Family Cultivation: I Can Store My Ability To Understand

Chapter 32

Soaring Cultivation Speed

“Phew!”

After a busy afternoon, Chen Daoxuan looked at the pile of bricks in front of him and felt satisfied.

He turned around and looked at Chen Beiwang, “Are there enough bricks here to build the factory?”

“Yes… Yes, there are definitely enough!”

Chen Beiwang nodded slowly.

“Then, I’m asking you to build the factory within a month. Can you complete this task?”

“Yes!”

Chen Beiwang looked at Chen Daoxuan. He was afraid that Chen Daoxuan would not believe him, so he emphasized once again, “Definitely!”

“That’s good.”

Chen Daoxuan nodded in satisfaction. He immediately used his wind control spell and flew away in front of everyone.

Before he left, his voice rang in Chen Beiwang’s ears, “Don’t forget the map of Shuanghu Island.”

“Yes, young clan leader!”

Chen Beiwang bowed deeply and said.

…

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Chen Daoxuan rode the wind and returned to his cave abode in the Red Copper mountain range.

This time, he had been in Guang’an prefecture for over two months, yet the cave abode was still spotlessly clean.

He knew that this was the result of his clan sending someone over to clean the cave abode daily.

He walked into the training room of the cave abode.

After carefully inspecting the spiritual eye, he found that it was intact and did not appear to have run out of spiritual essence. Chen Daoxuan heaved a sigh of relief.

As dusk gradually approached, the night on the mountain range was as cold as water, but Chen Daoxuan simply ignored it.

He could be seen sitting cross-legged on the mat, his face full of concentration.

In front of him was a brocade box and a jade bottle. They were the two treasures that he had obtained from Guang’an prefecture to aid his cultivation, the water spirit pearls and the Qi gathering pills.

“According to the records in the clan’s ancient books, the Qi gathering pill can help a cultivator double their efficiency of refining spiritual essence. It allows a cultivator with upper spiritual roots to cultivate at a speed comparable to a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots.”

“I wonder if the records are true…”

Chen Daoxuan fiddled around with the jade bottle in his hand gently, and then placed it in front of him.

He then opened the brocade box, and a water spirit pearl the size of a marble, which exuded endless vitality, appeared in front of him.

“The water spirit pearl can purify spiritual essence, thus allowing a cultivator to increase the speed of refining spiritual essence. What’s even rarer is that the water spirit pearl is not like a medicinal pill, and does not contain any pill poison. It will always be beneficial to one’s cultivation.”

Chen Daoxuan looked at the water spirit pearl, and then at the jade bottle containing the Qi gathering pill. He took a deep breath and said, “I wonder how fast my cultivation speed will be if I use these two treasures to aid my cultivation at the same time.”

He pondered this for a moment, after which he opened the jade bottle, poured out a Qi gathering pill, threw it into his mouth, and swallowed it.

At the same time, he opened the brocade box, and guided the water spirit pearl in the brocade box to absorb the spiritual essence emitted from the spiritual eye. Then, an even purer spiritual essence was emitted by the water spirit pearl.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Chen Daoxuan did not dare to waste the pure spiritual essence in front of him. He immediately activated the Origin Convergence technique and absorbed the pure spiritual essence emitted by the water spirit pearl.

As the pure spiritual essence entered Chen Daoxuan’s body, instantly, every cell in his body cheered and jumped for joy.

The spiritual essence first entered a human body’s meridians from the Heavenly Spirit Baihui point. Then, as it traveled through the entire body’s meridians, it was slowly refined into true Qi and stored in the cultivator’s dantian.

Chen Daoxuan had been refining spiritual essence this way for more than five years.

Chen Daoxuan was confident that, even if he did not control the process consciously, he could still refine the spiritual essence instinctually.

However, today, Chen Daoxuan felt that things were different.

The speed of cultivation was too fast!

