Fla Dragon Dynasty, Qingcheng Palace:
This is the bedchamber of the Seventh Princess, Gu Qingcheng, the most favored by the current dynasty.
Not only is she as beautiful as her na suggests, capable of captivating a city with her beauty, but her cultivation talent is exceptionally high. At just twenty years old, she has reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, truly a Heavenly Pride Girl amongst her peers.
The red candles flicker, casting a shadow on Gu Qingcheng’s face, which is both stunning and srizing.
However, at this mont, her beautiful face appears sowhat cold.
"Luzhu, is that what the Loose Cultivator called Li Chen truly said? That even ten of wouldn’t be as important as one of his maids?"
The maid called Luzhu, hearing the noticeable anger in her princess’s tone, quickly said, "Princess, those are rely the reckless words of a loose cultivator. You are of noble lineage; how could a humble servant be compared to you?"
Gu Qingcheng looked at her lovely reflection in the mirror and asked, "I heard that when he said these words, Zhou Ao was present. Did he have no reaction at all?"
To this question, Luzhu truly didn’t know how to respond.
Zhou Ao, the eldest son of the Zhou Family, is the Seventh Princess’s fiancé; she couldn’t afford to offend either side, so she remained silent.
"Hmph, what a useless man!"
Gu Qingcheng twisted her hair, cursing with a sullen expression.
Upon hearing this, Luzhu beca greatly alard and quickly knelt to plead.
Gu Qingcheng glanced at her and said, "It’s not your fault; why kneel? Get up quickly!"
Luzhu bowed in gratitude, "Thank you, Princess!"
Gu Qingcheng pondered for a mont then said, "Tomorrow night, I intend to hold a Heavenly Pride Banquet at the Night Flower Hall. Go and visit the Zhou Family, and make sure to invite that Li Chen!"
"I want to see if this loose cultivator really has three heads and six arms."
"Yes, Princess!"
...
At night, specks of starlight filtered through the window, scattered within the room.
Inside the room, there were two people!
One was Li Chen, and the other was Ji Lingling.
Between them, there was a wooden barrel half as tall as a person.
Inside the barrel, there was an oval-shaped Spiritual Pearl.
This was precisely the Water Spirit Pearl that Li Chen had obtained from the forbidden area of the Spiritual Spring Sect.
The Water Spirit Pearl is like a mobile spring, able to nurture water through rotation.
Moreover, the spiritual power contained within this spring water is dozens, even hundreds of tis that of outside, truly a rare treasure.
The room was silent.
Only the Water Spirit Pearl quietly rotated in the wooden barrel.
Soon, the water in the barrel filled to the brim.
Li Chen flicked at the Spiritual Spring Water, producing crisp sounds of water splashing.
Then, he looked up at Ji Lingling opposite him, expressionless, and said, "Alright, you can co in directly!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Ji Lingling hesitated, seeming a bit nervous.
Li Chen saw the thoughts within Ji Lingling and casually walked to her side.
"Don’t worry; it will be fine!"
With Li Chen’s reassurance, Ji Lingling’s mind was slightly relieved.
As she nodded gently like a chick pecking grains, she suddenly felt a warm and strong hand press against her back.
Li Chen placed his hand gently on Ji Lingling’s top of the skull, infusing a stream of True Yuan into her head.
"Ling’er, now do as I say, swallow the Spirit Refining Pill!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Ji Lingling, without any hesitation, took out the Spirit Refining Pill and put it into her mouth.
The Spirit Refining Pill lted instantly, leaving a burning sensation.
Ji Lingling felt her throat, her head, and her entire body were smoking, as if ready to burst into flas at any mont.
"Just bear it for a while longer; this is the Spirit Refining Pill exerting its effects, cleansing your body and refining your Divine Soul. Follow my instructions to align your mind and soul, holding steady..."
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Ji Lingling felt imnsely encouraged, enduring the painful burning flas, forcing the Big and Small 36 Circuits to align her mind and soul, holding steady.
Ji Lingling felt herself entering a mystical world.
At this mont, she was no longer a person but a phoenix.
A phoenix prepared for Nirvana Rebirth!
The flas gradually consud her flesh until it beca void.
However, soon, her body began to rapidly grow again, visible to the naked eye.
When fully grown, Ji Lingling’s consciousness returned to reality.
At this mont, the water in the Spiritual Spring had started boiling.
However, now Ji Lingling could no longer feel the burning pain; there was even a sense of indescribable comfort.
Suddenly, she seed to rember sothing and quickly shouted.
"Young Master!"
When Ji Lingling glanced at Li Chen, she saw tiny beads of sweat ford on his forehead.
Moreover, he appeared extrely weak, like an old man depleted of True Yuan, nearing the end.
"Young Master, what’s wrong with you?"
Li Chen waved his hand and said, "No worries, just True Yuan exhaustion, a few days of rest, and I’ll recover!"
Then, he smiled at Ji Lingling.
"Ling’er, congratulations. You’ve cleared your ridians and successfully refined your spirit!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Ji Lingling’s tears flowed uncontrollably like gushes from a spring.
After a long while, she stamred emotionally, "Young Master, you’re so kind to ..."
