Chapter 287: 286, thoughts Chapter 287: 286, thoughts Song Yan Ning had eaten nearly twenty Blue Jade Fruits and felt a series of painful swellings in her body due to the Spiritual Energy. She closed her eyes and circulated her energy several tis until she absorbed all the Spiritual Energy.
After sensing the situation inside her body, Song Yan Ning opened her eyes and continued to eat the Blue Jade Fruits. Currently, the amount of Spiritual Energy she had absorbed was not much, and she wasn’t ready for elixirs yet.
In this repeating cycle, Song Yan Ning felt her body had completely adapted to the presence of Spiritual Energy and took out the dicine Qing Yue had given her, pouring an elixir into her mouth.
The elixir dissolved into streams of Spiritual Liquid as it entered her throat, and Song Yan Ning joyously circulated her cultivation technique, absorbing the unceasing flow of Spiritual Energy and transforming it into her own Spiritual Power.
Early in the morning, Qing Yue arrived at Song Yan Ning’s residence. He knocked on the door, waiting for a response from inside. After giving Junior Sister Ning the elixir, he hadn’t slept well all night, constantly worried whether Junior Sister Ning had taken the elixir.
“Co in,” Song Yan Ning’s voice ca from inside the room.
Qing Yue instantly breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the door, and walked in. He was glad Junior Sister Ning was alright.
Seeing the few remaining Blue Jade Fruits on the table, Qing Yue slightly furrowed his brows, “Junior Sister Ning, did you eat all these Blue Jade Fruits?”
“Mhm,” Song Yan Ning knew that Qing Yue must have co to take back the elixir.
“You don’t feel unwell anywhere, do you?” Qing Yue looked at Song Yan Ning with concern. Having no Spirit Root, ten fruits should have already been her limit.
“No,” Song Yan Ning shook her head.
Surprise flickered in Qing Yue’s eyes as he sat down at the table, “Junior Sister Ning, the elixir I gave you yesterday, can you give it back to now?”
“Mhm,” Song Yan Ning nodded, took out the elixir Qing Yue had given her the day before, and handed it to him. She could now take out the elixirs she had refined herself from the Spiritual Pearl and wouldn’t have to worry about lacking elixirs for her cultivation in the future.
Qing Yue accepted the elixir and scanned the Jade Bottle with his Divine Sense, “Junior Sister Ning, did you take one?”
“Mhm,” Song Yan Ning nodded again.
“You haven’t taken it, have you?” Qing Yue asked, though he imdiately knew the question was sowhat redundant. With Junior Sister Ning’s constitution, had she really taken one, she would probably have already exploded and perished.
“No,” Song Yan Ning shook her head again.
Qing Yue pondered for a mont, “Junior Sister Ning, perhaps you should give that elixir back to .” It wasn’t that he begrudged an elixir, but rather he was concerned she might take it.
“I damaged the elixir and threw it away,” Song Yan Ning casually found an excuse. Even though she was in a virtual world, she didn’t want to reveal that she could cultivate. The Qing Yue in front of her was unfamiliar to her, and she was certain he was not Qin Yushen. There was no need to be too honest with a stranger.
“Then, never mind,” Qing Yue didn’t particularly care about one elixir, “Junior Sister Ning, Senior Brother is going out to train tomorrow. It might be three months before I can return. You must be careful in the sect, and it’s best if you go out less.” Every ti he left, the person he worried about the most was Junior Sister Ning. Just like this ti – had he co back later, Junior Sister Ning might already have been killed. In this world, without power, one is nothing but an ant to be slaughtered at will.
“Mhm,” Song Yan Ning nodded. Even in a virtual world, she was not soone to be trifled with.
After talking for a while and giving several reminders, Qing Yue got up and left.
Song Yan Ning stepped out of the bamboo hut and headed toward the direction of the dicinal fields. She was going to inspect the Yunshan Sect’s dicinal fields, and based on her years of experience in the Emperor Realm, she knew that not everything in the virtual world was illusory; many things could be taken out of the Emperor Realm.
Throughout her journey, Song Yan Ning didn’t encounter anyone, and she arrived at the dicinal fields without incident.
Gazing upon the endless fields and inhaling the refreshing fragrance of the herbs, a contented smile curled up the corners of Song Yan Ning’s lips.
As she entered the fields, Song Yan Ning did not hesitate to sweep up any herbs that caught her eye into her Spiritual Pearl. Seeing that the Spirit Grass did not disappear after being stored in the Spiritual Pearl, Song Yan Ning’s heart swelled with joy. This confird that the Spirit Grass was indeed real. She was becoming ever more certain of her suspicions—there were indeed cultivators in the Emperor Realm.
“Senior Sister Liu, are we expecting guests at our Yunshan Sect?” A cheerful voice drifted in from outside the fields.
“I’m not sure. We should go in and pick so Spirit Grass. The sect is going to have the disciples’ competition soon. We should focus on whether we can pass it, since I heard that the last-ranking disciple will be expelled from the sect.”
“I’m not worried at all. The last place will definitely be that waste, Song Ning.”
“Don’t be so complacent. That ‘waste’ is watched over by Senior Brother Qingyue; otherwise, do you think she would still be here?”
The voices gradually faded away, and Song Yan Ning smiled faintly to herself and continued to collect the Spirit Grass.
“Junior Sister Ning, where have you been?” Seeing Song Yan Ning’s return, Xue Qi greeted her with a smile. She had been waiting here for a long ti. If it weren’t for the fact that the effectiveness of a particular dicine would halve if not reaped for a day, she wouldn’t bother with keeping an eye on that ‘waste’.
“I went for a walk. Is there sothing you need from , Senior Sister Xue Qi?” Song Yan Ning glanced at the dicine Xue Qi was holding and knew already what was going on.
“Nothing really, I’m just here to deliver your dicine.” Xue Qi stepped forward, presenting the dicine to Song Yan Ning. She had to see for herself that Song Ning swallowed the dicine. She felt uneasy since she hadn’t personally witnessed Song Ning take her dicine yesterday.
“Thank you, Senior Sister Xue Qi.” Song Yan Ning took the bowl and tilted her head back to drink it down in one gulp.
As she saw Song Yan Ning swallow the dicine, Xue Qi’s lips curved into a triumphant, cold smirk. Once this ‘waste’ was dead, her mission would be completed, and she could receive the generous points and rewards. After accomplishing the task, she could see Brother Yushen, who would surely be delighted with her.
“Senior Sister Xue Qi,” Song Yan Ning handed the bowl back to Xue Qi.
Xue Qi accepted the bowl with a smile, “You haven’t recovered yet, go and rest. If you need anything, co and find .”
“Okay,” Song Yan Ning nodded.
Watching Xue Qi’s retreating figure, Song Yan Ning’s eyes brimd with coldness. She didn’t know why Xue Qi wanted to kill her, but since she was her enemy, she naturally wouldn’t let her off.
Shifting her gaze away, Song Yan Ning stepped inside the house and closed the door. What she needed to do now was to improve her own strength. In either the real or the virtual world, only by becoming stronger could she take the initiative.
Taking out an elixir, she placed it in her mouth and entered a state of cultivation.
“Senior Sister Xue Qi, you’ve delivered dicine to that ‘waste’ again?” Qing He eyed the dicine bowl in Xue Qi’s hands, sure that she had visited Song Ning again. She really couldn’t fathom why both Senior Sister Xue Qi and Senior Brother Qingyue looked after that wastrel, Song Ning.
“Yes.” Xue Qi nodded with a faint smile. If it weren’t for the sake of completing her task, she would never bother herself with that ‘waste’.
