In the days that followed, the two of them hardly ever stepped out of the courtyard.
More accurately, it was a space that never left Yan Yu's.
The spiritual energy in this space is so rich that you could wring water out of it, and the flow of time is different from that in the outside world; it is a blessed cultivation ground bestowed by heaven.
The days flew by in the quiet process of self-cultivation.
Ruan Tang's cultivation advanced rapidly. The so-called bottleneck was as thin as a sheet of paper for her, easily broken through. After consuming a mountain of spirit stones, the spiritual power within her body finally reached its peak, surging like a tide through her meridians.
Qi Refining Stage Perfection!
It's just one step away from laying the foundation.
Yan Yu's progress was equally astonishing. He was a max-level expert who had fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and his physical foundation was as solid as a rock. Cultivating the "Kun Yuan Golden Soul Technique" was like a fish in water for him.
In a short period of time, he rushed all the way to the eighth level of Qi Refining.
To his even greater surprise, as his cultivation level improved, his long-dormant lightning-type ability was also activated, breaking through to the fifth rank in one fell swoop.
Now, with just a thought, a tiny golden arc of electricity would leap from his fingertips, leaving a faint smell of ozone in the air. His destructive power is now several levels stronger than before.
Just as Ruan Tang was consolidating her cultivation, she suddenly sensed something unusual.
After her water spirit root reached its ultimate perfection, it seemed to be undergoing some kind of miraculous transformation. It was no longer purely clear; it contained a very subtle, vibrant green hue, sharing the same origin as Ruomu's aura.
She tried to look inside her, but she always felt like she was looking through a thin mist and couldn't see clearly.
Ruan Tang thought about it and roughly guessed what was going on.
Perhaps it is the power of Ruomu that is subtly transforming her physical constitution. As for what she will ultimately become, we will probably have to wait until she reaches the Foundation Establishment stage to find out.
She stopped dwelling on the matter and focused her attention on the outside world.
The messages sent back by Psylocke remained calm and peaceful.
At the educated youth settlement, everyone slept peacefully every night and worked from sunrise to sunset, showing no signs of anything unusual.
The person hiding in the shadows had the patience of a top-notch hunter.
Even the greatest patience will eventually run out.
An Sanchuan didn't keep Ruan Tang and Yan Yu waiting for long.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.
It's late at night.
Every household in Jixiang Brigade was fast asleep, but the wind and snow outside the window grew heavier. Large, feathery snowflakes fell silently, threatening to bury the whole world in pure white.
All was quiet except for the sound of falling snow.
On the warm kang (heated brick bed) in Yan Yu's house, Ruan Tang suddenly opened her eyes.
Having been "watching the show" from Psylocke's perspective, she finally got to see the opening act.
Just now, an extremely faint energy fluctuation came from An Sanchuan's bed in the educated youth settlement.
