Cultivation Technique Upgrade
Senior Sister Yao was quite persuasive, explaining the affairs of the Xuan Tian Sect very clearly along the way. She even mentioned the junior elders who were common in the sect, as well as the intermediate elders who were less so.
She also explained everything to the senior elders in charge of important matters. Although it was to prevent the new disciples from offending the elders, it sounded like a very kind senior sister to the new disciples.
"Oh right, this is the disciples' residence." Senior Sister Yao reached out and sent out a token, which caused a faint ripple to appear in the air.
As the ripples spread out like waves on water, a dwelling was revealed: "This is my residence. You will all infuse your spiritual power into your disciple tokens, which will guide you to your respective residences."
After a pause, Senior Sister Yao glanced at the disciples behind her and said, "My last piece of advice is that when you cultivate in the Xuan Tian Sect, it's best to be as patient as possible. There are plenty of geniuses in this sect, and one wrong word could lead to your death."
After saying that, Senior Sister Yao strode away. She had only come to do the job of guiding disciples for the sake of sect contribution points, and now that the matter was over, she naturally went back to collect her reward.
Immediately, the disciples who had been somewhat lively fell silent, and the young men and women who had been somewhat confident became somewhat apprehensive.
However, Ruan Qingyu was used to it. In her previous life, it wasn't this Senior Sister Yao who took her under her wing. Instead, it was a more unfamiliar senior brother who not only spoke very realistically but also demanded a lot of spirit stones before leaving at the last moment.
A senior sister who doesn't rob her junior brothers and sisters is already considered an exceptionally good senior sister in the sect. Thinking this, Ruan Qingyu infused the token in her hand with spiritual power.
As it absorbed spiritual energy, the token instantly lit up and flew in one direction. It immediately opened up the open space, revealing a small wooden house.
This was clearly her future training ground. Seeing this, Lü Liangke followed suit. She painstakingly extracted a wisp of spiritual energy, activated the token, and immediately followed.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar building, Ruan Qingyu realized it was the same place where she used to live. After thinking for a moment, she decided to use some techniques she had learned from her ancestral home.
The spiritual energy in his hands transformed into soft, orange-red flames, which floated in mid-air. As the incantation was recited, they instantly expanded and spread throughout the entire room.
After covering all the furniture, it slowly dissipated after a quarter of an hour. The furniture and wooden walls that reappeared in front of Ruan Qingyu were all brand new.
It was completely unrecognizable from its humble beginnings. If it weren't for the fact that it still looked like a simple wooden house from the outside, one might have thought that Ruan Qingyu had already established a foundation on it, which was why she possessed such powerful magic.
Yun Yin had jumped down from Ruan Qingyu's chest the moment she entered. He shook his fur vigorously before casually surveying the room.
Seeing that Ruan Qingyu was still standing in the center of the house, seemingly lost in thought, he realized that this place was probably another familiar place from his previous life.
"Stop dwelling on the past. Your top priority right now is to reach the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible. Otherwise, you'll suffer every day looking at that enemy. And your enemy might be trying to capture you again to draw your blood." Yun Yin walked around for a moment, then found a futon and lay down.
Yun Yin's words were true, and Ruan Qingyu showed no displeasure. She nodded, taking his words to heart.
However, the first thing to deal with is Zhang Zitao, who is in the Foundation Establishment stage. This senior brother was the one who helped the most in the chase against her.
The two met by chance, before she was betrayed by her family elders. After meeting Zhang Zitao, the two went on many missions together.
As a result, she gained a lot of benefits in the process of being captured. She still remembered her last escape; at that time, Zhang Zitao had already reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm, and he had obviously gained a lot of benefits from Chen Tian.
Thinking of this, Ruan Qingyu felt an intense hatred for Zhang Zitao. The best solution would be to kill Zhang Zitao in the secret realm that suddenly appeared six months later.
The trials in secret realms have always been a matter of luck and strength; if one dies in a secret realm, no one will hold one accountable.
Thinking about her current cultivation speed, Ruan Qingyu's lips curled up slightly. She was very confident in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage; now she only needed to cultivate to the peak of the Qi Refining stage.
Once she had an idea, she did it. After spending a few days studying in the ancestral space to gain more time for cultivation, Ruan Qingyu calmed down and set out to enter the Foundation Establishment stage in one go.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Ruan Qingyu felt her meridians expanding continuously, as if pierced by silver needles, with a dense, throbbing pain.
Along with this pain came a large amount of fire elemental energy being absorbed into the body. It circulated back and forth within the torn dantian and meridians, constantly rebuilding and being destroyed again.
The process was agonizing, but Ruan Qingyu gritted her teeth and endured it. The most noticeable change was that her meridians, after being damaged, would quickly crack open again when repaired.
Now, the meridians only feel a slow, tingling sensation as they repair themselves, but there is no longer any feeling of further damage. The fire elemental energy is no longer being absorbed in half and dissipated in half.
All of it obediently circulated along with the cultivation technique and was stored in the dantian. It was at this moment that the previously normal facial features and exposed skin began to show signs of change.
