Chapter 321: Chapter 321 Continuous Breakthrough

“Injured?”

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

With a slight frown, the events of last night replayed before his eyes like a film projector.

“Though I was seriously injured, I killed Fang Han!” Li Xiaoyao said excitedly, “That Fang Han was a Ninth Rank cultivator in the Abstinence Realm, a whole realm higher than me, yet I managed to surpass my level and kill him with a single sword!”

“These days of trials with Ouyang Gu really haven’t been in vain!”

Defeating an enemy from a higher realm is something most cultivators or martial artists wouldn’t even dare think about.

However, Li Xiaoyao, both immensely talented and bold, not only dared to think it but also dared to test it with his own body.

One should realize that this is no child’s play; a failure would mean death.

Yet, it was precisely because he skirted the edge of death that Li Xiaoyao’s strength improved so rapidly.

After yesterday’s great battle, Li Xiaoyao felt an imminent breakthrough.

Li Xiaoyao quickly got up from the bed, formed seals with his hands, and strands of invisible spiritual energy rushed frantically into his body.

With a furrowed brow, Li Xiaoyao shook his head and said, “The spiritual energy here is too thin, far too thin.”

Opening his eyes and suppressing the turbulent spiritual power within him, Li Xiaoyao jumped out of bed, stepped into his slippers, and left the house in just his pajamas.

“Hey, you’re awake, kid?” Jiang Lichun, who was stewing a pot of meat soup, saw Li Xiaoyao come out and expressed surprise.

Li Xiaoyao stared fixedly at the meat soup on the stove, walked over, grabbed it, and under Jiang Lichun’s astonished gaze, he drank the entire pot of meat soup straight away.

“Damn, are you alright, kid?”

“I’m going out for a bit and will be back later, don’t look for me.” Leaving that statement behind and regardless of Jiang Lichun’s worries, Li Xiaoyao flashed out of the house.

Watching Li Xiaoyao’s retreating figure, Jiang Lichun formed hand seals, pondered for a long while, then frowned and said, “Though I can’t discern specific details, the divination shows great auspices.”

Leaving the house, Li Xiaoyao took a cab to the shop.

Zhang Meng was sitting in the shop, and since it opened, business had been booming.

Those antiques that Li Xiaoyao had found at the flea market turned out to be all genuine pieces, and Zhang Meng had been learning with a few masters when she had time. Her ability to appraise and understand antiques had markedly improved.

Not wanting to disturb Zhang Meng, Li Xiaoyao turned into a residual shadow and instantly rushed into the room. Zhang Meng only felt a gust of wind blowing in and curiously glanced at the shop before turning her attention away.

Descending to the Spirit Stone Vein, Li Xiaoyao immediately sat down cross-legged, formed hand seals, and started cultivating. With each inhalation and exhalation, the dense spiritual energy almost turned solid as it rushed into his nostrils.

The spiritual energy nearly wrapped Li Xiaoyao into a mummy, making him look like a giant egg from a distance.

“Not enough, still not enough.”

Li Xiaoyao shouted inwardly as one Spirit Qi Pill after another flew out of his Storage Ring and into his mouth.

As soon as the pill medicine entered his mouth, it turned into a rush of dense spiritual power, absorbed by the Dantian.

With the surge of Spirit Qi Pills, Li Xiaoyao’s Dantian underwent a substantial change.

An aura that seemed deliberately suppressed burst forth explosively from inside Li Xiaoyao at that moment. Waves of energy emanated outwards in all directions, creating an extraordinary shock.

“Boom boom boom!”

Zhang Meng, who was looking down at a shareholder identification book, suddenly felt the ground tremble beneath her feet, frightening her so much that she immediately stood up and ran out of the shop.

The proprietors of other shops were also scared by the tremor, thinking it was an earthquake.

Zhang Meng closed the shop door tightly and headed home early.

If it were truly an earthquake, staying there would be waiting for death.

Underground, following the eruption of such a terrifying aura from Li Xiaoyao’s body, an even more powerful and dreadful suction force was released from within his dantian. The surrounding spiritual energy rushed towards his body like the flow of a mighty river.

“Just a little bit more, just a little bit more!”

Li Xiaoyao bellowed, swallowing the last bit of pill medicine from his storage ring.

“Boom!”

A muffled sound emanated from his dantian, and Li Xiaoyao’s aura gradually began to stabilize. A few seconds later, he slowly opened his eyes.

“I’ve finally made the breakthrough. This one really wasn’t easy,” he said with a chuckle, shaking his head. Just as he was about to get up, his expression suddenly became strange. Looking down at his body, he muttered, “You’ve got to be kidding me, another breakthrough?”

Indeed, the recently calmed dantian was once again pulsating with an agitation that left him speechless.

This agitation was a precursor to breakthrough.

A consecutive breakthrough.

Such an opportunity was something you couldn’t seek, but only encounter by chance.

Li Xiaoyao was ecstatic and somewhat excited, yet he knew he needed more spiritual energy at this moment.

This place could no longer satisfy his requirement.

His gaze shifted towards the passage leading downward, where columns of spiritual energy rose like mini tornadoes.

Grinding his teeth, Li Xiaoyao exclaimed, “Fortune favors the bold, let’s do this!”

Li Xiaoyao plunged into the passage and appeared on the lower layer of the spirit stone vein.

He cautiously observed the green serpent beside the coffin, thinking to himself that even the recent commotion hadn’t awoken it; surely this time it wouldn’t be startled either?

With the breakthrough within reach, Li Xiaoyao did not dare hesitate. He sat down cross-legged, formed the right hand seals, and the spiritual energy, denser than before, surged into his body recklessly.

Li Xiaoyao’s body greedily devoured this spiritual energy which, after refinement through his cultivation technique, instantly converted into strands of pure spiritual power, seeping into his dantian.

Li Xiaoyao’s dantian was like a gigantic and parched lake, desperately swallowing the external spiritual energy.

If someone were here, they would undoubtedly gape in disbelief at the sight of dozens of meters long spiritual energy tornadoes linking Li Xiaoyao’s body with the spirit stone vein.

This continued for half an hour, and a sense of fulfillment finally emerged from within the dantian.

Li Xiaoyao’s hands changed seals, he pressed down slightly and softly chanted, “Condense!”

The rapidly revolving dantian, upon his soft exclamation, came to a sudden halt and then exploded with a terrifying suction force, compressing the vast spiritual energy at full speed.

If Li Xiaoyao’s dantian were the ocean, then at this moment this vast ocean was swiftly shrinking, transforming into a lake.

The process of condensing energy was slow and tedious, and without day or night in the underground spirit stone vein, it was impossible to clearly sense the passage of time.

Time passed indeterminately until Li Xiaoyao suddenly opened his eyes, and a very faint sound, like the crisp tinkling of shattered glass on the ground, rose from within the dantian.

With that crisp sound, waves of invisible auras burst forth from the dantian, sweeping in all directions.

“I’ve finally made the breakthrough!”

A joyful voice erupted from Li Xiaoyao’s mouth.

And at that moment, the massive green serpent lying beside the coffin lazily opened its eyes, its demeanor languid, yet its gaze was filled with restlessness and anger.

A strong sense of danger overwhelmed him. Li Xiaoyao, who had just managed consecutive breakthroughs, now felt a chilling coldness gripping him, sending tingles down his scalp.

“Master, danger!” the voice of Nie Xiaoqian rang inside his mind.
