Returning to his room, Yuan Feng immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began to ponder. The awakening of the Heaven Devouring Martial Spirit was of great significance to him, and at the moment, what he needed to do was figure out how to use the Heaven Devouring Martial Spirit to enhance his strength as quickly and to the greatest extent possible.
"Energy, that's what I lack the most right now. I need a lot of energy to convert into Primordial Energy. I need to break through to the Third Level of the Condensing Primordial Realm as soon as possible. That way, I can practice some martial techniques. Although I am a Second Rank Warrior now, I am almost no different from an ordinary person!"
Only by reaching the Third Level of the Condensing Primordial Realm would he have enough Primordial Energy to practice martial techniques. Yuan Feng had always been stuck at the Second Level of the Condensing Primordial Realm and had never even touched a martial technique. Without martial techniques, to be honest, he always felt a lack of security.
"Where can I get energy? If only I could eat a lot of demon beast meat."
Demon beast meat wasn't easy to come by, even for the Yuan Family. They could only have it regularly, and ascending demon beasts were not easy to obtain. Non-ascending demon beasts, on the other hand, had very little energy, and it would be hard to cultivate even a few threads of Primordial Energy from them.
"Right, heaven-endowed treasures! Demon beasts are hard to get, but heaven-endowed treasures should be easier. I haven't collected this month's monthly supply of spirit plants yet. I might as well take advantage of this injury to try it out."
After all, he was the son of the head of the Yuan Family. Although his status was a bit low, he still received a monthly supply of spirit plants and supplements. The only question was how effective the spirit plants would be.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Third Young Master, Wan'er has come to help you wash up."
Just as Yuan Feng was pondering, a knock came at the door, and a slightly fearful voice sounded in his ear.
"Uh, come in!"
Slightly stunned, Yuan Feng felt somewhat uncomfortable. Wan'er was his maid, reportedly picked up by the head of the Yuan Family, Yuan Qingyun, from outside. She had been responsible for his daily care ever since. In the past, when Yuan Feng was drunk, he often touched this little maid, so in Wan'er's eyes, Yuan Feng was a complete scoundrel. Every time she came to serve him, she was timid and hesitant.
The door opened, and a young girl who looked to be in her early teens slowly walked in with a basin. The girl had a fair complexion, large, bright black eyes, and a simple ponytail. Her pretty eyebrows were slightly furrowed, making her both beautiful and adorable. Seeing Yuan Feng sitting on the bed, the little girl bit her lip and mustered the courage to walk over to him.
"Cough, cough, Wan'er, my injuries aren't that serious. You can put the basin down, and I'll take care of it myself." Seeing the unwilling expression on the little girl's face, Yuan Feng felt a sense of guilt. He had no sense of hierarchy and was not used to being served. Having someone help him wash his face was no different from being a waste. He couldn't enjoy such luxury.
"Ah?" Hearing that Yuan Feng didn't need her to serve him, Wan'er was somewhat stunned and let out a soft exclamation.
"Little girl, I have a task for you. Go to the warehouse and get me some supplements. Ginseng, lingzhi, anything that can help my body, and the more, the better."
To be honest, Wan'er's arrival was timely. With his injuries, he was a bit less mobile, and before he had basic self-defense capabilities, he didn't want to interact with too many people.
"Supplements? Okay, Wan'er will go to the warehouse right away." The little girl seemed eager to leave and was overjoyed at the chance to go. She bowed slightly to Yuan Feng and happily left.
"Uh, am I that scary?" Touching his still handsome face, Yuan Feng was speechless. It seemed that the previous Yuan Feng had left a significant shadow in the little girl's heart.
"I don't know if the spirit plants will be effective, but if they work, I'll try to get more. However, the most effective should still be demon beasts. I need to find a way to get more demon beast meat." Getting out of bed and washing up, his mind never stopped thinking. He went through all the possible methods in his head, ready to implement them one by one.
Not long after, Wan'er returned, but this time she was holding a large tray instead of a basin.
"Third Young Master, these are fresh supplements recently acquired from the market. Which one would you like to eat? Wan'er will prepare it for you." Naturally keeping a distance from Yuan Feng, Wan'er held the large tray, which was disproportionate to her size. There were six or seven ginseng roots, as well as lingzhi and spirit grass. From her strained expression, it was clear that the tray was quite heavy.
"Cough, cough, you really got a lot!" His eyelids twitched. Yuan Feng didn't expect the girl to bring back so many spirit plants. It seemed this little girl was quite resourceful.
"No need to prepare them. Just put them here, and you can go out. I'll call you if I need anything." With the spirit plants in front of him, Yuan Feng was eager to try them out. He wanted to see if these high-quality spirit plants could help him enhance his Primordial Energy.
"Ah? No need to prepare them? Are you going to eat them raw?" Hearing Yuan Feng's words, Wan'er was surprised, but since he told her to leave, she was more than happy to comply without any objections.
