Chapter 191: Dao Fruit Qi Accumulation, Physical Body Advances Again

"Understood! Especially Hidden Nine and Hidden Ten who don't submit to the God Hidden One; if those two dare to approach the silver coffin without authorization, I will definitely teach them a lesson." Hidden Eleven was very worried that those two would obtain the combat intent of the God of the Nine Li.

Li Youyi patted his shoulder: "I trust you with this."

Hidden Eleven was now in high spirits and laughed: "I think the grand plan to capture Yang Qingxi can be implemented ahead of schedule; I'm incredibly strong now. One Yang Qingxi is not enough for me to fight. If there really are two, then I'll capture a pair, one on the left, one on the right."

Li Youyi also felt that Hidden Eleven was inflating significantly; if there really were two Yang Qingxis, that combat power would make even ordinary successors wary.

"Don't be hasty, wait for my news. To deal with her, we must have a sure-fire grasp; this woman is very calculating, don't underestimate the enemy," Li Youyi said.

Hidden Eleven nodded: "You're not coming with us?"

"You go first, I'm waiting for someone."

Li Youyi decided to stay and wait for Brother Zuoqiu Ting; after all, someone had just saved his life, so he had to thank him.

The group of Hidden Ones left, and Qin Garden became exceptionally quiet.

Li Youyi didn't go inside; he brushed away the accumulated snow and sat alone on a stone stool in the courtyard.

He opened the ice jade medicine box given by the Hidden Lord; inside was a golden thousand-year cold ginseng, which already had a human-like posture and consciousness, equivalent to a living creature that had already been conceived; if taught by a master, it could even become a genius martial cultivator of the demon race.

It was sealed by runes, imprisoned and motionless.

"Humans view demons as a different species, medicine as a supplement, and beasts as food. How do demons view humans?"

"In this world, either you eat me, or I eat you. Weakness is the greatest sin!"

Sighing, he threw the thousand-year cold ginseng to the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors.

Li Youyi felt the pain from his injuries, took a Qi-Increasing Pill, and took out a blood crystal, holding it in his hand. While circulating his magic power to heal his wounds, he absorbed the blood Qi and accumulated Qi.

Racing against time, pursuing stronger cultivation and combat power.

This wait lasted until the next morning.

The snow had stopped, and the warm sun shone in the morning.

To his surprise, Brother Zuoqiu Ting didn't come to Qin Garden overnight, so there was no way to know what the result was last night. Instead, he waited for Hidden Ten.

Hidden Ten was dressed in night-traveling clothes, arriving in a stealth state, entering the courtyard and disturbing the accumulated snow, which was how Li Youyi perceived her.

At this moment, she was only three steps away from Li Youyi.

Killing him would only take a single thought.

Li Youyi looked at the black-clad figure with an exquisite and curvaceous figure that had suddenly appeared on the snow on the ground, and sighed: "Is the gap this big?"

Hidden Ten wore no makeup, no gorgeous accessories, just a ponytail, fresh and capable, completely the opposite extreme from the exquisite and flashy appearance when she performed the dance. She said: "How long have you been cultivating? Do you know that you are already famous!"

"Oh? Has the news spread so quickly?" Li Youyi thought it was the aftermath of the battle with Yang Zhiyong last night.

After all, that was one of the top ten experts in Lizhou.

And the strength of the younger generation in Lizhou was definitely in the forefront among the seven states of the Southern Region.

Hidden Ten said: "There were many martial cultivators at the Mingyue Seven Stars Pavilion at the time; it would be hard for it not to spread."

Li Youyi realized he seemed to have misunderstood!

That wasn't right either; he had warned Brother Zuoqiu Baiyuan and Qi Wangshu yesterday not to talk nonsense about the matter of the Hidden Ember. After all, it couldn't be confirmed that the Ember Spirit inside Gan Yanzhen was definitely the Hidden Ember.

Furthermore, widely publicizing this matter would easily provoke the opponent.

"Is it about that Ember Spirit?" Li Youyi said.

Hidden Ten said: "Just an Ember Spirit, that's a small matter. What made you famous is that line about capturing Yang Qingxi. Saying that in front of Yang Qingxi herself, the people who heard it at the time were all stunned!"

"Now many people treat it as a joke, appearing in tea-time conversations, and it has even spread to the Immortal Forest."

"Everyone mocks you and Shi Shishi for being too arrogant and overestimating your own strength, saying you will definitely bring disaster upon yourselves, and they all want to see how you die at the hands of Yang Qingxi."

