She returned to her cave dejectedly, not even wanting to eat. She stuffed a Bigu Pill given to her by Bai Luochen into her mouth and began to meditate and cultivate. However, she was restless, and scenes of learning the Light Body Step and Qingfeng Sword Technique that day kept flashing through her mind.
Although Meng Tianyuan had a sharp tongue, he did fulfill his duties as a master. Every word he said, though harsh, hit the nail on the head.
Finding herself unable to concentrate on cultivation, Ye Sisi began practicing with the Shadow Chaser sword in the open space at the entrance of her cave. Her swordplay became increasingly fluid, and after an unknown amount of time, just as she felt she was about to exhaust herself, an incomparably sharp sword aura shot from the sword towards the large tree at the entrance.
With a cracking sound, the tree broke in two and crashed to the ground with a thud. Ye Sisi was startled. What happened?
She rushed over to check. The broken part of the tree trunk was smooth and flat, and the remaining spiritual energy on it belonged to her five elements. Could she really have done this? She was clearly just practicing sword moves!
No, it's not just the five elements of spiritual energy, there seems to be a trace of sword energy as well!
That can't be right. She only started learning swordsmanship today. Isn't sword energy very difficult to cultivate?
She wasn't the only one surprised; even Meng Tianyuan, who was hailed as the greatest swordsman of the millennium, was astonished. He knew that his little disciple had excellent comprehension of swordsmanship, but he never expected her to be this strong!
Su Jiuli stepped through the air and arrived beside Meng Tianyuan, laughing, "Master, it seems you'll have to pass on your title as the number one swordsman in a thousand years to your junior sister!"
"It's just a reputation. In terms of sword talent alone, I am indeed inferior to her. However, sword cultivation is about cultivating the mind. Your junior sister has something on her mind. If it is not resolved, she may not be able to go far on this path!"
Su Jiuli's shimmering eyes flickered: "Are they her parents and sister from the mortal world?"
"Who knows? This is a path only she can walk; there's nothing we can do to help her!"
She was stunned when Ye Sisi unleashed two more sword energies using the Qingfeng Sword Technique. She really was a genius!
It is said that when God closes a door, He opens a window. Similarly, if God opens a door very wide, the corresponding window will be very small.
Ye Sisi found practicing the Qingfeng Sword Technique incredibly easy and enjoyable, but her attempts at the Light Body Steps were incredibly difficult. Damn it, couldn't they balance out her talents a bit?
Despite her complaints, Ye Sisi still had to practice. It wasn't until late at night that she dragged her tired body to start meditating.
The next morning, Ye Sisi went to the Ironwood Forest first. Bai Luochen was already there. The two unfortunate brothers resigned themselves to their fate and began chopping wood.
"Fifth Senior Brother, tell me honestly, haven't you been looking forward to my arrival for a long time? Otherwise, how bored would you be all alone!"
Bai Luochen didn't deny it, and answered while chopping, "Yes, the senior sisters and brothers are all too terrifying. You're lucky you still have me with you. My fourth senior brother broke through to the Golden Core stage less than two months after I entered the sect, so I've been chopping trees here by myself for two whole years! Two whole years, you have no idea how I survived!"
"Alright, don't be sad anymore. I'm here to keep you company."
"Alright, junior sister, you should focus on chopping down the trees. Although we're going to the spirit field this afternoon, you still have to complete your task of chopping ten ironwood trees!"
Ye Sisi...
She was trying to comfort her silly fifth senior brother, but he stabbed her in the heart instead. She'd rather not have a senior brother like that!
If she hadn't broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining last night, she definitely wouldn't have been able to cut down all ten ironwood trees in one morning. Even so, she was exhausted.
She crunched down the spiritual fruit and then began cultivating with practiced ease. This method of cultivating, which depleted and quickly replenished her spiritual energy, greatly benefited her. It not only accelerated her absorption of spiritual power but also strengthened the resilience of her meridians.
After popping a fasting pill into her mouth, Ye Sisi suddenly missed her fourth senior brother. With him around, at least she could have a hot meal. But now her mouth was so bland that she couldn't taste anything. The fasting pill could keep her from being hungry, but that was all. When she was craving something, only delicious food could satisfy her!
"Come on, junior sister, let me show you how your senior brother farms!"
Ye Sisi's lips twitched violently. Judging from Bai Luochen's expression, she knew it wasn't just about farming. The reason he was so happy was simply because she was there to keep him company.
Upon arriving at the back mountain, Bai Luochen began to explain: "This area is a superior spiritual field, entirely planted with rare spiritual herbs. So this whole area is a medicinal herb field. The senior brother manages all the medicinal herb fields, while we are responsible for the medium-grade spiritual fields below. I was originally in charge of planting and managing those spiritual grains, spiritual wheat, and some spiritual vegetables, but starting today, you will be added to the team!"
Ye Sisi could understand his excitement, after all, a free helper had come, but couldn't he at least try to understand her feelings? She wasn't happy at all!
"Junior Sister, do you see that piece of land? Your task today is to turn over the soil there!"
Ye Sisi looked at him in disbelief: "That's it?"
Bai Luochen's youthful face broke into a mischievous smile: "Junior Sister, do you think one piece of land isn't enough?"
Ye Sisi felt that this face was really annoying. Perhaps she had misunderstood her silly fifth senior brother. He was actually not silly at all, but rather very cunning.
"Fifth Senior Brother, I don't know how, can you demonstrate first?"
"See that hoe over there? Pick it up and poke it into the ground to loosen the compacted soil!"
Ye Sisi's lips twitched again. Forget it, this conversation is over!
She picked up the hoe that had been carelessly tossed aside and walked toward the spiritual field she was to cultivate that day.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the spirit field, she felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on her back. Caught off guard, she was pressed to the ground along with the hoe in her hand, and Bai Luochen's loud laughter could be heard in her ears.
Ye Sisi struggled to lift her face from the ground, glared angrily at Bai Luochen, and said, word by word, "You just wait!"
Bai Luochen immediately stopped smiling. His junior sister's gaze was terrifying, so he quickly said, "Junior sister, good luck! I'll go get back to work now!"
Ye Sisi finally managed to get up from the ground, wiped her dirty little face, and couldn't help but grind her teeth. What kind of lunatic came up with the idea of setting up a gravity array on the spirit field? They simply don't treat them like human beings!
