Chapter 60: A Warning for Huo
She had seen many people crying bitterly, but her situation was quite rare.
After a few minutes, Zhang Yunlu sat up straight, examined herself internally, and the staff member stepped aside.
Inside her Spiritual Sea, the originally pure white spiritual energy was now tinged with a layer of silver light, appearing much denser. Moreover, the size of her Spiritual Sea had actually expanded by one-third under the stimulation of that intense pain.
Although this Nine Qi Cailian Method was a bit violent, its special effects far surpassed those of ordinary Cailian Methods.
As waves of warmth emanated from the red jade on her chest, the pain from various parts of her body gradually began to lessen.
A few minutes later, Zhang Yunlu opened her eyes and slowly stood up, which stunned the staff member who was just about to come over to help her.
Huh?
She can stand up by herself already?
"Thank you."
Zhang Yunlu nodded slightly towards the staff member, then walked directly outside.
As soon as she came out, the doors of the Cailian Method cultivation rooms number seven and eight, not far away, also opened.
From Cailian Method cultivation room number seven, two staff members carried out a stretcher. Lying on it was a pale-faced young man, looking completely listless and seemingly exhausted.
What came out of Cailian Method cultivation room number eight was rather horrifying.
Although it was also a stretcher, it was covered with a white sheet.
Dead, he's dead?!
Although the young man from number seven was very weak, he was still stunned speechless. Is Cailian Method cultivation this dangerous?
Maybe... I should just use a Spiritual Energy Chamber for Foundation Establishment instead.
For a moment, he felt like backing out.
Like most people, he had not endured the pain brought by 'Refining'; he had only barely managed to get through by expelling the spiritual imprint.
But Zhang Yunlu discovered that the person was not dead. Having experienced countless life-and-death battles, she had a keen sense of whether someone was alive.
There was just a trace of an extremely faint foul smell...
So that's it. He wasn't dead; he was just afraid of social death, which is why he covered his Face.
The staff member who had been responsible for Zhang Yunlu closed the ceiling device and also came over to her side.
"Today, only you and one other person before you succeeded."
Zhang Yunlu paused: "Are there very few people who successfully cultivate the Cailian Method?"
"Yes, very few."
Those who can come here are Cultivators who are fully confident in their Foundation, but only a very small number can successfully endure the first stage.
Furthermore, because most people use the Basic Refining Method, which reduces pain, many more people give up when the pain cannot be reduced in the second stage.
Ultimately, those who can persevere and complete all three stages are extremely rare.
"The person before you used the Basic Refining Method, so your success rate in the latter two stages will be even higher than theirs," the staff member said with a smile.
Cultivators who purchased the third tier of nursing service and didn't require constant care throughout the process were arguably every staff member's favorite.
Putting everything else aside, just for the sake of the generous commission, she wouldn't begrudge a few words of blessing.
What's more, this was the truth.
"Please follow me. I will open the door to the main hall for you."
Generally speaking, those who successfully complete Cailian Method cultivation will go to the main hall to enjoy the admiring gazes of others.
"No need, I'll just leave through the back door."
Zhang Yunlu refused. Leaving through the back door would be a bit faster.
She wasn't interested in such things. Right now, she just wanted to return as quickly as possible, enter the trial space, spar with different Cultivators, and accumulate experience.
"Then... please come this way."
............
Near the city center plaza, there was a famous mushroom hotpot restaurant.
The restaurant was full of people. Looking around, not a single guest's cultivation stage was lower than Foundation Establishment.
The main reason was that the mushrooms used in this restaurant were all spiritual materials. While their taste was exceptionally delicious, for small Qi Training stage Cultivators, they were no different from potent poison.
Restaurants with such cultivation stage requirements were everywhere on the Central Continent. They had existed since ancient times, and Foundation Establishment was considered quite low.
Xu Xing and Chi Jiuyu sat at a window seat. Between them was a pot of mushroom hotpot that had just started boiling not long ago. Chi Jiuyu held a bowl and chopsticks, eating heartily.
As a 'great Cultivator' at the peak Yuanying Stage, let alone not being fully cooked, she would be fine even eating it raw!
But guests at slightly lower stages weren't so lucky. If the cooking time wasn't up, they wouldn't be given utensils at all. And if a guest was found trying to sneak a bite, they would be immediately stopped, then kicked out and blacklisted.
Just then, three figures gracefully stepped into the restaurant, instantly attracting everyone's attention. The previously noisy conversations inside gradually died down, and everyone's gaze focused on the three women.
Each of them had a charming appearance and a distinct style.
One was wearing a tight-fitting crop top and denim shorts, with a baseball cap, revealing a slender waist and long, fair legs.
Another was dressed like Jiang Yujiu was back then, in a long purple palace dress, looking dignified and elegant.
The last person wore a white shirt on top, with a short skirt and black stockings on the bottom. She was tall and wore gold-rimmed glasses.
Hehuan Sect Charm Cultivatorss!
Three people, three different styles.
They were talking and laughing, and just standing together was a pleasure to behold, attracting the attention of most of the guests in the restaurant.
"???"
Chi Jiuyu was momentarily stunned. Why were there so many Hehuan Sect members showing up? Wasn't Xuanjian City just a remote small city?
But soon, she had a sudden realization.
That's right!
It's the trial that Shishu set up! These idiots are here to ride the coattails of the popularity!
That Jiang Yujiu had the title of 'Trial Rank 33' today, and the number of people watching her live stream more than doubled. It would be strange if these Hehuan Sect members weren't envious!
Thinking this, she looked up at Xu Xing and found that he wasn't looking at those Charm Cultivatorss like the others.
"What are you looking at me for?"
"Erm... Shishu, will your trial also pull in Cultivators who arrive later?"
"No."
In fact, it wasn't just the Hehuan Sect's Charm Cultivators; Cultivators from other sects were also rushing to Xuanjian City. It was just that the Hehuan Sect was more skilled in this area now.
It was like when opportunities appeared in ancient times, and Cultivators from all paths came upon hearing the news to compete for them.
Unfortunately, Xu Xing would not give a second chance. Missing it meant missing it.
When Chi Jiuyu heard Shishu say this, she finally felt satisfied.
That's good.
If they can't ride the wave of popularity, I'll go back and post something to make them mad!
Thinking of something happy, she ate two more big bowls!
Xu Xing looked out the window.
Recalling what happened this afternoon.
The reason 'He' dared to act against a Combined Dao was not just, as Huo thought, like a cornered dog jumping over a wall or blindly rushing about, but because 'He' truly had the confidence to brainwash that junior Combined Dao from the Supreme Dao Sect.
At that time, when Xu Xing severed the connection, he had tried to trace the cause and effect to pinpoint 'His' existence, but that trace of connection was too weak, so he did not succeed.
Compared to before he went into seclusion, the methods of that peak existence from the Cang Clan were even more hidden, strange, and difficult to detect.
That's why Xu Xing finally transferred it onto Huo.
Firstly, to give the Cang Clan a 'surprise'.
Secondly, it was to warn Huo, so that he wouldn't accidentally be schemed against in turn.
