Her heart beat faster and she subconsciously withdrew her true energy, leaving only a trace of consciousness to observe carefully, for fear of disturbing anything.

The next second, she "saw" an incredible scene - a piece of illusory lotus root as white and tender as jade actually broke out of the ground in Li Wei's half-open lower dantian!

Three hundred and sixty roots as thin as hair greedily sucked the boiling blood and energy in Li Wei's body.

With sufficient "nutrients" supplied, lotus roots grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. The nodes grow taller, the leaves stretch out, and the tender stems extend upward firmly as if they have life.

In just a few breaths, a tender green lotus leaf emerged from the half-open middle dantian. It was weak and illusory, but it revealed an indescribable sense of comfort.

Jiang Xinyue's scalp went numb, and a guess so bold that even she couldn't believe it came to her mind.

[This girl, could it be that she has to reach the first level...?]

She held her breath, not daring to breathe.

As expected, the roots that grew to the middle dantian did not stop at all, and continued upward, "piercing" straight into Li Wei's eyebrows like a sharp sword.

"Boo!"

After a slight cracking sound.

In Li Wei's half-open upper dantian sea of ​​consciousness, a delicate flower bud broke through the chaos and poked its head out.

The green calyx loosened, turned into specks of light, and merged into the void.

In an instant, the dark space was illuminated by a crystal light, and a flawless white lotus petal slowly stretched out and swayed gracefully in the chaos.

Almost at the same time, an indescribable clear and subtle fragrance emanated from Li Wei's body, instantly filling the entire courtyard.

The grass and trees in the yard are growing wildly, and the buds on the pomegranate trees are blooming instantly, full of vitality.

Jiang Xinyue sniffed the fragrance, her body stiffened, and her face was full of shock and disbelief.

[First-level "Sea of ​​Consciousness Jade Lotus"? How... is this possible?]

After two or three minutes, the rapid growth of the surrounding plants finally subsided.

The originally quiet and elegant courtyard was now in a mess with the floor tiles lifted up and the walls cracked.

In the knee-high flowers, Li Wei slowly opened her almond-shaped eyes. The severe pain in her body had long since subsided, and her body had regained its freedom.

She stood up lightly, tried to swing her fists and kick her legs, and the power in her every move was completely different.

She felt that if she was able to break down walls before, now she could basically demolish the small Western-style building!

Moreover, there is a mysterious and gentle power in the body, which blends with one's own qi and blood, becoming inseparable.

She looked at the panel eagerly.

[Name: Li Wei/Li Wei]

[Realm: Warrior, First-level Membrane Realm]

[Qi and Blood (Special Effect: Purification): 500/500 (1 Essence Replenishes 100 Qi and Blood)]

[Battle Method: First String: Cold Pond Sinking Jade Minor Achievement 0/1000 (+)]

[Heart Sutra: "Taiyin Jade Lotus Treasure Scroll" One Lotus Petal 5000/(+); omitted]

[Abyss Essence: 212]

Ah, this...

[There's a special effect behind Qi and Blood. Is this what grandma meant by "bonus"? ]

[Also, there's no way to increase the HP limit? Essence can only be used to replenish consumption?]

[Could it be that the advancement of realm requires additional skills? ]

[Also, in the "Taiyin Jade Lotus Treasure Scroll," why does a single lotus petal start out with 5,000 "experience"? Weird...]

She wanted to give it a try, so she put a little essence into the "Taiyin Yulian Baolu".

[Heart Sutra: "Taiyin Jade Lotus Treasure Scroll" 5001/(+)]

[Abyssal Essence: 212 → 211]

[Qi and Blood (Special Effect: Purification): 500/500.1]

Staring at the changes after the decimal point of the upper limit of Qi and Health, Li Wei's spirits lifted. [Sure enough!]

[Also, didn't they say this technique doesn't have any bonuses before level 6? Then, where does the Qi and Blood effect come from...]

She couldn't help but look inward again, her "gaze" falling on the illusory white lotus with a single petal blooming in the center of her sea of ​​consciousness. The corners of her mouth twitched twice, and she subconsciously raised her hand to touch her forehead.

"Stop touching it, just look at it yourself..." Jiang Xinyue handed over the phone.

Li Wei took it, unlocked it, turned on the camera, and switched to the front camera.

Then, the screen clearly showed that a white lotus petal emitting a holy and hazy glow had appeared on her forehead. It was lifelike and seemed to be created by nature.

Curiously, she rubbed it gently with her fingers, and felt a smooth and delicate touch at her fingertips, no different from the surrounding skin. But if she felt it carefully, she could clearly feel a sense of closeness as if they were connected by blood. She could even "touch" it with her mind, causing it to sway and expand slightly.

Li Wei's shoulders slumped, and she wilted. "Fuck, I have to wear this thing every time I go out? That's too effeminate, isn't it?"

"What?" Jiang Xinyue snatched back her phone, her voice a little dry. "I got a huge advantage, but then they demolished my yard, and I still wronged you?"

Li Wei only then noticed the mess around them. She scratched her head a little embarrassedly and laughed dryly, "No, it's just that there's an extra petal on my forehead. I'm not used to it for a while."

"Then just get used to it slowly..."

Jiang Xinyue kicked the wooden recliner that had sprouted new buds, was silent for a moment, and simply sat cross-legged among the flowers. Her red dress bloomed among the colorful flowers, like a blooming Lycoris radiata, enchanting and beautiful.

Seeing this, Li Wei followed suit and sat cross-legged across from Jiang Xinyue. She asked cautiously, "Grandma, what's going on? Didn't they say that one needs to be at the sixth level to awaken the natal lotus?"

Jiang Xinyue took a deep breath, resisted the urge to beat someone up, and said unhappily:
