Chapter 282 Illusion 3

"Hmph, I bet she's hiding. Does she think we can't find her like that?" another woman said viciously.

"That's right, finding her is incredibly easy. She's just a useless piece of trash who can't cultivate."

"I don't know how she still has the nerve to live in this world. If it were me, I would have found a place to commit suicide long ago!" The man's face was full of disdain, and his tone was full of malice.

Hiding near the stone tablet, Gu Xinyan heard these words and felt a sense of foreboding. It seemed that these people would not give up until they found her today. Just as she was wondering what to do...

Suddenly, a clear bell sound came from not far away. As soon as the sound rang out, those who had been shouting that they would dig three feet into the ground fell silent instantly, and their faces showed expressions of fear.

"It's Lady Hongyun's bell. Hurry up, don't let her find out we're bullying that good-for-nothing again, or we'll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing the familiar sound of the bell, one of them spoke softly, his voice trembling slightly.

"Yes, hurry, let's go! Lady Hongyu is not someone we can afford to offend. This little good-for-nothing is lucky! It seems we can only wait for another time."

As they spoke, the group hurriedly left the alley. After they had all left, Gu Xinyan emerged from the shadows.

However, as she looked in the direction those people left, she couldn't help but feel puzzled. How did another Lady Hongyun appear? And these people clearly looked very afraid of that Lady Hongyun.

After thinking for a long time, she felt that it was getting more and more brain-burning. Forget it, she decided to figure out the stone tablet first.

So she didn't hesitate any longer and continued the action she had just finished, which was to wipe away the dust on the stone tablet.

As the dust was cleared away, the runes on the stone tablet became clearer and clearer, and those runes had a fatal attraction, constantly drawing Gu Xinyan in.

Just as Gu Xinyan was engrossed in studying the runes on the strange stone tablet, the runes suddenly began to move rapidly, and the next second, she was pulled into the stone tablet.

Gu Xinyan: "........."

It's truly astonishing how unlucky people can be; even drinking plain water can cause problems. However, when she finally saw what was happening around her, her eyes widened in disbelief.

It was because, although he was in complete darkness, this place was not just endless darkness.

,

There are also seven tiny dots of light in different colors, densely packed together, like a sky full of stars, which is very beautiful and dazzling.

However, those 'stars' seemed to have noticed her as an outsider. After a slight pause, they quickly moved closer to her.

Originally, these 'stars' were normal, but as the distance closed, they seemed to go crazy, rushing to burrow into Gu Xinyan's body.

Completely helpless, Gu Xinyan could only watch as she was swallowed up by those unknown 'stars'.

Gu Xinyan: "........."

Sure enough, she felt like a moving beehive, and these 'stars,' which were little bees, were all rushing towards her. It must be like they had come home.

However, just as she was complaining, Gu Xinyan suddenly felt a warm current flowing into her body.

These seemingly tiny specks of light transformed into pure spiritual energy the moment they entered her body, and are now circulating throughout her meridians.

Furthermore, those points of light seemed to be conscious, and even knew to find their companions.

And so, the different colored spiritual energy points, the instant they entered her body, quickly found their main force and began to patrol various parts of her body.

Gu Xinyan: "........."

This is really ridiculous. This body belongs to me now, okay? And you guys have turned around and become the masters?

When this unexpected event first occurred, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to withstand the sudden force.

But to her surprise, as time went on, she found that she not only did not feel any discomfort at all.

On the contrary, he felt comfortable all over. Even his body, which he couldn't absorb spiritual energy no matter how he cultivated before, was now miraculously breaking through.

'Clang!'

With that sound, Gu Xinyan felt her cultivation level soar like a rocket, from the first level of Qi Refining to the second level, the third level... and finally, the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

'Clang!'

Another thought struck her: she had actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage, finally settling firmly at the fifth level before stopping.

Gu Xinyan: "........."

This is similar to when she took the divine-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill; her cultivation level rose like a rocket, only the difference is that her body has not undergone marrow cleansing and tendon strengthening this time.

Feeling the spiritual energy flowing through my body, that long-lost sense of control returned.

This feeling of power was just different, but before she could enjoy it for long, a sharp pain suddenly shot through her without warning.

The excruciating pain surged through Gu Xinyan's body like a tidal wave, causing her to groan involuntarily. She bit her lower lip tightly, resisting the sudden onslaught.

However, what she was really thinking was, could it be the light spots that entered her body causing this? Weren't these light spots pure spiritual energy that had materialized? Was she just overthinking it?

However, just as she was wondering what was going on, the pain intensified again, truly like a marrow cleansing and tendon-strengthening process. She had just been marveling at it, but now she was experiencing it firsthand.

But damn it, she took a divine-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill back then, and it didn't turn out like this at all.

However, she knew the entire process of using a regular Marrow Cleansing Pill to cleanse the marrow. Had she also experienced the power of the Marrow Cleansing Pill?

The excruciating pain intensified, feeling as if a thousand tiny needles were piercing her very bone marrow, causing her to curl up in agony.

Even so, the points of light outside continued to pour into Gu Xinyan's body.

Gu Xinyan clenched her teeth, large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead, instantly soaking her clothes.

She tried to circulate the spiritual energy she had just acquired to resist the sudden, intense pain, but found that the pain was like a leech clinging to her bone, impossible to dispel.

What the heck is this? Could it be that my guess was wrong? Are these specks of light not just spiritual energy?

Just when she was about to faint from the excruciating pain.

Suddenly, she sensed that the spiritual energy within her body seemed to have undergone some changes.
