A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

"Gurgle..."

"Senior...Senior brother?"

Ye Chen snapped out of his daze, looked up at Lin Ningxue who was staring at him with a puzzled expression, and realized that he had fallen asleep again...

After carefully sensing it, there was still no fluctuation of spiritual energy within his body.

It still doesn't work...

A hint of disappointment flashed through Ye Chen's mind.

I thought I had found a cave with abundant spiritual energy, but I still fell asleep while trying to comprehend the cultivation technique.

Could it be that I really have no way to cultivate?

No, it must be that the surrounding spiritual energy isn't dense enough. Maybe if I lived in a better cave, I could draw energy into my body...

"Senior brother, the food is ready, you can eat now..." Lin Ningxue reminded him softly from the side.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen snapped out of his reverie and nodded to her.

"good!"

He stood up and walked outside, faintly smelling a fragrance, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"It smells so good..."

The two walked into the kitchen one after the other...

The table was laden with dishes that looked and smelled delicious, making it look very appetizing.

"Gurgle!"

Having consumed the pills for two days, Ye Chen eagerly stepped forward, picked up his chopsticks, and took a bite of the braised pork. His eyes lit up immediately...

"tasty!"

"I didn't know you had such a talent for cooking..."

He looked up at Lin Ningxue and praised her.

"Really? As long as Senior Brother thinks it's delicious..." Lin Ningxue smiled upon hearing the praise, feeling a surge of joy in her heart...

Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction and said thoughtfully.

"Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses after all..."

"Although your cultivation level is weak, your cooking skills are excellent!"

Lin Ningxue: ? ? ?

Her smile froze, and the way she looked at Ye Chen changed...

That doesn't sound like a compliment...

Compared to her culinary skills, she hopes to improve her personal cultivation as well.

The two immediately sat down and began devouring the delicious dishes before them, leaving not a single bite...

After a hearty meal, Ye Chen rubbed his bulging belly, looking completely satisfied.

He noticed that his appetite seemed to have increased, and he could eat more than twice as much as before...

Could it be because of the improvement in physique and strength?

Having physical strength alone is not enough; he is no match for those powerful cultivators who can fly and escape into the earth.

At this moment, his mind was still focused on spiritual practice!

Seeing Lin Ningxue consciously clearing away the dishes, Ye Chen got up and went back to his room.

He sat cross-legged on a futon, flipped his hand, and instantly a purple-gold gourd appeared out of thin air...

"I wonder how that woman is doing..."

He muttered something under his breath.

Remembering that Lin Qinshuang had been soaking in the Purple Gold Gourd for a day and a night, and had already exhausted her cultivation yesterday, he figured she was probably dead by now, so he prepared to dispose of the body...

Ye Chen uncorked the purple-gold gourd, and with a single thought, his consciousness entered the gourd...

The murky spiritual liquid rose to a higher level, occupying a third of the space, but Lin Qinshuang was nowhere to be seen; not a trace of her remained...

Where did that woman go?

Ye Chen asked in surprise.

There was absolutely no chance of escape for the opponent inside the Purple Gold Gourd. Looking at the rising spiritual liquid, he immediately realized that Lin Qinshuang had been completely refined...

This purple-gold gourd can not only refine cultivation, but also refine corpses!

"That's good, saves us the trouble of dealing with the corpse..."

Ye Chen was overjoyed and murmured softly.

Just as his consciousness was about to leave, he suddenly saw characters engraved on the inside of the gourd...

"What is this?"

A flicker of doubt crossed his mind as he carefully examined the strangely shaped characters. They looked both unfamiliar and familiar, like writing yet also like some kind of symbol...

As his gaze swept across the scene, he unconsciously murmured to himself.

"The Supreme Responsive Mantra..."

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly.

"This is... a cultivation technique?"

He hadn't expected that the purple-gold gourd would contain hidden cultivation techniques and incantations. The moment he realized this, he immediately looked down...

Although these were all strange and unfamiliar characters, he could understand and pronounce them, completely imprinting them in his mind...

With each word and phrase, the surrounding things become illusory.

The changes were magnified infinitely, bit by bit, and his perception became increasingly intense...

Unconsciously, Ye Chen closed his eyes, his thoughts sinking into a void. All around him was pitch black, with faint specks of light floating around him.

As I meditated for a long time, more and more points of light floated around me, and the darkness was almost completely filled by these tiny glows, illuminating the whole world...

"Come on! Come on!"

Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice.

As if guided, the surrounding light spots surged wildly into his body, gathering in his dantian...

Ye Chen only stopped after he had been absorbing the spiritual energy in the vicinity for a long time, until it was completely depleted.

"Buzz!"

A powerful surge of spiritual energy emanated from his body...

"The Qi has been drawn into the body; successful!"

Ye Chen sensed the surging spiritual energy within his body and was overjoyed; he had finally successfully embarked on the path of cultivation...

Although he was only at the first level of Qi Refining, after taking this step, his subsequent cultivation went very smoothly.

The gloom that had prevented me from cultivating before has been swept away!

So what if I don't have spiritual roots? This great king still embarked on the path of cultivation...

At this moment, he couldn't help but want to burst into laughter.

He thought all hope was lost, but to his surprise, he obtained the cultivation technique effortlessly from the purple-gold gourd he always carried with him...

Moreover, this "Supreme Response Manual" is more like a celestial technique!

Aside from immortal techniques, Ye Chen couldn't think of any other cultivation method that could enable someone with no spiritual roots to draw in qi and embark on cultivation...

Meanwhile, Lin Ningxue, who was staying next door, was meditating and cultivating. The spiritual energy here was a hundred times richer than in her cave, and she didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to cultivate...

She hadn't even been practicing for a short while when she suddenly opened her eyes, her face full of astonishment.

"this..."

"Where has all the spiritual energy gone?"

"strangeness..."

She didn't understand what had happened; in just a moment, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to have dried up completely...

In a sacred place shrouded in ethereal beauty.

Liu Ruyan suddenly opened her eyes in the training room, a hint of surprise flashing across her charming and alluring face.

"This kid, he's already mastered Qi cultivation?"

"Truly a descendant of an ancient race, he has actually embarked on the path of cultivation despite lacking spiritual roots..."

"I really look forward to seeing how much pure Yang Flame this kid will have for me to absorb next time we meet..."

She murmured softly, a blush rising on her beautiful cheeks.

The higher the cultivation level of the cultivation vessel, the greater the benefits of dual cultivation...
