The carefree life of Yang Shuisheng, the village miracle doctor

More than an hour later, the wind stopped and the rain ceased.

Yang Shuisheng got off the bed, walked to the broken table, picked up the braised meat he hadn't finished eating, and ate it heartily with the remaining half of a steamed bun.

He had just broken through to the next level and had undergone intense training, which had greatly depleted his physical strength, so he was indeed hungry.

On the bed, Zhou Caifeng lay limply, her body covered in sweat, too weak to even move a finger.

She gasped for breath for a while before she could barely turn to the side and look at Yang Shuisheng, who was sitting at the table with his muscular upper body bare, eating meat with gusto. Her eyes still held a hazy, watery light and a sense of satisfaction.

"You reckless bastard, you're so rough."

"I told you to be a little more indulgent, and you really don't know how to be gentle with women at all?"

"You've really worn my bones out."

She complained, but the satisfied blush on her face and the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her true feelings.

She paused, her voice lower, tinged with a mixture of adoration and admiration: "But... I just love you like this, so cool! So exciting!"

"It's much better than Old Zhao's fancy but useless stuff. It's so comfortable, so incredibly comfortable. Auntie hasn't felt this comfortable in a long time."

Yang Shuisheng just smiled at her comments and didn't reply.

He chewed his food while simultaneously focusing on his lower abdomen.

Inside the dantian, next to the pale white vortex that was originally only the size of a glass marble, another one had appeared out of nowhere.

The two cyclones were separated by a small distance, both slowly rotating and emitting pure true energy fluctuations.

"It really worked!" Yang Shuisheng thought to himself with delight.

The cultivation speed of the "Hehuan Nourishing Qi Technique" is indeed astonishing.

With just one deep fusion of Yin and Yang, he successfully condensed a second true Qi vortex.

At this rate, if he can maintain several cultivation sessions a day, it seems that it won't be long before he breaks through to the second level of Qi Condensation.

But then, he keenly sensed a subtle abnormality deep within his body.

It wasn't fatigue, but rather a faint sense of emptiness, like the feeling after something essential had been excessively drained.

According to the records in the inherited memory, this method of quickly condensing true energy through dual cultivation is efficient, but it consumes both one's own primordial yang and the other's primordial yin.

It cannot be done without restrictions.

With his current cultivation level and physical strength, he can only manage two or three effective cultivation sessions a day that can promote the growth of true qi.

Beyond this number, it becomes merely a simple release of physical desires, offering no benefit to cultivation and potentially damaging one's foundation.

"In other words, even if I cultivate three times a day, it would take at least three or four days to break through from the first level of Qi Condensation to the second level, based on the assumption that each time I increase one Qi vortex."

Yang Shuisheng quickly calculated in his mind, feeling slightly disappointed.

Although this speed far exceeded that of normal meditation and ascetic practice, it was still a bit slower than the rapid progress he had expected.

But then I thought about it again, and that's normal. Cultivation is like rowing against the current; it gets harder and harder as you go on.

To have achieved this speed is already an exceptionally fortunate opportunity.

At this moment, Zhou Caifeng also recovered.

"Alright, take your time eating. Auntie's going back now."

She sat up lazily and began to slowly put on her clothes.

Even in the dim light, her mature and voluptuous body still exuded an astonishing allure.

As she buttoned her clothes, she said to Yang Shuisheng, "I'll bring you dinner later. Since your legs aren't very strong, don't bother yourself."

Yang Shuisheng's heart stirred.

Come back later? That's a good opportunity.

If Zhou Caifeng brings him food twice a day, he can take the opportunity to cultivate twice, which is just the maximum effective time per day. This way, he won't overwork his body and can maximize his cultivation efficiency.

Moreover, with her delivering meals, it saves me trouble, allowing me to focus on other things, such as watering the seedlings in the field or checking on Lin Wan's condition.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Aunt Feng." Yang Shuisheng nodded and did not refuse.

For the next three days, Zhou Caifeng kept her promise and brought food to Yang Shuisheng's dilapidated house on time every noon and evening.

The two of them tacitly agreed that before or after meals, they would naturally end up in bed for a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Zhou Caifeng, having tasted the sweetness of pleasure, became increasingly infatuated with the intense sense of conquest that Yang Shuisheng brought her, giving her all and displaying fiery passion each time.

Yang Shuisheng was happy with this, steadily improving his cultivation while enjoying the gentleness.

Yang Shuisheng was not idle during these three days.

During the time when Zhou Caifeng was not around, he would go to the two acres of land he rented and water the amazingly growing bok choy seedlings with diluted Lingwu San medicine.

The seedlings are already more than a hand's breadth tall, a lush green expanse, which has caused quite a stir in the village, with everyone praising his farming skills.

He also took some time to visit Lin Wan at Guo Cuihong's house. Lin Wan's foot injury had almost healed, and she could walk normally. Her complexion had also improved a lot, but the worry about her family still lingered in her eyes.

Yang Shuisheng comforted her, telling her that the half-month period had not yet ended and that she should wait patiently.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, after finishing another cultivation session with Zhou Caifeng and seeing off the satisfied Zhou Caifeng, whose steps were even a little unsteady, Yang Shuisheng sat cross-legged on the bed to examine his dantian.

Within his dantian, there were a full ten pale white vortexes of true qi!

All ten cyclones were slowly rotating, seemingly connected to each other, together forming the foundation of his Qi Condensation Level 1 cultivation.

Ten cyclones, according to the "Hehuan Nourishing Qi Technique", signify that he has reached the perfect state of the first level of Qi Condensation and can try to break through to the second level of Qi Condensation!

However, unlike the previous breakthrough from Qi Sensation to True Qi, where one could achieve the breakthrough simply by using medicine or a special opportunity once Qi Sensation was saturated.

The Qi Condensation stage marks the true entry into the threshold of cultivation. Each breakthrough at a small level requires more solid preparation and stronger energy support.

The inherited memories clearly told him that if he wanted to break through from the first level of Qi Condensation to the second level, his current daily dual cultivation or simple meditation was far from enough.

He needs a more powerful impact!

Alternatively, one could find a rare and precious herb or special elixir with a stronger medicinal effect than a century-old Ganoderma lucidum, or one that could provide a surge of spiritual energy, and use its immense power to forcefully break through the barrier.

Alternatively, you can find a place with relatively abundant spiritual energy, and use the external spiritual energy to infuse your body, combined with your own accumulation, to break through in one fell swoop!

Medicinal herbs of the caliber of century-old Ganoderma lucidum are extremely rare and hard to come by.

Places rich in spiritual energy are even harder to find in this remote Peach Blossom Valley.

The spiritual energy in ordinary mountain forests is only slightly richer than that in villages, which is not enough to support a breakthrough.

"Looks like I need to think of something." Yang Shuisheng opened his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly.

While the sense of security brought about by increased strength is important, the opportunity for a breakthrough has become a new challenge.

Should I risk venturing deeper into the Daliang Mountains to search for potential spiritual energy nodes or rare medicinal herbs, or should I find another way?
