Strange, where is Senior Sister Su Sha? Didn't she say she'd come later? It's so late already. Luckily, I received a message from Su Sha Xuan before going to sleep: "I have some things to do, so I won't be coming over yet. Remember to come find me before you leave."

Senior Sister Su Sha's voice sounded a little weak. Could something have happened? She even asked Elder Lianchi. Senior Sister Su Sha had been staying in the library all day. She guessed she had some new insights!

The next morning, after finishing her cultivation, Elder Lianqing arrived with fish porridge, Ye Xiruo's favorite dish. Ye Xiruo ate three bowls before stopping.

"You eat so much, do your brainless fans even know that?"

"How could they possibly know? I always eat secretly behind closed doors by myself. How could they possibly find out? It would be too much of a loss of my image and temperament."

Ye Xiruo spoke with such confidence that Elder Lianqing was speechless.

"If I leave, I will never be able to eat such delicious fish porridge again."

"Please accept my condolences. You are not worthy of any sympathy."

"Enjoying good food is a virtue of the Pill King Palace. Senior Brother also likes to eat, and Master likes all kinds of spiritual wine. Is that wrong?"

"You're right, are you ready?"

Ye Xiruo nodded. Having had the experience of soaking in the medicinal spring in Medicine King Valley before, Ye Xiruo didn't feel much about this lotus pond.

"Follow me." Elder Lianqing led Su Shaxuan out of the courtyard and headed directly towards the Bounty Peak, but stopped ten meters away from the summit of the snow mountain.

There was actually an illusion array here, and the two of them landed directly in front of a cave entrance that was about the height of a person: "The lotus pond is inside. The Holy Maiden has already arranged the lotus pond for your cultivation. You can cultivate with peace of mind."

Elder Lianqing opened several restrictions and led Ye Xiruo inside. After walking about ten steps, the terrain gradually opened up, with more than a dozen forks in the path, large and small. Elder Lianqing led Ye Xiruo into the smallest cave entrance.

After walking for about half an hour, we finally saw the lotus pond.

This lotus pond is exquisite and small, resembling a beautiful lotus flower. Its layers of petals stretch out, lifelike, and in the center is a milky white liquid that exudes a pure energy. In addition, there is a stone table beside the pond.

"We've arrived. Now you can focus on your cultivation. If you reach your limit, come out immediately, or you might explode and die."

"Thank you, Elder, I will."

Elder Lianqing gave Ye Xiruo the key to open the barrier and instructed her, "When you've finished your cultivation, you can come out on your own and send me a message. I will then take you down the mountain."

Ye Xiruo hadn't considered that the lotus pond on Saintess Peak and the medicinal spring in Medicine King Valley were different and could be separated for each disciple to cultivate individually. This prevented any interference between them, which was quite thoughtful.

Ye Xiruo took off her outer clothes and jumped into the pool. Just as she had imagined, it wasn't very deep. Leaning against the pool wall, Ye Xiruo began absorbing the energy from the water. The lotus pool was called a lotus pool because it had absorbed the medicinal properties of the Ten-Leaf Sacred Lotus. Over a hundred years, the Sacred Lotus had transformed into the purest energy, free of impurities, capable of being absorbed by anyone without any side effects or adverse reactions.

In truth, the Lotus Pond is superior to the Medicinal Spring, but Saintess Peak has always been shrouded in mystery, and the Lotus Pond is not widely known. Originally, the Lotus Pond was a sacred place for the Saintess to cultivate, and this has been the case with each generation. However, this generation's Saintess's talent is too extraordinary; she was able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and become a powerful figure in the Integration stage without relying on the energy of the Lotus Pond. Therefore, her status on Saintess Peak has risen considerably, so even though she opened the Lotus Pond to her disciples and even outsiders for cultivation, which was against the rules, the elders did not object much.

After all, the timing was too coincidental. The battle for the Heavenly Ranking was imminent, and even though Saintess Peak had always kept a low profile, it had to participate in such an important event. If it could gain the support of Liu Ming on the Heavenly Ranking, it would be extremely beneficial to the development of Saintess Peak.

The Holy Maiden's profound understanding of righteousness and her sacrifice for her disciples earned her widespread praise throughout Holy Maiden Peak. Her decision to have Ye Xiruo cultivate in the lotus pond was also easily accepted by everyone.

After all, if Ye Xi is a future Divine Master, having a good relationship with such a person will not be detrimental to the future development of Saintess Peak.

This is the sacred ground of Saintess Peak. Who knows if there are any hidden methods monitoring the place? Ye Xiruo stayed inside and cultivated obediently, without asking the system to analyze the composition of the lotus pond or collect some lotus pond water, hoping to replicate it.

On the same day that Ye Xiruo went into seclusion, Shangguan Ling also entered the lotus pond to begin her own seclusion cultivation.

At this moment, Su Sha Xuan was in the library copying books for Wei Ye Xi Ruo, which attracted the attention of the elders and disciples. These things did not seem to be of any benefit to cultivation. Why was Senior Sister Su Sha copying these things?

Senior Sister Shangguan has already gone into seclusion. When she comes out, her strength will definitely be even more terrifying.

"How can you do this to your master?" This voice belonged to Xinzhi, who had troubled Ye Xiruo that day.

Su Shaxuan didn't even look up: "This is my own business, and has nothing to do with the Supreme Elder."

Do you know what the consequences of this will be?

"Of course, I remember the rules of Saintess Peak better than the Supreme Elder."

“You are the most outstanding disciple of this generation, and I don’t want you to ruin your future.”

“I know exactly what I’m doing, so there’s no need for the Supreme Elder to worry.” Su Shaxuan’s words were blunt, and Xin Zhi had no way to deal with them.

Su Shaxuan spent four whole days compiling a list of books that Ye Xiruo might need and handed it over to Elder Lianqing.

"If I am in seclusion, please give this to the young master."

"Thank you for your hard work, go quickly!"

Following Shangguan Ling, Su Shaxuan also announced that she was going into seclusion.

Ye Xiruo spent three days cultivating for the first time, until all the meridians in her body were swollen before she stopped. She climbed out of the lotus pond and began to refine pills. After exhausting her true essence and spiritual power, she jumped back in to continue absorbing.

This process was repeated seven or eight times until the body could no longer absorb any energy, at which point it stopped. It took two days to sort out the true essence. As expected of a spiritual medicine of the Ten-Leaf Sacred Lotus grade, the energy was incredibly pure and easy to absorb, much better than cultivating with high-grade spirit stones, and there was no instability in the foundation.

In just half a month, Ye Xiruo had already reached the edge of the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. Even she herself found this cultivation speed astonishing; perhaps she possessed some special physique, allowing her to level up even faster than her senior brother.
