Chapter 9: Reconstructing Spiritual Meridians
After hearing the system’s explanation, Su Lingxi understood the reason for the quest.
If she obtained the Ice Heart Jade Dew Pill and consumed it, purifying the residual power of the Scorching Sun Heavenly Poison, her cultivation would likely rise to another level.
Su Lingxi looked back at the quest to obtain the Ice Heart Jade Dew Pill and noticed the clue about the Snowfall Sect.
Su Lingxi knew of this Snowfall Sect. It was a sect that primarily cultivated ice-type spiritual energy, and it was located right in the extreme northern domain.
“It seems that to get the Ice Heart Jade Dew Pill, I’ll have to make a trip to the Snowfall Sect.”
Su Lingxi sorted through her thoughts. Although she didn’t know what opportunities she would find at the Snowfall Sect, following the system’s guidance was definitely the right move.
**
Outside her consciousness, Su Lingxi slowly opened her eyes. A gentle sensation spread from her limbs.
“Master… you’re awake…”
Su Yuebai sat by the edge of the stone bed, her long, ink-black hair cascading down her back. A white, light gauze clung to her body, outlining her graceful and alluring curves.
Su Lingxi nodded and tried to get up. The moment her feet touched the ground, it felt like stepping on cotton, and her legs gave way.
With quick reflexes, Su Yuebai caught Su Lingxi in her arms, her beautiful eyes filled with an unprecedented tenderness. “Master should rest a while longer. I think… Master might not be able to get out of bed for a few days…”
An imperceptible blush crept onto Su Lingxi’s cheeks. She naturally understood what Su Yuebai meant.
Hiss… I didn’t expect my disciple to be so… energetic…
Right now, Su Lingxi was resting her head on Su Yuebai’s lap, feeling incredibly comfortable. Su Yuebai began to massage her.
“Yuebai, are you alright now?”
The two were silent for a while before Su Lingxi finally broke the deadlock.
Su Yuebai nodded, then walked to the open space in front of Su Lingxi and twirled around. “Master doesn’t need to worry. I’m fine.”
“And my skin is much smoother and more hydrated than before. Does Master want to take a closer look?”
Su Yuebai blinked, her heart hoping Su Lingxi would take the bait.
Just as Su Yuebai had hoped, Su Lingxi’s heart was completely unguarded.
“Really? It does seem a little!”
Hearing this, Su Yuebai immediately sat down next to Su Lingxi, making it easier for her to see up close.
“It really is…”
This was the first time Su Lingxi had looked at a girl’s face from such a close distance. She had to admit, the change in Su Yuebai’s skin was indeed significant.
In truth, what Su Lingxi didn’t know was that she herself had also changed a great deal.
Before, she had been a queenly figure who looked down on the world. Now, her every move carried an extra touch of charm. This feeling ignited a fire in Su Yuebai’s heart.
“Master, you’re too far away to see clearly. Come a little closer~”
Su Yuebai boldly cupped Su Lingxi’s face, then bent her jade-like arm to wrap around Su Lingxi’s neck.
The distance between their lips was less than a centimeter, and warm breath caressed Su Lingxi’s face.
Too close, too close… Su Lingxi felt like her body was about to start smoking.
Su Yuebai closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling. The next second, their lips met in a heavy kiss.
Their fingers intertwined, preventing Su Lingxi from easily escaping. Only when Su Lingxi felt a hint of suffocation did Su Yuebai release her.
Su Lingxi was dazed by Su Yuebai’s kiss, her body uncontrollably going limp against Su Yuebai.
The moment Su Lingxi collapsed, the space around her instantly distorted.
Wisps of visible worldly spiritual energy converged within her body. Su Yuebai was stunned, not knowing what was happening to Su Lingxi.
This state lasted for a long time, a full four hours. At this moment, Su Lingxi had entered a state of meditation.
Although Su Yuebai didn’t know what was going on, she knew it was definitely beneficial for Su Lingxi.
Because this state was extremely similar to the gathering of worldly spiritual energy during a cultivation breakthrough, except the spiritual energy Su Lingxi was currently gathering was incredibly dense.
Though surprised, Su Yuebai also knew that Su Lingxi possessed the Exquisite Body, so any strange phenomenon could be explained.
It couldn’t be that I unlocked something just by kissing her, right?
During this time, Su Lingxi’s complexion visibly recovered, and a feeling of fullness emanated from within her body.
It felt as if something she had lost had returned.
Suddenly, a powerful vortex appeared in Su Lingxi’s dantian. The worldly spiritual energy, as if guided, was all sucked into the vortex.
Su Yuebai’s expression was one of excitement. This was clearly the precursor to a cultivator stepping onto the path of cultivation.
It meant that Master could embark on the path of cultivation once again!
Another four hours passed. Su Lingxi let out a heavy breath of turbid air, marveling at the changes in her body.
“I can’t believe I not only recovered my cultivation but also directly entered the peak of Foundation Establishment.”
Even if she were to encounter that Master Wang again, with her current cultivation, Su Lingxi could pin him to the ground and wipe the floor with him.
Although the peak of Foundation Establishment wasn’t very high, Su Lingxi understood that she had to take things one step at a time and not rush.
Having cultivation for the first time, Su Lingxi found it a bit difficult to control the spiritual energy in her body. With a gentle flick of her jade-like hand, she sent the somewhat rampant spiritual energy outwards.
The spiritual energy flowed through her meridians and into her limbs. Instantly, just like Su Yuebai before, Su Lingxi’s spiritual meridians resonated.
Four rhythmic fluctuations of spiritual energy manifested on Su Lingxi’s body. Su Yuebai clearly noticed the change in her as well.
Then, her mouth fell open involuntarily as she murmured, “Four spirit gates… Master actually has four spirit gates too…”
“No, that’s not right. Master was so powerful before, having four spirit gates is very normal!”
This state didn’t last long. After guiding the spiritual energy through several cycles, Su Lingxi felt her power become gentler.
After it was all over, Su Lingxi stretched comfortably. With her strength restored, she no longer felt so cold in this world of ice and snow.
“See? I didn’t lie to you, did I?” The system’s smug voice sounded in Su Lingxi’s mind.
“Mhm, so, where’s my novice gift package?”
“I’ll give it to you in a few days!”
