The Desire to Be Eternal
Chapter 6: Drunk in Spiritual Energy



The sound of Bai Xiaochun's screams surged in the air below the third peak, attracting the attention of many astonished servants. They could all clearly see Bai Xiaochun, the black wok on his back, wearing several layers of clothes, running at breakneck speed through the servant district. He looked like a fat round ball.


From a distance, it was difficult to actually see Bai Xiaochun himself, but you would definitely see a black skillet, which made him seem almost like a beetle as he flew.


Then there were eight meat machetes hanging on his belt, which clashed and clanked as he fled.


"Murder!" he screamed as he ran, adding speed. “Someone save me! I don't want to die …. "


Xu Baocai was hot on his tail, his face was pale, eyes were fiercely sparkling and his heart was filled with anxiety and anger.


Pursuing Bai Xiaochun in this way attracted quite a bit of attention from the servants, and Xu Baocai was worried that the Honor Guards would take notice. The nervousness in his heart continued to grow.


"Stop yelling, goddamn it!" Xu Baocai rampaged. "please calm! What are you shouting for? Quiet down!" Gritting his teeth, he made a two-handed spell move, causing the wooden sword to flash with light and then shoot towards the fleeing Bai Xiaochun.


Clangs rang out as the wooden sword struck Bai Xiaochun's black skillet. As the voice echoed, Bai Xiaochun continued running as if nothing had happened.


Xu Baocai gnashed his teeth. The large wok on Bai Xiaochun's back covered almost half of his body, making it extremely difficult to hit him. However, feeling that he did not have many other options, Xu Baocai continued to chase.


So they ran through the servant district, Bai Xiaochun took the lead, Xu Baocai ran behind him.


"This guy is pretty fast, even with a frying pan on his back!" thought Xu Baocai, panting as he fell far behind in pursuit. His cultivation base was at the second level of Qi Condensation, and he ran as hard as he could. However, Bai Xiaochun ran over with a rabbit spirit whose tail had been stepped on. No matter what Xu Baocai did, he could not catch up.


What was even more terrifying was that he was getting tired, yet had yet to touch his opponent. On the contrary, Bai Xiaochun did not seem to be a little tired at all, and also shouted like a pig in the slaughterhouse.


Soon, Bai Xiaochun saw a small path leading to the Oven, and his eyes glittered with excitement. She suddenly felt as if she had arrived home, and the sensation was so heartwarming that she almost cried.


"Sister Elder, save me!" she cried. "He tried to kill me!" A trail of dust rose into the air behind him as he dashed towards the Oven at breakneck speed. Big Fatty Zhang and the others heard his screams and rushed out, shocked expressions on their faces.


"Sister Elder, save me! Xu Baocai tried to kill me! My poor little life is on the front line! ” Bai Xiaochun quickly rushed behind Big Fatty Zhang.


Big Fatty Zhang's eyes gleamed with a ferocious light as he looked around warily, but he didn't see anyone.


"Xu Baocai?" She asked. It was at this point that Xu Baocai finally appeared, panting as he dashed down the road towards the Oven.


When Bai Xiaochun realized how far behind Xu Baocai was, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.


"eeee? Why is he running so slow? "


Zhang Fatty Great looked at Bai Xiaochun, and then returned to Xu Baocai who was panting heavily. The movement caused the fat on his face to tremble slightly.


Xu Baocai had spent a lot of effort in pursuit, so when he approached Ovens and then heard what Bai Xiaochun said, he was filled with such great anger that he felt like he was about to explode. With a roar, he waved his right hand, sending his wooden sword piercing into a nearby tree.


Explosions could be heard, and the tree trembled as a sword pierced through it, leaving a gaping hole.


"Bai Xiaochun," he exclaimed, "our differences are irreconcilable!" His eyes completely reddened as he looked at Bai Xiaochun, and then the huge Big Fatty Zhang. Finally, he turned around angrily and started walking back down the path.


Bai Xiaochun's heart was pounding as he looked at the hole in the tree. Then he looked back at the enraged Xu Baocai, and gulped as an uneasy feeling surfaced in his heart.


Big Fatty Zhang looked at the figure of the retreating Xu Baocai, and his eyes flickered with a sinister gleam. Then he patted Bai Xiaochun on the shoulder.


"Don't worry, Ninth Junior Brother. Xu Baocai may have some good connections in the sect, but if he dares to show his face here again, our Elder Brother will cut off one of his legs! ” However, as soon as those words came out of his mouth, his tone changed. “Although, it might be better if you don't leave the Oven, Ninth Junior Brother.you look a bit thin, I think I should fatten you up a little. After all, Elder Zhou celebrated his decade-long birthday in a few days. ”


Bai Xiaochun nodded his head in a daze as he stared at the hole Xu Baocai's wooden sword left in the tree.


He then followed his Unifying Brother back to the Oven. Then, he sat in his room, pondering and feeling even more uncomfortable than before. The fact that his opponent could send a wooden sword through a tree meant that if it hit him, he would definitely become a corpse by now.


"It won't work unless I plan on staying in the oven for the rest of my life. What if he catches me next time I go out …? ” Bai Xiaochun could not stop thinking about the venomous appearance Xu Baocai had made before leaving.


"Creating! I'm gonna do it! I'll go all out! I will go all out so that I will scare myself, let alone everyone! " His eyes are now completely red. Rather than saying that Bai Xiaochun was the type of person who was afraid of death, it would be more accurate to say that he was simply not safe. The ordeal he had just undergone only served to awaken his resolve.


