Chapter 390 Absorbing the Ox's Breath, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Their Positions

noon.

In this early summer, the weather is already noticeably hot.

Especially at noon, the sun is already quite scorching.

However, if you are in a place where the sun doesn't shine, the temperature is just right and pleasant.

Just like Chu Qinghe and the others are now.

After lunch, the group lay on chairs around the camellia tree, listening to the cicadas chirping that echoed throughout the city of Yushui.

However, the slightly noisy cicada chirping, combined with the fragrance of purple jade datura, and with Chu Qinghe and the others surrounded by wisps of incense smoke, made the cicada chirping seem to transform into a sleep aid and calming agent, causing Chu Qinghe and Dongfang Bubai to quickly become languid.

Some items have limited value if drawn repeatedly, and are dispensable to Chu Qinghe and others at present.

However, even though the Purple Jade Datura Incense no longer enhances the talents and physical attributes of Chu Qinghe and others, it is quite effective in inducing sleep and aiding in taking a nap.

While using this item to improve Wanwan's physical constitution and comprehension, it can also help Chu Qinghe and the others take a nap, so it's not a waste.

Beside her, as the medicinal effects of the Purple Jade Datura Incense spread throughout her body, and she felt her physical constitution gradually improving while her dantian meridians were widening, Wanwan wanted to say something.

But the overwhelming laziness made Wanwan too lazy to speak.

And so, in this gentle breeze, the people under the tree are immersed in the languid early summer, savoring every moment.

It wasn't until late afternoon, when the purple jade datura incense burned out and the cool breeze in the courtyard ceased, that Chu Qinghe finally got up lazily, walked to the stone table beside him, and drank a glass of wine that had been kept chilled.

As the cool, refreshing, and slightly sweet beverage enters your mouth, a feeling of pleasure instantly washes over you.

"Cool!"

Similarly, after a few drinks, Dongfang Bubai and his group also felt the same joy as having an iced drink after waking up from a midday nap.

Wanwan, who hadn't drunk much of this kind of wine before, felt even happier after downing half a pot of it.

After letting out a long breath, Wanwan felt her meridians being nourished and her dantian being expanded. She clicked her tongue twice in her heart.

"This life is comfortable."

Once the lethargy in their bodies had completely dissipated, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue were the first to get up and begin cultivating.

Qu Feiyan and the other girls also got up to prepare for cultivation.

Seeing this, Wanwan quickly drank another cup of wine before going to the courtyard. She then began to circulate her true energy to refine the remaining energy of the Evil Emperor's Relic within her body.

On the other hand, Chu Qinghe slowly got up and moved to a shady spot near the entrance of the courtyard, holding a wine pot in one hand and a wine cup in the other.

He continued to sip his wine while admiring the women cultivating in the villa and inner courtyard.

Occasionally, he would use his inner energy to draw a stream of water from the cup and let it fall onto the little guy's shoulder, allowing the little guy to also taste the unique cool drink of Chu Qinghe's family.

Only after the wine jug in his hand was empty did Chu Qinghe take the other wine jugs on the table and go to the wine cellar to fetch a few more jugs of wine, which he then placed on ice to chill.

Just as Chu Qinghe continued to enjoy a few more drinks while indulging in the company of beautiful women, a strange sound suddenly appeared in his mind.

In response, Chu Qinghe put down his wine cup and, as always, beckoned Xiao Zhao over.

But this time, things are different from the past.

As Xiao Zhao approached Chu Qinghe, Chu Qinghe first used his true energy to draw water from the well and carefully washed his hands in front of him.

After drying his hands with his inner energy, he solemnly placed them on Xiao Zhao's head.

At the same time, he slowly murmured: "Touch your head, and you'll have nothing to worry about; touch your face, and you'll have a happy and prosperous year; touch your paws, and you'll have wealth rolling in; touch your back, and you'll have glory and riches."

While chanting, Chu Qinghe changed the position of his hands according to the "breathing mantra" he was reciting.

Perhaps it was because this "absorption technique" was too unique and outstanding that not only Qu Feiyan and the others, but even Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, who were originally immersed in cultivation in the courtyard, opened their eyes and looked at Chu Qinghe, who was touching Xiao Zhao, with strange expressions.

Once the incantation was finished and he felt that he had been imbued with auspicious energy through the mascot in front of him, Chu Qinghe silently recited it in his heart.

"System, please check in."

[Ding, the current host has accumulated three months of check-ins. Do you wish to check in again?]

"Sure"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired ten thousand taels of gold.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired a low-grade Dao-rank martial art—"A Sword Across Worlds" (Return to Simplicity).]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a cultivation technique advancement card*1 (Mid-grade Dao Rank)]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a special drug—Violet Limitless Smoke.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired a special item: the Myriad Poison Gu.]

[The reward has been automatically added to your system inventory. Please check and retrieve it yourself.]

Faced with the system information panel that kept popping up, Chu Qinghe's eyes lit up when he noticed the "Cultivation Technique Advancement Card" he had drawn this time.

What does it mean for your wishes to come true? This is it.

Chu Qinghe had originally hoped that he could obtain something from the system check-in system that would allow him to upgrade his cultivation of the "Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi" to the lower-grade Dao level.

I never expected to receive it so easily this time just from signing in.

And it was even better than Chu Qinghe had expected.

The cultivation technique advancement card obtained from this sign-in session actually allowed Chu Qinghe's "Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi" to be directly upgraded to the middle-grade Dao level.