"What's wrong with Third Young Master today? Not only does he not need me to help him wash up, but he also speaks so politely. Did he hit his head?" With a hint of confusion, the little girl put down the tray and left gracefully. Before leaving, she couldn't help but steal a glance. After serving Yuan Feng for so long, she really felt that he was different now.
"Tsk, tsk, lingzhi, ginseng, snow soul grass, all great supplements. Let's see how effective they are!"
After sending Wan'er away, Yuan Feng placed the large tray of spirit plants on the bed. He picked up a ginseng root first. The Heaven Devouring Martial Spirit could devour all energy and convert it into Primordial Energy, so he didn't have to worry about over-supplementing. With a deep breath, he started to eat voraciously.
"Crunch, crunch!"
In no time, he had finished the six or seven ginseng roots. As he swallowed them, he could feel his body gradually warming up. At this moment, the image of the Heaven Devouring Martial Spirit appeared automatically, and the Primordial Energy in his dantian began to circulate.
Pausing his eating, Yuan Feng closed his eyes and quietly circulated the cultivation technique, guiding the Primordial Energy to flow through his meridians.
Closing his eyes and focusing inward, he saw tiny specks of light slowly forming in his meridians. These specks were very small but numerous, almost every meridian had such tiny specks of light. As his Primordial Energy flowed through the meridians, these tiny specks joined the Primordial Energy, and more and more of them joined, making the Primordial Energy grow stronger.
"Good, it's effective, very effective."
Excitement filled his face. The Heaven Devouring Martial Spirit, being the Martial Spirit of the ancient Heaven Devouring Beast, had converted almost half of the ginseng into Primordial Energy, which appeared as the tiny specks of light in his meridians. In just a short while, the Primordial Energy in his meridians had significantly increased.
"Huh? My meridians..."
At this moment, he suddenly noticed something.
"Whoa, my meridians, they have become much thicker?"
Shifting his attention from the strengthened Primordial Energy, Yuan Feng suddenly realized that his meridians were now much thicker than before. The Primordial Energy flowed through these thicker meridians much faster and more smoothly.
"Ha ha, great, the Heaven Devouring Martial Spirit has this function too? Strengthening the meridians, this is a fundamental improvement!"
Yuan Feng was excited. If the mere enhancement of Primordial Energy was like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, strengthening the meridians was different. Strengthening the meridians changed one's innate talent, which was a one-time, permanent improvement.
The reason the previous Third Young Master of the Yuan Family couldn't break through for a long time was mainly due to his lack of innate talent, specifically, his fine and weak meridians and frail body, which were unsuitable for martial cultivation.
But now, things were different. As long as he kept devouring heaven-endowed treasures, he could strengthen his meridians and continuously improve his innate talent. From a waste, he could leap to a genius. Even without a large amount of energy to devour, he could still accelerate his cultivation speed and surpass others.
"The Heaven Devouring Martial Spirit is truly a heaven-defying existence!"
Without hesitation, he used both hands to grab the spirit plants on the tray, regardless of their type, as long as they could fit in his mouth, he ate them all.
Lingzhi, snow soul grass, poria...
He was like a machine, swallowing the spirit plants one by one. The image of the Heaven Devouring Martial Spirit enveloped his body, and the effects of the spirit plants were instantly converted into the tiny specks of Primordial Energy in his meridians.
Soon, the entire tray of spirit plants was in Yuan Feng's stomach. He adjusted his breathing for a moment and then excitedly opened his eyes.
"Great, very great. In just a short while, my meridians have almost doubled in thickness. If others knew, they would be scared to death!"
Looking inward again, he no longer focused on the increase in Primordial Energy. Compared to the thickening of the meridians, the increase in Primordial Energy seemed insignificant.
Feeling the continuous thickening of his meridians, Yuan Feng felt a sense of elation. With the help of the Heaven Devouring Martial Spirit, his future cultivation would be like having a cheat code. Now, all he lacked was time. As long as he had enough time, it wouldn't matter about advancing to the innate realm, even breaking through the innate realm and becoming a powerful Core Formation martial artist would be possible!
"Huh? My injuries..."
In his excitement, Yuan Feng also noticed that the pain in his forehead and arm had completely disappeared. He pulled off the bandages and touched the injured areas, finding not even a scar.
"Wow, it seems the Heaven Devouring Martial Spirit not only converted these spirit plants into Primordial Energy but also maximized their medicinal effects. This time, I really hit the jackpot."
Jumping off the bed, he moved his body. The thickening of his meridians and Primordial Energy made him feel full of strength.
"With my status, the spirit plants and supplements I can use each month are not limited to these. After collecting this month's share, my martial talent will likely surpass many so-called geniuses! And my Primordial Energy will likely break through to the Third Level of the Condensing Primordial Realm!" His eyes narrowed, and at this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
