"Alright, let's try our best to improve our strength through our own efforts! Relying solely on external aids is not a long-term solution!" Jiang Yuan said solemnly.
"Then I'll give it a try!"
Jiang Yuan began to try every means to speed up the awakening process, while Ning Yanlan did not dawdle either; she also lay there cultivating.
Yes, it's lying there.
Ning Yanlan lay on the mat Jiang Yuan had laid out, her hands behind her head, while Jiang Yuan was near the Holy Spirit Fortress.
Coming here to cultivate was perhaps the best decision Jiang Yuan ever made. At first, he didn't feel any improvement in his spiritual awakening progress, but when he truly put his mind at ease and immersed himself in deep meditation, his state began to become wondrous.
If in the previous world he could only absorb air through his mouth, now he has hundreds of thousands of pores wide open, greedily absorbing the extra energy between heaven and earth.
He couldn't understand what that energy was exactly, but he knew it was what made monsters and humans stronger.
This is the aura released by the Golden Gate in the sky. Because of this aura, the entire Earth has entered an unprecedented wave of evolution, a power that current technology cannot explain.
However, the inability to explain something does not mean it does not exist.
The progress of the spiritual awakening was slowly increasing, a little bit every ten minutes. After three hours, Jiang Yuan's spiritual awakening progress had reached 0.5%, and it was already past 1 p.m.
Jiang Yuan paused, looked at Ning Yanlan, and called softly, "Yanlan!"
Ke Ningyanlan did not answer.
"Hmm?" Jiang Yuan stood up. "You're not asleep, are you?"
Jiang Yuan approached, and the tranquil, rhythmic breathing made him lose his temper. Damn, he really was asleep. "Could he have gotten tired from climbing the mountain so early in the morning?"
Both of them got up very early today, and then a series of events happened that made Ning Yanlan, who was already on edge, unable to hold on any longer and she went to rest.
He had originally planned to take a break to check on Ning Yanlan's cultivation progress, but he hadn't expected her to fall asleep. He couldn't very well wake her, so he had no choice but to go back and continue his spiritual awakening work.
"Yeah, I don't even need to ask her how much spiritual energy she has, I can tell right away!" Jiang Yuan cursed himself for not making the most of his abilities. How could he not use this amazing Heavenly Eye?
"Human, Tier 1 Psychic (Unawakened), Psychic Power: 2.5, Talent: Psychic Shield."
"Huh?" Jiang Yuan was a little confused about Ning Yanlan's actions. He was sure that Ning Yanlan had only a little bit of spiritual energy before, but now she had not only become a first-order spiritual energy type, but her spiritual energy had also reached 2.5. What kind of operation was this?
And those three words, "unawakened," make me feel that Ning Yanlan isn't as simple as she seems.
Suddenly, just as Jiang Yuan was staring at Ning Yanlan, Ning Yanlan opened her eyes, and their eyes met.
"You? Why are you looking at me like that?" Ning Yanlan paused for a moment before asking.
"I'm watching you sleep!" Jiang Yuan said casually.
Ning Yanlan shrank back and asked weakly, "Was I sleeping?"
"I don't know, unless you don't snore or talk in your sleep!" Jiang Yuan looked at her.
"Uh!" Ning Yanlan blushed. "I probably just dozed off for a bit!"
"Look at how much psionic energy you have!" Jiang Yuan asked the question he most wanted to know.
Ning Yanlan thought Jiang Yuan was complaining that she wasn't cultivating properly, so when checking her spiritual energy, she explained, "It's okay, I'll start cultivating right away, I'll break through to the first level of spiritual energy sooner or later... Ah! What's going on?"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuan didn't intend to reveal the truth about his Heavenly Eye, so he naturally pretended not to know how much spiritual energy the other party possessed.
"I..." Ning Yanlan didn't know how to explain for a moment, but she just confirmed her spiritual power again.
After a long while, Ning Yanlan exclaimed in disbelief, "No way, I think I have more than two points of spiritual energy!"
"I've become a first-tier cultivator?"
Ning Yanlan stared blankly at Jiang Yuan, then after a moment's thought, a look of sudden realization appeared on her face. "Jiang Yuan, did you feed me some kind of magic pill while I was sleeping?!"
"Is it a treasure that can increase spiritual energy, just like a hard-boiled egg?" Ning Yanlan had an "I understand" look on her face. "Look at you, why are you being so polite? You even had to give it to me while I was sleeping. I wouldn't be polite to you if you gave it to me normally!"
Jiang Yuan had to admit that women have amazing imaginations. He didn't say a word, but Ning Yanlan managed to cover up what had happened.
"If I had something that good, wouldn't I eat it myself?" Jiang Yuan said helplessly.
"If it wasn't something you gave me to eat, do you think I'd gain spiritual energy while I sleep? You're not kidding me, are you?" Ning Yanlan said skeptically.
Jiang Yuan didn't speak, but just looked intently at Ning Yanlan.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds before Ning Yanlan began to have some doubts, "Could it really be that it grew on its own while sleeping?"
"If I say yes, would you believe me?" Jiang Yuan shrugged.
"That's impossible! Why didn't my spiritual energy increase last night when I was sleeping?" Ning Yanlan explained. "Besides, you were in the room yesterday! I didn't do anything else!"
At this point, the two of them looked at the Holy Spirit Fortress simultaneously.
"Is it because of the Holy Spirit Fortress?"
The two spoke in unison, but Jiang Yuan still said, "Not entirely, your own talent also plays a part! Otherwise, why haven't any strong individuals emerged from Xu Family Village?"
The fact that Ning Yanlan was not awakened, as detected by the Heavenly Eye, is clearly the key to why she can increase her spiritual energy even while sleeping. Of course, the Holy Spirit Fortress also plays a significant role in this.
"No, I need to sleep a little longer! When I wake up later, my spiritual energy will have broken through to level four, and I'll become a respected second-tier powerhouse. That will definitely feel great." Ning Yanlan laughed heartily. She rolled herself up in the thin blanket and then crawled back into bed to sleep.
