Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1272 - 1322: Rapid Qi Cultivation Method

Li Yifei and Jiang Ningxiang’s bodies were now filled with the Innate Vital Energy from the ancient stone wall, as if the energy had transferred directly from the stone wall into them.

However, although this energy resided in their bodies, Li Yifei found himself unable to utilize much of it. Despite the energy connecting with his own Innate Vital Energy, he couldn’t manipulate it.

Only during the process of opening the stone wall did he and Jiang Ningxiang manage to absorb a portion of it. Over the past two days, Li Yifei tried to further assimilate the Innate Vital Energy, but with little success.

This left Li Yifei quite frustrated; it was like having an enormous check in his possession but being unable to cash it—an agonizing feeling akin to living in poverty while holding immense wealth.

Li Yifei’s phone rang, and, upon seeing the caller ID, he realized it was Murong Yuanqing. He immediately answered the call.

"Elder Murong."

"Yifei, you’re back?"

"I’ve returned. The stone wall has been opened." Li Yifei proceeded to narrate all the events in detail.

"How audacious of them! They really have no regard for us people of Huaxia," Murong Yuanqing said, his anger rarely so evident.

Li Yifei replied, "However, the Noah’s Ark Organization approached me shortly afterward for a temporary truce, and I agreed for the time being."

"Hmm, that’s a reasonable course of action. For now, prioritize protecting yourself and your people. But we must retaliate somehow; otherwise, they’ll only act even more recklessly within our borders."

"Elder Murong, Jiang Ningxiang and I both have the Innate Vital Energy from the stone wall within us. If you’re free, could you take a look at it for us?"

"I’m quite curious about this matter myself. I’ll come by tomorrow to check it out."

Li Yifei was thrilled and immediately agreed.

By the next evening, Murong Yuanqing arrived at Li Yifei’s house. Li Yifei and Jiang Ningxiang quickly welcomed him inside. Murong Yuanqing first inspected Li Yifei’s energy and then Jiang Ningxiang’s. He marveled at the findings, saying, "This is truly peculiar. Normally, foreign energy in one’s body poses a great risk, often causing significant harm. But this particular energy in your bodies is not just harmless—it’s highly beneficial. Once you gradually absorb this energy, your strength will become immeasurable."

Jiang Ningxiang asked curiously, "So, does that mean we’ll be able to defeat those bad guys?"

"Haha, defeating them would be child’s play. Once you’ve absorbed it fully, even if they join forces, they won’t stand a chance against either of you."

Jiang Ningxiang stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "Wouldn’t that mean we’ll be more powerful than you, Elder Murong?"

Murong Yuanqing was completely unfazed and burst into laughter. "Haha, naturally! After all these years, finally, new masters have emerged—it’s a blessing indeed."

Li Yifei smiled wryly and said, "Elder Murong, I feel like I have no way of truly utilizing the energy within me."

"Don’t rush it. Since this energy aligns with yours and doesn’t repel it, you’ll eventually absorb it fully—it’s just a matter of time. Besides, your current gains are already substantial. Your strength now rivals mine, and you’re still unsatisfied? If those old folks knew about your progress, they’d be green with envy."

Li Yifei considered this and agreed. Previously, the idea of matching the Grand Elder in combat was inconceivable. He truly had much to be grateful for.

After discussing their energy situation, Li Yifei asked Murong Yuanqing to examine Xu Shanshan’s injuries. Though Li Yifei believed Xu Shanshan was not seriously hurt, he wanted reassurance.

Murong Yuanqing finished his examination and confirmed that Xu Shanshan’s injuries were not severe. He added, "This is the sheer power of Innate Vital Energy. Had it been regular True Qi, Shanshan might’ve suffered far more."

Moving on from this topic, Li Yifei raised the idea of dual cultivation with his family.

Murong Yuanqing nodded, saying, "Theoretically, it’s possible. But the prerequisite is True Qi; otherwise, the other party wouldn’t understand the path of dual cultivation, leading to one-sided gains—like the Tibetan Secret School’s practices."

"That’s my concern as well," Li Yifei admitted. "But because of their moderate strength—and since they’ve broken their maiden status—the effectiveness may be reduced."

"I’m unsure about that," Murong Yuanqing replied. "This is something you’ll need to test through practice and gather insights from."

Li Yifei chuckled and asked, "Do you know of any methods to help my wives cultivate True Qi quickly?"