Li Youyi was speechless: "Really, good things don't go out the door, but bad things spread a thousand miles. I don't want this kind of fame! That's not right, just one line about capturing Yang Qingxi, how could it spread so widely?"

"Because someone is stirring up trouble, explaining the purpose of your wanting to capture Yang Qingxi, saying you... anyway, it's unbearable words like flowing streams. How could the gossip-mongers of the world not be interested in this?"

Seeing that Li Youyi actually didn't refute it and had an extremely embarrassed look on his face, Hidden Ten frowned deeply: "Is it actually true?"

"No! How could it be? Who spread it?" Li Youyi said.

Hidden Ten looked him over carefully and said: "It seems to have spread from the wolf den!"

"Those people in the Earth Wolf King Army, really..."

Li Youyi wanted to slap his thigh in pain; he hadn't done anything, yet he had brought a wave of lewd fame upon himself. Fortunately, he was currently unknown, so everyone would discuss it for a while and it would pass!

Hidden Ten had come to deliver the Dao Fruit.

Just delivering a Dao Fruit, of course, didn't require her to come personally. She came, naturally, because of the combat intent of the God of the Nine Li; Hidden Eleven was now truly arrogant to the heavens and didn't give her any face at all.

Li Youyi opened the iron box containing the Dao Fruit; the material of this iron box was extraordinary, a kind of extremely dense metal.

On the surface and inside the iron box, a total of three layers of runes were designed, and inside there was a small destruction array. If forced open, the Dao Fruit would also turn to ashes.

A Dao Fruit was the Martial Dao foundation that only a person at the perfection of the Dao Seed Realm could cultivate.

With an excited mood, Li Youyi dismantled the runes and arrays one by one, and the treasure, which looked like a pigeon-egg-sized blue bead inside, finally appeared before his eyes.

It was too brilliant, stinging Li Youyi's eyes so he couldn't open them, and there were countless scriptures on it, flashing incessantly.

Just the moment it was opened, the entire courtyard was filled with explosive magic power energy, and quite a bit leaked out.

Li Youyi hurriedly closed it, pressed his palm on it, breathed at length, and said: "Thank you, Senior Sister Hidden Ten, for making the trip personally."

"No need to thank me, it's not a big deal..."

After pondering, Hidden Ten said: "Hidden Eleven said that to contemplate the combat intent of the God of the Nine Li, I need your consent?"

"You know about the combat intent of the God of the Nine Li? That was something I brought out from the Immortal Burial Town at the risk of my life; um, the Hidden Lord has entrusted me with full responsibility."

Li Youyi stopped talking when he reached this point.

Forced by helplessness, Hidden Ten continued: "I heard Hidden Twenty-five's meaning, that as long as one is a Hidden One, one can try to obtain, contemplate, and feel it."

"That's right, that's my idea." Li Youyi said.

"Then can you write a note for me, so Hidden Eleven doesn't stand outside the silver coffin and show off his power; he is truly too arrogant."

Hidden Ten had already prepared paper and pen, brushed away the snow, and placed it on the stone table beside him.

"Write what?" Li Youyi said.

Hidden Ten was patient to the limit, no longer beating around the bush with him, and said directly: "Make a condition, how can I go and obtain the combat intent of the God of the Nine Li."

"I'll be straight with you too; the combat intent of the God of the Nine Li was brought out to buy people's hearts. The purpose is not pure, but you also know the value of this thing; it can cast a higher-level Dao Seed. If I can't even buy people's hearts, then it's a cheap sale!" Li Youyi said.

Hidden Ten nodded and said: "The price is fair! Fine, from now on you are the God Hidden One, and Hidden Ten will definitely obey your orders."

Li Youyi finally waited for this day and said: "You are known for your dual mastery of dance and sword, so dance a dance for me first!"

Hidden Ten frowned: "Do you want to humiliate me?"

"If you can't even do such a small request, how can I believe you truly submit to me? To put it bluntly, you don't take me seriously at all; you just want to obtain the combat intent of the God of the Nine Li as soon as possible."

Li Youyi picked up his pen and started writing on the white paper, continuing: "The Hidden Sect rules state that Hidden Ones must absolutely obey the God Hidden One. If you only submit when my cultivation is strong enough, then don't mention a dance; when the time comes, if I ask you to serve in bed, you won't be able to refuse! So, before doing something, you must think clearly about the consequences. Isn't your true thought that Hidden Nine should be the God Hidden One? My sudden appearance makes you very uncomfortable."

