Chapter 6

When Yi Tian's clone began to cultivate, he immediately felt a thin stream of fire essence energy, along with other essence energies, passing through his acupoints, trembling, absorbing, and refining.

The Fiery True Qi gradually reduced his physical weakness.

Even so, such a cultivation speed only allowed him to maintain this state.

At this moment, the route of the Fiery True Qi's circulation involuntarily appeared in his mind.

It was as if a star map was hanging high.

His body's meridians, acupoints, and other parts all appeared one by one, and the Fiery True Qi circulated through his meridians and acupoints.

The acupoints through which the Fiery True Qi passed trembled, absorbing the surrounding essence energy like black holes, and then refining it during the circulation of the Fiery True Qi.

Yi Tian seemed to become an observer.

He thoroughly understood all the mysteries of the Fiery True Qi's transformation in this clone.

So it was like this!

At this moment, Yi Tian's understanding of the Fiery True Qi could be said to have reached a pinnacle, giving him a broad and clear perspective.

After comprehending all the mysteries of the Fiery True Qi, the route of its cultivation seemed very simple to him.

Moreover, with his insight, he immediately noticed five flaws in the trajectory of the Fiery True Qi's circulation, which caused the cultivation technique to run smoothly.

So the Fiery True Qi still had its shortcomings!

If he adjusted the trajectory of the cultivation technique, the cultivation speed of the Fiery True Qi would greatly increase.

Yi Tian had this thought and could no longer suppress it.

Trying it out should be fine!

He thought that since this was his clone, even if it went wrong, it wouldn't affect him much. If the attempt was successful, his cultivation speed would greatly increase.

Thus, the clone, unable to resist, began to try to fine-tune the trajectory of the Fiery True Qi's circulation.

When Yi Tian was circulating the cultivation technique, he adjusted the Fiery True Qi at the first flawed position, slightly changing its path and entering another small meridian.

Suddenly, Yi Tian felt that the circulation speed of the Fiery True Qi increased by one-tenth. The increase in circulation speed made the absorption of external essence energy by the acupoints and meridians faster.

Encouraged by this, Yi Tian corrected all five flaws in the Fiery True Qi.

After he perfected these five flaws, the cultivation speed of the new Fiery True Qi increased threefold. The speed at which he absorbed essence energy was so fast that it even affected the flow of essence energy in the air, causing a gentle breeze to swirl around him.

After perfecting these five flaws, the cultivation speed of the new Fiery True Qi was several times faster, not much different from other middle-grade human cultivation techniques, and even faster.

Besides these five flaws, Yi Tian could see some areas where the Fiery True Qi could be further optimized.

However, these optimizations required multiple attempts to find the best solution.

Yi Tian's consciousness quickly returned to his main body.

The clone's aura changed, quickly reverting to the form of star mud.

He turned the star mud into a stone ring, wore it on his hand, and the star mud, in its stone form, consumed very little energy, allowing it to last for a very long time.

After returning to his main body, Yi Tian began to cultivate the new version of the Fiery True Qi.

Indeed, his cultivation speed of the Fiery True Qi was several times faster, like being on a fast track, which was extremely satisfying.

The next day, his cultivation speed was even faster. The omnipresent solar fire energy greatly reduced the time it took to refine the Fiery True Qi, requiring only partial purification.

As a result, during the intense sunlight of the day, his cultivation speed of the Fiery True Qi reached five times that of a lower-grade human cultivation technique, almost matching the speed of a higher-grade human cultivation technique.

However, due to the characteristics of the Fiery True Qi, most of the true qi was integrated into his body, like a fire-refined body, continuously refining his body. The effect was far superior to other cultivation techniques, which, although they also refined the body, did so to a limited extent or only strengthened certain parts.

As a result, although Yi Tian's cultivation speed was comparable to that of a higher-grade human cultivation technique, the speed at which he cultivated true qi was slightly slower than that of a middle-grade human cultivation technique.

