He sat cross-legged, using all his Soul Power to guide the Five Elements Spiritual Qi around his body.
At first, the Spiritual Qi would dissipate before even getting close to his body; later, it would enter his body but vanish before completing a single circulation and entering his Dantian.
Mo Xuanye couldn't help but lament that the Five Spiritual Roots Aptitude was indeed worthy of being called a trash Spiritual Root. At the same time, he had given up all hope regarding his Five Elements Spiritual Physique.
Each type of Spiritual Physique has different effects: some accelerate Cultivation speed, some enhance combat power, some improve Comprehension Ability, and so on.
The Five Elements Spiritual Physique can increase affinity for Five Elements attributes and also accelerate Cultivation speed.
If he truly possessed a Five Elements Spiritual Physique, the speed at which he drew Qi into his body should be no worse than a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
And now, twenty full days had passed since Mo Xuanye began to Cultivate after obtaining the Cultivation Technique.
He could sense Spiritual Qi, but he simply couldn't draw Qi into his body and open his Dantian.
As for why he could sense the presence of Spiritual Qi so quickly, he had learned the reason through his studies at the clan school during this period.
It was because his soul strength far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Not only his soul, but even the meridians within his body were wider and tougher than those of ordinary people.
Yesterday, the Spiritual Qi dissipated only when it reached near his Dantian; surely, today it should be possible.
Mo Xuanye sat cross-legged, once again using his Soul Power to guide the Five Elements Spiritual Qi into his body, then circulated the Five Elements Qi Refining Art, completing one cycle within his body before slowly moving towards his Dantian.
As the Five Elements Qi Refining Art circulated, Spiritual Qi would automatically dissipate into the air every moment, but fortunately, new Spiritual Qi would replenish it.
Almost there, almost there, just a little more.
Go!
Mo Xuanye guided the Spiritual Qi to rush towards his Dantian.
“Boom~”
It was like a sudden clap of thunder in his Dantian; the previously sealed Dantian was instantly broken open as the Spiritual Qi entered it.
Mo Xuanye's mind also surged into his Dantian along with the Spiritual Qi.
Thin, five-colored Spiritual Qi transformed into a layer of mist, suspended within his Dantian.
Big, the Dantian felt nothing but big to Mo Xuanye.
Just then, a piece of information appeared out of thin air in Mo Xuanye's Sea of Consciousness.
Nine Spiritual Yuan Body.
This was the special Physique his current body possessed.
His Dantian was nine times the size of an ordinary person's, his meridians were nine times wider and tougher, his soul strength was nine times that of an ordinary person, and his body strength was also nine times that of an ordinary person.
These were the benefits the Nine Spiritual Yuan Body brought him; as for whether there were other hidden benefits, he had no idea.
But looking at these benefits, Mo Xuanye was a bit unsure whether to be happy or to cry.
The Nine Spiritual Yuan Body was undoubtedly very powerful; such a Physique could only be fully utilized if it belonged to a Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivator.
But for a Five Spiritual Roots Cultivator, whose Cultivation speed was already like a snail's crawl, and now with a Dantian nine times larger than others, it meant that to Breakthrough to the same Realm, he would need at least nine times the Spiritual Qi of an ordinary person, and possibly even more.
Fortunately, I have the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which allows me to receive spiritual feedback from Spirit Beasts; otherwise, it would be unknown if I could even Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Third Layer like my parents.
Calming himself, Mo Xuanye continued to guide the Spiritual Qi to circulate the Five Elements Qi Refining Art.
At this time, his Dantian had just been opened, and the Spiritual Qi within it was still extremely unstable, requiring further stabilization.
“Good morning, Father, Mother.”
The next day, Mo Xuanye woke up early and enthusiastically greeted Father Mo and Mother Mo.
“Morning. You're up a bit early today, aren't you, boy? What, no more sleeping in?” Mo Wenyan teased.
“Cough cough.” Mo Xuanye lightly coughed twice, straightened his body, and a faint, almost imperceptible Spiritual Qi fluctuation emanated from within him.
