Li Chenfeng had condensed a Dou Qi Cyclone, successfully broken through to the Dou Zhe realm, and even inadvertently opened a gate leading to the myriad worlds. It all felt like a dream.
But this was an enormous blessing for him. Otherwise, catching up to Xiao Yan, that guy who had known how to molest little girls since childhood, would not have been easy.
"But now it's time to go out and gain some experience. After all, simply shutting myself at home to cultivate isn't the best choice for me right now."
Although his family provided him with quite a few Medicinal Pills for cultivation, whatever lay beyond the gate in his Dantian had always drawn him to explore it.
But Li Chenfeng did not dare try something like that at home.
What if he entered and vanished for ten days or half a month? That would be difficult to explain to his family.
Still, this was not something that could be done overnight. He needed to find the right time to bring it up.
After all, this body of his was only eleven years old...
Even in a world like the Battle Qi Continent, where everyone cultivated, an eleven-year-old boy wanting to go out for training was an unbelievable thing!
While Li Chenfeng cultivated and waited for the right opportunity, he made another startling discovery...
His Dou Qi Attribute was not Wind Attribute!
Or rather, he discovered that his Dou Qi Attribute was not fixed at all!
He made this discovery while testing his Dou Qi level. Li Chenfeng accidentally found that when he did not circulate his Cultivation Method, Raging Wind Tide, the pale green Wind Attribute Dou Qi in his Dantian reverted directly to its original milky-white form!
This discovery greatly startled Li Chenfeng.
He did not know whether this situation was unique to him or a common phenomenon.
To find out, he specifically asked A Fei. Only then did he learn that once someone cultivated an attribute-based Cultivation Method, the Dou Qi in their Dantian would remain the corresponding attribute's color and would not transform back into the milky white it had been when the Dou Qi Cyclone first condensed.
In other words, the situation in his Dantian was an exception!
"What's going on...?"
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Li Chenfeng's heart was filled with questions.
"Could it be... because of that mysterious power in my Dantian that contains the Myriad Worlds Gate?"
As he thought, Li Chenfeng suddenly had an idea. He took out a High Profound Tier Fire Attribute Cultivation Method, the Crimson Flame Art, and began cultivating it.
If Li Chenfeng truly had Wind Attribute, then this Fire Attribute Cultivation Method would be useless to him. He would not be able to cultivate Dou Qi with it, so he was conducting an experiment... testing an idea in his heart...
A quarter of an hour later, Li Chenfeng slowly opened his eyes on the bed.
"Just as I thought!"
"I guessed right. The Dou Qi in my body isn't Wind Attribute at all. It's attribute-less! Or perhaps, it has every attribute!"
A sharp glint flashed through Li Chenfeng's eyes.
It turned out that the Dou Qi in his body could switch attributes according to the Cultivation Method he cultivated...
This made Li Chenfeng overjoyed!
"If that's the case, then Cultivation Method attributes will never restrain me again!"
Because the highest-level Cultivation Method in the Nalan Clan was currently Raging Wind Tide, a Low Earth Tier Wind Attribute Cultivation Method.
If he found an even higher-level Cultivation Method in the future, wouldn't that mean he could switch without conditions whenever he wished?
Most importantly...
"I thought that without Fire Attribute, Flame Mantra from Venerable Yao and all kinds of alchemy techniques would have nothing to do with me..."
"Who would have thought things would take such a turn...!"
With that, it became necessary for Li Chenfeng to make a trip to Wutan City soon.
Xiao Yan was the same age as his younger sister, Nalan Yanran. He wondered whether Xiao Yan had begun cultivating yet.
For all these reasons, after celebrating his eleventh birthday at home and officially entering his twelfth year, Li Chenfeng formally proposed the idea of going out for training to his father, Nalan Su.
Naturally, this idea was opposed by everyone in the Nalan Clan, including Madam Nalan.
"Feng'er, you're still too young. There's no need to rush into training outside. Wait until you're an adult, all right?" Madam Nalan earnestly tried to persuade her son.
"Mother, I'm not that young anymore. Look at me, I'm already taller than you. Once I'm outside, who will know how old I am? Besides, if I want to truly grow, I can't just stay at home under the family's protection. Flowers in a greenhouse can never grow into towering trees!"
"Hmph! A flower is still a flower. Even if you throw it into the mountains, it won't grow into a tree!" Madam Nalan snorted and began acting shamelessly toward her son.
Li Chenfeng rolled his eyes helplessly, then shifted his attention to Nalan Jie and Nalan Su. As long as he could persuade them, his mother would no longer be a problem.
"You are only at the Dou Zhe realm now. There is no great need for you to go out for training," Nalan Jie said slowly as he looked at his grandson.
"Grandfather, Father, although there are Medicinal Pills at home to support cultivation, such cultivation is like a castle in the air and offers little benefit to my future. On the Battle Qi Continent, what expert ever succeeded by cowering at home?
Talent and potential are only potential in the end. If potential cannot be turned into strength, then everything will still amount to nothing.
And I am confident that if you give me one year, I can break through to the Seven-Star Dou Practitioner realm!"
When he had broken through to the Dou Zhe realm, he had already reached two stars. After nearly a year of cultivation, Li Chenfeng had now become a Four-Star Dou Practitioner and was confident that he could break through to seven stars or above within the next year!
The father and son, Nalan Jie and Nalan Su, exchanged a glance. They heard powerful confidence in Li Chenfeng's words, as well as his firm resolve to undergo this training.
Still, Li Chenfeng's words were not without reason. After thinking carefully for a while, the two finally nodded.
Since Nalan Jie, the old clan leader, and Nalan Su, the current clan leader, had both nodded, no one else could object any longer.
No matter how reluctant Madam Nalan was, she could only support her husband's decision.
Naturally, they had to make thorough preparations for Li Chenfeng's safety. A Fei, who was already a Seven-Star Great Dou Master, had to accompany him. This was the demand of everyone in the Nalan Family.
Li Chenfeng could only agree to this.
The day before his departure, Li Chenfeng specifically met with Yafei and told her about his plans.
Although Yafei was deeply reluctant and worried, she could only offer him gentle reminders in the end.
Her cultivation talent was not strong; it could even be called poor. At sixteen, she was already a graceful young woman, yet she had only reached the Sixth Stage of Dou Qi. No one knew how long it would take for her to break through to the Dou Zhe realm.
This left Yafei feeling deeply uneasy as she watched Li Chenfeng become more and more outstanding.
She feared that she would grow farther and farther away from Li Chenfeng in the future. Even if Li Chenfeng did not abandon her, she would only be able to hide behind him as a useless decorative vase...
That was not the outcome Yafei wanted!
Looking at the handsome, sunny youth before her, Yafei could not help recalling what had happened yesterday...
Just yesterday, her grandfather, who had always treated her neither warmly nor coldly, suddenly came to find her and gave her a choice: she could participate in the family business early.
Yafei agreed to it.
Since she could not offer Li Chenfeng help through martial strength, she would make up for it in another way!
Cultivating Dou Qi had never been simple. Cultivation Methods, Dou Techniques, Medicinal Pills, and every other resource required enough money to support them.
The Mite'er Family had built its foundation on commerce. Since Yafei lacked cultivation talent, she could only begin from this direction.
The Golden Empress, who would one day shake the continent, was destined to embark upon a similar path!