"I'll practice cultivation! I will become stronger !! " Bai Xiaochun's breath came in tattered pants as he made his decision. He took out a bamboo scroll of the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art, opened it up to the second illustration, and then immediately started practicing cultivation.


He may be afraid of death, but he is also persistent. Otherwise, he would have never been able to light an incense stick thirteen times throughout the year, despite the threat of lightning.


Smiling with a ruthless determination, he took a position in the second illustration, steadfastly maintaining that pose. Previously, he had only been able to last for about ten breaths of time, but this time, he had actually lasted for fifteen.


He finally felt pain, his forehead dripping with sweat. However, the demonic rays in his eyes did not fade. Immediately, he could endure for twenty breaths of time, then thirty. The small stream that was the qi container on his body was now ten percent complete. Gasping for breath, the vision faded to black, he finally rested for a moment, then started cultivating again.


The night went by relatively well. Soon it was the next day. And the day after that. But one more day …. Fifteen days have finally passed. Other than eating and visiting the restroom, Bai Xiaochun never left his room. For someone just starting out in cultivation practice, such boredom is usually difficult to endure. However, Bai Xiaochun did not even give up.


Big Fatty Zhang and the others were shocked by his relentless cultivation practice. It should be stated that cultivating the Art of Control of the Violet Qi Cauldron was no easy task. In principle, it is relatively simple. However, postures that must be maintained to reach various levels all cause unimaginable pain, and therefore require tremendous perseverance. Normally, the servants in the sect would give up after only a few days of trying to cultivate it.


Therefore, when Big Fatty Zhang and the others saw Bai Xiaochun continue to cultivate it for over half a month, they felt like they were observing a completely different person than they had met a few months ago.


Her clothes became wrinkled, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were completely red. He looked completely drenched, and at the same time, completely focused. Despite the pain she felt, she never gave up.


Another thing that happened was that he started losing some of the fat he had accumulated. At the same time, the spirit pressure he emitted increased by over fifty percent. He was now very close to the large circle of the first level of Qi Condensation.


Apparently, all the valuable ingredients he had eaten had accumulated in his fat. By practicing cultivation the way he was, forcing those objects to materialize as part of his cultivation base. It also ended up making his body harder than most people.


“Ninth Young Brother, why don't you take a break? you have been practicing cultivation non-stop for over half a month. " Fatty Zhang and the others tried to persuade him to stop. However, when he looked at them, they saw a ray of determination in his eyes that made them shaken.


Time pass. Soon, Bai Xiaochun had been practicing cultivation like a madman for an entire month. Big Fatty Zhang and the others were shocked. In fact, Big Fatty Zhang even said, "he's not cultivating, he's killing himself!"


At this point in his cultivation, Bai Xiaochun could hold the pose in the second illustration for over 100 breaths of time. Immediately, he reached 150 breaths of time. The spiritual energy within him was no longer a small stream. It's much, much bigger than that.


Another month passed. Big Fatty Zhang and the others trembled in fear, worried that Bai Xiaochun had actually committed suicide from working too hard. Even as they were devising a plan to get rid of Xu Baocai, a huge rumbling sound rang out from Bai Xiaochun's cottage.


As the sound echoed, a spirit pressure of the second level of Qi Condensation erupted from the hut, spreading out to tens of meters in all directions. As soon as Big Fatty Zhang and the others sensed it, they looked up with shocked expressions.


"Little Junior Brother has broken through!"


“Second level of Qi Condensation! He had not even taken part of the Ovens snack setting for over half a year, and he had already reached the second level of Qi Condensation! That's very rare! "


"It took an entire year to reach the second level of Qi Condensation …." Even as they exclaimed in shock, a collision could be heard as Bai Xiaochun's door opened, and he exploded, looking exhausted and tangled. However, his eyes glistened brightly.


Big Fatty Zhang and the others were just about to rush over to congratulate when Bai Xiaochun flashed through the air and nimbly landed on the bamboo fence surrounding the Oven. He clasped his hands behind his back and tilted his head proudly, looking into the distance with a deep radiance in his eyes. He looks like a proud and lonely hero.


Big Fatty Zhang and the others exchanged disappointed looks.


"What's he standing there for? He looks so weird …. "


"Is Junior Sister .... possessed or something?"


Almost as soon as they saw Bai Xiaochun and his strange appearance, they heard his voice echo, sounding proud and wise.


“Xu Baocai was a perfect person who was chosen among the servants of the Spirit Stream Sect, extremely evil, and famous everywhere. His cultivation base was even at the second level of terrifying Qi Condensation. However, my cultivation base is also at the second level of Qi Condensation. The fight between us will be a balanced match. This would probably be a battle talked about in all the lands, a battle that would shake the entire sect. However, it must be combated, no matter how much blood and blood flows, no matter how many shattered bones and tendons. No, this battle is far, too important.I must continue practicing cultivation! ”


After he finished speaking, Bai Xiaochun looked around for a moment, then flicked his sleeves and returned to his room. The slammed door closed behind him as he began another secluded meditation session. Big Fatty Zhang and the others gulped, and exchanged looks. Finally, Fatty Hei Third said, "Don't tell me we gave Junior Brother spoiled food?"


Fatty Huang both shivered and replied, "Oh, no! It's bad! Young Brother is drunk on spiritual energy! He had gone mad from cultivating …. We must not provoke him now! "
