The porridge was good. It was a medicated diet made by Miracle Doctor Xue, and it was extremely nourishing for the body.
Ling Yun drank five bowls in one go, and Cao Shanshan fed him five bowls in a row. Throughout the process, their eyes met, and their hearts were shaken. It was hard for others to understand if they weren't there.
Cao Shanshan's heart was full after the porridge was fed. Her body was so weak that she almost couldn't stand up.
Ling Yun felt a lot more energy in his body, and he wasn't as weak as before.
"I'm full. It's nourishing for both Qi and blood. Grandpa Xue, I've troubled you."
With just a sniff, Ling Yun knew what herbs were added to the porridge and what effects it had on the body. Of course, he knew that only Miracle Doctor Xue could concoct such a medicinal cuisine.
"Hmm, you little brat, when are you going to settle down so that this old man can live a more peaceful life?"
Miracle Doctor Xue used a reproachful tone, but he expressed his worry and heartache as an old man.
"Hehe, that's good …"
Ling Yun laughed. His body was in big trouble, and he couldn't not settle down even if he wanted to.
"Hmm, then I'm relieved. With you youngsters here, I won't get involved. I'm going home to rest."
Miracle Doctor Xue was very decisive. He left as soon as he said he would, disappearing in a flash.
"Kid, I have a lot of good herbs at my place. I haven't touched the dragon saliva you gave me. If you need anything, just go and get it."
Miracle Doctor Xue didn't forget to tell Ling Yun through telepathy before he left.
"Rascal, you can't just eat porridge. Do you want to eat some other staple food?"
Qin Dongxue asked with concern. She was afraid that Ling Yun wouldn't eat enough porridge.
"It's fine, Aunty. I'm full now. I'll eat tomorrow." Ling Yun shook his head.
Then, he looked up and scanned the haggard faces of everyone in the room. "I know you guys haven't had a good night's sleep these few days. Now that I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me anymore. Leave this place immediately and go back to your rooms to rest. No matter what happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Ling Yun looked at the haggard faces under the light and the pairs of red, swollen, and bloodshot eyes. His heart ached for them. Without any explanation, he chased them away and told them to get some sleep.
"Okay."
When Ling Yun said that, everyone agreed verbally. However, their feet were nailed to the ground and they refused to budge.
"Aunty." Ling Yun's face darkened as he looked at Qin Dongxue.
Qin Dongxue sighed helplessly and smiled. "Alright, alright. I know everyone is concerned about this brat, but since he's awake, we don't have to stay here any longer. Let's go back and rest."
Qin Dongxue knew that even a man made of steel wouldn't be able to endure nine days and nine nights like this. Everyone had already reached their limits and needed a good rest, including herself.
Since Qin Dongxue had spoken, everyone reluctantly left and returned to their respective rooms to rest.
But in the end, there was still one person who stayed in Ling Yun's room. Bai Xianer refused to leave no matter what. Ling Yun had no choice but to let her be.
After everyone left, Bai Xianer closed the door with a palm strike. Then, she jumped onto the bed and came to Ling Yun's side.
"Xian Er, you're the most disobedient." Ling Yun said helplessly as he pulled Bai Xianer into his arms.
"Big Brother Yun, you scared Xian Er to death …" Bai Xianer lay in Ling Yun's arms like a kitten, a contented smile on her charming face as her long eyelashes fluttered.
Ling Yun knew that Bai Xianer was talking about the Heavenly Tribulation. He hugged Bai Xianer tighter and comforted her. "What's there to be afraid of? We even survived the Heavenly Tribulation on Turtle Island. This kind of tribulation is nothing to us. "
Ling Yun was indeed crazy enough to kill the Drought Demon and Dracula, but that didn't mean that he didn't know what was going on. He knew that if he was really in danger, the Emperor Brush, Earth Emperor's Book, Shennong Cauldron, and Bodhi Seed would definitely rush to protect him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be stupid enough to resist the Heavenly Tribulation and do something so crazy and dangerous.
After all, he didn't know when the Heavenly Tribulation would end even though he had the confidence to kill the two powerful enemies before the effects of the Dragon Elephant Divine Force wore off.
If the time limit of the Dragon Elephant Divine Force was up, the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book would definitely come out to protect its owner. Ling Yun was absolutely confident of that!
Bai Xianer was smart and naturally thought of this. She nodded lightly and asked softly, "Big Brother Yun, are you in the Qi Refinement Realm now?"
"Yes, I did break through to the Qi Cultivation Realm that night. Otherwise, the Heavenly Tribulation wouldn't have descended. It's just that …" Ling Yun was a hundred percent sure of that.
It was just that he had miscalculated!
Ling Yun didn't expect that the moment the effects of the Dragon Elephant Divine Force disappeared, his body would be at its weakest. That was when the last bolt of Heaven's Tribulation descended. Furthermore, the Emperor Brush, Earth Emperor's Book, and the other artifact spirits weren't able to protect their masters in time. That was why Ling Yun was in such a life-threatening situation.
Since Ling Yun survived the Heavenly Tribulation, his realm was naturally stabilized at the first stage of the Qi Refinement Realm. However, his body still had some problems that he needed time to solve.
