Chapter 10 Compressing Spiritual Power

Inside Liang Junjie's room in a remote southern region of Guangzhou.

Huo Chuyu was giving Liang Junjie some inspirational platitudes.

"When will this cycle of revenge end? If you hadn't kicked that woman away today, Yu Xueji would be the one who died."

"If I were to intervene today, it would affect the fate of the two of you and bring about an even greater calamity."

Liang Junjie stared at Huo Chuyu with bloodshot eyes. His voice was hoarse, after all, it was the first time he had killed someone, even though it was for the purpose of saving someone.

"Master, stop with the empty platitudes. Help me compress the spiritual energy within my body."

Huo Chuyu patted Liang Junjie's head, then placed her hands on Liang Junjie's abdomen.

Pure spiritual energy flowed into Liang Junjie's dantian through his meridians and blood.

The spiritual energy that was originally at the bottleneck position in the dantian and was about to overflow became extremely irritable when it sensed the appearance of unfamiliar spiritual energy.

However, in terms of both quantity and quality, Huo Chuyu's spiritual power suppressed Liang Junjie's spiritual power.

The white spiritual energy receded back into the dantian like a tide, while the incoming purple spiritual energy continuously compressed the space available for the white spiritual energy to move.

The turbulent scene within his dantian directly affected Liang Junjie in the outside world.

At this moment, Liang Junjie's face was covered in sweat like raindrops, and his back was completely soaked.

"Master, why is compressing spiritual energy so painful? And why do I have to build a solid foundation by compressing spiritual energy?"

After enduring the agonizing compression of spiritual energy for two hours, Liang Junjie felt that his dantian was now mostly empty, allowing him to continue cultivating his technique.

"The principle of suffering is very simple. It's like you're a fat person and you insist on wearing size S clothes; or you have size 43 feet and you insist on wearing size 39 high heels."

"But this is also different. Spiritual energy can be stacked together, just like compressed towels or compressed biscuits. Their essence doesn't change; only their mass increases and their volume decreases. Naturally, the pressure also increases."

"As for why you must build a solid foundation by compressing spiritual energy, don't you think you're a little too old? In mortal terms, it's like an old man taking the college entrance exam or Fan Jin taking the imperial examination. It's not that you lack talent, but your body can't keep up. So if you want to successfully establish your foundation, you must build a solid foundation."

Huo Chuyu's words were straightforward and insightful, and Liang Junjie instantly understood why he had to go through all this torment.

"Get some rest early tonight. You have to work tomorrow, right? I think you only have one day off a week during the New Year's Day holiday?" Huo Chuyu looked at the time and saw that it was already 22 PM.

Liang Junjie waved his hand, then took out those high-grade spirit stones and randomly picked one to place in Huo Chuyu's hand.

"If Master finds my apprenticeship gift distasteful, then I will give Master something even better in the future."

Huo Chuyu looked at the spirit stone in her hand, which was radiating rich spiritual energy, and her eyes became slightly dazed.

Although she was a favored daughter of heaven in her childhood, she actually only had a small amount of pocket money. Her father's support for her was based on how many tasks she completed and how many good things she did for the family. No one ever looked up to her because she was a favored daughter of heaven, because the cultivation world was not lacking in geniuses, and even less lacking in geniuses who served the family.

Liang Junjie's casual gesture left Huo Chuyu somewhat at a loss.

A moment later, Huo Chuyu placed the high-grade spirit stone back into Liang Junjie's hand, then patted his head and said softly:

"High-grade spirit stones are nothing more than roadside stones that I can easily obtain. You should keep them for your own cultivation. However, you must remember: you cannot rely too much on the spiritual power of spirit stones for cultivation, otherwise you will become a spirit stone jar, the kind of person who cannot even cultivate without spirit stones."

After arranging a room for Huo Chuyu, Liang Junjie returned to his own bed and casually cast a purification spell on himself and the room. All the dust condensed into a ball of sand, which he then tossed into the flowerbed on the balcony.

After doing all this, he closed his eyes and began to meditate. For cultivators, meditation can replace sleep. In fact, for cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage, physical meditation can restore energy much faster than sleeping.

"Fire is born, fire grows on the earth, fire is present in all things..."

Silently reciting the incantation of the cultivation technique, his body, which was already passively absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, absorbed it at a much faster pace.

Meanwhile, the five high-grade spirit stones that had been placed on the bedside table were now constantly emitting wisps of spiritual energy, which were seeping into Liang Junjie's nostrils and lower abdomen.

"This kid can probably really achieve the Foundation Establishment in 100 days, but we still need to deal with the little rat first."

Huo Chuyu sat in the room, her soul leaving her body. After glancing at Liang Junjie, she drifted towards a suburb of Yangcheng.

In the suburbs of U City, Guangzhou, Qian Hu was already preparing to flee overnight. After all, offending the Yu family was no good thing; he could die without a burial place in no time.

"Biaozi's been arrested, Su Li's dead. Now I'm all alone, and I absolutely can't die like this!"

Qian Hu started the car and revved the engine, but no matter how many times he revved it or how hard he pressed the accelerator, the car just wouldn't move forward.

"What's going on? Is something holding up my car?"

Qian Hu was already sweating profusely. He never underestimated the methods of the Yu family. He quickly activated the martial arts technique he had bought from a black market merchant, and held a pistol in his right hand and a homemade stun grenade in his left.

Huo Chuyu coldly stared at the little mouse who had just gotten off the car. Her cultivation level was so high that Qian Hu, who was not even at the Qi Refining stage, could not see Huo Chuyu's soul, which was standing less than three meters in front of him.

"You are the cause and effect of my disciple. You cannot leave. Be good and wait until tomorrow, until my disciple comes to find you. Otherwise, you will turn into a wisp of dust in the air tonight."

Huo Chuyu's voice directly affected Qian Hu's soul. The absolute crushing power of his soul directly overwhelmed Qian Hu's stubborn psychological defenses, and Qian Hu was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

"Great Immortal, spare me! Great Immortal, spare me! I will never dare to do it again!"

Huo Chuyu ignored him and casually cast a small spell. As long as Qian Hu did not leave the suburbs of U City, he would not die.

After doing all this, Huo Chuyu had a thought, and her soul returned directly to her body. She breathed a sigh of relief, then opened her phone and tagged Yu Xueji in the chat group.

"Meet downstairs at Xiao Liang's house at 6:00 AM tomorrow."

Yu Xueji was still sitting in her room. She didn't have to go to work tomorrow, but what happened today had made her question her life and caused her worldview to begin to collapse.

"Cultivation of immortality, kidnappers, Liang Junjie, a woman who will suddenly appear in front of me..."

Just as her brain was about to overload, she received a message mentioning her in the group chat.

"What will happen if I don't agree? Will I be called heartless? Will I be arrested?" These thoughts swirled and clashed within him, ultimately coalescing into a single word tapped out by his fingers: "Okay."
