"Ding-dong!"
"The time for sign-in has arrived, do you wish to sign in?"
As Hun Han leaned against the window, calmly observing the world and licking the lollipop in his hand, the system's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Sign in!"
"Ding-dong!"
"Congratulations, sign-in successful, item obtained: a box of Foundation Lollipops!"
"Damn it, another box of Foundation Lollipops, do they really think I'm a child?" Hun Han clicked his tongue inwardly. Out of four time sign-ins, three had resulted in lollipops.
Regardless of Hun Han's mood, the system's voice continued to sound mechanically.
"Ding-dong!"
"System kindly reminds you that there are seven days until the next time sign-in."
"Seven more days. Fine, it's time to advance and become a Fighter!"
Hun Han didn't hold high expectations for the reward of the next time sign-in. In his understanding, among the system's three sign-in functions, time sign-in yielded the lowest-tier and most bizarre items.
Tomorrow, Hun Han would embark on his journey. He was heading to the Black Corner Region to complete his third location sign-in mission.
With his omniscient perspective, Hun Han knew exactly what kind of place the Black Corner Region was. Advancing to become a Fighter would undoubtedly give him an extra layer of protection for his life.
Of course, the reason Hun Han dared to enter such a perilous place with only the cultivation of a Fighter was because he possessed the Primordial Sacred Body. Currently, Hun Han's Primordial Sacred Body could withstand the attacks of a Dou Master. As long as he was careful and not too arrogant, he could survive in a place like the Black Corner Region. Furthermore, Hun Han needed to temper his physical body through constant battles.
After a few days of continuously eating candy, Hun Han's cultivation had finally reached the Fighting Qi Ninth Stage.
In just two or three days, his realm had advanced from having no Fighting Qi at all to the Fighting Qi Ninth Stage. If he were to tell anyone this, they probably wouldn't believe him.
However, this was an undeniable fact.
Hun Han put away his half-licked lollipop, touched his Storage Ring, flicked his finger, and took out an egg with cracks.
That's right, it was an egg.
Speaking of this egg, it wasn't an ordinary egg. It was a Pill that Taishang Laojun had accidentally invented in his youth. Eating this egg would guarantee a 100% success rate in breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage and entering the Qi Refining Stage. Its effect was comparable to Qi Gathering Powder.
Hun Han opened his mouth and swallowed the Pill in one gulp. Instantly, a faint coolness spread in his mouth, and after a moment, a warm, pure energy surged from his mouth into his body, finally seeping out from his skin.
Shortly after, a barrier-like substance condensed around his body. At first glance, it looked like a golden egg. This must be the origin of its name.
Moreover, an incredible scene unfolded.
After the golden barrier formed, Hun Han discovered with surprise that the Dou Qi within his body could no longer leak out. This meant he wouldn't have to worry about his realm regressing due to the loss of Dou Qi when condensing his Qi Vortex later.
Not only that, but while the golden barrier prevented the internal Dou Qi from leaking out, it could also slowly gather external Dou Qi and channel it into Hun Han's body.
Dou Qi wouldn't be lost, and it would even increase. It was likely that even a complete waste could condense a Fighting Qi Vortex within their body.
The Dou Qi gathered from the outside world seeped into Hun Han's meridians through his skin. The intense pain made Hun Han involuntarily grit his teeth.
Hun Han took a deep breath and formed a strange hand seal with his fingers. As his hand seal changed, all the Dou Qi in his meridians was immediately drawn and rapidly compressed towards his lower abdomen.
To condense a Fighting Qi Vortex, one could only rely on soul perception to compress them. As Hun Han's will compressed it, the originally pale white Dou Qi began to turn milky white.
As the compression continued, the milky white mass of Qi began to resist. An undeniable repulsive force resisted the drive of Hun Han's soul perception.
The resisting force was not weak, but fortunately, Hun Han's soul had merged with two souls. The strength of his soul perception far surpassed that of an ordinary Fighter. Therefore, the repulsive force only held on for a moment before Hun Han easily broke through it.
A soft, muffled sound echoed from Hun Han's lower abdomen. The repulsive force had disappeared, replaced by a feeling of abundant energy.
"Success!"
Hun Han broke into a joyous smile. He let out a gentle sigh, closed his eyes, and his consciousness gradually sank into his body. In his lower abdomen, a palm-sized milky white vortex was slowly spinning. Around the vortex was a layer of milky white energy gas resembling a nebula.
Familiar with the storyline of Battle Through the Heavens, Hun Han knew that the energy in the current vortex was not called Dou Qi, but true Dou Qi. The two were fundamentally different.
The golden barrier outside Hun Han's body had not yet disappeared, and Dou Qi gathered from heaven and earth continued to flow into the vortex in his lower abdomen.
The next day, after Hun Han washed up and was about to leave the inn, he was stopped by the innkeeper.
"Young master, where are you going?"
"Is there something else?"
"Young master, if I may be so bold, will you be continuing your stay at our inn?"
"No."
"In that case, please settle your room fee?"
"Didn't someone settle it last night?"
"You mean the young lady you brought with you?"
"Mm." Hun Han nodded. He clearly remembered instructing Ya Fei to settle his room fee before she left.
"Young master, you jest. Not only did she not settle the room fee, but she also took our shop's five-hundred-year-old Ginseng."
"What?" Hun Han was taken aback.
A five-hundred-year-old Ginseng was worth over a hundred Gold Coins!
"She left this note for us. She instructed us to give it to you if you left!" The innkeeper handed Hun Han a small piece of paper.
On it, it read: Master, Ya Fei is worried about you going to such a dangerous place as the Black Corner Region. Be careful when you're out and about. Don't trust anyone easily, and come back to see Ya Fei often when you have time.
Hun Han looked at the note and gave a wry smile. As the saying goes, after teaching a disciple well, the first one they betray is the master. This saying was absolutely true.
Immediately, Hun Han took out the box of Foundation Lollipops he had obtained from the sign-in and instructed the innkeeper to deliver it to Ya Fei. Of course, it was cash on delivery. Finally, he spent one Gold Coin to buy a fine horse and set off westward, heading towards the Black Corner Region.
