Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

At this moment, the Sect Leader’s mind was entirely captivated by that thread of heat energy.

After the heat energy emerged from the meridians and the dantian, it merely circulated around the forehead once, and the intense burning pain there weakened somewhat.

Moreover, in her perception, it had already significantly weakened.

It was just that for all of today, her thoughts had been elsewhere, so she hadn’t paid much attention to the condition within her body.

It was indeed alleviated and healed, but... extremely weakly.

If it weren’t for Liu Zixiao mentioning the injury earlier, her subconscious sensing might not have discovered it.

Because the heat energy itself was barely perceptible, just a single thread, even finer than a silk thread.

Not only that.

After circulating around the forehead once, the heat energy then flowed throughout the entire body, and since she had been perceiving constantly, the Sect Leader naturally noticed the changes in her physique.

The physique was improving, in other words... the root bone was being enhanced!

”How did this come about?!”

In the Sect Leader’s eyes was sheer shock, and she even forgot that Liu Zixiao was still present.

She pondered deeply.

It seems, perhaps...

It was during the second earthquake.

And at that time, something happened...

Something.

That incident left an extremely deep impression on her, something she could never forget.

Apparently...

The warm current was obtained at that time!

How could this be?!

How could it be obtained in such an absurd manner?!

She instinctively refused to believe such a ridiculous affair.

However, she suddenly recalled her younger sister, Su Xiyue, who seemed to always have a hoarse throat during that period.

At that time, the Sect Leader thought it was because of... the speaking.

Thinking about it now, that might not be the case.

!!!

Originally, she thought it impossible, but when she went to see Leng Ruyu that time, she also noticed that the Demon Sect’s little demoness seemed...

Perhaps this was the case, indeed!

Unknowingly, the Sect Leader suddenly felt a bit of heartache for her younger sister.

For the sake of the Immortal Sect, her sister sacrificed too much!

Regardless, if it were her, she certainly wouldn’t accept it!

She didn’t want any healing, nor any enhancement of her root bone!

She didn’t want anything!

She would live in solitude in the Cyan Mountain Sect till her dying day.

”Sect Leader, Sect Leader...”

Liu Zixiao saw she was lost in thought, calling her repeatedly, even walking forward and waving a hand in front of her eyes, bringing the Sect Leader back to her senses.

”What are you doing?!”

The Sect Leader immediately regarded her with vigilance.

Clearly, she no longer had any trust in this surface sister.

”Sect Leader, what’s wrong with you?”

Liu Zixiao was very puzzled.

Why was she dazing without rhyme or reason?

Could it be that something did happen to these two people in the hot spring courtyard?!

Clearly, nothing could be learned from the Sect Leader here, so she planned to inquire that rebellious disciple later.

”Nothing!”

The Sect Leader walked to the soft couch beside the bed and sat down, yet when looking at this good sister again, her eyes took on some strangeness.

Liu Zixiao’s injuries healed, and her root bone elevated from an upper-grade spirit bone to a top-grade one.

Clearly acquired a substantial amount of... warm current!

It looked difficult, no wonder she seemed so exhausted every time she exited the Alchemy Room, and talking was so challenging for her.

So that’s how it is!

Based on these testimonies, the Sect Leader felt she had obtained the entire truth and deeply agreed!

Ha!

To heal, to enhance the root bone, she did those things to her disciple.

Being looked upon with such strange eyes, Liu Zixiao was utterly mystified.

What’s wrong with this good sister?

Could it be that over-stimulation led to...

Some issue?

She regretted it a bit.

She shouldn’t have... trapped her good sister like this.

Even if the intention was good.

”Xihe...”

Liu Zixiao suddenly wore a serious face, ”I was wrong, going forward... I won’t do this again.”

”???”

The Sect Leader initially thought she would continue teasing, completely not anticipating her taking the initiative to admit fault.

The two of them tricking each other wasn’t anything new.

Take the Flying Ship, for example, wasn’t it specially arranged by her?

Liu Zixiao didn’t leave, and her attitude was extremely humble, but the Sect Leader always felt something was amiss.

Could it be... trying to take advantage by lowering her guard?

Don’t even think about it!

She would never let that rebellious disciple succeed again!

Once again, the two of them chatted on and off like this, mostly Liu Zixiao talking, while the Sect Leader merely hummed slightly.

Full of alerts.

She didn’t even close her eyes, as if fearing Qin Yu would abruptly break in.

Damn!

As a master, unable to even suppress her own disciple.

If, if she could possess a Dao Bone, breakthrough to the Lotus Platform, she would surely teach that rebellious disciple a good lesson then!

However.

If she wanted to improve her root bone, she needed a large amount of warm current.

The next day.

When Qin Yu came, she didn’t see the Sect Leader.

Surprisingly.

Liu Zixiao’s mood seemed quite low.

Could it be that something happened to the Sect Leader?

So she asked, ”Master, what’s wrong?”

”Nothing.”

Liu Zixiao sighed, looking at Qin Yu, hesitated for a moment, but still asked, ”You... did you offend the Sect Leader?”

”No.”

After Qin Yu replied, she paused briefly.

Perhaps, from a certain perspective, it might count as... disrespecting her master.

But, neither the Lifebound Divine Technique nor the Lifebound Divine Sword was enhanced, clearly not a genuine disobedience.

”That’s good.”

Liu Zixiao even exhaled with relief.

Since nothing happened, the guilt in her heart somewhat diminished.

Feeling her low spirits, Qin Yu sighed quietly inside, approached gently, and embraced her Liu master.

...

After Liu Zixiao left, the Sect Leader sensed the two of them went into the Alchemy Room one by one.

While slightly relaxing, yet not knowing what image she associated with, made her shiver involuntarily, curled up on the bed, kicking the bedding into wrinkles.

Soon it was noon.

The Sect Leader’s emotions gradually settled down, even perceiving the thread of warm current within her body.

The injury was alleviated and slightly healed.

Root bone... hardly changed.

Not to mention the Dao Bone, even a top-grade spirit bone was far off.

A bit lacking.

Unwittingly, the Sect Leader even felt some regret, as if...

She wasted a bit.

”Hmph, I don’t want it!”

She stomped the bedding in a fit of pique.

Gradually.

Lying there became boring.

Cultivation seemed useless, an upper-grade spirit bone, it was impossible to break through to the Lotus Platform.

Regarding healing... the existing resources might not be as effective as that thread of warm current.

Let’s look at the storybook to pass the time.

Opening the storybook, she saw an illustration.

It’s an illustration of the older sister bathing in the storybook.

Supposedly taking a bath, actually with the intent of seducing her brother-in-law.

”Ah, how shameful for an older sister to seduce her brother-in-law!”