"Take it! You should be glad that I am not a God Hidden One who is harsh to his subordinates, and even less a sinister and shameless God Hidden One."

Hidden Ten never imagined that a martial cultivator who was only in the Gushing Spring Realm a few months ago could have such a steady and experienced side. She picked up the note on the table, her beautiful eyes shimmering with light, and said softly: "Can you add Hidden Nine's name... he has extremely strong self-esteem and I'm afraid he won't come to beg you!"

"Is this request going too far?" Li Youyi said.

Hidden Ten said: "Dancing, wearing this outfit, will lose a lot of aesthetic appeal."

"Fine!"

Li Youyi added Hidden Nine's name.

After Hidden Ten left, Li Youyi instantly threw the matter just now to the back of his mind, reopened the iron box, took out the Dao Fruit, and placed it between his two hands.

One hand in the sky, one hand on the earth, airtight.

Using the spring eyes in the palms of his hands, he absorbed the magic power from the Dao Fruit and transported it to the third Qi Sea.

One hour later,

In the third Qi Sea, two square feet of Qi increased.

"Using a Dao Fruit is twice as fast as taking a Qi-Increasing Pill. The two can be done together, and the Qi accumulation speed is three times what it was before."

It was impossible to accumulate Qi and cultivate for twelve hours every day without resting at all. Furthermore, time needed to be left to cultivate the physical body, shape the flesh and internal organs, and create more combat intents.

As for the Qi tempering time, it was actually saved!

Because the magic power absorbed from the Dao Fruit was of an extremely high grade and pure.

"The Fifth Realm is in the Wind Mansion, the Sixth Realm is in the Ancestral Field, whether it can be accomplished depends entirely on money," where money here refers to the money to buy Dao Lotuses and Dao Fruits.

Unfortunately, he hadn't started cultivating the Sixth Sea Wind Mansion yet, so the true value of the Dao Fruit's magic power was completely wasted, unable to cultivate Fifth-Order Qi.

The grade of magic power and the quantity of magic power had always been the biggest gap between him and the Five Seas and Six Seas martial cultivators.

Li Youyi secretly set a goal to spend at least eight hours a day accumulating Qi. In this way, he could cultivate the third Qi Sea to perfection in half a month. There would even be three or four days of loose time to arrange flexibly.

There were still nineteen days until New Year's Eve.

Li Youyi communicated with his mental power and asked: "Master Guan, can I use space power to directly strike the Dao Fruit into the Qi Sea?"

"You can! But your third Qi Sea is still too small, striking the Dao Fruit in is very dangerous, and without being tempered by the meridians, the rejection will also be very strong. Wait until you open the fourth Qi Sea; if it's big enough, come find me then, and I'll give you a helping hand. Youyi, you are a bit too hasty!" Master Guan responded.

"I know! After the Qianlong Lantern Festival, I will slowly temper and settle."

Li Youyi relaxed and said: "Once the Dao Fruit enters the sea, Qi accumulation will be fast!"

For the next five days, Li Youyi cultivated in seclusion alone in Qin Garden; Brother Zuoqiu Ting never appeared, and he didn't wait for Hidden Ten either.

While practicing the move "Puxian Reflecting the Mirror," bursts of subtle dragon roars came from his body.

His physical body broke through by a small half-realm.

"Clap! Clap! Clap..."

The sound of clapping applause rang out.

Brother Zuoqiu Ting, who didn't know when he had arrived, sat gracefully and handsomely on the eaves of the small building and laughed: "Blood flowing like a dragon's roar, physical body cultivated well, blood Qi has reached small success!"

Chan Hai Guan Wu had long said that he had been cultivating in Shaoyang Star for a long time and had absorbed a large amount of blood mist there, so his blood Qi cultivation would be very fast.

Li Youyi could clearly feel the increase in his physical strength; if he were to face Yang Zhiyong again now, he shouldn't be suppressed and beaten!

"I've been waiting for you for several days, why did you only come now?" Li Youyi stopped his move and stood in the courtyard.

"I am the First Successor, there are a pile of headaches to deal with; do you think I'm very free? Now countless mountains are pressing on my head."

The voice changed direction, and Brother Zuoqiu Ting appeared on the stone stool in the courtyard.

"Did you kill Yang Qingxi?" Li Youyi asked.

"Kill her... then how can I watch the flowing streams?"

Brother Zuoqiu Ting raised a handsome and extraordinary face, whose stranger it was unknown, and stared at Li Youyi with those bright eyes, half-smiling.
