Chapter 1272: Chapter 1322: Rapid Qi Cultivation MethodLi Yifei and Jiang Ningxiangâs bodies were now filled with the Innate Vital Energy from the ancient stone wall, as if the energy had transferred directly from the stone wall into them.
However, although this energy resided in their bodies, Li Yifei found himself unable to utilize much of it. Despite the energy connecting with his own Innate Vital Energy, he couldnât manipulate it.
Only during the process of opening the stone wall did he and Jiang Ningxiang manage to absorb a portion of it. Over the past two days, Li Yifei tried to further assimilate the Innate Vital Energy, but with little success.
This left Li Yifei quite frustrated; it was like having an enormous check in his possession but being unable to cash itâan agonizing feeling akin to living in poverty while holding immense wealth.
Li Yifeiâs phone rang, and, upon seeing the caller ID, he realized it was Murong Yuanqing. He immediately answered the call.
"Elder Murong."
"Yifei, youâre back?"
"Iâve returned. The stone wall has been opened." Li Yifei proceeded to narrate all the events in detail.
"How audacious of them! They really have no regard for us people of Huaxia," Murong Yuanqing said, his anger rarely so evident.
Li Yifei replied, "However, the Noahâs Ark Organization approached me shortly afterward for a temporary truce, and I agreed for the time being."
"Hmm, thatâs a reasonable course of action. For now, prioritize protecting yourself and your people. But we must retaliate somehow; otherwise, theyâll only act even more recklessly within our borders."
"Elder Murong, Jiang Ningxiang and I both have the Innate Vital Energy from the stone wall within us. If youâre free, could you take a look at it for us?"
"Iâm quite curious about this matter myself. Iâll come by tomorrow to check it out."
Li Yifei was thrilled and immediately agreed.
By the next evening, Murong Yuanqing arrived at Li Yifeiâs house. Li Yifei and Jiang Ningxiang quickly welcomed him inside. Murong Yuanqing first inspected Li Yifeiâs energy and then Jiang Ningxiangâs. He marveled at the findings, saying, "This is truly peculiar. Normally, foreign energy in oneâs body poses a great risk, often causing significant harm. But this particular energy in your bodies is not just harmlessâitâs highly beneficial. Once you gradually absorb this energy, your strength will become immeasurable."
Jiang Ningxiang asked curiously, "So, does that mean weâll be able to defeat those bad guys?"
"Haha, defeating them would be childâs play. Once youâve absorbed it fully, even if they join forces, they wonât stand a chance against either of you."
Jiang Ningxiang stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "Wouldnât that mean weâll be more powerful than you, Elder Murong?"
Murong Yuanqing was completely unfazed and burst into laughter. "Haha, naturally! After all these years, finally, new masters have emergedâitâs a blessing indeed."
Li Yifei smiled wryly and said, "Elder Murong, I feel like I have no way of truly utilizing the energy within me."
"Donât rush it. Since this energy aligns with yours and doesnât repel it, youâll eventually absorb it fullyâitâs just a matter of time. Besides, your current gains are already substantial. Your strength now rivals mine, and youâre still unsatisfied? If those old folks knew about your progress, theyâd be green with envy."
Li Yifei considered this and agreed. Previously, the idea of matching the Grand Elder in combat was inconceivable. He truly had much to be grateful for.
After discussing their energy situation, Li Yifei asked Murong Yuanqing to examine Xu Shanshanâs injuries. Though Li Yifei believed Xu Shanshan was not seriously hurt, he wanted reassurance.
Murong Yuanqing finished his examination and confirmed that Xu Shanshanâs injuries were not severe. He added, "This is the sheer power of Innate Vital Energy. Had it been regular True Qi, Shanshan mightâve suffered far more."
Moving on from this topic, Li Yifei raised the idea of dual cultivation with his family.
Murong Yuanqing nodded, saying, "Theoretically, itâs possible. But the prerequisite is True Qi; otherwise, the other party wouldnât understand the path of dual cultivation, leading to one-sided gainsâlike the Tibetan Secret Schoolâs practices."
"Thatâs my concern as well," Li Yifei admitted. "But because of their moderate strengthâand since theyâve broken their maiden statusâthe effectiveness may be reduced."
"Iâm unsure about that," Murong Yuanqing replied. "This is something youâll need to test through practice and gather insights from."
Li Yifei chuckled and asked, "Do you know of any methods to help my wives cultivate True Qi quickly?"
"Haha, you already knowâthereâs no shortcut. It all depends on their fate," Murong Yuanqing responded.
