“You guessed right. This is why the female cultivators trained by the Spiritual Moon Palace are in such high demand.”
“As long as there are female cultivators who follow different Great Ways but all know the Lingyue Art, they can power-level different cultivation methods simultaneously without delaying their own cultivation,” Shangguan Yun laughed.
This explained why the Spiritual Moon Sect would recruit someone like Bai Ting, a Mo cultivator, and even poach a physical cultivator like Shi Yuzhi.
The advantages of the Lingyue Art required well-rounded talent. During the introduction, Headmaster Mo had clearly stated that the Spiritual Moon Sect aimed to train service-oriented talent for immortality cultivation.
Mu Yanxi had no interest in serving others, but she couldn’t help but marvel at the clever positioning of female cultivators by the Spiritual Moon Palace.
No wonder the Lingyue Art was treated as an inherited cultivation method and forbidden from being spread; it was their core competitiveness.
On the path of cultivation, innate talent was often more important than realm or experience.
Coupled with the different Great Ways, even low-level female cultivators could assist high-level cultivators in power-leveling.
This allowed them to continuously provide value through double cultivation without fear of being abandoned.
Conversely, only powerful or wealthy high-level cultivators could afford to support several female cultivators to help them with double cultivation power-leveling at the same time. This allowed for precise matching with high-quality clients.
“The Lingyue Art isn’t everything the Spiritual Moon Palace has to offer. You’ll understand later; the palace has many more tricks and methods up its sleeve. For now, let’s just go to sleep,” Shangguan Yun said. Her breathing grew steady, and she soon drifted toward sleep.
It seemed she was completely used to helping others circulate their Qi and power-level while simultaneously nurturing her spirit and storing her essence during sleep. She could do both without any issue.
But Mu Yanxi couldn’t do it. With Shangguan Yun hugging her, she could smell the fresh fragrance of her body and feel the warmth of the young girl’s tender frame.
Furthermore, with Shangguan Yun’s hand still resting on her Dantian Qi Sea, Mu Yanxi found it impossible to sleep.
Left with no choice, Mu Yanxi could only focus on her cultivation. She performed internal visualization.
Since she wasn’t soaking in spiritual water, she could only practice the Spirit Snake Skin-Shedding Bone-Changing Art, visualizing a White-scaled great snake that was constantly shedding its skin.
Shangguan Yun was right; her power-leveling didn’t interfere with Mu Yanxi’s own cultivation. Two different cultivation methods were running in her body at the same time.
Part of the spiritual energy surging from the Life Spring was converted into Sword Qi and stored in the Qi Sea, and another part was used to temper her physical body.
The only pity was that after she could no longer share Shangguan Yun’s spiritual root, the small amount of spiritual energy surging from the Life Spring was simply too little.
Actually, when she broke through in the bathroom earlier, Mu Yanxi had absorbed a large amount of spiritual water.
This advanced her Virgin Fairy Bathing Method to layer 2 and also expanded a portion of her Life Spring, allowing more spiritual energy to flow out.
It was precisely because the Virgin Fairy Bathing Method could develop and upgrade the Life Spring that the immortal brain had recommended she practice this cultivation method in the first place.
However, at this rate of expansion, Mu Yanxi felt the input-to-output ratio was skewed. The small amount of spiritual energy emerging felt like trying to extinguish a bonfire with a cup of water.
Even if the Life Spring continuously gushed spiritual energy, she didn’t know how long it would take to see a return on her investment.
Thinking of this, Mu Yanxi missed Shangguan Yun’s sacred spiritual root even more. The speed at which it absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy was like riding a flying sword.
‘It truly is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance back to frugality,’ she thought.
Before school started, she hadn’t felt that the spiritual energy from the Life Spring was too little or too slow while practicing at home.
During the double cultivation in the bathroom earlier, Mu Yanxi had also synchronized and resonated with Shangguan Yun’s other talents.
She discovered that the other girl hadn’t opened a Life Spring. ‘For someone with a dual heaven dual saint spiritual root, a Life Spring is probably completely unnecessary.’
While she mused over these thoughts, Mu Yanxi slowly drifted into the land of dreams.
