Ye Xiruo rolled her eyes, clapped her hands, and said, "You little brat, trying to mess with me? I'll make you furious."
"Alright, stop playing around and come out." Ye Xiruo yawned, preparing to go back to sleep.
Xiu Qiyu slowly descended from mid-air, her robes fluttering as she swept Ling Bai and a few others away, leaving them at the doorway.
How are you feeling?
"I feel much better, thank you, Brother Xiu Qi." If Xiu Qiyu hadn't returned in time, she might have been tempted to grab a brick and knock Ling Bai unconscious.
A grown man, yet he buzzed around the yard like a fly.
Ye Xiruo suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Your injury is healed."
Xiu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, I went out and bought a few pills."
"Are elixirs really that miraculous?"
"Not all pills are so miraculous. Pills are graded, and even pills of the same grade are divided into superior, medium, and inferior grades."
Ye Xiruo said with a hint of envy, "I will definitely become a great alchemist."
Xiu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, I'll wait."
The vow they made in their youth, even they themselves never imagined, would one day become a reality. He became the most famous swordsman in the world, and she became the most outstanding alchemist. Standing together, they became legends across the entire continent.
After a simple lunch, the two went into their spatial realm to cultivate. Ye Xiruo's main purpose was to heal his injuries, while Xiu Qiyu's was to further digest the gains from the previous life-or-death battle. He believed that it wouldn't be long before he successfully advanced to the late Golden Core stage and broke through to the Nascent Soul stage within five years, becoming the youngest Nascent Soul Venerable in the Taiyan Continent.
"System, do you have any pills that can quickly restore mental energy?!"
"Insufficient permissions, unable to redeem."
"Were you beaten up? Why can't you use anything? Everything is broken."
If the system could come out now, it would definitely want to kill its host; it's a complete finisher.
"Your level is too low; you do not have permission to view this content."
"What do you need to restore it?" Ye Xiruo could tell at this moment that the system must have suffered great damage to become like this.
"Medicinal herbs, spiritual energy, and elixir energy."
Ye Xiruo squinted, realizing that quite a few spirit stones were needed: "Spirit stones, do you want some?"
"A high-grade spirit stone." The system's voice remained completely flat.
Ye Xiruo was grinding her teeth; was she doing it on purpose? She'd never even seen a high-grade spirit stone before.
"Is there any way to recover faster so that I can grow medicinal herbs and learn alchemy once I'm healed?"
"In the yellow spring water, half an hour."
"Wow, that's great!" She was just saying it casually, but she didn't expect there to actually be a solution.
Immersed in the spring water, Ye Xiruo closed her eyes and began to cultivate. Streams of cool energy washed over her mind with each movement of her cultivation technique. Ye Xiruo felt light and airy all over; the feeling of her spiritual energy gradually filling her was truly wonderful. She believed it was comparable to those miraculous elixirs!
As a tireless cultivator, Ye Xi's spiritual power in his sea of consciousness rapidly recovered and expanded. At first, it was just a thin, almost transparent white, but gradually the white spiritual power gathered and surged, revealing a hint of red.
This was a sign that her mental strength was about to upgrade. Ye Xiruo could be considered to have turned misfortune into blessing this time. Originally, her haphazard use of mental strength would have greatly affected her future cultivation. However, with the help of the spring water, her mental strength recovered rapidly and was significantly improved in quality.
Xiu Qiyu, who was meditating in front of the thatched hut, sensed the change in the spiritual energy in the air and slowly opened his eyes. The place where Ye Xiruo was now filled with spiritual energy. He could detect that Ye Xiruo's spiritual energy was constantly condensing when he probed with his spiritual power. Once she finished her cultivation, her strength would definitely increase greatly.
Even with Xiu Qiyu's talent, he couldn't help but feel jealous now. Ye Xiruo not only had heaven-defying talent, but also heaven-defying luck.
He casually strolled around the inner circle and inexplicably entered the fusion period; in a moment of desperation, he saved someone, and now his mental strength is surging.
Fortunately, Ye Xi wasn't an enemy; otherwise, he would have killed her immediately. Such talent, such luck, such comprehension—if she were allowed to grow, she would surely become a nightmare.
These past two days, Xiu Qiyu has been severely affected. If this happened outside, I wonder how many people would have committed suicide.
This time, the spring water was yellow. Xiu Qiyu looked thoughtfully at Ye Xiruo soaking in the spring water, his doubts growing. The green spring water was for healing, the yellow one was probably related to mental power, but what about the other spring waters? Although he was very curious, he did not try them rashly. After all, this was Ye Xiruo's space, and if something irreversible happened, they would probably die here.
What truly unsettled Xiu Qiyu was the lotus flower, now reduced to a withered branch, surrounded by the spring. That oppressive aura, that ancient and profound presence, might very well be a divine medicine left behind by a powerful ancient being.
I just wonder if he will ever see the lotus flowers in full bloom; it must be the most beautiful sight in the world.
After observing Ye Xiruo and finding no danger, Xiu Qiyu took out five high-grade spirit stones and set up a simple spirit-gathering array around Ye Xiruo.
The Spirit Gathering Array rose, and the spiritual energy in the space rapidly gathered around Ye Xiruo at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Relax your mind, your mental strength is about to break through."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ye Xiruo felt even more relaxed. Although she didn't know what risks there were in breaking through her mental strength, she was sure that everything would be alright with Xiu Qiyu there.
In her eyes, Xiu Qiyu was almost a god. Sometimes she would even imagine that if Xiu Qiyu were compared with that senior brother who had already been deified, he would definitely not lose.
Ye Xiruo felt as if she had overeaten, her mind now filled with spiritual energy. How could she break through this barrier?
"Compress." That was the system's voice.
The image of compressed biscuits flashed through Ye Xiruo's mind; indeed, concentration is the essence. While absorbing spiritual energy, Ye Xiruo began compressing the white spiritual energy. At first, it was very easy; the spiritual energy seemed to work its own way, quickly compressing to one-tenth. However, after compressing to one-fifth, the difficulty of compression suddenly increased fivefold.
The spiritual energy in the spring water continued to pour in, and Ye Xiruo had the illusion that she would choke to death if she didn't drink some water soon. She couldn't care less about absorbing spiritual energy now; she focused all her attention on the spiritual energy in her sea of consciousness. It took her a full hour to finally compress it to one-third.
