Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Dantian Shaping
"My mood for today has been ruined by these eyesores; let's discuss life and dreams some other time."
Su Chen walked back to Ye Mei's side and said with a hint of regret, then a mischievous grin spread across his face, sending Ye Mei's heart fluttering, unsure of what this oddball was planning to do.
"Even though it's not happening today, make sure you bathe and stay clean, waiting for my royal visit, alright?"
Su Chen suddenly whispered slyly into Ye Mei's ear.
"Dream on!"
Ye Mei's face instantly flushed with embarrassment, and she let out a light scoff.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, a loud slap resounded, and Su Chen laughed heartily:
"Wait for me, okay!"
"Jerk!"
Ye Mei touched her pert buttocks, feeling a hot sting.
"This jerk, he hits so hard!"
The crowd had already been defeated by Su Chen; not only had he shut up the formidable Third Master with just a few words, but he also flirted with "Blood Rose" right in front of everyone!
What kind of freak was this?! The people couldn't help but think to themselves. Looking at Su Chen, their eyes filled with awe. Joking aside, who could mess with a man who dared to slap the Third Master's face and spank "Blood Rose" in public?
"Here's my phone number; make sure to give me a call, okay."
Su Chen said with a cheeky smile as he took Ye Mei's hand and wrote a string of numbers in her palm.
Then he waved his hand and walked towards the exit, his devilish voice travelling from afar:
"Tell your Dragon Lord that from now on, Miss Ye is my woman. If he dares touch her, I will annihilate your Dragon Prosperity Society!"
The patrons of the Mesmerizing Bar were all stunned by Su Chen's domineering words, doubting their own ears once again.
This guy actually wasn't concerned about Dragon Lord coming after him; instead, he warned Dragon Lord that he would annihilate the Dragon Prosperity Society!
Did he even know what kind of existence the Dragon Prosperity Society was? Almost everyone thought he was insane!
But Ye Mei, watching Su Chen's departing figure, had a peculiar gleam in her eyes!
At that moment, this man had completely conquered her!
Humorous, gentle, domineering, tough, mysterious—that was the man Ye Mei had been desperately searching for!
....
After the bar's little interlude, the irritation Su Chen felt from past events had also largely subsided, and he strolled leisurely to the Grand Epoch Court.
When he got home, Lin Ruoxue and Mrs. Wang were already asleep, so Su Chen simply entered his room, sat on the bed, and started to cultivate.
Having explored the day before, Su Chen was now much more familiar with the process, so he quickly entered a good state, and with Su Chen continuously operating his cultivation technique, his Dantian began reshaping at a visible pace!
Suddenly, Su Chen felt a humming in his Dantian, and he immediately became alert, focusing all his attention. He knew this was a sign that his Dantian was about to be reshaped.
The more critical the moment, the less he dared to be careless, carefully introspecting, he noticed that only a small edge was still not perfect.
He kept operating his cultivation technique, specifically repairing that area, knowing that the Dantian is a foundation for cultivation, and for most people, the Dantian is predetermined at birth and cannot be altered later in life.
Now that Su Chen had the opportunity to reshape it, he naturally wanted to make his Dantian as perfect as possible!
The further one advanced in cultivation, the more important the Dantian became, a common knowledge in the realm of Martial Arts.
Gradually, Su Chen's body was completely soaked, but he didn't care at all, as all his focus was gathered upon his dantian.
Finally, Su Chen felt a warmth at his dantian. He sensed a resonating vibration there, like a phoenix soaring to the heavens!
"Hard work pays off for those who are diligent!"
Su Chen was filled with ecstasy in his heart. It was only then that he realized his face and body were covered in sweat. He wiped away the perspiration with his hand and laughed foolishly.
But this joy was shared by no one else, which made him feel somewhat less elated!
"This Nine Yang Divine Technique is really miraculous—it actually restored my damaged dantian in just two nights!"
Su Chen was also secretly astonished by the power of the Nine Yang Divine Technique.
Deciding to strike while the iron was hot, Su Chen continued to cultivate the second volume. He wanted to find out what was different about this volume compared to his previous cultivation.
Su Chen first silently recited the mantra, considered its key points, and then closed his eyes to begin cultivation.
As Su Chen followed the mantra and channeled the cultivation technique, he felt as if basking in the warm sun of a winter day, his whole body loosening up.
When Su Chen opened his eyes again, he found that daylight had come, yet he had hardly felt the passage of time!
Looking inward, Su Chen was amazed to discover he had unknowingly entered the First Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm, a realization that nearly drove him to ecstasy.
He had finally set foot on the path of true cultivation again. Though it was just the First Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm, Su Chen believed that, with time, he would return to his former strength and even surpass it!
He also knew that the further one progressed in cultivation, the more challenging it became, but he was already mentally prepared for it!
Although he had now entered the First Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm, he was not yet able to use Yuan Qi for attacks, as his body could store only a small amount of Yuan Qi. He could only use it to nourish his body to withstand the pressure brought by advancing to higher realms.
Su Chen walked happily to the bathroom and took a shower, as the sticky sweat on his body was rather uncomfortable.
After the shower, Su Chen felt refreshed. Then he went into the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.
As usual, the maid got up at six in the morning. When she heard noises from the kitchen, she hurried to take a look and saw Su Chen busy at work.
The maid couldn't help but be surprised. It seemed that this son-in-law had really changed, getting up so early for two consecutive days to make breakfast.
"Good morning, son-in-law." The maid greeted him with a smile.
"You're up, Auntie. Just wait a moment; breakfast will be ready soon."
Su Chen replied with a smile.
"No rush, I still have to clean up. Let's wait for the young lady to get up and we can eat together."
Shortly after, just when Su Chen had finished preparing breakfast, Lin Ruoxue also came downstairs.
Lin Ruoxue had learned from the previous day and made sure she was completely ready before coming down.
Su Chen quickly invited them both to sit down for breakfast. Lin Ruoxue sat at the table, looking at the sumptuous breakfast, and then glancing at Su Chen, she felt something was odd.
What had gotten into this guy these past two days? There didn't seem to be anything in particular happening, so why had he suddenly changed like a different person?
Although Lin Ruoxue was still a bit unaccustomed to it, this kind of change didn't seem that unpleasant. If he could keep this up and they could continue living like this, she might be able to accept it.
"What are you staring at? Are you daydreaming about someone?"
Su Chen noticed that Lin Ruoxue was staring at him with a strange look, which puzzled him.
"You're the one daydreaming about someone. Let's just eat," Lin Ruoxue snapped back impatiently. Then, she took out a car key and tossed it to him, "Since you've started working, you can take the BMW in the garage to drive."
"A BMW, eh? Not bad, great for impressing the ladies."
Su Chen picked up the car keys, looked them over, and whistled in admiration.
