se before the autumn harvest, so the whole family can move into the new house by winter.This was something that Song Dachuan's family had been looking forward to for a long time. Lianyi personally dre...This red wisp of spiritual energy sank into the rippling skin and directly entered her meridians. Then it began to wander within the meridians, unlike the Lei Ling power point which had passed through her body.

The ripples unconsciously revealed a smile. It seemed that she had a fire spiritual root, which was good news. At least it proved that she could cultivate.

Before the fasting pill lost its effect, Lian Yi had tried to attract other spiritual energy points into her body one after another, but all ended in failure. Finally, she determined that her current body was a single fire spirit root. She let out a sigh of relief because in a world where spiritual energy was so thin, a single spirit root was actually more beneficial for cultivation.

"Glug, glug," the sound rippled her out of meditation. She knew ten days had passed. Though she'd absorbed five fire spirit energy points, she was far from reaching the threshold for drawing in qi. There was still much to be done.

Ripple went down to the stone bed, moved her stiff body a little, then opened the stone gate and went out to find food. Her current body was still developing and hadn't reached the level of fasting, so she needed to fill her stomach first.

After leaving the meditation hall she used for her practice, Lian'i found a guard and told him that she was hungry.

The guard glanced at Lian Yi and pointed her towards the dining hall.

The canteen was located at the foot of the mountain. When she arrived, it was mealtime, and many children around her age were eating intently. She used the wooden plaque at her waist to collect her meal and began to eat with gusto. However, halfway through her meal, a group of people surrounded her table.

The children eating nearby seemed accustomed to this, and they quickened their pace. Some even hurried away with their bowls of rice, afraid they might be caught in the crossfire.

"Coward, I hear you passed the test and chose your martial arts technique. Let me see what you've chosen."

This time, the boy's voice was slightly low.

Ripples glanced at the other person. The boy was probably sixteen years old, the leader of this group. He had a somewhat ambiguous appearance between male and female. Little girls around him kept looking at his face from time to time, their adoring gazes were impossible to hide.

Unfortunately, Lian Yi doesn't fall for this kind of approach. She can't stand this type of man either, so she speeds up her meal and ignores him completely.

The young man felt offended and reached out to flip her bowl of rice.

Ripple acted swiftly, grabbing the opponent's wrist first. She only used a little force, but the pain caused the opponent to kneel at her feet directly.

A collective gasp filled the air. Apparently, no one had expected the seemingly weak ripple to subdue their leader.

The boy couldn't escape the grip of the ripples. His face flushed with anger, as if he had never been so humiliated before. The hand that was still free clenched into a fist and struck at Ripples' face.

Liàn Yī now had all the rice in the bowl swallowed, just tilting her head slightly to avoid the young man's attack. Then she put down her chopsticks and clenched her fist, striking towards his face.

A fist struck the youth's cheek with a resounding "bang." A tooth mixed with blood flew out of his mouth. The surrounding area fell instantly silent, not even the clatter of bowls and chopsticks could be heard.

Ripple just got up, her slender hand clutching the young man's chin, she stared at his swollen face, and said expressionlessly:

Don't provoke me!

Then he flung the boy directly at his supporters' feet, clapped his hands once, and strolled out of the dining hall.

The person who had been observing from the shadows immediately recorded what happened in the dining hall. It was clear that Ripple had caught his attention.

After returning to the stone room, Lian Yi dismissed the matter from her mind. She sat cross-legged on the stone bed and began cultivating. There were still twenty days left; she had to make sure she passed their so-called assessment.

In the dining hall, a boy who had been knocked back by Ren with a punch, his teeth flying out, was already being dragged away by two guards. This frightened all the children in the dining hall, because in their memory, only those who were eliminated would be dragged away by the guards.

Ripples didn't know, nor did she care, what happened to the boy after leaving the dining hall. She was focused on absorbing the fire spirit energy points, strengthening herself little by little.

Time flew by, and after a month, they were taken away again by the beautiful woman. This time, the six of them headed in the direction of the Cunning Hall once more, but this time they took a different path.

An old man with white hair sat alone guarding a palace. When he saw the beautiful woman, he smiled and spoke for the first time:

"Yun Niang, this time there are some good seedlings again"

"Yes, would you please trouble Elder He to check on them After they chose their cultivation techniques, they have been practicing for a month now."

"Time is still a bit short."

Elder He shook his head.

"Yuniang knows, but this time the timeframe is very tight. They were all prepared specifically for the Wen family."

After bowing respectfully, Yun Niang explained in a low voice.

"I understand, let them come to the back hall one by one."

Elder He waved his hand and said.

"Yes, Elder He."

Yunnang smiled and thanked them, then had the other five wait in the front hall while she brought the number one youth into the back hall. After a moment, number one came out, his face expressionless, and said to number two:

"Now it's your turn to go in."

Number Two nodded and entered the back hall alone. Ripple and the rest waited patiently.

Everyone's time there was different, Ripple was the last to arrive.

Upon entering the inner hall, she saw Yunniang and Elder He both smiling, clearly something had happened to make them happy.

"Number Six, come here, place your hand on top of this crystal ball."

Elder He said to Lianyi.

The moment Ripple saw the crystal ball, she knew it was used by cultivators to measure spiritual roots. She just didn't expect there to be such a thing here.

These thoughts only flashed in her mind for a moment. Following the two's instructions, she placed her hand on the crystal ball. Moments later, the transparent crystal ball turned red, and a bright red lotus flower vaguely appeared within it.

Ripple pretended to be startled and immediately pulled her hand back, then looked at the two with surprised eyes.

After Yunniang and Elder He exchanged glances, they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. Then they turned to Lianyi and said amiably:

"Xiao Liu, please put your hand back on once more."

Ripple pretended to hesitate for a moment, then placed her hand back on the spirit detecting orb. However, no matter how many times she tried, she was still a fire spirit root.

"It seems our luck is in this time, we've finally found two promising candidates."

Master He stroked his snowy white beard and said.

Now it's up to fate.

Yun Niang left the inner palace with Lian Ri, then parted ways with Lian Ri and No. 5, handing them over to a middle-aged handsome man along with the remaining four people.

"From now on, you will follow Elder Yue to cultivate and strive to leave the mountain as soon as possible. Only then can you become a formal member of the Hidden Pavilion and be able to leave the Number One Building in the World to carry out missions."

"Yes!"

Ripple and Number Five immediately replied. As for the other four, the two didn't ask where they went. After all, there would be chances to meet again later.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye. After successfully guiding Qi into her body, Lian Ri had stepped onto the path of cultivation and blossomed into a graceful and beautiful young woman.a number cautiously. """Sir, there's been a slight issue in the lab, but also some good news. We've successfully created a 100% transforming vampire!"And to help her infiltrate the vampire organizati...