The improved Fiery True Qi allowed Yi Tian's cultivation to be no slower than others, and his physical body received the most comprehensive refinement, making his foundation more solid than others.

The comprehensive refinement of his physical body led to a significant increase in his appetite.

Because, although the Fiery True Qi could refine his physical body, the cells that endured the refinement required a large amount of energy to replenish. The fierce energy of the Fiery True Qi, while continuously refining the cells and removing impurities, could not replenish the energy needed by the cells.

Except for true qi that was neutral and full of vitality, other true qi, due to their various attributes, would continuously refine the physical body but could not replenish the energy of the cells. This is why martial artists have a large appetite and must eat meat from fierce beasts, which contain a large amount of essence energy.

Due to the significant increase in Yi Tian's appetite, the food at home was almost depleted.

Yi Tian had to pause his cultivation and prepare to go hunting, otherwise, he could not meet his consumption needs.

Two months after the ancestral sacrifice.

Yi Tian picked up the second bow left by his father, the Blood Pattern Bow, and slung the quiver over his back, preparing to enter the mountains to hunt.

This time, he planned to enter the Fulong Mountains for a hundred miles.

The Fulong Mountains were the largest mountain range in this vast land, spanning dozens of countries, at least tens of thousands of miles.

The area from the edge of the Fulong Mountains to a thousand miles was just the outer region of the Fulong Mountains, where fierce beasts roamed, and it was rare to see fierce beasts in the outer region.

Once one entered the inner part of the Fulong Mountains, it became even more dangerous, with fierce beasts everywhere. Even the strongest leader of the Yi tribe dared not take a single step inside.

Previously, Yi Tian only hunted some wild animals near the tribe, in the outer region of the Fulong Mountains, which were not even fierce beasts, and their flesh contained little energy.

Now that his appetite had greatly increased, ordinary wild animal meat was of little use to him. Three to five wild animals a day could barely meet his daily consumption needs.

Therefore, this time, his target was the fierce beasts in the outer region of the Fulong Mountains.

"Son, be careful. If you encounter any danger, don't be reckless!"

Su Yue'e, as she bid farewell to Yi Tian, could not shake off her worry and gave him earnest advice.

"Brother, you're the best!"

Yi Xiaolong cheered for Yi Tian.

"Brother, go for it!"

Yi Xiaoting, with her cute little face, clenched her small fists and said to Yi Tian.

This was something she had learned from Yi Tian.

Yi Tian felt the warmth of family and said to the twins, Xiaolong and Xiaoting, "You two must be good at home. Mother, don't worry. My strength has greatly increased this time. Are you still not reassured?"

Hearing this, Su Yue'e also recalled Yi Tian's recent changes. Not long ago, he had lifted the 1,500-pound stone mill in the courtyard, which made her feel both shocked and proud. Her worries were thus greatly alleviated.

Yi Tian bid farewell to his family and walked down the mountain.

Suddenly, three figures dressed in hunting gear appeared ahead, and they were Yi Feng, Yi Shan, and Yi Li.

"You..."

Yi Tian was somewhat moved.

Yesterday, he had only mentioned it to them, and now they were dressed for hunting, clearly intending to go into the mountains with him.

Yi Feng said, "My appetite has increased recently, and the food at home is getting tight. Since you're also going into the mountains, let's go together, be self-reliant, and let the fierce beasts in the mountains taste the power of my Fierce Wind Tyrant Tiger Technique!"

Yi Shan, who was a bit slow of speech, grunted for a long time without saying anything, but his expression clearly said, "If you don't take me, I'll be upset."

Yi Li coldly said, "Let's go. What's with all the sentimentality among a bunch of men!"

Yi Tian was depressed when he heard Yi Li's words.

He hadn't even started being sentimental, how did you know?

Yi Feng looked at Yi Li with a grievance, as this guy really didn't understand the mood.

Thus, the four of them, including Yi Tian, set off into the mountains together.
