When Sheng Ning exhaled the stale air from her body and opened her eyes, it was just beginning to get light.
Having absorbed the cores of demonic beasts all night, she could clearly sense that the space where there was no room for small points of light yesterday was now quite empty.
While absorbing the core of the demon beast, she was also constantly capturing tiny points of light.
Because it is close to the foot of Chongwu Mountain, the earth and wood spiritual energy is more concentrated, and it is also mixed with a lot of metal and fire spiritual energy.
Sheng Ning spent the whole night catching tiny points of light and realized that he had entered the second level of Foundation Establishment. He felt refreshed and invigorated.
Seeing that her fellow disciples were still meditating and resting, she took out the Flying Phoenix Sword Manual from her storage bag.
Yesterday she already used the beginner's techniques on the monsters.
The effect is remarkable.
I was thinking of reviewing the first move today and then applying it to actual combat.
But she found that she couldn't understand the sword manual.
It's not that I can't understand it, but the illustrations in this sword manual are all over the place, sometimes frogs jumping, sometimes carp leaping, it doesn't look like a proper sword manual at all.
Moreover, she did not enter a meditative state or dream like she did yesterday.
What happened?
Is there something wrong with her body?
When Yu opened his eyes from a breath, what he saw was his junior sister practicing frog jumps with her hands behind her back.
Seeing his junior sister getting up early for morning exercises, he, as her senior brother, felt both moved and guilty.
Yu got up, picked up a wooden stick, and swung it at Lu Qing'an and the others.
"Wake up, all of you! How can you sleep at your age?"
"Junior Sister is thinking about cultivating hard for the sake of the sect's glory, so you all should hurry up and start cultivating too!"
Guan Yunchuan opened one eye, clearly still asleep.
Out of the corner of his eye, Guan Yunchuan caught sight of his junior sister doing frog jumps outside the dilapidated temple. Without thinking, he got up and followed her.
Outside a dilapidated temple, five young men and women practiced frog jumps with their hands behind their backs.
"A ghost!" A woodcutter who had gotten up early to chop firewood saw it and was so frightened that he dropped his axe and ran away as fast as he could.
Sheng Ning was trying to find the feeling of entering a meditative state.
Hearing the woodcutter's wailing from not far away, she finally came to her senses and turned to look behind her.
Her four senior brothers, each with disheveled clothes and messy hair, followed behind her, learning to do frog jumps.
Someone who didn't know better might think this was some kind of weird cult.
With a twitch at the corner of her eye, Sheng Ning stood up and stopped hopping around. "What are you all doing following me?"
Because he had been doing frog jumps for too long, Sheng Ning's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
During this time, the Invincible Sect has taken good care of her. Her previous appearance of being so frail, malnourished, and pale is no longer present.
Instead, there was a Sheng Ning with a rosy complexion, red lips, and white teeth.
Lu Qingan and the others stood up and started complaining early in the morning, "Yu also made us train with you."
"I only told you to learn from your junior sister and to get up early to cultivate, not to jump around with her!"
Even Yu himself didn't know why he was dancing along with his junior sister.
Perhaps this is what they call... mutual appreciation?
Yu, who didn't realize he had used the wrong word, raised his head with a resentful look. When he met Sheng Ning's gaze, his listless face suddenly lit up with disbelief.
"Wait a minute, Junior Sister, you've advanced?"
"Still at the second level of Foundation Establishment," Lu Qing'an answered for him.
"Terrifying indeed." Guan Yunchuan said expressionlessly.
"Junior Sister, you're leveling up so fast, won't that harm your physical development? Third Senior Brother has a batch of pills that are suitable for you to take." Lu Jingshen worried like a mother.
In contrast, Sheng Ning himself appeared very calm. "Last night I refined all the cores that my senior brothers gave me, and when I woke up I had become a second-level Foundation Establishment cultivator."
She raised the corners of her lips, revealing two dimples that were barely visible. "This is all thanks to my senior brothers."
Yu nodded blankly, "I understand the reasoning. Back then, when you gave me those pills with demon beast cores, I refined them for three days and only managed to advance one level."
Sheng Ning, having absorbed so many cores in one night, not only did not explode and die, but also broke through to the second level of Foundation Establishment.
Ugh, are these geniuses even allowed to live?!
Lu Qingan glanced at him, "Back then, you went from the first to the second level of the Golden Core stage, which is a different matter."
"However, Junior Sister is indeed a promising talent for cultivation. Perhaps she can go even further than us."
Lu Qing'an's praise made Sheng Ning feel embarrassed.
She wasn't that talented.
While everyone else was eating, she was practicing her spiritual cultivation.
Everyone else is resting; she is practicing meditation.
Even when everyone else was using the toilet, she was practicing.
Raising his hand to scratch the back of his head, Sheng Ning dropped the second bombshell of the morning.
"My body seems to be cultivating itself."
She only realized this after arriving in Starfall City.
When she was cultivating in the Invincible Sect, she relied on entering a meditative state to capture small points of light in the darkness. Once she had accumulated enough of these small points of light, her cultivation level would also improve.
When she stepped into Starfall City, especially when she arrived at the foot of Chongwu Mountain, all the tiny points of light that others couldn't see rushed into her body.
Especially after she dealt with the Titan Ape yesterday, her spiritual energy was exhausted, and the light spots entered her body at an even faster speed.
The same is true now; tiny specks of light, of different colors, burrow into her body and take root in the expanded area.
As soon as Sheng Ning finished speaking, the way Lu Qing'an and the others looked at her changed instantly.
"Three floors! Sheng Xiaoning, are you a devil?!"
Yu also jumped up and down.
Sheng Ning had only been at the Invincible Sect for a few months, and he had watched her go from a useless person with five elemental spiritual roots who couldn't cultivate to someone who had actually advanced in rank right in front of him.
What an incredible plot twist!
Sheng Ning herself didn't feel anything, only that her body felt lighter and more alert than before, and her spiritual sense could also reach farther than before.
Besides that, she could also hear Yu Ye's breathing sounds more clearly.
"Overdevelopment is not a good thing. Third Senior Brother has some Spirit Stabilizing Pills here. Junior Sister, take two first."
Lu Jingshen was still the same old nanny. He took out a jade bottle from a mustard seed bag containing a lot of bottles and jars.
Sheng Ning smiled as she accepted the pills, thanked Lu Jingshen, then took a deep breath and pointed in the direction of Chongwu Mountain.
"The Taixu Sect bullied us like that yesterday, today we will teach them a lesson they won't forget!"
"Fourth Senior Brother, give me some more talismans to conceal my identity. It's my turn to make a move."
It's still early; the monster frenzy will begin in another hour.
Major sects like the Taixu Sect are still resting within the Dingtian Sect.
Sheng Ning needs to make preparations for what's to come within this hour.
In order to avoid being discovered by the cultivators who were resting at the foot of Chongwu Mountain, she first affixed a talisman to her body to conceal her identity, and then disappeared into the forest of Chongwu Mountain like the wind.
