Chapter 46: Breakthrough, Second-Level Spirit Master
Having successfully washed her tendons and marrow, the first thing Jun Jiu did was place her fingers on her pulse and use her mental power to inspect her dantian.
Her tendons had become broad and sturdy, her dantian stable, and her flesh and blood brimming with strength. She could sense the noticeable changes in her body with every movement of her hands and feet. Jun Jiu plucked a few silver needles and sent them flying into a nearby pillar.
Xiao Wu leaped over and tilted her head to get a better look. “They’ve sunk into the wood; the master’s strength has increased!”
Jun Jiu easily embedded the needles into the wooden pillar, demonstrating her newfound strength. It was clear that her power had grown significantly.
“Not only has your strength increased, but your agility and vitality have also greatly improved. The effect of cleansing your tendons and cutting your marrow this time seems to have surpassed expectations. It appears that the effectiveness of the medicinal materials in this world is indeed superior,” Jun Jiu remarked with a smirk.
The quality of her current body far exceeded that of her previous life.
“Now, I’ll attempt to cultivate,” Jun Jiu said as she returned to her room. She sat cross-legged on a soft couch and prepared to practice the Bing Xin Jue, testing whether she could smoothly cultivate after her tendon cleansing and marrow cutting.
Before closing her eyes, Jun Jiu instructed, “If Mo Wuyue comes again, don’t stop him.”
Xiao Wu’s ears perked up at her master’s words. The fact that Jun Jiu had lowered her guard against Mo Wuyue was cause for concern. Xiao Wu paced back and forth, her tail flicking nervously, her cat pupils reflecting anxiety.
In the end, Xiao Wu jumped onto the soft couch and lay down beside Jun Jiu’s legs. She was determined to guard her master and prevent Mo Wuyue from taking her away.
Unaware of Xiao Wu’s concerns, Jun Jiu believed that Mo Wuyue could enter if he wished, and there was no need to stop him. She closed her eyes, began adjusting her breathing, and allowed the spiritual energy from the surroundings to flow into her body. This energy entered her tendons, making its way to her dantian.
On her first attempt, the spiritual energy smoothly halted and gathered in her dantian.
Gradually, the amount of spiritual energy increased, and Jun Jiu felt the change with every breath. Not all the spiritual energy could be transformed into her own power; it needed to be purified and rid of impurities. Otherwise, consuming impure energy would damage her tendons and dantian, potentially causing severe consequences.
With the Bing Xin Jue in action, Jun Jiu proceeded carefully, prioritizing stability over speed.
Even Jun Jiu’s “slowness” was unattainable in the eyes of many. From the very beginning, this prodigy had been destined to outpace everyone.
Boom!
Jun Jiu successfully broke through to the first level of a spiritual master without realizing it, and she continued to cultivate.
Boom!
She broke through again, reaching the second level of a spiritual master. The aura in the air was intense.
Mo Wuyue felt the surge of spiritual energy in the atmosphere and smiled arrogantly. His golden eyes gleamed as if he was gazing at a precious treasure.
Xiao Jiu’er has started to cultivate~~
Looking around, Mo Wuyue issued an order. “Have you memorized everything?”
“Yes! I will collect the precious medicinal ingredients immediately!” Leng Yuan saluted, while secretly wondering why Mo Wuyue seemed like a hero collecting treasures to win a beauty’s favor.
Boom!
A loud noise echoed from Junjiu’s house. Mo Wuyue swiftly dodged and rushed inside, with Leng Yuan following closely behind. Had something gone wrong?
He kicked open the door and entered, only to find a chaotic scene. The soft couch was torn apart, as if a storm had ravaged the room. Jun Jiu stood amidst the wreckage, holding Xiao Wu’s soft neck in her hands, looking at her cat with a complex expression.
Mo Wuyue narrowed his eyes. “What happened?”
