19 Clouds End city. (2/2)
”Alright Jinwu, I will be cultivating for a little while, so you are on your own. They will deliver some food twice a day, so if you get hungry, you can eat that.”
Li Yang entered the room that he had rented and sat down with his legs crossed on the bed. The room was quite small, only containing a bed, a table, and two chairs, as well as a door that lead to a small bathroom. He had ordered them to deliver food twice a day, so he was not worried about Jinwu going hungry.
He also didn't own anything worth stealing, so he was not worried about anyone robbing him. Of course, the moment someone that held even the slightest ill intent entered the room, he would notice and wake up.
After he reminded Jinwu, he closed his eyes and immersed himself in his cultivation. The reason he chose to cultivate now was because there was something that he wanted to ascertain.
He closed his eyes and let his mind sink into his memories of his past life, especially his experiences with fire, ice, lightning, and true destruction. In his past life, he had focused on lightning and true destruction, but that did not mean that he had never deal with fire and ice before.
After all, his wife had comprehended true creation, the act of creating everything. Through her, he had learned quite a bit about the fire and ice elements. Using these memories, he first started focusing on the ice element, allowing his understanding of it to flow through his mind.
This continued for a few days, with his understanding of the ice element getting clearer and clearer as he delved deeper and deeper into the memories. When he had gone through a certain amount of his memories, a stream of icy cold energy suddenly coursed through his body, filling him with a prickling pain.
The stream of icy energy made his body rapidly cool down until it resembled a statue made out of ice. The icy energy traveled into his dantian, winding around itself and solidifying, turning into a rune that looked like it was carved from a crystal.
Li Yang did not stop after forming the ice rune, delving deeper into his memories and his past understanding of the elements. He continued delving into his memories for almost an entire month. Only when he realized that he could only stay in this room for another day or two did he stop his cultivation.
Had it not been for the fact that his current body was too weak, he could easily close his eyes and cultivate for several months, even years, at a time, completely losing track of time. But his current body was still too weak, it needed frequent food and water to survive. Spending almost an entire month in cultivation was already straining it.
The first thing Li Yang did after stopping his cultivation was to eat some food and drink some water. The inn had just brought some food and water into the room, so he was certain that it was fresh. While he was eating, Jinwu hopped onto his shoulder and looked at him with a questioning gaze, wondering why he bothered spending an entire month cultivating.
”I needed to ascertain something. I wanted to know if I could use my past life's understanding of the laws to increase my current cultivation.”
Li Yang opened his mouth after swallowing some bread, explaining what he had been doing to Jinwu. Jinwu was his companion Demonic beast, so he had already told Jinwu everything about himself.
”While I can use my past life's understanding about the laws to increase my cultivation, I cannot engrave new runes without first increasing the amount of space inside my dantian. Once I manage to increase the amount of space inside my dantian, I can engrave a new rune immediately.”
Li Yang had been pleasantly surprised by the results. As long as he absorbed enough Qi and increased the amount of space inside his dantian, he could engrave new runes immediately. Of course, the amount of energy it took him to increase the space inside his dantian was also quite ridiculous. He had four different runes after all.
After he and Jinwu finished eating, Li Yang got up and left the inn. He could only stay inside the inn for another day or two, so it was about time that he earned some more money, as well as checked if he could find some information about Fang Ying. And there was one place that would let him do all that, Royal Dragon Pavilion.
