When she woke up the next morning, Mu Yanxi discovered that Shangguan Yun had actually gotten up long ago and was no longer in the room. She hurried to get up and get dressed.
Back when she was at the nascent soul stage, she wouldn’t even sleep, but this room was too comfortable.
Even the bed was made of ten-thousand-year bodhi wood; just lying on the bed and sleeping for one night caused her spirit sense to grow slowly but significantly.
Additionally, Mu Yanxi had learned that this world’s theory regarding immortality cultivation was very different from her previous life.
The interstellar realm believed that immortality cultivation should follow taoism naturalism.
The so-called taoism naturalism meant eating when one wanted to eat and sleeping when one loved to sleep.
Thus, they did not forcibly pursue fasting or sleeplessness like the cultivators of her past life; high-level cultivators would likewise eat and sleep according to their own habits.
Of course, if her past life had also allowed for every meal to consist of spiritual plants and demonic beast meat, and sleeping on ten-thousand-year bodhi wood, Mu Yanxi felt that the cultivators of her past life would have also eaten and slept whenever they pleased.
After getting up, Mu Yanxi inspected her Elixir Field and discovered she had actually broken through again. She was now at Qi Refining Level 16.
This must have been the result of Shangguan Yun helping her power-level all night. Now, Sword Qi surged wildly within her Dantian Qi Sea.
Breaking through three levels of the Qi Refining stage in less than one day made Mu Yanxi, who had once undergone the Hundred Day Foundation Establishment, feel ashamed.
During her Hundred Day Foundation Establishment, she had averaged one level every ten days, and the final three levels were skipped directly using Foundation Establishment Pills.
The difficulty after Level 13 was incomparable; she was currently equivalent to breaking through from the early foundation establishment stage to the middle stage three times in a single day.
“Where did Shangguan Yun go?” After getting dressed, Mu Yanxi walked out of the dormitory and saw Bai Ting sitting at the table again, tinkering with her mechanical beast.
Seeing Mu Yanxi come out of the bedroom, she greeted her. Mu Yanxi asked her, “Bai Ting, have you seen Shangguan Yun?”
“Her? She’s practicing swordsmanship in the back garden with my study partner. You can find them over there,” Bai Ting said with little interest, lowering her head to continue tinkering with her mechanism.
“Thank you,” Mu Yanxi said in appreciation. Bai Ting’s double cultivation partner should be that brown-haired girl named Yu Qiuyu, who also looked like a young lady from a well-to-do family.
Mu Yanxi walked toward the back door. Before she even opened it, she heard the sound of two swords clashing, and the frequency was incredibly dense.
Opening the door, she indeed saw two figures dancing with their swords, countless sparks flying from the collision of sword shadows between them.
Sword Qi surged all around, and any fallen leaves drifting by would be sliced into several pieces. However, the trees in the back garden seemed to be protected by a boundary formation.
Although the Sword Qi sparked upon hitting them, it could not harm a single blade of grass or flower. Only the falling leaves and petals were unprotected and would be instantly pulverized.
Just as Mu Yanxi stepped out, a stray strand of Sword Qi shot toward her face.
Mu Yanxi raised a finger, and her fingertip turned into a splash of water that blocked the Sword Qi. The sharp sword light slowly dissolved within the ripples.
Mu Yanxi looked up. The girl wearing a short white qipao and holding a white jade sword was naturally Shangguan Yun.
The brown-haired girl across from her was not wearing a qipao, but a dark green gauze dress like that of a swordswoman, holding an ink-black broadsword.
It was a pure black like the night sky, and the blade was extremely heavy.
This was naturally Yu Qiuyu. Her swordsmanship was not in the least bit weaker than Shangguan Yun’s.
Not only was her draw speed incredibly fast, handling the heavy weapon as if it were light, but the power of her Sword Qi was also nothing to sneeze at.
Both sides traded blows back and forth, unable to determine a victor for the moment. The contrast between the ink-black and white jade longswords was extremely striking.
