Mediating Mother Qi, Meeting the Beautiful Married Woman Again?
The ten-year simulation ended.
Yu Ke thought back to his decision to descend the mountain and felt endlessly glad.
If he had continued cultivating in the mountains for another ten years, his progress would probably have been slow too, with little in the way of major gains.
At this moment, he was filled with anticipation for the reward.
If a piece of divine gear dropped,
or a golden legend!
Then that would be more than acceptable.
Yu Ke rubbed his hands together, his gaze fixed tightly on the words that were about to take shape, silently praying in his heart.
Before long, the reward was finally revealed.
[Drawing now. Obtained one wisp of Mediating Mother Qi.] [Acquire?]
Looking at the words "Mediating Mother Qi," Yu Ke felt unfamiliar with them, but he did not hesitate for long. In his heart, he silently said, "Acquire."
At that very instant!
The [Kun Void Cauldron] lying dormant deep within his mind-sea seemed to be awakened, trembling faintly as it spread out hazy, chaos-like currents of qi.
Those currents were like chains of multicolored light, pouring into Yu Ke's body, instantly making his frame seem as if it had been enveloped in a faint layer of radiance.
Yu Ke only felt his body go numb and tingly, as if an invisible force were gently kneading him.
That comfortable sensation reminded him of his previous life, of the technique of a certain shop's gold-medal Number 88.
He almost blurted out... extend the session!
After experiencing ten years of simulation, his mind was already somewhat weary.
Drowsiness surged over him like a tide.
Yu Ke could not help yawning. His eyelids grew heavy, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he fell headfirst into a deep sleep.
During the time Yu Ke slept, the [Kun Void Cauldron] within his body did not stop.
The great cauldron continued to rotate.
Outside Yu Ke's body, it formed a small vortex, continuously absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
The radiance on the great cauldron grew brighter and brighter, and the inscriptions upon it became increasingly vivid and lifelike.
Early the next morning, sunlight spilled into the room through the window.
So laaaazy!
Yu Ke opened his eyes blearily on the bed and stretched, having slept exceptionally comfortably.
Very quickly, his senses returned.
"Wait...!"
He rustled about, feeling all over his body. Where was the Mediating Mother Qi he had obtained last night?
A wave of doubt rose in Yu Ke's heart. Could that current of qi have already quietly merged into his body?
He tried to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body.
But he felt waves of stabbing pain coming from his meridians, as if countless shards of glass were scraping through his blood vessels. Every circulation of spiritual energy left him in unbearable pain.
His previous failure at Foundation Establishment had caused the spiritual energy his former self had painstakingly filled into his acupoints to vanish into nothing. His acupoints had shattered, and clotted blood had accumulated.
Now, as long as he tried to circulate qi even slightly, his chest felt stuffy and uncomfortable.
"Could this Mediating Mother Qi be useless to me?"
He had originally thought it would be of some help to cultivation, but now it seemed that was not the case.
Wasn't this just like online dating and meeting up with a pretty girl, with your pants already off,
only for the pretty girl to tell you she had one too, and it was even bigger than yours!
Then should I leave?
Wasn't this a complete waste of effort?
Just as Yu Ke was feeling depressed,
within his body's dantian, at the dantian, a strand of pure qi as clear as morning dew quietly emerged.
Once one cultivated to the realm of the second heavenly ladder, one could already look within oneself.
Although Yu Ke's Dao foundation had been utterly destroyed, his realm still remained.
That strand of clear qi was extraordinary, seeming to contain the true meaning of life. In the end, it gathered into one of his damaged acupoints.
"What is this?"
Yu Ke was startled and doubtful, and he hurriedly focused his mind to examine it closely.
In less than a moment,
another wisp of clear qi spontaneously rose from within his dantian, like a trickling stream, continuously flowing into that acupoint.
In a short instant, nine strands of clear qi had accumulated within the acupoint.
As the nine strands of clear qi filled it, the clotted blood inside the acupoint dispersed, then quietly expelled through his pores.
He felt as if his entire body had become much fresher.
Seeing this scene, Yu Ke was both shocked and delighted.
"Could it be that this is the wondrous change brought about by last night's Mediating Mother Qi merging into my body?"
