"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Rong Xi's gaze was indifferent, showing none of the joy she had felt when she first saw Jiang Zi.
Of course, deep down, she actually hoped that Jiang Zi's petrification of Granny Leng was just an accident. After all, of Ulanara's four dowry maids, Dengzhi and Cuirui were already confirmed to be unusable. If Jiang Zi, with her stone spirit body, was also unusable, that would be just too... something.
Yeah, embarrassing!
Of the four dowry maids, only one, Magpie, who always stayed by his side, was available. Moreover, Magpie was still wallowing in self-pity because he was temporarily unable to cultivate.
Damn it, we have no one to rely on!
Rong Xi looked at Jiang Zi, hoping she could give her a plausible explanation.
“Reporting to Madam, I was just angry for a moment. Granny Leng said that she was my savior and that I should recognize her as my godmother and be filial to her in the future.”
"She even said that she would be in charge of my future marriage arrangements!"
"In a fit of anger, the stone spirit energy within me became somewhat out of control..."
"It's all my fault, please punish me, Madam!"
Jiang Zi knelt on the ground, her attitude very sincere.
"Is it possible for Granny Leng to recover?"
Rong Xi looked at Jiang Zi kneeling on the ground and spoke calmly.
"Yes, that's possible. However, once the stone spirit energy dissipates, even if Granny Leng recovers, she will be severely weakened..."
How long will it take?
"At least six hours!"
"In that case, you may leave now. We need to hear Leng Momo finish speaking before we can make a decision!"
"Yes, this servant takes her leave!"
Jiang Zi's expression, however, was quite composed.
Rong Xi had been observing her expressions closely, and only after confirming that she didn't seem guilty did she finally breathe a sigh of relief. At least, so far, she hadn't found anything amiss with Jiang Zi. Although she would have to wait until Granny Leng recovered before asking her again, she felt much more at ease.
"Master, this servant will also take her leave!"
Seeing Jiang Zi leave, Magpie chirped, her expression slightly excited. She and Jiang Zi were the closest of friends, and now that Jiang Zi had recovered, she had a lot to say to her.
Go!
Rong Xi waved her hand, dismissing the magpie.
She couldn't very well stop the two sisters from talking, could she? If Jiang Zi could persuade Xi Que to stop being so melancholy and depressed all the time, that would be a good thing.
In the room, Rong Xi fell silent again.
The autumn hunt is just around the corner!
Previously, she couldn't cultivate and was merely a mortal; the autumn hunt was none of her concern. But now, she was determined to participate. Saying she was pregnant and might not participate was just an excuse to refuse the Grand Princess's invitation.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that the Fourth Prince gave Granny Rui and Granny Xiang the opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul realm at this time is enough to confirm that this was preparation for her to participate in the Autumn Hunt.
Although her cultivation level was relatively low, Rong Xi was still quite looking forward to the upcoming autumn hunt.
If the Qing Dynasty palace is the main storyline, then the Autumn Hunt is the initial exploration dungeon. The only downside is that this initial exploration dungeon is quite dangerous, and this isn't a game where you only have one life.
Damn it, a perfectly good time-travel story set in the Qing Dynasty has been turned into a thrilling and dangerous adventure, with characters even having to fight and explore in the wilderness.
However, this seems much more enjoyable than simply experiencing time travel during the Qing Dynasty.
Magic!
After a moment's thought, Rong Xi realized what she needed to do most right now. She needed to go to the Imperial Scripture Pavilion to learn some spells; otherwise, if she went into the wilderness, the most basic Five Elements spells wouldn't be enough.
Rong Xi set off quickly, heading straight for the Imperial Garden and entering the Imperial Hall.
Originally, as the controller of the blessed land, she could enter it at any time, and even move it away. However, due to her weak strength, she dared not reveal the fact that she controlled the blessed land.
Weakness is a sin!
Upon entering the Imperial Scripture Pavilion, Rong Xi headed straight for the Sutra Repository.
The royal library houses countless magical techniques and various cultivation methods, all meticulously detailed.
As the primary consort of Prince Rongxi, she could freely traverse the lower three floors of the Scripture Pavilion. However, the fourth floor and above required reaching the Golden Core stage.
As for the top three levels, apart from Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager who could freely set foot there, everyone else had to pay a certain price and contribute a certain amount of contribution points to enter.
The truly valuable and good things are all on the top three floors.
Rong Xi entered the Sutra Repository and did not aim too high. Instead, she started reading from the first floor step by step. She quickly mastered the various techniques and secrets, and even applied them to other situations, creating new ones.
"Simple!"
"That's interesting!"
Rong Xi had never realized that learning could be so joyful.
She immersed herself in the ocean of magical texts, mastering one Five Elements technique after another. Even techniques combining the Five Elements were quite simple and effortless for her.
Before she knew it, Rong Xi herself didn't know how long she had been in the library. The only thing she knew was that she had read all the books on the bottom three floors.
"Baby, do you think I can learn the Five Elements techniques at the Golden Core stage now?"
"We can give it a try!"
In fact, even the spirit of the cave was startled by Rong Xi's terrifying learning speed.
These numerous spells, though simple and unorthodox, are not so easy to master. Yet, for Rong Xi, all of them are effortless.
"Then, let's come quietly later!"
With Rong Xi's cultivation level, she is not capable of entering the fourth floor of the Sutra Repository.
However, as the controller of this blessed land, there is no place within it that she cannot enter.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, she had to do it secretly.
Rong Xi left the Scripture Pavilion and went straight to the cultivation stele. She touched the stele and disappeared.
To outsiders, it appeared as if she had entered a place of cultivation.
In reality, she had entered the controlled territory of the blessed land.
"Baby, hurry up!"
"Wait a minute!"
The spirit of the cave rolled its eyes at Rong Xi and instead of sending her to the fourth floor of the Scripture Pavilion, it moved the spellbooks from the Scripture Pavilion there.
"It's actually possible?"
Rong Xi was dumbfounded.
But she quickly raised her hand and slapped herself. It was perfectly acceptable to do that. Hadn't she collected a considerable amount of usage fees here before?
"Idiot, you actually forgot this basic operation!"
Rong Xi rubbed her face vigorously.
Sure enough, this way of thinking hasn't changed.
The Qing Dynasty here is not the Qing Dynasty in the ordinary sense; it is a magical space-time where cultivation is possible. Past ways of thinking are now outdated.
"Not bad, so that's how it works. This is the Golden Core!"
After reading more than ten books on techniques and methods at the Golden Core stage, Rong Xi's horizons were greatly broadened.
Once I swallowed a golden pill, my fate was in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven.
The Golden Core realm is the stage where cultivators truly begin to unleash their power.
