Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Perfect Qi Cultivation (Vote for More, Follow for Updates)

Chen Yuan looked back at the City God Temple.

With a slight sigh.

Qingshan County originally had a City God.

But, as the last Mountain Patrol Military Officer died in battle.

The City God was originally an aid to the Mountain Patrol Military Officer, patrolling and guarding the domain.

Moreover, it was the Mountain Patrol Military Officer who would hold the Banshan Tiger Talisman and bestow the Imperial decree.

But, as the time of Daqian was nearing its end, the energy granted by the Imperial decree of heaven and earth was truly limited.

Not wanting to ponder further, Chen Yuan carried a cloth sack on his left shoulder and a lantern in his right hand, descending the mountain.

The cloth sack in his hand belonged to the ghost known as the Green Jade Child.

At the time of its execution, the Tiger Talisman stated:

This ghost delights in stealing children, turning them into pig-like playthings, classifying it among evil spirits.

Now, he had to return these few children.

However, he already heard the commotion.

In an alley near Jiazifang, there were sounds of gongs and firelight.

"Something has happened"

"Something has happened"

"Carpenter Wang's child is missing."

"Has anyone seen my child?" A woman's cry was heard.

Now, a chain reaction ensued, and cries emanated from the neighboring alleys.

They talked about how they were sleeping peacefully, but suddenly found their children missing.

At this point, everyone understood.

"Alas, what a sin, surely taken by demons."

"In this world, who knows if anyone can help us."

"Forget it!"

"Live one day at a time."

Everyone was sighing with grief.

Those with children quickly closed their doors and windows.

Fearing they might be involved in this matter.

In the darkness of the night, there were only suppressed cries and sighs.

And Chen Yuan, witnessing all this, found an alley near the end and poured the three children out of the sack.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Then, he blew a breath towards the three children.

Following that, he gave a sturdy-looking boy a twist.

Immediately, loud cries echoed through the night sky.

Someone quickly heard the noise.

"It sounds like there are children crying over there"

"Let's go check it out quickly."

Footsteps hurriedly approached from that direction.

Chen Yuan leapt up, vanishing from the spot.

Soon after, the joyous and tearful voices of the children's parents followed.

And the sounds of everyone's relief.

Chen Yuan did not stop his pace.

Turning a corner, he jumped from the edge of the rooftop and arrived at his own courtyard gate.

Just as he was about to enter,

Suddenly, a voice unexpectedly reached his ears.

"Brother Yuan?"

Following the sound, Chen Yuan looked to see Sister Hua's door from next door, slightly ajar.

Sister Hua and her son Huwa, were peeking through the crack in the door, sounding somewhat uncertain.

"Sister Hua, why aren't you and Huwa asleep this late?"

Chen Yuan was somewhat surprised.

"A child seems to be missing in the next alley, we were awakened by the noise, but didn't dare to go out and see." Sister Hua said, looking at Chen Yuan with a bit of a strange expression,

"Brother Yuan, what are you doing here?"

Chen Yuan, of course, couldn't exactly say what he had been doing, so he followed along with the conversation,

"I also, hearing the commotion from everyone, went out to help look for the child."

Hearing this, Sister Hua gave an odd glance at the cloth sack in his hand,

"That's good, get some rest early."

With that, she closed the door.

It seemed to close a bit hastily, making a rather loud noise.

And Chen Yuan, in the darkness, keenly observed the subtle expression on the face of this neighborly widow,

Suddenly looked at his own left hand.

Then he realized something wasn't right.

Slapping his own forehead.

This... Surely this sister wouldn't get the wrong idea?

This cloth sack was an evil spirit's item; he had intended to take it back for disposal.

Right, just now I seemed to have leapt down with quite the agility.

Sister Hua saw it.

I can almost imagine this neighborly widow's thoughts at the moment.

Probably took me for a human trafficker.

And given my usual routine, staying hidden by day and active at night, hardly ever leaving the house during daylight.

Who wouldn't suspect having such a strange neighbor?

Well!

Forget it, Chen Yuan shook his head, putting these scattered thoughts aside.

He opened the door and entered the yard.

Skillfully he went into the inner room and began to sit cross-legged and meditate.

Adjusting his breathing, he ignited the Elixir Field Furnace.

Next, he applied all of tonight's gains onto the Inner Scripture Diagram.

The surging True Qi, rootless and self-sustained, filled the Dantian.

Then, concentrating his spirit, he tamed this surge of True Qi, guiding it through the remaining Ren Meridian to complete the Small River Cart.

What followed was the repetition of meridian breakthroughs.

Time also trickled away, moment by moment.

This time, Chen Yuan spent even more time.

Because, he was about to complete the Small River Cart, achieve Yin Yang Fusion, and complete the Zhou Tian Circulation.

Only the last "Qi Sea Acupoint" remained.

And he was just one step away.

But at this moment, the True Qi in the Dantian was exhausted.

Chen Yuan could only continue the breakthrough while simultaneously Refining Essence to Qi and mobilizing his blood and Qi.

Finally, after some time enduring the pain and consuming his own blood and Qi, the Qi Sea Acupoint was breached.

In this instant, Chen Yuan felt as if his thoughts had been thoroughly enlightened.

Every pore on his body was utterly opened.

From the universe, a stream of Essence Qi entered his body through the pores.

While the impure Qi within was expelled.

Pure rises, impure descends.

During this process, the Elixir Field Furnace ignited spontaneously, Yang Generation occurred, passing three barriers, the Small River Cart was completed, achieving the Zhou Tian Circulation.

From now on, every breath he took was a part of cultivation.

At this moment, he had brought the progress on the Inner Scripture Diagram to 90%.

Perfect Qi Refining!

The next step was to break through the Body Mysterious Barrier!

Advance further, unlock the Divine Treasures within the physical acupoints, and comprehend the True Meaning of Divine Power.

Chen Yuan thoroughly felt the Zhou Tian Circulation; his previously drained Dantian was swiftly replenishing.

But soon,

his stomach sent forth a rumbling hunger, rumbling loudly.

Forcing him to end the experience and open his eyes.

Because he had depleted his blood and Qi in one fell swoop to complete the Small River Cart.

He needed to eat something quickly to recover.

Thinking this, he headed to the kitchen.

Ready to quickly light a fire, make something to fill his stomach, and then restore his Essence Qi using the Eating Divine Power.

However, when he opened the jar that held the rice,

strangely enough,

it was empty.

He opened another and found it empty as well.

He distinctly remembered there was still surplus grain at home.

Damn it, where's my rice?

Did my house get burglarized?

But at this point, his Five Internal Organs Temple was in frantic protest, and he didn't have time to think carefully, he rushed out of the house.

Only now did he realize that from last night's breakthrough attempt till now, it was already noontime the next day.

He made his way to a stall in the marketplace that sold offal.

Sat down and had one bowl after another.

Paired with soaked flatbread, he had a full eight bowls of offal soup and ten flatbreads before he finally filled his stomach.

"Shopkeeper, how much is it?"

Having eaten his fill, he prepared to pay.

The stall owner, at that moment, was somewhat absent-mindedly staring at the messy cups and plates in front of Chen Yuan, until Chen Yuan called him a second time; only then did he snap back to reality.

"Sorry about that, in total it's 220 cents."

"How much? Why has it gotten so expensive?" Chen Yuan realized something was wrong, frowning.

This frown naturally exuded an imposing aura, giving the shopkeeper a start.

He quickly explained, heaving a sigh, and said:

"It's because the neighboring county has had another demon calamity, not even a few days past, and look, many people have become refugees, naturally driving up the price of food."