Within his dantian, clear qi continued to grow. A newly formed strand of clear qi leisurely flowed into another miserably damaged acupoint.
The clear qi flowed endlessly, entering this acupoint one strand after another. When the ninth current merged in, the acupoint glowed with vigorous vitality.
When Yu Ke saw this, the corners of his mouth could not close.
"This young master can cultivate immortality!"
He cheered, then simply sat up cross-legged.
Although he could not cultivate by himself, watching the "clear qi" in his dantian bustle about was still good.
Not until noon!
All the acupoints in Yu Ke's body had been completely refilled and repaired, with only one left.
Yu Ke's mind tensed up.
As one strand of clear qi was poured in, then two, three... nine.
The clotted blood was then expelled from his body.
In only an instant,
Yu Ke felt as if his whole body had been ventilated, and even his brain felt energized.
His entire body felt three jin lighter. Before, whether he was sitting or standing, it had felt as if a stone were pressing down on him, making it somewhat hard to breathe.
Now, his mind was clear and his spirit refreshed!
"Awesome!"
When he came back to his senses,
Yu Ke's nose caught a wave of foul stench, and he only felt that it was nauseating and extremely pungent.
He could not help looking around, then realized that this was the smell given off by the clotted blood and blood lumps expelled from his body.
It was too foul!
At this moment, his clothes were completely soaked, as if he had just been dug out of a filthy swamp.
That smell was impossible to describe. It even stung the eyes. It was truly sickening.
Yu Ke almost vomited!
Fortunately,
there was a bathing area in the inner room. In this outer sect, the lodging conditions were excellent, but one also had to pay a certain fee to the sect, much like the water bill and property management fee in his previous life.
His former self had paid five years' worth in one go, so he could use it freely and boldly.
As he stepped into the bathing room, water splashed everywhere, leaving black water all over the floor.
After washing clean, he changed into a brand-new set of clothes.
At this moment, he was refreshed to the extreme, as if the whole world had brightened by several degrees.
However, no more strands of clear qi appeared from his dantian, and the original clear qi had also quietly sunk into his dantian, vanishing without a trace.
He could no longer sense the clear qi at all.
It seemed it had been completely used up.
When he tried to circulate qi, waves of stabbing pain still came from his meridians.
He still could not cultivate.
After his Dao foundation shattered, parts of his meridians, under the impact of qi, had even been forced into altered paths and parallel courses. Not one had escaped damage.
At present, although his acupoints had been repaired, if he did not resolve the affliction of his meridians, the path of cultivation would still be thick with thorns.
"Difficult!"
Yu Ke gave a soft sigh.
Since things had come to this, filling his stomach came first.
By now it was noon, and his belly was already starving, letting out rumbling sounds.
Yu Ke took out spiritual rice, set up the big pot, lit the firewood, and began to cook.
The leftover beef from last night was placed into the pot. Although there were no side dishes, it still became a pot of delicious mixed stew.
He quietly waited for the fine food to cook through, his mind free of distractions.
Mainly, he was hungry!
At this moment, Yu Ke's eyes narrowed.
He saw a purple, graceful figure appear by the doorway opposite.
The silhouette's curves were astonishing, the figure elegant and lovely.
On that pair of long legs, the leg lines were slender, tightly outlined by purple silk-woven stockings.
It was actually that elegant and charming beautiful married woman from yesterday.
Yu Ke felt slightly puzzled. Why had this beautiful married woman come again today?
Could that white-clothed youth be a "mama's boy" who could not leave his mother?
One had to know!
Ever since he had been sent here, during these three or four years, his parents had not come even once.
The beautiful married woman sensed his gaze, turned, and looked back, giving Yu Ke a sweet smile.
Yu Ke also nodded lightly, then picked up his food and walked into the room.
He really was hungry. Food was more fragrant than people.
The beautiful married woman was slightly stunned again. After all, she rarely encountered anyone who treated her beauty with such indifference.
The beautiful married woman gazed at Yu Ke's back, doubt in her heart.
She felt that the youth she had met yesterday seemed somewhat different today.
That indescribable feeling—she could not quite put it into words.
If one had to say what had changed,
then to the naked eye, the youth seemed much more handsome and fair-skinned than yesterday.
