Chapter 119 Spiritual Energy Revival
However, Ning Xuan soon realized why Han Dongling's cultivation speed was so fast. Besides Han Dongling's own good aptitude and talent, it was also because spiritual energy had slowly recovered after the apocalypse.
It is also because of the resurgence of spiritual energy that humans, plants, animals and zombies are all mutating. As time goes by, most species are becoming more and more powerful.
Some zombies, even those who have lost their minds and are no longer consciously cultivating, will still unintentionally absorb spiritual energy. As a result, more and more zombies have crystal cores, and at the same time, the intelligence of some zombies is also slowly improving.
This was something Han Dongling discovered only after she was able to perceive the presence of spiritual energy well after drawing qi into her body.
She originally wanted to continue cultivating, but after guiding the Qi into her body, her sense of smell became more sensitive, and she noticed that she smelled particularly bad. It wasn't just because she hadn't taken a proper bath since the apocalypse was water-scarce, but also because the spiritual energy entering her body after guiding the Qi into her body had cleansed her body and expelled impurities.
After taking the powerful pill, she was supposed to expel some waste, but because Han Dongling had become immune to the smell of not showering for a long time in the apocalypse, and was also wearing protective clothing, she didn't notice it.
After the Qi was drawn into her body, her physical condition improved in all aspects, including her five senses: sight, hearing, and smell. So she couldn't adapt to the smells she used to be used to. She then discovered that she had a lot of dirt on her body, a very thick layer of black grime.
She had no choice but to stop cultivating. Fortunately, she had one more transaction opportunity today and could use her spiritual power again, so she wanted to ask Ning Xuan for more water, just ordinary clean water, because she wanted to use it for a bath.
Ning Xuan then realized that she had managed to draw qi into her body so quickly. She then asked her a few questions about her cultivation insights and discovered that the spiritual energy in the post-apocalyptic world had been restored and the concentration of spiritual energy was relatively high.
Once she can use spiritual power, things will be much easier. Ning Xuan can give Han Dongling the plastic water tank that Lin Yuhan bought, the kind with a faucet, that's already full of water.
In addition to this domestic water, she also filled several more buckets with drinking water.
Then, seeing that Han Dongling wanted to take a shower, and remembering that she lacked toiletries, I packed a bucket, basin, towels, bath sponge, shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, and other toiletries—a complete set from head to toe—into the container.
There are several sets of clothes to change into, including the ones worn underneath, all of which are new.
Do you have a place to take a shower where you are?
Ning Xuan was preparing things when she suddenly thought of this question again and quickly asked Han Dongling.
Han Dongling paused for a moment, feeling both heartbroken and moved, and replied:
[There shouldn't be anyone here, and since I had both a confusion array and a defensive array, I was planning to just wash in the open.]
Although she had a bewildering array, Ning Xuan still felt uncomfortable taking a bath in the open air as a girl. However, she didn't have a portable shower or toilet in her storage ring. But she did see a tent, which was probably bought with Lin Yuhan last time, but it was all piled up in her storage ring.
At the time, Han Dongling was in a hurry for supplies to escape, and since the tent took up a lot of space, she didn't pack it in.
【I have a tent here, I'll give it to you too. I'll trade you a storage ring later. After you get it, transfer the contents of it to your own storage ring. Then trade this back to me next time you trade. If we have a lot of items in the future, we'll use storage rings to trade, it'll be much more convenient that way.】
Han Dongling thought it was just water and tents, but when she received the storage ring from the transaction, she found that it contained not only the water she urgently needed to take a bath and two tents, but also all sorts of toiletries.
Han Dongling cried, both moved by Ning Xuan's thoughtfulness and excited that she could finally take a proper shower and brush her teeth.
When the apocalypse came, these supplies were still usable at first, but once the water resources were polluted and even drinking water became a problem, things like bathing and washing were no longer part of their daily lives.
Whether men or women, the vast majority have shaved their heads; Han Dongling, for example, now has a buzz cut.
She quickly set up a tent; it was a one-piece tent, which was easy to set up.
Then she filled a bucket with water. Although it was cold water, Han Dongling still let out a comfortable sigh the moment the clean water was poured over her.
There was so much dirt and grime on her body that she didn't want to use a towel or shower gel at first. She rubbed herself with her hands several times, using up two buckets of water, until most of the dirt was washed away. Only then did she start using shower gel and a bath sponge to scrub her body.
Smelling the fragrant shower gel, Han Dongling sighed with relief that she no longer had to act like a wild woman.
Han Dongling lost count of how many buckets of water she had used, estimating it to be no less than ten. She felt bad for wasting so much water, but there was nothing she could do. After all, she had started taking a shower, and she couldn't stand not scrubbing herself clean properly.
It was almost an hour later when she finished washing and changing into clean clothes.
She then picked up the mouthwash cup and brushed her teeth thoroughly for more than ten minutes before she felt comfortable.
After finishing washing up, Han Dongling realized she was extremely hungry, and even felt like she was about to faint from low blood sugar. She quickly sat down, took out the food Ning Xuan had given her, and began to eat it in large mouthfuls.
Han Dongling also noticed that her appetite had increased significantly. Yesterday, she ate three large boxes of rice and was already quite full, but she ended up eating five bowls and still didn't feel full.
She thought it was because she had started cultivating, but it was actually because she had taken the power pill. Fortunately, she now had a trading system, so she could continue to exchange for food. Otherwise, with such a large appetite, in the resource-scarce apocalypse, she would have starved to death before even encountering any other dangers.
After finishing the sixth boxed meal, Han Dongling finally felt full. Although she wasn't very full yet, she didn't plan to eat any more.
Han Dongling wasn't sleepy at all. Thinking of the spiritual energy that made her feel so comfortable, and her desire to become stronger, she couldn't bear to sleep. She packed up her things and quickly sat down to meditate and cultivate.
Compared to the diligent Han Dongling, Ning Xuan was much more relaxed; she practiced for two hours and then lay down to sleep.
If Ning Xuan knew how diligent Han Dongling was, she would definitely exclaim: "Not only is she talented, but she's also so hardworking!"
When Ning Xuan woke up, she was shocked by Han Dongling's cultivation speed. What happened? How could the other party have reached the first level of Qi Refining while she was asleep?!
