Chapter 1008: Closed Practice!

"Sister Xue, are you all right?" Xi’er asked in a worried tone.

"Don’t worry. I am all right. Let’s go back into the pagoda for now." Tang Li Xue took a deep breath to calm herself down before she replied to Xi’er.

Xi’er still felt worried about Tang Li Xue’s health, so she put Tang Li Xue onto Lucia’s back before they headed back into the pagoda.

When they returned to the first floor, Earth Floor, they met with Little Loki and Yaya, who were looking for Tang Li Xue because the previous incident and the shocking change of the pagoda, which made them worried about Tang Li Xue.

"It is okay, everyone. You all do not need to worry too much about it. It is just that we may have to stay longer in this pagoda this time. At least until I completely recovered all of my power." Tang Li Xue explained to everyone.

Tang Li Xue tried to reassure everyone, so they would not feel panic or impatient, since they might have to stay in this pagoda for several months.

But Tang Li Xue clearly thought too much about it because several months were not long at all for Xi’er, Little Loki, Yaya, and Lucia.

In fact, for Little Loki, Xi’er, and everyone, sleeping for a few years straight was completely normal, so several months of time were no different than a blink of an eye for them.

"Yaaya~!"

"Meoow~!"

"Kweek~!"

Little Loki, Yaya, and Lucia replied to Tang Li Xue to ease her, but Tang Li Xue could sense that they seemed really happy about her decision instead.

Tang Li Xue raised her eyebrow as she thought: ’Err... Don’t tell me that these little guys think that they can slack off and play around to their heart’s content in these few months?!’

’Damn it~! I am so envious! How could they slack off every day for several months while I have to work hard to practice [Void Divinities Refining Method]?!’

’Cough, I mean, it is not good for children to slack off too much, so as their elder, I have to give them some homework... well, A LOT OF homework, hehehe~!’ Tang Li Xue smiled and nodded in satisfaction at how considerate she was to everyone.

When Little Loki, Yaya, and Lucia saw the charming smile on Tang Li Xue’s stunningly beautiful face, they were not fascinated by her beauty at all.

On the contrary, their bodies shuddered slightly as they suddenly had a bad hunch.

"Yaya~!" Tang Li Xue called Yaya with a gentle tone.

"Ya?" The obedient and innocent Yaya immediately flew to approach Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue patted Yaya’s tiny head while saying: "With [Storm Calling Pearl], you should be able to add the lightning elemental to all of your wind-elemental divine abilities, but your control over lightning was too unskillful and scattered, so in these few months, you have to train your control over the lightning elemental on the lightning floor."

"Not only can you improve your control over the lightning elemental, but you can also temper your body with lightning elemental on the lightning floor. I believe you can quickly get stronger, Yaya, so please work hard, okay?" Tang Li Xue gave a thumbs-up to Yaya.

Yaya widened her eyes and stared at Tang Li Xue in disbelief.

She was such a small, cute, and fragile wind-elemental spirit, but you told her to train and got struck by lightning every day?!

"Don’t worry~! There are still so many wind-elemental precious resources left. I am sure it is more than enough to improve your strength by several levels. You can eat them every day as a snack after you train on the lightning floor." Tang Li Xue encouraged while taking out the spatial ring that contained the wind-elemental precious resources she previously looted from the Second Prince.

Yaya narrowed her cyan eyes and smiled happily, but when she stretched out her hands to take the spatial ring, Tang Li Xue gave the spatial ring to Xi’er instead.

"Xi’er, you will supervise Yaya’s training every day. You can only give the wind-elemental precious resources after she trains hard on the lightning floor." Tang Li Xue instructed Xi’er.

Yaya puffed her cheek and pouted unhappily at Tang Li Xue’s behavior.

"Lucia!" Tang Li Xue no longer paid any attention to Yaya and called Lucia instead.

Lucia stepped forward and delightfully shoved her feathered head to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue patted and caressed Lucia’s head while instructing: "You will go to the fire floor and ask the flame guardian to train you later."

"Your speed might be very fast, and you also have strong defense. Your only lack is in terms of offense. I am sure if you train under Flame Guardian, you can definitely improve your attack power." Tang Li Xue explained to Lucia.

