A Drop of Essence Blood to Help Her Form a Golden Core

"System, what do you think about me staying in the Flame Hall from now on? I think I'd be quite happy here; they're all very kind to me."

The system emitted a crackling, buzzing sound.

"Host, give up on that idea. You are Direct Disciple, and Direct Disciple cannot be given away."

Li Zi buried her head in the blanket, "Life is getting more and more hopeless."

Li Zi received gifts from the Sect Master and the Immortal Ziyang.

She ate the pastries, feeling particularly heartbroken.

Is this the last time I'll receive a gift from them?

After a while, they will all become Ran Zirou's supporters, and they might even turn against her.

Her good days are over.

After resting for a while, Li Zi got up again and went to the Gravity Body Tempering Pavilion to cultivate.

After holding out for another half an hour, Li Zi gritted his teeth.

[System, give me some gossip to distract me; this gravity is really unbearable.]

Yes, yes!

Feeling sorry for her, the system immediately found some juicy gossip for her.

[Host, do you remember the female disciple who brought you back today? She's cultivating on the fifth floor right now.]

At this moment, the Golden Core Stage disciples who were cultivating in the Gravity Body Tempering Pavilion suddenly perked up and became alert.

Does it contain the Eight Trigrams?

Li Zi nodded. [I quite like that older sister.]

[Her name is Jiang Lan. She has a very nice fiancé, but recently, her fiancé...]

Li Zi interrupted the system, "[Her fiancé cheated on her?]"

Jiang Lan, who was cultivating upstairs, suddenly stood up.

She had already rolled up her sleeves, and the muscles on her arms revealed smooth, strong lines as she moved.

That little bastard!

[No, no, Host, can't you think of people in a better light?]

He relaxed his clenched fist.

Could you please stop panting when you speak?

[Her fiancé is a healer who has entered the Dao through medicine. He is an upright and kind person. A few days ago, a friend borrowed all his savings under the guise of opening a clinic, almost leaving him homeless. Now he has met another friend who wants to sell him to Brothel.]

Jiang Lan smashed open the stone door with a punch and ran out like a madwoman.

Li Zi was getting a little anxious. "Should we tell Sister Jiang Lan and ask her to go rescue them?"

System, [I haven't finished yet. His friend actually liked her fiancé. After selling him, she felt uncomfortable seeing men enter her fiancé's room, so she spent money to buy him herself and prepared to take matters into her own hands...]

The system emitted a crackling sound from the electrical current.

[Wow, how exciting! The man just took off his fiancé's clothes, and Jiang Lan rushed in and is beating him up!]

Li Zi was finally relieved.

Thankfully, my innocence is still intact.

The system said, "[And there was that disciple with the big ears I saw yesterday, Ai Feng. He and a girl in the Sect named Luo Xiaohe like each other, but they don't dare to confess. He tried every means to arrange a chance encounter, but Luo Xiaohe thought he had ulterior motives and dragged him onto the arena to fight. Ai Feng was bruised and swollen, but he was laughing so smugly.]"

[...]

[There was also that male disciple with a mole at the corner of his eye, named Man Zhengchu. He blushed and couldn't speak when he saw women. So, every day he went to the Blazing Steed Breeding Farm behind the mountain to practice talking to the mares. One of the mares was in heat, and he was almost pinned to the ground by her. To escape, he broke his arm and lied to others, saying he had fallen.]

[Do you remember that muscular disciple of yours? His name is Huo Jing. Last night, his dad went to the neighbor's house after drinking and slept there. This morning, the neighbor's husband caught him, accusing him of having an affair with his wife. Now the couple is getting a divorce.]

[...]

I enjoyed listening to this gossip.

By the time Li Zi came to his senses, four hours had already passed.

She dragged her tired body out and into the hall, where she suddenly felt that she was surrounded by emptiness.

She scratched the back of her head and asked the middle-aged man at the door.

"Senior, why are there so few people here to cultivate today?"

The man's expression was somewhat strange, and he shook his head with a hint of something unspeakable. "They've all gone to take care of things at home."

Li Zi an "oh," went back to rest for an hour, and then continued to cultivate at the Gravity Body Tempering Pavilion.

This time, she felt that many unfamiliar faces had suddenly appeared.

Moreover, these people seemed to hold very high positions, as disciples often bowed to them with utmost respect.

However, none of this concerned her. She returned to the stone house and continued cultivating while eating melons.

Chapter 34: Giving her a drop of Essence Blood to help her build her Golden Core.

[Shen Yuan, the Second Elder's eldest disciple, has a twin brother who often impersonates him to lure young girls into dates. Once, during a date, they were ambushed by a group of bandits and he was killed. However, he didn't die; his soul returned to Shen Yuan's jade pendant. Every night, after Shen Yuan falls asleep, he possesses his body to continue arranging dates with young girls. To this day, Shen Yuan remains unaware of this.]

[...]

[There was a guy named Liu Cheng in the Sect who went to the Secret Realm with his fellow disciples. They rescued a junior sister from the Inner Sect. That junior sister was always hanging around him, but this straight man didn't even look at her. After being tricked by his brothers a couple of times, he assumed she was there to steal his skills, so he sternly scolded her, making the young girl cry terribly.]

[Besides...]

Li Zi listened to the system's ramblings, he unknowingly spent more and more time cultivating in the Gravity Body Tempering Pavilion.

She now spends almost all her time in the Body Tempering Pavilion.

The Myriad Flower Divine Bone has played a significant role in this regard.

Ordinary Qi Refining Stage disciples must rest after half an hour.

However, she has the support of the Myriad Flower Divine Bone. Once her body reaches the critical point of bearing gravity, the Divine Bone will generate divine power from deep within her body, nourishing her body again and again.
