Purple Qi Entered His Body

Moreover, if the Dao Technique was genuine, it could even improve his aptitude.

This was far too important. His current cultivation speed might surpass that of cultivators with Spirit Bodies or even King Bodies, but that was not the whole story.

He had never had any way to change his constitution before, but if anyone asked whether Chen Xuan wanted a special one, the answer would certainly be yes.

He wished he had a Saint Body.

Possessing a special constitution would greatly enhance his strength.

For now, the Azure Cloud Realm he lived in was only a Small Thousand World, and he could still overwhelm opponents at the same level with his Mortal Body.

But if he went to the Spirit Sea World or even the Primordial World in the future, his Mortal Body would surely struggle more and more.

In short, take a gamble, and a bicycle might become a motorcycle.

Even if the gamble failed, he would only waste one Spirit Awakening Point.

Chen Xuan could accept wasting one Spirit Awakening Point.

With that in mind, Chen Xuan summoned his panel.

[Host: Chen Xuan]

[Qi cultivation: Dao Foundation perfection]

[Body cultivation: early third realm]

[Soul cultivation: early third realm]

[Spirit Awakening Points: 1]

[Cultivation methods:]

[Nine Firmaments Cloud Sea Scripture (Spirit Awakening complete)]

[Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art (Spirit Awakening complete)]

[Cloud Sea Heaven-Observing Technique (Spirit Awakening complete)]

[Dao Techniques:]

[Flowing Cloud Myriad Forms · perfection (Spirit Awakening complete)]

[Flowing Cloud Moon-Chasing · perfection (Spirit Awakening complete)]

[Purple Imperial Dragon Flame · perfection (Spirit Awakening complete)]

[Purple Qi Comes from the East · not yet initiated (Spirit Awakening incomplete)]

The next second, Chen Xuan used his Spirit Awakening Point without hesitation.

[Your Dao Technique "Purple Qi Comes from the East" has begun cultivating on its own.]

[A Mortal Body?]

[With no one to bolster my sky-reaching ambitions, I shall tread through snow to the mountain's summit myself!]

[Purple qi comes from the east, cleansing the sinews and purifying the marrow.]

Within Chen Xuan, the Dao Technique Purple Qi Comes from the East began circulating.

At the same time, a wisp of purple qi descended from the horizon and flowed into his body.

The purple qi spread through his limbs and bones, cleansing his sinews, bones, flesh, and blood.

Chen Xuan could clearly sense his aptitude improving.

The most obvious change was that his perception of the world's spiritual energy had become stronger and more sensitive.

Delighted surprise appeared on Chen Xuan's face.

"Looks like I made the right bet!"

Chen Xuan nearly laughed aloud.

From what he could see so far, Purple Qi Comes from the East could indeed absorb purple qi and improve his aptitude.

As for whether it could temper his Purple Mansion, that should not be a problem either.

He was simply still in the Dao Foundation Realm, so there was no Purple Mansion for the purple qi to temper.

Li Junmo had truly done him a huge favor.

According to the Dao Technique's records, Purple Qi Comes from the East could improve a cultivator's constitution up to the God Body level. For Chen Xuan, who currently possessed only a Mortal Body, that was more than enough.

If Purple Qi Comes from the East could one day advance into a supreme Dao Technique, it might even help Chen Xuan form a Saint Body.

However, acquiring and improving a constitution would take a long time.

Although Dao Techniques could cultivate on their own, Purple Qi Comes from the East was somewhat different.

Purple qi could only be extracted from heaven and earth in the early morning each day.

That meant it could never cultivate nonstop, twenty-four hours a day, like his other Dao Techniques and cultivation methods.

It did not matter. As long as it worked, why ask for a bicycle on top of everything else?

That same day, Chen Xuan contacted Li Junmo.

Li Junmo soon arrived at Chen Xuan's cave abode.

"Brother Li, I've successfully cultivated the Dao Technique. I'll go sign up for the patrol mission in a little while."

Chen Xuan smiled as he spoke to Li Junmo.

