After reaching the seven stars, Dou disciple,
Shen Yi stopped practicing and released all the stacked force in his physique out; he felt his body reached the limit because of the age barrier.
'Here comes the age limit. I knew at some point the dou qi and strength increase would start affecting my physique negatively; I didn't expect it to be so soon. Anyway, I am just a twenty-day-old baby right now. This limit will increase each passing day.'
He thought to himself, feeling the dull pain in his meridians and dantian; even his blood, bones, and other body parts started feeling a little stiff because of the strength increase limit.
He closed his eyes and fell into deep sleep; as day passed, his age limit disappeared, and then he started his practice once again like a maniac.
Soon thirteen days passed; the Shen family has been staying in the cave for almost a month.
In the past month, Shen Han visited the city market and brought supplies in bulk every three or four days.
A week ago he found out that the young master Mo left their house, leaving behind two lackeys, and returned to the Yan city.
"Can you hire someone, like an assassin or those mercenaries, and let them chase those guys away from our house? Then we will sell that house and leave this city."
Shen Yue asked while suggesting a few ways they can use to get their house back; Shen Han shook his head and replied,
"I can't do that; I have already spent almost all my savings on that house purchase. Now I have just a few thousand gold coins remaining that are not enough to hire someone, and also no mercenary will be willing to offend the behemoth-like Mo clan for a few thousand gold."
Shen Yue was startled and then fell silent hearing her husband's words.
'Well, if there are only two lackeys in that house, then I can deal with them… I have already reached the ninth star peak of the Dou disciple realm. Next I just have to condense my dou qi into a cyclone and break through the dou practitioner realm.'
Shen Yi thought to himself as he glanced at the helpless and despair-filled expression of his parents silently.
Soon the day passed as usual, and darkness shrouded the sky.
Meanwhile, a baby sleeping between both his parents opened his dark pupil that flickered with the dim light of the candle inside the cave.
'It's time to break through and then deal with the trouble.'
Shen Yi thought to himself, and then he crawled toward his father and raised his finger, poked the backside of his neck, and released the force inside his skull.
The next moment, the father fell into deep sleep, and then he made his mother unconscious also using the same method.
'Now they won't notice any disturbance in the cave; they won't wake up before sunrise.'
He observed his parents' peaceful expression, then he stood up on the bed and jumped down on the ground and sat cross-legged, although a one-month-old baby sitting cross-legged looks extremely bizarre, but he didn't care.
'According to the description in the novel, I have to gather up all the dou qi from meridians and physique and condense it into a qi cyclone in my dantian.'
Shen Yi thought, and following the description, he started controlling the qi and gathering it toward the dantian, which is a small empty void-like space.
Force technique! Force compression!
He even started his force technique and started affecting his qi in the dantian, compressing it more and more.
At the same time, as if the surrounding energy sensed something and started flowing toward him at an alarming rate, a strange windy sound spread through the whole cave mixed with the rustling clothes noise on his body.
Soon a small white spot appeared in his dantian. As more and more dou qi was added, it started taking the shape of a tiny rotating cyclone.
After a while the cyclone was completely stabilized, and all the dou qi energy was compressed in its base.
Burst!!!
The next moment, with a burst, a dou qi pulse spread out from the edge of the cyclone, collided with the dantian, and then passed through all his meridians, veins, bones, and muscles, and then scattered out through his pores, enriching and enhancing his whole physique and widening his meridians and dantian.
Pop!!!
A popping sound spread from his whole physique, and the walls around shook a little; dust particles scattered through the whole cave, while the cyclone released more and more dou qi pulses in his dantian and meridian, toughening and widening them.
After nine pulses the tiny vortex stabilized and started scattering and recovering the dou qi through his whole body and then compressing it toward its base using the rotation, then releasing it once again like an automatic cycle.
'flood-like surge of energy, no longer thin and dispersed but heavy and vigorous, flowing through his limbs like molten steel,' as described in the novel. I have finally reached the first star dou practitioner realm.'
Shen Yi thought to himself as he observed the cyclone in his dantian, which is a tiny vortex rotating at constant speed and scattering, recovering, and condensing the dou qi in his body.
'It is also purifying the dou qi; slowly my whole body's toxins will be removed, although the washing marrow process isn't instant as compared to immortal civilization practice, but every civilization has its own merit, as all Dao leads to the same path.'
Shen Yi thought to himself while observing his meridians and other internal organs,
'Now I can see internally, although my spiritual realm has not reached the top state, but I have reached the middle stage of the mortal State. Before I could only sense energies in the surroundings, now I can even sense people and animals at short distances.'
He thought and then retracted his internal vision, then he glanced at the direction of stones covering the exit of the cave, and a cold look flashed on his chubby face.
'It's time to deal with that trouble.'
