Chapter Thirty-Five: Little Dude Called Dudu

  Second update, red ticket, everyone smash some points for me, I'm going to be exploded by chrysanthemum again, estimated tonight will be exploded by chrysanthemum, the chrysanthemum is already bloody, wipe wipe wipe.

  According to the map, the Blood Sea Demon Cave was located in the Nan Yun Black Forest. After finding the direction, Xiao Chen and his group headed towards the Blood Sea Demon Cave.

  Xuehai Mogu belongs to the organization under the banner of Dà Mó Mén, but what this organization is used for, Xiao Chen and others do not know.

  At that time of Night Flow Star's life, there was no such organization, so Night Flow Star didn't know either.

  Xiao Chen's decision has a certain degree of risk, and Ye Liu Xing naturally knows this too. However, she didn't stop Xiao Chen. As Xiao Chen said, danger and opportunity coexist. Xiao Chen is a Starlight Warrior, and in this era, the tides of heaven and earth have changed, the heavenly energy is thin, and for the Starlight Warriors to burst forth with their former brilliance, the difficulties they face are unimaginable.

  If one cannot burst out with brilliance, it is better to die than to drag on in ignominy and be trampled upon by others.

  Xiao Chen deeply understood this truth, since he started late, he had to speed up halfway and catch up with others. If he didn't work hard, even if he had the great ability of Night Flowing Star, he would still become a cup of yellow soil.

  The shooting star uses its divine soul to open a path, searching for a relatively safe road, although it has to take a detour, but it wins in safety.

  Along the way, Xiao Chen and others often had to take action to kill some demon beasts. However, these demon beasts were not powerful, which made it easier for Xiao Chen and others. After killing more than a dozen demon beasts, most of them were only at the soldier level.

  However, one of the demonic beasts was a general-level beast, causing Xiao Chen and his companions to be busy and almost wiped out. They barely managed to kill it with great danger and obtained a General-level Demonic Core.

  However, the 'little pine lion' that Xiao Chen stole has been asleep since last night and still hasn't woken up. Along the way, they went through several battles, but none of them disturbed this little thing's sleep.

  If it weren't for the fact that this little guy's body was still warm, still breathing, and his body hadn't stiffened yet, Xiao Chen would have suspected that he had eaten too many Zi Yan Lian seeds and been burned to death by their Li Huo energy.

  All the way to kill, although dangerous, but also many benefits. However, killing demon beasts seems not to be part of this task, Xiao Chen and others killed more than a dozen demon beasts, and the contribution points in the "team emblem" did not change at all, Xiao Chen's "team emblem" still had 6,200 contribution points.

  "There's still over a hundred miles to go before we reach the Blood Sea Cavern." Xiao Chen said, taking out the map to confirm their route while speaking of the current distance to the Blood Sea Cavern.

  "It's already late now, why don't we observe the situation tomorrow and then go?" suggested Yue Ling.

  "Yes, after walking for a day, the Soul Devouring Beast is also tired." You Jian also said.

  "Alright, let's rest here for a night then. Everyone be careful." Xiao Chen said, having used the Night Flowing Star God Soul to survey their surroundings and finding this place relatively safe.

  Moreover, this place is already near the Blood Sea Devil's Lair, and demonic beasts have also become scarce.

  Three people nailed the Soul-Devouring Beast on a tree and then went up to the big tree to cultivate.

  A lot of things happened in these two days and one night, the three were very tired, when they reached the tree, they started practicing meditation, Yue Ling and You Jian began to swallow and refine the purple flame lotus seeds.

  "How can this little thing sleep so well?" Xiao Chen climbed up the tree and looked at the little guy in his arms, who was still asleep, making a 'humming' sound, blowing bubbles with his nose, sleeping extremely sweetly.

  "Whatever." Xiao Chen had originally planned to establish some 'emotional foundation' with this little guy, but the little guy remained unconscious, so Xiao Chen went off to cultivate instead.

