Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, nearly three months had passed since Xu Chunniang entered the high-grade Ascension Platform.
During the first month, she maintained a daily expenditure of one thousand immortal crystals and cultivated diligently.
By the second month, she had gradually adapted to such intensity and slowly increased her daily limit of immortal crystal consumption. In the end, it stabilized at two thousand immortal crystals per day.
At this point, her cultivation speed was equivalent to two hundred times that of an ordinary person, but for Xu Chunniang, who cultivated the Supreme Carefree Heart Sutra, it was merely a twentyfold increase—far from her limit.
It was not that she had not tried cultivating faster. Yet after repeated experiments, she found that her current pace suited her best. Any faster, and the cultivation she gained would only be a castle in the air, collapsing at the slightest poke.
Over the next two months, she maintained this pace, cultivating day and night without pause.
Washed by an ocean of Immortal Qi, the Dao Fruit within Xu Chunniang's body finally ceased to remain utterly motionless and began to grow at a slow pace.
After growing so slowly for nearly three months, the tiny Dao Fruit had expanded several times over, and the profound aura it emitted became ever more unfathomable.
