Chapter 9 Resume Cultivation

Looking at Duanmu Xi's excited face, Lanze curled up the corner of its lips.

"This is water spiritual fruit, which can repair your meridians."

This was really the legendary spiritual fruit. It turned out that Lanze was the ancient mythical creature guarding the water spiritual fruit. What a blessing in disguise!

Duanmu Xi slowly swallowed the water spiritual fruit, which just melted in her mouth. She instantly felt as if a stream of spring water flowed into her mouth. Instantly, the sweetness just flowed into her internal organs and meridians. Every pore of hers felt so good like being filled with water.

She could clearly feel that her broken meridians were being repaired and that even her internal injury was healing bit by bit.

After a while, Duanmu Xi was sparkling with increasingly dazzling blue light, which was the special splendor of the water spiritual master.

With the constantly sparkling blue light on Duanmu Xi's body, she became the Spiritual King before coming to this world. Although she was not the Omni Spiritual King, it was exciting enough. She felt so good to regain the power.

Lanze was delighted to stare at Duanmu Xi who became the Water Spiritual King and then frowned.

"Why don't you directly become the Spiritual Lord?"

Duanmu Xi curled up her lips and said lightly, "Haste makes waste."

With its eyes glistening, Lanze hastened to nod.

"Good point. Mistress, you are really very smart."

"Thank you, Lanze."

Duanmu Xi held Lanze in her arms and touched its big head. Its eyes were full of loyalty.

No matter what happened before, she must thank Lanze. Without it, she had no idea when her meridians could be repaired.

"Mistress, no need to thank me. This water spiritual fruit should belong to you."

Duanmu Xi frowned and didn't understand Lanze's words.

"This water spiritual fruit is not mine. I'm guarding it for my mistress."

No one knew that it stayed here for thousands of years only to await its mistress's advent.

Duanmu Xi's eyes glistened. It stayed here for thousands of years only for her arrival. Was she meant to come to this world?

Fine. She should just take things as they came. No matter who was behind all of these things, she wouldn't succumb to fate.

"Is there any place I can have a rest?"

"There is a cave behind the thicket. Sometimes, when I feel tired of staying in the spiritual pool, I will go to reside in the cave."

Lanze said as it pointed at the thicket beside the spiritual pool.

At night, Duanmu Xi sat by the fire and thought about what she should do next.

She wanted to save Ying so she must become a heavenly-grade refining pharmacist or find one.

However, she was too weak now. If she left the uninhabited island, the one who broke her meridians would never let her go. Hence, she must resume cultivation and become strong. Only by becoming strong can she protect herself and wake Ying up.

As Ying said before, the cultivation method on the Hantian Continent was actually more or less the same as what she learned before. There were two paths—mysterious Qi and spiritual power.

Those who cultivated mysterious Qi were mysterious masters while those who cultivated spiritual power were spiritual masters.

Mysterious masters were good at melee attacks. There were nine rankings from the lowest to the highest: Mysterious Knight, Mysterious Master, Mysterious Sovereign, Mysterious King, Mysterious Lord, Mysterious Emperor, Mysterious Deity, Mysterious Saint, and Mysterious God. Each ranking had four levels—low, medium, high and peak.

Similarly, spiritual masters excelled at remote attacks. There were also nine rankings: Spiritual Knight, Spiritual Master, Spiritual Sovereign, Spiritual King, Spiritual Lord, Spiritual Emperor, Spiritual Deity, Spiritual Saint and Spiritual God. Each ranking had nine levels.

By now, she had reached the Spiritual King in terms of water property and not even started the cultivation in other properties. Therefore, she still had a long way to go.

Given her current condition, Duanmu Xi chose to work on the wood property and the earth property first.

Half a month later, the green light and the black light spurted out of Duanmu Xi's body at the same time.

The seven colors—red, green, cyan, blue, purple, black and white, stood for the seven kinds of spiritual power—fire, wood, wind, water, thunder, earth and ice.

After half a month's absorption and refinement, Duanmu Xi had managed to break through level zero and become Wood Spiritual Knight and Earth Spiritual Knight.

Her progress was stunningly rapid. Maybe it was because this was the second time that Duanmu Xi had started to cultivate. As a saying went, practice made perfect. Moreover, she was quite gifted. Of course, she cultivated much faster than ordinary people.

...

In the ice pool of the ever-lasting snowy mountain, an old man in gold with grey beards and hair was urging his strength to treat a young man in black.

The old man in gold happened to be the King of Snow Wolves, Sir Snow, who guarded the Snow Mountain for thousands of years.

And this young man in black was his grandson, Xuanyuan Mo.

"Barf!"

"Mo."

As Xuanyuan Mo suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, Sir Snow was startled and hastened to withdraw his palms.
