Hehe, she's just an ordinary citizen. She doesn't have the ability to change the world and bring divine blessings back to the spirit realm just by being passionate and doing her own thing.
All she can do is cultivate diligently, surpass Zhu Qianying, and avoid being bullied by her in the future...
Ascension and the like are too far away; Zhu Yi just wants to survive for now.
Others might find Zhu Yi's idea ridiculous, but Zhu Yi felt that instead of indulging in those distant fantasies, she should focus on how she and Zhao Cai would cook chicken that night!
If she could, she would like to leave something behind in the world of cultivation, but so what?
She's just a junior disciple at the Qi Refining stage right now; she should pursue those lofty goals after she reaches the Golden Core stage.
When granaries are full, people know etiquette; when food and clothing are plentiful, people know honor and shame.
In this world where strength reigns supreme, the prerequisite for her to protect others is to possess immense strength—the strength to not be easily beaten in the street, and the strength to not be used as a pawn by her family…
Zhu Yi finished her lunch feeling down, and suddenly realized that she was a bit of a loser.
Lacking exceptional talent and unwilling to set lofty goals for herself, she thought that her serious cultivation was only to surpass Zhu Qianying.
"Just give up," the working class feels conflicted and sensitive, but reality is something they have to face.
Looking out at the peach orchard, Zhu Yi suddenly realized that perhaps it wasn't so difficult to keep working hard.
Why are you backing out before even trying?
At worst, five years later, when Zhu Qianying tries to make a move on her, she can try to avoid it if she can't beat her! Doesn't Zhu Qianying like Su Linyuan? Then she'll snatch Su Linyuan away before Zhu Qianying makes a move, and make her furious right in front of her... Haha, just imagining Su Linyuan's disgusted expression appearing on Zhu Qianying's delicate face actually makes her feel... kind of cool!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yi suddenly felt much better. Indeed, intellectual progress still needs the contrast of peers.
The wood elemental energy circulated through her body for a full cycle, eliminating Zhu Yi's fatigue from this morning.
She continued studying the "Lotus Heart Melody" in the courtyard of Peach Blossom Cottage. The bamboo slips were not long, and Zhu Yi quickly recited the incantation once.
Then she used wood, water, and earth spiritual energy to circulate the incantation of "The Lotus Heart Melody," quietly feeling the stimulation brought to her by each spiritual power.
The water's essence is moist and translucent, and wherever it flows, it gently nourishes every inch of the meridians.
The wood elemental energy is light and soothing, carrying a feeling of vitality and renewal.
The earth elemental energy was profound and boundless. When Zhu Yi circulated the earth elemental energy once and it flowed into his dantian, he suddenly entered a state of selflessness.
Amidst the vast expanse of land, only Zhu Yi remained.
There are no predecessors before me, nor successors after me.
What lies beneath our feet and behind us on the ground?
Soil contains various granular minerals, water, air, organic matter, microorganisms, and humus...
Spring has arrived, and various small insects will slowly crawl out of the soil, and many small animals will dig holes and make nests in the soil.
Everything in our lives takes place on the land: building houses, roads, planting crops...
Zhu Yi formed hand seals, repeating the incantation she had learned from Shui Jing the night before. Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind.
Cultivators in the cultivation world generally believe that cultivating with a single spiritual root is easier, while cultivating with multiple spiritual roots is more troublesome. Often, cultivators with dual spiritual roots will choose one spiritual root as their main focus of cultivation, while using the other as a supplementary aid.
Is there another possibility? The five elements interacting in a generating and restraining relationship.
Could she try using the principle of mutual generation of the five elements for cultivation? And in actual combat, could she use the principle of mutual restraint of the five elements to increase her advantage?
Whether human, demon, monster, or god, all are born between heaven and earth. No matter how powerful their cultivation, they cannot compare with the Creator. Everyone cultivates by relying on the Five Elements and uses the power of heaven and earth for their own benefit.
Zhu Yi's hand seals became smoother and faster, and the white jade lantern hairpin in her jet-black hair rose up and gradually enlarged in front of her, transforming into a bright lamp that quietly hung on the peach tree in the courtyard.
At this moment, the white jade lantern was not for Zhu Yi's illumination. Under the afternoon sunlight, the luster of the white jade lantern could not be seen; it was absorbing the sunlight for its own use.
The spirit of the white jade lantern transformed into a small mermaid, comfortably crawling out from the corner of the lantern and sitting quietly on the head of it. It then placed the small pink and green spiritual beads it had collected the night before into the hand seal on Zhu Yi's hand.
The little mermaid gave Zhu Yi a total of seven small spiritual energy beads, which is the limit of spiritual power that Zhu Yi can currently withstand.
The small beads were processed into lotus flower shapes by hand seals and infused with spiritual energy into Zhu Yi's body.
Zhu Yi consciously mobilized 90% of the water spiritual energy in her body to impact all her meridians, leaving 10% of the water spiritual energy to guard her dantian.
The water elemental energy that flowed into the dantian paused briefly at the water elemental root before moving to the wood elemental root. The wood elemental energy instantly surged within the body, and a tremendous vitality enveloped Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi drew out ninety percent of the wood spiritual energy that filled her dantian and began to use it to cleanse the eight extraordinary meridians throughout her body.
Water nourishes wood, and the veins that were previously nourished by the water spirit instantly became a paradise for the growth of wood spirit energy!
Zhu Yi felt the spiritual energy within her body circulating in an orderly fashion. After the wood spiritual energy returned to her dantian, the fire spiritual energy also began to generate and circulate. Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, and metal generates water...
After circulating spiritual energy for five cycles, Zhu Yi felt full of power, and the feeling of spiritual energy filling her body was refreshing!
She was overjoyed! The white jade lantern hairpin, sensing the change in its owner, automatically flew to Zhu Yifa's room, flashing two or three times eagerly to express its congratulations.
Zhu Yi was astonished to discover that she had made a breakthrough!
She is currently at the second level of Qi Refining!
Zhu Yi suddenly felt that if she could continue cultivating at this speed, she might as well pursue a higher goal and live a simple life!
She couldn't help but smile. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed before her eyes. Before Zhu Yi could see what it was, she heard a familiar voice.
"Meow! It's already late afternoon. Even if you've broken through, don't forget the barbecue you're making for me today, meow!" Zhao Cai had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, its patience almost wearing thin with the setting sun!
"Hehe, Lucky Junior Sister, don't rush me, I'm just happy that I broke through!" Zhu Yi was very happy, so she naturally took out the barbecue grill and the ingredients she bought from the canteen uncle in the morning to start cooking.
Her Peach Blossom Cottage has a water supply system made of bamboo and wood, and a separate small kitchen, which is very convenient to use.
She glanced at her pocket watch; it was six o'clock in the evening. She still preferred to use modern timekeeping methods to tell the time, otherwise, always looking at the sundial and water clock felt like something was missing.
After obtaining Zhao Cai's consent, Zhu Yi was about to send messages to Xue Shan and Wei Weiwei to invite them when her jade mobile phone rang.
"Junior Sister Zhu Yi, are you busy right now? Could you come over to the outer disciples of the Talisman Sect?" Xue Shan's tone was somewhat serious. "Junior Sister Weiwei has been bullied by the female disciples of the Talisman Sect!"
