My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 656 - 647: Great Misfortune Survived Surely Brings Future Blessings

Chapter 656: Chapter 647: Great Misfortune Survived Surely Brings Future Blessings

Su Xuan was poisoned by a strange aromatic toxin inside the Snow Lotus Cave, which lead him into an illusion. Fortunately, by being alert and severing the neck of the village chief inside, he was able to return to reality.

At this time, Su Xuan was both hungry and thirsty, and in addition to having barely eaten properly for days, he felt his throat painfully dry. Suddenly, he thought of the lush Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus in front of him, consuming which would relieve his hunger and thirst.

So, Su Xuan left two blossoms for Qiuyue and Li Yuanyuan. Since he couldn’t escape from the cave at the moment, he might as well resolve his hunger and thirst first. Even if he were truly going to die, he couldn’t bear the thought of dying hungry.

The Snow Lotus were large, tender, and juicy. Before, Su Xuan had only eaten a third of a Snow Lotus from the Song Family, which was no longer fresh due to being stored for too long, and most of the moisture had evaporated. These couldn’t compare with the ones he had now.

Su Xuan ate them in just a few bites, feeling an indescribably refreshing sensation in his stomach, as if it cleansed his heart and spleen, and his whole being seemed to be sublimated, undergoing a transformation as if shedding his old self.

Su Xuan let out a satisfied burp, loosened his pants, and went to a corner to relieve himself, feeling quite comfortable.

Suddenly, he felt his head swelling and an invisible power inside him threatening to burst out.

At that moment, Su Xuan cursed his luck, realizing even good things shouldn’t be consumed in excess. Ginseng, for instance, could lead to nosebleeds when overeaten, and Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus was an even stronger tonic. Not to mention he had eaten twenty-three out of the twenty-five lotuses, leaving only two for Qiuyue and Li Yuanyuan.

Twenty-three lotuses! A normal person’s body could possibly rip apart due to the excessive nutrition from consuming so much.

At that time, Su Xuan’s body had not fully recovered, and since his chest bone had been damaged by his practice, the internal cultivation had already failed. A body without cultivation attempting to handle the immense energy from these Snow Lotuses was simply impossible.

Su Xuan felt a burning pain everywhere in his body as if countless ropes were pulling him apart in all directions, bringing waves of tearing pain.

Ah!

Su Xuan rolled about on the ground several times, as the inhuman torment was unbearable. If it were an ordinary person, they probably would have died from the pain already.

Eventually, as Su Xuan was rolling on the ground, he accidentally hit a wall and knocked himself out.

He didn’t know when or how much time had passed before Su Xuan slowly regained consciousness, his head still slightly aching but much better than before.

Looking at the mess on the ground, including the stone platform where the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus grew, all shattered by Su Xuan, fortunately, he placed the two reserved Snow Lotus in the corner, which were unscathed.

Witnessing the broken stone platform, Su Xuan realized how unbearable his pain must have been.

He shattered these stone platforms himself?

Looking at the thick stone slabs, Su Xuan realized that no matter how strong he was, it wasn’t possible for him to have broken them.

Suddenly, Su Xuan clenched his fist strongly, feeling an incredible strength in it.

Boom!

He punched a rock beneath his feet, and it shattered to pieces!

This...

Su Xuan was stunned, touching the chest bone used for cultivation and finding no pain, and when he probed his cultivation within, he discovered his power had somehow returned, and there was an unknown force continuously impacting him, seeking to elevate his Power Transformation Third Layer to a higher level.

"Great!"

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!

Su Xuan knew this was definitely because he ate too much Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus. The lotuses from here were of high quality, containing tremendous energy. Initially, his body struggled to control them, but now they seemed to have harmonized with his body and greatly aided its enhancement.

Sitting cross-legged, Su Xuan began to slowly gather the excess power within his body, aiming to enhance his own cultivation, which had now resumed to Power Transformation Third Layer. Jing Gangzhi had been at the Power Transformation Fourth Layer and physically surpassed Su Xuan, which is why he lost to Jing Gangzhi.

If at this moment, Su Xuan could have a sudden insight and boost his cultivation, that would be a tremendous fortune.

Suddenly, Su Xuan realized his cultivation had successfully broken through the Power Transformation Third Layer to the Fourth Layer, and the power within his body continued to change, as if not stopping there.

Power Transformation Fifth Layer!

Su Xuan’s eyes widened in disbelief as his cultivation surged to the Power Transformation Fifth Layer! He hadn’t expected the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus to be so potent. No wonder many practitioners cherished even the flawed Snow Lotus, as even a tiny bit could greatly help in enhancing cultivation, and Su Xuan had consumed twenty-three large Snow Lotuses!

Su Xuan felt his strength soaring, and according to cultivation levels, they were divided into Foundation Establishment, Dark Strength, Power Transformation, Divine Entry, Ancestor Returning.

Su Xuan’s current strength had reached the Fifth Layer of Power Transformation. If he were to make another breakthrough, his next step would be reaching the First Layer of Divine Entry. To achieve Divine Entry at a little over twenty years old was unprecedented in the entire history of Huaxia.

