Chapter 59

After giving Xu Ziyang a thorough reminder and some encouragement, Xu Haobo left her residence with great satisfaction.

After seeing Xu Haobo off, Xu Ziyang was already very tired. She returned to her room and fell onto the bed, taking a deep breath.

With her eyes closed, she pulled the blanket over her body. Soon, the warmth of the bed enveloped her, and a wave of drowsiness washed over her. She no longer wanted to open her eyes and fell into a sweet sleep.

The next day, after Xu Ziyang woke up, washed up, and had breakfast at the family dining hall, she walked out with Xu Qingsnow and others.

The new disciples, who had heard Xu Ziyang's words the previous day, understood the importance of the basic books in the library and bid farewell to Xu Ziyang, heading to the library in groups.

Looking at Xu Qingsnow's back, Xu Ziyang couldn't help but ponder. The first floor of the library was no longer attractive to her. She was eager to enter the inner hall and read the second-floor books. She could quickly improve her cultivation, but before leaving the outer hall, she needed to find someone to protect the new disciples in the outer hall.

Once again, she looked up at Xu Qingsnow, who was gradually disappearing from sight. She carefully considered Xu Qingsnow's past behavior and finally decided to trust her and take her as a confidant. This way, after she left the outer hall, Xu Qingsnow could continue to take care of the new disciples in the outer hall, and in the future, she could cultivate a loyal helper for herself.

With this decision made, Xu Ziyang felt much more relaxed. The competition in the capital city was only half a year away, and she was eager to improve her strength. Regardless of the family's future decisions, the ultimate protection would always be her own strength.

She quickly walked back to her residence, locked the door, and took out a talisman pen and paper from her storage bag, beginning to calm her mind.

Now at the fourth level of the Qi Condensation stage, Xu Ziyang could create simple talisman arrays. She was going to create a low-grade Spirit Gathering Array. Spirit Gathering Arrays are divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. At the Qi Condensation stage, only low-grade arrays can be created. To create a middle-grade array, one needs to be at the Foundation Establishment stage, and to create an upper-grade array, one needs to be at the Core Formation stage. Creating a large-scale super-grade array requires the Nascent Soul stage.

Even among low-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays, there are upper, middle, and lower grades. With her current cultivation, Xu Ziyang could only create a low-grade, lower-level Spirit Gathering Array. However, even such an array could gather the surrounding spiritual energy, increasing its concentration by a factor of two.

It is important to know that the concentration of spiritual energy in the world is crucial for cultivators. That's why sects occupy areas with high spiritual energy, and the larger the sect, the more concentrated the spiritual energy within. The higher the concentration of spiritual energy around, the faster the cultivation progress.

After a full hour, Xu Ziyang finally completed the Spirit Gathering Array. Seeing the flowing patterns on it, she excitedly picked up the talisman from the table. From today, she was no longer just someone who could create single talismans but someone who could create talisman arrays. If she knew that in the north, the number of people who could create low-grade arrays was few, she would probably laugh in her sleep.

Xu Ziyang put everything back into her storage bag, walked to the door, opened it, and hung a sign indicating she was in seclusion. This way, even the patriarch would not disturb her.

She returned to her room, sat cross-legged, and activated the Spirit Gathering Array. The spiritual energy around her became noticeably more concentrated, increasing to twice its original level before stabilizing and maintaining that level.

Xu Ziyang then took out a Spirit Burst Pill. The effect of this pill was several times stronger than that of a Spirit Nourishment Pill. At her current cultivation level, taking a Spirit Nourishment Pill was no longer effective, but the Spirit Burst Pill was different and was the best pill for the Qi Condensation stage.

Indeed, after taking a Spirit Burst Pill, a large amount of true essence was generated in Xu Ziyang's body. With the surrounding spiritual energy concentration being twice what it was before, and more importantly, with her being a Water Spirit Body, the speed at which she absorbed spiritual energy was incredibly fast!

Xu Ziyang took a Spirit Burst Pill every hour, and the spiritual energy outside her body rushed into her body. The spiritual energy in the world continuously replenished the spiritual energy around her, like a steady stream, continuously fluctuating.

The doubled concentration of spiritual energy, combined with taking a Spirit Burst Pill every hour, barely kept up with Xu Ziyang's absorption rate. She was very surprised by this, but she didn't have time to think about it because she clearly felt her cultivation level increasing at a much faster rate than before.

Xu Ziyang continued to cultivate, treating the Spirit Burst Pills like food. During this time, the new disciples in the outer hall also came to her residence. They had followed her advice and gone to the library, where they indeed found that the basic cultivation knowledge was very important, especially the cultivation notes of the seniors.

However, they still had many questions, so they wanted to come to Xu Ziyang for guidance. Seeing the sign indicating she was in seclusion at her door, they realized their eagerness for knowledge and felt extremely ashamed. Each of them thought to themselves, "I am being too selfish. Xu Ziyang also needs to cultivate!"

Given Xu Ziyang's current cultivation level, her dedication to cultivation was evident. For her to squeeze out her precious cultivation time to explain things to them was a great favor. They were still not satisfied and wanted to come for guidance at any time, which was nothing but a lack of conscience.

Therefore, after the new disciples saw the sign indicating she was in seclusion, no one came to disturb Xu Ziyang. Even when they passed by her door every day, they walked lightly, afraid of affecting her cultivation. However, they still came to her door every day to see if she would break through after this seclusion.

Seven days later.

Midnight.

The moonlight was like water, shining on the snow-covered ground. The spiritual energy around Xu Ziyang's body suddenly became agitated...

Dear old and new friends, if you feel that the book is still short, you can keep it for now and check out my previous book "Phoenix Song of Song," which is linked below.
