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

Zhong Lingxin lay on the ground for a long time before spitting out a mouthful of ash, then rolled over, got up, and sat down to meditate.

After a long time, she once again rushed into the Four Seasons Formation with renewed vigor.

As soon as Zhong Lingxin entered the formation, she rushed straight to a tree in front of her without saying a word. A golden light flashed in her hand, and she cut off a branch. After breaking it twice, she turned it into a fork and held it in her hand.

Next, she grabbed her head and pulled off a hair tie, quickly tying it to a tree branch to make a slingshot.

She specially selected this rope at the market; it was made from the sinew of a dragon, making it elastic and exceptionally secure for tying hair.

When Qingyang Zunsheng and Xuanyuan saw Zhong Lingxin again, they took out small pebbles from their pockets and threw them at the birds chirping and flying around in mid-air.

Each time you fire the slingshot, cast a golden light spell on the tree and a fireball spell on the grass.

The main principle is to ensure that everyone receives equal treatment, without favoritism.

The Four Seasons Array is very active. Since it became a training array, countless cultivators have entered to train, including those who cultivate magic, those who cultivate body, and those who mainly cultivate illusion techniques or divine sense.

These cultivators, no matter what, are all related to magic and spiritual energy.

Only the little girl in front of them didn't play by the rules. She had learned some unorthodox methods from somewhere and actually used a slingshot to shoot at it.

This time, if it catches the little girl again, it will definitely spank her bottom eight times.

This time, Zhong Lingxin had also learned from the previous three experiences, and she could shoot with the slingshot faster, burn grass faster, and use the Golden Light Technique more quickly.

Moreover, this time she didn't just scatter all her spiritual energy; she simply flicked it lightly, and that was enough to achieve the desired effect.

Unlike the previous three times, I will not think that burning one piece is better than breaking one piece.

This time, she neither burned it all nor broke it.

As long as the grass and branches don't grow too big or too long, that's fine.

As for the birds flying in the sky, she believes that every one she kills is one less bird to kill.

Xuan Yuan praised, "Not bad, not bad, you're quite clever. You figured out so quickly that as soon as a bird dies, it's one less, and that branches and grass grow repeatedly."

About two incense sticks later, Zhong Lingxin was once again thrown out of the Four Seasons Formation.

This time, she was dumped even harder.

Fortunately, she learned to be smart and knew to retain a sliver of her spiritual energy to support her landing safely.

Seeing that the sun was already at its zenith, Zhong Lingxin pointed at the Four Seasons Formation and shouted, "I will be back!"

Then, she limped back to the left wing, grimacing, and called out, "Xuejuan, dinner's ready!"

Xuan Yuan burst out laughing.

Teaching my apprentice is so much fun, it's really so much fun.

Day after day, Zhong Lingxin happily endured being beaten up in the Four Seasons Formation.

She felt that the rate at which her spiritual energy was increasing was not as fast as the rate at which her skin and flesh were becoming firm.

Now that she'd fallen out of the Four Seasons Formation, she was too lazy to protect herself anymore. She just let out a "plop" and settled down to rest.

Xuan Yuan had had enough of watching Zhong Lingxin get hurt, so he accepted the mission assigned by Qingyang Venerable Saint: to search the world for treasures to arm Zhong Lingxin.

After training in the Four Seasons Formation for half a year, Zhong Lingxin advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

This speed is faster than her advancement from the second tier to the third tier.

As expected, improving one's cultivation level is fastest in battle.

The seasons also shift from the comfortable warmth of spring to the heat of summer.

The ground was no longer covered in green grass, but was now a place where floods raged one moment and scalding hot the next.

Even the birds in the sky seemed to have grown larger, and the pebbles they spat out were much heavier.

Only a few old trees that Zhong Lingxin often broke off branches to make slingshots for remained unchanged. Every day, they angrily whipped her branches around, specifically chasing her into the flood or onto the scalding ground.

Zhong Lingxin felt that she had become so proficient in several spells that she could use them with ease.

That day, she finally went to her master and asked to learn other spells.

Qingyang Venerable Saint watched her demonstrate her magic.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he demonstrated it again.

In his hands, magic could grow larger or smaller, separate or merge, appear and disappear, be sharp or gentle, and he could use it however he pleased.

Zhong Lingxin was dumbfounded.

She thought that with her current Qi Refining Stage 4 ability, being able to master these spells to this extent was already her limit.

It turns out she can do even more meticulous work.

Qingyang Venerable Saint couldn't bear to discourage his young disciple, so he said gently, "You've been practicing magic for less than four years now, which is already very good. However, the better your foundation, the more efficient you'll be when you study advanced magic in the future. Do you understand?"

Zhong Lingxin bowed to her master: "Yes, disciple will definitely refine my magic even further and never waste a single bit of spiritual energy when facing an enemy."

Qingyang Venerable Saint nodded and pointed to a room behind the cave, saying, "There are the cultivation techniques and various miscellaneous notes that I have been searching for over the past two thousand years."

The techniques are too advanced for you to use right now.

But you can spend two hours each night reading the various miscellaneous notes and some basic knowledge about cultivation.

You also need to learn the four arts of cultivation.

I see that you have good fire and wood spiritual roots, so you can start with alchemy.

Ultimately, cultivation is about cultivating resources.

If you have a skill, you won't lack resources.

Zhong Lingxin bowed to her master again, then turned and walked towards the library behind the cave.

The voice of Venerable Qingyang rang out behind her again: "Cultivators all have their own magical treasures. What do you plan to cultivate? A sword? A spear? A spear? Or something else?"

Zhong Lingxin shook her head: "Master, I haven't thought about it yet. I plan to go to the sect's arena after I reach the sixth level of Qi Refining and see what I like."

The Venerable Qingyang said no more.

He was a hands-off approach to his apprentices, respecting their choices in everything.

Actually, Zhong Lingxin was thinking about the guqin at home.

Does she need to do some audio editing?

For a moment, she couldn't make up her mind.

Let's talk about it later.

In the library, Zhong Lingxin first picked up a jade slip inscribed with "Records of the Celestial Geography" and placed it on her forehead.

Soon, the geographical information of the Immortal Spirit Continent entered her mind.

The Immortal Spirit Continent slopes from west to east. In the west are two major sects: the Beast Taming Sect and the Taixu Sect. In the east are three large sects: the Lingyun Sect, the Zixia Sect, and the Chaoyuan Sect.

Various second- or third-rate sects, or even lower-ranking ones, are scattered around these five major sects.

In addition, there are various organizations and associations, such as the two largest organizations, the Loose Cultivator Alliance and the Law Enforcer Association.

The Loose Cultivator Alliance is easy to understand; it's an organization where independent cultivators band together for mutual support. Almost every cultivation city has a branch of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, making it a force to be reckoned with on the Immortal Spirit Continent.

The Law Enforcers Association is said to have been jointly established by the five major sects and the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
