Chapter 242: Departing for Longshuang Great Marsh
Right!
How could she forget that the System’s rewards were truly good things.
Although the rewards for the Qi Condensation stage were all things found in Yunzhou Continent.
Just looking at the 100 volumes of Cultivation Techniques, one could tell the System was generous.
It gave something as heaven-defying as opening a Spiritual Root right at the start, so what if it had even more heaven-defying good things later?
In an instant, Song Jiulai’s enthusiasm for the subsequent main quests grew even greater.
“I will definitely urge the Players to progress faster!”
“No, they’re all too lazy now. They won’t grind unless pushed. I need to create an event to motivate them.”
Especially now that a large batch of New Players had entered.
And a portion of them were even slacking off.
It was simply too much!
Seeing that Song Jiulai agreed, Nan Qi raised her hand and summoned both the Nine Transformations Dragon Bone and the Step by Step Lotus Kill, presenting them to her.
When Song Jiulai handed over the five High-grade Spirit Stones, her heart ached.
It just happened to be exactly within her financial range!
Every time she spent money, it felt like she was on the verge of bankruptcy.
After Nan Qi gave her the Cultivation Method, she said, “When you reach the Core Formation Stage, come back to True Treasure Pavilion, and I will give you the intermediate level of Step by Step Lotus Kill.”
However, she was just saying that.
For someone with poor Talent, reaching the Core Formation Stage could take a hundred years, or even two hundred years.
By then, who knew what the situation would be?
But Time was the least noteworthy thing in Yunzhou Continent.
After all, their history spanned tens of thousands of years.
Song Jiulai smiled enthusiastically, “Okay, okay, Boss, it was a pleasure cooperating. I’ll be back next time.”
Nan Qi paused for a moment, then said, “Alright, I welcome you anytime.”
After Song Jiulai left, Nan Qi muttered, “Strange, why do I feel like he’s a bit familiar?”
The System also asked, “Why aren’t you praising her? Did you forget you swore to shower her with compliments?”
Song Jiulai tutted, “Praising her also depends on the timing. I couldn’t do it this time, but I definitely will next time! The main thing is that she’s already given me a Cultivation Technique that’s useful for my Magic Treasures. One can’t be too greedy!”
System: “Is it because you can’t get it, so you can’t do it?”
Song Jiulai: “If you say ‘knowing your child is like a father’ again, you’ll eat shit.”
System: “See! Knowing your child is like a mother!”
Song Jiulai: “…”
Damn it, sooner or later she would find out what kind of dog thing this System was.
Song Jiulai didn’t have time to argue with it now.
Having obtained two Cultivation Techniques, she excitedly returned to the Inn and was the first to begin practicing the Dragon Bone Transformation.
For safety, she had even specifically chosen an unusual Cultivator Inn.
Her own room was equivalent to a Cave Heaven Blessed Land, where anything she did would not be detected by other Cultivators.
This was to prevent the commotion from her cultivation from attracting attention.
Nan Qi said that the Dragon Bone Transformation would undergo a qualitative change upon reaching the Sea of Consciousness. So, didn’t she already have a Sea of Consciousness?
Integrating the Cultivation Method into her mind, Song Jiulai instantly understood the process of cultivating the Dragon Bone Transformation.
How to cultivate it depended on individual comprehension.
Different comprehensions and different cultivation processes would also lead to subtle differences.
This was why some people cultivated well and others cultivated poorly.
Palm Thunder was relatively simple and direct, converting Spiritual Energy into lightning. Once the process was understood, it wasn’t difficult, and the higher the cultivation, the stronger the power.
The Nine Transformations Dragon Bone was different.
Song Jiulai sat cross-legged on a patch of grass, her eyes tightly closed.
First, she drew Spiritual Energy into her Body, then integrated it into her flesh and blood, guiding it along her meridians inch by inch.
Subsequently, she circulated the Nine Transformations Dragon Bone Incantation, her consciousness spreading to every inch of her Body.