Father Mo, who was chopping firewood, dropped his axe with a clang, then shouted, “Wenlian, Wenlian, come out, come out!”
“What are you yelling about so early in the morning? So much energy, why were you a coward last night?” Mother Mo grumbled as she walked out of the kitchen.
As soon as she came out, she saw the Spiritual Qi fluctuations around Mo Xuanye's body.
“Ah~”
Mother Mo let out a surprised cry, then rushed forward and embraced Mo Xuanye.
“Son, you've drawn Qi into your body and advanced to Qi Refining First Layer?”
“But how could it be so fast? Aren't you a Five Spiritual Roots? A Five Spiritual Roots shouldn't be able to draw Qi into their body in less than three months, according to reason?”
“That's right, son, your speed is comparable to a Three Spiritual Roots Cultivator! Could it be that Elder San made a mistake that day?”
“Bang~”
“Ouch, why did you hit me?”
“I hit you because of that! How could Elder San make a mistake on something as important as Spiritual Root testing? And weren't you there that day?”
“You're right.”
Mo Xuanye looked at his excited parents, also overjoyed.
“Son, wait here, Mother will go kill a Five-Colored Brocade Chicken to make soup for you to drink. The Five-Colored Brocade Chicken's Spiritual Qi is gentle and perfectly suited for you to consolidate your Cultivation now.”
With that, Mo Wenlian rushed towards the chicken coop in the distance.
Mo Wenlian was a spiritual plant farmer; besides tending to the clan's spiritual fields, she also raised a flock of Five-Colored Brocade Chickens.
The Five-Colored Brocade Chickens were something she obtained by accident and then raised herself; they did not belong to the clan.
Although Five-Colored Brocade Chickens are First-Order Yao Beasts, their Cultivation generally only reaches Qi Refining First or Second Layer after adulthood, with very few breaking through to the Third Layer.
However, their chicken meat's Spiritual Qi is extremely gentle and easy to absorb. Most importantly, it tastes incredibly delicious and is quite popular.
Before long, Mo Xuanye saw Mother Mo walking back, holding a Five-Colored Brocade Chicken that was constantly clucking.
This Five-Colored Brocade Chicken seemed to know its fate and struggled desperately, but it appeared quite pale and powerless.
Just then, the Classic of Mountains and Seas in Mo Xuanye's Sea of Consciousness trembled slightly, and a piece of information entered Mo Xuanye's mind.
【Five-Colored Brocade Chicken】
Analysis: A Five-Colored Brocade Chicken with a trace of Five-Colored Peacock Bloodline. It naturally possesses extremely high affinity for Five Elements Spiritual Qi and is highly spiritual. If fed a large amount of First-Order Spirit Medicine, Five-Colored Flower, it can activate the faint Five-Colored Peacock Bloodline within its body, possessing immense potential.
Suggestion: Contract!
Five-Colored Peacock, wasn't the Peacock Great Bright King, who was rumored to even dare swallow Saints into his belly, a Five-Colored Peacock?
He hadn't expected such a chicken to actually possess the Five-Colored Peacock Bloodline.
Seeing that Mother Mo was about to butcher the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken, Mo Xuanye quickly stopped her, “Wait, Mother, I suddenly feel a bit close to this Five-Colored Brocade Chicken. How about we don't butcher it? Let me raise it instead.”
Mother Mo asked doubtfully, “Raise it? Son, when you go to the clan school later, tell Elder San about drawing Qi into your body. Elder San will naturally take you to adopt a young Spirit Beast or get a Spirit Beast egg, which is much better than this Five-Colored Brocade Chicken that can only eat.”
“That's right, son. A Five-Colored Brocade Chicken can't help you work, nor can it help you fight. You're not going to raise it just to butcher and eat it when you get hungry, are you?” Mo Wenyan also said with a smile.
“Cluck cluck cluck~” The Five-Colored Brocade Chicken seemed to have heard what the two of them said. It let out a series of frantic squawks, but no one understood what it was saying.
