Chapter 5: Three Years, Breaking Through to Dou Practitioner
"Hu..."
In a low building within an alley, Su Yun was absorbing the Dou Qi.
A pale energy flow permeated from the air, continuously surging into the young man's body.
As the Dou Qi continuously flowed in, a hint of fatigue flashed across Su Yun's face. He released his hand gesture, stopping the cultivation.
Su Yun stood up from the basin, twisted his sore neck, stretched lazily, and a crackling sound of bones colliding echoed.
"Since obtaining the system, it has been about three years..." Su Yun silently calculated the time.
Although his system couldn't keep up with the times, unable to check in or play the role of an unrivaled expert, it could still dominate the air if used properly, coupled with his foresight ability. The future was promising.
Leaving the house, Su Yun walked towards the main street. This time, he was going to relax.
In these three years, apart from necessary supplies, he had almost never left his home.
Now that his cultivation had reached the ninth stage of Dou Qi, and the Dou Qi in his body was full, there was no room for improvement.
After finishing cultivation, attempting to forcefully condense the Dou Qi cyclone in the state of discomfort would likely result in failure.
He needed to adjust his state.
Since he learned about the Dou Qi Continent, his mind had been filled only with cultivation, and he hadn't paid much attention to the surrounding environment.
Naturally, he had no friends in Wutan City, and with his mental age, he couldn't relate to people his age.
His relaxation this time was just a stroll in Wutan City.
After relaxing for an hour in Wutan City, Su Yun's thoughts became active again.
"At the age of nine, reaching the ninth stage of Dou Qi is considered a genius, not just in the Gamma Empire but also in the Central Region."
Thanks to the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid, his current cultivation surpassed his peers, even surpassing Xiao Yan.
If he successfully condensed the Dou Qi cyclone in one go, he would become a Dou Practitioner two years earlier than Xiao Yan.
Su Yun encouraged himself.
Being a member of the transmigrators, gaining the system, successfully retrieving the Medicine Elder's lifelong memories, and having a bit of luck—his fortune wasn't bad.
In any case, he couldn't be timid. Even if he were scolded as an idiot, he had to move forward!
If he couldn't even condense a Dou Qi cyclone, he might as well go AFK.
...
Adjusting his state, Su Yun returned home and sat cross-legged.
After taking a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed the rolling discomfort in his heart, further adjusting his breath on the bed.
After an hour, Su Yun finally adjusted his state to its peak. At this moment, it was the best time for him to break through to Dou Practitioner.
Su Yun's face was calm, showing no expression. His hands formed seals to absorb the Dou Qi, his breath gradually stabilized, and the faint Dou Qi responded to his will.
In the room, the calm air suddenly surged, and a faint white Dou Qi permeated from the air, entering Su Yun's body.
As time passed, the Dou Qi from all directions continuously poured in, and the scale of the Dou Qi inside Su Yun's body was slowly expanding.
With the continuous infusion of external Dou Qi, the Dou Qi in Su Yun's body had filled most of the meridians.
Feeling the internal situation, Su Yun took a deep breath, the hand seals changed suddenly, and ten fingers formed a strange seal.
With the change of hand seals, the surging Dou Qi in the body, as if subjected to a fierce suction, rapidly contracted towards the lower abdomen.
When all the Dou Qi contracted to the lower abdomen, the pale Dou Qi had begun to transform into milky white.
Feeling the milky white Dou Qi tilting in all the meridians, Su Yun took a deep breath. The hand seals changed suddenly, and the powerful forces of the two worlds compressed the Dou Qi in his body.
The milky white Dou Qi in the lower abdomen began to resist, violently churning.
The resistance was not weak, but Su Yun's mental age combined was almost thirty. His soul power was outstanding at the ninth stage of Dou Qi.
After a brief stalemate, the two forces continued to contract the Dou Qi.
After an unknown amount of time, a muffled sound quietly echoed in the body...
With the sound, the sense of resistance dissipated into thin air.
Taking a deep breath, Su Yun's chest heaved violently.
Lying on the bed, feeling the abundant energy in his body, a smile appeared on Su Yun's lips. Just as he was about to get up, a drowsiness surged, and he fell into a deep sleep.
...
This sleep lasted a night. Su Yun woke up on the second morning.
The morning light slowly unfolded, and the newborn sun shone on the young man's cheeks. Several sparrows chirped by the window.
On the bird's nest outside, the small chicks had developed wings, ready to soar a thousand miles.
Su Yun exhaled lightly, moved his slightly numb legs, and sat cross-legged.
With half-closed eyes, Su Yun's consciousness gradually sank into his body.
Internal view, an ability that only Dou Practitioners could master. The higher the strength, the more thorough the exploration of the internal situation.
Sinking his consciousness into the lower abdomen, a palm-sized milky white vortex was slowly rotating. On the periphery of the vortex, it was enveloped by a layer of milky white nebula-like energy gas.
Staring at this tiny vortex, Su Yun nodded in satisfaction.
Although the current vortex was small, the energy contained within it was incomparable to the time when he was at the ninth stage of Dou Qi.
The difference between a Dou Practitioner and the Dou Qi stage was almost fundamentally different.
The energy absorbed by the Dou Practitioner before was called Dou Qi, and after becoming a Dou Practitioner, the energy absorbed was the true Dou Qi!
Although the two terms differed by only one word, the gap between them could not be summarized in just one or two words.
Opening his closed eyes suddenly, a hint of self-confidence flashed in Su Yun's deep eyes.
The strength of a Dou Practitioner was not to be underestimated, not only in the Dou Qi Continent but also in Wutan City.
However, the sense of satisfaction from the promotion still made him feel satisfied.
Even if he was weaker, he was stronger than the Dou Qi stage.
Adjusting his mentality, silently reminding himself that it wasn't time to be complacent, Su Yun began to browse through Medicine Elder's memories.
Unlike the Dou Qi stage, Dou Practitioners could start practicing Dou Techniques.
On the Dou Qi Continent, Yellow-grade techniques were everywhere, while those above Profound grade were not accessible to ordinary people.
The same applied to Dou Skills. Those above the Profound grade had to join a sect or academy to obtain them. Of course, if you had enough wealth, you could try your luck at an auction.
Su Yun wasn't worried about this aspect.
Alchemists, especially high-level alchemists, didn't care about gold coins.
If you wanted a high-level alchemist to refine medicine for you, you needed to offer something that could impress them.
In this regard, Dou Techniques and Skills were especially useful.
Medicine Elder, as a peak Eighth-rank alchemist, must have an extensive collection. Transitioning through this early stage was naturally not a problem.
"Wait a minute..."
"I still don't know my attributes."
Su Yun felt a headache.
