Breakthrough to Third Level of Qi Transformation (Second Part)

Ding!

[Qi increase by 25,300. Current Qi 225,470/249,000]

'So if I consume the spirit core rather than kill the spirit beast with the dagger, it will give me twice amount of qi. I shall only use the dagger when dealing with humans, then." Snowy thought.

"Okay, the next spirit core, here it goes!" Snowy threw the remaining spirit core into her mouth.

Ding!

[Qi increase by 12,650. Current Qi 255,370/249,000]

[You have successfully breakthrough to First Level of Qi Transformation]

[All stats increase by 3,000]

[Current Qi 255,370/395,000]

Boom!

Primordial Qi was gushing crazily inside her body and seeping into her inner organs, muscle, tendon, blood, bones, and marrow.

Her body began to transform: Her inner organs performed better than they were before; her muscle and tendon became very flexible and easier to control; her blood became purer and brimming with vitality; her bones became extremely sturdy, rivaling even diamond; and her marrow was vigorously supplying new blood every second.

Her appearance was also improving, albeit only slightly. Her skin and hair became more lustrous. Her butt became perkier and toned and her plump breast became even fuller and looks delicious.

The most subtle yet significant change was in her eyes. Now, she could get more detailed information about her target, including their weakness and detailed cultivation level.

Whenever she inspects a Golden Core cultivator and Nascent Soul cultivator, she could see not only their major stage but also minor stage.

A cultivator who recently breakthrough the Golden Core Stage like Feng Xue and the late Yan Tian was in Lower minor stage.

Zi Ling should be around Middle or Upper minor stage, and Lin Ming should already reach Peak minor stage.

There was also the fabled Perfection mentioned in the legend, but even most of the Chosen and Heaven-Favored from the Heaven Plane could only dream of achieving this minor stage.

After stabilizing her cultivation, she was ready to continue exploring the inner sanctum of Blackwood Forest.

"I'm a first-level Qi Transformation cultivator now," said Snowy. "Let's start the hunt."

***

Almost a week had passed after Snowy parting with Feng Xue. She had explored almost all corners of the inner sanctum but didn't even once encounter the Nine-Petal Lotus. She had seen the rainbow-colored light more than once but always arrived one step behind before it disappeared and couldn't find its track anymore.

Meanwhile, she had bumped into and killed so many high-level Qi Transformation spirit beast In the past week alone, causing her cultivation to soar to the Third-level of Qi Transformation stage. She checked her status to examine her progress.

A big smile appeared on Snowy's face after she finished reading her status.

Her base strength was now comparable to the ordinary 7th level of Qi Transformation cultivator. If she used any of her Heaven-rank techniques, she could slay one or two Yan Tian easily.

If she exerted her strength to the limit, she would be able to battle a peak Golden Core cultivator or a middle Golden Core spirit beast evenly or even wounded them severely.

Her Qi reserve was even more ridiculous. Thanks to her Primordial Qi, she now had Qi reserve as much as a Peak Golden Core cultivator.

This was an obvious advantage for her in the case she ever had a battle of attrition with her enemy.

She also learned how to use Force Qi due to her frequent usage of fist and kick techniques in her hunt.

'Can I use it with my backhand slap, I wonder?' was the first thing that popped up on her mind when she successfully learned the Force Qi. She always believed that her slapping technique still has a lot of room for improvement.

If Feng Xue knew what Snowy thought, she would definitely flick her forehead and call her "Slapping Junky".

Buzz. Buzz.

Her transmission jade suddenly vibrating. She activated it and heard Feng Xue's voice on the other side of the transmission jade.

[Snowy, where are you right now?]

[Yes, Xue. I'm in the westernmost part of the inner sanctum. What happened?]

[I'm in the northernmost part of the inner sanctum. And you know what? I just saw the rumored white bunny, and I am currently keeping my eye on it. Come over here quickly! I need your help to catch the bunny!]

[Okay, Xue. I'll be there in a moment. Wait for me]

Snowy stored the transmission jade away and rushing into Feng Xue's direction. She looked for her for another 15 minutes after arriving at her destination and finally spotted Feng Xue's figure hiding behind the bushes while peeking in a certain direction.

"Xue," Snowy patted Feng Xue's shoulder and called her name.

"Ssh," Feng Xue hushed at Snowy and then pointing her finger at a small furry creature who was in the middle of chewing some wild berries.

"We should use Yin Yang Shadow Step from both sides and catch it in a pincher," Snowy suggested.

Feng Xue gave her approving nod and then quickly assumed her position.

Step. Step.

They walked slowly and carefully, afraid that the sound of the broken branch beneath their step would suddenly alert the bunny.

Step. Step. Step.

They only one step away from the bunny but the bunny suddenly stop eating and stare at their direction. Their body grew tenser, and sweat appeared on their forehead. Did the bunny look at something behind them? or did the bunny look at them?

After a moment the white bunny stopped paying attention and continued eating.

They took a deep breath and take the last step.

Before they could finish their last step, their bodies freeze and their eyes widen by an unexpected voice.

"Are you done sneaking around?" the bunny murmured in an exasperated tone, "I know my body is so sexy and irresistible, but I don't expect it will get me this much trouble. Oh, fucking God what did I do to deserve this?"

The bunny touched its forehead with its front paw and shooked its head side-to-side seemingly wanted to show its helplessness.
