Chapter 23: Cultivation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the forest, there was a small pool that had been artificially dug.

Spirit essence was overflowing. The Little White dog that was sleeping lazily rolled around in the rich spirit essence. It slowly opened its eyes and looked curiously at the two people in the two pools, one big and one small.

In order to prevent affecting his daughter’s cultivation, Zhou Ji dug a small pool beside the big pool and transferred some spirit essence liquid to dilute it. Even so, Xiao Rui was knocked out by the rich spiritual essence as soon as she entered. Zhou Ji’s side was fine. After experiencing the element gathering array, he had already gotten used to the concentration of spiritual essence. Soaking in the pool only made him feel slightly dizzy.

This was also the result of him specially diluting it. After all, it was in the wilderness, so he still had to pay attention to the dangers around him.

A pool of spiritual essence liquid was quickly absorbed by Zhou Ji. After four to five hours, Zhou Ji could already feel that the concentration of the spiritual essence liquid had decreased a lot. It was his daughter’s first time cultivating, so Zhou Ji did not interrupt her. He only added some undiluted spiritual essence liquid to his and his daughter’s pool from time to time to maintain the concentration. By the time Zhou Ji sensed it and slowly opened his eyes, the sky was slightly bright. It had already been a night.

Not long after he opened his eyes, Xiao Rui finally opened her eyes. Compared to pure meditation, cultivation was much more convenient. As long as there was sufficient spiritual essence during the process, there was no need to sleep at all. The cleansing of spiritual essence on the body replaced the process of sleep and recovery of spirit.

“Did you have a nightmare last night?”

Looking at his daughter who was still a little lost, Zhou Ji gently pinched her nose.

“No… I just woke up while cultivating and found that it was already this time.” Xiao Rui replied, and a smile slowly appeared on her face. “Daddy, I think I can see my meridians and soul. Is this internal vision? Is the appearance of the soul?”

Zhou Ji wiped his daughter’s face with a wet towel, he smiled and replied, “Yes, the circular shape you see is the soul. Inside the soul is the place where the spiritual essence we refined is stored. The goal of the Qi Cultivation Realm is to let the spiritual essence accumulate in the soul first.”

“Then is the thing beside the meridians the blood vessels? is the blood flowing inside? Is the color red?”

Xiao Rui was very excited and asked one question after another.

After entering the Qi Cultivation Realm, she could learn the means of internal inspection and see her internal organs and meridians. However, this was the first time that Xiao Rui had “seen” something, so the little girl was obviously much more excited.

“… Yes, if you continue to cultivate, you will be able to slightly sense the surrounding environment after familiarizing herself with it for a period of time, and when you reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, she will be able to completely sense the surrounding environment. If you reach the level of a spirit, you will be able to truly ‘see’ everything through your spiritual sense.”

“Then I need to work hard in my cultivation! I needs to see daddy’s appearance!” Xiao Rui clenched her small fists and cheered herself on. “Daddy, if there’s nothing else, I will continue to cultivate.”

As she spoke, Xiao Rui wanted to fumble her way towards the spirit origin pool.

However, before she could get out of Zhou Ji’s embrace, she heard an obvious “Gu…”

“Cultivation also requires a combination of work and rest. Although absorbing spirit essence can prevent us from eating to a certain extent, we still need to eat. So, should we eat something first?”

As he spoke, Zhou Ji took out half a piece of packaged eagle meat from his storage bag. He specially picked a one-cubic pouch and placed a layer of ice inside it to store food. It was said that some storage pouches had the ability to keep food from spoiling, but Zhou Ji had only heard of such things. Now that the conditions were simple, he could only use this simple method.

Xiao Rui thought for a moment and finally could not resist the temptation of food. She ran to the bonfire that Zhou Ji had set up and sat down cross-legged. Although she didn’t cultivate, she still took out the flying needle that Zhou Ji had given her and slowly refined it.

Zhou Ji looked at Xiao Rui’s movements and shook his head helplessly. Why is my daughter so diligent? This is unlike me…

In the next few days, nothing unexpected happened. Zhou Ji and his daughter set up a tent in this forest and began to cultivate in the wild. In a few days, all the spiritual essence was used up, and Zhou Ji broke through to the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Xiao Rui’s training speed was relatively slow, and she also advanced to the second level of the Qi Cultivation Realm.

After all, there was still a gap between the two’s cultivation technique realms. Zhou Ji was now a human-shaped spiritual essence pump. After going through the improvement of the Foundation Establishment Secret Treasure, the speed of absorbing spiritual essence during training was comparable to more than ten Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators at the same time.

This was still under the control of the cultivation technique, a portion of spiritual essence was absorbed to temper the body. If it was purely a spiritual cultivation technique, Zhou Ji would probably be able to break through to the middle three levels of the Foundation Establishment Realm by now.

Zhou Ji also took advantage of his daughter’s cultivation technique to successfully create a new cultivation technique, “Marking Spell”

[Marking multiple living beings and objects, so that you could sense their location.]

[(Blue) can cast three permanent marks.]

[(Blue) mark increased concealment.]

[(Blue) cast spells can track marks within a certain range, probing the effects of the spell on the marked person.]

This marking spell was specially created by Zhou Ji for fear that his daughter would run away again next time, combining the contents of several spells. Once it was completed, Zhou Ji immediately attached a permanent mark to his daughter. This thing was like an extension of his perception. If the two of them got separated the next time, Zhou Ji could use this mark to find his daughter.

Of course, the actual effect created was not so strong. The top-level blue entries were all refined by Zhou Ji over and over again.

This middle-tier spell with three words allowed the system to directly reward Zhou Ji with 17 magic points, which surprised Zhou Ji a little. In the past, he had always thought that the higher the level of the spell created, the higher the magic points obtained, now it seemed that the more innovative the effect of the spell created, the higher the magic points obtained.

At this time, the magic points had already accumulated to more than 20 points. Zhou Ji did not treat himself unfairly and stuck a fourth entry on the spell he was cultivating.

[(Blue) spiritual essence recovery speed increased by an additional 200%.]

At least so far, Zhou Ji hadn’t seen a single cultivation technique with a few entries that could choose the same effect. Therefore, after thinking for a long time about the fourth effect, Zhou Ji finally chose this one that favored battle recovery..

A few days later, at the Gate of Earth Armor City 3.

A young man carrying a three or four-year-old girl appeared.

“Xiao Rui, we are going to enter the city soon. The public areas in the city are not allowed to cast spells. I will put the flying needle into your bag, okay?”

Looking at the guard at the city gate, Zhou Ji gently rubbed his daughter’s hair.

Beside him, a flying needle with a red tassel was flying agilely close to the ground. Behind the flying needle, a Little White dog was trying its best to pounce on the red tassel dragged by the flying needle, but it couldn’t catch it no matter how hard it tried.

“Hehe, Little White is really stupid, daddy. It actually hasn’t caught Little Red yet.”

Xiao Rui smiled very happily. Although she could not see the surrounding scenery now, through her spiritual essence and consciousness, she could already sense some things. At the very least, she would not have any problems walking, sitting, and lying normally.

Little Red was the flying needle. Xiao Rui felt that it needed a name, and she heard from Zhou Ji that it had a red tassel, so she called it Little Red.

While they were talking and laughing, the flying needle suddenly flew up and flew into a one-cubic small storage bag at Xiao Rui’s waist. This was something that Zhou Ji had specially given to his daughter, to hold something that Xiao Rui wanted to hold..
