Opportunities are hard to come by
Qin Baoyao didn't know that so many people were staring at her covetously, and her sudden foundation-building gave them a sense of crisis.
She ran around everywhere with the personal barrier that Qin Jun had set up for her, and went to various uncles and senior brothers who were very concerned about her cultivation to report the good news.
But this barrier could not last long, so at night, when she was half asleep, the barrier disappeared, and she was woken up by the pain again. When she woke up, she felt that it was as she expected.
After what happened last night, Qin Jun was guarding the door today, leaving a crack in the door, so when he heard Qin Baoyao's cry of pain, he immediately took action.
Another night of tossing and turning.
Qin Baoyao, who had spent half the night absorbing spiritual energy to consolidate her cultivation, looked exhausted. "Brother, will I have to keep a barrier under my arm all the time?"
"Yaoyao, why don't you practice at night these few days?" Qin Jun saw Qin Baoyao's helpless look and took the opportunity to persuade her, "Look, when you advance, the speed at which you absorb spiritual energy will increase. When you advanced from the first level of Qi Refining to the second level, you felt it yourself, right?"
Qin Baoyao nodded. Indeed, and every time one advances a small level in the Qi Refining Stage, there will be a more obvious feeling.
"If you were advancing one level at a time, you could gradually adapt to the increased speed of absorbing spiritual energy. However, your advancement this time is too special. You've advanced so much all at once. My brother could feel the obvious change in speed even when he only advanced one level. So this time, this situation is unavoidable for you. Since we all need to practice, why not start early? I'll accompany you."
Qin Baoyao remained silent.
Qin Jun added, "Of course, if you really don't want to practice, I'll just fill in the small barrier for you every day. Just bear with it. The Sect Master and the others have already searched for methods in ancient books. This is all we can do for now."
Qin Baoyao was just thinking about one thing.
Although she had told herself not to force it, the spiritual energy found her and woke her up these two nights. In this case, she might as well take the opportunity to practice as her brother said.
When the opportunity comes, don't push it away. At worst, you can just wait until this situation is over and then continue to lie down.
She nodded: "Then I will practice hard tonight." She also wanted to verify whether if she practiced seriously, there would be an overwhelming amount of spiritual energy.
That night, Qin Baoyao meditated seriously on the bed, waiting for the small barrier to slowly disappear, and prepared to start using spiritual energy to practice. However, the situation of the previous two nights did not happen. Although she could absorb spiritual energy normally and practice normally, the spiritual energy felt similar to that during her Qi Refining Stage, and the spiritual energy did not gather into fog.
Qin Jun didn't hear his sister's cry of pain again all night. He looked inside through the crack in the door several times, but the situation from the previous two nights didn't happen.
Could it be that as long as Yaoyao meditates seriously, it's impossible for the spiritual energy to gather into mist? Why is the spiritual energy in the room so thin?
The next day, the two looked at each other in confusion.
"Brother, is this opportunity over?" Ever since Qin Baoyao decided to accept this result and practice seriously, she called the situation where spiritual energy gathered into mist an opportunity.
After all, the cultivation speed of each cultivator is closely related to the amount of spiritual energy. Since he can be in an environment with so much spiritual energy, it is naturally a rare opportunity.
Qin Jun shook his head: "I can't say for sure." Everything that happened to Qin Baoyao was beyond Qin Jun's cognition.
"Then I'll try again tonight." There really was no one who could explain this situation. The sect leader and the others said that they were going to the library to look through ancient books, but it wasn't possible to finish looking through all those ancient books so quickly.
Qin Baoyao felt that it would be faster to try it herself.
For several days in a row, Qin Baoyao practiced with a serious attitude, meditating seriously every day, but for three consecutive nights, that situation did not occur again.
"It seems that such a situation is something we can only encounter by chance." Qin Jun sighed.
Qin Baoyao breathed a sigh of relief. It was much easier to get a good night's sleep than to meditate and practice seriously every day. Since such a situation was rare, she didn't have to practice hard every night.
So, that night, Qin Baoyao lay down on the bed and slept again.
Originally, Qin Baoyao wanted Qin Jun to go back to his own yard to rest, but Qin Jun always felt uneasy and decided to stay for two more days.
However, things were so incredible. Qin Baoyao didn't want to practice late at night, but the piles of spiritual energy came again. She was awakened by the pain again in the middle of her sleep. Qin Baoyao was numb and had already meditated and absorbed it reflexively.
