Chapter 166: 96~97: Of the Three thousand weak waters, one only needs a ladle; of the Three thousand Great Dao, one only seeks for a single path (two in one, asking for monthly tickets)_1 Chapter 166: 96~97: Of the Three thousand weak waters, one only needs a ladle; of the Three thousand Great Dao, one only seeks for a single path (two in one, asking for monthly tickets)_1 The sun and moon busily traverse the celestial path, with time flashing by.
In the blink of an eye, two months have swiftly passed by.
In the courtyard, a Taoist dressed in the standardized robe of a Changchun Sect disciple sat still for a while, carefully observing the sensation of the blood-killing gas within his body, warm like a baking furnace, transmitting thousands of threads of warmth throughout his body.
This blood-killing gas circulated throughout his body, gradually filling and revitalizing the primordial qi that had been slightly exhausted a while ago.
“In half a month, I have recovered the loss from the previous breakthrough.
The Dragon Bone Training Skill, indeed worthy of a demonic technique, is the preferred method for nourishing the body.
A strong body leads to strong essence and qi, and strong qi leads to a strong divine spirit…”
“A small loss, just absorbing some of the leopard blood from the Black Cloud Leopard should make up for it…
...
I should bring back more quality meat and wine to feed the leopard.”
Chen Dengming thought to himself, content with his current rate of recovery.
Two months ago, he began to borrow books from the Changchun Sect’s library that were related to essence, qi, and spirit, life potential energy, and successful failure in foundation establishment breakthrough.
The Changchun Sect did not particularly value such educational books, and disciples in the sect could borrow them for free without paying any fees.
Only when borrowing and learning ‘methods’ related to techniques, Daoism, and secret techniques, one would need to pay, but the payment was in terms of sect contributions, not spirit stones.
However, about the contribution to the sect, Chen Dengming has been busy studying and cultivating lately and had not thought about completing any tasks for the sect.
Thus, he became an oddball, known as the salt fish among the newly-admitted disciples, spending his entire day either in the library or isolating himself at home for intense cultivation, apparently uninterested in adding his hands to the various Dharma skills of the sect.
“According to the scriptures, the so-called life potential energy refers to something at a deeper level than the body’s primordial qi, even involving the qi of the mother’s womb.
If this life potential energy is depleted, unless you find a rare treasure, you cannot replenish it at all.
This is why after a failed foundation’s establishment, the next breakthrough will be harder.
Even if the essence, qi, and spirit are restored, they no longer have enough potential energy…”
Chen Dengming has his own understanding of this.
Just like a full-of-energy youngster who is in his energetic sixteen or seventeen, not yet experienced in the world, full of gusto, and particularly vigorous in physical strength.
But once this youngster reaches eighteen and experiences the world, that gusto fades, and even if toned down too much, even if his energy is restored later, his vigor will never be the same as when he was young.
This understanding may be eccentric, but it can summarize one or two.
The scripture also points out that if one senses danger during a foundation establishment breakthrough, they can stop immediately or even cut off their losses to avoid a complete failure.
Most of the time it costs some of the body’s primordial qi, which can be slowly recovered and compensated by resting and recuperating.
When Chen Dengming got to this point, he felt enlightened, no longer perplexed by the increasingly narrow Five Elements Mountain.
No matter how strong the enticing force inside the mountain that feels like ascension is.
Once faced with danger, as long as one has the determination to cut off losses, they can escape from danger.
After those revelations.
He began his fourth attempt at breaking through the foundation establishment half a month ago.
That time, he followed the flow and delved more than halfway into the spiritual root Five Elements Mountain.
Perceiving a sense of urgency that wanted to completely crush his spirit, he made a decisive move and abandoned some of the essence and qi that were hard to mobilize and retract, breaking off losses to retreat.
So, although he lost some primordial qi that time, his life potential energy did not get hurt.
Now, that part of the lost primordial qi has been fully restored with the help of the Black Cloud Leopard’s selfless blood donation.
Chen Dengming decided to strike while the iron is hot, and immediately begin his fifth breakthrough.
The spiritual root Five Elements Mountain, after his four hard explorations, has been explored to nearly two-thirds of the depth.
Only the last third remains, steady and solid, if not once then twice, safety first.
With steady progress, the path naturally becomes smoother, and eventually, one can successfully break through.
…
Chen Dengming got up and walked into the house.

The Mini Array Spirit was whizzing around the house like opera singing, occasionally spinning in a dance circle, appearing like a virtuous young woman who loves life, touching the flowers and the teapot on the table, persistently trying even though she was not able to make contact.
In her words, she and the Dao friend finally have a safe and stable home.
She’s very fond of such a stable environment.
Stability, indeed it is stable.
During this period, Chen Dengming has heard quite a bit about the intense battles coming from the northeastern corner.
A group of cultivator refugees even ran to the Everjoy District at the foot of the mountain.
Some people who couldn’t afford to rent stayed in the wild mountains, where battles often happened, and cultivators frequently died tragically.
The situation was pretty chaotic.
However, within the Changchun Sect, it was always tranquil.
No one dared to wreak havoc at the gate of the Changchun Sect, let alone in the sect.
Living in the Changchun Sect was like a haven in chaotic times, a feeling that Chen Dengming had never experienced anywhere else.
“Daoist, are you going out?”
Seeing Chen Dengming comb his hair, the Mini Array Spirit floated over, her beautiful eyes flashing with curiosity and a bit of other emotions.
Chen Dengming nodded, glancing at the Mini Array Spirit, “What is it?
What’s the matter?”
The Mini Array Spirit hesitated, “Daoist, the medicine…
the soup that nourished me last time…
I…
I want some more…”
“You still want some?
Can you take it?”
Chen Dengming looked at the Array Spirit with surprise, her spiritual body was as beautiful as ever.
But after seeing it many times, it didn’t seem rare or peculiar anymore.
Moreover, he didn’t notice any signs of her body continuing to grow.
