Chapter 6 - Cultivation

The book that Little White gave Su Ruoxi was the Book of Poison and Medicine. The contents of the book was obvious from its name. Apart from the introductory knowledge about this world at the beginning of the book…

The book was about medicine and poison. It contained detailed explanations on a variety of herbs. It introduced their name, effect, appearance, and environment it grows in.

The book also had recipes to develop elixirs and the ingredients required…

The second half of the book was focused on poison. It introduced the characteristics of all the poisonous flowers, plants, bugs, mist, and objects. It also contained many recipes for developing poison…

Even if Su Ruoxi had photographic memory, it was hard to remember so much information.

Fortunately, when the book disappeared, it fused into Su Ruoxi's mind.

If she tried to recall the contents, the content she was looking for would appear in her mind. Su Ruoxi was impressed by it. This was much more efficient than using a computer in the 21st century. Commands had to be entered into the computer before the results would surface. Now, all that was required was to recall…

The last part of the book had an unnamed cultivation technique. Su Ruoxi hesitated and took a mental note. She was going to try it when she went out…

As Su Ruoxi looked at the grayish realm, her stomach felt empty. She didn't need to eat, but she was used to eating something to fill her stomach…

She was a foodie. In the 21st century, she tended to be too lazy to do anything except to eat. To satisfy her taste buds, she traveled around the world and learned hundreds of cuisines…

Thinking back, in her previous life, the first decade was spent in brutal training. The next few years, except for killing people and fulfilling missions, she would be eating! Her life was really monotonous…

Su Ruoxi realized that she had neglected the situation outside as she had been in the realm all this time. She had no idea what the situation was like outside. When the thought occurred to her, Su Ruoxi suddenly realized that she was able to see the outside world…

She could see the outside world while inside; it felt more comforting…

Then, she realized that it was pitch-black outside. Which meant, she had been in the realm for a whole day, and it was already deep into the night…

She touched her stomach and decided to go out and hunt for something to eat! She could also change locations and try if she could cultivate…

With this thought, she went out of the realm and landed right beside the river. She was washing her fishes beside the river earlier. She saw the fishes that were half washed and picked them up. She smelled it, and it seemed they were still pretty fresh…

She cleaned the fishes, picked up some branches, and found some firestones in the realm. She lit a pile of firewood and grilled the fishes. There weren't any seasonings added, but at least the fish tasted really fresh…

Su Ruoxi ate the natural grilled fish as her first meal in this world and she finally felt better. A foodie would only feel alive when their stomachs were filled…

After eating, Su Ruoxi checked the surroundings. Except for a small pond of water, there was nothing odd around here…

Except for the occasional roar of beasts and the sound of the wind, it was silent. At first, she wanted to find a cave and try if she could cultivate…

After she checked, she realized that the forest was really huge. Her night vision in the modern world was already great. As she received the spiritual power from the original owner, her night vision now was even better than when she was in the modern world…

She could see the situation hundreds of miles away. After realizing that there weren't any nearby caves for her to hide in, Su Ruoxi decided to try cultivating here…

When Su Ruoxi confirmed that nothing would disturb her, she sat cross-legged in her spot and recalled the instructions she saw…

She calmed down and slowly guided the energy into her dantian…

She didn't know how useless her body was, and she didn't know if she could cultivate, either. It was all up to her to slowly figure things out…

Soon, she felt a gentle energy surrounding her. It made her feel warm and sleepy…

Her eyes were closed and hence she did not see that the faint colorful light in the surroundings were fighting to enter Su Ruoxi's body…

If others were to see it, they would be utterly shocked. The faint lights that entered Su Ruoxi's body were red, green, blue, gold, brown, purple, white, and black in color. Even the moonlight produced faint essences that entered her body…

Countless colored Mystique Energy was absorbed by Su Ruoxi…

The small pond not far away was crystal clear this morning. Now, it was dark like a bowl of ink…

Suddenly, as if summoned by something, it started to flow toward Su Ruoxi.The black water stream twirled around Su Ruoxi…

When the streams of water touched Su Ruoxi, it was absorbed by her. The small pond of water was decreasing at a rapid speed…

Su Ruoxi could feel that she was absorbing the black water. She was slightly shocked, but she did not question. In the previous owner's memory, most of the people in the Land of the Dancing Phoenix were water and ice natured…

If the water was being absorbed by her, does it mean that she was not good-for-nothing? Does it mean that she can cultivate? Thinking of this, she was overjoyed and worked harder to absorb the water…

In less than four hours, the pond had dried up. It was all absorbed by Su Ruoxi…

It was hard to imagine that she could absorb so much water…

After the pond was absorbed by her, Su Ruoxi felt that her dantian was too full. It felt uncomfortable and felt like it was about to explode…

She did not dare to brush this feeling aside. She bit her lips and controlled her powers into her dantian according to the instructions…

Finally, after a crisp bang, she felt like she was filled with energy. Then, a few rays of light which signified her leveling up shone…

It took a long time for the light to disappear. Su Ruoxi stared at the red Mystique Energy at her fingertips. It was unexpected. She managed to cultivate and even managed to level up! Also, except for being water natured, she had the rare fire nature… This meant that she could become an alchemist and artificer! It was great…
