When Earth Awakened, I Became a Sword Saintess

Chapter 82 : Flying Sky

82: Flying Sky

"Oh? You have such a method? Then bring it tomorrow for me to see." A hint of brightness appeared in Chen Qian'ning’s eyes, and her full lips pursed slightly.

As the Department Head, Chen Qian'ning could naturally choose any body refinement method from the academy at will. It was just that although the academy had several excellent methods, none were specifically tailored for women. She was also quite interested in the body refinement method Yuyin mentioned.

Seeing the look in Chen Qian'ning’s eyes, Yuyin felt a bit more confident and secretly pleased in her heart.

Having become a Direct Disciple, her time was much more free. Chen Qian'ning told Yuyin that when not being instructed by her, Yuyin could choose courses within the department according to her own needs. Of course, Yuyin would still attend the classes where the teachers were present. For one, the academy’s teachers were no ordinary people, and those courses would be useful to her. For another, the presence of a Direct Disciple in class was naturally a source of face for the teachers, and that courtesy had to be given.

Yuyin returned home with the precious transcribed copy of the secret manual. According to her teacher, it had been personally transcribed by a nun from the Purple Domain Realm of Mount Emei. Although it wasn’t the original, it still contained a bit of the artistic conception from the Flying Sky Cave. The cost of this copy was also extremely high.

Secret cultivation methods were different from ordinary books and materials. Especially high-level secret methods, the artistic conception and charm between the lines and in the accompanying illustrations could subtly influence a cultivator. Only by comprehending it along with the content could one grasp its profound, true meaning. Therefore, the skill of the transcription was also extremely important. A simple pirated copy would greatly diminish the wonder and effect within.

Copying a secret cultivation method was less like transcribing a text and more like copying a calligraphy model, the characters and paintings themselves.

But no matter what, it couldn’t compare to the original.

After returning in the morning, Yuyin, of course, didn’t go to class. She stayed alone in her dorm room and began to seriously read this "Flying Sky Scripture."

"It’s truly amazing… However, many places are really hard to understand. They require careful comprehension and thought…"

Just as Yuyin was lost in reading the method, the female will sounded.

"A secret method that can be optimized has been discovered. Preliminary judgment: this method is of high importance to you. It is recommended to directly spend 100 Soul Charm Points to restore it to its original version."

"100!?" Yuyin, who was lost in reading, was startled. "Why is it getting more and more expensive?"

After all, the very first optimization had only cost a few Soul Charm Points.

"This method is currently of Mid-Grade Law-Tier. After restoration, it can reach the Mid-Grade Spirit-Paper level."

"Spirit-Paper?"

"Mid-Grade Spirit-Paper is a secret manual at the level of a Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact, one entire tier higher than the Law-Tier." The female will said flatly.

Yuyin’s heart trembled. In that case, wasn’t it expensive?

One must know, this Mid-Grade Law-Tier method required nearly a thousand credits in the Lingdu Source Martial Academy. Looking across the Huaxia Nation, it was considered a precious secret manual. And after optimization, it was a whole tier higher?

The female will continued, "Because a lower-tier secret method of the same type, the ‘Yuan Shixi,’ has already been optimized, the Soul Charm consumption for this optimization is less than the first time this type of cultivation secret method is optimized. If there are more advanced cultivation secret methods in the future, you will also benefit from the accumulation of previous optimizations."

"So this is the price even after the consumption is reduced…"

Yuyin had gained some Soul Charm Points from the recent water competition and the Direct Disciple test. After deducting her expenses, she still had over 230. But this deduction of 100 was still a huge expenditure.

"Restore."

Yuyin said without any hesitation.

The deduction of 100 Soul Charm Points still made Yuyin feel a bit of a pinch.

A moment later, the restoration was complete.

This was the first time Yuyin had come into contact with a secret manual of the Spirit Artifact level. After restoration, its name was directly "Flying Sky," without the character for "scripture." However, the golden text wrote "Upper Part" at the beginning, stating that this secret manual was divided into two parts, upper and lower.

"Flying Sky…"

Yuyin saw a golden, ethereal female figure. Her upper body was bare, and she wore a flowing, long skirt. Long ribbons danced behind her. She demonstrated the secret method’s movements one by one, just like a celestial maiden. Within the gold, there were also hints of cyan and white, wondrous colors.

Could this really be the secret used by ancient celestial maidens for their cultivation? Yuyin couldn’t help but feel her chest heave violently. Every time she faced a wondrous, profound cultivation secret method, she would get excited.

"It seems the artistic conception is best imitated by her attire. But I can’t possibly go around with my upper body exposed wearing some celestial maiden’s skirt, right? Forget it. I’ll just practice like this for now. It should be fine as long as I wear as little as possible."

Little Yuan had been coming back after 8 p.m. recently. The Daoist Arts Department was also very strict. With Yuyin alone in the room, she boldly began to cultivate, wearing a white tube top and black safety shorts.

The first section was also a breathing method.

It was called Feather Absorption.

This breathing method was profound. Its wonder lay in being very similar to the gentle breathing of an ordinary woman, but internally, it was completely different. It extracted the exquisite essence from a woman’s gentle breathing. If there was the slightest error, the wonder would be lost, and it would become plain and ordinary.

Even for Yuyin, it took several hours of practice to master it, and this was with her extensive foundation.

However, once she succeeded, Yuyin greatly felt its wonder.

It was too comfortable… This breathing method brought the delicate, comfortable feeling of a woman to its fullest expression. It was many times more comfortable than the Revised Yuan Shixi.

From now on, Yuyin no longer needed to cultivate the Revised Yuan Shixi.

The efficiency of absorbing Primordial Energy had also increased by too, too much…

At this point, it was already evening.

In the villa’s first-floor area, Qin Feizhen was sitting alone on the terrace, meditating and absorbing Primordial Energy while facing the lake, in a rather good mood.

"Although I fell behind that woman at the start of school, I believe in my own potential. As the saying goes, true strength comes from thick accumulation and thin release!"

"Recently, I heard that Xia Yuyin actually became Chen Qian'ning’s Direct Disciple… I must work even harder. I absolutely cannot be like Ximen Liang, wasting time chasing women. All my time must be used for cultivation. I don’t believe I can’t catch up to you…"

"Ugh… urk…"

Suddenly, Qin Feizhen felt he couldn’t breathe. He quickly stopped absorbing Primordial Energy and was able to catch his breath, panting heavily.

"What, what’s going on?"

"Huh?" Qin Feizhen felt around in surprise. "Primordial… where is the Primordial Energy?"

At this moment, the villas around, both upstairs and downstairs, also began to bustle with noise. Many new and old students ran out to their balconies and terraces, looking at the evening sky and lake with confusion and surprise.

"What’s going on? How come I suddenly can’t sense the existence of Primordial Energy anymore at Yuehu Lake, which is so rich with it?"

"Yeah! Where’s the Primordial Energy? I was practicing so intently just now, and suddenly it was as if the Primordial Energy had been sucked dry?" a second-year girl from the second floor also said loudly.

Room 2076.

Yuyin sat on her bed, facing Yuehu Lake. She opened her eyes.

"The Primordial Energy… it’s just gone like that?"

On the east bank of Yuehu Lake, the Primordial Energy surrounding the entire villa district had been completely absorbed by Yuyin using the Feather Absorption method in less than an hour.
