Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 699

Chapter 699: Chapter 33 Shi Liuli’s Suspicions Chapter 699 -33 Shi Liuli’s Suspicions “`

The Pill Root had finally finished growing.

Upon internal reflection, Luo Yan could see that within his Dantian, the meridians were clearly defined, resembling a dense bud that had yet to unfurl.

If one were to speak oddly, it looked somewhat like a woman’s uterus.

Considering that cultivating the Nascent Soul at the Nascent Soul Rank involves nurturing it, this comparison doesn’t seem entirely off.

The only difference is that women carry their own children, whereas the Nascent Soul that cultivators carry is a more elevated, energy-based form of themselves.

It’s as if a larva wraps itself in a cocoon, and the Nascent Soul is one’s own cocoon.

When a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Rank reaches Great Perfection and ascends to become an immortal, it is called “Feather Transformation”…

...

Therefore, when put this way, it really is quite similar to insects.

The problem now was that even after the Pill Root had finished growing, the Golden Core showed no signs of change.

From the Root Seeking Rank to the Obscure Weave Rank, according to records in the scripture scrolls, the Dantian needed to “rumble like thunder,” and the “Golden Core must quake incessantly,” but Luo Yan’s First Grade Golden Core showed no abnormalities at this time.

And yet the Pill Root truly had grown to its full extent, reaching the realm of Perfection.

Which meant, he had encountered another bottleneck.

For ordinary cultivators, the most feared thing is facing a bottleneck in their cultivation.

The reason is simple; each person’s bottleneck is different, so there is no proven shortcut to overcome them.

The methods used by others to break through their bottlenecks likely won’t work for oneself, hence it is quite normal for many to spend decades or even over a hundred years stalled before their bottleneck.

But Luo Yan did not fear bottlenecks because he understood that cultivating was like rowing upstream: if you do not progress, you regress.

He had the determination and the perseverance to overcome any bottleneck!

“My lady,” Luo Yan approached Shi Liuli, who was still instructing Shi Qing, and said with a smile, “Your husband has encountered another cultivation bottleneck.

Could you help me figure out where the opportunity to break through lies?”

Shi Liuli ignored him and continued speaking with Shi Qing:

“You see, my husband does have his strengths – at least in terms of the rate of cultivation, I’m afraid there’s not a single person in the Yuqing Sect who can catch up to him.”

Luo Yan: ???

Wait, what were you discussing just now?

Although he was quite skeptical, to avoid revealing any flaws, he quickly said with humility:

“My lady, do not praise me so.

There are many cultivators with exceptional gifts in the Yuqing Sect.

I dare not claim to be the best without reservation.”

“Hmm hmm,” Shi Liuli gave a perfunctory response, exchanged a few more words with Shi Qing, and then followed Luo Yan out of the room.

“Aren’t you going to explain?” she asked indifferently.

“Explain what?” Luo Yan feigned ignorance.

“About the issue with your rapid cultivation progress,” Shi Liuli asked calmly, “How long did you stay in the Root Seeking Rank?”

“As far as the Yuqing Sect goes, I have never heard of anyone who could break through both the Storing Spirit and Root Seeking stages within three to five years and arrive directly at the threshold of the Obscure Weave Realm.”

“I have no intention of prying into my husband’s privacy.

But as husband and wife, some things still need to be made clear.

If indeed my husband has used some growth-accelerating, essence-harming method, and I, as your wife, am not informed, do not care, do not correct, it would be a failure of my wifely duties.”

Luo Yan: ………

???G?.??

“Well, how should I put this?” he pretended to struggle with his response, while he carefully observed Shi Liuli’s expressions.

There’s a saying, “Where one marries, one follows,” and since Shi Liuli had become his Daoist Companion, with her nature, she certainly wouldn’t act against his interests.

Although she had doubts about the speed of his cultivation progress, such doubts were not nearly enough for her to leap to any conclusions about having multiple accounts.

All he needed to do was to muddle through the conversation, showing an attitude of inconvenience to discuss it further, and likely, with Liuli Lady’s cleverness, she would take the hint and not inquire further…

“Actually, I don’t know myself,” Luo Yan admitted with a spread of his hands, “It felt like an epiphany.

One day, after waking from meditative concentration, I suddenly reached the Great Perfection of the Root Seeking Rank.”

“`

Shi Liuli stared at him silently.

After a long while, she slowly lowered her eyelids and said,

“I understand.”

“But husband, although our Heavenly Craft Workshop is in need of high-rank cultivators, we’re not yet at the point where we need to break through our cultivation levels at any cost.”

“If there is anything troubling you, husband, you can always communicate with me at any time.

Can you?”

Luo Yan was deeply touched when he heard her words, knowing that Shi Liuli thought he had used some kind of shortcut to rapidly increase his cultivation level to make up for the absence of Elder Shi Ding.

That was why she said such concerned words.

He then took Shi Liuli into his arms, gently squeezing her fragrant shoulders, and reassured her,

“Don’t worry, my lady.

I have not used any evil techniques that harm the vital source.

I just… cough, my cultivation progress has sped up a bit.

I actually don’t know what’s going on myself.”

Shi Liuli gave a hum, lingering tenderly in his embrace for a moment, before she took out six copper coins, and threw them into the air.

After repeating this several times, she finally put away the copper coins and fell into a contemplative state.

Luo Yan dared not disturb her, allowing her to think on her own.

After a while, Shi Liuli finally said,

“This hexagram…

is quite strange.”

“Strange in what way?” Luo Yan hurriedly asked.

“You should know, husband, that a so-called cultivation bottleneck is, in fact, the pursuit of a transformation in one’s state of mind,” Shi Liuli said solemnly.

“Since it is a change in state of mind, there must be something that can touch the heartstrings to trigger it.”

“According to the hexagram, you, husband, should be facing a major life choice that represents the opportunity for you to break through to the Obscure Weave Realm… However, I am curious, how would you, living such a comfortable life now, free from worries about cultivation expenses and trivial matters, come across such a life choice?”

Luo Yan was also puzzled upon hearing this: What kind of major life choice?

Could it be that Ah Jing is going to leave me?

Hahaha…

“I have no idea,” he said, showing a bewildered expression.

“Did this life choice say when it might come?”

“I don’t know,” Shi Liuli shook her head, “The hexagram is too chaotic this time, especially in terms of time.

I really don’t know when this opportunity will come… you just need to wait patiently, husband.”

Luo Yan understood in his heart.

He continued to hold and play with Shi Liuli, uttering sweet nothings, thinking he had managed to cheer her up before he quietly left.

Shi Liuli watched her husband’s retreating figure, her gaze gradually becoming more piercing.

First, it was the sudden Core Formation, and then the rapid promotion…

If it was just once or twice, it could be explained by a stroke of luck, but what about these continuous breakthroughs in realm?

Unless there was some elder secretly cultivating the husband, sparing no precious materials and treasures, that could barely explain it.

No, if that person were the Wan Xiang Immortal, then the cultivation would surely be comprehensive.

Apart from the pouring of cultivation resources, there must also be support in the status within the sect.

Otherwise, it is merely cultivating a fighter, which is meaningless.

This elder, certainly cannot be the Wan Xiang Immortal!

So who in the world is it?

She threw the six copper coins once again, then caught them to see their faces.

After repeating several times, the hexagram became even more chaotic, until at last, it was nearly unreadable.

Has someone blocked the divination from heaven?

Shi Liuli closed her eyes in silence, her expression as tranquil as an ancient well, with no hint as to what she was thinking.
