The jade tablet is a small magical artifact that allows disciples of the Xuanling Sect to communicate with each other.
In the Xuanling Sect, every disciple has a jade token. High-grade jade tokens are made of Xuan jade and can cover the entire Xuanling Sect, while ordinary jade tokens can only communicate within a radius of one thousand meters.
Liu Xuan held an ordinary jade token, but it was enough for her, since as an outer sect Qi Refining disciple, her daily activities were quite limited.
Xi Ran was a friend who joined the Xuanling Sect with her, and the two had always had a good relationship.
Liu Xuan was chosen by Elder Shui Qingchen and brought to Jade Maiden Peak, while Xi Ran followed Elder Xiang and usually did some cleaning work in the cave.
"So what are you doing now?" Xi Ran asked.
"What else can we do but cultivate in the cultivation hall? I just took a Spirit Recovery Pill and a Spirit Gathering Pill, and I'll start cultivating in a little while," Liu Xuan said.
"Alright, alright, I'm cultivating too. Ugh, this sect is really something, why do they stipulate four hours of cultivation every day? I can't even sit still for one hour a day," Xi Ran said.
Liu Xuan sighed and said, "I've been stuck at the eighth level of Qi Refining for a year now. My master said that as long as I successfully establish my foundation, he will teach me alchemy. I have to work hard. Let's talk later."
There was no more sound from the jade tablet, but Liu Xuan didn't start cultivating either. Instead, she took out a bunch of snacks from her storage bag and placed them in front of her.
These snacks are all provided by the cafeteria.
Spirit Valley puffed pancakes, monster meat stall, and sugar-roasted spirit beans.
Having just eaten, Liu Xuan had little appetite for spiritual food. After eating for a while, she finally began to cultivate.
However, during the cultivation process, he would either pick up the jade tablet to see if anyone was talking to him, or eat a few bites of spiritual food.
It wasn't until noon that an hour and a half had finally passed. As for the actual cultivation time, it was probably about half an hour at most.
Liu Xuan stuffed everything into her storage bag and then came out of the cultivation cubicle.
She walked to the small cubicle where Su Qing was and saw that the indicator light on the door was still on, so she knew that Su Qing was still cultivating inside. Then she looked at Yun Luoyan and Bai Xiao.
There was no movement at all.
Liu Xuan waited outside for a quarter of an hour, and only stood up when she saw that many outer disciples were about to leave.
"Liu Xuan!" Xi Ran also came out of the small cubicle and greeted Liu Xuan, as if she were a friend who had communicated with her through the jade pendant.
"Where are we waiting for?" Xi Ran asked.
"Oh dear, we're waiting for the new junior sister. It's already this late, and she still hasn't come out," Liu Xuan said.
Xi Ran covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Could it be that you forgot about time while cultivating? Come to think of it, she can cultivate in the cafeteria, so wouldn't she have to cultivate for a whole day and night in this cultivation hall?"
Liu Xuan frowned upon hearing this.
"Liu Xuan, don't wait anymore, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch first," Xi Ran said.
Liu Xuan thought that since the three of them could find the cafeteria anyway, she could go there herself after she finished cultivating.
So, Liu Xuan and Xi Ran left the cultivation hall together.
In the small cubicle, Su Qing cultivated with great eagerness.
In my previous life, back in the Cloud Sword Sect, we didn't have such good conditions. Not only were cultivation resources scarce, but we also faced the danger of death every day.
She felt incredibly happy, not only because she was safe, but also because the surrounding spiritual energy was abundant, and she even had a Spirit Recovery Pill to aid her cultivation.
Even after she reached the Nascent Soul stage and became the sect leader of the Cloud Sword Sect, she had never been this at ease.
Su Qing was a Nascent Soul cultivator in her previous life, so she naturally had her own insights into cultivation techniques. She combined the Xuanling Sect's cultivation techniques with her own supreme cultivation techniques, and then added her experience from her previous life to create a cultivation technique that suited her.
