Liu Xuan had not seen Su Qing for ten days in a row.
Not only Su Qing, but Yun Luoyan and Bai Xiao also disappeared after receiving the braised meat sent by Senior Brother Lan.
Liu Xuan sent a message to Xi Ran: "Oh dear, Xi Ran, Junior Sister Su Qing has been missing for ten days straight. Do you think we should tell Master about this?"
"Ten days without seeing you? Hahaha, could you be cultivating in the training hall?" Xi Ran joked.
"How is that possible? Ten days without food?"
"Didn't Senior Brother Lan sell her some braised meat?"
"Are they crazy? Do they really intend to rely on that hundred pounds of braised meat to cultivate in seclusion? Hmph, even if they were going into seclusion, they'd prepare Bigu Pills and Gathering Spirit Pills, right? Preparing braised meat for seclusion? Xi Ran, do you think they're particularly poor?" Liu Xuan said.
"Ah? Now that you mention it, you're right! They've just joined the sect, so they probably don't have many spirit stones. You're right, she's just a country bumpkin! Poor and unsophisticated, she's never seen the world before. Liu Xuan, just leave her alone," Xi Ran said.
"How can that be? She's my junior sister. Master values her highly; he personally went to the Heavenly Ladder to bring her back. He even asked me about her the day before yesterday, and I just gave a vague answer. Maybe he'll ask again next time, and I won't know how to answer."
"Stop thinking about that. I'm going to the cultivation hall anyway, let's look for it there," Xi Ran said.
After the two met in the training hall, they went to look at each of the small cubicles.
The names and numbers of the disciples practicing inside are written on the doors of the small cubicles.
Liu Xuan and Xi Ran searched around the cultivation hall and finally found three small cubicles with their doors tightly closed in a corner.
Su Qing, Yun Luoyan, Bai Xiao!
All three of them were actually in the cultivation hall.
"No way, she really cultivated for ten consecutive days?" Xi Ran's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.
Liu Xuan didn't believe it either, but the time displayed at the bottom of the cultivation hall wouldn't lie. Ten days. She had been cultivating inside for ten days without coming out once.
"No way, they really cultivated in there for that long?" Liu Xuan bit her lip. "Hmph, they don't actually think that this kind of secluded cultivation will be effective, do they?"
"Hmph, these three bumpkins are so poor and unsophisticated, they definitely can't afford the pills to aid their cultivation, that's why they brought braised meat into the sect to cultivate. We've had plenty of people like them in our Xuanling Sect! And they all ended up like that," Xi Ran said.
“You’re right, I’ve heard about it too. Every year, the Xuanling Sect has people who go into seclusion to cultivate desperately, but their aptitude is just what it is, and no matter how much they cultivate, they can’t improve,” Liu Xuan said.
“That’s right. Our Xuanling Sect has a long history of cultivation, and we have a complete system for it. It’s not something that they can master just by going into seclusion,” Xi Ran said.
The two quickly went from surprise to contempt, thinking that the three of them were complete bumpkins.
"Who is this Su Qing? She's been in the cultivation hall for ten days!"
At this moment, someone was making a commotion in the main hall of the training hall.
In the main hall of the cultivation hall, there was a list of the time each cultivator spent cultivating in the hall, and Su Qing's name was at the very top.
The two names following Su Qing are Yun Luoyan and Bai Xiao. Because they came out once in the middle, it only shows that they cultivated in the cultivation hall for six days.
Even so, it's still incredible!
In the training hall, very few people pay attention to these rankings, since everyone is just focused on completing the task and killing time in their small cubicles.
If you can cultivate for a few hours each day, you can be at the top of the list. There's nothing special about it, so naturally no one bothers to look at it.
"Ten days?"
All the cultivators who had inquired in the cultivation hall looked over here, and many of them rubbed their eyes hard to make sure they weren't seeing things, all showing expressions of shock.
"Is this insane? To be able to cultivate for ten days in such a small space! Are all the outer disciples cultivating here? A Qi Refining stage cultivator is going into seclusion for ten days?"
"Those two down there are pretty ruthless too, they went into seclusion for six days!"
"Who are these three people? I've never heard of them before."
"I know that. He just joined the sect half a month ago, and he was in the top three of the Heavenly Ladder Trial."
"Oh, so you're a newbie. No wonder! Don't be fooled by how hard you're working now; you won't be this competitive in six months."
"That's right. All the newcomers are like this. They don't even realize they've entered the Xuanling Sect. The spiritual energy here is so abundant that you can cultivate just by breathing. Who would be stupid enough to go in and struggle to cultivate? Only newcomers are foolishly messing around."
"Exactly, let them do whatever they want. When the difference in cultivation level between those who cultivate and those who don't is negligible, they'll quiet down!"
"By the way, do you think the three of them broke the record for the longest training time in the training hall? I remember the previous record was held by Senior Sister Ling Shuang, who trained continuously in the training hall for eight days."
"Oh my, it really is."
"That time, Senior Sister Ling Shuang went straight from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining in one go. The three of them definitely can't compare."
...
Liu Xuan and Xi Ran exchanged a glance. Hmph, it seems everyone thinks about the same thing as them!
"Let's go cultivate too," Xi Ran said. "I haven't cultivated yet today."
“Me too! I bought five Grade 3 Crimson Spirit Pills this time. I’ve been stuck at the eighth level of Qi Refining for quite a while now. If I don’t break through soon, I’m afraid I’ll have trouble explaining myself,” Liu Xuan said.
“Alright, with the help of the Crimson Spirit Pill, there shouldn’t be any problem,” Xi Ran said.
The two found two adjacent cubicles and went in to cultivate, but during their cultivation, they still chatted from time to time using their communication jade tablets.
After discussing the three cultivators who were getting caught up in the competition for a while, the discussion gradually died down as everyone went about their own business.
After that, people came and went in the cultivation hall, but no cultivator paid any more attention to the ranking of cultivation time.
The new cultivators knew nothing, so they concluded that these fools who only knew how to cultivate in seclusion were just very powerful at the beginning, but they would definitely stop being so foolish later on!
As an outer disciple with three spiritual roots, one must be aware of the requirements of an outer disciple. To think that one can increase one's cultivation speed to the same level as an inner disciple by relying on internal competition is simply wishful thinking!
Su Qing was unaware of what was happening outside; she was focused entirely on her cultivation.
In her previous life, she was in the Cloud Sword Sect. Not only were the resources for cultivation insufficient, but the cultivation environment was also not safe enough. Even when she was in seclusion, she had to be vigilant at all times to prevent her fellow disciples from betraying her.
This life is different. There are abundant cultivation resources, and there's no need to worry about safety in this cultivation hall, which allows her to focus more on cultivation!
This time, Su Qing is cultivating a top-grade cultivation method, which is incomparable to the low-grade method she used in her previous life!
During her cultivation, Su Qing focused on expanding her meridians. She could clearly feel that all the meridians in her body were open and wide, like a broad river, through which spiritual energy flowed without any obstruction.
Unlike in my previous life, where cultivation methods only involved absorbing spiritual energy, circulating it through the meridians, and then converting it into spiritual power in the dantian, without any thought of widening the meridians, resulting in slow cultivation and harm to the body.
