Chapter 7: Guidance from Senior Sister
1232 Words
As night fell， moonlight poured into Luoling's courtyard like water， and Fengwu was sitting by the stone table， holding a cup of tea in her hand， elegantly sipping it.
The aroma of tea permeated the night breeze， bringing a sense of tranquility. Luoling walked out of the house and saw this scene， her heart filled with gratitude and respect.
She knew that she would never forget the life-saving grace of her senior sister， Fengwu， for the rest of her life.
Fengwu saw Luoling and smiled slightly， using her spiritual power to form a transparent barrier between them:“Loling， maintain your distance and sit in the spiritual array. Today， I will teach you how to purify and compress spiritual energy.“
Loling followed Fengwu's instructions and sat inside the spiritual array. The patterns of the array shimmered under the moonlight， forming a small vortex of spiritual energy， which helped Luoling more easily sense the flow of spiritual energy.
Fengwu began to explain in detail:“The purification and compression of spiritual energy require complete focus and an understanding of the essence of spiritual energy. You must learn to remove impurities and make the spiritual energy more concentrated.“
As she explained， she fed Luoling some pills that would consolidate her foundation and enhance her cultivation. These pills traced an arc in the air and landed accurately in Luoling's palm.
Following Fengwu's guidance， Luoling began to attempt to purify and compress her spiritual energy. Her mind immersed itself within her body， sensing the flow of spiritual energy through her meridians， gradually removing impurities.
After some effort， she finally mastered the technique and felt her spiritual energy become purer and more powerful.
The spiritual energy formed a ball of light in her Dantian， illuminating her internal vision.
“Very good， you have reached the initial level of the Lingxue Sword Heart Manual，“ Fengwu nodded approvingly， a glimmer of relief in her eyes.
Loling excitedly opened her eyes， feeling the changes in her spiritual energy， and couldn't help but ask，“Senior sister， how did you save me today?“
Fengwu chuckled lightly，“I possess the Phoenix Fire Spirit Body， which naturally has flame within me， capable of dispelling cold energy.“
Upon hearing this， Luoling's heart skipped a beat， and she couldn't help but think:“Then isn't senior sister always warm all over? Wouldn't it be incredibly comfortable to sleep with her in the winter nights?“ Unconsciously， such a scene emerged in her mind.
Fengwu seemed to see through Luoling's thoughts and smiled slightly:“You little rascal， what are you thinking about? However， since you're so curious， let me tell you that the Phoenix Fire Spirit Body indeed brings warmth， but it's not something just anyone can enjoy.“
Loling's face turned red， knowing her little scheme had been seen through， but she also knew that Fengwu's care and guidance were sincere.
She bowed her head gratefully，“Thank you， senior sister， I will cultivate diligently.“
Fengwu stood up， walked to Luoling's side， rubbed her head， and patted her shoulder gently:“Remember， the path of cultivation is long and arduous， but you have me， you have our master， and you have our entire sect behind you.“
Loling， after hearing her senior sister's words， buried her head in Fengwu's chest and shouted，“Thank you， senior sister! I love you the most. When I reach the Guiyi realm in the future， let's see who dares to bully us.“
Fengwu smiled with relief and rubbed Luoling's head again， saying，“It's getting late， and I should head back. You should solidify your foundation and don't rush into cultivation again. If you have any questions， ask me， or if it's beyond me， seek guidance from our master.“ Then she levitated her sword and flew away.
Watching her senior sister's impressive figure， Luoling thought to herself，“When I reach the Guiyi realm， I'm going to hold senior sister every night， hehehehe.“
In the blink of an eye， only five days were left until the competition.
Loling had already cultivated the “Lingxue Sword Heart Manual“ to the intermediate stage， practicing the chopping and slashing with her spiritual energy controlling the Jiuyou Po Tian Sword.
Her mastery of the sword technique was becoming more and more proficient， and she quietly raised her realm to the middle stage of Yunling， a fact she had not shared with either her master or her senior sister.
Thinking of her opponent in a few days， Luoling grew more confident， determined not to bring shame to her master and senior sister.
She controlled the Jiuyou Sword to exert force suddenly， slicing towards the huge boulder in front of her with a gust of cold wind.
With a loud crash， the stone split vertically into two halves， demonstrating her precise control over the sword technique. After accomplishing this， Luoling sheathed her sword with satisfaction and left.
As soon as Luoling left， a seductive woman dressed in a black robe appeared on a vacant plot not far away.
She slightly curled her lips and sneered，“Middle stage of Yunling realm， huh? And even cultivated a spiritual body. No wonder she's a genius with a celestial physique. But I， Lan Xin， am not someone to be underestimated. I really look forward to the duel in five days. I will make you realize that even with a celestial physique， you are no match for me， hmph.“
After speaking， Lan Xin contemptuously glanced at the split boulder and turned to leave. Her figure gradually blurred in the night and eventually disappeared deep into the woods. Her presence and departure were silent， as if she had never been there at all.
At this moment， Luoling had already returned to her residence and continued to cultivate quietly. She was unaware that after her departure， her strength had been observed by a future opponent.
The name Lan Xin did not ring any bells in Luoling's memory， but the upcoming duel seemed to foreshadow an inevitable conflict.
Loling took a deep breath， determined to redouble her efforts. She knew that only by continuously enhancing her strength could she remain invincible in the upcoming competition.
She began to follow the guidance of her senior sister， Fengwu， to further purify and compress her spiritual energy. Each attempt brought her closer to perfection.
On the other side， Lan Xin returned to her own residence. Her room was filled with various spiritual medicines and magical tools， indicating that she was also preparing for the upcoming competition.
A cold smile played on her face，“Loling， your potential is indeed astonishing， but I will not let you win easily. In five days， I will make you understand that true strength is not about talent， but about combat experience and strategy.“
With a gentle flick of her fingers through the air， a flash of spiritual light danced as Lan Xin began to set up a complex spiritual array.
Her movements were smooth and confident， each step filled with faith in her own strength.
Her preparation was not only for winning the competition but also to prove her position in the heart of her master.
In these brief five days， the fates of the two would intersect.
And this intersection was not just a contest of strength but also a clash of two peaks.
