Chapter 129 Cultivating an Unmatched Magic Practitioner!_2
Although absorbing the Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills took more time, requiring half an hour to absorb a single one, the progress made was quite substantial, a single Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill could enhance the cultivation progress by 5%.
And he still had 9 pills left.
In other words, as long as he absorbed all 9 remaining Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills tonight, his cultivation progress would reach 50.1%.
One must know that a few days ago, when he circulated his mental method to absorb nature's spiritual energy, it had taken nearly two days to increase by just 0.1%, but now, in just half an hour, his cultivation progress had risen by 5%.
His original plan was to spend one to two years to advance his cultivation to the second level of the Golden Core stage.
Now, it seemed it would only take two days.
By the day after tomorrow, his cultivation would have advanced to the second level of the Golden Core stage.
And that day after tomorrow was precisely the day of the Sea Clan's invasion.
"Just in time,"
Chen Qiu turned his head to look at the Seven-Colored Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella placed beside the bed and murmured.
It was a good opportunity to kill a large number of demon beasts that had gathered over the Boundless Sea to the east of Da Xia, which would expand his Dantian a bit, allowing him to accommodate more Spiritual Energy, and under the "Spiritual Energy Intimidating" entry effect, the power of his spells would also be greater.
Everything was just right.
Perfect.
After saying this,
He did not dwell on it any longer, but picked up another Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill to swallow, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to absorb its medicinal energy by circulating his mental method.
While the Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills were excellent, the time it took to absorb one pill was indeed not short; it took half an hour to absorb a single pill, making it five hours in total for ten pills.
After absorbing the ten pills, it would be almost dawn.
Another night of intensive training began anew.
His strength was still too weak; facing a sixth level Golden Core, he would need to resort to a Self-Destruction Term. As long as his cultivation rose rapidly enough, even facing a sixth level Golden Core would become manageable, and besides, the "Self-Destruction Term" could not unleash the full force of a strike from a Nascent Soul under the restrictions of Heavenly Dao.
The maximum was a full-force strike from a half-step Nascent Soul.
While Chen Qiu was diligently cultivating,
The scholar in the next room was swallowing the last few Foundation Establishment Cultivation Pills and continued his practice.
...
Inside a small world,
In the disciple dormitory,
A middle-aged man, with forehead covered in fine sweat, was fully focused on cracking the three Storage Rings infused with the aura of the Golden Core, which Chen Qiu had entrusted to him before nightfall.
He had followed Chen Qiu out of Kai Mountain City and was now staying in this small world, peacefully cracking Storage Rings for Chen Qiu.
He had not expected Chen Qiu to possess such a Spiritual Treasure of heaven and earth as the small world.
But that was of no consequence now.
He only liked one thing in his life, solving puzzles and cracking seals. He didn't care much about anything else. Since Chen Qiu had agreed to provide him with an endless supply of Storage Rings to crack to his heart's desire, he didn't mind whether he was in the small world or Kai Mountain City.

Meanwhile—
In the Boundless Icefield, within the City Lord Mansion of Fei City, a plump man was sitting on the City Lord Chair with a dazed expression, saying: "Has the palace not yet ordered me to return to the capital?"
Thirty years ago,
Lord National Master had sent him here, saying that in the future a disaster would befall the Boundless Icefield, and he was to guard this place. Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
As expected,
The Evil Clan did indeed descend, and even though he did not play much of a role, he believed the Lord National Master valued his character rather than his strength. If someone petty and narrow-minded had been tasked with guarding Fei City, perhaps they would have ended up killed by Chen Qiu.
In that case, when the Evil Clan invaded, there would have been no one to stand up.
But...
Now that the Evil Clan's affair was over, why had there been no message from the palace? Logically speaking, his mission was accomplished, and he should be able to return to the palace.
"My lord."
At that moment—
The elder standing behind him quietly expressed his doubt, "I've heard that Lord National Master has been in seclusion these past few years and hasn't been seen around. Could it be that he's forgotten about you, my lord?"
"Impossible,"
The man shook his head: "You haven't met Lord National Master, you don't understand. He is the kind who considers every matter meticulously. Since he sent me to guard Fei City, it's impossible that he's forgotten about me."
"Everything has a reason."
"You only go to defecate when you feel the need, you wouldn't just squat by the roadside and relieve yourself without reason."
"If the palace hasn't signaled for me to return, it means Fei City still needs me. Perhaps in the near future, Fei City will face a disaster that only I can resolve."
"..."
After a long silence, the elder standing behind the man spoke in a low voice, "My lord, why do you always use the crude act of defecating as an example..."
"Crude?"
The City Lord turned around, puzzled, and glanced at the elder: "Haven't you ever defecated?"
"Moreover, those words didn't originate from me; they were spoken by Lord National Master himself. Are you implying that Lord National Master is less refined than you?"
"I wouldn't dare,"
The elder quickly looked down, a flicker of fear in his eyes: "I didn't mean that at all, my lord."
"Hmph,"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly before settling back into the City Lord Chair in a comfortable position and murmured: "Since the National Master hasn't ordered me back, it clearly means I'm still needed here."
"The National Master once told me personally,"
"I am the most crucial part of his plan."
"Not everyone has this honor. I must not act hastily and disrupt the National Master's plans."
...
At the same time, within the Hundred Countries,
Ji Taiping was sitting with a dark expression at a table, looking at the two countries that were preparing to negotiate peace again, having been sent by the palace to resolve the chaos in the Hundred Countries. But these two countries had failed in their negotiations time and again, returning to battle right after each round of talks.
