Chapter 1414: Chapter 423: Fine Mountains, Fine Waters, Fine Cultivation

Chen Yan still relied on the old method from the past few months, not using the Primordial Qi Transport Technique he used to cultivate, nor did he guide the Primordial Qi in any way, but simply let it wander and nourish his body according to instinct.

About a minute later, Chen Yan’s body began to heat up.

His head and face, his skin began to blush slightly, like he was drunk or had a fever, visibly turning red.

Even on top of his head, a faint steam started to rise!

If he were to use a thermometer at this moment, Chen Yan’s body temperature would probably have far exceeded the limit of what humans can reach during a fever.

Yet Chen Yan not only felt comfortable, he actually felt increasingly soothed.

Finally, he closed his eyes, carefully sensing the flow of Primordial Qi within his body.

He realized a problem.

As the Primordial Qi flowed through his body, it was also enhancing his cultivation and expanding his meridians.

The enhancement of cultivation and expansion of meridians would consume the Primordial Qi flowing through his body.

The enhancement was too slow, and the consumption was also too slow.

This rich Primordial Qi flowing within his body was like a raging torrent with no exit, turning faster and faster!

He carefully sensed the path of Primordial Qi flow and suddenly had a realization.

Suddenly, he sensed that a small part of this Primordial Qi flow seemed to match a segment he had seen...

Finally, Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, then made a decision, and began to silently recite a spell in his heart!

This spell was neither the Primordial Qi Transport Technique left by an elderly woman he used to cultivate, nor any cultivation technique from the Domain Realm.

Instead...

It was the Cultivation Technique left by Xie Jiuyan!

Not the heirloom cultivation technique that could only be practiced by the Xie Family’s bloodline, but the "Nurturing Technique" that Xie Jiuyan had invented on his own!

Among its training incantations, there were one or two phrases whose paths of Primordial Qi flow matched exactly with the path of flow inside Chen Yan’s body at this moment!

Whether by coincidence or destined by fate in the unseen world.

Anyway, Chen Yan suddenly had such a thought at this moment and recited a few sentences from Xie Jiuyan’s cultivation technique, then...

After he had abolished half a year of cultivation, for the first time, he didn’t let the Primordial Qi flow on its own, but like a true cultivator, he actively began to guide the flow of Primordial Qi within his body towards a specific direction.

He began to actively practice.

Practicing was Xie Jiuyan’s self-invented technique, the Essence Nourishing Technique!

Chen Yan seemed to have fallen asleep, or perhaps was just in a shallow nap.

But when he opened his eyes again, the air in the cave deep within the mountain was seemingly filled with faint moisture.

It was as if these vapors were the moisture evaporated from his body heating up.

Chen Yan felt his body sway, a flash before his eyes, his limbs were sore and weak.

He immediately realized this was the state of dehydration caused by excessive evaporation of moisture due to the Primordial Qi steaming.

Upon reaching this conclusion, Chen Yan immediately struggled to get up and walk outside. He teetered out, only to feel dizzy and dry-mouthed, as if his throat was splitting.

Although he had never experienced it, Chen Yan felt his current state was like someone who hadn’t drunk water for three days and nights in the desert.

He bit his teeth with difficulty and pulled out a bottle of water from his hiking backpack, unscrewed it, and poured it into his mouth.

Water entered his throat, as if awakening his body for the first time.

An entire liter bottle of purified water went down, and Chen Yan burped a few times, feeling his stomach was completely full.

Yet, the body still felt thirsty.

He knew that although he had drunk plenty of water, the speed of water digestion hadn’t caught up, so his body still felt dehydrated.

He didn’t continue drinking water, but walked with the bottle outside the cave, coming to the creek.

By now, it was night, the campfire started during the day had already burned out, and the pot of steaming python meat soup was still in the pot.

Unfortunately, it had already dried up.

"Wasted a pot of good meat." Chen Yan shook his head, feeling the persistent thirst in his body, took the dried pot to the creek to wash it out, then boiled a new pot of water and put in some peeled python meat.

(The smoked python meat needed to be smoked for a few more days).

Chen Yan looked up at the skewered python meat hanging over the campfire.

A sudden thought arose in his mind.

Back then, Xie Jiuyan, who lived in these deep mountains, probably led days like these, didn’t he?

Over an hour later, Chen Yan added firewood to the campfire a few times, refilled the water a few times.

Finally, this pot of snake meat soup was made again.

After sprinkling a bit of black pepper powder to remove the gamy smell, Chen Yan took a sip, his eyebrows suddenly jerked up!

That python, purely from Primordial Qi cultivation level, already reached almost the extent of the Second Realm.

Just lacking divine techniques and not opening its spiritual intelligence.

But such a Second Realm python, its meat was indeed incredibly tender and delicious!

The flesh nourished by Primordial Qi almost melted in the mouth, while the rich Primordial Qi carried an irresistible fragrant aroma!

This food was akin to those specially made for cultivators that Chen Yan had tasted in the Domain Realm!

Food nourished by Primordial Qi was indeed far superior to mundane food!

And this pot of python meat soup was even finer!

Because even in the Domain Realm, those cultivators weren’t extravagant enough to use animals with Second Realm cultivation as ingredients!
