Just About to Run, and You Say You've Achieved It!?

After a satisfying meal.

Xiao Huohuo clumsily tidied the bowls and chopsticks on the ground.

After finishing, he stared at Chu Feng for a while, his expression hesitant, as if he had something to say or ask, but after hesitating, he gave up.

Closing the toilet door, Xiao Huohuo slapped his face, saying with some annoyance:

"Master couldn't possibly not see that I still can't cultivate spiritual energy."

"The reason he chose not to help me must be because he trusts me enough, trusts that I can comprehend the profound mysteries on my own."

"How could I even think of asking Master?"

After talking to himself, a trace of decadence still lingered on Xiao Huohuo's still childish face:

"Three days have passed now, and there's still no sign of anything."

"Could it be that I'm not cut out for martial arts, nor for qi cultivation?"

Suddenly, his expression became firm:

"No, since Master was willing to teach me this method of the Great Dao, it must mean I definitely have talent in this area."

Calming his inner turmoil, Xiao Huohuo sat on the creaking bed board, closed his eyes, and began to breathe according to the cultivation method given by Chu Feng.

Outside the thatched hut, Chu Feng stood still for a long time, his brows furrowed.

He lowered his head and pondered:

"He looked at me for a long time just now, could it be that he can't cultivate and has started to doubt me?"

As soon as this terrible thought appeared, Chu Feng shook his head vigorously and denied it:

"No, he must have wanted to ask me because he couldn't cultivate spiritual energy, but he held back."

"It must be like this."

Having reached this conclusion, Chu Feng's brows remained unrelaxed.

Because neither of the two situations above was good.

Xiao Huohuo still couldn't comprehend any spiritual power.

To reassure himself these past few days, he had tried it himself, but also achieved nothing.

It was very likely that this method simply didn't work.

He paced back and forth, sighing with each step.

The scorching sun hanging high in the sky had unknowingly sunk below the mountain valley.

As evening approached, the sky and earth darkened, the air grew cold, and a chill permeated the forest.

Yet the young man sitting with his eyes closed inside the house was covered in sweat.

Xiao Huohuo still frowned tightly, exhaling according to the exhalation technique.

Inhaling through the tip of his nose, circulating through his entire body, then relaxing his muscles and expelling it from his body.

While performing the breathing exercises, he silently recited and circulated the cultivation method given by his Master.

With each cycle, something seemed to pass through his body, but it was always fleeting.

Unknowingly, Xiao Huohuo's body began to heat up.

He was stunned for a moment:

"It must be the medicinal power of the Blood Ginseng starting to take effect."

It was like lying in a furnace.

With each breath, he felt his skin begin to burn, his muscles ache, and even his blood felt scorching hot.

Sweat and impurities were expelled from his body in large quantities, and soon the entire bed was soaked.

In this state, Xiao Huohuo felt an unprecedented comfort in both his mind and body.

Even his perception had become much clearer.

Suddenly, within his tightly closed eyes, a crimson rosy glow illuminated the dark world.

Xiao Huohuo trembled all over, his breathing becoming somewhat erratic.

This, was it the spiritual energy his Master spoke of?

Xiao Huohuo was so excited that he wanted to open his eyes and reach out, but he immediately calmed down, thinking silently in his heart:

"Right, Master said that seeing spiritual energy isn't enough, only absorbing it into the body counts as true success."

"I haven't even entered the gate yet."

Thinking this, Xiao Huohuo completely calmed down.

And the exhalation technique continued, circulating with the heart method's breath.

The rosy glow in the dark world was slowly drawn into his body by him...

Outside the thatched hut, Chu Feng could no longer sit still, pacing and muttering to himself:

"No, I can't wait ten days. Ten days is too long."

"I must first think of an excuse to get Xiao Huohuo to find some martial artists to take me out before he loses trust in me."

"Get out first, then find a chance to run away."

"Otherwise, if too much time passes and Xiao Huohuo is completely disappointed, and asks me how to refine qi, I won't be able to give a satisfactory answer, and then it will be dangerous!"

Chu Feng slapped his thigh, his expression immediately firming up.

That's right, that's what I'll do!

However, as soon as this idea appeared, he lost the mood to continue planning.

A blue light screen naturally popped up, floating before his eyes.

At the same time, a cold electronic voice sounded in his ear:

[Ding, congratulations to the host's disciple for Spirit Absorption into Body]

[Ding, tenfold return successful!]

[Host: Chu Feng]

[Age: 20]

[Cultivation: Spirit Absorption into Body Great Perfection!]

Chu Feng stared at the subtitles before him, stunned for a moment. He clutched his head with both hands, his face full of disbelief:

"It worked, it really worked!"

"Spirit Absorption into Body, it actually worked!?"

Even seeing the prompt on the light screen, Chu Feng still found it somewhat unbelievable.

He had made up the cultivation method!

Was this disciple's talent so strong?

In just three days, a made-up cultivation method could actually be practiced?

Immediately, he looked towards the thatched hut again.

As expected, in the pitch-black line of sight, a faint rosy glow lit up inside the thatched hut.

Chu Feng clenched his fists excitedly, the shock in his eyes completely turning into ecstasy!

There was actually spiritual energy, which meant cultivating immortality was entirely feasible!

Moreover, if he took this successfully tested cultivation method out, with the system's blessing, and absorbed more people with great fortune, wouldn't he be able to become an immortal ancestor, dominating this world?

Suddenly, without any warning, a pure energy surged up from within his body, spreading throughout his entire being.

A surge of spiritual energy erupted, causing his robes to billow as if a strong wind had swept past, rustling loudly.

With the injection of this energy, he suddenly felt as if his mind had been opened, and his thoughts had become much clearer.

Chu Feng immediately calmed himself down, closed his eyes, and circulated his qi and fortune.

The spiritual energy within his body roamed through his limbs and bones. Before he could even run the cultivation method he had made up, the spiritual energy seemed to be guided, seeping into his muscles and bones.

A slightly hot sensation seemed to integrate into every cell, and his body felt an unimaginable comfort.

His bones and muscles creaked, and as various sensations of soreness and pleasure emerged, his body felt an unprecedented fullness.

His entire body was filled with strength!

In just half a cup of tea's time, Chu Feng underwent a complete transformation.

With his eyes tightly shut, which should have seen nothing, it was as if a new world had opened. Streams of red rosy glow appeared before him.

He immediately understood that it was the manifestation of spiritual energy!

Finally, after the energy had been infused for the duration of half an incense stick, it began to stabilize.

Chu Feng opened his eyes, a slight smile on his lips as he looked at his hands.

Faint red light emanated from them.

At this moment, after the spiritual power had circulated through his body, his ten acupoints were filled with spiritual energy, connecting into a single area.

With just one more step, he would be able to enter the Qi Refining Stage!
