Chapter 51: Engrossed in Cultivation (1/2)

As night fell… As Bai Luochu used up a lot of her energy to formulate her plans in the day, she didn’t have any spare energy to further extract the essence in the herbs before using them for cultivation. Left with no other choice, she used the spirit medicines Pei Rumo provided to continue her cultivation

After using Pei Qingfeng’s ‘diagnosis fee’, there were no more problems with her meridians. Right now, she only had one objective and that was to quickly increase her strength.

If Bai Luochu wanted to revive the temple, she couldn’t simply depend on her medical skills and connections. The current world was one where the strong ruled supreme, it was also why the Cloud Water Nation’s imperial clan would be so respectful to the Phoenix King Valley’s members. Furthermore, these noble clans would think of endless ways just for a chance for their children to enter the Phoenix King Valley. It wouldn’t be a stretch if they spent a vast fortune as well.

Humans were always chasing for fame and profit as they desperately tried to climb to a higher place in society.

When Bai Luochu opened up the bottle of spirit medicine and took a careful whiff, she noticed that the quality was somewhat similar to the one she had bought in the Hundred Herbs Hall.

She sniggered in her heart as Pei Rumo was truly generous. He was even willing to pour so much money towards nurturing a female slave. However, this also indicated that Pei Rumo had gained a huge amount from their transaction… Why else would he be so generous?

However, due to the fact that Bai Luochu didn’t retain any memories after her reincarnation, she didn’t know the relationship she had with the Third Prince, Pei Wuchen. Thus, she didn’t know that Pei Rumo was actually thinking of using her to strike a blow at the Third Prince’s dream of ascending the throne.

Now wasn’t the time to think about so much. Bai Luochu consumed the spirit medicine with a single gulp and she started to circulate the temple’s unique secret technique. The secret technique allowed her to absorb the spirit qi at a speed a few times faster than normal people. It also allowed her to constantly absorb the environment’s heaven and earth spirit qi even when she wasn’t cultivating. The next time she cultivated, the spirit qi would automatically turn into spirit qi in her body, ready to be absorbed at any time.

It was needless to mention the effects of the secret technique when spirit medicine was used to complement it. The spirit medicine originally used medicinal ingredients meant for assisting in her cultivation as it contained an alchemist’s spirit qi. A normal person would use spirit medicine by guiding the spirit qi in the spirit medicine to allow the medicinal effects to act on the body.

As such, using the secret technique would greatly increase the speed of cultivation. This was also why the temple was known as an evil cult. Despite its identity, there were plenty of those so-called righteous and orthodox sects members who were eyeing covetously at the temple’s inheritance.

In fact, Bai Luochu could refine medicine herself. However, she wasn’t strong enough to ignite the alchemy cauldron. Let alone the fact that she had to blend her spirit qi into the spirit medicine. If she were to refine the medicine forcefully, it might ruin the medicinal ingredient that she obtained from the medicine room.

Furthermore, the amount of spirit medicine in the First Prince’s residence was the same as the amount of meat in a butcher shop. They were aplenty. She naturally didn’t have to force herself to do something she didn’t have the ability to. Her current body was originally weak and if she were to force herself, she might just injure her foundations.

After her cultivation session, Bai Luochu’s strength had increased significantly. With her movement skill, if she had to pit herself against those with cultivation levels higher than her, she might not actually be at a disadvantage. When thinking about this, Bai Luochu revealed a joyous expression as her eyebrows arched upwards. The corners of her mouth curled towards the sky and there was a brilliant smile on her face.

“Knock Knock Knock.” All of a sudden, the sound of knocking could be heard.
