Xu Chunniang deeply realized that cultivation was the foundation of everything.
Back when her cultivation had been low, merely creating one piece of Spirit Soil had taken her a full two months.
Now that her cultivation had improved, she could make six pieces of Spirit Soil within a month, increasing her efficiency more than tenfold.
With her Fifth Layer of Qi Condensation cultivation, she could be said to be leaving the Outer Sect Disciples who had entered at the same time as her far behind in the dust.
But Xu Chunniang had not forgotten that among the inner sect disciples who had come on the day of the great examination, many possessed no weak cultivation.
At the time, Xu Chunniang had only been at the Fourth Layer of Qi Condensation. She had merely sensed that many people's cultivation was deeper than hers; as for whether they were at the Fifth Layer or sixth level Qi Condensation, she did not know.
"Work hard to raise my cultivation and reach Foundation Establishment as soon as possible!"
Xu Chunniang drew a deep breath and threw herself heart and soul into cultivation. Even the talisman arts she had originally planned to study were temporarily set aside.
Apart from her unwavering Spiritual Rain Technique three times each day—morning, noon, and night—and the Earth Moistening Technique she cast on the spirit field every week, Xu Chunniang devoted all her time to cultivation.
The Fifth Layer of Qi Condensation required an enormous amount of spiritual energy. Even with the help of Spirit Soil, breaking through in cultivation was not something that could be accomplished in a short time.
Three months later, Xu Chunniang had finished all her Grain Abstinence Pills.
She went to the Dining Hall and bought an entire year's worth in one go.
