Chapter 5326: Too Much Is Too Little
David was about to intervene when Mo Chen approached, leaning on a cane. He glanced at Ling Xue, then at David, a knowing smile flashing across his eyes. Touching his beard, he said, “It’s good for young people to be energetic, but everything should be done in moderation. Too much is as bad as too little.”
Even though he didn’t say it explicitly, the meaning in his eyes was clear.
Ling Xue heard everything, her neck turning red with embarrassment. She lowered her head and hurried back to her room, not even daring to look back.
It was all David’s fault for not being gentle with women. He had been training non-stop for a whole year, and his skin was swollen, making Ling Xue walk awkwardly.
David rubbed his nose awkwardly, but Mo Chen stepped forward, looked at David, and upon sensing the powerful Earthly Immortal spiritual energy radiating from him, a look of shock appeared on his old face. “You… you’ve actually broken through to the Earthly Immortal Realm?”
David had only been in the Scattered Immortal Realm for a few months, and such a rapid cultivation rate was unprecedented!
David smiled and nodded. “Thanks to my little sister practicing dual cultivation with me, I’ve made some progress.”
Mo Chen nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with relief. “Great! Great! Our Sword Sect finally has a capable leader!”
He turned to Hu Mazi, sensing the unfathomable aura radiating from him, and his eyes widened in shock. “Mr. Hu… what’s wrong?”
“It’s just a return to the ninth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm. It’s not worth mentioning.”
Hu Mazi waved his hand in a feigned calm, but his slightly raised chin showed his pride.
Mo Chen was shocked. It had only been three days since they last met, and not only had David broken through to the Earthly Immortal Realm, but Hu Mazi had also returned to the ninth level. This Demon Suppressing Tower was truly extraordinary!
“You’ve just broken through, so you need time to consolidate. Holy Sword City has been much quieter these past few days, so please stay here!”
Mo Chen said to David and Hu Mazi.
He was worried that David and Hu Mazi, who had just broken through, would cause trouble for the Evil Dao Palace!
After all, recent breakthroughs require consolidation.
“Thank you, Master, for the reminder. I understand!” David nodded.
Over the next few days, David, Lingxue, and Hu Mazi worked tirelessly to consolidate their current cultivation.
Although Lingxue had reached the seventh level of the Earthly Immortal Realm since emerging from the Demon Suppressing Tower, David felt a hint of frivolity in her spiritual energy.
In the tower, in an attempt to speed up their progress, the two of them had mixed their spiritual energies too quickly during their dual cultivation. David repeatedly injected his own vital energy into Lingxue, causing her to break through the realm barrier but also putting significant pressure on her meridians.
That morning, David had someone clear the area east of the martial arts arena and instructed his disciples to bring dozens of “Drowning Water Jades,” which had been infused with pure spiritual energy from the earth. They arranged them in a seven-star orientation to form a simple spiritual gathering formation.
“Lingxue, come here and try it.”
David patted the jade table beside him. The water-drenched jade shone with a warm glow in the morning light, and faint spiritual energy flowed through the cracks in the stone.
Ling Xue approached, sword in hand. A glimmer of curiosity flashed across her eyes as she saw the jade formation. “Brother, what is this…”
“The Sinking Jade Spirit Gathering Formation is perfect for warming and nourishing the meridians.”
David motioned for Ling Xue to sit cross-legged on the jade platform in the center of the formation. “You’ve just broken through, and your spiritual power, while strong, is not yet stable. Today, we’ll use the simplest method: gradually infusing it into your meridians.”
Ling Xue followed his instructions and sat down. As she began practicing her technique, she felt the Sinking Jade Stone around her suddenly glow with a faint, ochre-colored light. A gentle yet rich spiritual energy surged from all directions, enveloping her limbs like a warm spring.
“Concentrate your mind and calm your soul. Follow my guidance.” David also sat cross-legged in front of him, his palms raised in front of him.
The air, facing his dantian. The spiritual energy from the Earth Immortal Realm flowed slowly into his body like tiny drops, flowing gently along his meridians.
