"I can't rush the cultivation of fighting spirit, but there are some things that can be rushed."
Xiao Feng sat cross-legged, calmed his mind, and began his unique practice.
"The ultimate of the soul…close the sky and guard the soul…absorb the spirit and forge the soul…"
Intermittent whispers murmured. Although the area was wide open, it echoed without any sign of fading, over and over again.
Like the water surface when knocking on the edge of a basin, the space is gradually filled with waves invisible to the naked eye, interweaving and overlapping in rhythm.
Xiao Feng repeated it tirelessly.
Consciousness is like fluff that falls from the sky onto the water's surface; the indescribable warmth and coolness slowly seep in and fill the gaps.
The fatigue of the soul in silence disappears and gradually grows.
Ancient Soul technique!
Xiao Feng exchanged it with a large number of points he had saved in past half a year. Compared to relying on the system which requires massive amounts of points, he felt it would be more cost effective to cultivate himself.
This technique can not only promote soul practice but also sense the most magical energy between heaven and earth - Spiritual Power.
Spiritual Power can strengthen the soul and endow spirituality.
Ever since the lineage of ancient alchemists was cut off, only the most elite people have access to spiritual Power, and its usage is limited to nourishing souls and refining medicine.
But with this technique, he can also use Spiritual Power to attack and perform soul secrets.
"Boo"
Like it was soaked in water.
His consciousness began to sink from the water's surface. Xiao Feng only felt that there was a light in the darkness. Things like crystal dust were floating around him, exuding spiritual light and leaving traces.
Agile and silent.
"Spiritual Power…"
As soon as these thin energies hidden deep in space appeared, Xiao Feng's soul began to glow as if in resonance.
"What a pity, it's out of reach."
The soul power is still too weak.
Let alone trying to gather and absorb it, even extending the mind to touch it is a huge task.
Sometimes individual crystal dust would float over and sink into his soul, but apart from a brief spiritual sublimation, it would have no other effect.
The spiritual power would directly penetrate through and continue to move forward along its own trajectory.
If he wants to actively absorb spiritual power, his soul must enter the Spiritual realm.
"Although I can't absorb it, the benefits I get are enough."
With the help of this Ancient Soul technique, his soul power began to soar even without using a strengthening system.
In recent days, Xiao Feng felt he had reached a limit.
The next step would be to consider breaking through late stage Mortal grade.
But this is not entirely a good thing; the gap between the soul and the body is too big.
Xiao Feng is always energetic and bored all day long. Even if his body is exhausted, he doesn't spend much energy on it, and insomnia is a common occurrence.
"Next, it's time to take the next step."
The outward vision turned inward, and the body slowly emerged in this space. Every inch of skin and every inch of bone became gradually became visible in his mind.
The soul, superimposed on the physical image, begins to move.
The fighting spirit accumulated in the body surges along with the blood and resonates with the breathing.
Then, under extremely precise control, imperceptible threads were drawn out, which, under independent control, penetrated into the bones, passed through the meridians, soaked the flesh and blood, and wandered through the fur.
It seems like it can penetrate everywhere and leave every corner.
If someone were watching from the outside, they would find that the Dou Qi in his body was steadily disappearing during its operation.
Yes, disappeared out of thin air.
Just like pond water seeping into mud and sand, ordinary people have no way of noticing that all the fighting spirit has been twisted into hard-to-detect threads by the power of the soul and melted into the body.
"Hula--"
As it penetrated further, Xiao Feng's body began to emit mist and the Dou Qi that had penetrated into his body.
In the process of cultivation, the Chaos Body Refining Art operated, and the energy was completely refined into his blood instead of disappearing naturally.
Xiao Feng's hair was slightly floating due to the influx of Dou Qi: "Filling."
The body's capacity has reached saturation, and the fighting spirit that was about to run out will recover until it is full again, and then it will be stable for a long time.
The constantly recovering fighting spirit and the evaporation from the body surface reach a balance.
Xiao Feng slowly opened his eyes as the mist around him gradually dissipated. His body felt light and powerful, his Dou Qi circulating perfectly within him. He took a deep breath, stood up, and stretched, feeling his muscles tighten and relax with newfound strength.
"It's almost time to put that matter on the agenda..."

Later in the day, Xiao Feng found Xiao Xun'er waiting for him near the clan's training grounds.
She leaned against a tree, a faint smile on her face, her aqua-blue eyes shimmering with warmth.
"Brother Xiao Feng, you're finally done cultivating. Shall we go out?" Xun'er asked, her tone gentle but with a hint of expectation.
"Go out? Where?" Xiao Feng looked at her curiously.
"The market, of course! You've been cooped up all day. It's good to take a break," She replied with a soft laugh.
"Alright, alright. Let's go," Xiao Feng said with a grin, ruffling her hair.
Xun'er playfully swatted his hand away, her smile widening.
The market was bustling with activity. Stalls lined the streets, selling everything from exotic herbs and rare beast cores to weapons and fine fabrics.
The air was filled with the scent of freshly cooked food and the chatter of merchants calling out their wares.
When the two walked into the market, they naturally attracted the attention of the people.
Chaos Body Refining Art didn't just strengthen him. It also made him perfect in all aspects. So Xiao Feng's face could be said to be one of the best on the continent.
Well... With his six year old appearance. It should be said to be the cutest on the continent.
Xun'er will also be a top beauty in the future. Her childhood self was naturally very cute.
So attracting attention was very normal for them.
Xiao Feng avoided the crowd and took her through the streets and wandered around.
In a small store, he noticed Xun'er looking at a small green bracelet.
There was nothing special about it, but since Xun'er looked at it, Xiao Feng didn't mind buying it.
"How much does it cost, shopkeeper?"
"10 copper coins, young master."
The shopkeeper was a talented man. When he saw Xiao Feng bringing Xun'er. He knew this pair was a couple. So he flattered them.
"Then we'll take it," Xiao Feng said decisively, giving ten copper coins.
After they left the shop, Xiao Feng gave Xun'er the green Jade bracelet.
"Hm! As I thought, it looks beautiful in Xun'er."
Xiao Feng nodded with satisfaction when Xun'er wore the bracelet.
"Really-"
"Really!"
Xun'er smiled, in a very happy mood.
She had many things whose value was countless times higher than this bracelet. But it was given by Xiao Feng. So she cherished it.
After browsing for a while, Xun'er tugged on Xiao Feng's sleeve and pointed to a stall selling candied fruits.
"Brother Xiao Feng, let's try those!" she said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm. "Alright, let's get some."
The vendor handed them two skewers of brightly colored candied fruits, the syrup glistening in the sunlight. Xun'er bit into hers with delight, her expression softening as the sweet and tangy flavors burst into her mouth.
"You have a sweet tooth, don't you?" Xiao Feng teased as he took a bite of his skewer.
"Maybe," Xun'er replied with a playful grin. "But Brother Xiao Feng likes it too, obviously."
"Yeah, yeah, I know," Xiao Feng nodded, coaxing the little girl.
As they walked through the market, they ran into Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning.
"Brother Feng! Sister Xun'er!" Xiao Mei called out, waving excitedly.
"What are you two doing here?" Xiao Ning asked, his curious gaze shifting between them.
"Just shopping," Xiao Feng replied casually. "What about you?"
"We came to buy some herbs for practice." Xiao Mei explained. "But it's so crowded today!"
"Then why don't we all shop together?" Xiao Ning suggested with a smile.
Xun'er, on the side, pouted.
She didn't expect her alone time to be interrupted.
"Great idea!" Xiao Mei beamed.
"Let's forget it today, I am shopping with Xun'er. So I will just stay with her for now."
"Oh, okay!" Xiao Mei's eyes dimmed a little, but then she cheered up.
Xiao Xun'er's face also blossomed with a lively smile.
Xiao Feng's action of caring for her made her happy.
Two people wandered the market together, sharing laughs and stories as they explored.
By the time they returned to the Xiao Clan, the sun was setting, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink.
"Thanks for today, Brother Xiao Feng," Xun'er said softly as they walked back.
"It's okay," Xiao Feng replied with a smile and rubbed her head. "I am happy to accompany Xun'er."
Maybe it's due to the difference in their mental age but after half a year, he has almost become an Elder like figure for all the kids in Xiao Family and his mentality has also gradually changed to that of a old man from a tired middle aged man.
Xun'er nodded, her aqua-blue eyes reflecting the fading sunlight.
For a moment, she looked as if she wanted to say something more, but instead, she simply smiled and walked ahead, her figure bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun.

Xiao Feng leisurely put down the book which read '100 Daos of Formation', in his hand as he glanced at the virtual interface in front of him.
It's been almost a year since he arrived in this world.
From initial excitement and fear to later boredom to the current calm and unhurried self. His mental journey has been quite wonderful and he has grown a lot.
Now, he has cultivated the first layer of Chaos Devouring Art and Chaos Body Tempering Art to perfection and learned various skills over the year with the help of the system.
Alchemy, Formations, Swordsmanship, Mechanical Engineering, Artifiact Refining, Painting...
Since the system possessed all the techniques that ever existed in the Dou Qi plane, Xiao Feng chose to develop into an all rounder. .
So, he bought the initial introduction of Formation, Mechanical Engineering and Artifiact Refining and learned them.
Of the various skills, the Formation system and Artifiact Refining System weren't from the Dou Qi Continent.
They were all from the Great Thousand World.
10,000 years ago before the disappearance of Dou Di, the Dou Qi Continent was connected to the Great Thousand Worlds and frequent exchanges happened between two worlds.
Therefore, various professions and Techniques were once popular on this land but they vanished due to the Ancient War.
In a sense, what he was no longer cultivating modern Dou Qi Cultivation. But a mixture of Dou Qi Techniques and Great Thousand World techniques.
Xiao Feng leaned back slightly in his chair and rubbed his temples. After a year, he believed he now has some strength to protect himself.
It was time to go out for an experience. It wasn't good to be always cooped up. Cultivation is important but experience and skills are equally important.
