Path to Dual Cultivation

32  Impurities

Su Yang slowly opened his eyes after reaching the first level of the Elementary Spirit Realm, feeling a profound surge of energy flowing through his veins and entire body.

"Congratulations on your extraordinary feat, Su Yang. To awaken your Dantian so swiftly, you possess a truly awe-inspiring cultivation potential." Bai Yufeng's voice was filled with admiration as he spoke.

"Normally, it takes several weeks, if not years, depending on one's talent to awaken one's Dantian, and then a few more days to enter the first level of the Elementary Spirit Realm. Yet, you've managed to awaken your Dantian in just two hours. I have never seen or heard of anyone awakening their Dantian as fast as you."

"Even though it took you an entire month to enter the first level of the Elementary Spirit Realm, you are still ahead of most in terms of progress."

"Huh? An entire month has passed? It only felt like a few hours had gone by!" Su Yang's voice was filled with disbelief and wonder, his widened eyes reflecting the shock of the time distortion he had experienced. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Bai Yufeng smiled, "This is what happens when you're too absorbed in your cultivation, and it'll only get worse the higher your cultivation, so unless you plan on entering secluded cultivation or preparing for a breakthrough, it's best not to cultivate so deeply." Su Yang nodded with a serious expression. He could already imagine cultivating for several years straight without realizing and missing many things in his life.

"Anyways, now that you've successfully taken your first step into the world of cultivation, I shall part with you a simple and basic technique to materialize Yang Qi into flames." Bai Yufeng handed him a commonly used technique for Yang Qi Cultivators around the world.

"This technique is just meant to teach you the basics and give you a glimpse into the world of Yang Qi Cultivators, not something permanent like your cultivation technique. Once your understanding reaches a certain level, you'll be able to learn or develop better techniques."

"Thank you!" Su Yang said as he accepted the technique.

"Basics of Converting Yang Qi into Flames…" he read the name out loud, and it sounded more like a normal book than a technique.

Bai Yufeng said, "Also, don't be disheartened if you struggle to create flames initially. Remember, it demands an immense amount of Yang Qi to manifest flames, even as minuscule as a candle's flicker. You may have endless Yang Qi, but you can still exhaust your Yang Qi if you don't know how to utilize your Heavenly Constitution properly. Your cultivation technique will not only help you cultivate but also teach you how to control your Boundless Yang Constitution."

"I understand." Su Yang nodded.

"Good, then study your new technique and continue improving your cultivation. I will evaluate your progress in one month. If you have any questions, you may contact me using my communication jade slip." Bai Yufeng said as he tossed a jade slip to Su Yang.

Once Su Yang returned to his own living quarters, Bai Yufeng met with Senior Wu to inform him of the situation.

"What!? He's already managed to enter the Elementary Spirit Realm?! It's only been a month!" Senior Wu was shocked to hear this news.

Seeing how Senior Wu reacted, Bai Yufeng didn't dare to tell him that Su Yang had managed to awaken his Dantian in just two hours, fearing that it might give Senior Wu a heart attack.

"Yes, he's a cultivation genius."

"What is he doing now?"

"I sent him away to cultivate alone."

"Already? Will he be fine alone? I'm worried that he might mess up his cultivation again." Senior Wu spoke with a worried expression as he recalled the previous incident.

"I have watched him cultivate for an entire month. His understanding of the cultivation technique and his execution are excellent. It's as if he already has years of experience with it. Nothing will happen even if we leave him alone." Bai Yufeng spoke with confidence.

"If Senrio Bai says so." Senior Wu nodded.

Exactly a month later, Su Yang opened his eyes with a profound flickering within.

"I have barely achieved the second level of the Elementary Spirit Realm in a month. Not sure if this is fast or slow."

Su Yang muttered to himself as left his room.

On his way out, he encountered Huang Xiaoyun.

"Good morning, Senior Apprentice Sister—"

However, when Huang Xiaoyun saw him, she abruptly jumped back like a startled cat and pinched her nose, shouting, "Heavens! What is that smell on you?! You smell like shit!" "What?" Su Yang's eyes widened with shock at her harsh words, and he quickly sniffed his arm. "Wow, you're right. I smell like rotten eggs," he mumbled in a dazed voice.

Unbeknownst to Su Yang or Huang Xiaoyun, Su Yang's cultivation technique, Burning the Heavens, directly burned the impurities he absorbed during cultivation, hence the abnormal stench.

In addition to the natural impurities that one accumulates, the ambient Profound Qi in the air also contains impurities that inevitably get absorbed during cultivation and gradually accumulate within the Cultivator's body.

If too much of this impurity accumulates, it could harm the Cultivator's body and cultivation, which is why it must be expelled once every few years. The expelled impurities usually take the form of a gooey black substance and exude an intense foul smell, but Su Yang's cultivation technique automatically burns all impurities within his body with his own Yang Qi as he cultivated, leaving behind no substances and only the foul smell. Since this was Su Yang's first time releasing so many impurities at once, the smell was stronger than usual.

"I-I will clean myself right away!" he quickly rushed into the bathroom and started scrubbing his body with all his strength.

Huang Xiaoyun stood there with a dazed look on her face.

'That smell was definitely caused by his impurities being ejected from his body, but he had just entered the second level of the Elementary Spirit Realm. Unless he consumed a treasure or an Impurity Cleansing Pill, it's impossible for a Cultivator at that level to cleanse his own impurities. Perhaps it has something to do with his cultivation technique. How envious…' Huang Xiaoyun sighed inwardly.

In order to cleanse her own impurities, she needed the help of Impurity Cleansing Pills, each costing ten low-quality spirit stones. However, due to their strong properties, these pills can only be consumed by those who have reached the Profound Spirit Realm, so Su Yang couldn't have consumed one without any internal injuries.
