The goofy junior sister is the most eccentric person in the entire cultivation world.

"Senior Brother, do you mean that if Junior Sister Shen Rugo really wins, you will persuade Master to accept her as our junior sister?"

Lu Haoran was overjoyed and grabbed Xiao Changkong's hand.

"Get your dirty hands off!"

Xiao Changkong hurriedly withdrew his hand, lightly flicked those jade-like, slender fingers, and looked disgusted.

"If we really had a junior sister, that would be wonderful! I would definitely cherish her dearly!"

The fifth junior brother, Xiao Qiushui, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. He was the youngest, only fifteen years old.

"It's settled then. If Shen Rugo can win this bet and reach the third level of Qi Refining within three months, she will be our junior sister."

Regardless of whether Master acknowledges it or not, we all acknowledge it, we all accept it!

Ye Xinghe, who had always been full of questions, suddenly waved his hand, as if their master's opinion was no longer important. As long as they made the decision, they would accept this junior sister on behalf of their master.

Shen Rugo's greatest wish is to be accepted as a personal disciple by the sect leader as soon as possible and to obtain the secrets of the Star Palace.

Little did she know that this bet, with its uncertain outcome, would cause a sensation throughout the Star Palace and even determine whether she could become the sect leader's personal disciple.

If she knew, she would probably cry with regret.

Because she only wanted to put some pressure on herself, she had no confidence whatsoever.

With the participation of all the outer disciples, the bet was finally settled, and both of them pressed their fingerprints to sign it.

Shen Rugo pondered her money-making plan and soon returned to her small villa.

Looking at the bet written in black and white, my brain was working at lightning speed.

She wants to open a betting pool in the outer sect and let all the outer sect disciples participate in this betting.

It would be best to win all the spirit stones from those who don't believe in you.

Shen Rugo quickly devised a comprehensive plan on how to open a betting pool and how to make big profits with small investments.

"However, all of this can only be realized if I can reach the third level of Qi Refining within three months and defeat Zhang Shiduo!"

Otherwise, everything will be for nothing, and I'll even lose the colorful dress my fourth senior brother gave me.

"It seems that the next three months will be a time for me, this workaholic, to work my ass off."

"In my past life, from elementary school—no, from kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, to university and graduate school—I was invincible and never lost. I absolutely cannot lose this time either!"

"Roll them up, roll them all up!"

Shen Rugo quickly calmed down.

The first thing to do now is to use cultivation techniques to draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and bring it into the body.

This is the first step in cultivation.

Only by drawing spiritual energy from heaven and earth into the body can one truly begin cultivation.

It sounds simple—to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and draw it into one's body—but for many people, it's simply impossible.

For those with low spiritual root values, it is as difficult as climbing to heaven.

"The cultivation methods of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) are largely the same, with only minor differences! I will start by practicing the metal element cultivation method."

As a data analyst, Shen Rugo quickly analyzed the details of various martial arts techniques.

But analysis alone is not enough; you have to experiment yourself.

Only through countless personal trials can one summarize the real differences and the reasons for those differences.

Shen Rugo sat cross-legged on the futon on the bed in the small villa, following the posture described in the cultivation technique.

I had just sat cross-legged when I suddenly noticed that my skin looked smoother and more radiant.

He immediately felt grateful to Chen Tianba.

It was all thanks to the Fire Spirit Fruit that I was able to temper my body and cleanse my marrow and bones.

He couldn't help but reach out and take out the bag Chen Tianba had given him, which contained about ten Fire Spirit Fruits.

"These spiritual fruits must contain a lot of spiritual energy, and with so many spirit stones, I refuse to believe I can't break through to the third level of Qi Refining!"

Shen Rugo closed her eyes and began to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, drawing it into her body.

Half an hour passed, and I felt nothing, but my legs were numb.

An hour passed, and he still felt nothing; his legs gradually lost sensation.

Two hours passed, and I still didn't feel anything.

"It seems that metal-attribute techniques won't work, so let's try wood-attribute techniques!"

Shen Rugo got up and stretched her joints, then continued her cross-legged meditation.

Two hours later, I still felt nothing.

Next, switch to water-attribute techniques.

To Shen Rugo's disappointment, after trying all the techniques for most of the day, she couldn't even feel anything, let alone draw qi into her body.

"Am I really a useless person? Or am I just not focused enough?"

After her initial disappointment, Shen Rugo rallied.

Having tried each method, I can better appreciate their subtle differences.

Now, calm down and integrate the five sets of exercises, taking the similarities and discarding the differences.

"My special mixed five spiritual roots, with the same root value, might be the most powerful talent in the world, but my cultivation method is wrong and I haven't been able to develop it!"

"Cultivation techniques are all created by people. If there isn't one in this world, then I'll create a cultivation technique that's suitable for my physique!"

Innovation!

This was something every graduate and doctoral student had to do in their previous life, and it was also their main research direction.

Soon, Shen Rugo was immersed in the integration and innovation of the five techniques.

It's easier said than done.

While frowning in thought, Shen Rugo took out a pen and paper and began to write and draw.

Every value, every minute detail, is marked out.

No matter how sharp your mind is, it's not as clear as marking it with a pen.

This is the experience of a top student.

"Is this really Shen Rugo's house, and the person inside is Shen Rugo's junior sister?"

"She was sitting cross-legged in meditation, sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Did she not sense it at all?"

"Why isn't she meditating anymore? Instead, she's writing and drawing, and constantly lost in thought?"

"What is she doing?"

Unbeknownst to anyone, two figures quietly appeared outside Shen Rugo's villa, hiding in a corner where no one could see them, and talking in hushed tones.

At the same time, the two men were filled with worry, and even wished they could rush in and personally teach Shen Rugo how to cultivate.

"Gululu!"

Before anyone knew it, Shen Rugo's stomach started growling.

The voice woke Shen Rugo from her deep thoughts.

She couldn't help but touch her little belly.

hungry!

We need to find something to eat!

Since arriving at the sect yesterday, I haven't had a moment's rest, only managing to eat two spirit fruits in between.

Now, it's the afternoon of the second day, and I'm finally hungry.

Stretching, Shen Rugo walked out of the small villa.

She was wearing a colorful dress and little flower shoes with bells.

She would always remember her fourth senior brother's kindness.

She wants to make those who dislike her jealous!

Let them watch as I flaunt my mid-grade spiritual weapon in front of them.

"She's coming out? Does that mean she's giving up cultivation?"

"Isn't that obvious? Didn't you hear her stomach growling? She's not like you, able to abstain from food. She's just an ordinary mortal!"

"That's true. But her eating will waste a lot of time!"

"She doesn't eat, so she doesn't waste time? Didn't you see she was just drawing and writing all the time?"

"Alright, enough talk. Once she's gone, let's sneak in and see what this junior sister is up to!"

The two men whispered to each other as they watched Shen Rugo yawn and slowly walk down the mountain. They then quietly entered her villa.
