Chapter 17: Breakthroughs of One-Star Dou Zhe!
Time quietly passed as Xiao Ze continued his cultivation.
However, he now spent more time each day helping Xiao Xuner cultivate her meridians.
He was eagerly awaiting the tenfold feedback from Xiao Xuner's promotion to One-Star Dou Zhe, which would allow him to directly breakthrough to Dou Shi.
It's not that Xiao Ze couldn't break through on his own.
But he was more curious about the feedback from the system upon reaching the Dou Shi level.
Perhaps it would bring something unique?
He had experienced similar situations before, where he had been stuck at a certain level and then gained something unique.
During the cultivation process from One-Star to Nine-Star Dou Zhe, this unique Dou Qi vortex had greatly helped him.
Although the next step was the usual transformation of Dou Qi into liquid form to condense higher quality Dou Qi.
But who knows? Maybe the system could surprise him.
"Huff... Huff..."
Xiao Xuner gently exhaled, feeling a peculiar sensation throughout her body as her meridians were nurtured.
"Is Brother Xiao Ze already at the peak of Nine-Star? Is that why he's channeling his Dou Qi into me?"
Xiao Xuner's face blushed slightly as she spoke softly.
Ever since Xiao Ze stabilized at the peak of Nine-Star, he had been finding her every day to help nurture her meridians.
"You're taking advantage of me being cute!"
Xiao Ze reached out and pinched Xiao Xuner's cheeks, giving them a playful tug.
Even though he deformed her cheeks a bit, Xiao Xuner's breathtaking beauty couldn't be concealed.
"Wuuu..."
Xiao Xuner patted Xiao Ze's hand and rolled her eyes at him.
"Oh right, after nurturing your meridians for so long, how do you feel now? Is it still effective?"
Xiao Ze stopped his teasing and coughed lightly, trying to sound serious.
"It's still effective, but not as obvious as it was at the beginning. Of course, stronger meridians are always better."
Xiao Xuner smiled, "Anyway, since Brother Xiao Ze's Dou Qi has nowhere to go, why not use it inside me?"
"Hehe, I'd like to, but you can't handle my overflow. It's only been an hour and a half today, and you're already overwhelmed."
Xiao Ze joked, "I still have half of my Dou Qi left!"
"Tsk! I didn't even know that you had such a monstrous amount of Dou Qi in your body!"
Talking about this, Xiao Xuner sighed.
"Ordinary Dou Zhe probably can't match your Dou Qi volume, right?"
"It seems so. Although my quality might not surpass that of a Dou Shi, the transformation from Dou Qi into liquid form has dramatically improved its quality."
Xiao Ze nodded, "But in terms of quantity, my Dou Qi volume should be among the top in the lower-tier Dou Shis."
Xiao Ze modestly said.
Actually, the reality was even more exaggerated than what he said!
Despite that, Xiao Xuner's eyes filled with admiration, focusing on his abdomen.
"Could it be that Brother Xiao Ze has some special constitution that can accommodate such a huge amount of Dou Qi?"
"Why? Are you planning to dissect me and take a closer look?"
Xiao Ze covered Xiao Xuner's eyes, preventing her from staring at him.
"Wait! Brother Xiao Ze, I think I'm feeling something!"
As they playfully bantered, Xiao Xuner suddenly spoke up.
"Huh?"
Xiao Ze was momentarily taken aback but quickly understood what Xiao Xuner meant.
Because he keenly sensed the changes in the surrounding energy.
"Hurry up and cultivate. Seize the opportunity. If you miss it, you'll have to wait for a while again!"
Xiao Ze quickly stepped aside, and Xiao Xuner obediently nodded, sitting cross-legged on a stone platform.
A large amount of natural energy surged toward her, pouring into her body.
"This is the breakthrough to Dou Zhe... I probably don't need to impart any experience to her, right?"
Xiao Ze stared at Xiao Xuner closely. Breaking through to Dou Zhe shouldn't be a difficult task for her.
Although it might be challenging for ordinary people to break through to Dou Zhe and might require experiencing it a dozen or even twenty times...
Because breaking through to Dou Zhe requires condensing the Dou Qi vortex within the body.
If the breakthrough fails, one would drop from the ninth stage of Dou Qi to the eighth stage!
Some people frequently struggle at this stage, doing sit-ups and push-ups, but still can't condense the Dou Qi vortex.
Naturally, it's difficult for them to break through to Dou Zhe!
Of course, external aid is also possible, such as through the means of an alchemist!
The Gathering Qi Pill can guarantee the successful condensation of the Dou Qi vortex!
In the original work, Nan Lan Yanran used it as an apology for her broken engagement!
From this, it's clear why alchemists are so popular and sought after in the Dou Qi continent!
It's because the pills they refine have such powerful effects.
From low-level to high-level cultivators, there's a demand for pills!
Unfortunately, becoming an alchemist has strict conditions, and Xiao Ze's attributes don't match.
He can only hope to obtain the qualifications to become an alchemist from the system in the future.
Xiao Ze's thoughts flashed.
In the original work, Xiao Xuner seemed to successfully condense the Dou Qi vortex on her first try. Now, it should be no problem.
His Dou Qi vortex was condensed with the help of the system, so although he had corresponding experience, Xiao Ze felt that Xiao Xuner probably didn't need it.
With her profound and incomparable background, she should be familiar with all the cultivation techniques from low to high levels.
"If she really struggles, I'll offer some guidance!"
Xiao Ze silently thought, his eyes closely following Xiao Xuner's progress.
Xiao Xuner frowned slightly, feeling the massive accumulation of Dou Qi in her body reaching a point where it couldn't contain anymore.
Of course, she knew exactly how to condense the Dou Qi vortex.
She had even seen countless classic examples.
She was well-versed in the key tricks to condense the Dou Qi vortex.
With strong control and well-nurtured meridians, Xiao Xuner could compress the Dou Qi within her body without worrying about injuring herself.
The colorless Dou Qi circulated through her meridians, finally converging in her lower abdomen.
The colorless Dou Qi gradually became denser, its color deepening until it turned milky white.
With a solid and almost abnormal foundation, along with astonishing control and extensive experience, Xiao Xuner's breakthrough process proceeded smoothly.
Seeing this, Xiao Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a slight muffled sound from within her body, Xiao Xuner slowly opened her eyes, her eyes glowing brightly from the accumulation of energy.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ze also smiled, congratulating her.
"Xuner, congratulations. You're now a true Dou Zhe."
[Ding! Xiao Xuner's strength has increased, reaching One-Star Dou Zhe! Host receives tenfold feedback!]
[Congratulations to the host for advancing to One-Star Dou Shi!]
The familiar notification made Xiao Ze even happier!
"Brother Xiao Ze, I've finally stepped into the ranks of Dou Zhe, on the same level as you!"
Xiao Xuner stood up happily, feeling the surging Dou Qi in her body, which contained even more terrifying energy than Dou Qi.
"I know you're eager, but don't rush!"
Xiao Ze raised his hand with a smile, stopping Xiao Xuner's approach, asking her to wait.
In Xiao Xuner's puzzled gaze.
Xiao Ze chose to claim the reward, and a large amount of natural energy began to converge on him.
Feeling this familiar breakthrough fluctuation, Xiao Xuner's mouth slowly opened wide!
"Seeing you breakthrough, I've gained some insights too. I'll try to break through to Dou Shi as well."
Xiao Ze smiled, while Xiao Xuner's face was filled with mixed emotions.
"I just stepped into the realm of Dou Zhe, and you're already becoming a Dou Shi!?"