  As soon as he made up his mind, the Purple Flame Lotus flew out of the storage ring.

  In the palm of his hand, the Zi Yan Lian Zi was jumping with a faint purple divine light, looking very beautiful. Xiao Chen picked it up and put it in his mouth, urging his true energy to start refining it.

  This purple flame lotus seed is not like a dan medicine, it won't be digested by the five organs, only with true energy constantly grinding and tempering, extracting its energy.

  "Gurgling..." sounds came out of Xiao Chen's mouth, this was the true energy in Xiao Chen's mouth stirring that purple lotus seed, extracting its energy and removing impurities.

  Xiao Chen's method was taught by Ye Liu Xing and is called 'Tao Zhen Shu', which means to distinguish the true from the false.

  Others use the method of directly ingesting into the abdomen, and then using true energy to grind, refine, absorb energy, while also absorbing impurities, which will produce a bottleneck in cultivation.

  Xiao Chen's method won't work, all impurities will be spewed out from the mouth, and the speed of refinement is even faster than refining by swallowing into the abdomen.

  As the true energy was constantly stirred in his mouth, Xiao Chen only felt a warmth and sweetness spreading throughout his mouth, and the fire attribute energy contained within the Purple Flame Lotus was constantly being stirred out, then swallowed into his abdomen, dispersed into his four limbs and hundreds of bones, running through the meridians for a cycle, and stored in the Dan Tian.

  In this way, the purple flame lotus seed was constantly being extracted of its energy by Xiao Chen, removing impurities and shrinking in size as it rolled around. After about half a time unit, the purple flame lotus seed had been completely refined by Xiao Chen.

  "The energy required for the Stellar Body is really huge, others can advance to the next level with just one Violet Flame Lotus Seed, but I'm not enough." After refining a Violet Flame Lotus Seed, Xiao Chen felt that the true energy in his dantian was far from reaching the level of condensing the fourth vortex, and didn't even have one-sixth of it.

  "It seems that I need seven Purple Flame Lotus Seeds to advance one level, which is seven times the normal amount." Xiao Chen thought to himself, looking at the little guy in his arms who still showed no signs of waking up. He continued to cultivate.

  The stars twinkled in the sky, the bright moon was high up, everything was covered in frost and snow, and there was a deep silence between heaven and earth. But in the dark forest of Nan Yun, Xiao Chen did not calm down, one after another, the purple flame lotus seeds were constantly being refined by Xiao Chen, and the true energy in his dantian was growing stronger and stronger.

  "The seventh one is done, and after refining it, there's enough to impact the cyclone!" Xiao Chen's heart was excited, and he stuffed another purple smoke lotus seed into his mouth.

  When the seventh Purple Flame Lotus Seed was refined, the true energy in Xiao Chen's dantian had reached a critical point and he needed to condense the fourth vortex, otherwise he would be unable to control the true energy in his dantian at will and continue to absorb more true energy.

  With the experience of the previous times, this time Xiao Chen was simply a familiar road, and only heard a slight "plop" sound in the Dan Tian, the fourth vortex was formed in response.

  "With my mind concentrated, I have reached the fourth level of heaven, with a strength of 6,000 jin. My physical power is robust and my breath is long. Now, I am invincible in the Mind Concentration Mirror!" Xiao Chen's heart was filled with excitement as he thought to himself: "However, I still can't compete with the warriors of the Ling Jue Mirror. The warriors of the Ling Jue Mirror have transformed their true energy into True Yuan, making their power even more majestic and their endurance stronger, possessing a strength of 15,000 jin."

  After this night of cultivation, Xiao Chen once again entered a new realm. In terms of strength alone, Xiao Chen was already invincible in the Condensing God Realm. This was the power of the Starry Sky War Body, and its display was enough to shock the four seas.

  Generally, a warrior who reaches the Ninth Heaven of the Concentrated Spirit Mirror can only muster 5,000 jin of strength. However, Xiao Chen has already achieved 6,000 jin of strength at the Fourth Heaven of the Concentrated Spirit Mirror. If he were to reach the Ninth Heaven and bridge the gap between two major realms, challenging the Spiritual Awareness Mirror wouldn't be impossible.

