"Spiritual food is so much more comfortable!"
After eating the spiritual meal, Rong Xi felt much better.
This kind of comfort is far more pleasant than taking any magic pill.
All spiritual practitioners originate from ordinary people.
Food is the most important thing for people; this is an ironclad rule in the mortal world.
Once one becomes a cultivator, one can absorb spiritual energy, live on wind and dew, and not feel hungry even after going for a long time without eating. But the comfort that comes from a full meal is already imprinted on one's soul.
"Alright, everyone's full. Now, let's get back to our cultivation!"
Rong Xi clapped her hands, sending everyone off to cultivate, while she herself also seized the time to cultivate.
In this Qing Dynasty, where cultivation is paramount, the strong are respected. As long as one is strong enough, what does the emperor matter?
Of course, Rong Xi was actually feeling a deep sense of crisis at this time.
Despite having the ancient ferocious beasts Taotie and Qiongqi as her battle mounts, her own cultivation level is still too low.
If one's own strength is insufficient, one can easily be beheaded.
Emperor Kangxi faked his death. Although he once said that he did not want to be emperor, but only wanted to find a confidante and live a carefree life, Rongxi still felt uneasy whenever she thought of him.
The Kangxi Emperor she knew was accomplished in both civil administration and military affairs.
The Kangxi Emperor in this timeline is vastly different from the Kangxi Emperor she knows. Such a huge difference is unbelievable.
Even if this time and space is a time and space for cultivation, the contrast with Kangxi is too great and hard to accept.
If Kangxi's feigned death was just a setup, then his return would surely be a great calamity for her.
Therefore, Rong Xi must strive to improve her cultivation level.
Previously, the system had provided special assistance in helping her improve her cultivation level. But now, this terrible system, besides sending her a series of difficult tasks, offers no help whatsoever.
The system no longer provides cultivation assistance, so Rong Xi has to rely on herself.
After a night of cultivation, his cultivation level is still quite far from advancing to the Golden Core realm.
You've taken the final step, but actually crossing that threshold is very difficult.
Rong Xi was somewhat frustrated. Why were Consort Li and Consort Song able to cross this threshold so quickly?
At this moment, she completely forgot that it had only been a month or so since she began cultivating and had reached the half-step Golden Core realm. In comparison, Consort Song and Consort Li were the ones who should be feeling frustrated.
Thinking of Consort Li and Consort Song, Magpie knocked on the door and popped her head out, saying respectfully, "Master, Consort Li and Consort Song have come to pay their respects!"
"Please let them in!"
"yes!"
With Rong Xi's permission, the magpie hopped and skipped to invite Consort Song and Consort Li, who were waiting outside, into the room.
In just a short while, Consort Song and Consort Li stood before Rong Xi, paying their respects and greetings.
"Please sit down!"
Rong Xi smiled and pointed to the chair next to her.
Consort Song and Consort Li quickly expressed their gratitude and took their seats on either side.
Rong Xi looked at the two women, who had regained their sisterly affection, and smiled slightly, saying, "From now on, let's skip the morning and evening greetings! If you have time, you should cultivate more. We are currently in this small border town, with demonic beasts and ferocious beasts eyeing us covetously, so we dare not slack off in the slightest!"
"I will heed your teachings, Madam!"
"I will definitely cultivate diligently to relieve the worries of the Princess and the Prince!"
Consort Song and Consort Li spoke one after the other.
This attitude was extremely respectful.
Rong Xi smiled faintly and said, "That's excellent!"
To be honest, Rong Xi really had absolutely nothing in common with these two. She simply didn't have the patience for idle chatter. She'd rather use that time to absorb a couple more spirit stones.
With her five spiritual roots, she needs five times the spiritual energy of a person with a single spiritual root to advance her cultivation level. Furthermore, the difficulty of breaking through to a higher realm is several times greater than that of a cultivator with a single spiritual root.
In short, cultivating with the five spiritual roots is extremely difficult.
If Rong Xi hadn't received the help from the system, she probably wouldn't even have been able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage by now.
"If you have nothing else to do, you may go back!"
Not wanting to waste time with the two of them, Rong Xi simply told them to leave.
"My lady, I have a request!"
However, Consort Li spoke slowly when Rong Xi asked her to leave.
"What is it?"
Rong Xi frowned slightly and looked at Consort Li.
From the moment she began her cultivation, she showed her dislike for the two of them. This attitude, even now, has not softened much.
With the discerning eyesight of Consort Song and Consort Li, Rong Xi didn't believe they couldn't see it.
Under such circumstances, Consort Li actually dared to ask for a favor, which surprised Rong Xi. This Consort Li really has a thick skin!
"I have heard that Your Highness's battle pets can capture demonic beasts alive. I would like to ask Your Highness for a spiritual meal!"
Spiritual food!
When Consort Li stated her request, Rong Xi was immediately speechless.
This person is really straightforward.
Spiritual food has immense benefits for those who cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage. However, for cultivators at the Golden Core stage, spiritual food primarily satisfies their appetite.
At least, that's what Rong Xi thinks.
And it's no wonder Rong Xi thought that way. After all, when she was cultivating, she accepted all spiritual energy from heaven and earth without any prejudice against anything raw or cold.
However, other cultivators have limitations on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The spiritual energy from heaven and earth obtained through spiritual food, regardless of its attribute, will ultimately be transformed into the spiritual energy needed by the cultivator without any harm.
This is something that even the most miraculous elixirs cannot possess.
This is precisely why spiritual cuisine is priced higher than elixirs. After all, medicine is inherently toxic. Spiritual cuisine, on the other hand, is a form of dietary supplement. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth used in its preparation is transformed by the body's five internal organs, causing no adverse reactions to cultivators.
"This princess does indeed have extra provisions, but, Consort Li, what do you intend to offer in exchange?"
Divine food is extremely rare; Rong Xi would be foolish to offer it to Consorts Li and Song for free. No matter how you look at it, in a sense, they are her rivals in love.
Alright, once she completely breaks up with the Fourth Prince, whatever happens between the two of them will no longer concern Rong Xi about a spirit stone.
"I possess a treasure map, and I am willing to exchange it for it!"
Consort Li respectfully took out a treasure map made of some kind of animal hide from her storage bracelet.
"bite!"
When the treasure map fell into Rong Xi's hands, the system, that lousy thing, issued another notification.
"Main quest: Find the hidden ancient treasure!"
"Mission failed, host has been turned into a giant zombie!"
Upon hearing the system's message, Rong Xi had only one feeling: this damn system definitely couldn't stand to see her doing well!
……
Happy New Year, everyone! Goodnight, see you next year!
