Due to his title and untainted body, Yuan's cultivation speed more than doubled, not to mention the Dragon's Peak that was abundant with spiritual energy. Yuan absorbed over 3,000 Qi every second, and in just a minute, he'd absorbed over two hundred thousand Qi.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hua sat in front of Yuan and watched him cultivate in silence.
'What a crazy cultivation speed for someone at the Spirit Warrior realm… He's absorbing the spiritual energy like he's eating food, almost like an unstoppable monster.' Xiao Hua thought to herself as she stared at Yuan's peaceful face with admiration on her face.
'At this rate, Brother Yuan will absorb enough spiritual energy to breakthrough to Spirit Master in a month… And even though Brother Yuan won't become a Spirit Master in time for the Mystic Realm, it's already an incredible feat, especially since we're still in the Lower Heavens where the quality of Qi isn't as good…'
After an hour of cultivation, unbeknownst to Yuan or Xiao Hua, inside Yuan's body, the Dragon Essence he'd absorbed just finished merging with the golden symbols engraved in his bones, causing them to change slightly before emitting a bright and golden glow.
Whoosh!
The spiritual energy in the area suddenly grew restless, and they began rushing toward Yuan's body as though Yuan's body had become a black hole with intense suction.
"W-What's going on?" Xiao Hua mumbled in a dazed voice when she noticed this sudden change, and it was unlike anything she has ever seen before.
Ding!
[Nine Dragon Symbols has been activated!]
[Nine Dragon Symbols have reached level one]
[Due to the Nine Dragon Symbols, your cultivation speed have increased by 1,000%]
Yuan's cultivation speed suddenly increased by a whopping 1,000 percent, shocking and puzzling Yuan at the same time, as he had no idea what this Nine Dragon Symbols was or how he'd obtained it.
However, he didn't think about it too much for now and decided to focus on cultivating, as he was worried that if he'd stopped, this sudden boost would disappear as well.
[+8,411 Qi]
[+8,301 Qi]
[+8,569 Qi]
His Qi gathering speed per second immediately doubled, allowing him to absorb over 8,000 Qi every single second, and in just an hour, Yuan had managed to absorb almost 30 million Qi!
Xiao Hua watched Yuan cultivate with her mouth wide open and jaw dropped. What caused this sudden and explosive increase in cultivation speed? Does it have anything to do with the Dragon Essence? However, she has never heard of essences having such a unique ability after being absorbed! After all, even though the Dragon Essence had the ability to gather spiritual energy at Dragon's Peak, such an ability shouldn't have transferred to Yuan after he absorbed it! Otherwise, it would be too powerful, and the heavens would never allow such a flaw to exist!
'Wait a second… Brother Yuan also managed to obtain a magical beast's ability after he consumed its monster core! Maybe he can also do the same with their essence? But that would be too…' Xiao Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Yuan's unbelievable existence.
Whenever it feels like she has witnessed all there is to Yuan's talents, he would suddenly show even more talents like some sort of magic show! But instead of taking out a rabbit from his hat, Yuan takes out unbelievable talents that would leave anyone filled with jealousy if they knew about it!
After another 6 hours of cultivation, Yuan decided to finally stop cultivating as it was getting late.
"Hmm? Xiao Hua? You were sitting there this entire time?" Yuan finally noticed Xiao Hua sitting in front of him when he opened his eyes.
"Yes…" Xiao Hua nodded with a dazed look on her face.
"I made some really good progress today," Yuan said with a smile on his face, and then he asked, "By the way, do you know anything about the Nine Dragon Symbols?"
"Nine Dragon Symbols? Xiao Hua has never heard of that before. Is that a treasure?" she asked with a tilted head.
"I don't know, but I think that is what's causing the explosive increase in my cultivation speed."
"Nine Dragon Symbols… Perhaps the phoenix will know something." Xiao Hua then said.
Yuan nodded, "I'll ask her when she comes back."
A few moments later, Xiao Hua entered the necklace before Yuan logged off the game.
Once Meixiu returned, she immediately went to cook dinner as usual before feeding Yuan.
After feeding Yuan, Meixiu went to take a quick shower before retiring for the day inside her room.
"Let's see if his friend has arrived yet…"
Meixiu wore the helmet and immediately went inside Cultivation Online.
Once she was inside the game, Meixiu looked around the place, and she immediately noticed a small commotion right outside the city gates.
Meixiu narrowed her eyes at the crowd of people that appeared to be surrounding an individual— a very beautiful young woman wearing tight red robes and a very mature body.
"That must be her…" Meixiu mumbled to herself before she approached her.
"Excuse me…" Meixiu tried to push her way to the young woman in the red dress, but alas, the crowd was too strong for her to do anything.
"Get out of my way!" A clear voice suddenly resounded loudly.
The place immediately turned silent, and a path quickly appeared in the crowd.
A few moments later, the young woman in the seductive red clothes walked out of the crowd and stopped in front of Meixiu.
"A naturally bored face and someone who doesn't understand 'fun'... You fit the description the Young Master gave me. Are you the Young Master's friend?" Feng Yuxiang asked Meixiu.
"By Young Master, do you mean Yuan?" Meixiu asked.
Feng Yuxiang nodded and said, "Looks like I have found the right person. Come with me, I'll bring you to the Eastern Continent so you can meet with the Young Master."
Author's Note: For those confused about the numbers, it's Cultivation Speed x Base Qi Absorption Rate. Yuan's cultivation technique absorbs around 500 Qi per second, and it's 610% and 1610% of that 500, not 1000% of 3000.
