Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 179: Scumbag?

"Humph! I won’t forgive you!" Li Mei sulked while burying her sulky face in a pillow.

At the same time she felt lost.

In this very room her senior brother bullied her every day, forcibly slept beside her, teased her, and so on.

Now that he suddenly went back to his room, she felt empty.

The most infuriating thing was he stole her first kiss before doing this.

"Scoundrel! Scumbag!"

She cursed while punching the pillow.

He only knew how to make her anxious. Won’t it be good if he just eats her? She didn’t like so many ups and downs.

However, no one could hear complaints, and she could only sulk silently.

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly her door was knocked.

Li Mei did not know why, but her heart fluttered like a butterfly and a sense of happiness welled up in her heart.

But the next moment—

"Sister Li Mei, are you inside? It’s me, Wang Yiyi."

Shatter.

Something inside her broke.

"Jerk! Scum! Despicable!!!"

"Sister Li Mei??"

...

...

...

"Uh, what do you want to ask?" Lan Ming inquired with a strange look as she recalled a certain night in the azure pavilion.

There was no helping, as just a while ago Jing Xiao said little girls are not allowed to know this.

What could be expected that night?

Feeling her gaze, Jing Xiao’s heart was bleeding.

However, she pretended not to notice.

"I want to inquire about some treatments specific to females only..." Jing Xiao explained.

Hearing this, Lan Ming understood she had gotten it wrong and stuck out her little tongue before explaining.

...

...

Inside the void pearl, Ye Chen remained unaware of such events, completely engrossed in comprehending both techniques.

It didn’t take too long and within an hour he was done.

Now came the merging part, which was not something that could be comprehended.

There was only one way to merge cultivation techniques and that was to try practically.

He did not hesitate and started breathing spiritual qi.

Seeing his actions, Long Ruxue sat up and curiously observed him.

She wanted to see if he could really merge the cultivation techniques together or not.

However, when she observed his breathing technique, she became puzzled; there wasn’t even a single step from the two cultivation techniques he had extorted from her.

Which meant he was using his previous cultivation technique and it was just as she guessed.

Ye Chen did not hurry to merge; he first observed his body and started to deduce what would happen if he changed the steps.

He was fearless, but that doesn’t mean he was stupid.

His current achievements in cultivation were something he could not copy even if he could live again so he was careful and cautious.

It did not take too long and he deduced the results.

The process of merging cultivation techniques was chaotic; if he lost control, he would lose all of his cultivation and in the worst case, he would become a cripple.

But clearly he did not care about danger as long as there was a way to achieve it.

He did not hesitate anymore and started changing his breathing techniques.

Swoosh!

The spiritual qi beside him suddenly became chaotic.

Seeing this, Long Ruxue narrowed her eyes.

For humans, such an occurrence meant failure but for dragons it was different.

Their bloodline can gather spiritual qi on their own and it uses their whole body as a medium to do this.

Which meant every pore was breathing and exhaling spiritual qi, which led to such a chaotic occurrence.

Ye Chen was not a dragon, but he was in a similar condition as his divine dragon blood and nine-dragon heart started breathing spiritual qi.

There was just a tiny difference and that was that he had to control this manually. He was not a dragon after all.

After seeing there was no problem with this step, he moved to cycling the spiritual qi. The dragons not only cycled their spiritual qi through their whole body but also through their scales.

Ye Chen did not have any scales and he did not want to create them yet, so he skipped the scale part and started merging the two cultivation techniques into his own.

The cycle of spiritual qi was extremely important, as it could nourish and strengthen the body in various ways.

The first cycle was none other than the qi-gathering first stage.

He was already at the ninth stage; nonetheless, he could still cycle his spiritual qi from the first stage.

This was the advantage of having a high-grade cultivation technique. Of course, no matter how high-grade it was, it couldn’t fix major mistakes made at previous stages so relying on it was useless.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The spiritual qi near his body became more chaotic as he started cycling his spiritual qi through a new path.

He was a spiritual mountain; hence, he did not have to worry about qi becoming violent. All he had to do now was nourish and strengthen his new path.

It sounded easy but the difficulty was high.

Especially since it involved crucial parts such as the heart, eyes, dantian, ears, and so on.

Just one mistake and he will be seriously injured.

Witnessing his actions, Long Ruxue remained silent.

The real difficulty of merging techniques was not just this; there was even more to come.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

As Ye Chen forged a new path in his body, his dantian started to tremble.

Although he was merging his cultivation technique, it differed a lot from the original. It could either have good effects or bad effects.

The most surprising thing was that bad effects would not affect him negatively; they would just make his foundation a bit shaky.

However, a good effect meant an increase in strength, which was risky.

He, after all, had already broken through the first stage of qi-gathering, which meant he had already defined a limit for this stage.

It was similar to constructing a building. After finishing the first floor and second floor, you can’t just change the height or size of the first floor, right?

Of course cultivation was different; some things just couldn’t be comprehended normally.

However, it did not mean everything would be smooth.

Especially since what Ye Chen wanted to do was completely re-construct the first stage of qi-gathering without affecting later stages.

Certainly the easiest way was to abandon the increase in strength by changing a few steps.

He had already cultivated to the ninth stage after all, so as long as he could merge the cultivation technique to the ninth stage, it would be enough even if there were some small problems.

Anyway, he could fix anything he wanted here since he had not broken through.

However, Ye Chen was greedy; he wanted more strength so he did not hesitate and started reconstructing his first stage.

’Lunatic! He is a lunatic!’

Long Ruxue could no longer remain calm.
