Chapter 11: Personal Servan (1/2)
Although the servant girl mentioned that Bai Luochu could move around the residence as she pleased, Bai Luochu still felt that the person who bought her was overly mysterious. Her intuition told her that the lord of this residence definitely had a special identity. Otherwise, they wouldn’t need to be overly vigilant with a new servant.
Most importantly, Bai Luochu wanted to know the reason he bought her. Was there anything special about her? Looking at how things were, it definitely wasn’t as simple as buying a slave...
Bai Luochu had been blindfolded with a piece of black cloth from the entrance, but she had already released her spiritual energy. She noticed that the servant girl brought her in circles before arriving at their destination. Luckily for her, the path wasn’t too confusing and it didn’t take Bai Luochu long to plot out a route from the entrance to the room. The only thing the journey taught her was that the residence was massive.
Bai Luochu casually looked around and decided to bide her time. Since she was the objective, someone would tell her the purpose of the purchase soon. She wasn’t in a hurry since it was much more comfortable to cultivate in this place as compared to the prison cells of the BestialBattle Arena.
After having a simple meal, Bai Luochu wanted to cultivate her spiritual energy like what she had been doing all along. However, she suddenly recalled that her meridians were already cleared up and her body constitution was suitable for cultivation.
After all her considerations, Bai Luochu decided to absorb heaven and earth spirit qi for cultivation. She wasn’t going to repeat what she did before where she used her spiritual energy to open up her meridians.
As she absorbed the heaven and earth spirit qi produced by all living beings in the world and gathered it around her spirit platform, a completely different feeling filled her body. In the past, she had to use her spiritual energy to guide the spirit qi to move around her meridians. However...
Since Bai Luochu’s meridians were opened up, she could directly cycle the spirit qi in her body to complete a cycle of cultivation.
The moment she made a complete cycle, Bai Luochu stopped as a grave expression appeared on her face.
It seemed weird but Bai Luochu suddenly realized a problem that she had overlooked when she was cultivating in the past.
Previously, Bai Luochu placed all her attention on breaking the obstructions in the meridians. She completely forgot to inspect their condition and only realized something was off after her first circulation of spirit qi.
On this continent, all living things were produced from spirit qi. When they perish, the spirit qi would be returned to the world. After the spirit qi returned to the heavens and earth, it would be used to create new life once again.
Even ordinary people who didn’t cultivate would gradually absorb spirit qi due to the smooth flow in their meridians. As the spirit qi nourished the body, they would be able to enjoy a healthy and long life. As for those who started cultivating at a young age… it was no surprise they possessed even more advantages.
It didn’t matter if one’s innate talent was adept for cultivation or if they were a descendant from an influential clan and had Alchemists to provide assistance in firming the fundamentals and nurturing the spirit. After reaching a certain level, their meridians would be stronger and more robust compared to a regular human. It was the same for Bai Luochu in her previous life.
As for Bai Luochu’s current body, her meridians were obstructed from a young age and were basically considered innately crippled meridians. When spirit qi entered her body and encountered the obstruction, it would automatically dissipate after some time. Since her meridians lacked nourishment for many years, they became abnormally weak. Even newborn babies had meridians in better condition than hers.
In terms of meridians, Bai Luochu was like an elderly person with one foot in the grave.
”Sigh…” Bai Luochu let out a long sigh. Previously, she assumed that the pain during the spirit qi circulation came from the impact between the obstruction and spirit qi. Right now, it seemed like the pain was probably due to the fact that her meridians were unable to endure a large amount of spirit qi surging through them.
