Su Yuchen entertained Senior Brother Li till late into the night. They ate a lot of food by his maid. After Senior Brother Li left, Su Yuchen decided to cultivate at night rather than sleeping as he had a rest in the day.

One of the five oculi in the ceiling was opened, letting the moonlight inside the cultivation room.

The formations in the cultivation room captured the lunar astral energy, enhanced the yin energy and gathered it at the centre of the formation.

Su Yuchen sat at the centre of the formation and then instantly entered into the cultivation state. He visualised the meridian system. The astral energy was flowing in the meridians and slowly nourishing his organs. His dantian was filled with his astral energy. His astral energy began to flow in the meridian system after being infused with his aura by the life essence.

As his astral energy flowed out of his dantian, untouched astral energy flowed into his dantian. The life essence passively infused his aura into the untouched astral energy.

Su Yuchen moved his sight and saw the eight extraordinary meridians. The astral energy in his meridians was crossing through these eight extraordinary meridians. Some of the astral energy was being stored in the eight extraordinary meridians. The astral energy began to flow more harmoniously as they flowed out through these eight extraordinary meridians.

Su Yuchen began the condensation of astral energy in his meridian system. The life essence attracted all the astral energy in its path. The astral energy began to condense around the life essence.

Su Yuchen focused his mind to resist the life essence from attracting the lunar astral energy around it. The lunar astral energy began to fill the six yin meridians of the twelve primary meridians.

Su Yuchen bared his gritted teeth and completed the circulation through twelve primary meridians with bloody red teary eyes and severe headache.

Su Yuchen’s meridian system is far wider than before. It was an extremely difficult task to circulate the life essence through all the primary meridians while bearing the pressure of the enormous amount of condensed astral energy, even with an enhanced mind. Su Yuchen still resorted to allocate some of his focus on the lunar astral energy during his cultivation.

Su Yuchen closed the oculus in the ceiling. He took rest and gave some time for his mind to recover. In that moment, he felt a cooling sensation wrapping his head, he felt his mind rejuvenating with that sensation.

After an hour, Su Yuchen controlled the life essence and began collecting the lunar astral energy. He condensed all the lunar astral energy that entered his meridians, everything that the formation in the cultivation room gathered. When he began to feel the pressure from the condensed lunar astral energy, there was also an extra, cold sensation in that pressure.

Su Yuchen stored the condensed lunar astral energy in his dantian and then collapsed in the cultivation room holding his head. He was in a worse state than the first circulation. He quickly took a stellar rock and held it close to his body, letting it quench its thirst of astral energy. He tried to resist his heavy eyes from closing, he didn’t want to go to sleep yet. In five minutes his body stopped urging him to sleep.

After half an hour, Su Yuchen entered the cultivation state and controlled the life essence. He carried it and entered the first extraordinary meridian he needs to refine, Ren Mai. The yin heavy astral energy around his life essence made the body open the way into the Ren Mai.

Upon entering Ren Mai, Su Yuchen felt a dark blue line of energy connected to the life essence. This was something he never felt when he controlled the life essence before. Su Yuchen already knew that this dark blue energy was Yin Essence. The Yin Essence circulates through every extraordinary meridian. This dark blue Yin Essence was nourishing his life essence.

Su Yuchen soon controlled the life essence and only let the condensed lunar astral energy enter the narrow Ren Mai little by little. The life essence slowly completed the circulation through the Ren Mai and entered the dantian. Yin energy connected to the lunar astral energy was deposited in the Ren Mai, a yin meridian that acts as the reservoir for yin energy.

The condensed yin energy in the Ren Mai was smaller than the size of a small sand grain.

Su Yuchen ended his cultivation state and immediately went to sleep in his bedroom. His mind was beaten a lot during this cultivation session. No matter how much his soul energy nourishes it, he wouldn’t be able to stand the fatigue.

[Ding! Daily sign in completed. Rewarded “Yin Stellar Rock x 10”.]

‘How much does a yin stellar rock will improve my cultivation speed?’ Su Yuchen contemplated while looking at the inch size rock in his hand. He guessed that the yin stellar rock might just be full of yin energy from its name.

Su Yuchen asked the golden bead while massaging his scalp, ‘How effective is this yin stellar rock?’

[If the cultivator plans his cultivation session everyday similar to the night before, he can fill half of the Ren Mai in thirty seven day and achieve a breakthrough in cultivation.]

A smiled bloomed on Su Yuchen’s face upon listening to the system’s notification. He put even more value to the yin stellar rock and placed it inside the system storage space.

‘You said I can breakthrough in thirty seven days. So, should I scrap the idea of refining my meridian system?’ Su Yuchen asked the system. Although, Senior Brother Li advised him to pause refinements of the meridian system until he reached the sixth stage of Meridian Refinement Realm, he still wanted to confirm it with the system.

[The cultivator is advised to start refinements of the meridian system at the ninth stage of the Energy Condensation Realm.]

[Refining the primary meridians, extraordinary meridians and dantian together produces greater benefits than refining them separately.]

‘Okay.’ Su Yuchen nodded.

‘I am overexerting my mind too much. Will it cause any trauma to me?’ Su Yuchen asked the system while still continuing to massage his scalp.

[The actions of the cultivators will have severe consequences.]

[The cultivator can nourish his body with the elixirs from the system to avoid damages to his mind.]

‘Oh, thanks.’ Su Yuchen was relieved by the system’s reply.
