Fatty's Made It!

"Brother Xiao, what kind of incense did you light?"

Fatty Wang opened his eyes and saw Ye Xiao inserting a stick of incense into a gap in the table.

The incense was about two palms in length.

As it began to burn.

The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be lured, whether intentionally or not.

It gathered toward the location of the incense.

A mysterious smile appeared on Ye Xiao's face.

"Fatty, keep cultivating and feel it for yourself."

Although confused, Fatty Wang did as Ye Xiao said.

He entered the state of Qi refinement once more.

But at this moment.

Fatty Wang suddenly discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy around him had increased!

Although the increase wasn't massive.

Compared to before, when he had to exert great effort just to draw a little spiritual energy into his body.

It was already a significant help!

The concentration of surrounding spiritual energy had risen!

Fatty Wang found cultivating to be much easier now.

"My god!"

"Brother Xiao, what on earth is this incense!"

"This incense is amazing; it actually has the effect of gathering spiritual energy!"

Ye Xiao smiled mysteriously.

"That is my secret."

"Fatty, if you trust me, just enjoy it."

Fatty Wang nodded vigorously.

"Brother Xiao, I understand. Everyone has their own secrets!"

"Including me; I have my own secrets that I don't want others to know."

"I won't ask anymore, thank you, Brother Xiao!"

Ye Xiao observed the changes in Fatty Wang's Qi refinement.

The spiritual energy entering his body.

Traveled along his blood vessels and meridians, flowing through his internal organs and every part of his body.

The spiritual energy was constantly washing away the impurities in his body while nourishing it, causing every part of him to evolve.

This was the essence of spiritual energy cultivation.

After a while.

Fatty Wang noticed that the concentration of surrounding spiritual energy had increased by another ten percent!

He opened his eyes in surprise.

He suddenly realized that Ye Xiao had lit another stick of Spirit Gathering Incense!

"Brother Xiao, what are you doing?"

"The previous stick hasn't even finished burning yet, why are you lighting a new one?"

Ye Xiao replied, "I wanted to test if the effects would stack if I lit two sticks at the same time."

And just then.

Ye Xiao and Fatty Wang could see with their own eyes.

The spiritual energy gathering in their dormitory was slowly taking shape, appearing milky white.

Fatty Wang said in shock.

"Oh my goodness! Brother Xiao, the effect of your incense is so fierce!"

"Milky white spiritual energy means the concentration of spiritual energy in this place is high enough!"

"It's so dense it's almost condensing into liquid!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Ye Xiao took out another 10 sticks of Spirit Gathering Incense!

He had just purchased these from the [Martial Heart Mall], costing him a full 150 points of Martial Value!

This was no small sum.

Ye Xiao was never a stingy or petty person.

He had always believed in repaying a drop of kindness with a gushing spring.

Furthermore.

Ever since he transmigrated into this world.

Most of the people he encountered had mocked and ridiculed him, with very few showing him genuine care.

Fatty Wang, who stood before him, was one of the few who treated him with sincerity.

Therefore, spending so much Martial Value on Fatty Wang.

Was something Ye Xiao was more than willing to do.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Into the gaps of the table in their dormitory.

He inserted ten more sticks of Spirit Gathering Incense all at once and lit them all!

In an instant!

The density of the surrounding spiritual energy skyrocketed by 100%!

By now.

The floor of Ye Xiao and Fatty Wang's dormitory had become sticky and damp.

These were not some mysterious white liquid.

But the liquid spiritual energy that countless people dreamed of!

"My goodness!"

Fatty Wang was completely stunned and dumbfounded.

"Brother Xiao, in all my years, this is the first time I've seen spiritual energy so dense it turns into water!"

Ye Xiao glanced at the burning speed of the Spirit Gathering Incense.

He reminded him.

"Fatty, each stick only burns for half an hour at most, you'd better hurry up and absorb it!"

Fatty Wang didn't say another word.

He immediately threw himself into a state of focused meditation and Qi cultivation.

Fatty Wang had originally been worried about his slow absorption efficiency.

But now.

His absorption speed could no longer keep up with the rate at which the spiritual energy was liquefying.

In no time at all.

A thin layer of spiritual water had accumulated on the dormitory floor.

Fatty Wang began to panic.

One stick only burned for half an hour.

With twelve sticks burning simultaneously.

Even if he pushed himself to the limit, he wouldn't be able to absorb even a tenth of what was here in that time!

In his desperation.

Fatty Wang did something that left Ye Xiao completely flabbergasted!

He simply gave up on meditation and cultivation.

Instead, he sprawled out on the floor.

And started drinking the spiritual water directly off the ground!

Since he couldn't absorb it fast enough.

He would just use a physical method to take it in!

Drink it all!

Seeing this, Ye Xiao was utterly shocked.

This Fatty is a ruthless man, he thought.

He quickly tried to stop him.

"Fatty, don't do this, it's too dirty."

"If the incense runs out, I'll find a way to get more."

Fatty Wang appeared lazy, laid-back, uncompetitive, and easygoing in his daily life.

But once it truly came to the serious business of becoming stronger.

The attitude, determination, and even the level of ruthlessness he displayed were extraordinary.

Far beyond anyone else!

Even compared to Ye Xiao, he was a step ahead.

At the very least, Ye Xiao truly couldn't bring himself to do it.

Drinking the water directly off the floor.

Even if it was the purest spirit-infused water.

He just couldn't get past that mental hurdle!

"Gulp, gulp!"

"Cough, cough, cough."

Fatty Wang completely ignored Ye Xiao's attempts to stop him.

Even when he choked, even when he was stuffed, he showed no intention of stopping.

Ye Xiao hesitated time and again.

In the end, he did not stop Fatty Wang.

Just like that.

Half an hour later.

The 12 sticks of Spirit Gathering Incense burned to ash.

The spiritual energy gathered in their dormitory began to slowly dissipate.

The room was no longer filled with the dense, milky-white spiritual mist.

The residual spiritual liquid on the floor was also rapidly drying up.

Fatty Wang had been drinking for half an hour.

Finally, he clutched his stomach and lay on the floor, unable to move.

Ye Xiao asked with a complicated expression, "Fatty, are you alright?"

"I... I'm fine... hiccup!"

"It's just lucky... hiccup!... that I mopped the floor this afternoon..."

"Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to drink it."

"My stomach hurts so much."

"This is the sign... the sign of a breakthrough!"

Fatty Wang endured the pain in his body.

He hurriedly returned to a meditative posture.

And his current realm was the second stage of Qi Refining!

Originally, Fatty Wang had thought.

It would take him at least a year to attempt the third stage.

But he never imagined.

With Ye Xiao's help.

He had started his breakthrough to the third stage in just half an hour!

After a grueling hour-long breakthrough process.

Following a long, loud fart from Fatty Wang.

Finally.

Ye Xiao pinched his nose and witnessed with his own eyes as Fatty Wang broke through to the next realm!

Third stage of Qi Refining!

"I, Lord Fatty, have done it!" Fatty Wang was ecstatic.

Beyond that.

Fatty Wang's professional potential had actually advanced along with it!

[Qi Refiner-Rank] evolved into [Qi Cultivator-Rank]!
