In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, she reached the fifth floor and is now busy looking through the jade slips on the stairs, searching for useful information.
Not to be outdone, Song Yan followed closely behind.
Cui Kaichao also wanted to, but he... had no strength left.
He watched as a man, a woman, and a child easily climbed up, and then waited for someone. Were they waiting for him?
Nonsense, they're waiting for their junior brothers and sisters.
It's outrageous! How come they can go up but I can't? That's not fair.
When Lexi saw that he was staring at her senior sister and junior sister, she was very unhappy. She didn't know where she got the strength, but she also lifted her leg and started climbing.
After lingering on the sixth floor for a while, Wei Wenru continued climbing without stopping.
The spiritual energy on this level was extremely dense, and everyone sat down to meditate and absorb it. After six levels of training, everyone experienced moments of enlightenment or broke through bottlenecks.
Further up, Lexi and the others knew they could no longer continue the challenge.
They're already having a hard time maintaining the status quo on the sixth level. If they were to break through, they might not be able to hold out until the next level. It's better for them to stay put and wait for the next opportunity to break through.
"Senior sister, we won't go up. You and senior brother can continue! Wanwan, do you still want to go?" Lexi transmitted her voice to Wei Wenru and the other two, focusing on asking Nian Wanzhou.
"Of course we will! Second Senior Brother, you stay here and cultivate with Senior Sister Xiyin and the others. We'll come back to find you!" Nian Wanzhou replied without hesitation. She was going to protect her senior sister, so how could she not go?
"Alright, then take care of yourself and don't get in the way of your senior sisters. If you can't hold on any longer, remember to wait where you are." Le Xi changed her usual cold and sarcastic attitude and began to instruct Nian Wanzhou.
After babbling a few words, he noticed his junior sister was getting impatient.
"Okay, okay, you nagging man." Nian Wanzhou stuck out her tongue at him, made a face, and then turned and ran away.
Seeing this, Wei Wenru smiled and shook her head: "Their relationship is getting better and better, it's a rare sight indeed."
Song Yan smiled and said, "I have to thank them for this experience. It has improved their relationship. Maybe it will stay this way from now on."
The two were very pleased.
"Wanwan, let's go."
"Okay, let's go!" Nian Wanzhou nodded, took Wei Wenru's hand, and turned back to wave goodbye to Le Xi and the others.
"Senior Brother Le, stop looking. Even if you keep looking, Junior Sister Nian won't come back," Xi Yin couldn't help but say. Actually, she wanted to pull Le Xi down and sit down.
It's kind of creepy to have such a tall person standing there.
"What?" Le Xi suddenly snapped back to reality upon hearing this, turned around and glared at her: "Fellow Daoist Xi Yin, you've misunderstood. I'm seeing off my senior sister, not that bastard."
"Tsk tsk, don't pretend you don't know. We can all see that you care about Junior Sister Nian."
Xi Yin said with a smile, "Don't deny it."
"Who said I care about that girl? Don't talk nonsense." Le Xi denied it outright.
"Oh, you're blushing now, Second Senior Brother. Just admit it." Xingzhu feigned surprise and covered her mouth. "I knew you liked Wanwan. Your gaze hasn't left her since you came in. And..."
"You even deliberately argued with her, please, Second Brother. We've seen this kind of method used on those little brats in the mortal world long ago—using annoying methods to get a girl's attention~"
Upon hearing this, Le Xi blushed, whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.
"I'm not telling you guys. Anyway, I... I didn't mean it that way. And don't tell Wanwan either, lest she have a bad impression of me."
threaten!
Xi Yin: "How could that be, Senior Brother Yue? Your feelings for Senior Sister Wei are more like admiration, not romantic love. Besides, Senior Sister Wei already has Senior Brother Song as her excellent Daoist partner. No matter what, you have no chance."
Xingzhu: "That's right, we've seen through you all these years, Second Senior Brother, just wake up."
Cui Kaichao's head was throbbing from the noise, and he roared with an imposing aura, "Can you guys stop arguing? This incessant chatter is so annoying! I like you, my foot..."
The last sentence was spoken very quietly.
He wanted to keep up with Wei Wenru's pace, but listening to their bickering made him restless.
The three of them then looked at each other, smiled, and continued meditating.
...
Wei Wenru and the other two walked uphill, and without waiting for anyone, Wei Wenru went as fast as a motor.
Gather your strength and climb higher.
Every step was firm and full of energy. Even when he was drenched in sweat, he didn't stop. He kept improving his internal spiritual power and circulating it through his meridians to his dantian.
In her sea of consciousness, spiritual energy surged and churned like ocean waves, wandering through her meridians before finally coalescing into droplets that fell onto the elixir.
Then, a surge of heat spread outwards along the meridians, impacting every part of the body.
This feeling was so comfortable, and the pressure from the outside world made Wei Wenru unable to help but let out a pleasant sigh.
She wiped away her sweat and continued climbing to the seventh floor. By this time, she was already feeling immense pressure, but she still did not back down.
Song Yan, standing behind her, was under immense pressure. He tried to keep up with Wei Wenru, but he always fell just short.
Just as he was about to develop an obsession, Nian Wanzhou stood beside him and encouraged him, "Senior brother, calm down. Don't take a risky path and force yourself into an obsession. Take a deep breath. Senior sister will always be waiting for you ahead. Don't be afraid of falling behind."
Nian Wanzhou's words were like a gentle breeze, sending a chill through Song Yan's heart.
The annoyance vanished instantly.
He opened his eyes and saw Nian Wanzhou holding a fan to cheer him up, her smile radiant. He was suddenly touched by something strange and couldn't help but reach out and pat Nian Wanzhou's shoulder, saying, "Wanwan, thank you... and thank you for being willing to talk to me."
The good boy is finally willing to talk to him.
Nian Wanzhou smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling: "Senior brother, you don't need to be so polite. I'm cheering you on and your senior sister. Go for it, senior brother!"
Who told him to be her senior's official partner, and also to be so hardworking, and to be her own biological father from another world.
Song Yan was instantly filled with energy. His little darling's encouragement was so effective, igniting his courage. Yes, Wen Ru would always wait for him, and one day, he would definitely stand by Wen Ru's side!
The seventh floor is just a stone's throw away.
Song Yan took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and strode towards the seventh floor.
The seventh floor is even more terrifying than the previous floors, with a fiery atmosphere as if you were in hell, testing your endurance.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Song Yan's forehead, but he gritted his teeth and forced himself to hold on.
"Senior sister, Feng Xu wants to come out. He says this place is very suitable for his cultivation." Nian Wanzhou transformed into a dragon the size of a human and soared into the air, facing the heatwave.