Ling Yun picked up the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone and continued to rest. At the same time, he shifted his body and pressed his head on Bai Xianer's perky and soft breasts. He closed his eyes and said lazily, "Xian Er, release some of your aura."
Bai Xianer felt her body go limp, and her beautiful face blushed. She responded obediently and released some Heavenly Fox Spiritual Energy.
Ling Yun could feel the powerful Heavenly Fox Spiritual Energy, but he realized that his body couldn't absorb it.
Sigh … It seems like the trouble is more serious than I thought!
Ling Yun sighed, knowing that he had overexerted his potential. He had to give up for now.
He had reached the first layer of the Aura Refining Realm, but he didn't have any True Qi in his body. He didn't have any Divine Sense, and he couldn't see inside his body. He had successfully broken through, but he had become a cripple in the Aura Refining Realm.
"Big Brother Yun, what's wrong?"
Bai Xianer noticed Ling Yun's expression and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine."
Ling Yun smiled and asked casually, "Xian Er, are the three stalks of spirit grass … alright?"
Ling Yun said that he would talk about it the next day, but other than the safety of everyone in Mansion Number One, he was most concerned about the three stalks of spirit grass. How could he not ask about it?
Bai Xianer smiled. "I knew you would ask about this. Don't worry, the three stalks of spirit grass are fine, especially the two stalks of Yin-Yang Grass. They're growing very well now, and they're about to mature!"
"Mm, that's good …"
Ling Yun was relieved to hear that the three stalks of spirit grass weren't destroyed in the Heaven's Tribulation.
Now that he had reached the Qi Cultivation Stage, Ling Yun could start practicing alchemy. He could also start practicing refining weapons. He planned to wait for the three spiritual herbs to mature before he started refining the Yin Yang Pill and the Dragon Spirit Pill. He would then use them for cultivation or advancement.
"Big Brother Yun, what is the Qi Refinement Realm?" Bai Xianer asked curiously.
Ling Yun smiled and answered casually, "The Qi Refinement Realm is generally divided into two stages for cultivators, namely drawing Qi into the body and refining Qi into the spirit."
"In the early stage of the Refinement Stage, the main thing is to draw Qi into the body. You can absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to strengthen your body and use it to condense your divine sense. At this stage, cultivators can perform alchemy as well as some basic refining. For example, they can refine some defensive magical equipment or attack magical equipment such as flying swords. Of course, with the condensed divine sense, the talismans made will be more magical and useful … "
"At the middle stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, one can integrate the Natal Flying Sword into the body. The Natal Flying Sword can change its size according to one's will, and one can even use Kinesis Flight.
"As for the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, one's divine sense is already very strong. Not only can a cultivator fly, but they can also summon Samadhi True Fire and lightning without the help of any medium! You can also make some spatial artifacts that can store items at will … "
Ling Yun's spatial ring was made by borrowing the Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Emperor Brush to reach Qi Refinement Realm Level Nine in an instant.
Ling Yun explained slowly, and Bai Xianer listened attentively. "Wow, then wouldn't Big Brother Yun be very powerful in the future?" Bai Xianer blinked her beautiful eyes in awe.
"That's nothing …" Ling Yun smiled with his eyes closed.
"When Big Brother Yun reaches the Golden Core Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm, that's when you'll be truly powerful …"
Reaching the Golden Core Realm and forming the Golden Core would grant one a lifespan of a thousand years. They would be able to move tens of thousands of miles in a day. In the eyes of ordinary people, they would be true immortals.
"Big Brother Yun, can Xian Er become as powerful as you in the future?" Bai Xianer asked excitedly.
Ling Yun opened his eyes and looked at Bai Xianer's peerless beauty. "Of course! When Xian Er grows six tails in the future, she'll be similar to me in the Foundation Establishment Realm. As long as she survives the Heavenly Tribulation and grows nine tails in the future, she'll become a true nine-tailed celestial fox. Her strength should be above the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. "
Bai Xianer wasn't satisfied. "What about after that?"
Ling Yun felt that Xian Er was like a curious and curious child. He chuckled and said, "What's next? Then you'll have to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and become a true immortal … "
"Xian Er can become an immortal?" Bai Xianer was surprised.
"As long as you get rid of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, you'll no longer be a human, and you'll no longer be a demon. Xian Er will definitely become an immortal!"
Towards the end, Ling Yun was also fascinated. If he failed the Heavenly Tribulation in the Cultivation World, could he become an immortal in this life?
"Big Brother Yun, how long more do we need to cultivate to become an immortal?"
Ling Yun drank his fill of the medicinal cuisine and laid comfortably in his bed. His eyelids felt heavy and drowsy. He mumbled, "It should be a long time. That depends on luck …"
With that, Ling Yun gently turned over and found the most comfortable sleeping position. He raised his hand and pressed it against Bai Xianer's perky chest, falling into a deep sleep.
Bai Xianer's beautiful eyes sparkled. Her beautiful face blushed as she quietly shrunk into Ling Yun's arms. (To be continued.)
