Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

Following her master's instructions, Zhong Lingxin sat upright on the futon, focused her mind, and closed her eyes to carefully perceive the spiritual energy around her.

Perhaps because her body had been detoxified, she quickly sensed spiritual energy, and small specks of light of various colors appeared around her—red, white, green, yellow…

These specks of light hovered around her, and occasionally a small speck would drift onto her before quickly drifting away again.

Gradually, more and more tiny specks of light landed on her and then drifted away.

Golden light and red and green specks of light gathered more and more around her.

In a daze, she seemed to see gold, red, and green covering her up like a shimmering, colorful doll.

The voice of Venerable Qingyang rang in her ears again: "Very good. Now, try to communicate with these spiritual energies and let them enter your body."

Zhong Lingxin couldn't think of a way to communicate for a moment, so she could only call out in her heart: "Come on, come on, come into my body."

The points of light suddenly flew away.

Zhong Lingxin wasn't in a hurry. As far as she knew, many cultivators with three or more spiritual roots would only be able to sense the Qi after five or six days, and it would take about half a month to guide the spirit into their bodies.

She's barely there yet.

No rush, no rush, just keep feeling these spiritual energies.

The spiritual energy slowly gathered again, and golden, red, and green light spots covered her entire body once more.

This time, Zhong Lingxin focused solely on sensing the spiritual energy at her fingertips. Instead of rushing to draw the spiritual energy into her body, she began to play with it.

She gently pushed her fingertip upwards, drawing the spiritual energy gathered at her fingertip.

The spiritual energy dispersed, quickly settling back onto her fingertips.

She pushed it up again.

The spiritual energy disperses and then gathers again.

After repeating this process several times, more and more spiritual energy gathered at her fingertips.

The clusters of spiritual energy points, crowded together, slowly began to vie for the space on her fingers.

A golden ray of light darted into her fingertip with a "whoosh".

A slight tingling sensation came from my fingertips.

Then, more and more light particles entered the body from the fingertips.

Some points of light also burrowed into her body from the top of her head, the palms of her hands and feet, and even through her skin.

more and more……

The slight numbness and pain felt like a low-voltage electric current striking her entire body.

The tingling sensation almost made her shiver.

Fortunately she held back.

She knew that this was the feeling the first time a spirit entered her body.

You'll get used to it.

The spiritual energy entered her body, automatically flowing through her meridians and converging in her dantian.

The voice of Venerable Qingyang rang out again: "Compress the spiritual energy in your dantian, compress it as much as possible."

Zhong Lingxin suddenly realized that her master was not a good teacher who knew how to teach his apprentices. He only told her the steps, but he had no idea about the specific operating methods.

Perhaps it's because I've never taught an apprentice.

Silently, she used all her willpower to compress the spiritual energy in her dantian into one place.

But squeezing it out isn't that easy; it's like pressing down one gourd only to have another float up.

She could clearly feel the spiritual energy surging in her dantian.

Qingyang Venerable Saint also sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy on his disciple, but he had no good solution.

He has been drawing spirits into his body for two thousand years, and he can no longer remember what it felt like back then.

It seems that he also had to suppress the surge of spiritual energy for a long time.

Zhong Lingxin calmed herself down and slowly imagined a brick in her lower abdomen, pressing down on the spiritual energy as she absorbed it...

She didn't know how long she had been absorbing and suppressing the energy; she only felt that her dantian was full and she couldn't suppress it anymore.

The meridians throughout the body were filled with spiritual energy, and even the skin, muscles, and bones were filled with spiritual energy.

It could no longer absorb a single point of spiritual energy.

She knew that the spirit had successfully entered her body!

She slowly opened her eyes and saw her master's smiling gaze upon her.

Zhong Lingxin hurriedly turned over and stood up, about to bow to her master.

She thanked her master for protecting her and helping her successfully guide the spirit into her body.

Suddenly, Venerable Qingyang floated away.

The two little spirit beasts also fled quickly.

That's right, it's about escaping.

Before Zhong Lingxin could even react, a foul, sour smell filled her nostrils.

She couldn't help but gag.

When I looked down at myself, my white practice clothes had turned into a greasy, earthy yellow.

The sour, foul smell was coming from her own body.

She jumped up, remembering what others had said about how after a spirit enters the body, a lot of very smelly impurities will be expelled.

She lifted her foot and ran outside, her toes slipping inside her shoe.

As soon as she stepped out of the training room, she saw a clear pond in front of her, filled with blooming lotus flowers.

She paused, not daring to rush into the lotus pond.

A quick glance revealed a small gap on the left side of the lotus pond.

That should be the water outlet.

She rushed towards the water outlet without her feet touching the ground.

Thank goodness, a small pool appeared below the water outlet, with white jade pebbles reflected in the water, and it looked as if a few small fish were swimming in the pool.

She silently said to herself, "I'm sorry, I can't take care of you all now!"

With a "plop," she jumped into the small pool, scooped up water to wash her face, then washed her greasy, tangled hair, and her whole body, even scrubbing between her toes several times.

The water in the small pond turned murky and then flowed away.

Several small fish floated away belly-up with the current.

The water in the small pond became murky again and again...

Zhong Lingxin smelled her arms and then her hair to make sure there was no sour smell before climbing out of the small pool.

In the distance, Venerable Qingyang stood calmly.

Two little spirit beasts followed behind him, peeking at Zhong Lingxin with their heads sticking out, looking ready to run away at any moment.

Zhong Lingxin felt embarrassed.

She had no idea that her spirit infusion would smell so bad.

When we climbed the Heavenly Ladder together, several children talked about their experiences of spirits entering their bodies, and none of them smelled this bad.

Moreover, she first took a medicinal bath to remove impurities.

Actually, she didn't know that it was because she had eliminated all the impurities that a lot of spiritual energy entered her body.

Every pore, every muscle, every bone, and every internal organ on her body was cleansed by spiritual energy countless times.

Furthermore, in order to lay a good foundation for her, the Venerable Qingyang instructed her to suppress her spiritual energy during the first time he guided the spirit into her body. As a result, the spiritual energy gathered in her body to an exceptionally high level, and a great deal of impurities were expelled.

When other children first have a spirit enter their body, they just need to absorb enough spiritual energy.

It's all because Zhong Lingxin behaved so well while taking a medicinal bath.

Qingyang Venerable Saint boldly demanded that she suppress her spiritual energy on the very first time.

Of course, this was only because Venerable Qingyang was highly skilled and had someone personally protecting him that he dared to attempt it.

After the spirit entered Zhong Lingxin's body, she felt truly light.

The Venerable Qingyang was extremely satisfied.

He casually instructed his disciple that the rest of the time should be spent constantly absorbing and compressing spiritual energy.

Until it can no longer be suppressed, one will advance to the second stage of Qi Refining, and so on, until the third stage.