Su Xuan was extremely thrilled. The power within him continued to surge, not pausing for even a moment. Due to consuming too many Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotuses, Su Xuan needed a significant amount of time to completely digest them.

At this moment, time was equally precious to Su Xuan. Now that he had eaten a complete Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus and the toxins in his body had been eliminated, Qiuyue and Li Yuanyuan had not yet eaten one. If he didn’t manage to deliver the Snow Lotus to them promptly, they too would not survive the next few days.

Another problem currently presented itself before Su Xuan: he was trapped here with the stone door tightly closed, and not even a fly could enter through the gap in the stone wall. It seemed more difficult for Su Xuan to escape than to ascend to the heavens.

With so many Snow Lotuses on hand, and his cultivation already restored, even advancing to the First Layer of Divine Entry, it would be pointless if he couldn’t get out. This was no different from wearing rich, brocade clothes but walking in the dark.

Su Xuan tried to walk up to the stone door, hoping to smash through the stone wall with force. Alas, the wall merely shook slightly, showing no signs of opening.

Therefore, Su Xuan began searching for other exits in the cave, but his efforts were in vain. He also found several skeletons in the cave, remains of adventurers who had died because they could not escape. Su Xuan did not want to follow in their footsteps.

After searching several times without finding any valuable clues, Su Xuan wondered if he was destined to die here.

If he died, Qiuyue and Li Yuanyuan, without the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus as an antidote, would also die after two days.

Su Xuan couldn’t bear the thought of dying like this. He had so many wives; if he were to leave, who would take care of them, cherish, and protect them? The more Su Xuan thought about it, the more unacceptable he found it. There were still too many things he hadn’t done in this world. He couldn’t die, he absolutely must not die.

The more chaotic it became, the less urgent he must be. Su Xuan forcibly calmed himself and realized that the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus within him hadn’t been completely digested yet. So, he sat down again and began to meditate, the energy produced by the Snow Lotuses rapidly transforming within his body.

Su Xuan had previously consumed a Snow Lotus from the Song Family, that time it was just a third of one, and he knew that the Snow Lotus would generate energy in his body. But the energy this time seemed far too vast; he had been digesting for such a long time yet still hadn’t completely digested it.

When eating the Snow Lotus from the Song Family, it would take only two to three minutes to digest completely, but the power of this Snow Lotus was even greater and stronger.

Suddenly, Su Xuan was pleasantly surprised to find that his cultivation level had increased again! He had reached the Divine Entry Second Layer. Although this was usually a joyful occasion, Su Xuan still couldn’t feel happy, because if he couldn’t leave, what was the use of even higher cultivation?

Su Xuan still treated the matter as if he were trying to medicate a dead horse. He had a belief in his heart—to raise his strength by increasing his cultivation level, just in case he was fortunate enough to break open the stone door.

This had become Su Xuan’s last and only lifeline, so at this time he began to urgently digest the Snow Lotus within his body and continued to elevate his cultivation.

Persistence pays off, and Su Xuan’s cultivation level soared like a rocket. He had now reached the Divine Entry Fifth Layer! This meant that the next step would be Ancestor Returning.

Ancestor Returning, a state only ever heard of, and one that no one had ever achieved.

By now, Su Xuan wasn’t the slightest bit happy, as he couldn’t open the stone door and leave. Everything else seemed trivial in comparison; what use was it for him to be stronger?

Su Xuan was still deeply anxious because, although there was still a two-day deadline after getting out, Su Xuan felt he had just fallen asleep for a while, probably leaving at most only two days left.

Two days! To find Qiuyue, then descend the mountain... two days was already very rushed.

Cultivation, further cultivation, Su Xuan now had to discard all other distractions and focus entirely on improving his cultivation level and thoroughly digest the Snow Lotus within his body.

Finally, Su Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, his face flushed with red, and to his amazement, he discovered he had reached Ancestor Returning First Layer!

All the Snow Lotus inside him had been completely digested.

Su Xuan felt his body brimming with an endless surge of strength.

Boom!

Su Xuan threw a punch at the stone wall. This time, the force was so strong that the wall shook violently. Su Xuan laughed, filled with hope that he could escape.

Su Xuan tidied up the two Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotuses he had set aside in the corner and with all his might threw another punch. This time, he created a hole the size of a fist in the stone door!

Overjoyed, Su Xuan finally saw a way out. He continued to strike several more punches until he had made a hole large enough for a person to get through. Holding the two complete Snow Lotuses, Su Xuan strode out. The walls of the cave still bore many inferior Snow Lotuses, but even these were valuable to cultivators.

However, Su Xuan had no time to waste; he could not delay any longer. He had only two days left to deliver the Snow Lotuses to Qiuyue and Li Yuanyuan.

Suddenly, Su Xuan remembered falling from the Ice Cliff. If that was the case, Qiuyue was surely captured by Li Tianming. It was also possible that Jing Gangzhi had taken her with the intention of making her his disciple. Regardless of the situation, Su Xuan had to stop them immediately.

Su Xuan’s worries were not unfounded. At that moment, Qiuyue had already been taken to the Song Family, and Jing Gangzhi was preparing to accept her as his disciple and later, when he achieved Ancestor Returning, use Qiuyue for Dual Cultivation.
