Chapter 6, Night Raid

As for the core disciples, they must reach the Dan Formation stage and meet a series of stringent assessment criteria to qualify. Qin Muling's current cultivation level is evidently insufficient, and he has made no contributions to the sect whatsoever. He is only allowed to bypass this stage in advance due to the explicit permission of the Supreme Master.

Qin Mu Ling felt a slight joy in her heart. In the cultivation world, treasures that can enhance a cultivator's spiritual essence are quite rare. The strength of the spiritual essence largely determines the upper limit of a cultivator's growth. Therefore, resources of this type have always been exorbitantly priced and are often hard to come by.

This is the state of Wu Xuan, where the practitioner has initially freed themselves from the shackles of the mortal body, allowing them to perceive and comprehend the mysteries of the forces of heaven and earth, thus embarking on the true path of cultivation

Qin Muling helplessly said: "There are differences between men and women, so I kindly ask Senior Sister to wait outside for a moment. Is it alright if I dress myself?"

The miscellaneous disciples of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace are generally at the Qi Refining stage. Outer disciples must reach the peak of the Qi Refining stage and accumulate enough merit to be promoted; whereas inner disciples must start at the Profound Understanding stage and also meet the requirements with a greater contribution of merit.

Xue Bingxuan said softly: "This time, let me first explain the classification of cultivation realms..."

Of course, even if she feels wronged and unfair deep down, Qin Muling does not dare to confront the senior sister now, otherwise it would only further provoke her, and she does not know what kind of punishment she might face

Xue Bingxuan narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, scrutinizing him with a hint of confusion for a moment. The next second, the thing she feared the most finally happened

Why are you just lying there without moving? Do you still want to be lazy?

On the bed, Qin Muling, in a state between sleep and wakefulness, was completely awakened by a gentle fragrant breeze that brushed against his face

When the enhancement of the physical body reaches a certain critical point, the vitality and blood become highly refined, resulting in a qualitative change that stimulates the potential deep within the body, transforming from a chrysalis into a butterfly, and subsequently giving rise to various incredible abilities. One can then possess great powers that are difficult for ordinary people to imagine

In the depths of the sea of consciousness, faint azure and purple clouds swirl around, while a mysterious seed quietly hovers, its surface adorned with countless profound traces of the Dao, flickering and flowing with deep chaotic hues. Amidst its lively and dynamic presence, there emanates an ancient and weathered aura of solemnity, solitude, and lofty grandeur

In the room, Qin Muling, feeling wronged, was frantically searching for her clothes, thinking to herself, wasn't it just a matter of reliving the habit of sleeping late that I had in my previous life? It didn't really affect you at all; it was you who insisted on the nighttime raid, what does that have to do with me

... ... That's not right, what are you doing?

In the spacious bedroom, a fragrant aroma permeates the air, with brocade curtains hanging low. On the large embroidered bed, Qin Muling, nestled within the phoenix and dragon embroidered quilt, appears to be peacefully asleep with her eyes closed, yet in reality, she is silently communicating with the mysterious seed in her sea of consciousness.

This place was originally inhabited by an inner sect disciple close to Xue Bingxuan, but now, in order to accommodate Qin Muling, the residence of the former has been relocated elsewhere

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Qin Muling shrank back and called out softly, wondering if this senior sister would directly lift her blanket

A moment later

The Qi Refinement stage is divided into nine minor realms, serving as the foundational phase of the cultivation path. Practitioners refine their physical bodies, temper their meridians, and harmonize their vital energy and blood through various introductory techniques and mantras, supplemented by numerous secret medicinal dishes, different types of elixirs, and various body-refining secret arts, gradually drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies, step by step enhancing their physique and strength

Today, unlike the glorious era of the ancient civilization of the Immortals, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has significantly diminished. The cultivation system of the Mystical Sect, which has evolved anew in this time and space, has gradually gained recognition and acceptance throughout the entire cultivation community after a long period of innovation and refinement.

