[The Foundation Qi Cultivation Method has two cultivation modes.
Passive cultivation mode: One can automatically cultivate while walking, sitting, or lying down. The absorbed and refined Qi is purer than the Qi Breathing Technique, and the speed is increased by fifty percent, enhancing the effect of expanding meridians and forging veins.
Active cultivation mode: Sit cross-legged and form seals for cultivation. The cultivator actively utilizes this cultivation method, and the cultivation speed is doubled compared to the Qi Breathing Technique, further enhancing the effect of expanding meridians and forging veins.]
Xiao Yan smiled slightly: He was indeed blessed with heaven-defying comprehension!
Knowing that the Qi within his body was about to be devoured, he naturally couldn't just sit and wait.
Enhancing the cultivation effect of the Qi Breathing Technique was absolutely necessary.
At this moment, he was no longer the ignorant fetus regarding cultivation.
He had mastered a certain amount of cultivation knowledge, and having devoted himself to cultivating the Qi Breathing Technique for many years, plus this cultivation method was of his own creation.
Regarding other aspects, I wouldn't dare to say, but in terms of the cultivation of Dou Qi alone, even a Dou Di couldn't compare to Xiao Yan's experience.
It was precisely because those Dou Di were all incredibly talented individuals, that they couldn't possibly, like Xiao Yan, dedicate themselves almost entirely to the cultivation of Dou Qi for several years.
Moreover, the comprehension of the Dou Di was inherently inferior to Xiao Yan's, making the gap even wider.
Xiao Yan's heaven-defying comprehension, if quantified, would be at least an N+1 level compared to those peerless powerhouses, making his comprehension absolutely top-tier.
"Hehe, it's time for the Dou Zhe experience," Old Man Yao chuckled, the Bone Flame Ring he resided in flashing with white light, immediately beginning to devour Xiao Yan's strength.
The Dou Qi vortex suddenly surged, causing Xiao Yan to frown slightly, immediately snapping him out of the joy of his sudden enlightenment from the Foundation Qi Cultivation Method.
Xiao Yan's hands shifted into a different seal, and he immediately began to cultivate the Foundation Qi Cultivation Method.
In an instant, an abundance of heaven and earth energy surged around Xiao Yan's body, and this energy grew increasingly dense.
This energy, even for someone with nine stages of Qi, would be enough to break through to become a Warrior.
Xiao Yan, however, welcomed it all, his body like an unfillable black hole, devouring and refining everything that came.
Absorbing the pure Qi, Old Man Yao's severely injured soul finally received the energy to recover.
Noticing the endless Qi within Xiao Yan, Old Man Yao's injuries were healing, and his condition was improving. He was shocked by this change in Xiao Yan.
He had practically watched Xiao Yan grow up and knew his constitution was extraordinary. Such a genius, even if practicing a Yellow Grade cultivation method, could become a master of a sect.
The cultivation methods of the Dou Qi Continent didn't just fall from the sky; they were all created by brilliant predecessors with their own understanding.
Xiao Yan possessed this kind of talent!
Could it be that my actions of absorbing Xiao Yan's Qi have further stimulated his constitution?
As the number one alchemist of the Dou Qi Continent, Old Man Yao was naturally very knowledgeable.
Among the terrifying cultivation physiques that exist on the continent, the Disaster Poison Body can only be activated after consuming poison.
Xiao Yan's physique was several times stronger than the Disaster Poison Body. He didn't know what changes his physique would undergo now.
Old Man Yao pondered for a moment and accelerated the absorption of the Qi within Xiao Yan's body.
The surrounding energy of heaven and earth that had gathered around Xiao Yan's body was truly terrifying, even more than what a typical Warrior would gather when cultivating a cultivation method.
The Qi was in a stage of expanding the meridians and forging the veins. It didn't focus on the speed of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, but rather on improving the user's foundation. This was far inferior to those Warriors who had condensed their Qi cyclones and truly began to cultivate their cultivation methods.
However, Xiao Yan's current state was almost equivalent to cultivating a Yellow Grade cultivation method!
If Old Man Yao didn't accelerate the absorption, he was truly afraid that Xiao Yan would be burst by the energy of heaven and earth.
Realizing that another large stream of Qi was being lost, Xiao Yan, who was now familiar with the new cultivation method, cultivated even faster.
It was only his first time cultivating the Foundation Qi Cultivation Method, and he wasn't very skilled yet.
Countless amounts of energy from the heavens and earth surged in wildly, just like when a Warrior was leveling up.
Old Man Yao was startled. He was just about to devour it with all his might when he was shocked to discover that the energy of heaven and earth, which was pouring into Xiao Yan's body, was actually being rapidly refined into pure Dou Qi.
These Dou Qi didn't rampage through Xiao Yan's meridians. Instead, they slowly merged into them.
After expanding the meridians, they then nourished Xiao Yan's bones, strengthening his flesh and cells.
Absorbing energy from heaven and earth like this would be normal for a Warrior practicing some Mystic Grade cultivation method, but what was happening now was the purest form of Dou Qi cultivation.
Under the continuous devouring and absorption of Old Man Yao's soul, Xiao Yan could feel his strength constantly decreasing.
His Dou Qi spiral disappeared, dropping to nine-段斗之气… eight-段斗之气… seven-段斗之气… six-段斗之气…
Stopped? Xiao Yan, who was keeping the repeatedly perfected Foundation Qi Cultivation Method running, couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"You've only got six Duan of Dou Qi. Shouldn't Old Man Yao absorb more?"
Old Man Yao would have liked to suck Xiao Yan down to the level of three Duan of Dou Qi, but he wasn't the Yao Zun-zhe who once dominated the Dou Qi Continent. He was now a nearly dissipated remnant soul.
Xiao Yan's terrifying physique itself contained much more Dou Qi than the average person, and during his absorption, there was also a large amount of heaven and earth energy being absorbed to replenish it.
If he continued to absorb, his wisp of a remnant soul wouldn't be able to handle it. He had to take it slowly.
To put it bluntly, Old Man Yao was now eating too much and was stuffed.
Xiao Yan got up and sighed, showing a look of regret for failing to break through.
He calmed his emotions for a moment, then quietly slipped out of the small courtyard.
Four years old was a relatively important time point. It was time to nourish his meridians!
It was already late at night. Even though the Xiao Clan had secret guards, Xiao Yan's powerful soul perception allowed him to detect them in advance.
Walking out of the small courtyard, Xiao Yan casually chewed on a blade of grass, strolling slowly along the quiet path.
Everything was starting to get back on track, just waiting for Old Man Yao to make a full recovery.
The Foundation Qi Cultivation Method wasn't absorbed by Old Man Yao for nothing. It not only helped him recover from his injuries but also allowed his soul force to return to its peak.
When that happened, even though Old Man Yao was still a soul, his strength would be formidable. Yun Shan and Vulture Protector would be nothing but insignificant.
Furthermore, the Qi's effects of expanding and strengthening the meridians could continuously enhance his physical qualities. In the future, when Xiao Yan swallowed the Heavenly Flame, he would suffer much less pain.
The cool night breeze blew, and Xiao Yan felt his mind become clear. He paused slightly, muttering to himself, "If I just use the Foundation Qi to nourish my meridians, wouldn't that be a waste of my heaven-defying comprehension?"
