Chapter 668 - 204: [As If It Never Happened] (6900)_3
·
Dinner was prepared by Lu Sisi, who had now learned to cook some simple home-cooked dishes.
Especially to welcome the house’s adorable cat, Lu Sisi even specially pan-fried a piece of cod—regrettably, Big White just sniffed it before turning away and running off.
It left Lu Sisi a bit disappointed.
Chen Yan threw the pile of animal organs that Gui Geng bought into the home freezer, taking out a portion, about three to five pounds, to serve as Big White’s dinner.
After tasting a bit, Big White seemed to show great interest in the foie gras, and after a few bites, refused to eat anything else.
"You can’t be picky." Chen Yan gently rubbed Big White’s head and said in a low voice, "We still have to endure hardships on the battlefield together in the future.
If you like foie gras, I’ll buy more in the future.
But for this batch of food, you have to finish it all—we can be indulgent, but we can’t waste."
Big White grumbled a few sounds, and after eating, nudged Chen Yan with its nose and then jumped away.
It seemed to hold a slight grudge against Chen Yan.
That night, naturally, Chen Yan slept with his girlfriend—after being away for so long, the reunion was like a second honeymoon.
Meanwhile, Big White slipped out of the villa at night, wandered around the garden, and finally lay down at the southwest corner near the windowsill of the courtyard.
This spot was the eye of the entire Spirit Gathering Array, the area in the courtyard with the richest Primordial Qi.
This position originally belonged to the old turtle at night.
But on this night, Gui Geng could only begrudgingly curl up in a corner of the swimming pool, not daring to poke out his head, just watching longingly at the spot where he usually lay to bask in the moonlight, now occupied by the new little white cat.

Early the next morning, after Chen Yan and Lu Sisi washed up, Chen Yan took Lu Sisi straight downstairs to the training room.
Soon, he placed the [Spirit Communication Pill] in front of Lu Sisi.
A few minutes later...
"Is this for me to take?" Lu Sisi asked, somewhat puzzled, as she looked at the small dark green elixir in her palm—it wasn’t very big, like a piece of candy.
But Lu Sisi could feel a strong medicinal aura emanating from it that she couldn’t quite identify.
"Yes, it’s specifically for you." Chen Yan nodded and then explained, "This elixir can help you enhance your affinity for Primordial Qi.
You’ve been practicing for a few months without sensing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi because your body lacks affinity for it. After taking this [Spirit Communication Pill], within thirty-six hours, which is about three days, your body’s affinity with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and your meridians’ capacity to assimilate Qi will be significantly heightened!"
"So, can I start cultivating? Can I channel Primordial Qi?"
"Yes, theoretically, it’s temporary. Within those three days, your body’s affinity with Primordial Qi will be elevated by the pill’s effects. During this time, you will be able to sense the presence of Primordial Qi and can channel it into your body using the Cultivation Technique I taught you.
Simply put, within those three days, you’ll be roughly equivalent to a cultivator, capable of sensing and absorbing Primordial Qi like any ordinary cultivator."
"After three days, will I revert back to how I was?" Lu Sisi asked.
"Well...not exactly," Chen Yan thought for a moment before saying, "In those three days, as you absorb Primordial Qi into your body, it will gradually improve your physique and meridians. This process essentially enhances your inherent affinity for Qi—different from the pill’s temporary boost.
With Primordial Qi entering your body, it nourishes the physical body. Through this nurturing process, your physique will naturally be transformed by the Qi into a state suitable for cultivation, adapted for Qi."
Chen Yan wasn’t lying to Lu Sisi, the principle behind the Spirit Communication Pill was just that.
Moreover, usually, even in the Domain Realm, a person without innate cultivation talent would have their body transformed within three days’ time of absorbing Qi, just enough to allow the cultivator to step onto the path and officially begin cultivation.
Lu Sisi had complete trust in Chen Yan, and upon hearing this, she picked up the Spirit Communication Pill and, under Chen Yan’s watchful gaze, put it into her mouth.
The taste was a mouthful of bitterness, but the fragrance of the medicine was overwhelming.
Lu Sisi frowned slightly, slowly swallowing the Spirit Communication Pill.
Chen Yan’s eyes widened, watching Lu Sisi closely, as if afraid to miss even the slightest change in her.
Lu Sisi sensed that once the elixir reached her stomach, a warmth spread from her chest and abdomen.
At first, it was just a thread, but soon, as time passed, this warmth quickly transformed into streams of warm currents.
A minute later, she felt as if there was a "boom" inside her head!
Then, Lu Sisi felt a change within herself!
She felt her body—every limb, every bone, all of her blood vessels, each muscle fiber, every cell, was vibrating and pulsing!
To put it in a mystical and emotional way, Lu Sisi felt as if her body had somehow...
Awakened!
·
In her line of sight, under her vision, Lu Sisi seemed to be able to see the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi scattered in the air, strand by strand, stream by stream, thread by thread, cluster by cluster, flowing and circulating in this irregular direction and speed, freely moving...
She could feel her body like a small vortex; in the surrounding air, the omnipresent Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi seemed to be approaching her, getting closer to her, seemingly rejoicing, as if trying to enter into her body—this phase, it seemed, only required her to actively guide them.
