Chapter 29 Little Nick's Wish [Please Read On]

This scene reminded Chen Xuan of a concept that the cat girl had mentioned:

[The body is the container of magic essence]

…

The free magic power that finally dissipated after going around in circles was not without effect.

They subtly tempered the body.

This is a strengthening process from the inside out, which requires long-term efforts.

The part of the magic power that settled down became the magic element that merged with the body.

Even if they were consumed, they would recover quickly over time or with external supplements.

When the faint figure was completely filled with light gray in the empty state, it meant that he had cultivated to the pinnacle of the black iron level.

Continue to cultivate, and as the free magic power is tempered, the figure will change from grayish white to pure white.

Later, the color changes will be green, blue, purple, orange, and gold.

This point also coincides with the color level relationship of the magic core.

The "Basic Magic Element Cultivation Method" records this in detail.

There is no strict bottleneck in the follow-up, the difference is the speed of absorbing magic power.

The more you advance, the more magic you need to absorb and extract at each level.

At the same time, as your physique improves, the effect of tempering magic will become weaker and weaker.

Because the body's carrying capacity is always unable to keep up with the improvement of your mind.

Of course, this refers to the case of regular single cultivation of magic essence.

There is no such problem with dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, but it takes more time to cultivate magic essence and mental power at the same time, even if you add the time saved by talent in cultivation.

Combining the two, the time he spends is about the same as that of ordinary single-item practitioners.

But the combat power that can be exerted at the same level is also very different.

Theoretically, if you have an infinite lifespan and don't have to worry about food and drink, you can practice hard in seclusion for tens of thousands of years, and even the dullest guy can practice to become a top-level strongman.

But this assumption is like a daydream.

The feeling of cultivation is quite good, and the body and mind are more relaxed in the state of emptiness.

But as the body continues to temper, there is still a little fatigue accumulating.

Rebecca is glad that her master did not dislike the environment of the shabby room.

This gives her more opportunities to accompany her family.

Moreover, after spending nearly a day together in Naroya, she thought Chen Xuan's temper was not bad.

Previously, Chen Xuan had said that as long as she worked well for him, he would find a way to cure his mother and brother.

At that time, the little cat girl thought it was just an empty promise, but now she suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.

Apart from other aspects, the fact that the contract can be modified alone is enough to prove that her master is a well-deserved potential stock!

In addition, if he has a good heart, maybe he can really fulfill his promise!

She sat cross-legged opposite Chen Xuan, looking up slightly at his face.

After staring silently for a while, she breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes to enter the state of cultivation.

...

Time passed quickly.

The pseudo night passed, and the moon night came.

Unknowingly, Chen Xuan and Rebecca had returned to the Naroya world for more than thirty hours.

When Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, Rebecca was boiling soup under the hanging stove.

"Gurgle..."

The hungry cry came from the stomach, accompanied by an indescribable feeling of fatigue.

"Hmm... Rebecca, how long has it been?"

He called softly. In fact, he could interrupt the practice at any time.

But Chen Xuan wanted to challenge the limit of his single practice.

So he persisted until fatigue occupied most of his perception and his mind could not control the magic power before he exited the empty state.

Hearing his voice, Rebecca, who was stirring the black pottery pot with a wooden spoon, stopped immediately.

"You woke up!"

"Four water clocks have passed!"

"You are really amazing. I have never seen anyone practice for so long!"

"This proves that you really have the top magic element practice talent!"

The little cat girl took off her leather armor and only wore the casual long-sleeved shirt that Chen Xuan bought for her.

Her sleeves were rolled up, revealing her white and smooth arms.

"Hmm, it's really long enough..."

"I have to go out to relieve myself."

Chen Xuan rubbed his face, slowly got up, walked out of the shed with fatigue, and found a corner to relieve the burden of his body.

Outside, the sky was full of stars, but Rat Alley was pitch black.

Only in the distant core city and those dome towers were there a few sparks of fire.

He took out a few boxes of self-heating rice and a bucket of mineral water from the storage compartment, and then returned to the house.

"Have you eaten?"

Chen Xuan brought a lot of food, and it was no problem to supply rations for several people.

But Rebecca smiled and nodded.

"We have eaten."

She pointed to seven or eight pieces of mixed bran bread on the rotten wooden table.

Chen Xuan said "Oh" and prepared a late dinner, or midnight snack.

Rebecca's mother had fallen asleep, and her younger brother Nick Mirui leaned against the bed, holding a tattered picture book in his hand, staring at Chen Xuan intently.

His big red eyes were full of curiosity and desire.

"Big brother..."

Nick shouted at his back for some reason.

When Chen Xuan heard this greeting, he closed the self-heating lunch box filled with water and seasonings and slowly turned around.

"Sister said...you are her partner?"

"Ahem... Then you must be an adventurer too..."

"You look very special. I have never seen a human like you."

Chen Xuan smiled softly and was about to walk over to talk to Nick.

Rebecca threw away the wooden spoon in panic and scolded Nick harshly.

"Don't be rude!"

"Use the honorific 'you'!"

She emphasized seriously.

Chen Xuan understood that she had not told her family about the contract slavery.

This was not good news, and it was easy to cause emotional fluctuations in her brother and mother.

Chen Xuan didn't care about this. He raised his eyebrows at Rebecca and signaled her to stay calm.

At the same time, he put one hand behind his back and took out a few soft and vacuum-packed cakes.

He came to the bed and looked at the little Nick who had just been scolded by his sister and looked a little aggrieved.

"Take it, this is my gift to you."

He put the cake in front of Nick.

The comforted little Nick shook the cat ears on his head.

"Thank you...thank you, big brother!"

"Nick also wants to be like you...you and sister become adventurers!"

"This is my wish!"

"But Nick is sick, and he can't calm down to practice..."

His words touched Chen Xuan a little.

"There will be a chance."

"As long as you don't give up hope."

...

Chen Xuan felt bitter when he said the dry chicken soup.

Little Nick took it seriously, and nodded vigorously.

"Yeah!"

"Sister said that too."

"Nick believes in you..."

The room was suddenly silent, with only the "hissing" sound of boiling water vapor echoing.
