Chapter 124: Staring Each Other Down



Elijah wanted to give it a try. He took out a corpse core from the pocket of his shorts lying on the ground and held it in his hand.

"Come, help me guide it again!" he said.

"What are you going to do?" Charlotte asked curiously.

Elijah explained about the ability of the corpse core to cultivate spirit plants and also about Bella's ability to rejuvenate spirit plants.

Only he, Bella, and Daisy knew about this matter for now.

Since Charlotte had given him such a big surprise, there was no need to keep things from her anymore.

"I see! No wonder you asked Bella to look after the spirit plants!" Charlotte said calmly.

"Aren't you surprised?" Elijah was a bit puzzled.

"Not only am I not surprised, I think Fiona might have guessed something too!" Elijah suddenly remembered what Fiona had said about monopolizing high-end industries last time. Well, this girl was probably testing him back then, wasn't she?

Without dwelling on it too much, Charlotte asked him to concentrate.

Elijah began practicing again. After running the technique for several days, he didn't absorb any energy from the corpse core.

He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

It seemed that for now, the corpse core could only be transformed through spirit plants.

Thinking about spirit plants, Elijah suddenly had another idea. Spirit plants could awaken and advance people because they contained a large amount of Chi that the human body could absorb!

When he cultivated more spirit plants in the future, could he gradually increase the Chi content in his body by eating them, reaching the fourth or fifth tier, or even higher?

But the premise was having enough spirit plants!

Elijah made a mental note to collect more in the future. Even if the exposure of spirit plants could lead to awakening, it didn't matter!

After all, while others could only eat one plant and lose it, he could use them in an infinite loop.

In this way, Bella's role became even more important!

Hmm, it seems only recruiting women was the right strategy. This way, there wouldn't be such problems!

After some wild thoughts, Elijah confirmed some future plans and then continued to practice the Hun Yuan Technique under Charlotte's guidance.

After a dozen or so cycles, his body gradually became familiar with the route and started operating without Charlotte's assistance.

Elijah was currently at the second tier. After running a dozen or so cycles, there was a slight increase in energy in his body, but it wasn't very noticeable.

It might take a long time to advance to the third tier relying solely on the Hun Yuan Technique.

Compared to zombie grass and Crystal Grass, the difference was too obvious. However, Elijah didn't mind.

Even mosquito legs were meat after all.

When the sky brightened a bit, Elijah stopped practicing, and Charlotte, who was sitting beside him, was focused on meditating.

The light from outside shone on her serene and peaceful face, making her look exceptionally pure.

However, she was wearing very cool pajamas at the moment, with no bra to hinder, revealing large areas of smooth skin, and the contours of her chest were clearly visible!

Her slender legs were crossed, and she wore only thin panties inside.

The blend of purity and temptation was perfect at this moment.

Elijah swallowed and thought about the wonderful long legs from last night, feeling a bit eager.

But seeing Charlotte concentrating on her practice, he didn't dare to disturb her.

Oh well, I'll go find Bella instead. She should be up by now, right? Elijah slid off the bed without putting on any clothes.

Yesterday's clothes were too dirty, and he didn't have any here. Besides, Bella, Daisy, and Charlotte on the second floor knew him inside out; there was no need to hide anything.

So, he held the dirty clothes in his hand and walked out of the room swaggeringly. However, as soon as he stepped out, he saw a woman wearing cool pajamas yawning and walking out of his room.

"Huh?" Elijah was stunned! How come Katherine was in his room?

Katherine, with her groggy eyes, also saw Elijah. She saw him coming out of Charlotte's room. She saw him with no clothes on. Her eyes widened instantly! The two stared at each other, neither saying a word for a moment.