"Brother...what do you think I should do? Am I destined to be woken up by pain in my sleep? Will the spiritual energy not come if I don't sleep?" Qin Baoyao was speechless. How could it be so troublesome?
Opportunities are rare, but you can't force them. Should you let them come to you unexpectedly?
Qin Jun was just feeling lucky that he decided to continue guarding.
"Oh, forget it, maybe this thing is about 'unintentional success leads to great success'. I'll just have to trouble you for a while longer."
You can't really be covered by a barrier that blocks spiritual energy every day and not practice at all, right?
So Qin Baoyao's life became one of lazily attending classes during the day, jumping around or lying down, and quietly practicing in Baoyao Pavilion at night.
Everyone thought that since Qin Baoyao had established her foundation, she should practice diligently like before, but unexpectedly, she still had an attitude of lying down.
Disciples who have established their foundation have their own courses to attend. Since Qin Baoyao has already established his foundation, he naturally has to take classes related to the foundation-building period.
On the first day of class, the instructor asked her to share her experience and feelings after building her foundation. She was stunned and looked at the instructor with a bewildered face: "I just took a nap, woke up, and was at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Then, all of a sudden, I encountered a thunder tribulation. After the thunder tribulation was over, I was able to build my foundation."
???
When everyone in the classroom heard this, they looked at her speechlessly: "Do you want to listen to what you are talking about? Crossing levels and building foundation, is it so easy?"
After hearing this question, Qin Baoyao was even more speechless than them. She was even more confused than them. She used to be very diligent and ate all kinds of things that were good for spiritual roots, but it didn't help. On the contrary, the annual spiritual root tests were getting worse and worse. Last year, everyone even thought that my spiritual roots were going to be gone.
Otherwise, wouldn't I have needed to take that Spiritual Charm Pill a while ago? I had a nightmare after taking it, and I think it's a warning. I think if I become like that for my spiritual roots, being hunted down and killed, and even bringing trouble to the people of the sect, then I might as well enjoy life.
Who would have thought that by not taking those pills and instead lying down to bask in the sun every day, his cultivation level would actually improve and he would establish his foundation?
She shook her head: "I really don't know why."
No one can give an answer to what happened to her.
Her brother also said that the situation where the spiritual energy gathered into fog should not be told to others, so she could not explain that she was practicing every night.
But her answer made some people indignant, while others also had wild thoughts: "If I just lie down and bask in the sun every day like Junior Sister Baoyao, can I suddenly be promoted?"
"Don't even think about it. I asked my master, and he said it might be because she had consumed a lot of natural treasures before, which had accumulated a lot of energy. Maybe they didn't work for some reason before, so at some point, they all suddenly took effect. So, to be like her, you have to have a lot of resources to make a living before you can have such an opportunity one day."
After being scolded, the man smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just joking."
The person who answered him stared at him so hard that he got so angry that he ran away.
The people who stayed behind shook their heads: The master was right, there really are people with such whimsical ideas.
Qin Baoyao, who was slowly preparing to leave, heard their conversation and suddenly realized: This sounds reasonable!
So she changed her slow movements and rushed to the man: "Brother, does your master have any more ideas about my situation?"
The man was startled by Qin Baoyao, but nodded after hearing her question. "Master also said that it would be great if we could know what you ate before. That way, we could try to analyze what affected your previous promotion and what allowed you to break free."
Qin Baoyao scratched her head after hearing this. "There's really no way around this. I've eaten so much over the years, everything. Everything from gifts to harvesting, all sorts of sacred herbs and medicines. I've eaten them all. Some are still in my storage ring, so I can look at them. Others I picked and ate right after. I can't even remember how many heavenly treasures I've eaten."
However, they did provide themselves with a new idea.
With this guess, Qin Baoyao went to find Qin Jun excitedly.
After hearing this, Qin Jun thought about this possibility, but his understanding of medicines was limited to identifying them based on some descriptions such as their appearance, but he could not clearly explain their various effects.
Let's talk about my younger sister. She may not have realized that she not only eats all kinds of precious herbs, but she has even eaten some poisonous flowers and herbs. It's just that she has a special physique, and poison has too much impact on her. My mother once thought about whether to fight poison with poison. If normal herbs and pills are not available, why not try poisons? She even gave some to Qin Baoyao, but it didn't help her spiritual roots.
The reason behind this was that even if she wasn't poisoned for the time being, it was still poisonous after all. If she ate too much, more toxins would accumulate in her body. It would be bad if one day it exceeded her tolerance and something happened, so she was not allowed to continue eating it.
