A World-Shaking Genius

Dong Xi looked at Ke Xin’s message and chuckled. She remembered that when she first had a phone in her previous life, she had added friends everywhere and chatted with everyone. It was very novel. Ke Xin must be in the same state now. Just as she was about to reply to Ke Xin’s message, she saw Ke Xin immediately repost a message.

“The young master of the Fire Xuan Bird, Chi Yan, has a spirit root value of 99. He took in Qi into his body two days after entering the Ningtian Sect, and reached the level of Qi Refinement stage in eight days. He’s a world-shocking genius.”

When Dong Xi saw this news, she was also extremely shocked. Ever since she had found out that exposing herself to moonlight was effective in cultivating, she had been slacking off for the past few days. Ke Xin’s news had given Dong Xi a huge blow, jolting her awake. Those with good aptitudes and family backgrounds had already worked so hard, so what right did she have to not work hard?

In the inquiry section of the jade slip, messages kept popping up. Dong Xi saw that there were even bounty missions on it. Some people put up a huge reward for the heads of others, and some people wanted to buy some natural treasures. In the gossip section, there were all kinds of strange things. Some said that the concubine of an elder had an affair, and some disciples of other sects had an affair.

Some also said that the Ningtian Sect had not made any moves since the people from Heaven’s Will Pavilion had left. Demon Lord Su Cheng was not in the Ningtian Sect at all and the people of the Heaven’s Will Pavilion should investigate it carefully.

There were also many other things. Dong Xi roughly looked at it and understood that the jade slip was indeed a mystery. Unfortunately, she could not waste her time playing around. Dong Xi sent a message to Ke Xin, telling her that she was planning to go into seclusion.

She also told Ke Xin to work hard and asked her not to waste her time. Finally, she put down the jade slip and looked at the small snake mark on her arm. When she was at the iron sword stall today, she was about to give up on it, but a voice suddenly rang out in her mind. Other than Ke Xin and the stall owner, the only person she could suspect was the small snake.

Dong Xi asked softly, “The one who spoke in my consciousness, was it you?”

After asking, she waited for a while, but the small snake mark did not move at all. Dong Xi could not do anything either. She could not just cut off his arm, right? Dong Xi frowned. She could only helplessly lower her sleeve to cover the mark of the little snake. In any case, if she could not see it, then she could not worry.

The sky gradually darkened. Dong Xi opened the window and let the moonlight shine into the room. Dong Xi then sat down and prepared to cultivate. This time, she cultivated for a whole month. During the day, she practiced her sword technique. At night, she absorbed the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth with the help of the moonlight.

Living not far away was a disciple who entered the Ningtian Sect together with her. Her name was Chen Farong, who also was a little girl. Among this group of people, Chen Farong’s aptitude was relatively good. She used half a month to reach the first level of Qi Refinement stage.

It was also her first time seeing a house located not too far away from hers. She was secretly happy, but it did not last long before she could not be happy anymore. After reaching the first level of Qi Refinement, there was one night when Chen Farong could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. She so happened to look toward the pond, and what she saw surprised her.

Chen Farong saw a figure meditating and cultivating under the moonlight. It was already midnight. Even the most hardworking disciples were already on their beds, asleep. However, this person was still cultivating?

Chen Farong was also very curious about who was on the other side, so she took out the jade slip and asked her friends.

“Does anyone know who’s living by the pond? This person didn’t sleep at all and is still cultivating.”

Chen Farong did not eat Fasting Pills. Every day, when it was time for meals, she would go to the cafeteria. Every time she went out, she would see the owner of that house practicing her swordsmanship. When she came back after eating, that person would still be practicing swordsmanship. Looking at the food and spirit fruits in her hands, she suddenly lost her appetite.

Chen Farong could not help but complain on the communication platform on the jade slip. “Oh my God, that girl is crazy. She doesn’t sleep at night, and instead just cultivates. She doesn’t rest during the day either, and she just practices the sword. Aren’t we in the Alchemy Sect? Why is she still practicing the sword?”

It was because of this that, in the Ningtian Sect, besides the genius Chi Yan, there was also the ‘Queen of Seclusion’, Dong Xi.

No one dared to think about Chi Yan’s achievements. After all, he was born with a natural talent. What he could achieve with just a breath might take a long time for the normal cultivators.

However, Dong Xi was different. She was an outer disciple like them. There was not much difference in their aptitudes. Dong Xi had been cultivating so hard without any rest, so naturally, everyone could do the same.

It was said that there would be a martial arts competition in half a year’s time, and the top ten disciples would all receive good rewards. If an outer sect disciple could enter the top ten, such a disciple could directly become an inner sect disciple and cultivate in the inner sect in the future.
