This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

As for the quietness in the cubicles, it's because there's a formation that isolates the sound; otherwise, there would be no mutual interference, and the cubicles would be meaningless.

Then there's the issue of three days. He originally wanted to give the two of them a month, but he couldn't bear to, which is why he said the previous part, "It's too long, no, let's just have three days."

The two were already very happy to be able to eat for free for three days, and of course they had no other complaints.

Because the prices here are very high, a meal costs 1,000 sect points. No matter how delicious or plentiful the food is, the price alone can scare away many people.

Chef Yiduo was also very talkative, and gave a general introduction to some matters concerning the sect.

For example, a points system could be used, where you could sell pills, talismans, array plates, weapons, etc., and exchange them with others. The number of points you receive is related to the value of the item.

You can also earn points by completing tasks; of course, the difficulty of the tasks varies, and so on.

Tomorrow's events will likely involve assigning new members, or explaining the rules and regulations for new members.

Soon the dishes were served. It was Chef Yiduo who pressed a switch on the wall, and in less than an hour, someone came with various foods, a total of four dishes.

They were all covered up, so you couldn't tell what they were. Chef Yiduo explained that this was to prevent others from getting jealous and causing disputes.

Lianxue thought, "This is really a human-centered design."

After placing four plates on the table, the covers were removed, revealing Drunken Duck, Braised Chicken, Stewed White Crucian Carp, and Stir-fried Lotus Root with Shredded Pork. Each plate was quite large, enough for ten people.

Lianxue thought that the dishes had all been served and that Chef Yiduo should be able to retire now, but she saw that he showed no signs of leaving.

Instead, he picked up his bowl and chopsticks and started eating! He just started eating!

It turns out he wasn't being enthusiastic; he just wanted to freeload a meal together.

Chef Yiduo was very polite, urging the two to eat quickly, "Eat quickly, or it will get cold." His hands and mouth were busy.

The two hesitated for a moment, but the plate of food in front of them was empty. Without further hesitation, Lianxue picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of meat, and put it in her mouth. It was sweet, soft, and tender, and the rich spiritual energy rushed straight to her lungs, making her feel indescribably happy.

Lianxue's chopsticks also moved at lightning speed.

After trying it, Jingwei quickly started eating as well.

Chu Yiduo and Jingwei almost got into a fight over a piece of meat, but Chu Yiduo ultimately won.

The three people's chopsticks were fighting on the table, creating a chaotic scene, and they looted everything.

Then they both burped, and Chu Yiduo didn't forget to lick the plate clean.

Lianxue was speechless for a moment. This was a bit too much, but just as she was thinking, she saw Jingwei also licking the plate without any regard for her image.

Lianxue couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she turned her head away, pretending not to have seen what the two were doing.

The two finished their fight in an instant, and Lian Xue finally understood why it was so expensive. Only clean plates remained on the table, but the two still looked like they hadn't had enough.

Regardless of the taste, just considering the spiritual energy in the dishes and rice, it's worth the price. It's worth spending a fortune. After the meal, I felt warm all over and had faint signs of a breakthrough.

After finishing his meal, Chef Yi Duo patted his stomach, leaned back lazily in his chair, and said, "You two can go back and digest now. I'll come find you when it's time to eat. Go on." He then waved for the two to leave.

Lianxue tactfully turned and left, but Jingwei was somewhat reluctant to part with her. It wasn't that she was reluctant to leave Chu Yiduo, but rather that she was wondering when she would be able to eat her next meal, and that three days was too short.

Lianxue didn't notice Jingwei's reluctance; she was in a hurry to get back and advance, so she ran very fast.

When Jingwei realized what was happening and turned around, Lianxue was nowhere to be seen. "Sigh! Wait for me! How heartless!" she complained and hurriedly ran back.

Upon returning to their lodgings, they discovered that Lianxue's cave had been sealed off, with the door tightly shut.

She returned to her residence, feeling dejected, and pressed the same mechanism to close the stone door.

Lianxue returned to the stone bed, ignoring its coldness and hardness, and immediately sat down to meditate and begin cultivating. Spiritual energy gathered and circulated within her body. When her acupoints were full of spiritual energy and her dantian was completely empty, her spiritual energy reached a certain level, heading towards a breakthrough.

Waves of spiritual energy surged forth, her body acting like a giant magnet, absorbing all the spiritual energy it could. Around her cave, the leaves of the spiritual plants began to wither, because the spiritual energy had been drained.

Those who meditate in the sect's cave feel their spiritual energy waning.

The disciples who were cultivating were all curious as to why this was happening.

The sect elders, however, calmly went about their business.

Because a minor advancement in martial arts masterhood is unlikely to garner their attention.

Lianxue's influence was not particularly large, only limited to the mountain where she was located; no one had noticed her in other areas.

Within the Guiyuan Sect, disciples break through to the Martial Master level at any time. Only those who reach the Martial King or Martial Emperor level attract attention, because that is yet another level altogether.

After entering her residence, Jingwei first made up her bed, then stretched and lay down, wanting to have a good sleep. After all, she had been traveling for so long and hadn't rested yet. A good night's sleep would allow her to be refreshed and ready to face new challenges tomorrow.

But just as she was drifting into a light sleep, she felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy around her and opened her sleepy eyes.

Upon closer inspection, she was shocked. The spiritual energy was like a steel needle, rapidly penetrating the adjacent room.

She knew perfectly well who lived next door; it was a residence she had personally chosen for Lianxue.

At this moment, spiritual energy condensed into a tangible form and entered that place, presumably indicating that Lian Xue was about to break through.

However, the momentum of this breakthrough was quite shocking. Fortunately, I live next door, otherwise I can't imagine it.

After a moment's thought, Jingwei also began to meditate. For others, it might be difficult to continue, but since the spiritual energy was flowing from her own room, this was the best time to cultivate.

Jingwei's presence caused a storm of spiritual energy to swirl around this spot.

Fortunately, there was no one else near their cave, because they had chosen the shady side, a place that most people would rarely choose.

Both of them preferred quiet places, so Jingwei chose this spot.

Furthermore, because the area is protected by array formations, ordinary people cannot see the surge of spiritual energy.

Lianxue diligently absorbed the spiritual energy, unaware of what was happening around her. The spiritual energy twisted into a single strand and was directly absorbed by the Phoenix Bracelet.

There were also new changes inside the Phoenix Bracelet; even the cinnabar mole between her eyebrows seemed to be brighter and redder.

There was a faint but powerful aura emanating from Lian Xue, which, though subtle, was still quite intimidating.

The final breakthrough required a lot of spiritual energy, so Lian Xue could only absorb it continuously. She felt her body swell up, and blood seeped into the pores of her skin.

Unbeknownst to them, Lianxue's dagger appeared silently. A ripple flashed across the dagger, and the swelling of Lianxue's skin subsided.

Lianxue could sense some of these changes, but she only assumed that she had absorbed excess spiritual energy as the reason for this.

At this moment, Leng Yaoye, far away in the Ancient Fiend Sect, opened his eyes from his cultivation, a slight smile on his lips, indicating that he was in a very good mood, perhaps having encountered something good.