A dark red liquid kept flowing out, another round of impurities being expelled. As these impurities were eliminated, Ruan Qingyu felt completely relaxed, as if she were sleeping on a cloud.
It seems that "Little Phoenix Heaven" noticed the changes in Ruan Qingyu's body. After absorbing more fire spiritual energy, it simply took one last step and helped Ruan Qingyu break through to the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage.
However, upon reaching the ninth level, things suddenly slowed down. This anomaly wasn't due to anything going wrong, but rather because Ruan Qingyu helplessly realized that her consciousness had once again been pulled into the Phoenix Ancestral Land.
She opened her eyes and found herself in the familiar ancestral space. Orange-red feathers slowly landed in front of her, seemingly conveying some message.
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Qingyu placed her finger on it without hesitation, and instantly a powerful spiritual energy entered her consciousness.
The "Great Phoenix Heaven" technique is the most advanced technique for the Phoenix bloodline. It is said that one can cultivate it to the point of ascension, and if one becomes an immortal, one can advance to the next level.
It is a gift from Heaven to the Phoenix Clan, but cultivating this technique will bring many trials. Passing them means invincibility, while failure means death.
Ruan Qingyu didn't give the warning much thought; her fate was an unexpected stroke of luck. If she were to give up this Heaven-level cultivation technique because of this inexplicable good fortune, she might as well not join the Xuan Tian Sect at all.
"Thank you." Ruan Qingyu looked solemnly at the still floating feather. She had a premonition that this would be the last technique she would be taught.
The magical feather seemed delighted upon hearing her thanks, trembling a few times before slowly disappearing.
As Ruan Qingyu regained consciousness, she examined herself again and discovered that she had reached the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage.
However, she would have to wait a while longer to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. After thinking for a moment, Ruan Qingyu looked at her own thick, blackened impurities from those years, and then at Yun Yin, who was already used to it.
"Hiding so far away?" Ruan Qingyu looked at the little black leopard in the corner with amusement. She herself felt fine smelling it.
Yun Yin bared his teeth and let out a faint roar before saying, "You yourself may not mind, but it smells terrible to me."
Immediately, Ruan Qingyu stopped teasing him. She clasped her hands together and cast a cleansing spell. The grime on her body gradually disappeared, and Ruan Qingyu's aura became increasingly ethereal.
If she initially possessed an 80% charm when she first entered the sect, now she exudes a 90% aura of a cultivator. Furthermore, due to the gradual change in her physique, Ruan Qingyu's current appearance bears no resemblance whatsoever to the Ruan family.
Only after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage can the blood of the Ruan family be completely removed from the body. At that time, one can truly cultivate the immortal path with the body of a phoenix beast.
"Yunyin, do I need to go outside to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?" Out of caution, Ruan Qingyu decided to ask Yunyin.
Unexpectedly, Yun Yin shook his head: "No need. You can cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage within the Xuan Tian Sect. If you go outside, there's no guarantee that someone with ulterior motives won't take advantage of you."
In ancient times, people valued the energy between heaven and earth, but the cultivation world has long since passed through ten thousand years. That method is no longer necessary, and fire spiritual energy is everywhere, but for some reason, it is particularly abundant in the Xuan Tian Sect.
Thinking this through, Yunyin expressed his feelings.
But then Ruan Qingyu said calmly, "That's normal. If you and I could return here, then it must be because I was in the Xuantian Sect when I underwent Nirvana. It must be a kind of cause and effect."
In the land of Nirvana, entering the foundation-building stage of transcending the physical body and mortal form, is this not a kind of destiny?
“In the past, I was only at the Foundation Establishment stage until my death, but now, in less than half a year, I am about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.” As she finished speaking, Ruan Qingyu felt that life was unpredictable and so many things could happen.
Yun Yin stood up and moved closer to Ruan Qingyu's feet: "Why think so much? You are completely different now. For races with ancient bloodlines like yours and mine, cultivation is just a matter of a snap of the fingers."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Qingyu glanced at Yun Yin with amusement: "So how long will it take you to recover? Judging from your current physique, even if the sect leader came, he would probably just think you're an ordinary leopard demon."
Unexpectedly, Ruan Qingyu turned her attention to him, which made Yun Yin feel somewhat annoyed. He vented his frustration by biting her skirt until he saw two holes in it, then he lay down contentedly.
Before he could even feel happy, Ruan Qingyu grabbed him by the back of the neck and lifted him up in the blink of an eye.
"I only have a few dresses, how many have you bitten off?" Ruan Qingyu glared at Yun Yin, only to see him pretending to be dead with his eyes closed.
Yunyin suddenly opened his eyes: "What's this? Once I recover, I'll find you some fine robes to wear. Robes won't get dirty or break so easily."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head guiltily.
Seeing this, Ruan Qingyu shook her head helplessly and could only warn, "You can't bite like that again next time. If you do it again, I'll lock you out."
Seeing that Ruan Qingyu's eyes seemed to be filled with a flame, Yun Yin twitched his ears and immediately nodded to indicate that he understood.
