The Flowing Cloud Matriarch Began Strengthening Her Body
Jiang Liu only stopped after he had completely run the Nebula Extinction.
Sitting cross-legged in place, meditating to recover from previous depletion, while simultaneously absorbing vital energy and Spirit Power Particles for cultivation.
Seeing that Jiang Liu had finished his meditation, Elder Xingkong, the guardian, quickly came in and said to Jiang Liu, "Jiang Liu, the sect leader is looking for you."
Jiang Liu finished his practice, stood up, smiled at Elder Xingkong, and said, "Understood, Elder Xing Kong."
This Elder Xing Kong used to protect Jiang Liu's cultivation alongside Elder Xingyun, but Elder Xingyun has now been transferred.
This time, Jiang Liu was cultivating here, and it was once again the Elder Xing Kong who came to protect him.
Jiang Liu then leaped into the air and flew towards the place where Flowing Cloud Matriarch cultivated, which was in a dense forest deep in the Back Mountain.
In the previous few years, because Jiang Liu had occupied the place where Flowing Cloud Matriarch cultivated, this place was newly opened up for Flowing Cloud Matriarch to use for cultivation.
Jiang Liu knew of this place, so he came directly here.
When Jiang Liu arrived at the dense forest, Flowing Cloud Matriarch was sitting cross-legged in meditation. The trees around the square had been completely cleared.
Night had fallen, and the Starlight seemed dimmer than the previous night, but it did not affect the cultivation of the Star Cloud Saint Art.
Jiang Liu saw that the body of the Flowing Cloud Matriarch was surrounded by storms of primordial Essence Particles, which were not much different from those he Primal Qi Storm when cultivating the Star Cloud Saint Art.
However, there was no Starlight power within the Primal Qi Storm. That's why Flowing Cloud Matriarch said that no Starlight power was attracted down to strengthen and temper the body.
Jiang Liu glanced at Flowing Cloud Matriarch's cultivation, but couldn't find the specific reason behind it.
After completing one cycle of circulation, Flowing Cloud Matriarch stopped, feeling quite satisfied with the abundant vital energy within his body.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch looked up and saw Jiang Liu, and said with a smile, "You've arrived, so let's begin!"
Jiang Liu nodded, and then sat down cross-legged not far from Flowing Cloud Matriarch.
Jiang Liu began to circulate the Star Cloud Saint Art. Before long, an even more violent and massive Primal Qi Storm the one that Flowing Cloud Matriarch had just absorbed formed out of thin air.
Then, within this Primal Qi Storm, silver cylinders appeared, drawing down the Star Power from the heavens.
Moreover, the Star Power that Jiang Liu attracted tonight was even greater than that last night.
Last night, what attracted attention were only tiny lines, about the size of silver snakes; tonight, however, they are much thicker cylinders.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch stared at Jiang Liu with a look of shock. She had not expected that the Star Cloud Saint Art that Jiang Liu cultivated tonight would be even more powerful than the one he had used last night.
Immediately, Flowing Cloud Matriarch also began to circulate the Star Cloud Saint Art, and soon a similar Primal Qi Storm arose out of thin air.
After Jiang Liu guided the Star Power that he had absorbed into his dantian, he did not continue to distribute it to other parts of his body.
Instead, it tried to guide it out of its body and towards Flowing Cloud Matriarch.
Soon, the Star Power that Jiang Liu guided must have sensed the shared primordial energy and directly joined Flowing Cloud Matriarch's Primal Qi Storm.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch channeled the Star Power that Jiang Liu had guided, along with the Essence Particles absorbed by the Star Cloud Saint Art, into his dantian.
As soon as the Star Power entered Flowing Cloud Matriarch's dantian, Flowing Cloud Matriarch felt a numbing sensation throughout his body.
Then, Flowing Cloud Matriarch, despite the numbness in his body, circulated the Star Power within his dantian once before guiding it out.
Suddenly, the Star Power seemed to become much gentler. After guiding the Star Power out, Flowing Cloud Matriarch directed it towards the meridians in his body.
Before long, Flowing Cloud Matriarch felt pain in her sternum, which told her that she had begun to strengthen her body.
Not only did Flowing Cloud Matriarch not feel any pain, but he even smiled.
For her, who had cultivated for many years and suffered countless hardships, these pains were nothing.
Immediately, Flowing Cloud Matriarch accelerated the operation of the Star Cloud Saint Art. This time, the operation of the Star Cloud Saint Art not only produced a storm of Essence Particles, but also contained a wisp of faint silver thread.
Seeing Flowing Cloud Matriarch's physical reaction, Jiang Liu immediately knew that she had succeeded and had begun to strengthen her body with the Star Power.
Afterwards, Jiang Liu continued to circulate the Star Cloud Saint Art to cultivate and strengthen his body. After all, the Star Power that could be drawn down tonight was more than that of last night, and he couldn't afford to waste any time.
Instantly, two storms of Essence Particles enveloped Jiang Liu and Flowing Cloud Matriarch.
However, within Jiang Liu's Primal Qi Storm, there were rows of silver cylinders.
Jiang Liu absorbed all the Essence Particles and Star Power into his dantian. The Essence Particles continued to expand, increasing the solid area of primordial energy within his dantian.
The Star Power was guided from the dantian and directed toward the tenth bone to further strengthen the body.
Jiang Liu felt that the pain tonight was even more intense than the pain last night, but Jiang Liu gritted his teeth and endured it.
Within the primordial Essence Particles storm of Flowing Cloud Matriarch, there were only wisps of tiny silver snakes.
However, this is enough for Flowing Cloud Matriarch for the time being, since this is the first time tonight that she has used the Star Power to strengthen and forge her body.
Only after the body gradually adapts can it absorb more Star Power.
Judging from Jiang Liu's physical performance tonight, once his body adapts, he will guide more Star Power down to accelerate his physical enhancement.
However, even though the Star Power guided down by Flowing Cloud Matriarch was not much, it was still enough for her to handle.
Judging from the occasional trembling of Flowing Cloud Matriarch's body, it was clear that he was not feeling well.
Jiang Liu and Flowing Cloud Matriarch continued their cultivation together until the moon was dim and the stars were sparse, and the sky was about to brighten, before they each stopped.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch opened his eyes, glanced at Jiang Liu, and smiled. He was about to say something to Jiang Liu.
Suddenly, she seemed to smell a foul odor emanating from herself.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch's expression changed instantly. Before he could even greet Jiang Liu, he vanished from Jiang Liu's sight in a flash.
Jiang Liu stared blankly at the spot where Flowing Cloud Matriarch had disappeared, wondering what had happened to her.
Then, Jiang Liu saw a large pool of sweat and some black grease where Flowing Cloud Matriarch was meditating, and immediately knew what was going on.
It turns out that this is the body's rotten blood and impurities being expelled through the skin after the body has been strengthened, and these things don't smell very good.
That's why Flowing Cloud Matriarch ran off in such a hurry, without even having time to say goodbye to Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu smiled and didn't say anything, because he was already completely used to these things when he cultivated alone, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
Although Flowing Cloud Matriarch is not young, as a woman, loving beauty is probably in her nature.
Especially someone like Flowing Cloud Matriarch, who probably spends a lot of effort to maintain her beautiful appearance.
Immediately, Jiang Liu got up and flew towards his own courtyard.
