The next day, as the sky just began to brighten, Baili Hongzhuang emerged from the cave.
After a night of cultivation, her previously aching body had improved somewhat.
Although there was still some pain, it was within her tolerable range.
After taking the Seven Treasures Pill, she could clearly feel that the spiritual power within her body had become stronger than before. This was an improvement in her strength!
Glancing around, Baili Hongzhuang didn't find Emperor Bei Chen and Heimu. Instead of continuing to search, she went back to practice beneath the waterfall.
She was now racing against time. In order to achieve good results in the Royal Hunting Competition, she needed to improve her cultivation as quickly as possible.
The reason she wanted to achieve good results in the competition was twofold. First, she wanted to wash away the reputation of being useless, and second, there were valuable rewards in each Royal Hunting Competition, and this time there happened to be something she needed. Naturally, she couldn't let it slip by!
With the experience from yesterday, Baili Hongzhuang was able to endure for a few more moments during her training. However, it was still only a few short seconds before her body was washed away again.
Although it was only a few seconds, Baili Hongzhuang felt the same joy in her heart. As long as there was progress, she believed that one day she would complete the tempering of her body!
Time flew by in the blink of an eye.
Every day, Baili Hongzhuang would train herself to exhaustion before stopping cultivation, and at night, she would take the Seven Treasures Pill to continue her practice inside the cave.
Under such intense training, Baili Hongzhuang's progress was extremely fast.
Coupled with the unique cultivation method she practiced, even Emperor Bei Chen was shocked by her speed of improvement.
Even with the assistance of the Seven Treasures Pill, it was impossible for Baili Hongzhuang's strength to improve so rapidly.
Heimu was already in complete admiration of Baili Hongzhuang. He had initially thought that it would be easy for Baili Hongzhuang to persist on the first day but increasingly difficult each day afterward. However, Baili Hongzhuang was able to endure for longer periods of time each day, as if she couldn't feel the pain and despair.
If he could have Baili Hongzhuang's perseverance, his own strength would surely improve.
Every day, Emperor Bei Chen and Heimu would hunt different demonic beasts and bring them back. They would roast the meat of the demonic beasts for their meals.
Heimu's skill in roasting meat was unexpectedly good, and every day Baili Hongzhuang could have a satisfying meal. Moreover, the flesh and blood of the demonic beasts were filled with abundant energy, which greatly replenished her physical strength.
Although Baili Hongzhuang didn't know if Emperor Bei Chen did it intentionally, she was very grateful to him.
Of course, that was under the condition that the guy didn't talk too much.
Finally, the Royal Hunting Competition was about to begin, and Baili Hongzhuang and the other two returned home the day before.
Through this period of cultivation, Baili Hongzhuang keenly felt the changes in her body.
Although her body was still slender, her strength was no longer comparable to before. Her muscles had become more defined, and even her skin had become more radiant.
Under the nourishment of the demonic beast meat, the problem of malnutrition that had persisted for over a decade had been completely resolved. Her whole body radiated a lustrous sheen, and even her strength had greatly increased.
In the afternoon, Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Bei Chen finally returned to the Chen Palace.
After spending more than ten days in the wilderness, returning to the Chen Palace gave her an indescribable sense of familiarity.
The Li Chengqian family had recently been worried sick about Li Yuyue's freckles.
Seeing that Baili Hongzhuang hadn't returned for a long time, they had sought out many physicians, but they all gave the same diagnosis.
