Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter Six Hundred

Deep into the Night

After feasting and enjoying the snake dance, Long Xiaoshan went to rest. He was naturally taken to the Serpent Witch Sect's most luxurious sleeping palace, which had been the abode of the Snake Spirit Zunzhe.

Long Xiaoshan was full of vigor. Cultivating at this time was extraordinarily effective, and the place of the Serpent Witch Sect, deep in the mountains and forests, had more abundant spiritual energy than the outside world. Since he had no desire to sleep, Long Xiaoshan simply sat cross-legged on the especially large, wide, and soft bed and began to practice.

He flicked his finger, extinguishing the lamp.

Only allowing the moonlight from outside to filter in.

Bathed in the moonlight, Long Xiaoshan took out several jade tokens and shot them into the surroundings. The void suddenly fluctuated, and an invisible force pulled the spiritual energy from the vicinity towards it, making the spiritual energy within the bedroom progressively denser.

This was a simple Spirit Gathering Array, designed to accumulate spiritual energy.

It could draw in the spiritual energy within a hundred-meter radius.

If it were a powerful Spirit Gathering Array, it could even extract the spiritual energy from within a kilometer or even tens of kilometers into the formation.

However, such complex formations couldn't be set up hastily.

After consuming a large amount of premium Emperor's Royal Jelly in Death God Valley, Long Xiaoshan's True Qi had reached the peak of the Fifth Level of Qi Induction, and he felt he could break through to the Sixth Layer of Qi Drawing at any moment. Once he made that breakthrough, his strength would surely increase significantly.

Now, making use of the post-dual cultivation liveliness of his True Qi, he prepared to challenge the Sixth Layer of Qi Drawing.

He held his breath and focused, activating the Longevity Art.

The True Qi vortex within his Dantian spun rapidly.

True Qi circulated continuously through the cavities and meridians within his body.

An invisible aura formed around Long Xiaoshan, drawing the moonlight towards him, where tiny white specks of light pulsed in and out of his orifices.

Long Xiaoshan accumulated his True Qi, constantly assaulting the Sixth Layer of Qi Drawing.

Suddenly his sleeping robe bulged violently, and even his full head of black hair stirred as if dancing. This state lasted for several minutes until Long Xiaoshan abruptly opened his eyes.

The surge of air expanded outward violently, shattering all the vases and other decorations in the room.

A hint of regret showed on Long Xiaoshan's face.

He was so close, just a bit more, and yet he still couldn't break through to the Sixth Layer of Qi Drawing. Without relying on Elixir Pills or heaven-sent treasures, cultivation was indeed too difficult. No wonder those Spirit Masters were all well into their old age.

Cultivation truly was a daunting task.

Looking at it, he should already be content.

In just half a year, he had gone from a nobody to a Spirit Master at the Fifth Level of Qi Induction. Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire

If those of the Xuan Gate knew of his cultivation speed, while Long Xiaoshan was still lamenting the difficulty of cultivation, they'd definitely spit out blood in frustration.

Long Xiaoshan felt that he was still lacking a final push.

That final push, although seemingly minimal, could mean a standstill in progress for three to five months. He had hoped to make a breakthrough before his duel with the Iron Palm Gang Leader, which would have given him a greater chance of victory.

Now, hoping for a breakthrough in the remaining three to five days seemed unrealistic.

It would be better to consider cultivating the Second Prime Spirit, refining an External Incarnation, which seemed more promising.

If he could cultivate the Heavenly Silkworm into his Second Prime Spirit, he wouldn't fear the Iron Palm Gang Leader. Even if a Grandmaster came, what of it? They couldn't withstand the absorption of the Heavenly Silkworm.

Long Xiaoshan extracted all the inheritances related to cultivating the Second Prime Spirit from his mind and was about to study them carefully when suddenly his gaze flickered towards the door. He hadn't locked it, and now, the door was quietly pushed open, and a woman with a figure as sinuous as a snake entered silently.

When she looked up and directly into Long Xiaoshan's deep, black eyes,

she was so startled that she almost screamed, hastily covering her mouth.

...

Serpent Enchantress Mei Niang ran fast and was extremely agile. Every time Long Xiaoshan nearly caught her, she would slip through his fingers. The two swiftly chased out of the sleeping palace and into the back garden, running along a narrow path for quite a while.

The surroundings became deathly silent.

The environment grew desolate, and it was unclear where they'd ended up.

Before Long Xiaoshan, a massive ritual altar emerged, on top of which stood a colossal statue of a snake with a human face.

The Serpent Enchantress Mei Niang dashed quickly up the altar.

Long Xiaoshan followed suit.

After reaching the altar, the Serpent Enchantress Mei Niang finally stopped, and was caught by Long Xiaoshan who said with a smile, "You really can run, but now I've finally caught you, haven't I?"

The Serpent Enchantress Mei Niang turned around, the flirtatious smile on her face disappearing in an instant, leaving only a cold gaze as piercing as a snake's. She looked at Long Xiaoshan and said, "Let me go."

Long Xiaoshan's smile remained unchanged, "Didn't you say if I caught you, you would be mine?"

The Serpent Enchantress Mei Niang scoffed, "With just you? I am a woman of the Snake God, you, a mere mortal, are not worthy of me, not to mention having me as your handmaiden."

"Is that so?" Long Xiaoshan still smiled faintly.