The Cultivation Method required extreme caution, otherwise, one could easily fall into Cultivation Deviation.
Song Jiulai knew that her comprehension was definitely not as monstrous as some Players, so she always chose the most stable method, first comprehending the changes in the Incantation’s circulation process at the slowest speed.
This way, if any problems arose, she could discover them quickly.
Of course, the consequence of this was that she would suffer more than others.
A nagging pain emanated from every subtle part of her Body.
Uncomfortable!
Extremely uncomfortable!
But there were also benefits; at least during this process, her circulation was relatively smooth.
The Dragon Bone Transformation altered flesh and meridians, forcibly tempering the Body. In the early stages of cultivation, even the Blood began to thicken.
If someone could see what was happening inside Song Jiulai’s Body, they would be shocked to discover her Blood constantly swirling, drawing on the meridians, and a trace of Aura, unseen by Song Jiulai until now, gradually seeping out of her Body.
As the Cultivation Method’s Incantation continuously circulated, this trace of mysterious Aura grew, and Song Jiulai’s speed in circulating the Incantation became more proficient.
The Aura was colorless, but Song Jiulai always felt it was like a phantom.
Finally, as the Aura gradually formed into a long strip, it began to rotate and circulate around Song Jiulai’s Dantian.
Initially, the speed was extremely slow; with each rotation, Song Jiulai felt her entire Body convulsing.
Her eyes were closed, her brows furrowed tightly, because the pain inside her Body, which she hadn’t felt for a long time, made her lips tremble.
At this moment, even the System fell silent.
It never disturbed Song Jiulai during cultivation.
It wasn’t afraid of the Host being mischievous normally; when it came to enduring hardship, the System felt she was quite strong.
She would cry about wishing she were dead, but in reality, she was the most diligent in cultivating Cultivation Techniques—she was afraid of being beaten.
Thus, an unknown amount of Time passed.
“Hoo—”
As Song Jiulai was immersed in this cultivation environment, she was awakened by the scorching heat of the Jade Token.
It meant the Time to depart for Longshuang Great Marsh had arrived.
People were being gathered to depart.
If she didn’t arrive within the time it took for one stick of incense to burn, this Jade Token would become invalid, and she wouldn’t be able to go.
Song Jiulai stopped cultivating. Although she still felt a bit uncomfortable, she felt much better.
And she clearly felt that the swirling gas inside her Body was a little faster than at the beginning.
But it was only a little.
In all this Time, it had only rotated twice.
Song Jiulai opened her eyes and asked the System, “How long have I been cultivating?”
System: “Three days.”
Song Jiulai was shocked: “Three days for only two rotations? What a snail’s pace!”
This Cultivation Method was indeed not for ordinary people.
However, she felt there were some changes in her Body.
It was just that she couldn’t describe the changes.
She pinched her wrist, “I don’t feel anything. It’s still so soft. Oh, my skin is so smooth…”
This was the benefit of being a Cultivator!
And she subconsciously ignored the Scorpion sleeping in her sleeve.
Now, because of it, she had to wear long sleeves every day, otherwise, she couldn’t hide this thing.
It would be bad to scare others.
The System also said coldly, “You’ve only been cultivating for three days, do you expect to turn into a muscular woman?”
Song Jiulai didn’t bicker with it. She got up and headed to the assembly point.
In a tall building below the Teleportation Array, a Guanhai Sect Teleportation Array guide was gathering Cultivators.
Song Jiulai immediately spotted two acquaintances.
Honghuang and An Xiu.
Song Jiulai had never directly interacted with her Players before; she mostly used her original appearance to put on a show.
This time, she had changed her face and excitedly went over.
Over there, standing among the leaders, a blurry female image flashed through Shen Hai’an’s mind again.
He frowned slightly. For some reason, why did the prophecy image flicker again?
He looked around the team.
He still couldn’t see any problems.
