25: Chapter 25 Cultivation Improvement

Since the decision was made, Ning Yuan naturally needed to understand the situation of the Treasure Pavilion clearly.

Ning Yuan asked, "Where is this Treasure Pavilion located? Is there any danger inside?"

Mu Qingyao said slowly, "The Treasure Pavilion has seven floors, and there are Formations at the entrance of each floor..."

Next, Mu Qingyao explained the layout of the Treasure Pavilion in detail, as well as various Formation traps.

Mu Qingyao was merely a Saintess, yet she knew a restricted area like the Treasure Pavilion like the back of her hand; one could imagine how high her status in the Qingyun Sect was.

However, it wasn't surprising; her maternal grandfather was the Sect Master, and her father was also the Sect Master. With such a status, few in the Qingyun Sect could compare to her.

As Mu Qingyao spoke, Ning Yuan's understanding of the Treasure Pavilion became clearer, and he knew how dangerous it was inside.

Even if a Nascent Soul Cultivator tried to force their way in, it would only be a dead end.

Time also passed bit by bit, and the explanation soon reached its end. At this time, Mu Qingyao silently added a sentence:

"Your cultivation is still too weak, and it will be very dangerous next. This pool contains thousand-year stone milk, which can help you quickly increase your cultivation!"

Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Ning Yuan's eyes, but he soon realized something and couldn't help but hesitate:

"Fairy Mu! Didn't you want to use the pool to nourish your Physical Body?"

Mu Qingyao shook her head, a hint of an unnoticeable blush flashing across her face, and said softly:

"Previously, I needed to nourish my Physical Body because I hadn't awakened yet. Now that I'm awake, it's naturally no longer needed!"

At the moment of her death, her mother had immediately soaked her in the pool and then, at the cost of her own life, preserved a wisp of her remnant soul.

This wisp of remnant soul, after years and months of dual nourishment from the Physical Body and the thousand-year stone milk, had finally recovered to its current state, but resurrection was still far off.

Now, letting Ning Yuan soak in the pool gave her a strange feeling no matter how she thought about it, as if Ning Yuan were soaking together with her.

But this was just her own illusion, so she didn't say anything more.

Ning Yuan wouldn't know about this matter either; after all, from the first moment he saw Mu Qingyao, she had been sitting cross-legged by the pool, so he naturally assumed she had always been like that.

After getting the answer he wanted, Ning Yuan naturally wasn't polite; he directly took off his clothes and jumped into the pool, splashing a large amount of water.

"Scoundrel!"

Seeing Ning Yuan even take off his clothes, Mu Qingyao cursed in her heart, her eyes flashing with shame and annoyance. She completely hadn't expected him to act this way.

Mu Qingyao quickly turned her head away; since things had come to this, she could only try to put it out of her mind.

But she couldn't help but peek curiously, then immediately withdraw her gaze, and then... this cycle repeated many times before she finally stopped.

Ning Yuan naturally didn't know about her little actions; at this moment, he was fully immersed in Cultivate.

The large amount of spiritual energy contained in the thousand-year stone milk was continuously entering his limbs and bones, and then entering his Dantian through the Meridians.

Boom!

Not long after, Ning Yuan's cultivation Breakthrough from the Foundation Establishment Early Stage to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and the aura on his body suddenly surged.

Ning Yuan had no intention of stopping and continued to Cultivate; it would be best if he could directly Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.

Time passed quickly during Cultivate. While Ning Yuan was peacefully Cultivating, a world-shaking change occurred outside... Qingyun Mountain Range.

At this time, a large number of Cultivators gathered in the Qingyun Mountain Range again, their momentum completely incomparable to the last time.

This time the Legacy land appeared, and the top forces of the entire Qingzhou were paying attention; any slight disturbance would be immediately known by them.

Just recently, they discovered that the Cultivators of their own forces were continuously falling, including Nascent Soul Cultivators.

This was completely different from the usual killing for treasure; they were dying in large numbers, so something unusual must have happened inside.

How could they sit still? They immediately sent people to the Qingyun Mountain Range to understand the situation.

After arriving, they were dumbfounded because they couldn't get in. They tried everything they could, but it was all in vain.

The entire Legacy land was enveloped in a huge Formation, which could be described as impregnable.

This meant that they had completely lost contact with the people inside.

They didn't know what was happening inside!

Similarly, they couldn't launch any rescues and could only watch helplessly as their own Cultivators continued to fall.

Especially the Iron Blood Sect and the Divine Sword Sect; even Nascent Soul Cultivators had come, but they still had no way.

A Middle-aged Man wearing a blood-red robe, whose face bore some resemblance to Tie Xiong, turned to look at the grey-robed old man beside him.

"Old Ghost Jian! What do you think of this matter?"

Divine Sword didn't care at all about the blood-robed man's address for him and reached out to stroke his beard:

"We can only wait! There is no other way! Unless you can invite a Void Refining Cultivator!"

If I could have invited a Void Refining Cultivator, the Divine Sword Sect would have been destroyed long ago; would I have waited until now?

The blood-robed man, who was also the Sect Master Tie Xue, snorted coldly upon hearing this, and his face also darkened, after which he spoke no more.

His son was inside, but he had no way to help, which made Sect Master Tie Xue anxious.

In fact, Divine Sword was also anxious in his heart, but he had no way either. Now he could only wait; he didn't believe the Formation could remain closed forever.

As long as the Formation opened, he would have a way to save people; he still had this much confidence.

Moreover, it also involved the Qingyun Sect!

...Inside the Grotto.

Ning Yuan didn't know yet that because of the changes in the Legacy land, even two Nascent Soul Cultivators had been attracted there.

After a day and a night of Cultivate, Ning Yuan's cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment Peak, only one step away from Core Formation.

If it weren't for the fact that Core Formation took too long, Ning Yuan would have wanted to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage before going out.

Ning Yuan leaped out of the pool, quickly put on his clothes, and came before Mu Qingyao.

Ning Yuan, whose cultivation had broken through, was full of confidence, the smile on the corners of his mouth unstoppable: "Can we go to the Treasure Pavilion now?"

Mu Qingyao now wished she could give him a kick. What was so great about a mere Foundation Establishment Peak cultivation? Someone who didn't know better would think you were about to achieve Ascension.

Mu Qingyao said with some dissatisfaction: "You aren't even a Golden Core yet, what is there to be proud of! The most taboo thing in cultivation is being arrogant and conceited!"

Ning Yuan also knew he was getting a bit ahead of himself, so he didn't intend to argue and quickly restrained the expression on his face.

At the same time, he bowed humbly and said: "Thank you for the teaching, this Junior will keep it in mind!"

Seeing Ning Yuan realize his mistake so quickly, Mu Qingyao didn't pursue it further, but instead spoke of another matter: "Before leaving, you also need to preserve my Physical Body!"

A hint of surprise couldn't help but flash in Ning Yuan's eyes: "Has the Fairy not recovered yet?"

Mu Qingyao was also stunned; when did she ever say she had recovered?

For a moment, the Grotto fell silent, with only the sound of water droplets echoing.

"In other words, I have to do everything for the upcoming actions by myself?" Finally, Ning Yuan spoke first, but his face was extremely unsightly, and the pride from his recent cultivation Breakthrough had vanished.

"Yes! Do you still expect me?" Mu Qingyao said as a matter of course, as if she hadn't seen Ning Yuan's expression.
