Chapter 5: Breakthrough Dou Practitioner
When you pull out the cork, a rich aroma of elixir fills the air, making you feel relaxed and happy.
The mouth of the bottle tilted, and a green pill the size of a longan rolled out of the bottle and fell into his palm. He raised his hand and put the pill to his nose, and Xiao Se greedily sucked in the refreshing fragrance of the pill.
Then, take it into your mouth.
The gathered energy melted as soon as it entered his mouth, transforming into a warm, pure energy that rushed into Xiao Se's body. In a moment, it spread to his limbs and meridians.
Xiao Se's body trembled suddenly, but his expression returned to calm, he made a few strange hand seals with his hands and began to quickly absorb the Dou Qi from the outside world.
As soon as the Dou Qi entered the body, it combined with the pure medicinal power of the Qi Gathering Dispersion in the body, and then was refined and transformed into green energy the size of rice grains.
In an instant, the Dou Qi in the entire stone chamber began to riot, and wisps of Dou Qi continued to gather. A single wisp of Dou Qi might be very weak, and even invisible to the naked eye, but a spark can start a prairie fire.
In a moment, wisps of pale white Dou Qi condensed in the stone chamber and penetrated Xiao Se's body through his mouth and nostrils.
For a moment, Xiao Se felt his body relaxed like never before, warm and very comfortable...
However, as the Dou Qi continued to flow into his body combined with the pure medicinal power of the Qi Gathering Powder, and then was refined into green energy, Xiao Se's face began to become hideous.
He felt waves of soreness throughout his body's meridians. It wasn't very strong at first, but with every additional Dou Qi he absorbed, the pain would become more severe.
Until the end, Xiao Se clenched his teeth in pain.
Fortunately, he has paid great attention to physical training since he was a child, and his meridian strength is different from that of ordinary people.
Although it was painful, it could not cause much damage to his meridians.
Finally, the last bit of medicinal power was refined.
At this time, Xiao Se felt that all the meridians in his body were about to burst and his body was severely swollen.
Xiao Se thought to himself that this was not good, "Not good, I must quickly gather the Dou Qi Cyclone, otherwise all my efforts will be wasted."
He exhaled heavily and formed a few strange hand seals with his hands. The surging green energy in his body began to rotate violently with Xiao Se's dantian in his lower abdomen as the center, forming a vortex.
The pale white Dou Qi accumulated in various meridians in the body also gathered together and flowed continuously into the green vortex.
As all the Dou Qi flowed into the Dantian, Xiao Se's soul power keenly felt that the originally green vortex had turned milky white.
At this point, Xiao Se knew that he was going to take the final step.
Compress the Dou Qi.
Stay calm and keep your mind focused!
Xiao Se activated his soul power perception. Although he was not yet proficient in using it, with the strength of the soul of a traverser, his soul perception was no less than that of Xiao Yan three years later.
With the help of soul perception, Xiao Se quickly formed a hand seal, and the Dou Qi cyclone in his dantian began to gradually shrink.
When the Dou Qi was compressed to the size of a palm, it finally stopped changing.
But Xiao Se did not stop. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Press again."
Boom.
A not-so-loud rumbling sound quietly sounded in Xiao Se's body, and the Dou Qi cyclone was successfully condensed.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for raising his cultivation to a higher level, reaching Dou Practitioner, and a reward system patch. ]
Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Xiao Se couldn't help but smile faintly. Then he fell to the ground exhausted, his eyelids slowly closed, and he fell into sleep.
What Xiao Se didn't know was that the moment he fell into a deep sleep, the stone platform beside him gradually cracked, and the tender bud began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, it grew into a bonsai tree half a meter tall.
Looking carefully through the cracks in the stone platform, one can vaguely see a dark green ancient jade treasure chest inside. Under the moonlight shining through the vents at the top of the stone chamber, it glows a faint, eerie light.
The next morning.
The warm sunlight shines through the vents of the stone chamber and onto Xiaose's fair and tender little face.
Xiao Se slowly opened his eyes and immediately checked the scroll and the Palm of Heaven Bottle in his storage belt. These were the foundation of his livelihood.
Fortunately, the burning execution and the bottle are still there.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Xiao Se showed a satisfied look on his face, and stretched comfortably, "Ah, this sleep was so comfortable. I have been in Douqi Continent for more than eleven years, and this is the most comfortable sleep I have ever had. Not only did I break through to the Dou Practitioner level, but I also obtained the first strange skill of the Douqi Continent, the Burning Decision. By the way, it seems that a patch was awarded, and the system can be upgraded as well."
Thinking of this, Xiao Se shouted in his mind: "System, install the patch."
[Ding, the system patch is being installed. The installation time is estimated to be one hour. Please wait patiently. ]
Xiao Se smiled helplessly, this is a half-finished system.
The system is being upgraded, so Xiao Se naturally wouldn't just sit here and wait stupidly.
He stood up and stretched his slightly sore limbs, then turned his gaze to the stone platform.
Seeing this, Xiao Se was immediately delighted. The tender bud grew out and became a bonsai. Xiao Se made a rough estimate and found that the bonsai in front of him was at least thirty years old.
Passing the bonsai, Xiao Se's attention was drawn to the cracks at the roots of the bonsai on the stone platform. He found that it was hollow and there seemed to be something inside.
"This is."
There are no entertainment facilities in the Douqi Continent. Besides practicing, Xiao Se would go to the Xiao family library to read some books about medicinal herbs and the geography of the Douqi Continent.
If a time traveler in Doupo does not have the heart of an alchemist (to show off), can he still be called a time traveler?
With the spiritual talent of a time traveler, Xiao Se could not say that he had a photographic memory, but after reading it two or three times, he could remember it. Over the years, he had almost turned the open area of the Xiao family's library upside down.
Now I can recognize some common types and years of medicinal herbs.
At this moment, Xiao Se could easily recognize that the bonsai in front of him was just an ordinary Podocarpus.
However, the things under the bonsai aroused Xiao Se's great interest.
"Stone Crushing Palm."
He took a few steps back and then rushed forward suddenly. Dou Qi gathered on Xiao Se's right palm, he raised his right palm and swung it towards the crack of the stone platform.
This is the only fighting skill Xiao Se currently possesses, and it is of the intermediate yellow rank. It was taught to him by the housekeeper, and now he has mastered it to perfection and can break stones with ease.
Rumble.
Under Xiao Se's powerful palm force, the root trunk of the Podocarpus was instantly broken. With a click, the cracks in the stone platform spread rapidly, getting bigger and bigger, and stones kept falling off. In a moment, the hollow position of the stone platform appeared in Xiao Se's sight.
"This is... a box."
