LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 202 - Siblings (part 4)
After assisting so many people through the dangerous period following the consumption of cultivation potential enhancement potions, Mai Dongzi had closely observed the changes in their bodies.
As a result, she came up with a bold idea. Since Zixuan wanted to use the opportunity of taking the cultivation potential enhancement potion to restore his mid-level sixth-stage gold-type ability, she considered the possibility of taking a risk by consuming two energy potions at once.
Although it was risky, Mai Dongzi was confident about it. However, if Zixuan weren’t her biological brother, she would never have suggested it.
After all, generally speaking, consuming two energy potions at once could lead to serious issues. But if someone could help him expend the excess energy in his body, it wouldn’t cause any major problems.
Mai Dongzi’s adventurous idea was to have Zixuan drink two bottles of energy potions first, followed by the ability enhancement potion for cultivation potential.
Previously, the people Mai Dongzi had assisted all took one bottle of energy potion first and then the cultivation potential enhancement potion.
As soon as Zixuan heard Mai Dongzi’s suggestion, he immediately agreed.
He knew his sister’s personality. Although she said it was a bit adventurous, if she asked him to do this, she must have already found a solution. It was just that it hadn’t been tested yet, so she didn’t have a 100% guarantee.
After making the decision, the siblings entered the cultivation room.
Mai Dongzi’s approach proved correct. Zixuan’s mindset was high enough, and he didn’t have the bottleneck of a level six barrier. Under the powerful energy impact of the energy potion, he only needed twenty minutes to overcome the side effects of the cultivation potential enhancement potion.
During this process, his cultivation level rapidly increased, rising little by little through each small level.
When his momentum stabilized, Zixuan’s gold-type ability not only restored to the mid-level of rank six, but his martial artist level also surged to the late-stage of rank four, thanks to the “boost.”
As Zixuan adjusted and solidified his cultivation, Mai Dongzi extended her mental power outside the cultivation room and “saw” a large group of men rushing into the outer chamber of the cultivation room.
These dozen or so men weren’t just cold-faced; their eyes were filled with killing intent, and they were furious, as if they wanted to break down the door.
Zixuan was in a delicate situation right now and shouldn’t be disturbed, or it would take him more time to consolidate his cultivation. Seeing that two of them were trying to force their way in, Mai Dongzi used her mental power to “suppress” those attempting to break the door.
The two men suddenly seemed to be bound by something and couldn’t move an inch. Their stunned expressions alerted the others, but facing the invisible mental attack, even the highest-ranking seventh-level martial artist among them couldn’t do anything.
“Zixuan has successfully leveled up. He is now consolidating his cultivation. Please don’t disturb him.” Mai Dongzi left this message in their ears using her mental energy.
She didn’t want to make enemies with these people, nor did she want them to make any impulsive moves out of excessive worry, which could make her relationship with them awkward.
After all, these people were part of the network her original self’s mother had left behind for her. According to Zixuan, for all these years, the mercenary group had been supported by these people.
Although Mai Dongzi had no particular thoughts about them, she didn’t want to create conflict with them and make things difficult for Zixuan.
Mai Dongzi suspected that these dozen or so people had probably heard about Zixuan secretly taking risks and rushed over in a hurry to stop him.
When they were discussing this matter earlier, it was in the living room. It was possible that the guards or servants overheard it and informed the mercenary group.
It was likely that when the mercenary group learned of the situation, Zixuan had already entered the meditation room and closed himself off. Unable to contact him through fast communication, they had come here in a rush.
Zixuan and she were in the meditation room in seclusion. Unless they violently broke open the door of the meditation room, no one could get in. That was why they were trying to break the door.
However, Mai Dongzi’s mental energy “circled” around the person who had taken out the blasting gun and was trying to break in. She felt that something was off with this person.
The blasting gun had very strong explosive power. If he fired it, the door of the meditation room would either be shattered or make a huge noise.
Such a loud sound would easily startle anyone inside the meditation room, especially a cultivator in seclusion at a critical stage of advancement. Such a shock could easily lead the cultivator to go into a state of deviation.
The weapon that the other person had taken out was different. It was specifically designed to break the locking mechanism of the meditation room door. Although it was a bit more laborious to use, the advantage was that it wouldn’t make too much noise and wouldn’t easily disturb the person inside, who was engrossed in their cultivation.
By comparing the two, Mai Dongzi immediately felt that the person with the blasting gun was suspicious.
After carefully “observing” with her mental energy, Mai Dongzi was further convinced that this person was in a hurry to open the meditation room door, but there was malice in his eyes. He didn’t just worry like the others, but seemed to have ill intentions.
Therefore, Mai Dongzi released the person holding the unlocking tool but continued to tightly restrain the one with the blasting gun using her mental energy.
With Mai Dongzi’s calming influence, the people outside the meditation room became a little quieter. They soon realized that of the two people who had tried to break down the door, one had been released, and the other was still firmly controlled.
When they noticed some of the crowd starting to stir again, stirred by a person with ulterior motives, Mai Dongzi used her mental energy to send a message, urging them to take a look at the weapon the man was holding. The group then quieted down again, eyeing the still-restrained man with uncertainty.
Meanwhile, Zixuan remained unaware of the confrontation outside. He had successfully consolidated his cultivation and happily jumped up when he opened his eyes.
To avoid any conflict, Mai Dongzi had instructed Zixuan to leave the meditation room first. As expected, when the others saw him, their faces initially showed disbelief, followed by wild joy.
“Young Master, you… you’ve advanced an entire level!”
“Young Master’s cultivation potential should now be at least 2S, right?”
“Ah, Young Master’s cousin is only eighteen, but I didn’t expect her to really be that powerful!”
“Sister, Uncle Jiang and the others are just too concerned about me. They didn’t mean to offend you,” Zixuan said solemnly.
Then, he turned to the group of people and said, “This is my cousin, the closest relative I have in this world. I trust her completely.”
Zixuan emphasized the word “completely,” clearly declaring Mai Dongzi’s important position in his heart.
Two days ago, Zixuan had formally introduced Mai Dongzi to these people. On the surface, they were very polite and courteous toward this suddenly appearing cousin, but everyone knew they wouldn’t accept her so easily.
After experiencing Mai Dongzi’s powerful mental energy suppression today, they had deeply realized that this cousin’s combat power was stronger than all of them combined, and she was definitely a young genius they had to look up to.
Moreover, with her help, their young master had made a leap of three levels in cultivation, advancing to a mid-level sixth-grade practitioner at only eighteen years old.
Their attitude toward Mai Dongzi had completely changed. They all bowed and saluted her, saying, “Cousin, thank you, and we apologize for our previous behavior.”
