"Ding-dong~" Zhu Yi was woken up early in the morning by the alarm clock next to her.
At five o'clock in the morning, sunlight shone through the water and reflected onto the bottom of Lotus Lake.
The floating lotus leaves on Lotus Lake blocked out the morning light. Zhu Yi got up and sat quietly on the lotus platform, staring blankly at the segments of sunlight.
So sleepy. I have to get up early to practice swordsmanship, then memorize texts, and then study the techniques. It's going to be another busy and fulfilling day!
Zhu Yi took out her personal notebook and made some adjustments to her previously made daily training plan.
She clearly felt that she made greater progress in her cultivation at the bottom of Lotus Lake at night.
She had originally planned to study late into the night, but she ended up learning magic instead. Sure enough, plans need to be adjusted in time.
She climbed ashore with her clothes wet, but was stopped by Zhao Cai after only a couple of steps: "Meow!"
"Grill me fish today!" the little black cat said haughtily, tossed his head, and walked away.
"Didn't we roast it yesterday?" Zhu Yi hesitated. She had a lot of things to do today and didn't have time to feed Zhao Cai!
"Hmph, you made such a racket cultivating in the lake last night, the whole mountain was breathing spiritual energy for you. This cat was protecting you, so of course you have to make me grilled fish, meow!" Zhao Cai was furious! Little Junior Sister is so unfair, meow! Exploiting my labor...
Zhu Yi asked curiously, "What's all that noise? I just feel that the spiritual energy in Lotus Lake is unusually well-behaved, and a lot of small spiritual energy beads are falling down!"
"Meow~ I don't care, I just want to eat grilled fish. If I don't get grilled fish, I'll be unhappy tonight. If I'm unhappy, I'll let the rat spirit from the bamboo forest next door come and dig a hole in your Sweet Peach Peak..." Zhao Cai threatened Zhu Yi with bared teeth.
Well, how should I put it? This little black cat always manages to ambush Zhu Yi, to the point that she's gotten used to grilling one or two fish every day and sharing them with it...
"How about we have barbecue today? I'm so busy today, I don't have time to gut and clean the fish." Zhu Yi thought for a moment, "I'll buy some meat from the cafeteria and grill it for you, okay?"
Zhaocai was satisfied and let it go. Although it enjoys eating grilled fish every day, it also wants to try other things.
The little black cat leisurely walked away, carrying the small wool blanket in its mouth. Zhu Yi scratched her head, looking at its idle appearance: A Nascent Soul stage cat, can't beat it, might as well just give up and be exploited by it...
Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone. Since she was going to prepare some barbecue today, she decided to ask Xue Shan and Wei Wei if they wanted to come along.
This morning, Zhu Yi felt that her sword practice had improved considerably compared to yesterday.
The swordplay she displayed today seemed to have a lot more power; her sword strokes were crisp and clean.
This set of sword moves is called "Morning Clouds and Evening Rain," consisting of thirteen moves. Just hearing the name is a perfect match for her superior Morning Dew Sword.
The Morning Dew Sword was given to her by Master Yujing.
Zhu Yi tried to gather spiritual power into the sword, and sure enough, the sword move he made was much more powerful than before. Wherever the sword pointed, a large section of a peach tree in the distance was instantly cut off...
This is really infuriating! Zhao Cai was digging for poop under the tree, squinting and wrinkling its nose as it strained, when a branch fell right in front of it, and the poop immediately shrank back!
"Meow! You're going to drive me crazy! If you want to practice your sword, go to the Sword Sect's trial formation! Don't destroy the peach trees here in Peach Mountain and ruin my pooping mood, meow!"
Looking at the grinning Zhao Cai in front of her, Zhu Yi couldn't help but find it amusing, yet she also realized that Zhao Cai was right; she couldn't practice her sword here and damage the trees of Peach Mountain...
After she ran to the Sword Sect and practiced basic sword techniques with spiritual power in the trial array for an hour, she was completely exhausted...
The spiritual energy in her dantian is not very strong right now, so she uses it intermittently.
After circulating her wood-elemental energy for one cycle, she felt a little relaxed and really wanted to take a bath.
