Ji Xian spent the entire night meditating diligently.

But still, nothing was gained.

The next morning, Ji Xian and Lingling were both meditating in the cultivation room.

Even after the inner elixir has been formed, you still need to persist in meditating every day.

It is necessary to continuously absorb the power between heaven and earth to strengthen the inner elixir.

Of course, you can also directly absorb it using energy crystal cores.

However, the energy of the energy crystal core is too vast and explosive, making it impossible to absorb too much at once.

It is unprecedented for someone like Lingling to absorb an entire energy crystal core on her first attempt at opening her inner core.

Ji Xian could sense that Lingling had become even stronger.

In the afternoon, Lingling was taken away by Tuoba Yin again to practice her martial arts.

Ji Xian was left alone in the room again.

Ji Xian glanced at the words on the wall: "Quietness is the key to cultivating the mind."

He also silently recited "cultivate the mind through tranquility" and meditated for an entire afternoon.

I left the meditation room in the evening feeling disappointed.

As he passed through the bamboo forest, he saw the panda again.

Ji Xian was curious about what this panda did all day long. Wasn't it bored?

Moreover, every time Ji Xian saw that giant panda, he felt that the panda's eyes were very deep, as if it were thinking like a human. If it weren't for its panda appearance, Ji Xian would even have the illusion that it was a middle-aged man.

That's why, when Ji Xian was feeling down yesterday, the giant panda saw him and he felt ashamed.

With nothing else to do, Ji Xian squatted in the bamboo forest, watching what the giant panda was doing.

The giant panda initially sat cross-legged in meditation.

But when someone comes by, he stares at them.

Ji Xian couldn't help but wonder, could this giant panda also meditate and cultivate?

In Ji Xian's real world, giant pandas are national treasures, and there are not many opportunities to see real giant pandas.

Therefore, Ji Xian was willing to squat in the bamboo forest and watch the giant pandas a little longer.

But after watching for a while, the giant panda didn't do anything strange.

Ji Xian looked at it, and it stared back at Ji Xian.

Ji Xian was getting a little bored and asked, "Hey everyone, why aren't you meditating anymore?"

The giant panda remained motionless.

Ji Xian certainly didn't expect the giant panda to understand what he was saying, so he found a rock, sat cross-legged on it, and said, "Like this, meditate. Why aren't you meditating?" Ji Xian said while making a meditating gesture.

The giant panda reacted.

It walked over on two legs, just like a human.

Ji Xian was startled, wondering why this seemingly obedient panda had come over.

He remembered what Murong Baixue had said: "Don't provoke this guardian beast of the courtyard."

But Ji Xian's actions don't count as provoking anyone, right?

As Ji Xian pondered, the giant panda had already walked up to him.

This giant panda is much larger than real-world pandas. It stands more than two meters tall and is quite imposing. Standing in front of people, it exudes a strong sense of awe.

Ji Xian looked up at the giant panda.

Suddenly, the giant panda stretched out its thick forelimbs and attacked Ji Xian.

Without a second thought, Ji Xian immediately dodged.

The giant panda missed its target and turned to face Ji Xian again.

It reached out with its front paws again.

Ji Xian continued to dodge, and once again avoided the giant panda's claws.

Ji Xian said, "I'm not playing with you anymore."

He turned and left.

He muttered to himself, "This guardian beast of the courtyard is anything but docile."

Ji Xian had only taken a few steps when he noticed that the bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest were falling with a "rustling" sound, dancing in the wind.

No, where did the wind come from?

There was absolutely no wind!

But these bamboo leaves seemed to be blown by the wind, drifting everywhere.

Ji Xian sensed a chilling atmosphere reminiscent of martial arts movies.

Ji Xian wanted to keep walking, but his cheek touched a bamboo leaf floating in the air.

I immediately felt a slight pain in my cheek.

Ji Xian was greatly surprised.

There's something wrong with these bamboo leaves!

Ji Xian turned around and found that the bamboo leaves in the entire bamboo forest were scattered and falling.

Ji Xian experienced the power of these fluttering bamboo leaves.

The entire bamboo forest was now a killing formation.

Ji Xian looked at the giant panda, but the panda remained silent and expressionless.

But Ji Xian had a feeling that this killing formation was made by a giant panda.

Ji Xian had a strange feeling, as if this scene was similar to a barrier or domain in a fantasy novel.

And this bamboo forest is the territory of the giant panda.

Ji Xian smiled bitterly: "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have provoked you. We have no past grudges or present hatred, so please let me go?"

After Ji Xian said these words to the panda, the panda did not remove the barrier, but continued to grab at Ji Xian.

Ji Xian quickly crouched down to avoid it.

The panda did not give up and kept reaching out its claws to grab Ji Xian.

Helpless, Ji Xian kept bending down and circling around the giant panda.

He originally possessed incredible speed, fast enough to outrun a bullet, but unfortunately, surrounded by fluttering bamboo leaves, Ji Xian dared not escape at such a speed.

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, if he hit the bamboo leaves in mid-air at a speed exceeding that of a bullet, then the bamboo leaves would be equivalent to hitting him at the speed of a bullet.

The problem is that these bamboo leaves are not ordinary bamboo leaves. No one knows how this panda did it. It feels pain when it touches these bamboo leaves, which shows that these bamboo leaves are very strong.

Ji Xian crouched down and moved around under the giant panda's paws, and the giant panda couldn't catch him for a while.

However, Ji Xian discovered that the giant pandas were getting faster and faster.

Ji Xian got a little angry, stood up and shoved the giant panda away.

"Enough! I was just warming you up, wasn't I? I just wanted to say a few words to you, and you treat me like this? This is too much! If you dare to lay a hand on me again, I'm going to beat you up!"

With Ji Xian's high physical strength, he didn't believe he couldn't defeat a mere mutated giant panda.

However, before he could finish speaking, his neck was grabbed by thick claws.

Saying "grab" is not entirely accurate, because giant pandas do not have knuckles like humans.

But when those big claws pressed down on Ji Xian's neck, Ji Xian was indeed unable to move.

A hint of fear flashed in Ji Xian's eyes.

This giant panda is too eerie.

"What...what do you want to do?"

The giant panda didn't answer, but instead pulled an energy crystal core out of Ji Xian's body.

And it absorbs the energy crystal nucleus into the bear's paw.

Ji Xian lowered his guard. It turned out that this giant panda had gone to great lengths just to obtain the energy crystal core on his body.

You should have said so earlier; if you had, you would have handed it over long ago.

It's not enough to be so scared that you'd be covered in Afghanistan.

Ji Xian said, both amused and exasperated, "Are you Doraemon? How can you pick things up without hands?"

No sooner had Ji Xian finished his witty remark than the panda slapped the energy crystal core into Ji Xian's mouth.

The immense inertia propelled the energy crystal core directly down Ji Xian's throat and into his stomach.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh!"

Ji Xian gagged a few times, but did not vomit.

Ji Xian's eyes widened again.

I wonder what this giant panda is up to again.

Wasn't she trying to get the energy core from him? Why did she end up feeding it to herself?

Ji Xian was on the verge of tears: "What are you doing? That thing can't be eaten, it'll kill you! Are you trying to kill me?"
