677: Chapter 649: Refining the Lotus Seed 677: Chapter 649: Refining the Lotus Seed At night, Li Chen sat in the courtyard, starting his cultivation practice.
By his side, there were two things placed.
One of them was the Cold Pool Water he had taken from the cliff’s Cold Pool.
Although its effect on him had diminished compared to before, it was still effective.
It wasn’t that the power of the Cold Pool Water had weakened, but rather that his own strength had increased.
On the other side, there lay the Lotus Seed he had just obtained.
In Li Chen’s eyes, this item was definitely a good thing.
When he first saw the Lotus Flower, before he even approached, he could sll an aura that refreshed his mind and spirit.
At that mont, Li Chen understood that this was an exceptionally valuable treasure.
Gradually channeling his True Qi, Li Chen’s expression turned solemn as he placed the Lotus Seed into his mouth.
The Lotus Seed didn’t even make Li Chen feel much as it lted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a pure and clear breath that flowed straight into his abdon.
Li Chen picked up the Cold Pool Water beside him and drank it all in one gulp.
The next mont, Li Chen felt that the True Qi within him began to circulate wildly.
It wasn’t him that was circulating it, but rather as if an invisible force was propelling his True Qi, and as it circulated, streams of energy from the Lotus Seed and the Cold Pool Water continuously rged into his True Qi, further strengthening himself and expanding his power.
Although this energy was also vast, compared to the Mysterious Energy that Li Chen had once desperately controlled and made his own, it was so much gentler.
If the Mysterious Energy was a raging wave, then this energy, ford by the Lotus Seed and the Cold Pool Water, was a babbling brook.
Although not as violent, it was constant and unending.
Li Chen could feel his True Qi continuously rising within this endless stream.
“Hoo—”
After a long while, Li Chen exhaled a long breath, lowered his hands, and his True Qi slowly returned to calm.
Only then did he open his eyes.
An unmistakable joy was written all over Li Chen’s face.
He could feel that his strength had once again made a breakthrough.
And the extent of this breakthrough was quite significant.
Although he had not jumped directly into the Profound Level this ti, he could feel that perhaps, he was not far from breaking through to the Profound Level.
“If I were to break into the Profound Level…”
Just as Li Chen was pondering, the Ginseng Doll suddenly ran over, anxiously waving its little arms at him.
“Yiya-yi!”
The Ginseng Doll pointed at the spot where the Lotus Seed had been placed, obviously making its intentions clear.
It was only because Li Chen had been cultivating the whole ti that it hadn’t run over to disturb him.
Now that Li Chen’s cultivation session was over, it obviously couldn’t wait any longer, waving its little arms, and Li Chen even noticed a glint of sothing crystalline at the corner of its mouth.
The little fellow was actually drooling!
Seeing the Ginseng Doll’s antics, Li Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
He took out a Lotus Seed and handed it to the Ginseng Doll.
Imdiately, a smile appeared on the Ginseng Doll’s face.
Hugging the Lotus Seed, it adorably rolled around on the ground twice, then swallowed the Lotus Seed in one bite.
“Yiya!”
After swallowing the lotus seed, the Ginseng Doll’s smile widened, looking almost indistinguishable from that of a human.
“Hehehe…”
The Ginseng Doll laughed and rolled twice on the ground before suddenly burrowing into the soil.
Watching the Ginseng Doll disappear, Li Chen’s lips curled into a smile.
This ti, he was only able to obtain this fine item thanks to the little fellow.
He used to be clueless about the direction for self-cultivation, but now, he couldn’t slack off.
Even though An Qin hadn’t explicitly told him too much information, Li Chen believed that there were definitely stronger figures beyond the Yellow Rank.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a need to define so many levels, it’s just that such powerful figures hadn’t appeared before him yet.
“Sigh…”
Suddenly reminded of sothing, Li Chen shook his head and let out a soft sigh.
That golden bug he couldn’t find was obviously a potential threat.
If he didn’t deal with this threat, he didn’t know when the Black General might reappear.
Even though his strength was now far beyond fearing the Black General, he worried that the Black General might target those around him.
And having an enemy lurking around was never a pleasant thing.
There may be a thousand days to be a thief, but can there be a thousand days to guard against one?
The next day, Li Chen resud his normal life, accompanying Lin Yi to their company and heading straight for the laboratory.
“Qianqian?”
Because they arrived quite early, the lab felt empty, but Li Chen imdiately spotted Wang Qianqian, who had already arrived.
“Why are you here so early?” Li Chen asked Wang Qianqian, sowhat surprised.
“Just woke up early,” replied Wang Qianqian with a smile, upon seeing Li Chen approach.
“Brother Cheen, I’ve been feeling really energized recently, and I wake up feeling refreshed every day without needing much sleep,” Wang Qianqian shared with a laugh.
“Is that so?” Li Chen nodded and smiled as well, but didn’t think much of it.
“Since you’re so energetic, why don’t we…” Li Chen’s lips tilted into a mischievous smile as he gestured towards the distant office with his chin.
Seeing Li Chen’s gesture, Wang Qianqian’s face instantly turned red.
“That wouldn’t be good…
It’s so early.”
Witnessing Wang Qianqian’s shy deanor, the naughty smile on Li Chen’s face beca even thicker.
“What’s wrong with that?
You’re already my girl, and besides, it’s early right now, so there’s nobody…”
As Wang Qianqian’s expression seed as if she wanted to burrow into a hole, Li Chen laughed and waved his hand, “Okay, okay, I’m just joking.
Do I look like soone that impatient?”
Wang Qianqian finally seed to breathe a sigh of relief.
“Having energy is a good thing,” said Li Chen.
“But you should also pay attention to rest and not overexert yourself.”
After speaking, Li Chen embraced Wang Qianqian and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, then smilingly said, “Alright, let’s get sothing to eat first.
You probably haven’t had breakfast yet since you ca this early, right?”
Wang Qianqian nodded.
However, neither Li Chen nor Wang Qianqian herself noticed that a fine golden line had appeared around her eyes at so point.
