Luo Ci Goes Crazy

A beam of white light shot out from the sky, which was like a black curtain hanging upside down.

The powerful oppressive pressure and force impacted the fine lightning, tearing the lightning net outlined by the Thunder Snake Flower into two halves.

Lin Qi's spiritual energy in her dantian was also drained in an instant.

She propped herself up with her sword in one hand, gasping for breath.

"I succeeded!"

Lin Qi had worked hard for so long, and she was very confident that she would succeed in the end.

However, the moment the Ice Phoenix phantom rushed out of the night, an indescribable joy surged within her.

After recovering her stamina for a while, Lin Qi put away the wooden sword in her hand.

"As expected of a divine art. Using one move almost emptied my dantian. It seems I'll have to use it cautiously in the future."

Otherwise, after using this move, she wouldn't even have the ability to protect herself.

After Lin Qi stopped, the backyard fell silent. The Thunder Snake Flowers on one side were now listless, as if they would wither and die the next second.

Lin Qi retracted her veil, and the contrast between the Thunder Snake Flowers on both sides was exceptionally stark.

She clapped her hands and snorted, "You wanted to electrocute me? Now it's my turn to bully you!"

Using the Thunder Snake Flower's attack to stimulate herself into using Scattered Phoenix Shadow Dance was just an immature idea of Lin Qi's.

She had always been bold and started to implement her ideas as soon as she had them.

She didn't expect to succeed on her first try.

Lin Qi returned to the training room with satisfaction. After stuffing herself with a few snacks, she started exploring the Underground Palace.

When she was in the Lübing Abyss, Chen En and Tan Yueqing were by her side, and it wasn't convenient to enter the Underground Palace in front of them, so Lin Qi put the matter of the Underground Palace aside and focused on her cultivation.

Speaking of which, it had been so long since she had entered the Underground Palace.

With a thought, Lin Qi appeared in the Underground Palace.

This place hadn't changed at all. Lin Qi skillfully walked to the desk, picked up the brush beside it, and began to draw on the scroll.

Her dantian's spiritual energy had increased several times over. She should be able to draw a complete character now, right?

Spiritual energy flowed from her dantian to the tip of the brush. Lin Qi's mind was as calm as water as she calmly controlled the brush's movement.

One stroke fell, then another, and a faint glow began to appear on the scroll.

Just as she was about to finish, Lin Qi relaxed slightly, and her spiritual energy lost control, beginning to dissipate in all directions.

The character on the scroll, which was almost formed, instantly dimmed and disappeared.

Lin Qi sighed, "Do I really have talent in Talisman Crafting? I've been practicing a first-tier Burst Thunder Talisman for so long, and I can't even write the first character."

Lin Qi counted on her fingers how long she had been practicing, ignoring the fifteen days in the Lübing Abyss.

Alright, she hadn't practiced for that long.

After being restless for a while, Lin Qi took a Spirit Replenishing Pill and picked up the brush to continue writing.

This time, she successfully drew the first character.

But a Burst Thunder Talisman had a total of five characters!

Lin Qi was patient and also had a stubborn personality. She picked up her brush, placed the Spirit Replenishing Pill aside, and prepared to fight all night.

She stayed up all night, and Lin Qi felt as if her head had been drained. Fatigue slowly crept in from all directions.

This was the first time she had felt this way after staying up late.

It seemed there was quite a difference between staying up late to cultivate and staying up late to craft talismans.

Lin Qi rubbed her head, stuffed a handful of mint leaves into her mouth, and instantly felt refreshed.

She carried her small wooden sword and walked out, just as she encountered Luo Ci, who was still groggy.

"Senior Sister Two, good morning!" Luo Ci said with a bright, sunny smile.

Lin Qi replied slowly, "Morning!"

She still looked a bit aloof.

Luo Ci knew this was because Lin Qi was slow to react, so he simply spoke concisely and didn't mind.

The two of them walked together towards the stone steps. Lin Qi didn't expect to actually see Senior Sister Yuan Xi there.

Even from a distance, she happily ran over to Senior Sister Yuan Xi.

Luo Ci was left behind and couldn't help but feel dejected seeing Lin Qi's expression change instantly.

So she wasn't aloof, she was just treating people differently!

Lin Qi ignored Luo Ci's slight grievance and happily asked Senior Sister Yuan Xi for guidance on her confusion.

As they talked, Lin Qi demonstrated, and Senior Sister Yuan Xi adjusted her posture from the side.

After practicing sword techniques for a few rounds, Lin Qi and Luo Ci prepared to go down the mountain to find something to eat.

Senior Sister Yuan Xi had something to do, so she didn't go down the mountain with them this time.

Luo Ci finally found an opening to ask Lin Qi.

"Last night, I saw a white light shoot out from above your backyard, and I vaguely heard the cry of a phoenix. You weren't sleeping in the middle of the night, were you practicing some kind of spell?!"

Lin Qi: "You saw that?"

Luo Ci nodded frantically and asked with soul-piercing intensity, "Are you working hard behind my back at night too?!"

Lin Qi feigned surprise and said, "What do you mean 'working hard behind my back'? The night is long, isn't it meant for cultivation?"

She retorted, "Don't you cultivate at night?"

Luo Ci stared at Lin Qi, dumbfounded, and couldn't help but swallow.

He said in a weak voice, asking cautiously, "Shouldn't nighttime be for sleeping?"

Lin Qi glanced at him, giving Luo Ci a look to figure it out himself, and lightly stepped up the stairs.

Luo Ci followed behind blankly, feeling as if his feet were floating, a little unreal.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Lin Qi felt she was a tiny bit cruel and, wanting to comfort Luo Ci, heard a scream.

A black shadow whipped past her like the wind.

She froze, only managing to catch Luo Ci's terrified expression and his falling figure.

Lin Qi couldn't fly on her sword, so she could only loudly comfort Luo Ci, "It's okay, you'll be fine with the jade token's protection!"

Amidst the vast and deep mountain peaks, Lin Qi vaguely heard a desperate cry for help.

Her hand trembled slightly.

Well, I should go easy on him next time.

If she kept tormenting him, Lin Qi wasn't sure Luo Ci would grow up healthy.

By the time Lin Qi found Luo Ci at the foot of the mountain, he was sitting there with a gloomy and sorrowful expression, as if he had suffered an unbearable blow.

Lin Qi pursed her lips and went to comfort him, "Junior Brother..."

Luo Ci turned his head abruptly, his eyes bursting with resolute light, as if he had made some heart-wrenching decision.

"Nighttime is for cultivation!"

Lin Qi: "Uh... Junior Brother, you didn't hit your head and get dumb, did you?"

Luo Ci got up from the ground, patted his butt, his small face full of determination.

"When I came to the sect, my mother told me that cultivators can't be afraid of hardship or fatigue. From today on, I won't sleep at night either. Cultivation!"

The last two words were almost squeezed from between his teeth, showing how determined Luo Ci was at that moment.

"Junior Brother, I already said I have reasons why I have to work hard. You don't need to be so harsh on yourself."

Luo Ci, however, seemed not to hear her, muttering "cultivation" repeatedly as he headed towards Tianyi Peak.

Lin Qi followed behind him. Seeing that Luo Ci could move freely and seemed fine, she felt relieved.

After finishing their meal, Lin Qi's gaze swept over Xu Ying, who was passionately addressing a table of people.

This time, the crowd around her was twice as large as last time.
