Cultivation

Xiao Chen smiled mysteriously, his handsome face giving nothing away.

Seeing the mysterious smile on Xiao Chen's face, Meng Er felt curious but did not ask any further questions.

Inside the Mountain Cave at the Xiao Family Back Mountain.

Xiao Chen had instructed Meng Er that if anyone came to the Xiao family looking for him, she was to notify him at the back mountain. He now needed to enter seclusion to cultivate and improve his Dou Qi cultivation and physical body.

Xiao Chen looked at the wooden basin before him. It was filled with emerald-green liquid—Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

However, it was not a single bottle of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, but more than ten bottles' worth, which was why it had turned emerald green.

Moreover, the Xiao Family Back Mountain lay opposite the Magical Beast Mountain Range, where the Dou Qi was denser than in most places. It was the perfect place for secluded cultivation.

Xiao Chen removed his clothes and entered the wooden basin. Naked, he sat cross-legged with his eyes tightly shut, forming a cultivation hand seal before him.

After entering his cultivation state, Xiao Chen's chest rose and fell slightly, his breathing carrying an extremely steady rhythm. As time passed, strands of Dou Qi followed his breaths and finally slipped into his body.

The liquid clung to Xiao Chen's skin and seeped into his body through his pores, nourishing his bones and cleansing his meridians.

The early stages of Dou Qi cultivation primarily involved widening the meridians and tempering the body, strengthening the meridians to lay a foundation for condensing Dou Qi within the body in the future.

This cultivation process had to proceed step by step, without relying on even the slightest external aid. Otherwise, when the Dou Qi in one's body gradually grew stronger in the future, the meridians would be unable to withstand its increasingly powerful impact, ultimately resulting in severed meridians and death.

Xiao Chen naturally understood this well. Cultivation had to be taken one step at a time, so he rarely relied on pills to improve his Dou Qi cultivation—at least not in the beginning. As for the future, that was another matter.

At this moment, sweat appeared on Xiao Chen's somewhat youthful face, as though he were enduring some sort of pain.

Using multiple bottles of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid naturally increased the medicinal effect severalfold, while also greatly accelerating his absorption of Dou Qi from Heaven and Earth.

At that moment, the Dou Qi surging through the surrounding world swept crazily toward the Mountain Cave where Xiao Chen was located. His body was like a black hole, endlessly absorbing the Heaven and Earth Energy flooding madly into him.

The Chaos Bloodline within Xiao Chen's body had begun operating the moment he entered his cultivation state. The Chaos Bloodline could accelerate the absorption of energy from Heaven and Earth, and with the assistance of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, his speed of absorbing Dou Qi from Heaven and Earth was now countless times faster than that of an ordinary person.

The bones, flesh, blood, limbs, and organs within his body were being scoured and tempered by Dou Qi. Sweat poured down Xiao Chen's face as he endured the pain brought by the cleansing of his meridians, yet he did not cry out. Instead, he hurriedly began silently reciting the cultivation formula of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength in his heart.

As Xiao Chen began silently reciting the formula, the pain on his face visibly faded. A faint, indistinct phantom appeared behind him. Looking closely, it was a somewhat illusory giant elephant.

During this period of cultivation, Dou Qi continuously flowed from outside the Mountain Cave into it, while soft popping sounds occasionally rang out from within Xiao Chen's body.

Hearing the soft sounds from within his body, Xiao Chen knew that Giant Elephant Micro-Particles had awakened.

Cultivation passed slowly amid his relentless, sleepless training. The sunlight shining into the Mountain Cave gradually weakened, and the scorching temperature slowly fell as well.

One day, Xiao Chen, seated cross-legged in the wooden basin, fluttered his eyelashes slightly. His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"I never expected that cultivating with the Chaos Bloodline and Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid together would be so fast. In just one month, I've already reached Seven Stages of Dou Qi. And more than twenty Giant Elephant Micro-Particles have awakened. Including the ones awakened before, I now have thirty Giant Elephant Micro-Particles in total," Xiao Chen muttered to himself in shock.

This cheat-like cultivation speed was more than ten times faster than his previous speed.

One giant elephant represented one hundred thousand jin of Giant Elephant Power. Thirty giant elephants meant three million jin of Giant Elephant Power.

Xiao Chen could feel the boundless strength contained within this body. Moreover, he could sense that his physical constitution had also grown much stronger. He thought that this was likely the benefit brought by cultivating the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength.

Over the past month, apart from eating, drinking, and attending to bodily needs, Xiao Chen had practically lived a life of reclusive, grueling cultivation. The final result had not disappointed him either: Seven Stages of Dou Qi and the awakening of thirty Giant Elephant Micro-Particles.

Xiao Chen had not expected that cultivating with the Chaos Bloodline and Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid together would make his cultivation speed so fast.

One had to know that the foundation of Dou Qi cultivation was especially difficult. There was no shortage of people who spent ten or even twenty years reaching the ten stages of beginner Dou Qi.

Of course, once one became a true Dou Zhe, their cultivation speed would greatly increase. Before becoming a Dou Zhe, a year might only increase one's Dou Qi by a single stage. Yet after becoming a Dou Zhe, one might soar several stars in a single year.

Xiao Chen's dark eyes looked at the liquid in the wooden basin. The originally emerald-green liquid had now turned into clear water, because the medicinal effects of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid had been absorbed by him. There were also some impurities in the water, impurities cleansed from the meridians within his body.

Just then, Xiao Chen heard someone calling for him from atop the cliff. Recognizing the familiar voice, he knew it was Meng Er.

Looks like the materials Ya Fei prepared have arrived.

Xiao Chen suddenly rose from the wooden basin, letting the cool water run down his body. He lazily stretched, put on his clothes, and headed toward the top of the cliff.

When he reached the top of the cliff, Xiao Chen saw Meng Er. She had changed into the Purple Dress he had bought for her. A smile rested on her delicate little face, her features exquisite. Her full, proud breasts rose beneath the dress, while her long dark hair fell to her slender, willow-like Small Waist, so narrow that it could barely be grasped in one hand.

Beneath her dress were a pair of long, fair legs. Though Meng Er was only fourteen or fifteen, her figure had clearly developed very well. Once she grew up, she would surely become a breathtaking beauty capable of toppling kingdoms and cities.
