Chaptre 06. Reconstructing Dantian.
As the mother and son spoke, it was almost midnight, and Xiang Tianzhi seemed to be already sleepy, he was always yawning when his mother told him many stories.
"Let's get some rest!" take Xue Mei.
Xiang Tianzhi immediately stood towards their room, Xiang Tianzhi did not go straight to the bed, he headed to the bathroom to clean himself up, while Xue Mei opened the wardrobe to pick up sleeping clothes for her son and herself.
After Xiang Tianzhi came out, his mother spoke. "Replace your clothes before bed."
After speaking, Xue Mei who changed into entering the bathroom with her nightgown, she always cleaned herself, and it had become a daily routine since young.
Xiang Tianzhi looked at his nightgown, a model of hanfu but only one layer. Immediately Xiang Tianzhi took off his clothes even the underwear he also took off, and put on the clothes he had prepared.
"It's exhausting too after many times of crushing dantian!" muttered Xiang Tianzhi while sleeping slanted near the bamboo wall, and closed his eyes.
After bathing and changing clothes, Xue Mei came out of the bathroom and saw Xiang Tianzhi was already asleep, she followed and laid her body next to him.
Xue Mei's nightgown was a Dudou model resembling a small apron. Dudou is square or diamond shaped and covers the chest and abdomen. They are backless and have cloth straps that tie the neck and back; in some cases there will be gold or silver chains in exchange for ropes to show off wealth. The dudou worn by Xue Mei is made of brightly colored silk or beige and decorated with embroidered flowers, a design that represents happiness, romance, fertility, or health.
Their beds were a bit cramped, but enough for two people. Xue Mei hugged Xiang Tianzhi from behind and it was customary of her when Xiang Tianzhi was in a coma. Xue Mei was getting tighter hugging as her nose smelled fragrant and fresh and unknowingly her brow stuck to Xiang Tianzhi's back.
'Why am I not feeling like I always do!' xue Mei's inner moment felt a strange feeling as her forehead touched, "did I fall in love with my own son? Uh! No, no, I'm not like those who have sex with their own flesh and blood!' Xue Mei was further confused by his feelings and threw away all the memories she had seen in Xiang Kingdom.
It was common to be a match for his own brother in the Dongyun Continent, all of it was done to keep the bloodline of nobles, and also to keep his descendants pure bloodline.
Inbreeding is not a strange or taboo thing, there are already many nobles who have superior offspring by marrying their fellow brothers, mothers and their own fathers. Even King Xiang also had a wife born to Empress Yin.
Xiang Tianzhi turned his body around and faced Xue Mei and accidentally their lips touched each other, Xiang Tianzhi also hugged Xue Mei.
Spontaneous Xue Mei was startled, wanting to wake up but worried about waking Xiang Tianzhi, finally resigned as their lips touched.
Xue Mei's heart skipped a beat, as she felt Xiang Tianzhi's fragrant, red-colored breath visible on her face, let alone Xiang Tianzhi's Dragon staff touching her knees. As the cold air touched her skin, Xue Mei involuntarily hugged Xiang Tianzhi's waist and tightened her body, and her lips grew even more attached.
The exhausted Xiang Tianzhi was already heavily sleepy, not knowing that he and Xue Mei had already embraced like Dao couple. As the exhausted Xue Mei endured her female turmoil, she ended up sleeping as well until she woke up, it was fortunate that Xiang Tianzhi was still sound asleep.
Immediately Xue Mei changed her clothes and headed for the bathroom, after coming out of the bathroom, Xue Mei already did not see her son and hurriedly searched. It turned out that Xiang Tianzhi was sitting cross-legged at the spot yesterday, under a shady tree.
"Because of mental fatigue, so overslept! Huff! What a lousy physique, how proud he was!" xiang Tianzhi's murmur to the original owner of his body.
Before Xiang Tianzhi started to shatter his dantian again, he looked at the surrounding which was shrouded in mist, the air was extremely cold touching the skin and was inhaled very refreshing, as well, once in a while he heard the roar of animals and not infrequently heard the sound of the hissing of snakes.
"Mother must have used something to repel many beasts from entering this valley!" xiang Tianzhi's unconcerned muttered again.
"Zhi'er, breakfast first!" xue Mei shouted with a beloved name call.
"Well!" sighed Xiang Tianzhi who was delayed again to begin reconstructing his dantian, and immediately stood towards his house.
"At least it should be able to hold an energy of the Golden Core level. If this physique is capable of being upgraded, I will maximize it to the equivalent of Nascent Soul!" muttered Xiang Tianzhi thoughtfully.
What was meant by Xiang Tianzhi was the spiritual energy capacity in his dantian, his goal was not to be easily exhausted or run out of energy when fighting, he said, in addition, it is also useful when he is at a level above Body Refining.
"Eat first before activating the elemental root," Xue Mei said as her son just passed through the door.
