Chapter 6: Show you the results of fifty hours

Ning Yue, covered in dust in her consciousness space, held the book “Three Days to Foundation Establishment” in her hands, already sporting dark circles under her eyes.

She excitedly said: “How about this, Xiaohua! Three days from beginner to Foundation Establishment, I did it in two days!”

Xiaohua twitched its leaf and, rarely, praised Ning Yue.

“Not bad. After all, some people spend their entire lives only hovering between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment. This shows you have a talent for cultivation.”

“However…”

“However what?” Ning Yue asked, putting down the book.

Xiaohua looked wistfully at the lush giant red tree, then at the other four bare trees.

It wasn’t an illusion; Ning Yue felt that the red tree had become even more lush.

“However, it’s not good for you to only cultivate your Fire Spirit Root. You need to develop comprehensively, understand?”

Ning Yue was puzzled and looked at the five large trees around her: “You mean those five trees are my spirit roots?”

“Mm-hmm,” Xiaohua replied, “Look how shabby your other four trees are.”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier,” Ning Yue said, “I was specifically cultivating this easy one, treating the others as impurities and not absorbing them.”

“Wow,” this time it was Xiaohua who was shocked, “You can cultivate five spirit roots simultaneously?!”

“Yeah, it’s just a bit slower,” Ning Yue said, “It’s just a matter of convenience.”

“Because people with five spirit roots are rare, and cultivation is time-consuming and laborious, everyone considers five spirit roots to be trash.

But not many people know that, initially, five spirit roots were the true geniuses.”

Xiaohua explained eloquently: “Even if five spirit roots are geniuses, no one can easily cultivate them. This is the first time I’ve seen someone who can cultivate them simultaneously.”

Ning Yue: “…Doesn’t that further prove I’m a genius?”

Xiaohua was extremely shocked and jumped onto Ning Yue’s shoulder: “Go for it! Genius! The future of the cultivation world is in your hands!”

Ning Yue: “…”

“No, I can’t handle the praise.”

Xiaohua: “…”

Xiaohua pulled out a leaf and hit Ning Yue hard.

Ning Yue once again spent thirty hours cultivating in the consciousness space. When she woke up, it was already bright.

The first thing she saw was Qi Xucheng standing by the bed looking at her, and Ning Yue was startled.

“What are you doing, big brother? Are you playing ghost in the morning?”

Qi Xucheng ignored her, frowning as he threw a bag of money to Ning Yue.

Ning Yue held the bag: “…Wow.”

Qi Xucheng: “Consider it payment for last night’s lodging.”

He said this and turned to leave.

“Hey” Ning Yue reached out to stop him, smiling at him as he turned around, “If you have more good things like this, remember to find me.”

Qi Xucheng snorted and left the room.

After Qi Xucheng left, no one bothered Ning Yue.

Ning Yue went downstairs, got something to eat, and immediately went upstairs to cultivate, without wandering around.

After all, the disciple selection was tomorrow.

Seeing Ning Yue break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in less than a day,

Xiaohua looked at Ning Yue with a ghostly expression.  It asked itself,

This cultivation speed is too outrageous. Even the initial geniuses didn’t cultivate like this.

As for the elders of the Fusang Sect

Although they didn’t know Ning Yue’s cultivation speed,

They could feel the repeated spiritual energy fluctuations.

Powerful enough to make their hearts rejoice!

They were already eager to meet Ning Yue.

…………

Ning Yue cultivated the entire day.  Excluding eating and sleeping, she spent the rest of the time cultivating in the consciousness space.

Ten hours outside.

Fifty hours inside!

Xiaohua was a little scared and poked Ning Yue.

“Maybe you shouldn’t try so hard. Just make a show of it.”

Ning Yue, exhausted, opened her eyes wide: “Cultivate a little longer, it’ll be over soon.”

Therefore, the results were quite abundant.

Ning Yue, the diligent overachiever, successfully advanced to the late Foundation Establishment stage, only one step away from Golden Core.

Xiaohua was completely bewildered.

After all, in the current world, many people are only at the early Foundation Establishment stage when they join a sect at the age of ten or so!

Although there was the help of the amazing book, it was only the title that was impressive!

Normally, it takes one or two years to cultivate even a small stage.

Ning Yue actually only took three days to cultivate from an ordinary person to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Xiaohua decided to be more respectful to Ning Yue from now on and not hit her casually.

After once again emerging from the consciousness space, Ning Yue burrowed into her bed and slept soundly for ten hours.

Before arriving at the venue, she bought a new outfit.

Light and convenient girl’s clothing, very conducive to movement.

Ning Yue arrived early, sitting under a large tree to enjoy the shade, secretly observing the others who came to participate in the selection.

They were mostly fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys and girls. Compared to them, Ning Yue was two or three years younger.

Ning Yue was very happy to act young.

“Oh, isn’t this the illegitimate son of the Jiang family? What, can’t stand it at home, so you’re here to seek a sense of belonging?”

Ning Yue dug her ears, curiously turning her head.

Not far away, several richly dressed teenagers were surrounding someone.

She peeked through the gap.

In the middle was a boy in simple white clothes, his eyes downcast, showing no reaction to the taunts.

“Hey!” One of the richly dressed teenagers kicked him. “What? Deaf?  Didn’t the Jiang family want you anymore, so you ran to the upper realm, you pathetic thing.”

These few were probably from prominent families in the lower realms; their clothing didn’t look like that of ordinary people.

Only the boy in the middle looked too shabby, similar to Ning Yue’s appearance when she first arrived.

Ning Yue felt a sense of shared suffering.

Besides, who doesn’t like to rescue someone in distress?

“Hey…” Ning Yue picked up a small stone, aimed precisely at the back of the richly dressed teenager’s neck, and threw it with force.

“Ah” The richly dressed teenager clutched his neck and glared fiercely at Ning Yue.

“Oh,” Ning Yue raised an eyebrow and walked over, “Quite fierce.”

The boy in white clothes finally showed emotion, watching Ning Yue’s movements without blinking.

The richly dressed teenager first sized up Ning Yue’s clothes, then his expression became contemptuous.

“Are you also a pathetic thing from the lower realms? I’ll let you know today, you can’t steal the spotlight so easily.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately raised his fist and fiercely attacked Ning Yue.

He was very tall and didn’t look light; one punch could cover Ning Yue’s face. It looked quite terrifying.

Ning Yue whistled, nimbly dodging, using her leg to block his body, crossed her arms, and curiously asked.

“Strange, isn’t this the cultivation world? Why are you resorting to physical violence? Use your spiritual energy to attack me!”

The richly dressed teenager didn’t expect Ning Yue, who looked so petite, to have such great strength. He couldn’t advance for a moment.

He became furious and shouted to the others: “What are you all standing there for? Beat her up!”

The others were stunned for a moment, then swarmed forward.

“Is this cheating?” Ning Yue withdrew her foot, leisurely crossing her arms, “Isn’t it embarrassing to bully a little girl with so many people?”

Just as they were about to touch her, Ning Yue smiled slyly.

These richly dressed young masters didn’t seem to be very strong; even their initial attack was with bare hands.

Perfect, let her test the results of her cultivation these past few days.

A vast amount of spiritual energy surged out from around Ning Yue.
