Sky Prison.
Room No. D24.
[Mirror Master: Xu Xing.]
[Taoist Fruits: Lifeti of diocrity (White), Broad Knowledge and Strong mory (Grey↑).]
[World: Late Qing Country (All Heavens).]
[Descent: Soul.]
[Ti flow rate: One to Five.]
[Destiny: Broad Knowledge and Strong mory (White), Average Martial Arts (Red).]
On the gold clear mirror surface, his Destiny changed once again.
"Your Grey Destiny [Broad Knowledge and Strong mory] has been promoted to White Destiny. Do you choose to solidify it with [Taoist Fruits], transforming it from an illusory cause into a real fruit?"
"You have gained a new Destiny: [Average Martial Arts]."
"Do you choose to solidify it with [Taoist Fruits]?"
One sentence after another flowed across the mirror surface.
"No!"
"No!"
Xu Xing rubbed his temples, refusing both Destinies.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to solidify the two Destinies with [Taoist Fruits] now; it was because his current physical condition was extrely depleted. If he took another dose of Musk Dragon Powder or solidified a Destiny now, he would likely die instantly.
Moreover, his current Grey Destiny [Broad Knowledge and Strong mory] was sufficient. He wasn’t in a hurry to change it to a White Destiny.
As for the Red Fate [Average Martial Arts], it was sothing he urgently needed. If he solidified this Red Fate with [Taoist Fruits], he could directly change his fundantal aptitude and instantly gain Qi Sensation.
But—
He didn’t have enough vital energy to exchange for this Destiny. Perhaps as soon as he exchanged it, his life force would be exhausted, and he would die on the spot.
Moreover... after the Red Fate [Average Martial Arts] manifested, Xu Xing discovered that by ntally clicking on the Red Fate, he could see a secondary page explaining it.
It was only after seeing this explanation that he refused to solidify it imdiately.
[Average Martial Arts: Those born with a fluke of innate Qi Sensation advance rapidly in the early stages of the Martial Dao, but their actual aptitude is average, making significant progress on the Martial Path difficult.]
Relying solely on Destiny is not the solution.
If I can find Qi Sensation in the Instance World, I should be able to find it in Reality as well.
Xu Xing strengthened his resolve.
Once again, he took advantage of the night to sit cross-legged, searching for the elusive Qi Sensation.
In the first few days, he made no progress at all.
It wasn’t until the fifth day had passed that, finally, a wisp of internal energy slowly ford in his Niwan Palace.
After this wisp of internal energy was born, the at that had accumulated in Xu Xing’s body, as well as the excess fat he had recently gained, gradually transford into strands of internal energy under the operation of the Stony Heart thod, accumulating in his Dantian.
However, Xu Xing didn’t focus on accumulating internal energy. Instead, he circulated it back into his body, tempering his internal organs, especially his kidneys. Due to the Musk Dragon Powder, his kidneys were the most severely depleted.
There are five realms of internal cultivation in the Martial Dao: Qi Sensing, Body Cultivation, Storing Truth, Innate, and Grandmaster.
Xu Xing had already passed the Qi Sensing stage. What remained was Body Cultivation, which involved strengthening the internal organs.
Realizing that his internal organs could no longer assimilate more internal energy, Xu Xing began to accumulate it.
In one night, he amassed about four strands of internal energy.
Only after one full circulation of the cultivation thod could a strand of internal energy be born in the Niwan Palace. The ti required for one full circulation depended on a warrior’s fundantal aptitude, proficiency, realm, and so on. With Xu Xing’s ordinary aptitude, circulating the thod for one full cycle took at least one hour.
At this mont, the sound of a rooster crowing ca from outside the Sky Prison.
Rooster crowing heralded the ti before dawn.
It’s almost dawn... My body has recovered to normal. If I’m discovered...
Xu Xing’s expression flickered.
