CHAPTER 114: 114 CULTIVATION

Tan Shaoting knew this had quite an impact on Su Yuanyuan, so he didn’t say anything. He smiled and went to start the fire.

Now Su Yuanyuan was left alone. She felt a sense of relief.

She actually regretted it now. Having her spirit measured indicated she acknowledged the existence of Spiritual Energy.

But there was no way to deny it. After all, he was able to mention the Spiritual Spring Water, which meant he knew she gave it to the donkey to drink.

Su Yuanyuan knew that if she didn’t admit it herself, he would find a way to make her admit it or directly take it out.

That would be too passive and of no benefit to her. It would be better to feign ignorance so that he would not be wary of her.

Additionally, she didn’t know whether his space was better than hers. In any case, she would never fully reveal her own space to him.

When the water boiled, Su Yuanyuan had finished making the dumplings.

Half an hour later, the two of them were eating dumplings. Su Yuanyuan, feeling startled from earlier events, only ate a bowl and then sat down to drink dumpling soup while watching Tan Shaoting eat.

This guy really could eat; while she had only one bowl, he had at least four.

"So satisfying, delicious."

Su Yuanyuan didn’t know what to say.

Tan Shaoting took the initiative to wash the dishes and clean up the table.

When both of them were sitting on the kang, Tan Shaoting took out a Cultivation Technique and handed it to Su Yuanyuan, signaling her to look at it.

Su Yuanyuan took it and looked at it, not knowing how to open it.

"Place it on your forehead to sense it."

Su Yuanyuan sensed it for a long while but felt nothing, looking at Tan Shaoting in confusion.

"Alright. You don’t have Divine Sense yet. I’ll write it down for you, and when you enter the Qi Refinement Realm and have Divine Sense, you can look at it yourself."

This Cultivation Technique is best for her to see by herself.

As he finished speaking, paper and pen appeared in his hand, and he wrote down the introductory Cultivation Technique for Su Yuanyuan.

He knew the characters in this world were different from those in his past world, so he used the characters from this world.

Su Yuanyuan took a look, completely unable to understand it.

Tan Shaoting then explained it to her word by word, sentence by sentence.

After going over it three times, Su Yuanyuan understood it.

"Alright, take out the Spiritual Spring Water. We can drink it and then cultivate according to the Cultivation Technique."

Su Yuanyuan didn’t hesitate and went to fetch two cups, bringing in two cups of Spiritual Spring Water, handing one to Tan Shaoting.

Tan Shaoting took it, feeling the ample Spiritual Energy, and felt quite excited.

"You come up here too, drink it and meditate. Follow the Cultivation Technique." Having said this, he drank the Spiritual Spring Water in one gulp and sat cross-legged with closed eyes.

Seeing his movements, Su Yuanyuan also got on the kang. She followed Tan Shaoting’s movements.

Surprisingly, she very quickly went into meditation. I have to say, it is indeed very comfortable this way.

Tan Shaoting, having been a Golden Core Cultivator before, had this Cultivation Technique ingrained in his heart, so entering the First Layer of Qi Refinement was very quick.

He opened his eyes happily, only to smell a stench, quickly removed his cotton clothes, and used a Dust Removal Spell on himself, becoming clean in an instant.

On the other side, the little girl was surprisingly also breaking through to the First Layer, truly an excellent Spirit Root. A mortal who had never cultivated, being able to break through to the First Layer so quickly, was really enviable. Back then, it took him two months to reach the First Layer of Qi Refinement.

There was really no comparison. Without doing anything else, he didn’t disturb Su Yuanyuan and closed his eyes to continue meditating. He felt a bit pressured now.

As for Su Yuanyuan, she just felt extremely comfortable, suddenly sensing that she could see the courtyard even with her eyes closed. Wasn’t this Divine Sense, as Tan Shaoting mentioned? Did she really cultivate it?

Her body felt lighter than ever, and she felt filled with strength, truly a novel experience.

What smelled so bad? She opened her eyes to see Tan Shaoting on the opposite side looking at her with open eyes as well.

"Congratulations. You are now a cultivator at the First Layer of Qi Refinement."

Su Yuanyuan smiled, gagging slightly at the smell.

Tan Shaoting laughed, gesturing something to Su Yuanyuan, making her feel no longer greasy.

She still felt uncomfortable. No, she had to take a bath.

Tan Shaoting knew that Su Yuanyuan expelled fewer impurities than he did, which was probably due to her frequently drinking Spiritual Spring Water.

He handed Su Yuanyuan the Jade Scroll of Cultivation Techniques, and also a Jade Scroll of small spells.

"You just reached the First Layer of Qi Refinement, you can look at some spells now. But some can’t be practiced yet. Wait till you reach the third layer, then you can do all of them."

"Thank you. I want to take a bath."

Tan Shaoting was momentarily stunned, then nodded with a smile, "Then I’ll head back first. I won’t ask you for Spiritual Spring Water for separate cultivation, but we both must practice together."

Saying this, a few exquisite Jade Bottles appeared in his hand. "These Jade Bottles are Qiankun Bottles, capable of holding ten cubic meters of water."

Su Yuanyuan felt tempted; such good things. Using these to hold water, you could store a lot. But can you really accept someone else’s gift for free?

Tan Shaoting found her conflicted expression rather amusing.

"Accept it. It’s my gratitude to you, and I’m not asking you for a bottle of Spiritual Spring Water. In future, let’s just cultivate together, one cup every day."

Afraid the little girl would overthink, he quickly shared his thoughts.

Su Yuanyuan finally bit her lip and accepted it.

Su Yuanyuan sensed Tan Shaoting left her home, walking about ten meters before he disappeared from her senses.

She immediately entered her space, her OCD flaring up again.

A nice comfortable bath, already past two in the morning, but she didn’t feel sleepy at all.

Looking at the Cultivation Technique again, she remembered it clearly; such a good memory.

Then she looked at the Jade Scroll with small spells. She committed to memory a few small spells that could now be learned. Once she rose, she didn’t go out, practicing directly in her space.

When she mastered these small spells, although not yet fluent, she could cast them.

How long was she in her space? Upon leaving, it was broad daylight.

This made Su Yuanyuan happy since before, she used to be kicked out after two hours. Could this mean she can now stay in the space for longer periods?

After her excitement, she felt hungry. She quickly took out a bowl of beef noodles, eating heartily.

After her meal, she quickly started a fire. But today, she didn’t feel cold. Is this the benefit of cultivation?

After feeding the sheep, she returned to the kang to continue cultivating.

This is addictive. It’s truly very comfortable, something she had never felt before.

But sitting on the kang, she couldn’t feel anything, couldn’t get into the cultivation state. It seemed the Spiritual Spring Water was the key to cultivation.

So she drank a cup of water, sat there meditating, and felt the Cultivation Technique in operation. She quickly calmed her emotions and focused on cultivating.
