To Shen Yuan, the chuunibyou brats he encountered on the Internet were just spice in life and were not worth his attention at all.

The sky outside was gradually getting darker. After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, Shen Yuan began his daily practice.

The house in the right corner of the courtyard was converted by Shen Yuan into an independent training room. There was only a cushion in the entire room.

Sitting cross-legged on the cushion, Shen Yuan's eyes fell on his system interface.

System: Do you confirm to receive the novice guidance reward?

"confirm."

As Shen Yuan responded, the completed novice guidance task bar on the system interface gradually disappeared, and a purple book fell into Shen Yuan's hands. This was the "Zixia Qi Refining Method" that Shen Yuan had obtained before.

After calming down his excitement, Shen Yuan slowly opened "Zixia Qi Refining Method" and began to read.

The method of refining Qi is the foundation of all methods. Any practitioner needs to refine the Qi of heaven and earth to achieve self-improvement in order to gain abilities that transcend the mundane. The "Purple Cloud Qi Refining Method" is a method of collecting the first ray of purple Qi from the morning glow between heaven and earth when the sun and the moon change.

If one practices to a high level, the Qi that one refines can have the power of purple clouds, which has the effect of dispelling evil spirits and demons.

This volume of "Zixia Qi Refining Method" not only contains methods of cultivation, but also a lot of common sense about cultivation, small spells and the like.

Even though these things have been around for tens of thousands of years, they are still of great value to Shen Yuan.

After studying it repeatedly, Shen Yuan began to practice the "Zixia Qi Refining Method".

Although it is already late at night and it is impossible to collect the purple energy of the morning glow, it does not affect the operation of the Qi refining method.

As the breathing blended into the rhythm of the Cloud and Mist Breathing Method and gradually became long and continuous, a large amount of spiritual energy began to flow into the training room.

During this process, Shen Yuan practiced the "Zixia Qi Refining Method" like an invisible big hand that constantly captured the surrounding spiritual energy and forced it into Shen Yuan's Dantian to be refined into essence.

The "Purple Cloud Qi Refining Method" and the Cloud and Mist Breathing Method are both methods passed down from generation to generation by the Luoyun Sect, and there are some complementary effects between the two.

The progress brought about by the first practice of the Qi Refining Method far exceeded Shen Yuan's expectations.

On Shen Yuan's right hand, the seed of Hutian's magical power, which had already been integrated into Shen Yuan's body, once again showed the gourd mark that looked like a magical treasure under the operation of the Qi refining method.

The emerald green gourd seemed to turn into substance, and the gourd mouth continuously captured the spiritual energy from the outside world. A large amount of spiritual energy was swallowed into the Hutian magical power seed, and a small part of it was still fed back into Shen Yuan's body through the magical power seed.

The spiritual energy tide had just arrived, and the weak spiritual energy between heaven and earth was not enough to satisfy the seed of magical power. The spiritual energy vortex around Shen Yuan began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and quickly covered most of the old city.

The dormant spiritual energy in the old city was gradually stirred up and began to rush madly towards the courtyard where Shen Yuan was.

The jujube trees and green vines in the courtyard were in a vortex of spiritual energy. Although most of the spiritual energy was absorbed by Shen Yuan, a small part of it was still integrated into their bodies in the process.

The jujube tree, which had previously lost many leaves, began to sprout new branches, and the green vines shed their originally old bodies and grew again, giving this dilapidated courtyard new life.

Although most of the spiritual energy was absorbed by the Seed of Magical Power, the spiritual energy fed back by the Seed of Magical Power was the purest. Shen Yuan did not even need to refine it before it could be integrated into the essence to strengthen himself.

The essence in Shen Yuan's body began to grow rapidly at an unimaginable speed.

Shen Yuan's Qi refining practice this time caused a stir in half of the city, but there was no reaction in the old city area.

As an abandoned industrial area, the old city has a sparse population and most of its inhabitants are elderly. It is difficult to produce natural practitioners under such conditions.

People who have not embarked on spiritual practice cannot sense the changes in spiritual energy at all, so almost no one in the old city noticed it.

But just because humans don’t notice it doesn’t mean that other creatures don’t sense it.

In a dark and remote alley, a huge Maine Coon cat, almost half a person's height, passed silently, without making any sound, as if blending into the shadows of darkness. Dozens of stray cats followed behind it, with pairs of dark green eyes flashing in the dark night, bringing a bit of a terrifying and weird atmosphere.

But if you shift your gaze to the head of the half-human-high Maine Coon cat, the terrifying atmosphere that has just been created will instantly be reduced by half.

I saw a cat, which was not even the size of a palm, lying trembling on the Maine Coon's head, with its claws tightly grasping the Maine Coon's long fur for fear of being thrown to the ground.

The Maine Coon looked at the timid appearance of its king and couldn't help but cover its face with its paws.

"My king, please pay attention to your image."

The kitten stood up tremblingly after hearing that, and looked around with its heterochromatic eyes at the many ordinary wild cats that were staring at it, with a human-like embarrassment revealed on its little face.

"Stop talking!"

The little white glove-like paw patted the Maine Coon's head, and the kitten asked in a childish voice:

"How long will it take us to get there?"

The Maine Coon took a look at the surroundings, and a strange color flashed in its deep vertical pupils.

"It should be around here, but is the location you found with the box weapon accurate?"

Upon hearing this, the kitten raised its head proudly.

"Hehe! In order to get the bad guy's information, I spent a lot of effort to find his phone number, and then found the place where he received the express delivery. His residence must be around the express delivery point.

If we search door to door, we will definitely find it!"

"Then, my king, do you know what that person looks like?" The Maine Coon asked appropriately.

When the kitten heard this, the smile on his face instantly froze.

"But. But I know his name is Shen Yuan!" The kitten responded quickly.

The Maine Coon sighed upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty, you don't know the exact location, nor do you know what the person looks like. Even if we know his name, what does it matter? We can't go door to door and ask for his name, right?"

The kitten instantly wilted, with its ears drooping on its head and a sullen expression.

The appearance of the kitten made the Maine Coon feel relieved.

In fact, it is not willing to accompany the kitten to play, because the kitten is too small and has no ability to protect itself. Once an accident occurs, it will cause irreversible consequences.

But it cannot disobey the king's orders. The best way now is to let the kitten give up.

Judging from the current situation, its purpose seems to have been achieved.

The Maine Coon was about to continue speaking, but suddenly the little kitten the size of a ball of wool on its head sniffed its nose, and a look of excitement appeared in its pair of heterochromatic eyes.

"The spiritual energy fluctuates abnormally, there must be something good there!"

As soon as the kitten finished speaking, the Maine Coon immediately noticed the chaotic spiritual energy that was spreading around. A large amount of spiritual energy turned into a huge vortex and gathered towards a small courtyard in the core area.
