The sword light streaked across the sky, gradually turning into a black dot before disappearing.
Shi Lan rolled her eyes and sighed inwardly.
Major sects are truly extraordinary; they actually send Foundation Establishment disciples to perform such a simple task as guiding disciples.
Two people slowly approached from the distant main hall. After distributing the items in their hands to everyone present, one of them pointed to the distant mountain peak and said, "From today onwards, you will live there. If you have any questions, go to the old man there, get the mission, and come find me."
The man looked around and asked, "Do you have any other questions?"
Everyone was speechless. They all said that if they had any questions, they should ask others. What other questions could there be?
Seeing that no one spoke, the man nodded in satisfaction and then turned and left.
After watching the two leave, everyone hurriedly ran towards the mountain peak.
It was already late, and they were only at the Qi Refining stage. Flying on swords was just wishful thinking; relying on their own two legs was more reliable.
Shi Lan followed the crowd, descending one peak and ascending another, finally arriving at a cluster of buildings with blue bricks and red tiles.
Ignoring the houses that had already been occupied, Shi Lan chose one that was closer to the edge and went inside.
There was still some noise outside. Shi Lan hung the wooden plaques that had been distributed by the door, then set up the array flags before sitting down cross-legged.
As everyone settled into their respective rooms, the outside gradually fell silent. Shi Lan closed her eyes and began to circulate the Chaos Technique. (Latest and fastest updates, free reading available.)
Golden light slowly penetrated her skin, forming a halo around it. Shi Lan looked serene as the golden light within her body flowed slowly from her mind throughout her entire being. When it returned to her mind, the golden light suddenly shone brightly. Shi Lan gently exhaled and slowly opened her eyes. A flash of golden light disappeared into the depths of her pupils.
Shi Lan looked down at her fair fingers and smiled slightly. She hadn't expected that after going through the Heart-Questioning Steps, her mind would become so clear, and she could enter the eighth level of Qi Refining so easily.
Shi Lan gently clenched her fingers into a fist and suddenly punched forward.
A surge of air followed by a soft popping sound and a stinging sensation on the skin.
Shi Lan frowned slightly and gently rubbed the back of her hand.
This body is still too weak.
She's only at the Qi Refining stage now, so the true essence she can use is still very limited. If she reaches the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stages...
Based on the proportion of true essence, Shi Lan calculated that at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, with the power of the Chaos Technique, she could probably shatter her body into pieces with just one move.
Shi Lan shuddered involuntarily and quickly moved the table and chairs in the center of the room, then began to slowly move them on the ground.
The Buddha Body Refinement Technique is the best body refinement technique she currently possesses, and it is also a technique that can thoroughly temper the body from the inside out.
Every time Shi Lan arrives in a new world, the first thing she does is cultivate her physical skills. She has an extremely thorough understanding of these skills, so when she needs to hone her skills, her first thought is not to go to the sect's library to find jade slips, but to practice these physical skills.
As dawn broke outside the window, sunlight gradually filtered through the paper windowpanes. Inside, Shi Lan moved her hands and feet slowly and deliberately, her eyes half-open and half-closed, as if she were lost in some kind of state of mind.
As the light dimmed, Shi Lan lost count of how many times she had hit the potion until she heard a popping sound from inside her body, which brought her back to her senses.
Shi Lan quickly sat cross-legged and focused her mind on her internal body. To her surprise, she discovered that her skin was emitting a faint golden hue.
What's going on?
Shi Lan was very surprised and was about to investigate further when her stomach made a jarring rumbling sound.
Shi Lan grimaced, pressed her stomach, and, bathed in the evening glow, went out to find something to eat.
There was no one outside at the moment. Shi Lan looked around and decided to use what was available.
Patchwork fields of spirit plants grew beside the buildings. Passing through the spirit seedlings swaying in the wind, one could see towering, dense forests in the distance. Based on the original owner's experience in hunting spirit beasts, Shi Lan felt that she could always get something out of it.
Using her Divine Speed Steps, she walked swiftly and reached the edge of the woods in less than a quarter of an hour.
By this time, it was almost completely dark, and there was no light at all in the woods. Looking from Shi Lan's position, all that could be seen was a narrow path.
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, and in the dark forest, it sounded as if someone was spying and whispering in the shadows.
Shi Lan frowned slightly, a small flame lit up at her fingertips, and flickered around.
The warm firelight instantly dispelled the darkness, revealing the true color of the tall, thick tree trunk, and the sounds from before seemed to vanish instantly as if they were an illusion.
Shi Lan strolled into the woods, unaware of the several tailers deliberately concealing themselves in the distant spirit field.
As darkness deepened, less than half an incense stick's time later, Shi Lan emerged carrying a Swift Rabbit and two colorful pheasants.
Upon seeing her emerge from the spirit field, the group of people all came out of the field at the same time.
As the group of people gradually approached her, Shi Lan slowly stopped and looked at them warily.
The newcomer walked up to Shi Lan, casually extended his hand, and said, "Newcomer, we are in charge of managing the spirit beasts here. Your behavior is putting us in a difficult position."
Shi Lan was taken aback and turned to look at the woods.
She had been busy replenishing her true energy and then practicing physical techniques, so she hadn't checked the sect rules issued by the Foreign Affairs Hall and therefore didn't know that hunting was prohibited in the woods here.
Shi Lan looked down at the now lifeless prey, then looked up at the newcomer and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know hunting was prohibited here. I'll explain this to the Foreign Affairs Hall later."
Shi Lan felt that her apology was very sincere, and she also explained that she would go to the Foreign Affairs Hall to accept punishment. Therefore, after she finished speaking, she prepared to walk around the crowd and leave.
