Chapter 222 - Breakthrough, Advancement (2)
Leng Ruoxue nodded. She returned to her room and directly entered the Heaven and Earth Bracelet. Of course, she also brought Darling, Baby, and the little silver mink along with her.
"Qing Jue, I'll leave them to you. Don't let them fight," Leng Ruoxue said to Qing Jue while also warning the three beasts.
"Big Sister, don't worry. They won't be able to fight with me around," Qing Jue promised as he looked at the three seemingly well-behaved beasts.
"Okay. Big Sister is going into seclusion. Don't let anyone disturb me for the next few days," Leng Ruoxue ordered and walked straight toward the purple bamboo house.
"Did you hear what Big Sister said? Be good, or I'll have to lock you up," Qing Jue warned.. Then he ignored them and ran along to take care of his herbs.
"Xue'er!" The little silver mink lay on the ground, crying out softly in dejection. More tears welled up in his eyes. Boohoo… Xue'er is really angry with me. He felt so wronged! Boohoo… I hate my small body. In fact, he also wanted to pull Xue'er into his arms, but he couldn't do it now. Boohoo…
In the purple bamboo house, Leng Ruoxue was completely unaware of the little mink's conflicted thoughts. Right now, she was fully focused on breaking through.
The Heaven Defying Art had a total of nine levels. She had broken through the first level with the help of her master, and she had only cultivated to the second level now.
But she really hadn't expected the second level of the Heaven Defying Art to be so difficult. The amount of spiritual power required to break through was unimaginable.
After accumulating for a period of time, the spiritual power in her body was almost saturated. With Darling's advancement just now, she had vaguely touched the edge of a breakthrough. Therefore, she believed that she should be able to break through in a few days.
To be honest, she had been waiting for this day for a long time. Otherwise, she would have been able to advance to Spiritual Supremacy a long time ago with the amount of spiritual power in her body. But her current cultivation was mainly based on the Heaven Defying Art. If she couldn't break through in the Heaven Defying Art, she wouldn't be able to advance to Spiritual Supremacy. Alas! This was probably the overbearing nature of high-level cultivation techniques!
Leng Ruoxue sat cross-legged and gathered all the spiritual power in her body to her dantian. She quietly circulated the Heaven Defying Art in her heart. Now, she could only wait…
After an unknown period of time, the spiritual power in Leng Ruoxue's body suddenly became restless. Immediately after, it started flowing crazily along the meridians in her body. Moreover, the spiritual power was very disorderly and was running around everywhere…
At this moment, Leng Ruoxue had an abnormally painful expression on her face. Her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her face was slightly pale…
Slowly, as the spiritual power in her body became more and more orderly, her expression gradually returned to calmness…
After a long time, the spiritual power that seemed to be guided by someone began to concentrate in one direction. The originally massive amount of spiritual power gathered and became smaller and smaller until it condensed into a liquid sphere the size of a baby's fist. The liquid sphere of spiritual power slowly circulated along the meridians of her body…
At first, the circulation was very slow. Gradually, it became faster and faster. After several cycles, the liquid sphere of spiritual power crashed violently against the barrier that prevented her breakthrough again and again…
After countless collisions, the barrier that had become as thin as a cicada's wing shattered with a bang! Leng Ruoxue's Heaven Defying Art finally broke through the second level and entered the third level.
After her breakthrough, Leng Ruoxue was in no hurry to get up. Instead, she continued to sit on the spot and absorb the rich spiritual power in the space.
After entering the third level of the Heaven Defying Art, the massive amount of spiritual power stored in her body instantly emptied. Her body became like a bottomless pit again and began to absorb the spiritual power of the outside world frantically…
After her spiritual power was almost restored twice over from before, Leng Ruoxue stopped absorbing and left the purple bamboo house.
"Xue'er!" The little silver mink, who had been guarding outside the purple bamboo house, rushed into Leng Ruoxue's arms when he saw her.
Uh! Why was he so passionate? I only went into seclusion for a few days, right? Leng Ruoxue looked at the little mink lying in her arms and unwilling to get up. Did this little guy make a mistake again?
"What's the matter?" Leng Ruoxue raised the little mink with both hands and looked into his eyes.
"Xue'er, I missed you so much. Don't be mad at me anymore, okay?" the little silver mink begged as tears welled up in his eyes…
"Okay, but you can't be so barbaric anymore." Leng Ruoxue's heart softened as she looked at the little mink's pitiful appearance and reminded him.
"Yes, yes." The little silver mink nodded repeatedly, but he was thinking that he would never teach Xue'er spirit beasts a lesson in front of her again in his heart.
"That's more like it." Leng Ruoxue caressed the little mink's soft fur.
"Big Sister, quickly unlock my seal!" Qing Jue said impatiently as he stood in front of Leng Ruoxue. Every time she broke through, she would unlock another level of the seal of the Heaven and Earth Bracelet, and he could recover another ability.
"Alright." Leng Ruoxue began unlocking the Heaven and Earth Bracelet's seal.
"Qing Jue, what ability did you obtain this time?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
"Big Sister, Qing Jue won't tell you first. You'll know later." Qing Jue smiled mysteriously and kept her guessing.
"You've become a bad apple, little fellow." Leng Ruoxue pretended to be displeased. Seeing Qing Jue being so smug, she couldn't help stretching out her fingers to pinch his soft little face gently. Wow, it feels really good!
"Big Sister." Qing Jue looked at Leng Ruoxue aggrievedly.
"Alright, Big Sister will go out first. I won't fool around with you anymore." Leng Ruoxue smiled gently. She was really afraid that her grandfather and the others would get anxious if she didn't go out now. Moreover, she still had to find a place to advance to Spiritual Supremacy!
After speaking, Leng Ruoxue left the Heaven and Earth Bracelet and went directly to the living room, where everyone happened to be.
"Xue'er, you're finally out." Leng Qingtian finally felt relieved when he saw her.
"Grandpa, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Leng Ruoxue asked with a puzzled expression. She had only been in seclusion for a few days, right? Why did her grandfather look so anxious?