  Xiao Chen refined the seven purple flame lotus seeds for nearly four hours, and now it was almost the time of Yin. Yue Ling and You Jian were both meditating, they had already refined the purple flame lotus seeds, and now Yue Ling and You Jian were both martial artists at the ninth level of the Condensing God Realm.

  If I don't die this time, after returning, I will definitely become an inner disciple.

  "Coos..." But at this moment, the little guy in Xiao Chen's arms woke up with sleepy eyes and made a "cooing" sound. At the same time, his small paws scratched Zhang Lang's palm.

  "You sleepy little thing finally woke up." Xiao Chen looked at the little guy who had woken up and couldn't help but poke his small black nose with his finger.

  "Coos..." The little thing stuck out its tiny pink tongue and licked Xiao Chen, then looked up at him with pitiful eyes.

  "Really? You want to eat again?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but shiver, this little thing's appetite was too big, having just eaten 38 Zi Yan lotus seeds yesterday and now wanting more.

  Moreover, Xiao Chen's Purple Smoke Lotus Seeds were also running low, now only forty-five remained, and he still planned to use them to charge into the Ninth Heaven of the Condensing Spirit.

  "Mmm..." The little guy was unwilling, and his voice revealed a spoiled tone.

  "Could this little guy think of me as his kin?" Xiao Chen had a speechless feeling, looking at the pitiful appearance of the little guy, and could only bear the pain to part with it, taking out a Zi Yan Lian seed to give to it.

  The little thing was caught in his hand and then started crunching away with a "crunch, crunch" sound.

  "Hey little guy, what's your name?" Xiao Chen Sheng was afraid that after the little guy finished eating, he would come to him for more, so he started chatting casually.

  "Duh...duh..." The little guy was busy eating and responded to Xiao Chen's question with a casual "duh" sound.

  "So your name is Doudou, that's good, I'll call you that from now on. And it suits you, you do look a bit chubby and always make 'doudou' sounds." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

  "Woof woof..." Just as Xiao Chen finished speaking, the puppy lifted its head and continued to stare at Xiao Chen with pleading eyes, its small paws stretched out in front of Xiao Chen.

  "Ah! You're such a foodie!" Xiao Chen exclaimed loudly.

  "Tweet, tweet, tweet..." The little guy narrowed his eyes, stuck out his pink little tongue, and his whole body started shaking, causing all the fluff on his body to stand on end, as if he was smiling triumphantly, looking very cute.

  "Alright, just one more!" Xiao Chen was speechless, but this little guy was so cute that he couldn't bear to look at its pitiful eyes, so he ended up giving Dudu another one.

  Duoduo immediately took over, closed his eyes in happiness and started eating with a crunching sound.

  So the whole night was spent in haggling between Xiao Chen and Dudu, since Dudu woke up, Xiao Chen had not been calm, Dudu was very dependent on Xiao Chen, simply taking Xiao Chen as his parents.

  Looking at the small, puffed-up creature eating the purple lotus seeds like melon seeds, Xiao Chen's gaze became increasingly strange. In his heart, he thought: "A cultivator in the Condensing God Realm can advance one level by eating just one Purple Smoke Lotus Seed. Even if Doudou is as abnormal as me and eats 40 Purple Flame Lotus Seeds, it should have at least several levels of cultivation in the Condensing God Realm, right?"

  But Xiao Chen thought that this little guy looked harmless, without any aggressive weapons on his body. His paws were round and not sharp at all, with a mouthful of small white teeth that were neatly arranged, without any sharp edges. His body was also very small, only about the size of a palm, so he definitely didn't have much strength either.

  "Find an opportunity to try out Tudu's combat power." Xiao Chen thought to himself.

  At this moment, Dudu stretched out his hand to ask Xiao Chen for the Zi Yan Lianzi again...