"I thought Elder Murong might have some fast-track solutions," Li Yifei said.
"Fast-track... Well, actually, there is one," Murong Yuanqing suddenly interjected.
Li Yifeiâs eyes widened with excitement. "Elder Murong, you really have one?"
Murong Yuanqing smiled warmly and said, "Frankly, I had forgotten about it. Cultivating Qi primarily relies on a stable foundation. Those unconventional methods tend to bring serious risks. Thatâs why I never considered them. But in your unique case, with Innate Vital Energy and dual cultivation, you can neutralize the harmful aspects of such methods entirely."
Li Yifei nodded repeatedly. "Exactly! Thatâs absolutely feasible!"
Murong Yuanqing laughed heartily and patted Li Yifei on the shoulder. "Yifei, if this succeeds, the Li family will soar beyond imagination. Be careful not to let it go to your head!"
Li Yifei paused briefly, then gratefully replied, "Elder Murong, youâre rightâI was overconfident for a moment. Thank you for reminding me."
Murong Yuanqing stroked his beard, smiled, and said, "This quality of self-reflection is what Iâve always admired about you. But always remember, no matter how strong one becomes, one must never disregard the country, othersâ lives, or their dignity."
"Understood! I will remember this!" Li Yifei responded firmly.
"Good. I trust you!" Murong Yuanqing said as he patted Li Yifeiâs shoulder once more.
Murong Yuanqing then taught Li Yifei a cultivation technique. It wasnât particularly difficult, but it involved unusual methods requiring many rare medicinal ingredients for supplementation, including some poisonous substances to stimulate True Qi generation. Jiang Ningxiang and Xu Shanshan were visibly uneasy as they listened to the part about venomous creatures.
Li Yifei committed the method to memory in great detail before Murong Yuanqing departed. As a protector of the nation, Murong Yuanqing would leave matters concerning the Noahâs Ark Organization to other departments, but he would not tolerate their masters wreaking havoc on home soil.
"Brother Li... You... you really plan to use these?" Jiang Ningxiang stared at Li Yifeiâs notes, her face full of disbelief.
Li Yifei rubbed his nose and said, "Itâs indeed unpleasant, but itâs not like weâll use live insects. These are made into medicinal baths."
"Even then, just thinking about it is revolting! Imagine bathing in water filled with dead bugs... Oh my, thatâs unbearable!" Jiang Ningxiang shivered, goosebumps visibly appearing on her skin.
Xu Shanshan winced and added, "I guarantee that if you told my sister and the others whatâs inside, theyâd refuse to use it even if you begged."
Li Yifei laughed and said, "I know, which is why you must keep this a secret. Neither of you can tell them!"
Xu Shanshan and Jiang Ningxiang hesitated but remained silent.
Li Yifei rolled his eyes at them. "My dear aunties, this concerns their future! If they succeed in dual cultivation, theyâll all become top-tier masters. The Li familyâs strength will be unparalleled, and weâll never have to fear someone abducting our son again!"
Jiang Ningxiang pouted slightly. "Alright, fine. I wonât tell."
Xu Shanshan grinned mischievously. "Iâll keep silent for now, but once they achieve results, Iâm definitely telling them! Just imagining their faces then makes me laugh alreadyâhaha... cough, cough..."
Her amusement turned sour as Xu Shanshanâs laughter aggravated her internal injury, causing her to cough while grimacing.
Li Yifei quickly held Xu Shanshanâs hand, channeling energy to stabilize her chaotic True Qi. Concerned, he said, "See? Youâve gone and hurt yourself."
Xu Shanshan caught her breath but continued smiling cheekily. "Hurting myself over this doesnât matter if it gets everyone else later."
"Thatâs your sister weâre talking about!" Li Yifei retorted.
Xu Shanshan winked and said, "Weâre all family. There are no separate factions within. My sister and the rest are just like other sisters. If not, how could you stand as the head of the household?"
Li Yifei laughed, "You sure have a carefree perspective. But if your sister heard this right now, sheâd tear you apart."
"Hehe, itâs fine. Sooner or later, my sisterâs bound to tear into me anywayâwaiting or not doesnât change that." Xu Shanshan responded impishly.
After a round of jokes, Li Yifei left with Jiang Ningxiang to make preparations. He sternly instructed his staff to gather the required materials and forbade them from sharing anything about this matter with the ladies in the householdâor anyone in the inner house.
The staff were baffled as to what Li Yifei intended with such peculiar items.
