Controlling the Pace, Advancing to Major Accomplishment
Hong Yao suppressed the panic arising from his astonishing capital, took a deep breath, and began to concentrate on using her true energy to probe Dongfang Yueming's meridians.
However, a moment later, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She discovered that Dongfang Yueming's internal energy had hardly increased compared to three days ago. It remained at the stage of just breaking through to the "Minor Accomplishment" level, with its internal energy circulation slow and making no progress whatsoever.
What happened?
Hong Yao withdrew her hand, the allure in her eyes fading slightly, replaced by a hint of doubt and disappointment. "You've been here for three days, and you haven't made any progress? Logically speaking, with your previous extraordinary comprehension, you shouldn't be so stagnant. Could it be... that your earlier breakthroughs were really just luck, and your potential has already been exhausted?"
The people of the Demonic Sect are incredibly pragmatic. If Dongfang Yueming's potential truly stops there, then in Hong Yao's eyes, he will instantly be devalued from a "priceless treasure" to an ordinary male concubine.
Sensing the coldness and suspicion in Hong Yao's tone, Dongfang Yueming understood.
[It seems that if I don't give her a little treat, this witch might lose her patience.]
[If you want to maintain the 'genius' persona, you can't stagnate for too long.]
With this in mind, Dongfang Yueming made a thought and directly communicated with the system.
[System, add 3 points to "Pure Yang Spirit-Nurturing Art - Chapter One".]
"Buzz."
[Point Allocation successfully! Pure Yang Spirit-Nurturing Art, Chapter 1 (3/5, Minor Accomplishment)]
In an instant, the originally dormant pure yang energy vortex in Dongfang Yueming's dantian seemed to be injected with raging oil, and began to spin wildly!
A surge of scorching, pure Pure Yang True Qi erupted like a torrent, instantly washing over his previously sluggish meridians. It even caused his body temperature to rise several degrees, and a faint golden glow appeared on his skin.
Hong Yao was extremely close; his hand hadn't even completely left Dongfang Yueming's chest when he instantly felt the violent and pure surge of true energy, like a volcanic eruption!
"This... you were actually compressing your true energy just now?!" Hong Yao's beautiful eyes widened, the disappointment in her eyes vanishing instantly, replaced by extreme ecstasy!
She chuckled, then leaned softly into Dongfang Yueming's arms, her delicate hand gently tracing circles on his chest, exuding an indescribable charm. "You little rascal, you deliberately suppressed your cultivation to tease your sister, didn't you? You gave me quite a fright."
While gently dealing with the witch in his arms, Dongfang Yueming made a decision in his heart.
[If too many breakthroughs are made in a single day, it will only arouse suspicion from the old Golden Core cultivators in the sect.]
[The best approach is to steadily Point Allocation each day, creating the illusion of rapid progress.]
"Please forgive me, Instructor. I only want to solidify my foundation," Dongfang Yueming said in a low voice.
"Hehe, it's good that you understand the importance of building a solid foundation."
Hong Yao laughed heartily, whispering sweetly in his ear, "Practice diligently. If you can master this technique within half Major Accomplishment month, not only will Senior Sister Ziyuan notice you, but I will also... give you some unexpected 'special rewards'!"
The next day.
Dongfang Yueming was alone in the side room.
[System, Point Allocation.]
[The Pure Yang Spirit-Nurturing Art, Chapter One (4/5, Minor Accomplishment)]
On this day, strands of dark golden Pure Yang True Qi condensed in his dantian, making his meridians even more resilient.
Day three.
In the stillness of the night, the moon shines on the bamboo grove.
Dongfang Yueming sat cross-legged on the couch, a thought suddenly forming in his mind.
[System, Point Allocation.]
"Boom--!!"
[Breakthrough successful! The first chapter of the Pure Yang Spirit-Nurturing Art has advanced to Major Accomplishment!]
[Current Panel: Cultivation Technique: Pure Yang Spirit-Nurturing Art - Chapter 1 (0/10, Major Accomplishment)]
At that instant, a crisp sound of a boundary shattering seemed to emanate from within Dongfang Yueming's body.
At this moment, the Pure Yang True Qi within his body completely condensed from a misty state into an extremely pure liquid! Like a surging, golden river of true energy, it circulated autonomously within his body, endlessly regenerating.
His five senses became several times more acute in that instant; he could even hear the rustling sound of every red leaf falling outside the bamboo garden. His originally weak mortal body was completely cleansed and transformed at this moment, his skin faintly glowing with a flawless luster like jade, and his previously weak blood and energy became completely abundant and vigorous.
Most importantly.
Deep within his dantian, the nascent form of his Acquired Spirit Root had already taken shape, radiating dazzling pure yang golden light.
The pinnacle of Major Accomplishment has been reached!
