Chapter 202 - 126: Golden Body 2
At this, Shen Xiuyong revealed a playful smile.
’One thousand taels of silver!?’
Hearing this, Chen Qing began to calculate inwardly.
’One thousand taels of silver for just one day... that’s just too outrageous.’
’Is this Langya Pavilion really that miraculous!?’
Chen Qing cupped his fists. "Thank you for the information, Elder."
Shen Xiuyong waved his hand. "Go on. That place is highly beneficial for solidifying your foundation and accumulating True Qi, but it’s not very useful for breaking through bottlenecks."
Chen Qing left the Affairs Department. Instead of returning to the Fishery, he went to Lake Heart Island.
On the west side of the island, a simple yet mysterious pavilion stood quietly. With its flying eaves and bracketed cornices, a faint light seemed to flow within it. This was the Langya Pavilion.
The guards outside the pavilion were strict, and an invisible pressure enveloped the surroundings.
Chen Qing presented his Inner Courtyard Disciple Token and stated his purpose.
After the guard verified it, he led him into a side hall inside the pavilion.
Within the hall sat a gaunt old man dressed in a dark gray Elder Robe.
He was Elder Lu, responsible for guarding the Langya Pavilion.
"Disciple Chen Qing of the Cyan Wood Institute, requesting to enter a Quiet Chamber for one day of cultivation."
Chen Qing bowed respectfully.
Elder Lu’s gaze swept over Chen Qing, lingering for a moment. "Your first time?"
Chen Qing replied, "Yes, my first time."
Elder Lu nodded slightly. "Register first!"
He then inspected Chen Qing’s Token, recorded his information, and after completing the registration, said, "You know the rules, right? One thousand two hundred taels of silver per day. You must not exceed the time limit. Inside the Quiet Chamber, no noise and no damaging any items. Violators will be severely punished."
"I understand," Chen Qing said with a nod, then took out the silver notes.
Elder Lu said no more. He took out a Jade Token and pointed toward a deep, dark corridor inside the pavilion.
"Quiet Chamber C-3. Go."
Chen Qing took the Jade Token, drew a deep breath, and walked quickly down the corridor.
The corridor was flanked by thick stone walls, and a faint vitality permeated the air.
Soon, he found Quiet Chamber C-3.
He placed the Jade Token before the stone door. The token released a bright light, and the door opened.
A milky-white mist, so dense it seemed solid, instantly rushed out to greet him, carrying a refreshing coolness that invigorated the heart and mind.
The Quiet Chamber was not large, with just enough room for one person to sit cross-legged.
In the center was a small Jade Slot from which wisps of the milky-white mist continuously emanated, filling the entire space.
Chen Qing immediately closed the stone door, sealing the chamber from the outside.
He sat cross-legged on the cattail cushion in the center and began to circulate the Cyan Wood Eternal Spring Technique.
The surrounding milky-white mist, as if drawn to him, surged madly in his direction. Without any conscious effort to absorb it, it drilled into his body through the pores all over his skin!
Upon entering his body, the mist instantly transformed into streams of pure, gentle, yet vast energy, swiftly merging with his Cyan Wood True Qi like a sweet spring.
’This... This is the vaporized energy of Earth Core Milk?!’
Chen Qing was utterly shocked.
In his past cultivation, True Qi had been like a trickling stream, transforming slowly.
But now, in this Quiet Chamber of the Langya Pavilion, the energy was so dense it was like a tangible creek, actively pouring into his body.
Driven by such surging, pure Spiritual Qi, the circulation speed of the Cyan Wood Eternal Spring Technique was several times faster than usual.
Within his Dantian Sea of Qi, the Cyan Wood True Qi surged and flowed at an unprecedented speed. With every completed circulation, the total amount of True Qi increased by a minuscule, yet tangible, amount.
After one circulation was complete, Chen Qing focused his Heart and Spirit on his Fate Plate.
[Heaven Rewards Diligence, Success is Certain]
[Cyan Wood Eternal Spring Technique, Third Layer (23/3000)]
’It’s a full five times faster than before!’
Chen Qing took a deep breath, a bright light flashing in his eyes.
’Cultivating in this Langya Pavilion Quiet Chamber is five times faster than using Elixirs to speed up cultivation outside.’
’How astonishing is that!?’
’The price of one thousand two hundred taels of silver per day suddenly seems completely worth it!’
Chen Qing didn’t dare to waste any time, completely immersing his Heart and Spirit in his cultivation.
Time flew by as he cultivated, oblivious to all else.
He was completely immersed in the rapid growth of his progress, forgetting everything about the outside world.
When evening came, a flash of light appeared outside the stone door, and a meal was delivered inside.
Looking closely, even the meal included a Treasure Fish.
After eating, Chen Qing resumed his state of cultivation.
He refused to waste a single moment.
Inside the Langya Pavilion, time seemed to stretch on.
Having tasted the benefits of the Langya Pavilion, Chen Qing began to cultivate in the Quiet Chamber frequently.
He would occasionally take a day or two to check on the Fishery. Everything was running as usual, and the spring fry had been released into the ponds.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days passed.
Chen Qing’s strength improved steadily, and the Fishery was in good order under the management of Old Zhao and the others.
With everyone looking after her, Lin Xue also gradually adapted to life at the Fishery.
「On this day」, Chen Qing sat cross-legged in Quiet Chamber C-3, his body shrouded in a milky-white vapor.
Every breath was like a whale inhaling the ocean, as the vaporized Earth Core Milk surged through his pores into his limbs and bones, merging with the torrent of Cyan Wood True Qi.
The Cyan Wood True Qi within his Dantian Sea of Qi was growing and condensing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
VMMMM—!
After who knows how many hundreds of circulations, a deep rumble, seemingly from within his own body, resounded.
Five Orthodox Meridians, connected from end to end, flowed in a continuous cycle!
A powerful aura erupted from Chen Qing’s body, only to be immediately retracted back inside by his formidable control.
He had opened five of the Twelve Orthodox Meridians, and his strength at the Mid-stage of Embracing Pill Power was now completely stabilized.
The total amount and purity of his True Qi had both reached a new level.
But this was not his only goal for the day.
Chen Qing opened his eyes, a sharp light held within them.
He slowly took out several Jade Bottles from his robes; they contained the rare Exotic Beast Essence Blood he had previously purchased at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
