"How long can you maintain your current human form?"
"About seven days!" Ye Yan replied after thinking for a moment.
Ji Jiuying nodded in satisfaction. Seven days, not bad!
After leaving the space, Ji Jiuying followed the route to the spiritual energy array that Old Man Yu had mentioned. There was no one in line, so it must be lunchtime. Ji Jiuying walked over and saw an old man dozing at the entrance.
"Uncle! Uncle!" The old man who was dozing on the stool reluctantly opened his eyes.
"Sir, excuse me, could you please open the door? I'd like to go in and cultivate!"
The old man rubbed his eyes before he could see Ji Jiuying's face clearly. "A freshman?"
"Hmm~"
Give me my student ID!
Ji Jiuying handed the token to the old man, whose previously hazy eyes immediately cleared. He looked up at Ji Jiuying and then said, "Go in!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Ji Jiuying respectfully thanked him, took the token, and went inside. The old man watched Ji Jiuying's retreating figure, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
The spiritual energy array was built in the basement. Soon, Ji Jiuying went down the stairs and arrived at the ground floor. Dense spiritual energy greeted her. Looking at the endless spiritual energy pools, Ji Jiuying exclaimed in admiration, "How big must this spiritual energy array be!"
Ji Jiuying found an empty spiritual energy pool, and after she entered, the stone door closed automatically! Ji Jiuying released all the small beasts in her space to cultivate together.
Although the spiritual energy in the space was abundant, it lacked the purity of a spiritual energy pool.
"Mother, what place is this? There's so much spiritual energy here!" Little Phoenix asked.
As soon as the little boy and Xie Huo came out, they knew they were in a spiritual energy array, so they found an empty spot and began to meditate and cultivate.
"This is the spiritual energy pool within the spiritual energy array. Little Phoenix, would you like to cultivate with your mother?"
"Alright, alright~ Little Phoenix will stay with Mother! Let's get stronger together!" With that, she snuggled up next to Ji Jiuying, who stroked her feathers with satisfaction.
"Little Phoenix is so good!"
After saying that, she sat cross-legged on the stone bed. She had now activated all five spiritual roots and could cultivate all five elements at the same time. However, she was still lacking in water and earth spiritual roots. Ji Jiuying closed her eyes, absorbed the pure spiritual energy, transformed it into spiritual power, and tempered her water and earth elements!
The spiritual energy visibly approached Ji Jiuying, swirling and churning around her before finally converging into her dantian!
This wait lasted for seven days, which made Shen Miaoqing and the others very anxious, because the challenge of the cultivation tower was about to begin! Feng Che also lingered at the entrance of the spiritual energy array every day, waiting for Ji Jiuying. He knew about the cultivation tower. For cultivators, it was a challenge that could quickly improve their strength and temper their minds! It was very suitable for Xiao Jiu to challenge!
This cultivation tower opens only once a year, and he really didn't want Xiao Jiu to miss it. However, he couldn't force his way through the spiritual energy array, otherwise it might cause Xiao Jiu to suffer a qi deviation.
"Why isn't Miss coming out yet?" Qingling asked anxiously.
"Yes, it's been seven days already!"
Spiritual energy array.
"Little boy, why isn't Mommy awake yet?" Little Phoenix asked.
Evil Fire and the little boy exchanged a glance; it had asked this question two hundred and thirty-one times already!
"I'm not called Little Boy, I have a name! My name is Ling Xiao!" Little Boy said helplessly.
"Oh~ When will Mother wake up?"
...
Evil Fire and Illusion Dragon Soaring Sky simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead!
The three beasts dared not rush forward to disturb her, and could only wait anxiously. Finally, Ji Jiuying's eyelashes trembled slightly, and Xiao Huang'er quickly stepped forward.
"Mother~ You're finally awake!"
Ji Jiuying exhaled a breath of stale air, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the little beasts with some confusion, "Why aren't you cultivating anymore?"
"Mother, we've already finished our cultivation. Seven days have passed outside!" Little Phoenix said.
"What! Seven days!" Ji Jiuying stood up in surprise. How come it felt like only a few hours had passed? Could it be that the spiritual energy in the spiritual energy array was too dense and pure, making her so engrossed in cultivation that she forgot the passage of time!
"Woman, even if you're eager to improve your strength, you still need to take care of your health!" Evil Fire advised. It wasn't that it cared about her; it was just afraid that if she died, it would be trapped in the Cloud Butterfly Dreamland for who knows how many more years!
Ji Jiuying smiled, scooped up the evil fire in her arms, and rubbed it!
As soon as I stepped out the gate, I was surrounded by a group of people!
"What are you all doing here?" Ji Jiuying asked guiltily.
"You still have the nerve to say that! You disappeared for seven days straight, and we were all worried sick about you!" Shen Miaoqing said.
"Miss, you must take care of your health while cultivating!"
The group chatted with Ji Jiuying for a while, and Ji Jiuying touched her nose a little guiltily. It felt so good to be cared for!
"Alright, alright! You must be hungry after cultivating inside for so long. I've ordered food at a restaurant in the market. Let's go eat now!" Feng Che said.
"Yes! Thank you, Second Uncle!"
Soon, the group arrived at the restaurant, which, coincidentally, was Gu Qingfeng's restaurant! The manager had noticed Ji Jiuying the moment she entered.
The food was served quickly. After the last dish was served, Gu Qingfeng, who had already left the restaurant, returned and went to the private room!
"Gu Qingfeng!"
"Young Master Gu, it's been a long time!" Wen Longting greeted him with a smile.
"Miss Wen!" Gu Qingfeng responded, then went to Ji Jiuying and handed her the brocade box.
"Little Ninth Girl! Here's what you wanted!"
Ji Jiuying took the brocade box from his hand. The smell of blood made her frown slightly. "You're injured!"
"Minor injuries are nothing to mention!"
Gu Qingfeng chuckled dismissively, and Ji Jiuying instantly understood where Hua Shi'an's blood came from!
He took out some pills and tossed them to Gu Qingfeng, saying, "Take these pills; they will help your internal injuries heal faster."
Gu Qingfeng looked down at the pills, poured one out, and swallowed it without hesitation.
"Since there's nothing else, and I have other matters to attend to, I'll take my leave now. Please enjoy your meal!"
"Hmm~" Ji Jiuying responded and Gu Qingfeng left!
Ji Jiuying carefully opened the brocade box, inside which was a white jade bottle, and it was clear to the naked eye that it contained blood.
"Little Nine, what's this?" Feng Che asked.
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying told Feng Che about the restrictions imposed by the Blazing Sun Bow. Feng Che's brows furrowed, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes! This Hua Shi'an was indeed up to no good! How dare he even dream of his niece!
However, he was also puzzled as to how Hua Shi'an could possess such a profound binding technique. Even he hadn't noticed the binding on the bow. It seemed he would have to go up and ask Lao Wu about it when he had time!
They were also puzzled as to how the dean of Star Academy could discover the restraints on the bow! If Hua Shi'an had someone backing him, then the dean of Star Academy must be no ordinary person!
