Chapter 4: A Late Night Visit
1527 Words
In the stillness of the night， Luo Ling lay in bed， her mind filled with thoughts of the upcoming duel in a month. Suddenly， a soft knock on the door interrupted the silence， followed by the familiar voice of Yun Ni:“Disciple， I have prepared something special for you.“
Luo Ling quickly got up and opened the door， seeing Yun Ni standing there with a somewhat complex expression.“Master， why are you here so late?“ Luo Ling asked， puzzled.
Yun Ni sighed softly as she walked into the room and gestured for Luo Ling to sit down.“The reason I haven't taught you any new skills these past two years is because I've been collecting a top-tier spiritual liquid for you— the Heavenly Spirit Liquid. This liquid is crucial for your future cultivation. After consuming it， the techniques you've been practicing will experience a qualitative boost， and you'll be more likely to manifest a spiritual body.“
Luo Ling was stunned upon hearing this. So， her master had been preparing this for her all these years.“Master， you have worked so hard for me，“ she said gratefully.
Yun Ni smiled faintly， her eyes filled with expectation and affection for Luo Ling:“You are the disciple I value most， and of course， I hope you can go further.“
Luo Ling took a deep breath and decided to show her progress. She stood up， gathering her spiritual energy around her， gradually forming a hazy outline of a spiritual body. When Yun Ni saw this， her eyes widened in shock.
“You... you've already managed to form a spiritual body?“ Yun Ni's voice was filled with disbelief. She had originally thought that Luo Ling would need the Heavenly Spirit Liquid's help to reach this stage.
Luo Ling nodded，“Yes， Master. I had a breakthrough recently， by chance.“
Yun Ni's heart surged with waves of emotion. Luo Ling's talent exceeded her expectations. This was not only an increase in power but also a testament to her mental acuity and comprehension. She couldn't help but silently think，“This child's future is limitless.“
She concealed her inner excitement and continued，“I just gathered all the necessary materials yesterday， and today， I encountered Bi Yao's challenge. It seems that this upcoming competition is not just a challenge but also an opportunity for you.“
Luo Ling understood her master's meaning. This competition would be her stage to showcase her strength and an opportunity to bring glory to her master.
She nodded firmly，“Master， I will do my best.“
Yun Ni looked at Luo Ling， a glimmer of warmth and expectation in her eyes.“I believe in you， Luo Ling. Remember， no matter the outcome， you will always be my pride.“
As the night deepened， under Yun Ni's guidance， Luo Ling prepared to take the precious Tian Ling Liquid.
Yun Ni sternly reminded her，“The spiritual energy of the Tian Ling Liquid is too powerful. Your body isn't capable of fully withstanding it yet. Without me suppressing your spiritual energy， you might explode and die.“
Luo Ling nodded， understanding that this breakthrough was not only an opportunity but also a great risk. She took a deep breath， preparing herself to face the challenge.
Yun Ni took out a small vial from her storage ring， the liquid inside emitting a soft glow， as if countless stars were flickering within it. She poured the liquid into a bucket of prepared herbal bath， and the color of the bath instantly turned deep and mysterious.
“This herbal bath I’ve prepared for you will help you better absorb the effects of the Heavenly Spirit Liquid and reduce the damage caused by the spiritual energy shock，” Yun Ni explained.
Luo Ling removed her outer robe and gently stepped into the herbal bath. The temperature of the liquid was just right， bringing a strange yet comforting sensation. She closed her eyes， ready to accept the baptism of the Heavenly Spirit Liquid.
Watching her disciple’s graceful figure， Yun Ni thought to herself，“How has this girl developed so quickly? It’s only been a year， and she’s almost taller than me now， still so well-formed.” The more she thought about it， the redder her face became， especially with Luo Ling’s gentle reminders.
Yun Ni formed hand seals， and spiritual energy flowed like silk threads from her fingers， forming a transparent energy shield that enveloped Luo Ling.“Now， slowly absorb the power of the spirit liquid. I will help you suppress it.”