With the added benefit of this cultivation method and such excellent cultivation conditions, her cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds.
Su Qing didn't open her eyes until she had taken all ten Rejuvenation Pills.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt dizzy and her stomach was already empty. She had actually been cultivating for three days and three nights straight.
She is now at the second level of Qi Refining, but she still needs to eat like a mortal. After three days and three nights without food, she really can't take it anymore.
Su Qing, in particular, felt incredibly hungry when she thought about the food in the Xuanling Sect's dining hall.
After tidying up my things, I came out of the small cubicle and saw Yun Luoyan and Bai Xiao waiting at the door.
"Su Qing, you're too ruthless! You've been cultivating inside for three days and three nights!" Yun Luoyan said.
Bai Xiao rolled his eyes at Yun Luoyan and said, "You've only been out for a little over an hour!"
Yun Luoyan snorted and said, "That's still not as good as Su Qing."
"That's incomparable. Su Qing is already at the second level of Qi Refining. How can you compare?" Bai Xiao said sourly.
In fact, Bai Xiao had only been out for an hour. He saw that there were still people cultivating in Su Qing and Yun Luoyan's small cubicle, so he waited for a while until Yun Luoyan came out. The two of them waited for a while longer, and sure enough, Su Qing appeared.
The three cultivation fanatics, although their cultivation levels had all increased, each of them cultivated for three days and three nights, and they all looked unkempt. Especially when cultivating, they inevitably had to expel some impurities from their bodies, so the three of them didn't smell very good, which made other cultivators frown when they saw them.
"Where did this country bumpkin come from? How come he's so dirty!"
"Oh dear, who can argue with that? How could our Xuanling Sect have such a disciple?"
"Looks like just an outer disciple. Hmph, must be a newcomer this time, never seen the world before."
...
Liu Xuan and Xi Ran chatted as they entered the cultivation hall. They were shocked to see Su Qing and the other two. She wanted to ignore them, as she didn't want to lose face either.
But Xi Ran pushed her away, saying, "That's your junior sister. If you don't take care of her, who will?"
Liu Xuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.
"Junior Sister Su Qing, why are you only coming out now! You've been inside for three days and three nights. If it weren't for the fact that your name was always displayed in your cubicle, I would have almost thought you had disappeared inside," Liu Xuan said.
"Oh, I think it's alright," Su Qing said. In the past, she relied on fasting pills to cultivate for three months straight. She hadn't prepared fasting pills before coming to the cultivation hall, so she had to leave early.
"Junior Sister Su Qing, let me take you to wash up. Look how dirty you are," Liu Xuan said. "The hot springs in our Xuanling Sect are quite nice. After cultivation, soaking in the hot springs is very helpful for strengthening your physique."
"Hot springs? There are such wonderful places?" Su Qing's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"Let's go, it's not too far from the training hall," Liu Xuan said.
"Hey! Wait a minute," Yun Luoyan said. "I think we should go to the cafeteria first. We're starving."
"Senior Sister Liu Xuan, any fasting pills will do," Bai Xiao said.
Liu Xuan looked at the three of them and really didn't know what to say.
"So you mean the three of you have been cultivating for three days and three nights without eating anything?" Xi Ran couldn't help but ask, her face full of shock.
Seeing the three nod, Liu Xuan and Xi Ran both covered their faces.
"Alright, alright, I'll take you to the cafeteria. Eating is the most important thing," Liu Xuan said.
"Wait!" Xi Ran quickly stopped them. "If they take them to the cafeteria like this, it will definitely attract a crowd. I think it would be better if you take them to the hot springs, and I will go to the cafeteria to pack food and eat it directly at the hot springs."
Liu Xuan nodded hurriedly. That's right. If they brought three beggar-like outer disciples to the cafeteria, not only would the outer disciples look down on them, but if they encountered an elder, they would probably get a scolding.
