacob used his control over outside Qi and pulled it in * "ok now that I pulled some in I should fill my Dantian then make it bigger" *Jacob used the Qi inside his Dantan and used it to expand his Dantian by 1,000 times.*. * Jacob then broke straight through to the peak stage though his Dantian is extremely large he didn't know how to form a foundation nor did he know much about any of the other levels* "wow I feel I just did something I bit taboo" *as Jacob opened his eyes all of the plants and wildlife within a 1-mile radius were all withered and dead due to his overdrawing of spiritual Qi* "Yeah maybe I should find a better place to cultivate! Oh maybe I should try to join one of those groups. What were they called again? Ehh it doesn't matter let's just go to the city"
