He ran the simulation of the cultivation technique in his mind repeatedly, adjusting how the Qi flowed and affected his body.
But that wasn't enough. He delved into the core of the technique, adjusting the Yin and Yang elements to suit himself better.
...
After what felt like an eternity, he took a deep breath and dispersed the radiant qi from around himself, "Finally derived the cultivation technique," he wiped the sweat from his brow as a smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
[You really did something impossible, Shen Yuan. The faces of the sect's elders would be worthy to watch if they knew you have managed to accomplish.]
Shen Yuan smugly replied, "No need to bother with them, the sect won't get another male disciple so there is no need for them to know about this technique. For now, I need to cultivate it and fill up my second dantian with radiant Qi."
Yue Lan got silent. Shen Yuan's focus also shifted as he started cultivating Radiant Lotus Cultivation Art. Now that he understood the intricacies of the cultivation technique, it would be much easier for him to cultivate it now."
He sat straight as he began running his Qi as instructed in the cultivation manual. The technique started gathering Radiant Qi from his surroundings, pulling it outside his body.
Slowly, he began guiding the Qi in his body towards his dantian, using the foundation he had laid with Primal Harmony Physique.
Shen Yuan directed the radiant Qi through his body, sensing how it naturally tried to spread to all his dantians. But with his extreme control over his Qi, he kept it flowing solely to his second dantian, making a steady Qi stream that poured itself into his dantian.
As the radiant Qi entered his dantian, he felt it being refined by his Purity Physique, removing impurities. The Qi not only grew more powerful but its healing properties became more potent.
Shen Yuan began by condensing mist in his new dantian as the Qi flew through his body and went into his second dantian. His absorption speed was hundreds or even thousands of times better than before.
In mere minutes he had reached the peak Body Forging realm with the standards of the new cultivation technique. But he didn't stop there as he continued to cultivate.
He felt if he continued cultivating the technique, he could reach the upper limit soon enough.
...
He went to his chair and lay down in it, taking out a gourd of wine and started drinking from it without even using cups.
...
Shen Yuan walked amidst the bustling marketplace of the outer sect disciples, looking at the various stalls set up with beautiful disciples selling or purchasing their goods.
The surroundings also began to buzz with activity as they saw Shen Yuan walking in the marketplace, most of them didn't know how he looked as they had only heard about it.
Seeing him now, half felt their hearts flutter, while others sensed something sweet in the air. But they didn't come forward to disturb him as they still had that much modestly left in them.
Shen Yuan smiled lightly looking at this scene, which only made the maidens' hearts flutter as they thought Shen Yuan was smiling towards them.
He soon came in front of a stall, where a young disciple was attending to the customers.
He looked at the side and saw a few swords hanging on the wall. But they were only low-level swords so they didn't pique his interest much, he soon walked forward.
Shen Yuan continued to stroll through the marketplace, his eyes casually scanning the various stalls set up all over the place. Though none of the items there caught his eye, the lively atmosphere made his day brighter.
The sight of the bustling sect painted a vivid image of his prosperous future inside it. The occasional glances thrown his way reminded him that he was truly an anomaly in this all-female sect.
He approached a small stall set up at an obscure corner of the market, where a group of disciples were gathered, looking at a collection of talismans.
One of the disciples running the stall, a petite girl with bright eyes and a friendly smile, which made her seem as if she was born to be a mascot noticed him.
Her face turned red as she recognized him. She was one of his secret admirers, she hurriedly tried to compose herself.
"Senior Brother Shen Yuan! I didn't expect to see you here. Are you looking for anything in particular?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
Shen Yuan gave a polite nod and a charming smile, "Just looking around for now. Anything interesting today?"
