Regardless of the ominous presence inside my Virus Qi Core, I still proceeded to cultivate it along with my other Qi Cores. If sothing were to co out of it in the near future then that's when I'll think about it. Right now, I don't have any breather to ask pointless questions such as where did I get this mysterious power? Why is it here? Is this a byproduct of my cultivation?
It's in my body so even if I were to ask all that, there's no way I could get rid of it while I"m still in the System's consciousness. That's why the best approach towards this thing right now is to do what I do best: to cultivate.
Upon sensing my Qi Cores in place, I decided to use my Qi Control Skill and my Blood Control Skill to unify the Qi Energy Flow in my body. I didn't even have to ask for the System's approval since I'm basically in her brain right now. All that I had to do is think about a certain skill I want to activate and it would activate just like that. For a mont, I thought that being the System must feel so boring. You just stay here and have your body do all the work for you. Well, that's how I genuinely feel about it. When it cos to the System, however, I have no idea what cos and goes in her mind while staying in this cold, white, and empty place.
I shook my head as I tried to focus more on my cultivation. I say I shook my head but that was just a statent. I can't really see my body right now so let's just say I shook my head in imagination.
Still, Hui-ying and the System weren't lying when they said that my Virus Qi Core would drastically improve in its cultivation. I could feel the heaviness of that power in and sohow, I feel pain all over my body. If my consciousness were in my body right now, I wouldn't have been able to handle the pain I'm currently going through. The System really thought things through when she brought into her consciousness. Not only did it increase my efficiency of cultivation, it also allowed to dodge the pain that I feel while absorbing the Qi Energy in the surroundings. Seriously, if it weren't for the two of them, I would've been dead at by now.
My Virus Qi Core enlarged quite considerably, roughly three or four tis larger than my other Qi Cores. Because of that, I decided to cultivate all my other Qi Cores, trying to balance out the difference in power amongst them and the Virus Qi Core. I'm well aware that a single imbalance in the Qi Energy Flow in the body would result in instant death and I've seen more than a handful of cultivators go through that painful trial... only to die in the end. Now that I have five Qi Cores inside my body, the chance of this happening is probably more than fifty percent. That's why while I still have the ti, I should balance all my Qi Cores as much as possible.
Cultivating a massive amount of Qi Energy while balancing the enlargent of my Qi Cores is an almost impossible feat. But with Hui-ying and the System lending a hand, the process was difficult but doable.
"Yongrui, we're almost done absorbing the Qi Energy in the surroundings. Your Virus Qi Core may be unstable right now but with its size, it can revive what little Original Qi Core you have left. Just give us a few more minutes and you'll be able to regain your consciousness." Hui-ying spoke in my head... wait, no, she isn't speaking in my head. Where is she speaking?
That's weird.
"Sure, thanks a lot for your help. In the anti, I'll try my best to balance out all my other Qi Cores. Let know if sothing cos up."
Before Hui-ying could respond, I continued on with my cultivation. After Hui-ying said that, I was filled with determination. If I were to succeed in balancing my Qi Cores, then I'd be able to wake up earlier. And if that were to happen, I'll finally et Natalia face to face. Well, I've t her face-to-face but I haven't seen her completely recovered self. If she were really back to being a human, then that ans she will look two or three tis more alluring and charming than she already was back when she was a rabid human.
What am I saying? That ca out weird and it sounded wrong at the sa ti. I should stop thinking about the chicks before the eggs are hatched. Right now, our priority is cultivation, then after that, we have to regain consciousness... and then it's all downhill from there.
With everything that I've experienced in the past, my cultivation techniques were honed to a terrifying degree, giving the capabilities to do complicated cultivations simultaneously. If a normal cultivator were to see right now, he or she may think that I'm a monster, cultivating five Qi Cores at once. So might even think I'm crazy upon seeing the small portion of my Original Qi Core, so might think I was suicidal, and heck, so might even wonder why soone as crazy as could be so talented.
The fact is, what I'm doing right now is so out-of-this-world that even the cultivators beyond Transcendence Realm might even find it a joke.
With this thought in my mind, I carried on with my cultivation. Deep inside, I was hoping that soone would help but then again, if soone were to see , then they might faint from shock by how unorthodox my cultivation was.
Then... I rembered Natalia.
"You're right with what you're thinking, Yongrui." Hui-ying seed to be reading my mind since she responded a split second after Natalia ca to mind. "Right now, she's staring at you as if she saw soone crazy. Her eyes are wide with shock and her hands are trembling. By the looks of it, she's panicking. She had already blanketed you with her Qi Core to try to stabilize your cultivation but right now, she's at the end of her rope. She probably couldn't explain why you have five Qi Cores in your body. And yes, she hasn't spoken a word ever since. That's why I don't know what she's thinking."
"Well, that's good news. At least I wouldn't have to tell her everything when I wake up. I'll just explain the details to her or sothing. Upon witnessing it firsthand, do you think she will get used to it or not? Does she really look frightened?" I was concerned by how Natalia viewed . If she were to see as a monster, then I don't know if I'll be able to recover from the shock.
I an, she wouldn't go as far as to label as a monster when I was the sole reason that she's back to being a human, right? She's not that heartless, right?
In retrospect... sigh~ well, she was the one who bit in the neck and I was stupid enough to make her bite my neck. I an, I know she likes but she was never aggressive enough to make a move. And the busy Sect Master that I am, I never had the ti to take her out on a date or have so alone ti with her. And if I did have the ti, my other disciples would think that I'm playing favorites. Honestly, it was already ga over when I beca the Sect Master. And I was dense enough to not even notice their moves.
But now! Everything is different! I've been given a second chance, courtesy to Hui-ying and the System, and I've grown much stronger than I previously was. Nothing is supposed to go wrong and yet right now... right now Natalia is probably perceiving as a monster rather than her previous Sect Master.
Sigh~ such is the way of life, too unstable like a reed by the riverside.
"Earth to Yongrui, stop with your drama and poems, we're almost done. You'll be awake in a few seconds." Hui-ying snapped back to reality. "The mont you wake up, you have to continue cultivating until your agitated Qi Cores are back to normal. As soon as we wake them up from their hibernating stage, they'll beco agitated. The pain might be a bit uncomfortable but just be grateful it's not excruciatingly agonizing."
"Sure, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for your help as always, Hui-ying, System."
I could've sworn that I felt them nod in front of . Must be just my imagination.
In a flash, the white enclosed space where I was in suddenly disappeared from my eyes. A blink later, I was back to the real world, face-to-face with Natalia. I was about to say my greetings when my Qi Cores started acting up again. It's just like a stroke attack but ten tis more painful.
"H " I clenched my fists and my stomach as I rolled to the ground. I wasn't even able to utter a single hello.
'Calm down Yongrui, this is this and that is that. You have to get through this first!' I gave myself a little bit of a pep talk but it didn't help at all. The pain was still there and it aggravated by the second.
To Natalia... I probably look like soone having a terrible stomachache since I was writhing on the ground while clutching my stomach.
How mortifying.
