Don't Pull Out Things You Don't Recognize

[Smelt successful. This Smelt yielded the element [Sword].]

"Tsk..." Feng Xue clicked his tongue when he saw the Golden Finger's prompt. Although he could accept the one-third probability except for the weapon, he was still a little disappointed that he didn't get divine punishment.

However, his regret did not last long, because at the same time the sword disappeared, a series of barely perceptible friction sounds suddenly rang in his ears.

The feeling was like something huge was sliding...

"Could it be that whatever was stuck in the sword slipped down?" Feng Xue suddenly regretted not digging any further. Whatever the Divine Punishment Sword could pierce was probably no ordinary item.

Only...

"Damn it!" Feng Xue suddenly felt his feet begin to tremble, and his face immediately darkened. He grabbed his cloak and instantly appeared five or six meters away. However, the impact of the falling thing seemed to be far greater than he had imagined. Not to mention five or six meters away, even the garbage dozens of meters away began to collapse.

Feng Xue was as if he were caught in an avalanche. He tried to Teleportation again, but there was nowhere around him to land.

Unable to Flight Ability, he wanted to learn from the movies and use falling debris as a springboard to jump.

Fortunately, he didn't know any anti-gravity light-foot techniques like stepping on his right foot with his left. At the moment he wanted to jump, he realized that he couldn't jump out of the limit set by the great Newton.

He could only flail about in the air for a couple of moments before falling into an unknown place along with the piles of trash.

However, Feng Xue did not lose consciousness. He opened his eyes wide and kept observing his surroundings. He watched as the garbage on both sides crashed towards him like a tsunami. He flailed his arms, but could not grab anything.

"What a pity. If I still had the Assassin Set, I could have tried the Leap of Faith right away." Feng Xue sighed, gripping her cloak with both hands and adjusting her falling posture.

Although the Assassin Tag includes the full set of knowledge about the Leap of Faith, it's still unknown how useful it will be without unlocking the relevant elements. Not to mention, given that the area is full of trash and the probability of finding a haystack directly below is simply not high.

"Whoosh!"

Feng Xue's figure vanished from her original position in an instant and reappeared on the half-sofas sofa. However, to his disappointment, the Teleportation did not reset the falling speed.

Seeing that her last attempt had failed, Feng Xue reached out and touched the sofa, confirming that it was still relatively soft. She immediately stretched out her body and quietly waited for her "faith" to give her an answer.

"Bang!"

The sofa and Feng Xue's body landed on the ground one after the other. Even after Leap of Faith, Feng Xue couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

Based on his anatomical experience gained during his time as a corpse collector, he knew that he had at least a dozen fractures and more than thirty bone cracks, while soft tissue contusions and internal bleeding were minor issues.

Well, after all, most of the internal organs of a novice are just for show. As long as it doesn't cause death, it's like a character in a play losing blood; it doesn't have much impact on their bodily functions.

However, this was far from the end. As he landed, even more trash rained down like hailstones.

Blanch!

He forcibly grabbed the cloak with his still-intact arm, but this time, he didn't intend to use Teleportation to dodge, or rather, with the falling debris in this range, such an approach was simply impractical.

What he was actually taking advantage of was the characteristic of zero collision volume at the moment of disappearing, when he Ghostly Evasion.

Simply put, by using this brief moment of Teleportation, he can prevent himself from taking physical damage.

In that brief moment, countless pieces of trash were piled up to form a "mountain".

After an unknown amount of time, the tremors finally stopped again. Feng Xue, her body badly mangled, lay in the garbage heap, quietly waiting for the Boots of Silence to heal her.

However, as its description states, the Green Shoes' healing efficiency is unreliable. It can treat superficial wounds and internal organ ruptures in just a few hours, but bone injuries are treated with alarmingly slow speed.

"Hmm... maybe it's because bone injury has a 'disability' effect, while green shoes only restore health?" Feng Xue guessed without any basis, but there was nothing else she could do.

Fortunately, Wu doesn't need to eat or drink, and Feng Xue's [knowledge] reserves are quite sufficient, so it's not impossible for her to lie here until her body is fully recovered.

"It's just a bit boring." Feng Xue looked at the dark and cramped environment, and couldn't even pull out a secret manual to relieve her boredom.

"Looks like besides AoE damage, I also need to consider my movement skills... It would be even better if I had Flying Spell or something."

With nothing to do, Feng Xue began to ponder, but as things became clearer, there was less and less to think about. Eventually, he simply began cultivating in this somewhat distorted posture.

At the beginning, the cultivation process was accompanied by a lot of distracting thoughts, but as time went by, the surrounding silence and her own extreme boredom, all these factors combined to bring Feng Xue closer to Bu Tiange's State of Mind of "purifying the spirit and calming the mind, and being formless", and she entered the state of "stillness" that is difficult for modern people with complicated thoughts to achieve.

This is what is known as Entering Stillness.

At this moment, the physical pain seemed to have completely disappeared. Feng Xue felt as if she were floating under a starry sky, with countless words scattered in the heavens. Those words were like stars, emitting a faint glow.

Beneath this starry sky, there is a high platform, upon which there is nothing but a round mirror.

Having read Bu Tiange's General Outline repeatedly, Feng Xue naturally understood what she was facing, but her mood was somewhat complicated.

"The manifestation of the mind platform is actually a mirror, which is really unoriginal... But then again, this is mostly based on one's own perception. No matter how much one dislikes the bald monk, the phrase 'the mind is like Bright Mirror Platform's is too famous, so it's normal to subconsciously think that the mind platform is a mirror."

Feng Xue placed himself on the platform and inscribed the celestial stars into characters on his spiritual altar. Although most of the characters he carved would fade immediately, with only a small portion remaining on the mirror, he still found it quite enjoyable as Feng Xue's only pastime.

After repeating this for an unknown amount of time, Feng Xue suddenly snapped out of his Entering Stillness state. However, this wasn't because he actively broke free from the "stillness," but because he vaguely heard digging sounds coming from his surroundings...

"My legs still won't move, this is really bad." Feng Xue took a deep breath, his middle finger slightly bent, and his Sleeve Blade was already extended. No matter what, he didn't intend to sit and wait for death.
