In a dimly lit stone cave, three beautiful women dressed in white were gathered around a stone table.
On the stone table was a dilapidated stone lamp, the wick of which was a small snake with its long forked tongue sticking out.
There was no flame on the stone lamp, but a small white light appeared on the wick. The white light flickered, as if it would go out at any moment.
The three women in white didn't dare to breathe loudly as they carefully observed the stone lamp.
A girl in white slowly stepped aside and then loudly complained, "Is the White Snake Sage's method even working? It's been so long, and his Chakra is still the same; it hasn't changed at all."
The three of us are stuck here, not knowing when it will end.
Another woman in white stepped aside, laughing heartily. Her cherry-like lips split into a wide grin, revealing a long, snake-like tongue flicking inside.
"My dear sister, how could you be so foolish? Ever since that human boy successfully cultivated Sage Mode, many people want to learn Sage Mode, and even our Ryūchi Cave has seen an increase in the number of people."
The White Snake Sage is afraid we won't be able to control our mouths and swallow a few more people, so that the brat will have an excuse to come knocking on our door later. That's why he's making us guard this meager amount of Chakra.
In my opinion, all this talk about re-cultivating the Dragon Vein's energy is just a joke.
A young girl in white rebuked the woman in white who had just spoken, "What nonsense are you spouting? Tagorihime! How could we possibly fathom the White Snake Sage's intentions?"
Although Tagorihime was still dissatisfied after being reprimanded, she dared not argue because of the White Snake Sage's reputation.
However, her mindset cannot be changed by a few scoldings.
Back in Amegakure, the three of them had witnessed the boy's imposing presence firsthand.
That incredibly fast movement, terrifying power, and enormous Chakra all indicated that the human sage was no easy opponent.
The three of them tried to sneak up and attack him, but were immediately exposed. They dared not attack him again and could only use Ninjutsu to hide themselves and Kabuto Yakushi.
The youngest-looking woman in white reassured them, "Alright, the White Snake Sage has her reasons for doing this. We just need to do our part."
As for that human boy, he's only just shed his baby hair; how could he possibly be a match for our White Snake Sage?
"If that brat really comes knocking on our door, he's nothing more than trash that the White Snake Sage could swallow whole."
Tagorihime secretly rolled her eyes.
Ichikishimahime makes it sound so easy. If that human boy is really that easy to deal with, why do the three of them have to work so hard here to cultivate a Chakra that may or may not even succeed?
"That's right," came the voice of an elderly woman from the cave entrance. "That human boy is nothing to worry about; it's just that this old man doesn't want to move."
An old woman, with a huge pipe dangling from her mouth, strolled over leisurely, puffing on her pipe as Earth Flow.
Three women in white quickly bowed to the old woman, respectfully calling out, " White Snake Sage."
The White Snake Sage nodded, looking at the Chakra glow on the stone lamp. "We don't need you here anymore. You may leave. You've worked hard supplying Chakra these past few days."
The three women in white retreated with expressions of relief and joy.
As the three left, the smile on the White Snake Sage's face gradually disappeared.
She waved her hand, and immediately a loud scraping sound came from the cave entrance.
A large snake, at least 2 meters thick, swam in from the cave entrance and obediently lowered its head in front of the White Snake Sage.
The White Snake Sage patted its head, and the snake immediately began to wriggle.
A moment later, a strong man was spat out of the snake's mouth and landed in front of the stone table.
The White Snake Sage tapped his pipe and exhaled a huge plume of white smoke. This smoke transformed into magical runes, which flowed into the body of the man on the ground.
The man slowly began to struggle, his strength increasing until the veins on his neck became bulging.
No one knew what kind of Ninjutsu the White Snake Sage had used, but no matter how loudly the man screamed, he couldn't make a sound.
White smoke emerged from the man's body, transforming into a thin wisp that merged into the Chakra light emanating from the stone lamp. The Chakra light seemed to brighten slightly compared to before.
The White Snake Sage frowned, glancing at the Chakra emanating from the stone lamp, then at the lifeless man on the ground:
"What a useless piece of trash! With such meager talent, you think you can learn Sage Art?"
The giant snake swallowed the dead man whole and slid him slowly into its stomach.
The White Snake Sage tapped the giant snake's head with his pipe. "Go, select some more people with the aptitude for cultivation."
The giant snake nodded, turned around, and crawled out of the cave.
The White Snake Sage continued to gaze at the Chakra light emanating from the stone lamp, "Humans, ah, truly excellent materials for sacrifice. If it were my snake clan, dozens of them wouldn't be as effective as one human."
The main body of the Dragon Vein's energy has already been obtained by that human immortal; this is the only way I can cultivate it into Chakra life form.
The sound of the giant snake slithering away had gradually faded into the distance, and the cave had become quiet again, save for the sound of puffing on a pipe, one after another, puffing and popping.
The White Snake Sage's eyes were fixed on the stone lamp, but his gaze had already drifted into the distance, lost in thought.
Shinsei has returned home; developing Three Heads and Six Arms system is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
Creating the appearance is simple, but to achieve the desired effect, Shinsei needs to deepen his understanding of Yin-Yang Release so that his Chakra has vitality and is no longer as rigid as it is now.
This kind of thing sounds simple, but it's often impossible to figure out how to do it.
Now, Shinsei can only hope that he can gradually master Yin-Yang Release over time.
Alternatively, by having more contact with the Nine-Tails Chakra, one can gradually unravel its mysteries.
After dinner, Shinsei studied the new Ninjutsu for a while. When it was almost time, he sat cross-legged on the bed.
As you calm your breathing, clear your mind, close your eyes, and focus your attention on your lower abdomen (Dantian).
The Qi in the lower Dantian begins to slowly surge, passing through Guanyuan, Qihai, and Shenque to reach the Huiyin acupoint, then ascends along the back, finally reaching the Baihui acupoint, and so on in a continuous cycle.
With Shinsei's daily meditation practice, the Qi in his body has accumulated to a considerable level, and most of the eight extraordinary meridians are now almost unobstructed.
At this rate, in about another year, Shinsei will be able to completely open up the energy channels throughout his body and form Macrocosmic Orbit.
After successfully Foundation Establishment, my physique improved. I wonder if it will be further enhanced after forming the Macrocosmic Orbit.
I remember when I first sensed internal energy in my past life, I imagined how magical it would be. But later I found it was basically useless.
Only after arriving in this world did they change their physical constitution, but the internal energy itself had no function.
The Internal Alchemy from my past life are still deeply imprinted in my mind. I don't know if I'll have the chance to form an internal alchemy core in this world.
In my previous life, due to the constraints of the environment, the formation of the inner elixir had become a legend. Some people claimed to have succeeded, but actual investigations revealed no evidence of success.
I wonder if the Natural Energy of this world is the same as the legendary spiritual energy.
They collected this energy to refine pills, but ultimately, they had no idea what they had created.
These matters were still far removed from Shinsei's life, so he could only set them aside and focus on meditation.