Li Junmo was delighted to hear this, but he was even more astonished that Chen Xuan had actually managed to learn it—and in just a few short days, at that.

As far as he knew, quite a few sect elders had redeemed this cultivation method to practice after he sold it to the sect, yet apparently none had succeeded.

This Dao Technique was, in truth, something of a chicken rib: too meager to savor, yet a pity to discard.

He had not managed to sell it for a particularly high price back then, either.

After all, those with poor talent could not learn this Dao Technique at all.

Those with sufficiently good talent had no use for it whatsoever.

It was only of great use to those extremely rare cultivators who possessed exceptional comprehension but lacked cultivation aptitude.

Someone like Chen Xuan.

In fact, Chen Xuan did not even fall into that category. He had only succeeded in cultivating it by relying on his cheat.

Otherwise, this Dao Technique would have been useless to him as well.

"Congratulations, Brother Chen! Sorry for troubling you with my request."

Li Junmo spoke enviously.

His voice was full of envy, almost bordering on jealousy.

Despite possessing only a Mortal Body, Chen Xuan had already achieved Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. Now that he had successfully cultivated Purple Qi Comes from the East, his future Purple Mansion would certainly reach the high grade.

Purple Qi Comes from the East could also improve his aptitude. Chen Xuan's future truly held boundless promise.

"Don't worry. As long as Heavenly Dao Qi still forms in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, I'll definitely find another wisp for you."

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded.

Li Junmo also smiled a little and nodded.

There was no point in dwelling on it. At least he now had a chance at Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

If he could achieve Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, then even if he failed to cultivate Purple Qi Comes from the East and lacked a special constitution, the sect would invest more in nurturing him. Obtaining purple qi source crystals would become easier as well.

After they chatted for a while, Li Junmo took his leave.

Chen Xuan headed to the Mission Hall on Cloud Sea Peak to sign up for the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm patrol mission.

Just as Li Junmo had said, this was hardly a desirable mission.

There would be no additional gains during the mission, only a payment of Contribution Points from the Mission Hall. Once he signed up, the mission was his.

However, the next patrol was three months away, so he still had some time.

Chen Xuan headed to the Marketplace instead.

A few days earlier, he had intended to visit the Marketplace to sell a batch of pills, then buy ingredients for Dragon Pattern Pills and natural treasures that could improve his divine sense. But after running into Li Junmo, he had never gone.

Now he happened to have the time.

Over the next three months, he could improve his strength a little more.

Chen Xuan soon finished his errands and returned to his cave abode.

He activated the grand formation, then summoned the Purple Imperial Dragon Flame to begin refining pills.

[Your Dao Technique "Purple Imperial Dragon Flame" wants to go out and run wild.]

[Stop making me refine pills! I want to go out and get stronger!]

The Purple Imperial Dragon Flame truly could not stand this life anymore.

It was a mighty mystic fire, yet it spent every day here refining pills.

After getting a taste of running wild outside, it now wanted to go out and find flames to devour every day.

"Brother Dragon, bear with the hard work a little longer. Once I've cultivated the first volume of the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art to perfection, I should be able to let you out."

Chen Xuan soothed the Purple Imperial Dragon Flame.

Although his cultivation methods and Dao Techniques would obey him after Spirit Awakening, could wholehearted work and half-hearted slacking really produce the same results?

To get these big brothers to help him wholeheartedly, he naturally had to say a few more nice things and coax them a little.

[Your Dao Technique "Purple Imperial Dragon Flame" says it has seen right through you.]

[It's all a pack of lies. Once you reach perfection in your realm, you'll break through again and need to refine more pills.]

[Your Dao Technique "Purple Imperial Dragon Flame" grows angrier the more it thinks about it.]

[Your Dao Technique "Purple Imperial Dragon Flame" has begun comprehending the Dao and creating a technique.]

Chen Xuan: "???"

Creating what?

Chen Xuan realized he seemed to have pushed the Purple Imperial Dragon Flame too far. It seemed to be cooking up something big.