The room is tightly sealed by a magical formation on all sides, and the courtyard where Xue Bingxuan resides is just next door. In the event of any unforeseen circumstances, assistance can be provided immediately to ensure that everything is foolproof

Fengge Peak, the dojo of Master Sister Xue Bingxuan

Upon seeing him remain motionless, Xue Bingxuan frowned slightly and said with a hint of displeasure, as if addressing a picture book

The clear and melodious voice of Xue Bingxuan emerged from her cherry lips

Qin Muling hurriedly agreed but showed no intention of getting out of bed, looking at her with eager eyes, implying that she should go wait outside, as the teaching location was in the adjacent training room

Alright, let's begin the class

Since this seed has such marvelous uses, even if the increments are small each time, as long as one perseveres and accumulates like grains of sand into a tower, one's own soul and essence will inevitably grow strong enough to stand proudly in the universe

Xue Bingxuan stood in front of the dressing mirror changing her clothes, her jade-like hands resting on her waist as she skillfully unfastened the hidden buckle of her belt. The luxurious outer skirt gracefully slipped away, revealing an elegant inner garment adorned with delicate peach blossoms. The smooth, silky fabric slid down her rounded, snow-white shoulders, exposing a bright red, form-fitting silk embroidered belly pouch that wrapped around her full, rounded bosom, showcasing a deep, unfathomable cleavage. Her snow-white, tender skin gleamed dazzlingly, while the slender ribbon was stretched slightly tight by her ample bosom, tied into an exquisite knot behind her jade-like neck. As the smooth, silky fabric slid down her rounded, snow-white shoulders, it revealed the bright red, form-fitting silk embroidered belly pouch that enveloped her full, rounded bosom, showcasing a deep, unfathomable cleavage. Her snow-white, tender skin gleamed dazzlingly, while the slender ribbon was stretched slightly tight by her ample bosom, tied into an exquisite knot behind her jade-like neck.

Qin Muling performed a formal bow and only sat down opposite her after receiving permission

Qin Muling pondered, recalling certain memories from her previous life, such as the ginseng fruit tree, the Fusang divine tree, the Bodhi tree, and the Chaos Blue Lotus. All of these belong to the innate divine objects born from the primordial chaos, each renowned and possessing supreme efficacy, especially the Chaos Blue Lotus, which is universally recognized as the foremost of the innate spiritual roots

Dressed neatly, Qin Muling arrived at the training room, where Xue Bingxuan had already regained her dignified and solemn demeanor, exuding a noble and elegant aura as she sat quietly on the jade cushion

Immediately, there was a chaotic scene, and the sound of wailing echoed in the bedroom: "Senior sister, you cannot blame me for this!"

A warm, comfortable, and immensely pleasant sensation spreads throughout the body, as if immersed in a warm spiritual spring, seemingly enhancing the strength of the soul as well.

In front of her was a jade table, on which were placed several jade slips, two bottles of elixirs, and a golden gourd

At this moment, the night is deepening in the luxurious and exquisite courtyard

Qin Muling opened his eyes and saw the radiant Xue Bingxuan standing by the bedside, slightly leaning forward to observe him, her beautiful eyes as tranquil as a deep pool.

Rest during the day and teach until dawn at night, this is the rule she personally set for Qin Muling

Bang!

After much effort, Qin Muling finally saw the seed tremble slightly for a moment, as tiny specks of shimmering light gracefully scattered around it, swirling and dancing for a brief while before silently merging with its own sea of consciousness.

The courtyard was quite silent, with only four puppets present, and no other maids or servants. To maintain confidentiality, Xue Bingxuan took it upon herself to handle any matters related to Qin Muling, not allowing anyone else to interfere.

Next door, in the chamber of the senior sister

The senior sister's actions were also nowhere to be seen, as a fierce wind suddenly arose, sweeping away the brocade blanket from Qin Muling's body without a trace

Draped in a sheer veil, Xue Bingxuan entered the adjacent bathroom, which featured a bath pool approximately three zhang in diameter, paved with precious jade stones. The sound of water flowed gently, and mist rose in the air. Warm spring water gushed forth from the mouth of an antique purple copper beast head, while countless pearls the size of bowls were embedded in the dome, illuminating the entire room, bright as day.

Not long after, Xue Bingxuan, who had finished tidying up, returned to her boudoir and changed into a new dress. She thought for a moment and added a thick, snow-white, turned-down collar cloak over it, barely covering her sinful figure, before turning around and pushing the door open.

Currently, among the numerous branch temples of the Yunmeng Heavenly Palace, the total number of core disciples from the new generation is merely over 3,000. However, the actual number remains unknown; they are the backbone supporting the entire sect.

In the eyes of the other party, my current low level of cultivation makes me nothing more than fresh meat, to be dealt with as they please

Good ... ... Good.

Is it the legendary innate Hongmeng spiritual root? It is just unclear which type it belongs to, and at present, it appears to be merely a seed, with no knowledge of when it will begin to sprout and grow

Get up, it's time for class

Li Yan, her face flushed, stormed out of the door

Senior sister