"True, Mother bought a ready-to-wear potion from an alchemist Lemon Grass and Marigold Flower," Xue Mei replied as she picked up rice for her son.
This marigold flower is known for its beautiful yellow flowers. This plant also often decorates the yard of the house.
Marigolds are commonly grown in an effort to prevent pests. Traditionally, marigolds were also believed to repel mole rats.
This function is obtained from the roots of plants that grow aggressively and emit a pungent odor. This smell repels many pests and a number of other living things that reside in gardens, forests, including snakes and wild animals.
Lemon Grass (seed) in addition to being useful for medical purposes, Lemon grass is also known to help repel snakes and wild animals from the environment where they live.
Lemon grass produces an orange scent that can block the passage of snakes. Citronella is also a by-product of Lemon grass which is very hated by mosquitoes.
Xue Mei deliberately bought it and it turned out to be useful when finding their place now, both types of potions were very easy to obtain and affordable.
Xiang Tianzhi greedily finished all the food to nothing, and made Xue Mei happy to see her son so thoroughly enjoying his cooking.
"What supplies are there for survival here?" xiang Tianzhi asked who suddenly cared, and surprised Xue Mei by frowning.
'It's not usual for my son to care about this kind of thing ...!' inner Xue Mei sensed that there was a difference to her son's character, and answered Xiang Tianzhi's question, "there are still many, if it runs out, there will be confidants who send him. So, we don't have to worry about food supply."
Xiang Tianzhi only nodded his head, because in his mind, Xue Mei as a former concubine was definitely a lot of connections, and it was impossible to carelessly want to kill Xiang Huangdi without careful planning. And being able to escape from Empress Yin's pursuit was impossible without anyone supporting.
Xiang Tianzhi threw away all thoughts about Xiang Huangdi and Xue Mei for the time being, especially Xue Mei who seemed to be harboring a huge secret from Xiang Tianzhi. He was sure that if he was strong later and surpassed all the forces in Dongyun Continent, he would know all the secrets of Xue Mei and avenge Xiang Huangdi without making Xue Mei worry, he said, if it could not be until it was known by Xue Mei.
After eating and saying goodbye to Xue Mei, Xiang Tianzhi walked out of the house and went around the area of their house, his goal was to find a comfortable place to reconstruct his dantian without any more distractions.
Xiang Tianzhi saw that this place was so sheltered that there were only two paths to get to where they were, the path was so narrow that only one person could pass through. Xiang Tianzhi also saw that one of the paths behind their house had been covered in rocks and twigs and planted with trees.
"When threatened, a person will try to protect himself as best he can!" muttered Xiang Tianzhi who admired the intelligence of Xue Mei, who had already arranged everything safely and comfortably to stay in the Bamboo Hill Forest, more precisely this place was called a valley.
Finally Xiang Tianzhi found a suitable place, a small cave that was not too big and deep, fit for three people to take temporary shelter. As soon as Xiang Tianzhi cleaned the cave and threw away everything dirty, he wanted to create a comfortable place to cultivate.
Xiang Tianzhi also covered the door of the cave with tree branches and took many reeds as his seat later. After everything was settled, Xiang Tianzhi immediately sat down cross-legged and was ready to reconstruct his dantian to the maximum extent of his physique.
Xue Mei smiled looking at her son in the distance, since she was always watching her son, she was worried that Xiang Tianzhi was out of the limits he had made. While watching Xiang Tianzhi, Xue Mei also sat under the protective tree of her house.
"Check, uhuk!" Xiang Tianzhi coughed up blood while crushing his dantian, and immediately took a Heavenly level healing pill.
"Lack of patience!" murmured Xue Mei who heard Xiang Tianzhi's coughed voice, she thought that Xiang Tianzhi had failed to awaken the elemental root.
Actually Xue Mei was hoping that if her son could not cultivate anymore, thus Xiang Tianzhi would not take revenge on Xiang Huangdi and Mu Bingyun.
"But, there was also a good thing that he lost some memory ...," Xue Mei said in a soft voice while talking to herself.
Time and again Xue Mei heard Xiang Tianzhi's coughing voice, whether she had heard it so many times that she ignored her son's coughing voice, Xue Mei herself was also cultivating, she was on the verge of a breakthrough leveling up.
"Ha, ha, ha!" Xiang Tianzhi panted heavily after crushing his dantian for the latter, "only this is his maximum limit, passable!" muttered Xiang Tianzhi who was slightly pleased with the result, when it was already as he wished, a dantian capable of accommodating Nascent Soul-level energy.
"Master, with the accumulation of Heavenly level healing pills that you consume, is able to increase your strength to break through to the level of a stage 10 Golden Core, it can even reach the level of an early stage Nascent Soul without having to stabilize the foundation."
Suddenly a voice rang out in Xiang Tianzhi's mind, that voice was the voice of the Life Core that was in his dantian. Rushed Xiang Tianzhi looked at his dantian and what the Life Core said turned out to be true.