If Chen Daoxuan’s usual speed of refining spiritual essence was rated as one point, then today’s speed of refining spiritual essence was five points!

He was not exaggerating at all; it was just that fast.

It was so fast that he vaguely felt that the spiritual essence provided by the spiritual eye was somewhat insufficient.

“How can it be so fast?”

After a while, Chen Daoxuan opened his eyes and said with a shocked expression, “No wonder cultivators are so eager to get their hands on spiritual pills and value spiritual pills more than spiritual artifacts.”

“If it were me, I would have made the same choice!”

It was not his fault that he was this shocked, after all, the sudden increase in his speed of cultivation was too great.

Compared to the past, the results of his cultivation over the past four hours were comparable to the two to three days of his usual cultivation. His cultivation speed was now four to five times faster.

Which cultivator in the world could resist such a temptation?

Thinking of this, Chen Daoxuan did not dare to waste time. He closed his eyes and continued to refine the spiritual essence.

…

The next day, after feeling a dull ache in his meridians, Chen Daoxuan ended his cultivation session.

“I actually cultivated for two extra hours than I normally do.”

After opening his eyes, Chen Daoxuan calculated the time that had passed with his fingers and said softly.

It should be known that cultivators did not cultivate without eating, drinking, sleeping, or resting every day.

While it was true that the more time they cultivated, the better, for cultivators, the amount of time they spent cultivating every day should be appropriate.

The so-called appropriate amount of cultivation time was based on the constitution of the different cultivators.

For example, Chen Daoxuan’s optimal duration for cultivating everyday was about four hours, to a maximum of eight hours.

It was about the same duration as a mortal would sleep at night.

Therefore, Chen Daoxuan usually chose to cultivate at night.

After this extended cultivation session, there might not be any problems in the short term, however, if it continued over a long period of time, it would cause irreversible damage to the cultivator’s body and meridians, hindering their path of cultivation.

Last night, Chen Daoxuan obviously exceeded his usual cultivation duration.

However, the reason why this happened was because he was too absorbed in his cultivation last night, so he neglected to keep track of the time.

Of course, the results of such engrossed cultivation were also gratifying.

Chen Daoxuan discovered that, given his current cultivation speed, he was confident of breaking through to the fourth level of the Qi refinement realm in at most half a year.

After his cultivation had broken through to the fourth level of the Qi refinement realm, Chen Daoxuan’s strength would presumably experience another qualitative leap.

At the very least, he would no longer be stuck in the early-stage of the Qi refinement realm, wherein he could only use a few sword attacks before he exhausted his true Qi, after which he would be at the mercy of his enemies.

He estimated that, after breaking through to the fourth level of the Qi refinement realm, thanks to the increase in his true Qi and the explosive growth of his spiritual sense, he would be able to attack his enemies at least ten times before running out of true Qi.

It was a joyous occasion that caused him to be in high spirits.

Chen Daoxuan’s cultivation proceeded smoothly, and his path of cultivation was also naturally smooth. As such, the smile on his face grew wider and wider.

After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, when Chen Daoxuan used the wind control spell to fly to the earth fire chamber of his clan, he discovered that there was already a group of sixteen to seventeen-year-old youths waiting in front of the jade square of the earth fire chamber.

Seeing this group of youths that were the same age as him, Chen Daoxuan smiled at Chen Liangyu and said, “I’m sorry to have made you wait for so long.”

Hearing his apology, Chen Liangyu immediately put on a flattering expression and said, “Why would young clan leader say such a thing? It should be proper for us to arrive earlier than the agreed time.”

Chen Daoxuan had no intention to argue with him on this topic. He changed the topic and said, “These people are the apprentices you found?”

“Yes, young clan leader.”

Chen Liangyu bowed. “These young men can read and are very intelligent. They should be able to fit the young clan leader’s requirements.”

Although Chen Liangyu did not know why Chen Daoxuan had gathered these young men, he knew that it was time for him, Chen Liangyu, to change his fortune!