Luo Ling began to circulate her spiritual energy as instructed by Yun Ni. The power of the spirit liquid surged into her meridians like a tidal wave， bringing an indescribable sense of fullness and pressure.
Her body began to tremble slightly as the spiritual energy churned within her， but the energy shield formed by Yun Ni firmly suppressed it， preventing the power from going out of control.
As time passed， Luo Ling’s body gradually adapted to the impact of the spiritual energy. Her own spiritual power began to merge with the power from the Heaven Spirit Liquid， forming a new and more advanced form of spiritual energy.
A smile of satisfaction appeared on Yun Ni’s face， knowing that Luo Ling was undergoing a transformation.
“Very good， keep it up，” Yun Ni encouraged softly.
Luo Ling gritted her teeth， enduring the tearing pain in her body as she felt the changes within her spiritual energy. She knew that this breakthrough would lay a solid foundation for her future cultivation.
With the help of the medicinal bath， her spiritual body became clearer， and her spiritual energy purer.
Finally， the fusion of spiritual energy reached a critical point. Luo Ling felt as though she had broken through a certain boundary， and the flow of energy within her body became smoother.
She opened her eyes， and the protective energy barrier dissipated.
Yun Ni looked at Luo Ling， her eyes filled with admiration:“You did very well. Now， your spiritual body is more stable， and your spiritual energy has reached a new level.”
Luo Ling stood up from the medicinal bath， feeling the surging power within her. She knew that all of this was a gift from her master. She deeply bowed:“Thank you， Master.”
Looking at her disciple’s full and rounded form， Yun Ni turned her face away， feeling awkward. She said，“Remember， this increase is just the beginning. The upcoming challenges will be faced with a completely new you.”
Just as Luo Ling was about to say something， a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from her body， causing the bath tub to explode.
The spiritual energy surged like a flood， instantly shattering the medicinal bath tub. The medicinal liquid splashed everywhere， some of it landing on Yun Ni， soaking her delicate gown completely.
Yun Ni’s robe， already as thin as a cicada’s wing， clung tightly to her body after being drenched by the liquid， outlining her perfect curves. Her figure appeared particularly seductive under the moonlight， and the wet fabric revealed the smoothness of her skin and the gentle contours of her body.
However， at this moment， Yun Ni had no time to care about these things. She quickly realized that Luo Ling was at a critical juncture in her breakthrough and immediately warned，“Luo Ling， focus and make the breakthrough!”
She quickly cast a spell， and spiritual energy flew out from her fingertips like ribbons， sealing the surrounding space and completely hiding the aura of Luo Ling’s breakthrough.
The surrounding space seemed to be isolated， forming a small， independent world.
Under Yun Ni’s guidance， Luo Ling quickly entered a strange state. Her spiritual energy churned within her body， and the spiritual power in her meridians surged like a river， constantly flowing.
She felt as if she were standing on the edge of a new realm， and with a single leap， she could cross over.
The process of the breakthrough was filled with both pain and joy， as the spiritual energy formed rings of light within and around her body， illuminating the entire sealed space.
Delicate spiritual patterns began to appear on her skin. Each line shimmered with light， as if telling the story of the tremendous changes happening inside her body.
Here's the translation:
Yun Ni stood by， her soaked robe clinging tightly to her body， outlining her mature and alluring figure.
Although she was drenched in the medicinal liquid， her gaze remained focused on Luo Ling， her eyes filled with anticipation and concern.
Finally， Luo Ling's spiritual power reached a new level. She felt as if she had broken through her previous limitations， her spiritual energy purer and her spiritual body more solid. She opened her eyes， and spiritual light flashed from them， making her appear even more sacred and powerful.
Yun Ni released the seal and softly said，“Your breakthrough was even smoother than I expected. You've already reached the realm of Yuling. Congratulations， you have officially entered the path of cultivation.“
