I Can Only Cultivate In A Game-Chapter 120: More Progress

[ Current Integration: 3.1% → 3.12% ]

Victor exhaled deeply. That was the longest single night of his life.

The sensation of the technique finishing was overwhelming. It wasn't a rush of power like a cultivation breakthrough—it was subtler. Deeper. Like a part of him had unlocked that had always been missing. He could feel the integration happening even now. It was slow—but it was constant.

Elder Mo descended slowly from the air, his robe fluttering lightly as he landed. His aged eyes studied Victor with quiet admiration.

"Well done," the elder said, arms behind his back. "You've done what many geniuses fail to do. With this technique, your bloodline will no longer stagnate."

Victor turned his gaze to the moonlight. "It didn't feel like a single night. It felt like…weeks."

"That is the illusion of harmonization," Elder Mo replied. "When the spirit fights to sync with the very foundation of who you are, time itself bends within the spiritual plane."

Victor slowly stood and stretched his limbs. He was sore, but energized. It was an odd combination—like being pushed to the brink of exhaustion and immediately handed a cup of revitalizing elixir.

"Take time to increase your integration," Elder Mo said. "Soon your true training begins. What we've done here is lay the foundation."

Victor nodded. "Understood."

Hours later, Victor sat cross-legged inside the private cultivation booth in his courtyard with his back straight and hands resting on his knees.

His skin was glowing and arrows appeared all over.

Unlike the last time, when he'd grinded for nearly twelve hours and only gained a miserable 0.1% in bloodline integration, today was different.

The effects of the Bloodline Resonance Technique Elder Mo taught him was in full play.

> Ding!

[Bloodline Integration +0.2%]

[Total Bloodline Integration: 3.3%]

Time Elapsed: 2 hours

Victor cracked one eye open and grinned. "Finally..."

He leaned back slightly, letting the energy swirl deeper into his meridians. The Void Emperor Bloodline was notoriously difficult to integrate but Victor was pushing it further, step by brutal step.

By the end of the day, drenched in sweat and slightly dizzy from the mental strain, the system chimed again.

> Ding!

[ Bloodline Integration +1.6%]

[ Total Bloodline Integration: 4.7% ]

[ Void Energy Circulation Improved ]

[ Physique Reaction: Increased internal energy stability ]

Victor exhaled long and deep.

"Man... I feel like someone shoved lightning down my throat and called it a smoothie," he muttered while rolling his neck until it cracked.

Still, progress was progress.

That much integration in one day was monumental compared to his previous sessions.

"Definitely not there yet, though. The Ancient Grove probably needs, what… 10%? 15%?"

He'd have to ask how high his integration needed to be before he could head there. But for now, there was something else nagging him.

Ever since Victor had broken through to the Core Formation Realm, he hadn't done much actual cultivation.

He'd been too focused on other things, bloodline integration included. Now that he was in a private booth that boosted his cultivation speed by two times, it would be stupid not to take advantage of it.

And the funniest part? He wasn't even an official Disciple of this sect.

The Violet Spring Sect had rules—strict ones. Inner Court disciples worked their butts off for years for the perks Victor was getting.

Meanwhile, here he was, enjoying luxury-grade treatment because of the City Lord's arrangement with Elder Mo. He wasn't even supposed to have access to this booth. No wonder the Inner Court guys glared at him like he'd stolen their girlfriends and kicked their puppies.

"Sorry not sorry," Victor muttered as he settled in for another session.

He shifted focus from bloodline resonance to his cultivation. Qi from the surrounding mist flooded into his body and compressed into his core, circulating through his spiritual pathways with increasing speed.

Each rotation smoothed his dantian and expanded his inner reserves.

> Ding!

[Cultivation Progress: Core Formation Realm – Early Stage 5% → 15%]

[Internal Core Stability: Balanced]

[Suggestion: Rest before next breakthrough to prevent spiritual backlash.]

Victor sighed. "Not bad. That's a full 10% in one day. Gotta love luxury cultivation hacks."

"Still not crazily strong but I'm getting there."

With that, he stepped out of the booth.

He walked toward Elder Mo's courtyard with a skip in his step, ignoring the dagger-like glares.

He figured it was time to find out how much integration he needed to access to the Ancient Grove.

But the courtyard was empty.

No Elder Mo sitting by the fishpond. The place was unusually quiet.

He asked a few nearby disciples if they'd seen the old man, but most just shrugged or pretended they didn't hear him.

Victor sighed. "Great. Did I just get ghosted by an NPC?"

Still, instinct told him he wasn't quite ready yet. If he walked into the Ancient Grove now, he'd definitely be rejected.

So, he went back to the booth and resumed grinding.

Another day passed in-game. More resonance. More progress.

> Ding!

[Bloodline Integration: 5.3%]

Victor stared at the number.

"Halfway to ten percent. A day must have passed in the real world already... gotta go..."

With that, he logged out.

---

His body jerked slightly as the headset disengaged. Back in the real world, in his slightly cluttered room—still smelling faintly of mana-charged energy drinks and 3-in-1 shampoo—Victor rubbed his eyes and stood.

"One day out here just like I thought," he muttered while checking his wristband.

While yawning, he checked his phone and noticed a message that said [Your Package Has Arrived]

He walked over and opened the door of their small apartment.

There, stacked neatly outside the door like someone had delivered packages from a mythical Santa, were several gear bags used to store packages.

Two of them had digitalised logos that Victor recognised.

His

eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store.

One box had the minimalist design and white-blue logo of PulseSync Tech—the company that made smart wristbands for gamers and fitness enthusiasts. The wristband itself was inside a transparent display case, along with a note:

> "Looking forward to seeing how Warrior Victor uses PulseSync to bridge gaming and fitness."

The second package was from Manavolt Labs, a nutritional company that had recently blown up online for its mana-infused energy drinks. Their signature cans came in bold blue colors, and they'd even included a handwritten message:

> "Enjoy the first batch of our limited-edition Stormcore+ flavor. Works for the Awakened and the non awakened."
