Chapter Sixteen: Entering the Refining Qi Stage

  Luoyu went through her daily routine as a miscellaneous servant. In the morning, she worked in the dining hall, and in the afternoon, she returned to her room to practice with Li Dairu. As for the other two roommates, Wang Qi and Wang Ke, their schedules were opposite to theirs, and they didn't have much of a relationship.

  In the second month, it was found that only 100 spiritual stones were not enough, so Ziyu gave her an additional 50, increasing them gradually every month. Later on, Ziyu would go to deliver spiritual stones every ten days or half a month, and eventually even used up his own share for Luoyu's use. Only then did Luoyu enter the first level of Qi training, at which point there was only half a month left before the one-year deadline.

  Luo Yu stood in the bathroom, washing off a thin layer of grime from her body with water, suddenly recalling the breakthrough she had just made.

  That day, when she returned from the cafeteria, Luo Yu practiced as usual with the聚灵盘. Suddenly, her heart moved and she quickly used her divine sense to examine her body. She saw that a purple mass the size of a soybean had absorbed the spiritual energy in her dantian and then suddenly spat out a small amount of spiritual energy. Although the quantity was small, it was much purer than the spiritual energy she had absorbed from outside.

  Could it be that the Purple Mansion also has the effect of purifying spiritual energy? Then wouldn't she be invincible at the same level in the future! Heaven finally gave this passerby a taste of sweetness.

  Luoyu took advantage of the heat to strike while the iron was hot, speeding up the absorption of spiritual energy. The purple mass continued to circulate in her meridians, its speed slightly increased, and for every ten units of spiritual energy it absorbed, it would spit out one unit back at her. Luoyu felt an indescribable comfort, and in this state, she forgot about time and everything around her.

  Her dantian and meridians were aching, a sign that she was about to break through. She didn't dare stop, and continued to absorb spiritual energy with all her might. Suddenly, she heard a soft whooshing sound inside her body, and her body felt refreshed. She had broken through!

  Luo Yu opened her eyes to find that it had already darkened outside, but there was no one in the room.

  With a creak, Li Dabiao pushed open the door and came in, his face filled with excitement: "Luo Yu has entered the first level of Qi training!"

  "That's right! Fortunately, we don't have to be driven down the mountain, haha!" Luo Yu was also excited, "By the way, why haven't Wang Qi and Wang Ke, the two sisters, returned yet?"

  Li Dahu smiled helplessly: "You've already been cultivating for five days! I saw that your absorption of spiritual energy was much faster than usual that day, and when Wang Qi and her sister came back quickly, you didn't react at all. I was afraid they would disturb you, so I kept watch outside."

  Normally, Luo Yu never used the Spirit Gathering Plate in front of Wang Shi's two sisters, because someone who didn't know how to absorb spiritual energy wouldn't need a Spirit Gathering Plate. Moreover, the consumption of spirit stones was so great that it would inevitably make people think too much. As for Li Da Yu, Luo Yu and she went out together, so it was difficult to hide anything from her. So Luo Yu simply didn't hide it. And Li Da Yu saw it but never asked, which made Luo Yu feel relieved.

  "Later, I gave them ten spirit stones and asked them to stay elsewhere for a few nights while you broke through. At the cafeteria, I also took leave from the person in charge, but all of next year's spirit stones were deducted."

  "So you've been keeping watch outside for five days without sleep?" Looking at Li Da Yu's haggard face, Luo Yu felt as if something was stuck in her chest, and she felt a wave of acid rising up.

  "It's just five days without sleep, it's nothing for a cultivator like me. By the way, the smell on your body is much lighter than mine was back then, but you should still go wash up." Li Dahu looked up and down at Luoyu, with a hint of a smile on his face.

  "Alright, I'll listen to sister." Luo Yu picked up the clean clothes and rushed out of the room.

  Li Dahuang, from now on you are my sister! At this moment, Luoyu's heart put Li Dahuang in the same position as her brother Zixi.

  On the second day in the morning, Luo Yu sent a message to her brother with a paper crane. In the afternoon when she returned to her room, she saw Zi Xi waiting at her door.

  "Brother, you're here!" Luo Yu hastily ran over, opened the door, and pulled Zi Yun into the house. Li Da Ni knew that the two siblings had private matters to discuss, so she made an excuse to leave. Actually, Luo Yu wanted Li Da Ni to stay, but her brother couldn't completely trust Li Da Ni, this kind of thing can't be forced, it will have to wait until later.

  "You little girl, if you don't enter the Qi Refining stage soon, brother won't have any more spirit stones to give you. You've used 200,000 spirit stones, which is our family's savings for the past 10 years." Although Zi Ye said he was heartbroken over the spirit stones, his face didn't show even a hint of sadness, only overflowing joy.

  "You see, I only took five days to enter the first layer of Qi Refining, this is the speed of a single Spirit Root. It can be seen that this Ling Stone Flower is valuable. When I become rich in the future, I will send two Spirit Veins to Father and Mother." Luo Yu was full of pride

  At this time, Luo Yu's absorption of spiritual energy was slightly faster than that of a dual-spirit-rooted person, and after purification, only one-tenth remained. The speed was comparable to that of an average triple-spirit-rooted person. However, her cultivation had entered a state of unity with heaven and man, which was only slightly inferior to sudden enlightenment. Moreover, the meridians in her body were already much wider than those of ordinary people, so as long as the spiritual energy was full, she could advance to the next level, making this advancement extremely smooth.

  Luoyu also knew, but was just teasing her brother for fun.

  After chatting, Ziyu left a storage bag and made an appointment to attend a lecture at the main peak next month on their day off.

  The main peak of the Tianxuan Sect is the Wanjian Peak in the southeast of the Yuntian Mountains, where there are the Main Hall of the Sect, the Scripture Pavilion, the Palace of Transmission, the Executive Temple and the Martial Arts Hall. In modern terms, it is a center of culture, politics and power.

  The Yun Tian mountain range has thousands of large and small peaks, the Tian Xuan sect selected twelve high mountains with the most concentrated spiritual energy surrounding the main peak as the array eyes to guard the main peak, together with the surrounding subordinate peaks forming the Twelve Star Big Array, strictly guarding the main peak. The disciples of the sect are divided among these thirteen peaks, as for the Yuan Ying period old ancestor who is in seclusion in a place hidden by the formation, only high-ranking members know the entrance.
