App Based Cultivation: I Can Cultivation With Mobile Apps

Chapter 14: Security Manager, Junk Cleanup

As the Divine Mechanism Art automatically operated, the blood energy formed from the Blood Pill was continuously refined and absorbed by Xu Zhengyang.

Precisely because of this.

The baleful aura and remnants of demonic beasts absorbed by Xu Zhengyang kept accumulating within his body.

This caused his mind to be filled with primitive beastly desires such as violence and mating!

As the Blood Pill continued to be refined.

These remnants of demonic beasts merged with Xu Zhengyang's own thoughts, gradually eroding his moral baseline.

In this state.

Xu Zhengyang’s eyes turned blood-red, his emotions became increasingly irritable, and he couldn’t help but think of the graceful figures of the Su sisters.

Xu Zhengyang endured for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

The side effects of the Blood Pill not only didn’t weaken, but due to the increasing potency of the refined medicine, the negative emotions in his mind piled up even more!

"Why are these demonic beast remnants so fierce?"

Xu Zhengyang muttered regretfully, slightly underestimating the power of the remnants and overestimating his own willpower!

Just when Xu Zhengyang was about to lose control of his mind.

Suddenly.

A faint glow radiated from the round square-holed Jade of Tranquil Mind hanging at his waist, which had always had little sense of presence.

It enveloped Xu Zhengyang completely.

With the help of the Jade of Tranquil Mind, Xu Zhengyang's sea of consciousness loosened, and the demonic beast remnants were instantly suppressed!

...

"This item is called the Jade of Tranquil Mind. It has the effects of gathering spiritual energy and calming the mind, perfectly suited for you right now. Take it."

...

Only now did Xu Zhengyang recall what Pei Zhen had said when he handed the Jade of Tranquil Mind to him when he first joined.

"No wonder Senior Brother dared to give me such a potent top-grade Blood Pill so confidently—turns out this jade's miraculous use lies here!"

Xu Zhengyang exclaimed in sudden realization.

That said.

The medicinal power of a Tier 1 top-grade Blood Pill was robust, and as Xu Zhengyang continued refining, his emotions once again turned restless.

Although this restlessness wasn’t as violent as before and still within his tolerance.

Xu Zhengyang really didn’t want to keep maintaining that “pillar-like” state.

"That's right!"

At that moment.

A flash of inspiration struck Xu Zhengyang’s mind as he recalled an app developed in his previous life—now long unused since transmigrating.

"That's right, I still have the Security Manager!" Xu Zhengyang exclaimed excitedly.

In his previous life.

Due to his severe case of digital hoarding syndrome, Xu Zhengyang had installed all kinds of apps in his brain, storing tons of useless data.

As junk data increased day by day.

Not only did they occupy most of his brain’s space, but even his thinking was slowed down by the clutter.

To deal with that junk data at the time.

Xu Zhengyang specifically developed a Security Manager to periodically clean out redundant junk data from his mind.

So as not to clog his thoughts.

But after transmigrating into this new world—where there was no internet.

Compared to the previous life.

The amount of information Xu Zhengyang could access here was pathetically low!

Because of this.

The Security Manager became completely useless in this world, and after a long time, the app hadn’t been opened in over ten years.

After retrieving this app in his mind, Xu Zhengyang didn’t hesitate and immediately activated a function he hadn’t used in years:

【Junk Cleanup】

Moments later.

As the junk cleanup process started running.

Redundant information, useless data, and fragment files in Xu Zhengyang’s brain were marked, crushed, and deleted one by one.

Among the junk data being processed.

Were exactly the baleful aura and demonic beast remnants that had been tormenting Xu Zhengyang just moments ago!

As the junk cleanup continued running.

The demonic beast remnants that had been wreaking havoc in Xu Zhengyang’s sea of consciousness were instantly categorized by the Security Manager.

Immediately after.

Junk files of the same signature were simultaneously batch-deleted in an instant.

Xu Zhengyang’s spiritual platform became clear as day!

"Hoo..."

Xu Zhengyang let out a long breath and said with lingering fear, "Good thing the Security Manager came to the rescue, or else..."

At this point.

Xu Zhengyang finally noticed that he was drenched in sweat, looking as if he had just been pulled out of water.

"This Blood Pill... it really packs a punch!"

Xu Zhengyang smiled bitterly, then casually cast a Tier 1 Cleaning Technique on himself to freshen up.

Right after that.

Xu Zhengyang sat up, opened the visual interface of the Health Manager, and checked the detailed data after consuming the Blood Pill, wanting to quantify his physical cultivation progress.

"If I set my total blood and energy before cultivating the Divine Mechanism Art as 1. Then this single top-grade Blood Pill alone contains about 5 units of blood energy—five times mine! Even if some energy gets lost during the refining process. This one Blood Pill should still raise my blood energy upper limit by at least 3 to 4 units!"

At this point.

Xu Zhengyang was extremely excited and continued, "I have the Security Manager, and it has already identified the characteristics of demonic beast remnants. Even if I fuse the remnants during refinement. The Security Manager can instantly delete that junk data—the remnants in the Blood Pill pose no problem to me at all. So if I have enough Blood Pills. I’m fully confident that within half a year, I can raise my physical cultivation to the Innate Realm and meet Master’s expectations!"

The porcelain bottle Xing Yong had given Xu Zhengyang contained a total of fifteen Blood Pills.

According to Xu Zhengyang’s calculations.

It would take about three days to fully digest the medicinal power of one Blood Pill—these fifteen would last him a month and a half.

"In that case."

Saying so, Xu Zhengyang flipped his hand and took out the Introduction to Formations that Pei Zhen had previously given him from his storage pouch,

Saying, "This is the perfect time to thoroughly digest this book."

...

*

With the foundation laid by the Divine Mechanism Talisman Guide.

Xu Zhengyang found it quite easy to analyze the runes recorded in Introduction to Formations.

That said.

The runes in Introduction to Formations were more complex than those in the Divine Mechanism Talisman Guide; these were all compound runes.

The rules for these runes were similar to Chinese characters.

For instance, "好" can be paired with "看" to mean "beautiful", or with "丑" to mean "ugly"—the meaning changes with the combination.

Runes worked the same way.

Rune A might look simple, but when combined with Rune B, it could display explosive characteristics.

Whereas when combined with Rune 8, it might exhibit flowing characteristics.

Assuming runes were also a language.

Before Xu Zhengyang could deduce grammar or word-formation rules of the rune language.

All he could do.

Was analyze and verify each one individually, then compile them into his own database.
