When Earth Awakened, I Became a Sword Saintess

Chapter 33 : Condensing Source into Water

33: Condensing Source into Water

"WHO!??"

Long Xiaotian's Primordial Energy scattered out of control, as if it could push away the surrounding students. He pushed through the astonished crowd, his eyes wide as he stared at the big screen.

"First Place ***** Primordial Energy *****"

"This..." Long Xiaotian revealed a lack of composure he had never shown at school. He couldn't help but stomp his foot hard. "And... and anonymous?"

The surrounding students, in their surprise, also quietly backed away, pretending not to see Long Xiaotian. At a time like this, who would dare go up and ask him, "Young Master Long, how did you get second?"

"WHO THE HELL IS THIS!!!??"

Long Xiaotian's face contorted. He wanted to recover his usual calm and composed expression but couldn't. His body stood frozen in the middle of the crowd on the sports field.

At this moment, Yuyin hadn't waited for the results to be announced. After all, she had chosen to be anonymous, so what was there to wait for? To find out about her other classmates' situations, someone would surely post photos in the group chat.

On the way home.

"Ding, from the strong fluctuations in the souls of the crowd caused by their astonishment, curiosity, and speculation. Gained 6 Soul Charm Points."

"From Long Xiaotian's immense shock. Gained 15 Soul Charm Points."

"Hm?" Yuyin stopped in her tracks. What happened?

She opened her phone's QQ. The group chat was already in an uproar, all discussing how Long Xiaotian had been "crushed" by an anonymous student's Primordial Energy, happily taking second place. A photo of the big screen was attached.

"So that's how it is..."

It seemed that even though she was anonymous, this incident had originated from her, so she could still gain Soul Charm Points. However, it seemed that being surprised about this matter online wouldn't grant Soul Charm Points; one had to be present at the scene.

When Yuyin returned home, before she even showered, she first entered the God-Devouring Chess space to take a look. The total number of chess pieces had now exceeded seventy, and gradually, a qualitative change was occurring. Because there were more and more of the same type of piece, the chances of upgrading their star rating had become greater. There were already five or six two-star pieces, which was undoubtedly another great enhancement for Yuyin's cultivation.

"Hm? Where is the Medicine Maiden?"

The other chess pieces were either on standby in the camp or out fighting with Xiao Yuan, but the Medicine Maiden was nowhere to be found.

Yuyin sensed the Medicine Maiden's location and her consciousness flew over.

Her consciousness passed through a dense, ancient forest. Ahead, a clear, blue light shimmered, and the sound of water seemed to be carried on the air.

Yuyin's consciousness continued to approach, passing through a thicket of bushes. She saw a pool of clear, cold water in the mountain forest.

In the pool, a woman with a jade-like, fair back, her long hair cascading to one side. Crystal water droplets fell from the tips of her hair.

"Swish, swish..."

It was the Medicine Maiden. She... was bathing?

Yuyin's peripheral vision couldn't help but sweep over the soft, colorful, fairy-like clothes placed on a rock. For some reason, she thought of the story of the Seven Fairies.

Yuyin's heartbeat quickened unconsciously.

"This is wrong, why am I nervous? It's as if I'm doing something bad. I'm a woman now too! A woman looking at another woman, what's the big deal?"

"Who's there!?"

A woman's sensitivity was beyond Yuyin's expectations. The Medicine Maiden, covering her rather high and firm chest, suddenly turned to look with vigilance. This startled Yuyin, causing her to tremble on her bed.

However, the Medicine Maiden didn't see anything, yet she still felt as if someone was watching her.

A moment later, the Medicine Maiden seemed to realize something, and a blush spread across her face.

She covered her chest and waded through the water.

Yuyin thought she could see her and was coming to blame her, so she quickly backed away.

But the Medicine Maiden sister simply gave a subtle, slightly reproachful smile in this direction, as if she understood everything in her heart. She bent down to pick up her gauze-like dress, draped it over her body, and then actually let go. The partly visible feeling made Yuyin a bit embarrassed and want to look away.

The Medicine Maiden sister, however, gave a slightly complaining smile, as if she understood everything in her heart. She picked up the bamboo basket by the pool and from it took out a silk-wrapped, jade-like, crystal-clear medicinal herb.

She held the herb in both hands, blew gently in Yuyin's direction, and the jade-like medicinal herb transformed into a jade-green, crystal-like current of light. It rippled and danced, flying towards Yuyin.

Wave after wave, a feeling of comfort, as if directly entering Yuyin's Dantian...

Caught off guard, Yuyin passively absorbed the essence of an entire medicinal herb.

A female will sounded: "This is a low-grade Scholar-class Junyu Ruyi grass, which can only be found and gathered by the Medicine Maiden. It can greatly increase Primordial Energy and also strengthen the meridians, bones, and body. At the same time, it can enhance the body's charm, making it very suitable for female cultivators to consume."

So, the Medicine Maiden often didn't participate in battles, carrying her basket everywhere, because she was gathering herbs.

To have seen the Medicine Maiden sister bathing for no reason, not to be blamed, and to even receive a medicinal herb she had gathered herself, Yuyin felt both grateful and a little embarrassed.

But she was too embarrassed to watch the Medicine Maiden dry herself, so she withdrew her consciousness.

She thought that this herb must be very precious and hard to find. It had taken the Medicine Maiden sister more than a month to gather just this one plant.

At this moment, Yuyin lay flat on her bed. Her Primordial Energy value had already reached 116. The Junyu Ruyi grass from before had directly increased her Primordial Energy by 10 points.

When the Primordial Energy value approached 120, Yuyin felt a more concrete, different change in her body.

In her lower abdomen, around the area of her Dantian, perhaps even slightly lower, there seemed to be a mass of richer, more intense Primordial Energy condensing. As the Primordial Energy continued to refine and purify, it had begun to condense into a single, crystal-clear liquid droplet.

Yuyin recalled browsing the Yuan Shixi yesterday, which had mentioned similar content. She waited for her body to gradually calm down and adapt, then got up and opened her phone.

The section of Yuan Shixi on the advanced steps of Primordial Energy cultivation explained that the first step of Primordial Energy cultivation was the breathing technique, exhaling and inhaling the Source between heaven and earth, absorbing the essence within.

The second step, for men, was to gather Source into a Crystal. For women, it was to condense Source into Water.

This was the Water of Source Spirit!

Also called Spirit Water.

The reason it was called Spirit Water was because it was unique to women, to distinguish it from the natural Source Water, which was abundant in external Source Energy. The two were also fundamentally different.

The production of Spirit Water within the body meant that a woman's Primordial Energy cultivation had entered a relatively high stage. She was beginning to truly set herself apart from ordinary people, striding towards becoming a Source Martial Practitioner.

For a woman to have Spirit Water was a sign.

Just as a girl's maturity has its own signs, only with the condensation of Spirit Water could one be considered a true female cultivator.
