Sheng Ning reached out to grab the tiny specks of light, but found that they seemed to have a life of their own and darted away as soon as she reached out.
Seeing the little light trying to run away, Sheng Ning immediately chased after it.
But the road ahead seemed endless, no matter which direction she ran in or how she ran.
These tiny, fluorescent lights were lamps; although she couldn't reach them, they still illuminated the path beneath her feet.
After searching all night for tiny specks of light and only managing to catch three or five, Sheng Ning slowly opened her eyes.
She was startled awake when she realized she had fallen asleep on the table and immediately opened her palms.
The blue light spot that she held in her palm last night has disappeared.
There was nothing in her palm.
Was it all a dream?
Sheng Ning frowned, just as she heard Lu Qing'an calling from outside the courtyard.
"Junior Sister, are you awake?"
Putting aside her doubts, Sheng Ning responded and prepared to get up. She felt that after sleeping on the table all night, not only was her whole body no longer sore, but her body also seemed to have become a little lighter.
Could it be that I ate too many spirit fruits last night?
Turning her head to look at the half-full bag of spiritual fruits still on the table, Sheng Ning got up and opened the door, only to see Lu Qing'an standing in the courtyard bathed in the morning light.
Seeing her walk out of the house, Lu Qingan immediately went up to her.
"Yu also said that Shi Yueyao came last night? How are you? Are you hurt...?"
"Huh? You've reached the first level of Qi Refining?"
As soon as Lu Qingan got closer, he sensed the difference in Sheng Ning's aura.
He circled her three times, still unable to believe it, and leaned closer again, "What good food did Yu Ye give you?"
You should know that Sheng Ning has five elemental roots; her body is like a black hole.
No matter which spiritual root she cultivates, the spiritual power that enters her body will eventually be consumed by the other four spiritual roots.
Even a genius cultivator with only one spiritual root still needs to spend a lot of time cultivating.
The five spiritual roots are like bottomless pits that need spiritual energy; no matter how much spiritual energy enters the body, it can never be filled.
Now that she has actually reached the first level of Qi Refining, it means that she has gathered spiritual energy in her body, which is truly remarkable.
Sheng Ning was unaware of the changes in her cultivation level.
Hearing what Lu Qingan said, she realized that the reason she felt so relaxed after waking up was because she had entered the first level of Qi Refining.
Looking down at her hands, Sheng Ning clenched her fists, feeling a sense of unreality.
"It's a spiritual fruit."
"Senior Brother Lu, what can one do at the first level of Qi Refining?"
While she was slacking off on her research, she read quite a few cultivation novels.
In novels, which protagonist doesn't ride on ancient mythical beasts, wield ancient divine weapons, and flatten a mountain with a single sword strike?
Now she has also reached the threshold of cultivation.
Before long, she'll be just as glamorous as those main characters.
I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it.
"You can... run 800 meters without getting out of breath?"
Lu Qingan frowned and pondered for a while before finally finding an answer.
It's no wonder he didn't give an answer immediately.
He was a genius from a young age, and cultivating was as easy for him as eating and drinking.
Don't let his age fool you; he's only 20. He's already reached the Golden Core stage and is just one opportunity away from entering the Nascent Soul stage.
He had already entered the Foundation Establishment stage when his master brought him back to the Invincible Sect.
He didn't even know what it felt like to be in the Qi Refining stage.
But in order not to discourage his junior sister, he still racked his brains to come up with an answer.
As soon as Lu Qingan finished speaking, he saw Sheng Ning standing there motionless.
"Junior Sister? Does Junior Sister feel that her cultivation speed is too slow?"
"It's alright. Junior Sister just arrived and started cultivating. It's already quite impressive that she reached the first level of Qi Refining in one night."
Sheng Ning wasn't unaware of Lu Qing'an's words of comfort; she was simply stunned at that moment.
She knew that the protagonists in cultivation novels all had a cheat code, either a system or good fortune.
But what she didn't expect was that she also had a cheat code.
She remembered that when she first transmigrated, she brought a spiritual space with her.
The space contained only a Gatling gun and countless bullets.
Now that she has reached the first level of Qi Refining, she explored her spiritual space again and found a sphere about half the size of her palm lying among the pile of bullets.
It was the little landmine she had been longing for!
Don't underestimate these small landmines; a single landmine can be powerful enough to flatten half of the Taixu Sect's mountain!
He was incredibly excited, never expecting that his level increase would allow him to upgrade the weapons in his consciousness space.
So, will she be able to see the cannonball tank in her next upgrade?
A silly smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she tilted her head to look at Lu Qing'an. "What?"
The morning light shone on her small face, and Sheng Ning's complexion was much rosier than when the two met yesterday.
"It's okay, I'll surpass my senior brothers one day."
When Lu Qing'an saw that she finally spoke, with a simple smile on her face, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, a cultivator possesses five spiritual roots, which is far more distressing than a mortal body that cannot cultivate.
If it were any other cultivator, they would surely have given up on themselves.
But my junior sister doesn't have that.
On the contrary, her energetic appearance made Lu Qingan smile.
He raised his hand and ruffled her dry, yellow hair, then pulled a mustard seed bag from his wide sleeve.
"Your senior brother believes in you. Today you will officially become a disciple. This is a gift from your senior brother to you in advance."
"In addition to high-grade spirit stones, there are also various pills and talismans in the mustard seed bag. Let your master choose a suitable sword for you."
"If you don't have enough of what's in here, come ask your senior brother. Don't underestimate the Invincible Sect just because it's small; we're well-off."
