Chapter 250 Chapter 250 – Unexpectedly, Unexpected Harvest

'But I'm not a normal fourth-stage cultivator. My body is built differently.'

With this thought, Ken threw one stone into his cauldron, trying to see its effects on other materials. To his dismay, the ingredients were overwhelmed by the Immortal Qi and withered away.

'I can't use ingredients under the 7th stage with Immortal Qi. Let's see what a little of it can do to my body.'

Ken sat close to the cauldron. The runes on the cauldron helped him keep the energy at bay, but once it'd get out, it'd be hard to force it to move in a specific direction. Once he sat as close as he could without getting burned, he opened the lid slightly and a wave of heat rushed outside.

One more thing came out, a small stream of Immortal Qi. He did not want to take too much on it, but he believed he would not have trouble controlling only a tiny bit. After all, his body was strengthened by a higher form of energy, and he still had some remnants of the Godly Qi in his body, enhancing his natural growth.

'I still need to be careful and only absorb a small amount, just in case,' Ken reached out with his finger and took in some of the Qi coming out of the cauldron. Usually, cultivators sucked in the Qi from every pore in the body, and their upper body would be where most of their Qi comes from, but not now.

In his cautiousness, Ken only sucked it from his fingers. Even if he lost them, it was not a big deal. He could always grow them back with the help of seventh-grade pills. While sixth-grade pills could help heal broken and injured parts, even in extreme conditions sometimes, only seventh-grade pills could restore what was lost.

'Hmm, that's not terrible,' Ken pondered as he felt a strand of Immortal Qi enters his finger. It caused some pressure on his flesh and bones, but soon Ken managed to take control of it, and it seemed to integrate well with his body.

'Wait, what is going on?' he raised his eyebrows in surprise when something odd happened. The Immortal Qi was sucked into his bone out of nowhere, vanishing in a single moment.

'Could it be...?'

Ken closed his eyes and concentrated on his body. He scanned it with his mind, delving deep with his Qi sense into his own bones. There, in the place where the Qi disappeared earlier, he found it. There was a small amount of Godly Qi hidden there.

'But what happened to the Immortal Qi? What did it do with it?' Ken asked himself in confusion. He did not feel any difference in his body, and he was confident he'd be able to sense it if there was any.

'Let's try again.' no-velUsB,c.O)M

Ken let another strand of Immortal Qi enter his finger, but this time he kept a close eye on the Godly Qi. He followed the strand of Immortal Qi with his senses carefully, waiting for the suction to happen. A second later, when the Qi reached the same place it was before, it faced a strong pulling force and was swallowed by the Godly Qi.

'The quantity! It rose by a little! Only by a minuscule amount, but it's because of the amount of Immortal Qi I used. The Godly Qi uses this energy to 'reproduce' itself or something like that!'

The revelation was exciting, to say the least. Ken's strongest advantage was his extremely powerful foundation which was built thanks to the Godly Qi in his body. Only thanks to this advantage, his foundation was even better than the seeds of the different sects, who were considered unparalleled and almost promised to ascend if they remain alive.

Ken began absorbing all the Qi that came out of the cauldron, not letting any additional Immortal Qi go to waste. He let it enter the pores in his skin all over his hand, and the Immortal Qi kept entering and getting sucked into Godly Qi that hid in different places in his hand.

The amount of Godly Qi steadily grew, and Ken was getting more and more excited by the new prospects available by this miracle. The golden energy did not grow equally to the amount of Immortal Qi spent. The ratio was around one to 20, but it was better than Ken could hope for.

He was sure he'd never be able to use the Godly Qi again, and yet a gift came to him straight from the heavens. If he got the stones 10 years later, the Godly Qi would be completely consumed in the process of boosting his natural growth, and he would never even know about this option to renew the Godly Qi.

'I thought I had gold but found out it was diamonds,' Ken smiled to himself excitedly and opened the cauldron completely. He pulled the Immortal Qi Stone into his lap and let it enter his body from everywhere, renewing his Godly Qi reserves at high speed.

He used the next few hours in replenishing his Godly Qi, and it cost him 20 stones to do so. While he needed to absorb hundreds of medium Qi Stone to replenish his Qi's capacity, the immortal stones were meant for immortals and naturally contained much more energy within them. Thus, 20 immortal stones provided him with enough Godly Qi to fill his whole body.

"Hahahaha! I can get strongest at a crazy speed again!"

Ken laughed uncontrollably in the empty room; he could already see the limitless future that just opened to him. He scanned his body with his senses again, reveling in the renewed golden energy that filled his muscles, organs, and bones again.

When he calmed down, he started rethinking his advancement manual again. He remained cross-legged for 5 days, immersing himself in mind experiments to try to predict the future of each route he could take, until finally, he had to get up and go to train under Fernando again.
