She was in her familiar bed, and her clothes were unchanged. The only difference was her body; she had gone from a skinny bean sprout to a tender tofu. Although she was still extremely thin, her skin looked much fairer and smoother. How was she going to explain this to Aunt Wang? Ye Xiruo rested her head in her hands, somewhat troubled.

And why didn't that book of murder weapons come out with me?

"You can use your mental power to read the 'Compendium of Myriad Medicines'," the system kindly suggested. "Because your performance was barely passable, you are rewarded with a basic cultivation technique called 'Myriad Wood Technique'."

Ye Xiruo quickly focused her mind and indeed found that the golden gourd in her sea of ​​consciousness had transformed into countless small squares. Two of these squares contained two cultivation manuals.

Without hesitation, Ye Xiruo first went to read the "Ten Thousand Wood Techniques". Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. Cultivating immortality and preserving one's life is the most important thing!

Holding her breath, Ye Xiruo finished reading the cultivation technique. Her eyes sparkled. Amazing! Just a basic technique, yet it could not only improve her physique, gradually transforming it into a Qingyang physique, but she was unaware that she originally possessed a top-tier Qingyang physique, only that it had been sealed away. The wood-elemental technique could not only heal injuries, but also make farming twice as efficient!

Although she really wanted to start cultivating now, it was obviously unrealistic. What if Aunt Wang came over? How would she explain? She'd better wait until evening, when she entered the space, right next to the pool; that way, her cultivation should be faster!

Just then, she seemed to hear footsteps in the courtyard. Ye Xiruo quickly lay down. What should she do? What should she do? Her changes were too drastic.

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu." Aunt Wang's voice was a mix of urgency and excitement. Had something happened?

"Aunt Wang, I'm here."

Aunt Wang pushed open the door and entered, carrying a bamboo basket as usual. Needless to say, it contained food for Ye Xiruo.

"Hey, Xiao Liu, you look much better." Aunt Wang said, touching Ye Xiruo's fair and delicate hand with admiration.

Ye Xiru coughed twice, which made her feel much better: "It's like this, Aunt Wang, I found a pill in a secret compartment in my father's study. I accidentally ate it, and now I feel warm all over, and my wounds have healed."

"You were lucky this time, but you must never do that again. Not to mention that some pills are poisonous, pills are for immortals; if we eat them, our bodies will explode. Silly girl, you absolutely must not get into trouble."

Ye Xi nodded vigorously, feeling wonderful that someone cared about her.

"Look, you've been so busy talking that you must be starving! Eat while it's hot!" Aunt Wang took out a bowl of steamed egg custard, half a braised fish, a piece of meat, a small plate of pickles, and a bowl of rice from her basket.

Ye Xiruo rubbed her fingers together, realizing how lavish the meal was today. Then she felt a little embarrassed, as the people here didn't seem wealthy: "Aunt Wang has gone to so much trouble."

"What are you saying, silly girl? Your brother Tiesheng came back from the sect yesterday with a lot of game. Auntie was so busy that she couldn't come over yesterday. Eat up!"

Ye Xiruo finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was so glad she didn't have to explain why she wasn't there. Then she began to feast, and by the end of the meal, she was stuffed again.

After a few meals, she realized that Aunt Wang's cooking skills were only average; it was probably due to the ingredients, but everything became delicious with just simple processing. It seemed she was in for a treat.

"Does Brother Tiesheng have a mission this time?" Liu Tiesheng is one of only two people in the village with spiritual roots who have entered the immortal sect. Although he is an outer disciple, he is still not allowed to go down the mountain at will.

"I heard that Luoxia Valley issued a quest, which is located in the back mountain of our area. Tiesheng accepted it and came back to visit me and my husband."

"Aunt Wang is a lucky woman, and things will only get better from now on."

Finally, night fell. Ye Xiruo closed the doors and windows, then flashed into her spatial dimension. She plopped down beside the spring, assumed a posture, and began cultivating. The first step was called "Guiding Qi into the Body," which involved circulating spiritual energy throughout her body's meridians, forming a cycle. Once this cycle was completed, the subsequent cultivation would be simple.

"Spiritual energy!" Ye Xiruo desperately sensed, circulating her magic incantation and attempting to absorb the tiny green specks she had finally managed to sense into her body. A quarter of an hour later, the hair-thin spiritual energy finally got on track and began to travel according to the route described in the "Ten Thousand Wood Technique."

The human body contains countless meridians, and the difference in quality between cultivation techniques lies solely in the number of meridians opened. The more meridians opened, the faster the cultivation speed and the better the physical strength. The cultivation technique provided by the system first opens thirty-six major acupoints throughout the body, the second one hundred and eight medium acupoints, and the third one hundred and sixty minor acupoints. Each time an acupoint is opened, strength increases. Finally, all acupoints are connected, forming a perfect internal cycle.

Ye Xiruo's hair-thin spiritual energy was exhausted before she could even open a single acupoint, dissipating throughout her body. Ye Xiruo closed her eyes, made a hand seal, and continued. She didn't have time; it was all or nothing.

Gradually, Ye Xiruo's cultivation speed increased, and she drew in more spiritual energy, which fiercely impacted her acupoints. Although each impact was excruciatingly painful, Ye Xiruo's speed continued to increase. If one stream of spiritual energy wasn't enough, she would use three; if three streams weren't enough, she would use ten.

An hour later, the first acupoint was finally opened, and spiritual energy rushed through, heading towards another acupoint. Throughout the night, Ye Xiruo opened five acupoints, and her overall energy and spirit soared. Her dark eyes shone brightly, captivating all who looked at her.

Standing up, feeling the power coursing through her body, Ye Xiruo smiled. Her face was still youthful, but her aura was already undeniable.

"Alright, it's time to go back." Ye Xiruo flashed away from the space as dawn broke.

Ye Xiruo jumped out of the window and climbed onto the roof, staring intently at the distant gray-white sky. At the turn of day and night, a thin layer of chaotic energy would appear; cultivating using this chaotic energy would yield twice the results with half the effort. Ye Xiruo naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass her by.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, the eastern sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, and the grayish-white chaotic energy, appearing as a thin mist, slowly dissipated. Ye Xiruo naturally circulated her magic technique, beginning to absorb the chaotic energy. This chaotic energy looked insignificant and extremely fine, but once it entered her acupoints, it swept open the sixth acupoint with overwhelming force, and then took root there.

Ye Xiruo simply seized the time to desperately absorb the chaotic energy. Sure enough, ten minutes later, the sun was fully up, and the chaotic energy disappeared.
