Chapter 13: Time to Cultivate! (2/2)

Although faint, so faint that it can be almost ignored.

But this is a qualitative change from nothing to something!

This is her first step into this world!

It's done!

The long-lost feeling of spiritual energy flowing through her meridians almost brought tears to Ruan Tang's eyes.

It's done!

She suppressed her overwhelming joy, calmed herself down, and repeated the process.

The water spirit root was activated once again.

She's determined to press on!

However, this time, the situation is completely different.

The vitality of the returning vegetation suddenly diminished, turning from a surging river into a babbling brook.

That pleasant feeling that washed over my entire body disappeared.

Ruan Tang suddenly opened her eyes.

She didn't try again.

Because she saw a ray of golden sunlight pierce through the morning mist and fall on the river.

The rising white mist was dissipating rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I see.

Ruan Tang understood instantly.

To put it bluntly, this "Green Vine Cloud Dew Technique" is just a middleman's business that relies on the weather for its livelihood.

She first had to "borrow" moisture from the heavens and earth, process it, and then "sell" it to plants.

The plants and trees benefited, so she was given a share of the "profit".

Now that the sun has risen and the natural moisture has dissipated, she, as the middleman, has no source of goods.

The business deal fell through.

"Breaking a cultivation technique is quite time-sensitive."

Ruan Tang pursed her lips and muttered a curse under her breath, but her face didn't show much frustration.

Knowing the limitations is better than knowing nothing at all.

Instead, she calmed down and carefully felt the changes in her body.

very good.

The fatigue from running around all night was completely swept away.

It was as if a clear spring had been injected into this mortal body, and a sense of lightness permeated even the gaps between the bones.

My five senses have also become much more acute.

She could even clearly hear the slight clanging of the chain as the first bicycle rolled over the cobblestones at the street corner in the distance.

Her skin was incredibly hydrated, delicate, and fair, as if water droplets would seep out if you pinched it lightly.

Although the improvement in cultivation was only negligible, the transformation of this mortal body was real.

Ruan Tang was not disappointed. Her dual spiritual roots of water and earth from her previous life had long since tempered her temperament, so this progress was not unacceptable.

Ruan Tang shifted to a more comfortable position and continued meditating, eventually falling asleep without realizing it.

Ruan Tang was unaware of this while she was asleep.

Those wisps of vital energy from the water and wood were still slowly but steadily and continuously improving her mortal body.

In the morning light, her skin appeared even more translucent and white, like the finest white jade.

Her long, black hair became even smoother and shinier, gleaming with a satin-like sheen.

What's even more astonishing is the century-old willow tree beneath her.

What was originally just a sturdy and ancient willow tree now has thousands of hanging tendrils that are so green they seem to drip with water.

Each leaf unfolds, radiating a vibrant and energetic life force.

This vitality is still spreading.

Centered on the ancient willow, within a radius of several feet, the grass on the ground sprouted wildly and quickly covered the stone steps.

Several clumps of unnamed wildflowers by the riverbank, defying the season, had once again budded, their delicate blossoms trembling as they unfurled. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
