Meow~
After a long while, a cat's meow came from outside the window.
The white mist around Shen Yunhao dissipated rapidly at a visible speed, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
He let out a long sigh of relief, stood up, and looked around, but found no changes in his body.
"Strange, I can sense the spiritual energy, but... why can't I sense the 'first barrier' mentioned in the book at all?"
This is not because Shen Yunhao is eager for quick success.
Instead, the Guiyuan Breathing Technique clearly states that the first level of Qi Refining is actually the easiest to break through in the entire Qi Refining process.
Because every living being absorbs the spiritual energy of the surrounding world at a very slow rate from the moment it is born.
No cultivation techniques are required; this is an inherent characteristic of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Therefore, when you first formally practice breathing exercises, there is already a certain amount of spiritual energy accumulated in your body.
Even if one has poor physical constitution and little spiritual energy, the spiritual energy required to break through to the first level is also less.
Thus, during cultivation, one can clearly feel the gradual filling of spiritual energy as one breaks through the first barrier.
Shen Yunhao's current feeling is that he can indeed sense the refined spiritual energy flowing in his body, but he can't sense the location of that barrier.
"Could it be because of my damaged bone structure? But judging from my senses, although there wasn't a single drop of spiritual energy in my body at the beginning, the process of refining spiritual energy later on was clearly very smooth..."
Shen Yunhao thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. He could only attribute this situation to his poor physical constitution. He felt that his speed of refining spiritual energy was good, but in reality it was very slow.
In addition, he had not accumulated any spiritual energy in the first eighteen years, which meant that he was still far from breaking through to the first level.
"As long as it works, that's fine. It just takes more time, anyway, I have nothing else to do at home..."
At this moment, Shen Yunhao looked up at the sky outside the window; it was already completely dark. "Have I been sitting here all afternoon? Time really flies when you're cultivating..."
The cat, Tuan'er, paced back and forth outside the window, meowing, reminding Shen Yunhao that it was time to feed her.
Shen Yunhao opened the window and let the milk tea into the room, then took out some dried fish from the cabinet.
“Cultivation doesn’t take up much mental energy, but… I still feel a bit hungry. It seems that if I want to go into seclusion for a long time, I have to raise my cultivation to the level of abstaining from grains. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be ridiculous to starve to death while secluded?”
While he was having milk tea and eating, Shen Yunhao went outside to call Laifu.
"Oh! Young Master, you've finally come out?"
Shen Yunhao said expressionlessly, "I told you to stand guard at the door, did you get so scared that you got lost?"
Lai Fu scratched his head awkwardly: "Um... I heard the young master shout, so I immediately went to get help. When I came back, I found the door locked. I thought the young master was alright..."
"Never mind!" Shen Yunhao waved his hand and said, "I'm a little hungry. Go to the market and buy me some food."
"No problem. What would you like to eat, young master?"
"Hmm... the seafood at Li's shop in the east of the city is pretty good, the crispy chicken at Xiangsuji in the south of the city is also alright, and the best place to buy sesame cakes as a staple food is the one in Rongxiang in the west of the city. The braised food at Fushouge in the north of the city should still be sold out..."
"Huh? So, what does the Third Young Master want to eat?"
"How about this, you buy me a little of each one, then I'll know what I want to eat!"
"..."
...
North of Yunzhou.
Above the vast ice plains, several dazzling streaks of light shot toward the North Sea at incredible speed, like shooting stars streaking across the earth.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that four or five seven-colored rays of light are relentlessly chasing after the white light at the very front.
Within the white light that was being chased, a blurry figure was vaguely hidden.
Not far away, the long coastline is faintly visible.
"Once we reach the North Sea... we can escape their pursuit!"
"Whoosh!"
However, before the man could breathe a sigh of relief, three figures suddenly appeared directly in front of him, instantly extinguishing the flame of hope that had just been ignited.
It turns out someone had already intercepted them here!
"Seventh Princess...this road is blocked..."
The deep voice carried a hint of mockery and amusement as the three men blocked the beam of white light...
The road ahead was blocked, the white light stopped, and the figures inside were forced to reveal themselves.
It was a young woman, completely concealed in a silver robe, her figure hidden from view, only her slightly pale face visible.
But it is precisely this face that gives people a stunning feeling!
Her clear eyes shone with an alluring pale purple hue, her arched eyebrows hung above them, and her lips resembled rose petals, delicate and luscious.
The ancients said that her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, and her beauty was so captivating that it was almost edible. This description would be most fitting for this woman...
What's even more captivating is her long, snow-white hair, cascading like a waterfall, swaying in the wind and complementing her silver robe.
Despite wearing such flamboyant robes, she doesn't appear ostentatious or vulgar at all. Her beauty and temperament are natural, like a fairy who has stepped out of a painting, making her endlessly captivating.
Her ethereal beauty even drew the attention of the three men blocking her path.
One of them couldn't help but exclaim, "As the saying goes, 'There is a beauty in the North Sea, whose beauty can topple a city with a single glance'... She truly deserves to be called the most beautiful woman in the North Sea. The beauty of the Seventh Princess is truly unparalleled!"
A burly man beside him scoffed, "All those bastards are here to kill and rob! Do you think they'd show any mercy to the ladies?"
"Hey! That's not right..."
The young man was about to speak again, but was interrupted by a figure in red robes at the front.
