Without a word, he slipped the bracelet onto his wrist. Then he closed his eyes and focused inward. The red and black crystal beads in his Dantian, which had been revolving around his Nascent Soul, had inexplicably stopped moving. The True Essence in his Dantian, which had been rotating at a steady pace with the two beads like an ancient nebula losing its momentum, immediately surged and scattered wildly throughout his Dantian.

What exactly is going on? Yue Qianchou was at a loss for what to do about this unusual phenomenon. The situation in his Dantian was different from others, and he didn't even have anyone to ask for advice. The only course of action now was to remain unchanged and wait and see, without forcibly interfering.

Suddenly, he seemed to see the nascent Nascent Soul within him stir, and his attention immediately focused on Nascent Soul. He saw the Nascent Soul's delicate face flushed red, its little head lifting and lowering repeatedly, accompanied by a few kicks in its tiny arms and legs. It seemed as if something was blocking its breathing...

Yue Qianchou panicked. Could it be that the poison of the Seven-Colored Mist had taken effect? Damn it! If his Nascent Soul was poisoned to death, wouldn't his cultivation be ruined?

Just as it was wondering what to do, the Nascent Soul suddenly raised its head and opened its mouth, then sneezed. A tiny white light was exhaled with a "poof." The Nascent Soul then took a few comfortable breaths and gradually calmed down.

Yue Qianchou felt slightly relieved, as long as his Nascent Soul was alright. His attention then turned to the white light that was flying around wildly in his Dantian, wondering what was blocking his Nascent Soul's breathing.

Just then, as the Nascent Soul returned to normal, the two beads, one red and one black, that had been resting at the Nascent Soul's waist, gradually began to rotate again...

Yin and Yang move, and Qi arises! The scattered True Essence in the Dantian gradually follows the movement, and the chaos slowly returns to order.

The white light that was surging wildly in the Dantian was slowed down by the rotating True Essence, and Yue Qianchou finally saw its true appearance. It turned out to be a white crystal bead, just like the Hei Er beads, only the color was different.

Yue Qianchou immediately understood; it was a crystal formed from Nascent Soul absorbing gold elements. But what was wrong with this thing? Little Red and Little Black were so well-behaved from birth, obediently drawing circles around the Nascent Soul, but this one had to be a little naughty? It really was Little White; it might have something wrong with its head.

However, no matter how disobedient Little White was, it couldn't resist the inevitable trend. The centripetal force generated by the rotating True Essence gradually led it to the side of the Nascent Soul, where it bumped into Little Red without any apparent reason. Little Red immediately shone with a red light.

Little White seemed startled. It hadn't gone far when it was pulled back by centripetal force, bumping into Little Black again. Little Black then emitted a chilling black light, seemingly as a warning.

Little White retreated again, but couldn't escape the pull of centripetal force. Helpless, it gently slipped between Little Red and Little Black. It weakly flashed white light, as if saying, "I'm round too, I can shine too, give me a place!"

Seeing that the white bead also emitted light, the red and black beads shone even brighter. As they rotated, they moved closer together, finally making way for Little White. The distance between the three beads immediately became equal, forming a tripod-like arrangement, and they all rotated around the waist of the Nascent Soul.

Yue Qianchou was amazed; these three beads seemed to possess a spirit!

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the matter was over, the three beads shone even brighter, their red, black, and white rays intertwining and enveloping the seated Nascent Soul in a tri-colored glow. At the same time, the beads spun faster and faster, seemingly overly excited by the addition of a new friend.

These three are too naughty! Yue Qianchou had just smiled knowingly when he realized that something was going to go wrong. These three were being a little too mischievous.

The True Essence within his body was swirled into a tornado-like formation, gradually drawing towards the three beads, until finally, all the True Essence in his Dantian was gathered between the three beads, compressing it to a True Essence thickness. His Nascent Soul was completely enveloped by the True Essence, its true form obscured, and its Nascent Soul unknown.

Damn it! What the hell are those three bastards doing?! Yue Qianchou, his eyes tightly shut, was drenched in sweat from the pain on his forehead. As the three beads spun faster and faster, there was nothing left in his Dantian for them to sweep over, and as a result, his entire Dantian was slowly shrinking...

"Damn! "Yue Qianchou immediately grabbed two large handfuls of high-grade Spirit Stones from the iron boxes inside his bracelet and channeled the Spiritual Qi from the dozens of Spirit Stone directly into his Dantian.

However, this amount of Spiritual Qi wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between the three beads, and it was quickly swallowed up. Without a word, Yue Qianchou's first priority was to replenish his Dantian, otherwise the pain would be unbearable—this was internal strife!

One handful after another of high-grade Spirit Stones were pulled out, but it still wasn't enough for the three guys to mess with. Two handfuls of purple supreme-grade Spirit Stones were pulled out, and a surge of Spiritual Qi flowed from his meridians to his Dantian. A cool sensation reverberated within his Dantian, Yue Qianchou let out a comfortable groan.

