Seeing that she was able to move easier than before, Yuki started to do some basic exercises that didn't require much movement and increased the flexibility of her muscles.
She had been in this room for half an hour now, and only now was she starting to do some movements that could improve her muscles.
'It seems like I have a lot of work ahead of me.'
Yuki moved her body around as she was doing yoga. This type of exercise could stretch and strengthen her muscles at the same time. With the steam pushing against her back, it helped her hold the position better, and go deeper into the stretch.
Yuki slowly got used to the heat and steam. This type of training was something that she had never experienced, so it was a welcomed experience for her.
'Maybe if I trained like this when I was younger, then I would be at least at level 24 by now.'
Yuki continued her training as the day went on. She was sweating like a pig and didn't have the need to cultivate right now, as Kongli is formed by both physical and mental energy. Cultivating merely allows the Kongli to strengthen itself and stop it from dissipating, plus it can help increase the strength of spirit skills and the attributes of Kongli, but it doesn't allow it to multiply.
As the day went on, Yuki had finally decided to go get something to eat, and quickly went out of the Heart of Metal, feeling refreshed. Yuki stretched her arms and cracked her neck, and enjoyed the feel of the cold air on her skin.
The feeling of hot steam and cold air was something that Yuki had gotten used to, so it didn't bother her too much. But she still hated the stench of sweat on her body, which is why she cleaned herself up after training for a couple hours.
Yuki made her way over to a food stall, and bought some noodles with pork belly and sat down on a table, enjoying the moment of peace. After finishing the bowl of noodles, Yuki could feel her stomach bursting, and was satisfied with the food that she ate.
After a quick training session, Yuki could feel her body being stronger than yesterday, and this training made her blood flow better than before, making her feel energetic and full of life. But she knew this wasn't the end of her training, so she continued training for the next three day's straight without any stops, and could feel her muscles aching like never before.
During those days, Yuki had once again gotten stronger and had reached level 20 in a blink of an eye, and at this time, her body was 50% stronger than before. Her muscles were well toned and she had the looks of a fit teenage girl. Yuki had always trained in her past life, so she already knew the importance of maintaining a good body.
Although she reached level 20 and could use some external means to break the bottleneck and enter level 21, or known as in the Sun and Moon Kingdom, Rank 8: Commoner Class, she refused to do that and wanted to get there by her own strength.
In her past life, she also knows some things about these bottlenecks, and are genuinely hard to break through, but she knew the benefits of breaking through using her own strength.
A good example of this would be her first spirit skill!
Yuki walked out of the Heart of Metal and went to the Levy Stores. The Levy Stores are a place where Sect disciples can go to get unique items and resources that can be used for cultivation, missions, and much more. Of course, you need to pay for these goods, but the Levy Stores won't lie to you.
Right now, all she needs is some medicine that can aid in recovery and recovery pills that can restore energy quickly. This will cut off some time in her cultivation.
After looking around for a while, Yuki had finally found a small building that was as white as snow, with a large sign that has the words 'Fairy Snake Skin' on it. Yuki knew this store is famous in the Sect for giving the best of the best, and it's really showing it!
Yuki opened the door and the first thing she saw was a middle-aged man sitting on a chair with his eyes closed. There were multiple glass shelves that had a variety of medicinal herbs, and in the back was a room that was surrounded with a purple light.
"Are you interested in our premium medicinal herbs? All of them are tested and are the best quality." The middle-aged man spoke, opening his eyes and looking at Yuki. "Where are you seeking this old man for any problems?"
Yuki shook her head and said, "No, I'm looking for some recovery and energy pills, preferably something that can speed up my cultivation."
"I see! I have just the thing you need, young miss." The middle-aged man said as he jumped off from his chair and went to the back of the building where the purple light was, and came out with a white box and a scroll in his hand.
"Here is what you're looking for, young miss, it's worth 300 Sect credits." The middle-aged man started, laying down the box and scroll on the counter.
"Erm, what exactly is this?" Yuki asked, staring at the box without any emotions. If it was her a couple of weeks ago, she would be asking a plethora of questions.
"This patch of skin comes from a high ranking Jade Spirit Tree of Vitality. It can repair the muscles of the human body and also give you endless stamina for eight hours, but it will slowly decay after that. Also, the scroll is a manual on how to put it on properly" The middle-aged man explained. "For this patch of skin, it's worth 600 Sect Credits alone, but since I like you, I'll cut it for 450."
Yuki was shocked when she heard this. She had no idea this was worth so much! She quickly placed down the credits, took the box, and walked out of the Levy Stores.