"Haha, you already know—there’s no shortcut. It all depends on their fate," Murong Yuanqing responded.

"I thought Elder Murong might have some fast-track solutions," Li Yifei said.

"Fast-track... Well, actually, there is one," Murong Yuanqing suddenly interjected.

Li Yifei’s eyes widened with excitement. "Elder Murong, you really have one?"

Murong Yuanqing smiled warmly and said, "Frankly, I had forgotten about it. Cultivating Qi primarily relies on a stable foundation. Those unconventional methods tend to bring serious risks. That’s why I never considered them. But in your unique case, with Innate Vital Energy and dual cultivation, you can neutralize the harmful aspects of such methods entirely."

Li Yifei nodded repeatedly. "Exactly! That’s absolutely feasible!"

Murong Yuanqing laughed heartily and patted Li Yifei on the shoulder. "Yifei, if this succeeds, the Li family will soar beyond imagination. Be careful not to let it go to your head!"

Li Yifei paused briefly, then gratefully replied, "Elder Murong, you’re right—I was overconfident for a moment. Thank you for reminding me."

Murong Yuanqing stroked his beard, smiled, and said, "This quality of self-reflection is what I’ve always admired about you. But always remember, no matter how strong one becomes, one must never disregard the country, others’ lives, or their dignity."

"Understood! I will remember this!" Li Yifei responded firmly.

"Good. I trust you!" Murong Yuanqing said as he patted Li Yifei’s shoulder once more.

Murong Yuanqing then taught Li Yifei a cultivation technique. It wasn’t particularly difficult, but it involved unusual methods requiring many rare medicinal ingredients for supplementation, including some poisonous substances to stimulate True Qi generation. Jiang Ningxiang and Xu Shanshan were visibly uneasy as they listened to the part about venomous creatures.

Li Yifei committed the method to memory in great detail before Murong Yuanqing departed. As a protector of the nation, Murong Yuanqing would leave matters concerning the Noah’s Ark Organization to other departments, but he would not tolerate their masters wreaking havoc on home soil.

"Brother Li... You... you really plan to use these?" Jiang Ningxiang stared at Li Yifei’s notes, her face full of disbelief.

Li Yifei rubbed his nose and said, "It’s indeed unpleasant, but it’s not like we’ll use live insects. These are made into medicinal baths."

"Even then, just thinking about it is revolting! Imagine bathing in water filled with dead bugs... Oh my, that’s unbearable!" Jiang Ningxiang shivered, goosebumps visibly appearing on her skin.

Xu Shanshan winced and added, "I guarantee that if you told my sister and the others what’s inside, they’d refuse to use it even if you begged."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "I know, which is why you must keep this a secret. Neither of you can tell them!"

Xu Shanshan and Jiang Ningxiang hesitated but remained silent.

Li Yifei rolled his eyes at them. "My dear aunties, this concerns their future! If they succeed in dual cultivation, they’ll all become top-tier masters. The Li family’s strength will be unparalleled, and we’ll never have to fear someone abducting our son again!"

Jiang Ningxiang pouted slightly. "Alright, fine. I won’t tell."

Xu Shanshan grinned mischievously. "I’ll keep silent for now, but once they achieve results, I’m definitely telling them! Just imagining their faces then makes me laugh already—haha... cough, cough..."

Her amusement turned sour as Xu Shanshan’s laughter aggravated her internal injury, causing her to cough while grimacing.

Li Yifei quickly held Xu Shanshan’s hand, channeling energy to stabilize her chaotic True Qi. Concerned, he said, "See? You’ve gone and hurt yourself."

Xu Shanshan caught her breath but continued smiling cheekily. "Hurting myself over this doesn’t matter if it gets everyone else later."

"That’s your sister we’re talking about!" Li Yifei retorted.

Xu Shanshan winked and said, "We’re all family. There are no separate factions within. My sister and the rest are just like other sisters. If not, how could you stand as the head of the household?"

Li Yifei laughed, "You sure have a carefree perspective. But if your sister heard this right now, she’d tear you apart."

"Hehe, it’s fine. Sooner or later, my sister’s bound to tear into me anyway—waiting or not doesn’t change that." Xu Shanshan responded impishly. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

After a round of jokes, Li Yifei left with Jiang Ningxiang to make preparations. He sternly instructed his staff to gather the required materials and forbade them from sharing anything about this matter with the ladies in the household—or anyone in the inner house.

The staff were baffled as to what Li Yifei intended with such peculiar items.