Then, lastly, she glared at Little Loki and said: "From now on, you will have to train under Lightning Guardian. You can only eat after you get Lightning Guardian’s approval."

Little Loki frowned unhappily and put on its cute appearance to get Tang Li Xue’s pity.

Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue remained firm this time, and she even told Xi’er to supervise Little Loki too: "I am counting on you to supervise their training when I am in closed practice, Xi’er."

Xi’er nodded and replied in a solemn manner: "Don’t worry. Leave them to me, Sister Xue. You only need to focus on recovering your strength as soon as possible."

"I get it, but you... err, please don’t forget to train my ghost soldiers too." Tang Li Xue reminded Xi’er while feeling embarrassed because she felt that she had given too many tasks to Xi’er alone.

However, Xi’er did not feel unhappy or burdened by it.

Previously, she was already idle for thousands of years after all, so she was even happier when Tang Li Xue gave her many tasks to do instead.

After warning Yaya and Little Loki sternly for the second time, Tang Li Xue headed to the second floor, Water Floor, and began her closed practice there.

Xi’er also led Lucia, Yaya, and Little Loki to the fourth and fifth floors, so they could train diligently there.

The Water Guardian greeted Tang Li Xue so excitedly because Tang Li Xue managed to fulfill her promise to restore the spiritual energy of the pagoda.

"You really did it~! This level of spiritual energy even surpassed my expectations! How did you do it?!" The Water Guardian chattered nonstop in an excited tone.

Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue clearly could not tell it anything about [Restoration Elixir] or her System, so she could only vaguely answer Water Guardian’s questions before she told it that she needed to close practice in order to recover her strength.

After the Water Guardian no longer bothered her, Tang Li Xue began to sit cross-legged in the water while the Water Guardian rested in the corner of the Water Floor.

Tang Li Xue closed her topaz blue eyes and began to practice [Void Divinities Refining Method] without any distraction.

At the second level of [Void Divinities Refining Method], Tang Li Xue had to condense twenty ’Void Seeds’ in her twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians.

The difficulty was actually much higher than the previous first level, which only required condensing three ’Void Seeds’ in her three Dantians: Lower Dantian, Middle Dantian, and Upper Dantian.

The main reason was because the twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians were too fragile, while the space energy in her body was too violent and destructive.

Fortunately, the healing effect of the Water Floor had increased many times compared to before, so it could help her recover her injured meridians if something untoward happened later.

Tang Li Xue started to carefully refine the destructive space energy in her body bit by bit.

Then she slowly tried to condense a ’Void Seed’ on one of the twelve main meridians.

But just as the space energy almost solidified into ’Void Seed’..

Puff~!

Tang Li Xue suddenly spat a mouthful of blood and winced in pain.

She actually failed to condense the ’Void Seed’ and even almost destroyed one of her twelve main meridians.

"Damn it~! This is so troublesome..." Tang Li Xue opened her topaz blue eyes again and complained dejectedly.

Tang Li Xue immediately realized another problem of the second level of [Void Divinities Refining Method].

Compared to the three Dantians, the twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians were too small and narrow, like blood vessels.

Trying to condense Void Seed in the twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians was like inserting a destructive pellet into them.

No wonder that before ’Void Seed’ could form, it suddenly exploded and almost destroyed her meridian instead.

Fortunately, her ruined meridian was recovered to normal in only a few seconds thanks to the amazing water’s healing effect on the Water Floor.

Tang Li Xue resolutely tried to condense ’Void Seed’ on her meridian for the second time.

.....

...

.

While Tang Li Xue was doing closed practice inside the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda], all of her close friends in Lightwind Continent were still frantically searching for her whereabouts near the previous location of the secret realm.

Xiao Hei had also been searching for more than a month without eating or sleeping.

He even almost flipped the surrounding mountains and rivers upside down, but despite his effort, he still failed to find any clue about Tang Li Xue.

Ye Zhen, who was also looking for Tang Li Xue, finally could not hold on anymore and pulled Xiao Hei while saying: "All right, that is enough!"