However, this idea was too extravagant. Zhu Yi cast a cleansing spell and saw Xue Shan practicing sword moves not far away.
Xue Shan was very focused on practicing her swordplay, and Zhu Yi did not go over to disturb her.
She went to the sect's dining hall alone for breakfast, and while she was there, she also discussed with the uncle that she should take more breakfast back with her every morning so that she wouldn't have to come to the dining hall for lunch and dinner.
The only disciple personally taught by Master Yujing, he is revered by the entire sect! When this junior disciple was injured while traveling, Master Yujing simply waved his hand and sealed off the Tian Sha Sect for a long time. With such awe-inspiring power, who would dare to provoke him?
The canteen uncle was quite perceptive and kindly told Zhu Yi that he would prepare a special meal for her every morning, including a normal breakfast, plus a meat dish, a vegetable dish, and some spirit rice, which would be enough for her for the day...
To wish her a happy wedding, I prepaid for ten days' worth of meals. Before leaving, I also bought two slaughtered chickens, four lamb chops, some mushrooms, eggs, and vegetables from the uncle...
After packing her things into her storage bag, Zhu Yi felt a little suspicious. She felt like she hadn't come here to cultivate immortality, but rather to farm and enjoy a farm-style barbecue...
Eating is such a hassle, don't ask her why she didn't take any fasting pills... Zhao Cai told her: her soul has only been back in its place for less than two years, so she needs to eat properly and sleep well. Forget about fasting pills, just keep grilling fish for her every day!
In a quarter of an hour, Zhu Yi jogged back to Peach Blossom Lodge.
Jogging is good exercise, and it feels pretty good.
Zhu Yi set her alarm; she would spend the next two hours reading and studying, and then in the afternoon she would circulate her spiritual energy to practice magic...
Today, Zhu Yi continued reading "A Brief History of the Immortal Cultivation World Over Ten Thousand Years." With her books spread out on the desk, she took out a stack of white paper and began drawing maps on the paper while referring to "Detailed Explanation of the Regions of the Canglan Continent (Illustrated)." She manually sketched maps, marked historical events, and labeled relevant figures.
When she was studying history and geography, she always liked to copy the relevant content from the books onto blank paper.
There are connections between disciplines. To systematically master them, one needs to patiently read through their events, analyze the influencing factors behind these events, and understand the conditions, geographical locations, local customs, and traditions in which they occurred.
The more you know, the more detailed your knowledge framework becomes, the more you reveal your own ignorance and insignificance...
How exactly did a historical event happen? We need to consider not only the important figures associated with the event, but also the environment in which the parties involved lived.
Just like eight thousand years ago, when a demon from Nanchuan ascended to the Great Dao, he exhausted all the spiritual energy in the Nanchuan region in one go.
After he ascended to heaven, the spirit realm did not bestow divine blessings upon Nanchuan, causing the vegetation in Nanchuan to wither and spiritual energy to become scarce.
The demons of Nanchuan, who had not received divine blessings for a long time, were resentful and began to seize resources from their neighbors' territories.
They came with great force and began to launch wars against other parts of the Canglan Continent, prompting cultivators from the Eastern Continent, Western Continent, and Northern Frontier to join forces to suppress them.
This century-long civil war on the Canglan Continent, fought over cultivation resources, ultimately ended in Nanchuan's defeat.
To appease the demon race of Nanchuan, the cultivators of the Eastern Continent, Western Continent, and Northern Fortress negotiated and provided Nanchuan with a lot of spiritual resources... From then on, the Canglan Continent was riddled with holes and entered a period of recuperation. No one who cultivated here was able to ascend to the Spirit Realm.
Unbeknownst to her, Zhu Yi had already quickly compiled a brief outline of the first two thousand years of the cultivation world. She put down her pen and paper, did some eye exercises, got up to stretch her muscles and bones, and let out a long sigh: "They say reading history makes people wise. Let's just give up. The spirit world doesn't even send down divine blessings to bathe us anymore. No one can ascend successfully. Why are these cultivators still dreaming of cultivating and ascending every day?"
