Chapter 339 Monster Meat, Powerful Aftereffects
The next morning, movement finally came from the cave in the back mountain.
Last night, the three siblings arrived at the back mountain and immediately began their cultivation.
Wenxia used the spiritual energy from the monster's flesh to break through to the third level of Qi Refining.
Wen Chengbin ate a lot of meat and drank a lot of soup, so he should have absorbed a lot of spiritual energy. He felt that he was about to break through, but he failed at the last moment, which only shows that he still needs to accumulate more.
And you know what? This meat was really nourishing, and Wenwen benefited a lot from it too. She successfully broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining in the space.
Once the situation in the neighboring cave stabilized again, the master, servant, and bird emerged from the space and chatted in Cave 2.
"Master, you saw what happened at hole number 3, didn't you? Don't you have any ideas?"
The one practicing in Cave No. 3 is Wen Chengbin.
He was already at the third level of Qi Refining, and this time he wanted to break through to the fourth level, but he failed several times.
Therefore, Aying had to remind him again.
“Master, I’ve told you before, you can only stay at the third level here in the valley. You’ll never be able to break through to the fourth level, no matter what. Look, your second brother is an example right in front of you. Yes, Yanqian Mountain can break through to the fourth level, but at most it’s the fifth or even the sixth level. It’s absolutely impossible to think about the seventh level or even higher. You yourself only broke through to the seventh level in the space. Think about it, isn’t that right?”
Wenwen truly understood this. Back in the mountains, when Master broke through his cultivation level, she felt that she was also on the verge of a breakthrough, but ultimately failed.
Last night, after eating a bowl of snake meat soup, the feeling of wanting to break through surged up again. Then, in Cave No. 2, she also tried to break through, but failed again. At that time, she felt an inexplicable suppression hindering her breakthrough. Finally, she had no choice but to enter the space. After the inexplicable suppression disappeared in the space, she was able to successfully break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
"That's right, so what can we do?"
Ah Ying spoke earnestly, speaking with the tone of someone who had been through it all: "Master, people thrive when they move, but trees die when they move. If you want to improve your cultivation level, you have no choice but to move, unless you are content with the status quo and your path to immortality is blocked. If you are content with that, then disregard what I said!"
Wenwen pondered for a while, then frowned and said, "It's impossible to move in the short term, but where can we move to? To the mountains? Is that even possible? It doesn't seem likely either. Sigh, this is difficult. Let's get through this hurdle first. It's so frustrating. I can't think of anything by myself. Aying, this is too difficult. I can't do it!"
In the end, Wenwen was talking to herself, asking and answering her own questions, then shrugged and cried to Aying.
Ah Ying...
It's not that her master can't do it, it's that she doesn't want to. She's too lazy and doesn't want to use her brain. Luckily, she has a group of think tanks at home.
Well, what the master said makes sense. Once he gets through this hurdle, he'll find an opportunity to chat with the elders. The elders have a broader perspective and are much better than his unreliable master.
Aying then comforted her, "Master, once we get through this, let's go out for a stroll. The world outside is vast. That old tortoise wants to see the outside world, so let's go together then."
This touched Wenwen's heart. Going out for a stroll, especially to the cultivation world, was her long-cherished dream. Which cultivator who had worked hard to cultivate would not want to go to the immortal mountains and immortal realm?
Regardless of what others think, she really longs for it.
Seeing her mistress lost in a beautiful fantasy, Aying couldn't bear to remind her that the survival of the fittest in the immortal realm was even more terrifying and cruel than in the mortal world.
Crunch!
The sound of the door opening in the neighboring cave pulled Wenwen back from her reverie.
Then, Wen Chengbin came out first, followed by Wen Xia.
Wenwen gathered her thoughts and opened the door. As soon as she did, Aying rushed out. She hadn't seen those children for a long time and missed them terribly.
I never imagined that this little bird would make a few friends in the mortal world.
Cluck cluck cluck, it also gained a friendship here.
Aying chirped a few times, then swooped down and flew towards the bamboo courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Wen Chengbin and Wen Xia only heard a few bird calls before a figure darted past and flew away.
Upon seeing Wenwen emerge, the two asked in unison, "Little sister, have you broken through?"
"Well, a breakthrough."
Wenwen simply gestured a number and then suppressed her cultivation to the fourth level. Unless absolutely necessary, she would suppress her cultivation to this level.
"Congratulations on breaking through to the third level, eldest sister." After Wenwen finished speaking, she turned to look at Wen Chengbin and said, "Second brother, don't worry. In a few days, when we go to the mountain range again, you may be able to break through."
"I hope so," Wen Chengbin said, somewhat dejected.
Walking through the morning mist, the group returned to the bamboo courtyard.
At this moment, breakfast had just been set on the table at Zhuyuan.
The area around the children's table was bustling with activity.
Several children surrounded Aying, asking her how she was doing.
"Aying, where did you go?"
"Ah Ying, we miss you so much! Do you miss us too?"
"Ah Ying, you've lost weight."
Wenwen was speechless...
Thin? How did you tell?
Wenwen really wanted to pry open their little heads and let them see Aying's true colors.
Ah Ying ate a lot of the fruit in her space, but she didn't grow any bigger. If she had grown even a little, or had some kind of special talent for growing taller, she could have had some hope, right? But there was no change at all.
Furthermore, she used Gengyan fruit to refine healing pills for Aying. The girl took the pills, but her injuries didn't improve at all. She didn't know whether they were better or not, but Aying just said they weren't. It's really unbelievable that she was completely fooled by it.
It turns around and tries to deceive children again; the children, after being sold, will probably even help it count the money.
At this moment, the children prepared a food bowl for it, and put a lot of vegetables on the bowl. They were just waiting to feed it.
"Ah Ying, try this meat, it's delicious, eat up..."
This treatment was simply unbearable to look at, and Wenwen felt a little heartbroken.
After the meal, Elder Wen Yuanqian announced a piece of news: "Three days from now, your third uncle, your eldest uncle, Xia'er, and I will go to the mountain range. As you probably already know, Xia'er just broke through to the third level of Qi Refining this morning. The timing is perfect. I want to reiterate today that anyone who breaks through to the third level can apply to go to the mountain range for training. Those of you who want to go should hurry up and cultivate."
"Opportunity favors the prepared mind. Xia'er's breakthrough this time was excellent, as everyone has seen. This is the result of accumulated experience. So, everyone, keep up the good work!"
The mini mobilization meeting ended, and everyone in the dining hall was encouraged.
Yao Maimai was very envious and kept pestering Wenxia with her chatter.
"Sister Xia, how did you break through? We started around the same time, how come there's such a big difference? We ate, slept, and cultivated together every day, how did the gap suddenly widen?"
"No, I'm going to eat three bowls of rice tonight. I need to eat more, practice more, yes, cultivate more. I'm going up the mountain right now, I'm going up the mountain..."
As soon as the words were spoken, a figure burst out of the door and headed towards the back mountain.
In the following days, a frenzied wave of cultivation swept through the valley.
Everyone was highly enthusiastic, spending several times more time cultivating than before, to the point of almost forgetting to eat and sleep.
