"Grandpa, let's enter seclusion from today onward! I've already spoken with President Lan. There should be no one disturbing us," Leng Ruoxue said.
"Okay, let's try to break through." Leng Qingtian walked toward his residence and prepared to enter seclusion as soon as possible. Lin Liang and the others also dispersed…
"Qing Jue," Leng Ruoxue called out softly to the void.
"Big Sister." Qing Jue appeared.
"Qing Jue, everyone plans to enter seclusion for a month. If there's anything important, wake me up. If not, wake us up a month later," Leng Ruoxue ordered.
"Okay, Big Sister," Qing Jue answered.
After settling everything, Leng Ruoxue walked into the purple bamboo house with Freak…
A month passed by quickly.
Leng Ruoxue and the others in the Heaven and Earth Bracelet absorbed the rich spiritual energy in the space day and night. Everyone gained a lot.
While cultivating, Leng Ruoxue vaguely felt that she was about to break through, so she opened her eyes…
She looked at the time. It had actually been a month. Time really passed quickly. During this month, she had absorbed a lot of spiritual energy and converted it into mystic power. Now, the mystic power in her body had roughly accumulated to about a third. It wasn't a lot, but breaking through to Elementary Mystic wouldn't be a problem.
But it would probably take a long time if she wanted to break through the fourth level of the Heaven Defying Art. Moreover, after breaking through the fourth level, her strength would be equivalent to the Great Mystics of this world. After breaking through the fifth level, her strength would be equivalent to the Mystic Supremacies of this world. Only at that time would she become a true powerhouse of this world, and her natal flame would also be close to perfection.
"Xue'er, you're awake?" Freak was overjoyed when he opened his eyes and found that Xue'er woke up earlier than him.
"I just woke up. You… are going to break through?" Leng Ruoxue said while looking at Freak.
"Yes, Xue'er. We can all break through and become Elementary Mystics before the competition," Freak said. Hehe, he wanted to break through with Xue'er!
"Freak, let's go out! I wonder if Grandpa and the others are awake yet," Leng Ruoxue said while looking at Freak.
"Okay."
They stood up and walked out of the purple bamboo house.
"Big Sister, you're awake," Qing Jue said.
"Yes, Qing Jue, you've worked hard." Leng Ruoxue caressed Qing Jue's little head.
"Qing Jue didn't do much. Big Sister, President Lan came twice in the past month, and City Lord Pig came a few times. But they were both stopped by Rise," Qing Jue reported. He had sent Rise out to look after the residence ever since his big sister and the others went into seclusion, so Rise sent all those people back.
"Oh, did they say anything important?" Leng Ruoxue asked.
"President Lan came to take a look. As for City Lord Pig, it's about the compensation. But Rise already asked him to look for President Lan according to Big Sister's instructions," Qing Jue explained.
"Yes, well done." Leng Ruoxue nodded. She was becoming more and more satisfied with her beasts' ability to handle situations.
"Qing Jue, has Grandpa and the others emerged from seclusion?" Leng Ruoxue asked. Although everything in her space was under her control, she didn't need to worry about it since Qing Jue was here.
Qing Jue raised his little head and asked, "No. Do you want me to wake them up?"
"Not for now. Wake them when we set off. I'll go find President Lan," Leng Ruoxue said after some thought.
Leng Ruoxue brought Freak out of the bracelet and saw Rise in his original form basking under the sun in the yard, looking very comfortable and leisurely…
Seeing Rise's body that was as huge as a small mountain, Leng Ruoxue couldn't help laughing. Alas, outsiders might faint from fright if they saw Rise's current appearance.
"Master!" After sensing his master's aura, Rise quickly transformed, wrapped himself around Leng Ruoxue's snow-white wrist, and kept acting coquettishly.
Leng Ruoxue caressed his soft body and said softly, "You're quite good at enjoying yourself!"
"Hehe, it's okay!" Rise said shyly and hid his little head under his body.
Leng Ruoxue smiled helplessly and then said to Freak, "Freak, let's go find President Lan!"
"Okay." Freak nodded. The two of them left the residence and walked toward the Mystic Association.
When they arrived at the Mystic Association, someone welcomed Leng Ruoxue and Freak warmly.
"Hello, are you two here to convert your spiritual power?" the receptionist asked politely and warmly.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the male receptionist she had never seen and asked curiously, "Are you new?"
"Yes, I've only been here for a month," the receptionist explained.
"Oh, we're here to look for President Lan." Leng Ruoxue nodded in realization.
"Please wait a moment. I'll go notify him," the receptionist said respectfully. He definitely didn't dare to neglect anyone who came to look for President Lan.
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue pulled Freak to a seat in the hall after the receptionist went upstairs to report.
A moment later, the receptionist came down from the second floor.
He walked to Leng Ruoxue and Freak and said, "The president invites you up."
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue and Freak stood up and went straight to the door of the president's room on the second floor. They knocked and directly pushed the door open.
"You two are finally willing to come out," Lan Ming said helplessly. Alas! They wouldn't have been able to make it in time if they came out any later.
"Didn't we say we would enter seclusion?! What's the rush?!" Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.
Lan Ming rolled his eyes at Leng Ruoxue and said lightly, "I was afraid that you would be in seclusion for too long!"
"President Lan, you have to learn to trust us. I will definitely keep my promise," Leng Ruoxue said confidently.
"Yes, little ancestor. I was wrong, okay?" Lan Ming didn't know what to do with them.. He had given it much thought during this month, and he was clearly not their match.
