The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

At Celestial Sword Peak, Lin Ya watched as golden light once again emanated from Yun Jin’s cottage. Startled, he hastily set up an array in the air to envelop her dwelling.

The radiance was instantly absorbed by the formation, vanishing from sight.

Lin Ya observed for a while, feeling somewhat helpless.

What manner of divine being was this newly accepted disciple of his?

As he pondered, Lin Ya felt sleep would elude him.

His gaze drifted to his wine gourd.

Well, since sleep was out of the question, why not drink the night away?

He’d blame this one on Yun Jin!

Having found an excuse, Lin Ya’s conscience was immediately at ease.

In the market’s Alchemy Pavilion, late at night.

Ming Heng suddenly sat bolt upright in bed.

He slapped himself.

Could pill refining truly be done this way?

Earlier, to stabilize morale, he had spouted some nonsense to pacify the young pharmacists.

But now.

He couldn’t resist any longer.

He had to try it himself!

At this hour, everyone else should be resting.

Ming Heng stealthily made his way to the refining room.

To perfectly recreate the conditions, he used the first-grade furnace from the assessment.

Jade Spirit Grass, Cleansing Spirit Liquid, everything was prepared.

Recalling Yun Jin’s method, he selected Jade Spirit Grass with similar spiritual energy, then without any processing, tossed it directly into the furnace.

Next, he casually poured in the Cleansing Spirit Liquid.

As for controlling the heat.

He completely disregarded it.

In half an hour, he should have a bottle of perfect quality Jade Spirit Pills!

As Ming Heng was thinking this.

Suddenly.

His expression changed, and he hastily slapped several talismans on the furnace, instantly enveloping himself in spiritual energy.

The next moment.

With a puff.

The pills inside exploded.

Although he had prepared in advance, saving the furnace, Ming Heng’s face instantly darkened.

Where had he gone wrong?

Why could that little girl succeed when he failed so miserably?

Ming Heng pondered, then suddenly smacked his forehead.

He remembered he had missed a crucial step!

Starting over from scratch.

This time, after adding the Jade Spirit Grass and Cleansing Spirit Liquid, he sat down and quickly produced a bag of melon seeds.

Right.

The little girl had eaten melon seeds. This might be the essence of this refining method. To replicate it, he must replicate it perfectly!

Whether by coincidence or something else.

This time, the furnace didn’t immediately explode.

Ming Heng’s eyes lit up. Could eating melon seeds truly have some magical effect?

He began munching more enthusiastically.

Suddenly.

The sound of the refining room door opening reached his ears.

“Shh, quiet. Master Ming told us not to try this rashly.”

“If Master Ming catches us, we might get kicked out.”

Several pharmacists, carrying Jade Spirit Grass and Cleansing Spirit Liquid, sneaked in furtively.

Then they looked up.

And saw Ming Heng eating melon seeds.

The two groups stared at each other for a moment.

Puff.

The pills exploded once again, providing a soundtrack to their encounter.

Ming Heng stood up, saying calmly, “I couldn’t sleep and came to practice pill refining on a whim.”

The group nodded repeatedly, eyeing the Jade Spirit Grass beside Ming Heng.

After all, he might not be refining Jade Spirit Pills.

Ming Heng’s face hardened, “Enough, don’t disturb my refining. You may leave.”

The disciples hurriedly complied.

As soon as they left, Ming Heng immediately locked the door.

He began pondering again.

This attempt had failed too.

What was the reason?

Perhaps his melon seed eating posture was wrong? Should he cross his legs?

As Ming Heng repeatedly questioned his life choices, Yun Jin had already refined three batches of Jade Spirit Pills.

Thirty Jade Spirit Pills.

Plus three Foundation Establishment Pills.

This time, she was determined to break through to Foundation Establishment in one go!

She wouldn’t emerge until she succeeded!

As the first Jade Spirit Pill went down, spiritual energy surged within her.

Yun Jin hastily absorbed it.

Her perfect quality Jade Spirit Pills contained ten times the spiritual energy of ordinary ones, but they were still just first-grade pills, and she was already close to Foundation Establishment.

Her spiritual energy advanced a step but didn’t reach the tenth level.

Yun Jin continued taking the pills.

After consuming five, her spiritual energy directly reached the tenth level of Qi Condensation.

The tenth level was the peak of Qi Condensation; the next step would be Foundation Establishment.

Yun Jin consumed the pills one by one.

After finishing all thirty, her spiritual energy was very close to the Qi Condensation limit.

Yun Jin decisively took a Foundation Establishment Pill.

These pills were rare; even Chen Hao, after years of effort, had only saved three for himself.

But Yun Jin wasn’t worried about this. She had obtained the formula and could refine them herself as long as she had the herbs.

These few Foundation Establishment Pills weren’t so precious to her. As the first pill entered her stomach, it immediately transformed into potent medicinal power, sweeping through her entire body.

This second-grade pill was indeed much more powerful than first-grade ones.

Yun Jin’s spiritual energy, originally a hair’s breadth from the peak, instantly reached it after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The pill’s power continued to spread.

Yun Jin sensed she could handle more and immediately took a second pill.

This time.

The medicinal power at the Qi Condensation peak began to slowly condense. When it reached a certain degree, suddenly a strand of spiritual energy began slowly liquefying. This process was very slow but continuous.

There were no shortcuts for this step. Yun Jin patiently refined the Foundation Establishment Pill bit by bit.

At Celestial Sword Peak.

Yun Jin had been in seclusion for three days and nights.

If Lin Ya hadn’t constantly sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy inside, he might have broken in to check on her.

“Master, what exactly is Little Junior Sister cultivating?” Si Wanning asked worriedly.

Lin Ya wanted to say something but unconsciously shook his head.

“Master?” Yue Zhao was also puzzled.

Lin Ya said with some confliction, “Little Jin’s spiritual energy was about to break through to the tenth level before her seclusion. She’s been cultivating all this time. I wonder, is she planning to break through to Foundation Establishment?”

Break through to Foundation Establishment?

Yue Zhao was bewildered.

How was this possible so soon after Little Junior Sister joined?

To break through to Foundation Establishment, spiritual energy needed to reach the Qi Condensation peak, that was one aspect.

More importantly, the soul realm also needed to advance to Foundation Establishment.

Only the four great holy lands had special techniques for raising soul realms. Disciples of middle-tier sects like theirs could only temper themselves and wait for their soul realms to slowly improve.

To break through to Foundation Establishment, both spiritual energy and soul realm were indispensable.

Regarding spiritual energy, Yue Zhao wasn’t worried. Yun Jin was exceptionally talented, and with her pill refining skills, breaking through should be easy.

But the soul realm…

Had she broken through that as well?

This seemed rather unscientific!

“I also think it’s unlikely,” Lin Ya said, somewhat dazed. “But I can’t think of any other explanation at the moment.”

Yun Jin’s commotion clearly indicated a breakthrough!

“Let’s wait a bit longer. It’s been three days now; Little Junior Sister should emerge soon.”

As Si Wanning was speaking.

Suddenly.

The surging spiritual energy abruptly calmed, apparently fully absorbed.

Lin Ya’s pupils suddenly constricted.

He instinctively probed, then his expression became very interesting.

Foundation… Foundation Establishment…

Yun Jin had actually…

Truly broken through!
