The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Yun Yao and Xiao Cui returned to the courtyard with joy, carrying the key and scroll they found in the small room in the secret passage. The special key exuded a slight coolness in Yun Yao's hand, as if it was also looking forward to the secret that was about to be revealed.

The courtyard was still shabby and quiet, but Yun Yao's heart was full of excitement and anticipation. She carefully placed the small box on the shaky table, staring at it as if she was looking at a rare treasure. Xiao Cui was also staring at it, with curiosity and excitement in her eyes.

Yun Yao took a deep breath, as if making final preparations for this important moment. She slowly inserted the key into the lock on the box. At that moment, she could clearly feel her heartbeat speeding up and her hands trembling slightly. With a slight "click", the lock opened. The sound was particularly crisp in the quiet courtyard, as if opening a long-forgotten history.

Yun Yao gently opened the box, and a soft light instantly emanated from the box, illuminating her face full of surprise. In the box, the ancient book lay quietly, the paper showing an ancient yellowing color, but not at all worn out. There was not much decoration on the cover of the ancient book, just a few simple ancient characters. Although Yun Yao could not fully understand these characters, she could feel a mysterious and ancient atmosphere coming towards her.

With her trembling hands, she gently turned the first page of the ancient book. The touch of the paper made her feel inexplicably intimate. The handwriting on the ancient book was clear and neat, and every stroke seemed to contain endless power. Yun Yao's eyes slowly wandered between the lines. She found that although these words were ancient, they seemed to have a magical power that could attract her attention and make her immerse herself in them involuntarily.

It records a complete set of basic cultivation techniques, from the most basic spiritual energy sensing to the initial absorption and operation, and every step is recorded in detail. The more Yun Yao read, the more excited she became. She knew that this was the foundation for her to gain a foothold in this world of cultivation and the first step towards becoming stronger.

However, in addition to being excited, Yun Yao also realized the difficulties involved. Although these cultivation methods are detailed, they are still full of challenges for her who has no foundation in cultivation. For example, in the step of aura induction, practitioners need to be able to calm down and use their spiritual sense to feel the free aura in the surrounding air. Yun Yao tried to do it according to the methods described in the ancient books. She closed her eyes and tried to calm her mind. However, everything around her seemed to be disturbing her. She could hear Xiao Cui's slight breathing and feel the itchiness of the breeze brushing across her cheeks. These usually insignificant feelings became a huge obstacle to her cultivation at this time.

She took a deep breath and tried again. This time, she tried to focus her attention on her body, trying to find the so-called spiritual consciousness. She imagined that her body was a mysterious space, and the spiritual consciousness was the explorer of this space. As time passed, fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of Yun Yao's forehead, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists. Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly felt a weak fluctuation, like a ripple on the calm lake. She was delighted, knowing that this was the spiritual fluctuation she had been looking for.

However, this was just the beginning. The next step of absorbing spiritual energy gave Yun Yao a headache. According to ancient books, absorbing spiritual energy requires opening the meridians and acupoints of the body so that the spiritual energy can enter the body smoothly. Yun Yao carefully studied the human meridian map drawn in ancient books. The dense lines and acupoints made her a little dazzled. She tried to follow the acupoints marked on the map and use her internal force to impact those tightly closed acupoints. However, every impact was accompanied by a sharp pain, and the pain was like thousands of needles piercing her meridians at the same time.

Xiao Cui saw Yun Yao's painful expression and asked worriedly, "Princess, are you okay? This practice looks so painful." Yun Yao gritted her teeth and shook her head, saying, "Xiao Cui, I'm fine. This is a necessary process in practice. Only by enduring these pains can I become strong." Xiao Cui looked at Yun Yao with admiration. She knew that Yun Yao had a determination that was different from ordinary people.

Yun Yao continued to work hard, constantly adjusting her internal strength and trying to use a gentler method to impact the acupuncture points. Failure after failure did not discourage her, but made her more determined to succeed. Finally, after countless attempts, she successfully opened the first acupuncture point, and a weak spiritual energy slowly entered her body. The spiritual energy was like a cool stream, flowing through her meridians, making her feel an unprecedented comfort.

However, this is only a small victory. There are still many complicated steps in the cultivation method recorded in ancient books that she needs to complete. As the cultivation deepened, Yun Yao found that she encountered more and more problems. For example, in the link of spiritual energy circulation, the absorbed spiritual energy needs to be circulated in the meridians along a specific route to achieve the purpose of tempering the meridians and improving cultivation. However, when Yun Yao circulates spiritual energy, the spiritual energy often gets out of control. Sometimes the spiritual energy will suddenly stagnate at a certain acupuncture point, causing her meridians to swell and ache unbearably; sometimes the spiritual energy will suddenly accelerate, rushing through the meridians like a wild horse, making her almost vomit blood.

Every time she encountered these problems, Yun Yao would carefully consult ancient books, trying to find solutions from them. She would repeatedly study the principles and techniques of the circulation of spiritual energy, and then adjust them according to her actual situation. She would also tell Xiao Cui about the problems she encountered in her practice. Although Xiao Cui could not give her direct help in her practice, Xiao Cui's encouragement and companionship made her feel extremely warm.

During this process, Yun Yao gradually discovered some special features of her body. She found that her body seemed to have a special affinity for spiritual energy. Although she encountered many difficulties in the process of cultivation, once she successfully solved the problems, her cultivation speed would be much faster than that of ordinary people. This discovery made her more confident. She believed that as long as she persevered, she would be able to carve out a place of her own in this world of cultivation.

Yun Yao was immersed in the world of practicing ancient books and techniques, forgetting the passage of time. The light in the courtyard gradually dimmed from bright to dim. Xiao Cui lit a candle, and the flickering candlelight swayed gently in the wind, reflecting Yun Yao's focused face. Her eyes were fixed on the ancient book, her hands kept making various gestures of practice, and she was muttering something, as if the whole world was left with only her and this precious ancient book.

As her cultivation deepened, Yun Yao's understanding of this ancient book became deeper and deeper. She discovered that this ancient book was not just a simple cultivation method, but also contained some history and philosophy about the world of cultivation. This knowledge was like a key to open the door to the world of cultivation for Yun Yao, allowing her to have a deeper understanding of this strange world.

She learned that in this world of cultivation, power is the root of everything. Only with great power can one survive in this world of strict hierarchy and complicated forces. And cultivation is the only way to gain power. However, cultivation is not just for the pursuit of power, but also a kind of self-transcendence and exploration of the great way of heaven and earth. Every successful cultivator has his own unique cultivation concept and pursuit. While pursuing power, they are also constantly thinking about the meaning of life and the mysteries of the universe.

Yun Yao was deeply attracted by these ideas, and she began to think about her own path of cultivation. She knew that her starting point was very low. In this world, she was just an unfavored princess, without a strong backing and abundant resources. However, she had this precious ancient book, firm belief and tenacious perseverance. She believed that as long as she continued to work hard, she would be able to achieve her own counterattack and become an impressive cultivator.

On this night, Yun Yao continued her journey of cultivation in the courtyard. The ancient book was like a bright star, illuminating her way forward. She knew that there were countless difficulties and challenges waiting for her ahead, but she was ready. She would take this precious gift and embark on her own journey of cultivation.
