It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and Chen Kai went home alone after two evening self-study sessions at school. His house was not far from No. 13 Middle School, and it took about ten minutes to get there.

"Mom, I'm back."

Chen Kai walked into a self-selected supermarket in his community, which was run by his mother. At this time, his mother Zhang Liping was sorting out some goods.

"Oh, Xiaokai, you're back. Then go home early to rest. If you're hungry, go to the kitchen to make some food. Mom has to organize the goods on these shelves..."

Zhang Liping looked up at her son and said with a smile.

"Well, mom, then I'll go back first. You should go home early to rest after you finish your work."

Chen Kai nodded and walked towards the building where he lived. He was a child from a single-parent family, his father was a soldier and a special forces soldier, but he died a few years ago because of his mission.

Now, Chen Kai's family relies on the small supermarket opened by his mother Zhang Liping to make a living.

Although she is not financially rich, Chen Kai is very sensible and has good academic performance. He almost never doesn't worry about anything about Zhang Liping, which makes Zhang Liping feel very pleased and full of hope for her son's future.

When he got home, Chen Kai put his schoolbag back to his room, then went to the kitchen to cook some noodles, which was considered a midnight snack. He also kept some for his mother Zhang Liping.

Then I went to the bathroom to take a shower and then went back to the room.

I turned on the desk lamp and reviewed my homework. My mother Zhang Liping didn't come back at about 11 o'clock in the evening.

"Mom, I just cooked some noodles and still had some left. You can eat it." Chen Kai walked out of the room and said to his mother.

"Yeah, OK." Zhang Liping looked up at her son with a gratified smile on her face. Although her husband unfortunately left, having such a sensible son was Zhang Liping's greatest gratitude and satisfaction.

I went back to the room and looked at the time. It was exactly eleven o'clock, so Chen Kai turned off the lights and then went to bed.

However, he did not go to bed directly. After taking off his shirt, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes quietly, and took a standard "five-heart-to-up" position.

Chen Kai is not an ordinary person. He has another identity, that is, a cultivator!

Chen Kai hid his identity very deeply, and even his mother Zhang Liping didn't know at all.

The reason why Chen Kai was able to achieve such good academic performance was certainly because he was smart and hardworking, but it was also indispensable for the benefits that his cultivation made him clear-headed and his memory were amazing.

Chen Kai's bed happened to be next to the window. It was late at night, and the faint starry and moonlight shone on Chen Kai from the window. Chen Kai, whose eyes were slightly closed, quickly entered the state of cultivation...

Straws of starry and moon light seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force, and gradually came towards Chen Kai who was sitting on the bed, and slowly began to penetrate into Chen Kai's body through the pores of his skin, causing a faint silver halo to appear on the surface of Chen Kai's body, and the quiet room was filled with a mysterious aura.

At the same time, some faint light spots that were completely unaware of by the naked eye were also slowly pouring into Chen Kai's body. These faint light spots are the so-called spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

What Chen Kai practiced was a top-level cultivation technique called the "Stars and Ten Thousand Transformations Art". This technique can not only absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth like other cultivation techniques, but also absorb and refine the power of stars. It is extremely magical and far beyond the reach of ordinary cultivation techniques!

Time passes.

As more and more starlight and spiritual energy of heaven and earth penetrated into Chen Kai's body through his pores, his muscles, including bones, internal organs, meridians, etc. gradually began to show a very faint silver halo.

At the same time, strands of force slowly penetrated into the meridians from Chen Kai's muscles, and then quickly gathered into a very subtle airflow.

As soon as the "qi flow" appears, it begins to slowly flow in the meridians. This "qi flow" is the true qi condensed by Chen Kai!

The true qi was running in Chen Kai's meridians, but when the true qi gradually surged to the meridian below Chen Kai's neck, the true qi was very abrupt and disappeared without any warning, as if the true qi had never appeared before...

“Well…”

After a while, Chen Kai exhaled a breath gently, and his closed eyes trembled and slowly opened. Deep in his eyes, two faint silver halos gradually disappeared.

"Oh." A sighed slightly, a feeling of disappointment appeared on Chen Kai's face, and then he said to himself: "It's still not possible. I don't know what's going on. Every time I just condensed my true energy, it will disappear for no reason before it has run over a large circle."

"My cultivation has been stuck in the foundation building for a whole month. Logically speaking, a month ago, after I completely completed the foundation building, my cultivation should have naturally broken through to the 'qi condensation stage', but I have not been able to break through until now, and my cultivation is still stuck in the state of the foundation building for a perfect foundation building."

Chen Kai frowned slightly, obviously a little dissatisfied with his situation, and was also puzzled and worried.

"Maybe this is a bottleneck for me! However, no matter what, the college entrance examination will be on a month left. I will know when I go back and ask my master, and I won't be in a hurry for this moment."

After thinking about this, Chen Kai's eyebrows stretched out again.

Thinking of his master, Chen Kai suddenly missed him a little and couldn't help but murmur: "I don't know if Master's health is good recently?"

After saying that, Chen Kai couldn't help but show a look of worry on his face. Although his master is also a real cultivator, his master's health is not good, or to be more precise, it is very bad. In his master's own words, it is "staying breathing" and "the oil is gone and the lamp is gone"...

As a cultivator, he should have lived a healthy and long life and remained forever. However, Chen Kai's master was seriously injured and had been barely alive.

The injuries suffered by Master Chen Kai were obviously not ordinary injuries. Otherwise, with the means of a cultivator, how could he not be able to improve at all for so many years, and his situation was getting worse and worse.

"Last time I went back during the winter vacation, my master said that he was not long after his life, and at most he only had a year and a half years left. I hope my master can hold on for more time and let me accompany him..."

Chen Kai sighed silently, with a little sad expression. If he had not met his master eight years ago, he would not have embarked on the path of "cultivation". Although his master has been living in the countryside for many years, Chen Kai would go back to the countryside every winter and summer vacation to practice with his master.
