Chen Xiao then understood why his mother was so good to Li Ziqing; she wanted her to be her daughter-in-law!
Although Chen Xiao had a good impression of Li Ziqing, it was only a good impression, far from being a question of suitability.
"Alright Mom, you've just recovered from a serious illness, you should rest quickly. I'm also tired and want to rest for a while."
Chen Xiao wasn't lying to his mother about being tired. Using the Seven Star Divine Needles and Plum Blossom Branding Needles consecutively had left him exhausted.
Back in his room, Chen Xiao couldn't help but sigh that his current body was too weak.
Although he had recovered the memories of cultivating in his dreams, everything was still in the theoretical stage. To reach the heights he had in his dreams, he had to start cultivating from scratch.
As for techniques like the Seven Star Divine Needles and Plum Blossom Branding Needles, while they were considered treasures by Old Ji,
To Chen Xiao, they were just superficial skills.
And the first thing Chen Xiao wanted to cultivate was the Nine Revolutions Canglan Art!
This was the exclusive cultivation technique of the Canglan Divine Emperor. In his dreams, Chen Xiao had only cultivated to the fifth revolution and possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth.
If he could cultivate it to perfection, its power was unimaginable.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chen Xiao silently recited the incantations and slowly entered a state of cultivation.
With each breath and exhalation, the stars in the sky began to shift and move in Chen Xiao's mind.
Vast spiritual energy, like the surging waves of Canglan, rolled down from the nine heavens, eventually transforming into wisps that entered Chen Xiao's body.
These wisps of spiritual energy nourished and cleansed Chen Xiao's limbs, bones, and meridians.
Midnight.
With a cracking sound like an eggshell breaking, Chen Xiao's eyes snapped open.
The Nine Revolutions Canglan Art, the first revolution, was complete!
Chen Xiao's body felt as if it had been reborn, and he was instantly revitalized.
Both his physical strength and energy reached an unprecedented level.
Now, let alone using the two sets of needle techniques, even using them a hundred or a thousand times consecutively would not make Chen Xiao feel the slightest bit of fatigue.
With the first revolution complete, Chen Xiao decided to strike while the iron was hot and continue cultivating.
However, as he began to cultivate, he heard a loud bang.
It turned out that his flimsy little bed could not withstand the fluctuation of his internal energy and had collapsed.
Chen Xiao thought it was fortunate that no one else was in the room, otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain.
"Son, what was that noise? Is it from your room?"
His mother's worried voice came from outside the door.
Chen Xiao quickly said, "It's nothing, Mom, I just had a bad dream and fell off the bed."
"This child, he's so old yet still so restless when he sleeps..."
His mother's voice gradually faded away outside the door.
Chen Xiao felt that cultivating like this was not a solution. This time, it was just the bed collapsing, which was fine, but if he collapsed the building next time, it would be a problem.
It was better to cultivate outside!
Having made up his mind, Chen Xiao opened the window and jumped out.
Of course, he did not forget that his home was on the sixth floor. However, using the air conditioning outdoor units on the building, Chen Xiao landed safely after two leaps.
There was a small park near his home, and Chen Xiao concealed himself among the hills to cultivate.
After the first revolution, Chen Xiao's five senses had been greatly enhanced. Although he was deeply engrossed in cultivation, he could still hear and see everything that happened around him.
Just then, he heard a panting sound.
He concentrated and looked, and saw a middle-aged man running towards the small hill.
The man was clearly not out for a night run or a stroll in the park because he was severely injured, and his body was covered in bloodstains.
And about fifty meters behind him, four strong men in black were relentlessly pursuing him.
The middle-aged man paused slightly as he passed Chen Xiao, but he did not stop, continuing to run forward.
The four men in black behind him were getting closer and closer, making him dare not slacken his pace.
However, the four men in black stopped when they saw Chen Xiao.
One of them shouted at Chen Xiao, "What are you doing? This is the Wolf Gang's business, so anyone who isn't involved should get lost!"
Before Chen Xiao could speak, another bald man said, "Why waste words with him? He's just a vagrant, get rid of him!"
Chen Xiao's lips twitched, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
These people had disturbed his cultivation, and now they wanted to kill him? This was outrageous!
However, at that moment, the middle-aged man returned.
"You want to kill me, so don't hurt the innocent. Come at me if you dare!"
The bald man sneered, "Qi Tianhu, do you think you can escape? Brothers, go get him!"
The four men in black pounced on the middle-aged man like hungry wolves.
Although the middle-aged man called Qi Tianhu was not weak, and even though he was severely injured, his punches and kicks were still fierce, creating a strong wind.
The four men in black, though young and strong, did not gain any advantage for a moment.
But Chen Xiao could see that Qi Tianhu, under his severe injuries, was at the end of his rope and could not hold on for long.
The bald man also knew this clearly. He shouted loudly.
"Brothers, hold on. Qi Tianhu can't last much longer. As long as we take him down, we'll be the ones who defeated a master on the Golden Ranking. Wealth and glory will be within reach!"
Upon hearing that they would be rewarded, the other three fought even harder, and the situation instantly changed. Qi Tianhu was about to collapse.
He shouted at Chen Xiao, "Kid, run quickly, what are you still standing there for!"
At this moment, Chen Xiao finally stood up, but instead of running, he walked towards the men in black.
Seeing this, Qi Tianhu was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn it, are you looking for death! I told you to go, but you won't, so don't blame me for dragging you down when you get to the underworld!
The bald man also noticed Chen Xiao. He sneered, "Kid, if you wanted to run just now, you might have had a chance, but alas, you chose the wrong path. Heaven's way is open, but you don't take it, and hell's door... Ah!"
As the bald man was speaking, Chen Xiao had already thrown a punch at him.
The punch looked unhurried, but the bald man couldn't dodge it.
With that punch, the bald man's nose was smashed into his face, and blood splattered all over his face.
"What the hell, boss!"
"Kid, you're damn looking for death!"
Seeing this, the other three quickly abandoned Qi Tianhu temporarily and cursed as they attacked Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao's expression remained calm. His right hand shot out like an eagle's claw, grabbing one person's arm and twisting it.
With a crack, the arm broke, and white bones protruded from the elbow.
At the same time, he stomped on another person's foot.
The person screamed, and his entire foot was crushed by Chen Xiao.
Only a smear of red and white remained, and there was no longer any resemblance to a foot.
The last person was so scared that he vomited on the spot and turned to run.
"Want to leave? Did I allow it!"
A playful smile appeared on Chen Xiao's lips. He stomped his foot and kicked a stone.
With a whistling sound, the stone hit the man's back, knocking him unconscious before he could even cry out.
Qi Tianhu was stunned. He had thought this young man was just a homeless vagrant, but he didn't expect him to be a master.
Thinking about how he had just told the young man to escape, he found it incredibly amusing.
He cupped his hands towards Chen Xiao and said, "Little brother, your kindness is beyond words. If it weren't for you today, I, Qi Tianhu, would have perished here..."
Before he could finish speaking, his foot slipped, and he fell directly to the ground.