He imrsed his consciousness in the Bronze Ancient Mirror. Only then did he choose to solidify the Red Fate [Average Martial Arts] using [Taoist Fruits].
Instantly, the four strands of internal energy stored in his Dantian were completely exhausted. At the sa ti, a large portion of his vital energy was drained from his body.
He imdiately wilted, returning to a near-death state.
However, the mont the Red Fate [Average Martial Arts] was solidified, Xu Xing also felt as if his body had changed sowhat. Although it hadn’t reached the level of complete rebirth or marrow cleansing, it was a visible change compared to before.
The most imdiate change was a heightened sensitivity to Qi.
Xu Xing imdiately swallowed all the leftover food from the previous day, then circulated the Stony Heart thod to extract the essence from the at...
As expected, one full circulation now only took him one hour.
The speed of accumulating internal energy had doubled. Moreover, his ability to refine the essence of food also increased from forty percent to seventy percent.
Only a little residue from the food in his stomach remained.
But Xu Xing stopped ditating after accumulating only two strands of internal energy in his Dantian.
Just before the sky brightened, he leaned back and lay on the straw bale, feigning deep sleep.
It only took... ten days? He achieved Qi Sensation?
Xu Xing’s unusual state could deceive Wu, the book handler, and Scholar Su, who were not martial artists, but not Fifth-Rank Dingyuan General Chang Ji, who had taught him the cultivation thod. Not long after dawn, Chang Ji noticed Xu Xing was different.
Chang Ji was deeply shocked by this.
Although it took Xu Xing three days longer than the promised seven days to achieve Qi Sensation, it was important to rember that during this period, Xu Xing had received no guidance from any master and had cultivated Qi Sensation entirely on his own.
Ten days, no master’s guidance, achieving Qi Sensation by himself.
In terms of aptitude, he’s even better than . Back then, under my family’s guidance, it took eight days to successfully achieve Qi Sensation. Could it be... I was mistaken? His aptitude is extraordinary?
Chang Ji looked thoughtful.
He casually made an excuse, lured Xu Xing to his side, and then examined his bones.
His aptitude is much stronger than I anticipated. It seems I was mistaken.
Chang Ji sighed. He didn’t suspect anything else, rely thinking that he had been hungry for too long, making him weak and his vision blurry, causing him to misjudge Xu Xing’s aptitude ten days ago.
"Two adults," Wu, the book handler, quickly separated the two n, pleading, "fighting is not allowed in the Sky Prison..."
Looking at Chang Ji’s expression, my physical aptitude must have truly changed, and it can be discerned through bone examination. This change isn’t significant enough to be dangerous, so it was a close call. But in the future... I need to be careful about this. I must rember not to easily expose my aptitude.
Xu Xing stepped back, putting distance between himself and Chang Ji, pondering.
With my cunning, Chang Ji can’t outwit . The reason I let him succeed was, firstly, to put his mind at ease and prevent him from becoming suspicious, which might arouse the suspicion of Wu, the book handler, and the other Prison Officers. Secondly... with Chang Ji’s current physical strength, he isn’t strong enough to kill . And I, at this mont, am not entirely defenseless; I have so ability to protect myself. Chang Ji is currently hanging on by a thread. Of course, I’m also confident that even if Chang Ji had the power to kill , he wouldn’t risk it now. In other words, the two of us are now grasshoppers on the sa string.
"Mr. Xu..." Old Li’s voice ca from the entrance of the passageway. "Your wife has co to see you again."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xing’s expression suddenly darkened.
It had been over half a month. He had taken Musk Dragon Powder four tis and been in the bridal chamber with Zhao Yunniang four tis. Yet, during all this ti, he had managed to cling to life, not breathing his last.
This ti... is the fifth. If I still don’t die... in the long run, it will definitely arouse Han Sui’s suspicion.
It seems I need to start planning. I wonder if Yunniang is... with or with Han Sui. She... probably wouldn’t want her child to be born without a father, right?
