Chapter 27
During the two long years, Meng Li helped Xie Ja continue working by taking care of Ye Jian when his parents were out gathering herbs . After all, the money he gained from selling the rare spiritual herb wouldn't last forever, and Ye Jian couldn't support his entire family by himself no matter how hard he worked . Ye Jian also didn't ask him about his work - he knew that Meng Li was doing fine and didn't try to intrude on his life . He seemed to accept that Meng Li had his secrets .
However, Meng Li was saddened by Ye Jian - he noticed that Ye Jian was still avoiding him . The now three years old reincarnator had found a spot in the forest near the town where he hid all day . Meng Li kept watch over him with Spiritual Sense, but so far, Ye Jian was able to take care of all the dangers he encountered by himself . In fact, Meng Li had teleported over to Ye Jian several times where the situation seemed to be quite dire, but Ye Jian was able to resolve the situation by himself every time . In one case, Ye Jian fought off a fourth layer Qi Gathering beast while he himself only had a cultivation of the third layer . . . The battle was quite intense, and Meng Li put up a simple barrier to avoid alerting the town lord . He wasn't quite sure whether Ye Jian noticed, but he had a feeling that he did .
The place Ye Jian picked was a small valley with a cliff closing one end . The valley had a small stream flowing through it, from above the cliff . The waterfall created a small, but deep lake near the bottom of the cliff . Ye Jian was usually cultivating there, but Meng Li noticed several times as Ye Jian practiced the sword on the rocks in the stream . Although they were above the water, they were still wet and it was extremely hard to get a grip on them since the rocks themselves were quite slimy . However, Ye Jian could practice an entire sword routine without falling in .
Meng Li was quite surprised by Ye Jian as he practiced - even though he was only using a tree branch during the practice, to Meng Li, every swing of the branch seemed like it could cleave rocks . Meng Li didn't have any idea how that was happening, and he made up his mind to ask Ye Jian after he was ready to talk .
A few more years had passed . Ye Jian was now seven years old, though he only acted like a child his age near his parents . Meng Li was satisfied, as he could see that Ye Jian did really love his parents - which was one of his worries in the previous years . He still kept contact with Ye Jin, though they had grown distant throughout the years . Meng Li mostly cultivated by himself at home . He didn't have to help Xie Ja and Ye Jin with Ye Jian anymore, as they simply let him go around as he pleased . Ye Jian had broken through a few times and was now at the 6th layer of Qi Gathering . He was now stronger than the town lord and could, as such, hide his cultivation . Meng Li also made progress . He had completed the pillars reinforcing specific organs in his torso - the spleen, pancreas, gall bladder, and the bladder . He also created pillars to support his sensory organs - the two eyes, the nose, the tongue, and ears . As well, the most important organ of all - the brain .
That last pillar was quite an important one . Meng Li could sense that his thinking speed was increased, his control over his Qi, body, Spiritual Sense, and aura was increased as well . Supporting the brain basically gave a boost to everything the brain was responsible for - including memories . Meng Li was quite sure that a pillar supporting the brain was practically a must for all cultivators who did things requiring the brain - like creating artifacts, pills, formations, etc .
In total, Meng Li built another nine pillars . However, despite logic telling him that he had supported everything he could, something was still telling him that it was not all . Something, maybe his instincts, told him that if he tried to move on and merge his pillars, he would regret it in the future . Thus, Meng Li didn't . However, the nagging feeling in the back of his mind irritated him, and urged him to find the answer to the question as soon as possible . Thus, Meng Li naturally thought about entering seclusion - however, he didn't want to leave until he communicated with Ye Jian . Unable to find an answer, he suddenly had a crazy thought .
'If in the control room, the time in the world passes a thousand times faster, can I change the scale? Like, pause the world entirely?!' This idea came to him like a bolt from the blue . He couldn't help but ask the system .
[Absolutely . ]
The system's answer was emotionless, as though it was stating something extremely obvious . Meng Li wanted to slam his head against the wall, but he decided not to, since doing so would certainly destroy his little house . His body was far too strong at the moment . . .
A few minutes after learning of this, Meng Li saw no problem with the idea and teleported into the control room after he confirmed with the system that as soon as he entered, time would be frozen . When he entered, the first thing he did was dive into his consciousness and scan the globe in there . It was true - the world was paused . He could see birds mid-flight, their bodies frozen in the position they were as he entered . Without looking at the world's best freeze challenge anymore, Meng Li sunk into cultivation . He wanted to test something .

His first few pillars were reinforcing specific parts of his body, including his torso . He could tell that when he did so, the connection increased the abilities of his specific internal organs, but not as much as supporting them individually . This meant that if he supported a larger part of his body, he could also support smaller parts of it - this could, theoretically, go to the point of reinforcing specific cells . It was a crazy idea and Meng Li loved it .
So, he jumped into action . He already had enough solidified Qi to create a new pillar . He chose to support his right fist . It was an arbitrary decision, but it would still tell him whether his idea was correct .
