The second Feng Xianyue appeared in the space, Feng Yueling jumped into her arms.
It was like the little dumpling was trying to comfort her, and Feng Xianyue suddenly felt warm in her heart.
No matter how tough the little ancestor acted, he still had a soft spot for Feng Xianyue.
He must have felt her pain due to the bond they shared.
She felt sad because of this—he was still a child after all, he didn’t deserve to experience that sort of pain.
Playfully rubbing the protrusions on his head, she said, “Yueling, you are my only family now, so you have to be good and don’t give me a hard time.”
The little dumpling only looked away, snorting coldly, which was cute to Feng Xianyue, who laughed softly at him, her lips pulling into a doting smile.
“Let’s go, Yueling.
We don’t have enough time.
We have to grow stronger as soon as we can.”
Feng Xianyue and little Yueling went to the hut and soon arrived at the training room.
At the beginning, she couldn’t access this room, but now at Qi Condensation, she could finally make use of it.
The training room had such dense spiritual energy that was almost suffocating.
Thankfully, there was a way to reduce it to the rate her body could endure.
After collecting thousands of spirit stones from the spirit stone room, they both settled in the training room and began cultivating.
Feng Xianyue didn’t know how cultivation for dragons worked.
She only knew that spirit stones were good for cultivation, so when she saw the little dumpling consuming them at a fast rate, she didn’t stop him.
Taking out the jade slip, Feng Xianyue nodded in satisfaction when she remembered that she had awakened her divine sense when she advanced to the first layer of Qi Condensation.
Without wasting time, she extended her divine sense into the jade slip, and a wave of information immediately entered her brain.
She saw both the manual for Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment realms.
Ignoring the second one, she soon began cultivating the techniques and chants for advancing to the next layer of Qi Condensation.
After a moment, Feng Xianyue felt as if ants were crawling all over her body.
The feeling was uncomfortable and accompanied by a prickling sensation.
Clenching her teeth, she let out a deep breath as she advanced to the second layer of Qi Condensation.
The wonderful feeling was more profound at this point, and Feng Xianyue felt so refreshed and clear-headed.
Opening her eyes, she saw Yueling sleeping soundly and smiled softly.
She didn’t bother to wake him.
Feng Xianyue had a lot of plans.
Knowing that she was going to a secret realm which was ridden with danger at every turn, she had to prepare a lot of things.
Because there would be others with higher cultivation realms than her, she had to take other measures to protect herself.
The plan was to make different kinds of pills to protect herself in the secret realm.
As she walked to the field of spirit grasses, she sighed in frustration.
If only she had someone to assist her in gathering all the grasses she needed, Feng Xianyue thought.
After gathering all the herbs she required, she went to the alchemy room and began prepping the furnace.
Because Feng Xianyue had never practiced alchemy before, she made a lot of mistakes at the beginning.
Either the fire was too hot or too low, or the spiritual grasses were too much or too little.
“Haa.” Feng Xianyue exhaled hard, sweat dripping off her body.
It had been a month now.
Even with her rare physique, she could not get the results she wanted.
Suddenly, Feng Xianyue remembered something and immediately sat down and began cultivating.
When she had awakened her Nine Yin Heavenly Physique, that mysterious energy preventing her from advancing in her cultivation suddenly disappeared, and she also discovered she had two types of flames.
Her first flame was the Wood Spirit Flame, but due to her Nine Yin Physique—though not yet awakened—her flame still evolved.
Normally, wood produces fire in the Five Elements, while Nine Yin suppresses normal flames, but due to the presence of both, it created an unusual mutation, creating the Wood Yin Flame.
However, after awakening both physiques, her flames became two, and Feng Xianyue’s instinct made her feel that it was likely the two flames conflicting with each other which caused her alchemy to fail miserably.
Producing both flames in each hand, Feng Xianyue decided to merge them.
She didn’t know what would happen, but she was hoping for a surprising mutation.
However, merging two strong conflicting flames was easier said than done.
Feng Xianyue spent a month struggling with her flames.
It was like they had a consciousness of their own.
Feng Xianyue at this point was exhausted and had lost all her spiritual energy.
She had to keep taking spiritual water constantly and consuming spirit stones simultaneously to gain the energy to refine the fire.
Her hard work finally paid off, and Feng Xianyue even gained more benefit from the struggle.
Due to the constant depletion and surge of spiritual energy in her body, A surge of power exploded through her meridians.
One layer, two layers, three.
The energy kept coming, unstoppable, until she had shot up six layers in a single breath.
She gasped, overwhelmed by the sudden flood of power.
Was this why they said the Nine Yin Heavenly Physique was miraculous and heaven-defying?
Currently, Feng Xianyue was at the eighth layer of Qi Condensation in just eighteen real days.
The Qi Condensation realm has fourteen layers, and Feng Xianyue was already halfway through in half a month.
After checking her body with her divine sense, Feng Xianyue discovered something exciting—her spirit flames really mutated!
She once saw this kind of flame in an old book she had read from the space library.
It was one of the highest grade Divine Yin Flames, something that appears once in ten thousand years, called the Nine Yin Lotus Flame.
It usually appeared as a white lotus-shaped flame with jade petals.
The power of the flame could attack the soul, freeze the soul, purify poisons, strengthen spiritual consciousness, and drain vitality from enemies, converting it into life energy.
This was really a great achievement for her.
After resting for a few hours, Feng Xianyue continued refining her pills in the alchemy room.
This time around, she successfully made a batch of low-grade healing pills.
Even though they were low-grade, they looked plump and healthy, superior to other low-grade healing pills.
If Feng Xianyue were to sell them, she would get a considerable amount of low-grade spirit stones for them.
However, Feng Xianyue was not satisfied and wanted to create something of higher value.
She didn’t know what awaited her in the secret realm—no matter what, she had to prepare well.
After a lot of effort, Feng Xianyue finally created medium-grade healing pills, qi gathering pills, blood replenishing pills, spirit recovery pills, bone mending pills, and soul nourishing pills.
Each furnace produced at least five to six pills.
Though they were not really plump, they still emitted a strong fragrance surging with spiritual power.
Sighing in relief, Feng Xianyue returned to the training room to continue cultivating.
However, she was stunned at what she saw.
Feng Yueling stood in the training room, his body releasing waves of overwhelming spiritual energy.
Currently, he was now the size of a large dog, the protrusions on his head were longer, with his wings folded neatly behind his back.
From the connection between them, Feng Xianyue found out that the little dumpling was no longer a baby but now a young dragon.
Did all dragons grow this fast?
Feng Xianyue wondered.
Sitting cross-legged, she began cultivating again, and within the remaining real month, Feng Xianyue successfully advanced to the peak of Qi Condensation.