However, his comfort lasted only a short while. The Spiritual Qi in the two supreme-grade Spirit Stones in his hands was drained, while the three guys continued to devour them, emptying their bulging sacs of Spiritual Qi in the blink of an eye. Yue Qianchou panicked a little, grabbing two more supreme-grade Spirit Stones and frantically sucking them up, wishing he could drown the three guys with his Spiritual Qi. But the three beads remained obstinate, unafraid of anything!

So the two sides began to compete. Yue Qianchou poured Spiritual Qi into his Dantian, and the three beads indifferently accepted it all...

As dawn broke, outside the Misty Forest, the cultivators from various nations all wore grim expressions. Yue Qianchou had actually tricked them, promising to break out from here that night. Everyone had made thorough preparations, but that guy hadn't made a single move.

The group looked at each other, all thinking the same thing: how could they trust the enemy? Yue Qianchou might have already run away somewhere else. How could they be waiting here? Were they stupid?

So the cultivators from various countries sent messages back, indicating that Yue Qianchou might have escaped and requesting close monitoring. They would remain in the area to search, to prevent Yue Qianchou from escaping by trickery. After all, no one knew the situation in other parts of the Misty Forest, and if he couldn't escape from elsewhere, their stakeout would be worthwhile.

The group wouldn't just wait idly; they began sending out a large number of people to search the Misty Forest...

Yue Qianchou was completely unaware of the passage of time. In short, he had already absorbed all the nearly ten thousand supreme-grade Spirit Stones in that large iron box, which meant nearly one hundred million high-grade Spirit Stones!

However, the three beads were still spinning there. Yue Qianchou gritted his teeth and grabbed one of each of the dozen or so divine-grade Spirit Stones remaining in the box. The Spiritual Qi contained in the two shiny black Spirit Stone was immeasurable. With a slight inhalation, the Spiritual Qi surged into his meridians, making Yue Qianchou almost want to throw them away.

He endured the excruciating pain of the Spiritual Qi washing over his meridians. He slowly reduced the absorption rate, continuously pouring the energy into his Dantian... The blissful feeling that made one's soul float away filled his entire body, Yue Qianchou held the two Spirit Stones, groaning with pleasure.

The two black divine-grade Spirit Stones slowly changed color. After a long time, the black gradually turned into purple, and the purple gradually faded, turning into an amber-like golden yellow... until it became transparent and then a dead gray!

After the Spiritual Qi within the two divine items was completely absorbed, the three beads gradually slowed down their rotation, eventually coming to a complete stop, their dazzling three-colored light gradually fading. They seemed to have tired of playing, or perhaps they were waiting for something.

The tangled True Essence began to slowly disperse, and the nascent Nascent Soul within gradually revealed its true form. To Yue Qianchou's surprise, the chubby baby had lost its initial baby fat and had become an innocent little boy, although it was still the same size as before.

Just as Yue Qianchou was staring in astonishment, the boy who was sitting cross-legged suddenly stretched his limbs, yawned, and slowly opened his two tightly closed eyes, curiously looking around. When he saw Yue Qianchou's Divine Sense fixed on him, he also stared back at those clear, Spiritual Qi eyes.

Huh! He can see my Divine Sense? Yue Qianchou felt that the boy was looking directly into his eyes, so he tried to move his Divine Sense to the side of the boy, and the boy turned his head to look at him as well. It turned out that the boy really could see his Divine Sense.

The two stared at each other for a long time. The little boy seemed a bit tired, and yawned again, covering his mouth. He then sat cross-legged and took a deep breath. A wisp of white True Essence mixed with Spiritual Qi was inhaled, and when he exhaled, it had transformed into a thick, almost tangible strand of white True Essence. He continued this cycle of inhalation and exhalation in this way.

As he began to breathe again, the red, black, and white beads started to spin faster again, and after reaching a certain speed, they began to maintain a constant speed...

Everything returned to normal. Yue Qianchou waited a while, and after confirming that everything was indeed normal, he opened his eyes. Looking up at the sky, he thought to himself that it was already dawn. He figured those people outside must be really annoyed at being stood up!

Unbeknownst to him, he had already been there for three days. Looking down at the golden altar, which was piled high with Spirit Stone devoid of Spiritual Qi energy, he silently recalled the process of absorbing Spiritual Qi and was shocked by what he found.

Not counting high-grade Spirit Stones, tens of thousands of supreme-grade Spirit Stones are equivalent to one hundred million high-grade Spirit Stones, and those two divine-grade Spirit Stones- grade spirit stones are worth two hundred million high-grade spirit high-grade Spirit Stones. In other words, he absorbed the Spiritual Qi from more than three hundred million high-grade Spirit Stones in one go.

Good heavens! His nascent Nascent Soul consumed three hundred million high-grade Spirit Stones in one go? He gained absolutely nothing, only a blank stare. And then he just went about his business as usual? Yue Qianchou rubbed his forehead, laughing and crying at the same time, then suddenly paused, slightly stunned... His Nascent Soul had opened its eyes and was still stretching. According to Nong Zhu, this was a sign of breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage!
