Chapter 9 - Food and Emotions part 2

After the whole ordeal with Little An, she went back to her cooking and started from where she left.

She scooped up half a bowl of noodles and put in two spoon full of fried sauce into it. Then she placed some stir fried vegetables and mushroom on the side of the bowl and the half boiled egg on top of it.

She prepared two bowls of noodles as she could see from the corner of her eyes, a little head poking out from the void with sparkling water like eyes staring at the bowls of noodles while fidgeting with her fingers nervously.

"Come here, little An. Taste it and see if it's good or not"

She didn't seem to get what I was saying for a few seconds before the obvious joy and happiness flooded her entire face as she jumped up and down like a little cat and came running over.

I also summoned a simple wooden table with two chairs and placed the two bowls of noodles on the table.

She came over and sat on one of the chairs while I sat on the other. I placed one bowl of noodles infront of her while I took the other and ate a mouthful of noodles with a chopsticks.

Even after sitting here, she was still a little nervous as she was looking me in the eyes and trying to gain some form of courage. 

Finally, after a few seconds of doing nothing but staring between the bowl of noodles and my face, she seemed to have gained some courage from God knows where as she took the chopsticks into her hands and copied exactly what I was doing. She first took a little bit of noodles with her chopsticks and blew on it three times to let it cool down a bit, then put it into her mouth and started chewing it.

As she was chewing the noodles, her face showed a variety of emotions from shock to joy to pure bliss as the flavours seemed too overwhelming for her.

"So, how is it?? Is it not good? " I asked while also showing somewhat of a sad look as her ears immediately perked up and she looked in my direction and seeing my somewhat sad look, she frantically started explaining to me.

"No no no no, big sis, it's soo delicious that I don't have any words to describe it. The flavours seemed to be dancing on the tip of my tounge. It's really delicious, I'm telling the truth. I could probably eat a hundred no two hundred bowls of noodles right now, big sis" she said all these in one breath as her cheeks puffed like that of little furry kitten. 

Seeing her trying to cheer me up with her clumsy words and acts really made me a lot more happy than eating food after such a long time.

I laughed a little as teasing her like this became a source of joy for me. As she realised that she has been teased by me, she pouted and turned head to the side and continued eating while eyeing me from the corner of her eyes.

'How cute' I thought as I subconsciously extended my arms and rubbed her head a few times before I felt satisfied. In the meantime, her earns turned bright red as she felt shy and embarassed and she lowered her head and continued eating her fill.

After finishing eating out meal, I felt truly satisfied and full not just physically but spirituality as a newfound strength filled me from the insides as I was very eager to start cultivating again and reach nascent soul stage as soon as possible.

And I did just that as I sat down in a lotus position and activated 'Lan Xue' and immersed myself in Cultivation. 

At the foundation building stage, the crucibles that were formed in the three dantians in my body turned out to be transparent in colour which was only unique to master. According to master, this colour represents limitless potential and the future depends upon the individuals themselves.

As the pure qi in my surroundings became thicker and thicker, I started absorbing them at a constant speed. 

In the foundation building stage, your only aim is to make your foundation more robust and elastic. For that the liquid qi which was formed when going from the qi condensation stage to foundation building stage has to be used carefully and very meticulously while strengthening my foundation and also removing any flaws that might exist in them.

As I continued to absorb the pure qi into my body and guiding it towards my dantians to further refine my crucibles while also filling them with pure qi.

Unbestknown to me, I had already entered a heightened state of immersion in my Cultivation which only further increased my efficiency and concentration which gave me 100% results with very little effort. But I didn't dare slack off as I used every ounce of my effort and concentration to carefully guide the pure qi towards my crucibles and further solidify my foundation while also filling them to the brim with power.

Continuing this dull yet meticulous process, though did not take much physically but still consumed me a bit mentally. 

As I continued my Cultivation, it continued to rise from the initial foundation building stage to perfection foundation building stage. At this stage I've already refined my foundation to the very maximum and filled them with spiritual power to the point where any more would probably cause them to burst.

Though It could've only taken me a maximum of 1 year to go to perfection foundation building stage, I still took more than 5 years so that not a single flaw could exist in my foundation.

After coming out of my state of immersion, I immediately felt invigorated with my newfound power and vitality as the limits of what I could do with my power seemed to have increased by a lot.

As I was thinking about continuing to cultivate and reach nascent soul stage as soon as possible, little An suddenly came and made quite a confusing announcement which I wasn't sure if it was a good news or a bad news.
