Although he only lent a hand...
Qi Yufei and the other three were focused on Yun Jing and did not notice Gu Xiaochui's unusual behavior.
They quickly surrounded Yun Jing and bombarded her with questions.
"How did you get out so quickly? What's going on inside?"
"Is there any treasure inside?" Qi Yufei asked, then suddenly changed the subject. "Wait, since it came from Master, the chances of it containing any treasure are extremely slim. Is it all talismans? Or an array? Did you get beaten up?"
Rong Zi: "..."
Ning Lingling: "How are you feeling right now? Do you want to crow like a rooster? Do you have the urge to crow?"
Yun Jing was completely bewildered by the question.
What is all this about?
He's not a chicken, so why is he imitating a chicken's crow?
And why does it need to crow?!
Seeing that their questions were getting more and more outrageous, Rong Zi stepped forward at the opportune moment and kicked Qi Yufei in return.
Qi Yufei felt a pain in his calf and looked at Rong Zi in confusion.
"Master, why did you kick me?"
Rong Zi gritted his teeth, "My feet itch."
Qi Yufei: "...?!"
If your foot is itchy, scratch it. Will kicking him stop the itch?
Rong Zi ignored him and turned to look at Yun Jing, asking, "How is it?"
Yun Jing replied truthfully, "It was empty inside, with nothing special about it. It was just an ordinary, independent space. I stayed inside for a quarter of an hour and then came out immediately."
After hearing his words, everyone present suddenly realized that something seemed amiss.
Ling Mo frowned and asked, "You said... you stayed inside for a full quarter of an hour?"
"Yes," Yun Jing nodded, then asked, "Is there a problem?"
Is there a problem?
This is a huge problem!
Qi Yufei was completely bewildered and said, "How is that possible? We saw it clearly. You were only inside for a quarter of an hour. Where did you get a quarter of an hour from?"
"Half a quarter of an hour?" Yun Jing was even more confused than him. "How could that be? I definitely stayed inside for a full quarter of an hour."
Ning Lingling thought for a moment and asked, "Senior Brother, do you not know how to calculate time?"
"It's nothing to be ashamed of. There are plenty of kids your age who can't do math. Senior Brother, please don't feel inferior because of this."
Yun Jing's face darkened.
"Who says I can't keep track of time? I'm really good at math now, how could I not even be able to keep track of time accurately?"
He's no longer illiterate!
Literacy and arithmetic are no problem for them!
Ling Mo was silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "So, you really stayed inside for a full quarter of an hour?"
Yun Jing nodded vigorously, "More real than pearls."
Qi Yufei scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "That's strange. We only waited for you outside for half an hour. Could it be that your time was different from ours?"
He paused for a moment at this point.
The times are different?
Ling Mo and He exchanged a glance, and both saw the same thing in each other's eyes.
"Could it be..."
Ling Mo held her breath and looked at Rong Zi, cautiously asking, "Master, the purpose of this egg, could it be...?"
How is that possible?
Did they guess wrong?
Rong Zi's eyes curved slightly as she nodded and replied, "It's exactly what you think."
"The space inside this egg was created by me, and the speed at which time passes inside is also controlled by me. It is different from reality. If you stay inside for a quarter of an hour, at most half a quarter of an hour will pass outside. If you stay inside for a year, only half a year will pass outside."
The inspiration for this egg came from the Yin-Yang Twin Cave in the forbidden area of the Demon Realm.
Back when she was in the Yin-Yang Twin Pole Cave, she thought that she must create a similar environment for cultivation in the future.
Fortunately, she had a photographic memory and remembered the array runes outside the Yin-Yang Twin Pole Cave.
However, she lacked the strength back then, so even if she wanted to, she couldn't.
Now, with the growth of her cultivation and the advancement of her reincarnation technique, she finally has the opportunity to realize her inner thoughts.
Although for now she can only set the time flow inside the egg to be half as slow as the time flow outside.
But I believe that one day she will be able to multiply it tenfold.
It is even dozens of times larger than the Yin-Yang Twin Pole Cave.
After hearing Rong Zi's words, everyone present gasped, except for Gu Xiaochui, who already knew the egg's purpose.
This...this is unbelievable.
Qi Yufei opened his mouth, then said blankly, "If we cultivate in here..."
Gu Xiaochui continued, "That means that one year of our cultivation is equivalent to two years of others' cultivation."
Qi Yufei's eyes widened.
Isn't this... a bit too outrageous?
Rong Zi gave each of them one, saying, "There are eight in total. Each of us, master and disciple, will have one. You can carry them with you and cultivate in them anytime, anywhere."
"When I have the chance in the future, I will help you improve their performance and try to slow down the flow of time inside the eggs even further."
When they held the egg in their hands, they were practically floating on air.
With this thing.
They simply couldn't imagine how quickly their cultivation would improve in the future...
Ning Lingling held the egg in her hand with a look of delight and asked, "Master, does it have a name?"
After considering it for a moment, Rong Zi said, "Let's call it... Time Egg, it's simple and clear."
