"So comfortable!"
Something's up?
It doesn't exist!
Rong Xi had only one feeling right now: awesome, incredibly comfortable, like eating ice cream on a sweltering summer day, feeling completely relaxed. This feeling was simply indescribable.
When Granny Rui and Granny Xiang heard Rong Xi's answer, they were even more stunned!
If they were to absorb the spiritual energy within the spirit stone like Rong Xi, they would definitely feel their meridians bulging, as if they were about to burst at any moment.
However, the Fourth Princess Consort in front of me was actually quite comfortable!
Could it be that the path of cultivation opened by a person with five spiritual roots is truly beyond the comprehension of ordinary reasoning?
"Madam, are you sure you're alright?"
When the imperial carriage returned to the Fourth Prince's courtyard, Granny Rui, still unwilling to give up, pressed for an answer. Rong Xi was now carrying the Fourth Prince's child, and no carelessness could be tolerated.
"Granny Rui, you're overthinking it. I know my health very well!"
Rong Xi had already been very restrained so as not to frighten Granny Rui and the others.
In fact, after absorbing three spirit stones in succession, the illusory Five Elements cycle diagram in her eyes showed a number, a percentage number!
Three percent!
In other words, Rong Xi is currently only absorbing 3% of the maximum number of low-grade spirit stones.
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang were still a little worried, so they took Rong Xi's pulse and made sure that Rong Xi was indeed perfectly normal before they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, this princess consort is going to continue her cultivation!"
Rong Xi quickly dismissed Granny Rui and Granny Xiang, and sat cross-legged in the room.
The box next to it was opened!
The low-grade spirit stones in the box slowly emitted a faint spiritual energy, but it was still much higher than the concentration of spiritual energy in the palace.
Rong Xi activated the Hunyuan Technique, beginning to absorb the spiritual energy emanating from the low-grade spirit stone.
This time, Rong Xi decided not to target a single spirit stone, but to absorb the spiritual energy of all the spirit stones in the box. In this way, Granny Rui and Granny Xiang wouldn't notice that the number of spirit stones had suddenly decreased by dozens.
As for whether the absorption of spiritual energy from low-grade spirit stones would cause their quality to drop further, that was not Rong Xi's concern.
As Rong Xi began absorbing spiritual energy, the number of "likes" in front of her started to rise.
Extremely fast!
The number quickly reached ten percent, then jumped towards twenty percent...
The saying "There is no time in spiritual practice" is absolutely true.
Once Rong Xi started cultivating, she lost track of time.
By the time Granny Rui and Granny Xiang burst in and woke her from her meditative state, it was already evening.
"Sorry, I think I fell asleep!"
Rong Xi looked at the concerned and nervous Granny Rui and Granny Xiang, feeling a little guilty.
Of course, it was impossible for her to fall asleep.
After an entire afternoon of cultivation, the illusory number had reached 93%. Moreover, Rong Xi discovered that things were quite different from what she had expected.
Originally, she thought that absorbing three low-grade spirit stones, which represented 3%, would require 100 low-grade spirit stones to reach 100%. However, in reality, 100 low-grade spirit stones were far from enough; 1000 would probably be just right.
If Rong Xi hadn't simultaneously absorbed the two thousand low-grade spirit stones from the box, she would have absorbed over nine hundred low-grade spirit stones by now. And this was all in just one afternoon!
However, after absorbing so much spiritual energy from low-grade spirit stones, Rong Xi's cultivation progressed rapidly.
She only began her cultivation yesterday, and today she is about to achieve the Foundation Establishment stage.
Her dantian (energy center) was already a hundred feet wide.
Frankly, as an atheist heavily educated in materialism, Rong Xi felt quite conflicted. The dantian and qi sea are located within the body, right? But why is the dantian and qi sea so vast, far exceeding the body's capacity?
Does this mean that once a person begins to cultivate, their body evolves into a world, a realm within themselves?
There is a Buddhist saying that Mount Sumeru can be contained in a mustard seed, and a mustard seed can contain Mount Sumeru.
Rong Xi only had a brief moment of doubt before putting it aside. After all, some people have said that the human body contains infinite treasures, and once the key to unlock them is found, everyone can become a dragon.
Perhaps, spiritual practice is the key to unlocking the treasures of the human body.
"Your Highness, are you about to establish your foundation?"
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang stared intently at Rong Xi, once again deeply shocked. Their cultivation aptitude wasn't bad; otherwise, how could they have reached the Golden Core realm? However, compared to Rong Xi, their aptitude was simply not in the same league!
"It seems like it'll be soon!"
At this moment, Rong Xi understood that the illusory numbers were like experience points in a game. However, there were no monsters to fight here, only spiritual energy to absorb.
Once the number reaches 100%, it should mean that she can establish her foundation!
This kind of practice seems, well, quite good.
Cultivation was something Rong Xi found somewhat difficult to grasp. But now, with the aid of these illusory graphics and numbers, it was much easier.
But, can this thing be considered a system?
Rong Xi felt that her cheat ability must be a system. But shouldn't systems communicate with their hosts? Like, giving out a newbie gift pack or assigning tasks?
However, my own system appeared out of nowhere, and then disappeared without a trace.
Or was it just bad luck that I got stuck with a fake system?
"My lady, Foundation Establishment is no small matter. I think you should prepare some Foundation Establishment Pills!"
"Yes, Foundation Establishment Pills are indispensable. Foundation Establishment is crucial, so it's better to be prepared!"
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang spoke in unison.
The two were of the same mind and advised Rong Xi to prepare to take the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Rong Xi blinked and asked, "Granny, where can we get Foundation Establishment Pills? Or do we have to go to the Imperial Household Department to get them again?"
"yes!"
Thinking about Rong Xi's previous actions at the Imperial Household Department, Granny Rui felt somewhat embarrassed. This morning she had just extorted a month's salary from the Imperial Household Department, and now she was going to collect Foundation Establishment Pills. Would she cause any more trouble?
Granny Rui glanced at Granny Xiang, who blinked, her heart as uneasy as Granny Rui's.
"It's getting late, let's wait until tomorrow!"
Rong Xi pondered whether she needed a Foundation Establishment Pill to establish her foundation. According to the numbers on the illusory diagram she could see, she could still establish her foundation even without a Foundation Establishment Pill.
As the saying goes, every medicine has some degree of toxicity.
Perhaps I can try to establish my foundation directly without using Foundation Establishment Pills!
"By the way, how much would a Foundation Establishment Pill be worth if converted into spirit stones?"
"..."
Granny Rui frowned, annoyed. Sure enough, the Fujin was going to cause trouble again.
"My lady, spirit stones are easy to obtain, but spirit pills are hard to come by. Especially Foundation Establishment Pills. Although the method of refining them is simple, the materials for Foundation Establishment Pills are rare. One Foundation Establishment Pill is worth at least ten thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
"so much?!"
Rong Xi's eyes immediately lit up. Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones! She was about to become rich!
