The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

Yue Zhao sensed something unusual, hardly believing it. He turned to Lin Ya for confirmation.

Lin Ya, somewhat dazed, said, “Your Little Junior Sister… she’s broken through to Foundation Establishment.”

Moreover, her aura wasn’t unstable. The foundation of her cultivation was solid, her energy steady, indicating she had fully consolidated her realm.

“So fast…” Everyone at Celestial Sword Peak was stunned.

Yue Zhao tried to recall how long it took him to reach Foundation Establishment. It was about three years, which was considered impressive within the sect.

Second and Third Senior Sister and Brother had taken similar amounts of time. They were all considered exceptionally talented.

But now…

At the last moment, Master had taken on a new disciple.

In less than ten days, she had leaped from a mortal to Foundation Establishment, crossing an entire major realm.

Such a feat…

Apart from the top prodigies of the Four Great Holy Lands, now their Little Junior Sister had accomplished it too!

Inside the bamboo house.

Yun Jin contentedly felt the power of Foundation Establishment coursing through her.

Having traversed countless worlds, she had experienced not just Foundation Establishment, but even the power of immortals and gods.

For her, there was no issue of being unable to control the power due to advancing too quickly.

The power of Foundation Establishment was like a former Ph.D. student being reborn and learning basic addition—it was child’s play.

“Host has broken through to Foundation Establishment,” the system’s prompt sounded. “Please confirm whether to change cultivation techniques. If changing, please learn the new technique quickly. If not, you can use thirty simplification chances to upgrade the Xuan Formula to Foundation Establishment level.”

Yun Jin narrowed her eyes, considering the two options.

She asked, “If I choose to upgrade the Xuan Formula, will the current cultivation method change?”

“If upgrading the Xuan Formula, the original cultivation method will continue. Spiritual energy can be absorbed by consuming food.”

Yun Jin pondered quickly.

The Xuan Formula was typically used only for testing disciples. Most disciples would change techniques after formally joining the sect.

The reason was simple.

This technique was too balanced.

It absorbed the five elemental spiritual energies simultaneously.

Except for waste Five Element Roots like Yun Jin, other disciples had no use for all five elements. Using the Xuan Formula would result in inefficient cultivation.

For those with Single or Dual Element Roots, it was best to choose techniques that matched their attributes.

But for Yun Jin…

She had a Five Element Root. The Xuan Formula’s indiscriminate absorption of five types of spiritual energy was perfect for her.

On the other hand, the Xuan Formula’s weakness was its poor efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy, making advancement difficult.

But Yun Jin had the system.

The setting that converted food into spiritual energy directly compensated for this flaw.

After careful consideration.

This test-use Xuan Formula was actually the best choice for her.

“Upgrade the Xuan Formula,” Yun Jin said without hesitation.

The system received the command and began operating.

A large book suddenly appeared before Yun Jin.

The book slowly rotated, pouring endless information into Yun Jin’s mind.

This information constantly reorganized and dispersed, finally condensing into a palm-sized book.

The book transformed into a stream of light and entered Yun Jin’s mind.

Yun Jin closed her eyes, feeling it for a moment, then opened them.

The Foundation Establishment level Xuan Formula was complete.

Not only that.

She noticed.

The Xuan Formula, initially a low-level Yellow-grade cultivation technique, had now advanced to a high-level Yellow-grade after this upgrade.

At this rate, when she broke through to Golden Core, this technique might advance to Mystic-grade.

If she continued to stack simplification chances…

This once humble Xuan Formula might one day even become… a Heaven-grade technique!

Yun Jin’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

She still had over two hundred simplification chances left, which seemed like a lot, but they were about to be quickly depleted.

First were two types of pills: the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Restoration Pill.

Both were second-grade pills, useful whether for personal consumption or sale.

When Yun Jin had simplified the Jade Spirit Pill before, it took about ten chances to reach a satisfactory result.

This time.

For both the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Restoration Pill, she used about fifty chances each before reaching the most satisfactory simplification.

Yun Jin figured that in a few days, it would be time to visit the market again and advance to a second-grade alchemist.

By then, with a couple more items to trade, Eldest Senior Brother would surely be able to earn even more spirit stones with his abilities.

Most importantly, this round of showing off in public would replenish some emotional value.

Yun Jin looked at her remaining hundred-plus simplification chances with some distress.

She had worked so hard to show off these past few days, painstakingly accumulating emotional value, only to see it potentially wiped out in one go.

But there was no choice.

Necessary expenses were necessary!

Yun Jin took a deep breath. “Blue Lotus Sword Technique! Simplify!”

She had to master this Blue Lotus Sword Technique, even if it meant using up all her simplification chances.

Yun Jin first tried ten times.

The simplification effect wasn’t obvious.

So she continued.

Until she had used a hundred simplification chances.

Yun Jin paused briefly.

“Blue Lotus Sword Technique preliminary condition: Master ten sword intents.”

Only this condition remained, and the method of acquiring sword intent had also been simplified.

“Sword intent acquisition method: Cultivate a sword technique to proficiency level to automatically gain its sword intent. Host currently possesses sword intents: Void-Breaking Sword Intent, Lotus Sword Intent.”

Typically.

For a sword technique, the first level was preliminary-level, and the second level was proficiency.

Yun Jin’s Void-Breaking Sword Technique and Lotus Sword Technique were both at the second level of proficiency. After this simplification, she had directly mastered the sword intents of these two techniques. It wasn’t just surface-level mastery, but a true understanding of their essence, albeit at an initial level.

Yun Jin’s eyes lit up. Sword intent wasn’t exclusive to Mystic-grade sword techniques; Yellow-grade techniques had them too.

She still had five Yellow-grade sword techniques! If she watched her senior brothers practice, wouldn’t she easily master their sword intents?

That would make seven sword intents!

Then, she just needed to find three more Yellow-grade sword techniques and quickly cultivate them to the second level.

That would fulfill the cultivation requirements.

It shouldn’t be difficult for her.

A brilliant smile spread across Yun Jin’s face.

Blue Lotus Sword Technique!

Here I come!

After smiling for a while, Yun Jin looked at the system panel.

Her smile faded.

Although she had mentally prepared herself, seeing only twenty-some simplification chances left made her heart ache.

So everyone could see.

It wasn’t that she enjoyed showing off in public.

It was the pressures of life!

Well then, with the spirit of a hard worker, it was time for her to continue working for emotional value.

With this mindset of going to work, Yun Jin left her room with a troubled expression.

At the door.

Several pairs of eyes stared at her in unison.
