Cultivation Online novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92 - Breakthrough?

After logging off Cultivation Online, Yuan immediately began trying to move his real body, hoping that the Vermilion Phoenix Blood had cured his illness and healed his crippled body.

But alas, he quickly realized that nothing had changed when he still couldn’t move his limbs or see the world around him.

However, he was not discouraged, and he began reciting the cultivation technique inside his head, silently praying that it would work.

’Even if my body is still crippled, as long as I can cultivate...!’

With that thought in mind, Yuan proceeded to spend many minutes cultivating.

"..."

"..."

"...Ouch!"

The pain returned after a few moments of cultivation, but Yuan did not give up and tried again.

"...Ouch!"

And again.

"..."

"...Ouch!"

And again.

"...Ouch!"

"Why?! Why hasn’t anything changed?! My body is still useless and I cannot cultivate! Why didn’t the Vermilion Phoenix Blood work like the Translucent Dew of Flawlessness?! Damn it!" Yuan gritted his teeth in frustration and cried out in a low but deeply sorrowful voice after realizing that he was still crippled and useless, feeling as though his hopes had shattered.

However, right as tears flowed from his eyes, Yuan suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart, almost as though there was a small flame within his heart.

This warm feeling gradually grew hotter and hotter, and it also began spreading throughout his body shortly later.

A few minutes later, Yuan could feel his entire body burning feverishly, almost like he was inside an oven with its temperature turned up.

However, this burning sensation did not feel painful, nor was it unpleasant.

’This is... Is this the effects of the Vermilion Phoenix Blood?’ Yuan wondered to himself, feeling as though his body was engulfed in flames just like a burning phoenix.

Although Yuan did not know this at the time, his damaged meridians were actually being restored by the Vermilion Phoenix Blood, hence the burning sensation all over his body.

After sweating a bucket of sweat, the burning sensation in Yuan’s body began to subdue, yet the gentle flame within his heart lingered no matter how long had passed, almost like an undying flame.

Once everything calmed down, Yuan took a moment to clear his mind and began reciting the cultivation technique again.

This time, Yuan could instantly recognize the difference, and the difference was as clear as day and night— like breathing with a blocked nose and breathing normally.

Furthermore, although there was still slight pain while he cultivates, it wasn’t as painful as before and it was completely endurable even for long periods at a time.

And many minutes later, Yuan suddenly felt a refreshing feeling spread throughout his body starting from the center of his body until it reached the end of his limbs, making him recall the first time he’d become a Cultivator.

’This feeling... Did I become a Cultivator?’ Yuan wondered to himself as he was unsure. Without the system telling him, he had no proof or confirmation that he had successfully become a Cultivator just now.

However, one thing he was certain would be his condition— even if he’d somehow managed to become a Cultivator in the real world, his body still remained crippled. With that being said, it was not as though nothing about his body had changed.

Although it was only slightly, his body had regained some sense of feeling, allowing him to feel the wet blanket and his own sweat when he previously wouldn’t have been able to feel a thing except for the weight of the blankets.

"It worked! Hahaha! It really worked!" Yuan began laughing out loud at his success.

"What worked?" Yu Rou suddenly returned to the room with breakfast.

"Oh... Nothing..." Yuan said. He was simply not ready to tell her just yet.

’Just wait a little longer, Yu Rou... Once I can finally start moving again...’ A mysterious smile appeared on Yuan’s face.

"Ah! Brother Tian! Why is your body soaked in sweat?!" Yu Rou immediately realized the wet blankets and exclaimed.

’Ahhh... How long has it been since I last felt such sensations on my body?’ Yuan sighed inwardly, feeling like he was on cloud nine. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

’Ah! That’s right! Feeling the spiritual energy in the air! How could I forget such a basic thing!’ Yuan sighed inwardly. His excitement from cultivating successfully had messed with his ability to think properly.

After asking Xiao Hua a few more basic questions about Cultivators, Yuan sat on Feng Yuxiang’s bed and cultivated while they waited for her to return.

A little over two hours later, Feng Yuxiang returned to the room with her body slightly glistening from sweat.

"I am sorry for making you wait so long for me, Young Master. I ran into some problems, but I have finally closed the store." Feng Yuxiang said to him.

If not for some reluctant people begging her to stay in Phoenix City, she would’ve completed her errands much quicker. Though, as one of the top figures and the owner of one of the most famous stores in Phoenix City, it was only a given that her sudden departure would shock a lot of people in the city, especially the powerful families and individuals.

"Don’t mind it." Yuan said, and then he continued, "By the way, I have another question regarding your Vermilion Phoenix Blood. Does it have any effects besides healing injuries, increasing longevity, and awakening Bloodlines?"

"Hmm... Another effect, huh?" Feng Yuxiang immediately closed her eyes to ponder.

After thinking for a good minute, she suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Oh. That’s right. My blood can also heal one’s meridians."

’Restore meridians? Xiao Hua did mention something like that before. Perhaps that was the reason for my frustration. Now that her blood has restored my meridians, I can finally cultivate!’

After pondering for a moment, Yuan turned to look at Feng Yuxiang before approaching her with a wide smile on his face.

"Thank you, Feng Feng! Although you may not realize it, you have saved my life with your blood! In return, no matter how much blood you want from me or when you want it, I will gladly give it to you!" Yuan suddenly opened his arms and hugged Feng Yuxiang’s slender body tightly, his voice filled with joy.

"Y-Young Master?!" Feng Yuxiang panicked when Yuan suddenly embraced her, as she could immediately feel Xiao Hua glaring daggers at them. However, she also didn’t dare to push Yuan away, as that could be regarded as being disrespectful! Furthermore, she has already told Yuan that he could do whatever he wanted to his body, and pushing him away would contradict her promise!

Sometime later, once Yuan expressed all of his excitement through the embrace, he released Feng Yuxiang, who appeared to be sweating even more than a minute ago.

"Anyways, are you ready to come with us?" Yuan asked Feng Yuxiang afterward.

Feng Yuxiang nodded and said, "No matter where the Young Master goes, this one shall follow."

A second later, Feng Yuxiang’s body suddenly became engulfed in beautiful golden flames until her body could no longer be seen, and her figure began shrinking until it was a small ball of golden flames.

While Yuan was dumbfounded, Feng Yuxiang—now a ball of golden flames— flew directly at Yuan’s chest where his heart was located, disappearing from the room and into his chest, and Yuan could feel a warm sensation in his heart afterward, almost like his heart was also engulfed in flames.

’This sensation...’ The warm and pleasant feeling in his heart was very familiar, and it quickly reminded him of a similar feeling that could be felt in his real body.
