Chapter 12: The Gratitude of the Woman in White



[Cultivation is harder than you thought. Even after successfully entering the path, absorbing spiritual energy into your Qi Sea is not easy.]

[Most of your cultivation efforts have been in vain.]

[You know that for highly talented geniuses, there is a chance to absorb a strand of spiritual energy into their Qi Sea with each cycle of their technique.]

[For those with average talent, the success rate is about fifty percent.]

[As for you, the chance of absorbing spiritual energy with each cycle is only a few percent.]

[This slow cultivation speed makes you realize once again how poor your talent is. The fake spiritual root truly lives up to its name.]

[In the third year, one day, a woman in white suddenly appears above the ruins.]

[You can\'t tell how she appeared, as if she materialized out of thin air.]

[You instantly understand that she must be a cultivator, and a very powerful one at that.]

[You feel a bit uneasy. Previous simulations have given you a bad impression of cultivators, as every encounter ended in death.]

[But to save yourself, you need to understand cultivators, so you muster the courage to approach.]

[However, after walking for a long time, you find yourself still in the same spot, not having moved an inch closer.]

[You realize that she doesn\'t want you to get near.]

[You don\'t know her intentions, but since she only prevents you from approaching, you think she doesn\'t harbor ill will towards you.]

[So you stand quietly in place, not wanting to anger her, hoping for a chance to ask her some questions about cultivation.]

[In your eyes, the woman in white keeps staring at the ruins, lost in thought.]

[After a long while, she suddenly sighs and waves her long sleeve.]

[Instantly, you feel the ground shake, and a Taoist temple slowly rises from the ruins.]

[You are dumbfounded by the scene, unable to comprehend such immense power.]

[You can\'t tell if the temple was buried underground or if she created it with her immense power.]

[Either way, it makes you acutely aware of the strength of cultivators.]

[Half a day passes in the blink of an eye, and the ground stops shaking. The temple, named Heavenly Profound Temple, is fully revealed.]

[Before you can take a closer look, the woman in white suddenly appears beside you.]

[She asks if you built the graveyard.]

[You don\'t hide it and nod in affirmation.]

[You figure she must be a friend or descendant of the sect that once stood here. Admitting it might earn you some goodwill.]

[The woman in white stares at you for a long time, as if judging whether you\'re lying.]

[After a while, she thanks you for burying her dear friend and offers to help you abolish your cultivation as a reward.]

[You are startled; is this how she repays kindness?]

[You shake your head repeatedly, unwilling to give up your cultivation.]

[The woman in white doesn\'t force you but tells you that cultivating in this area will lead to certain death.]

[You ask for the reason, but she just shakes her head, saying it\'s not something you should know.]

[Seeing that she won\'t explain, you change the topic and ask about other aspects of cultivation.]

[Unfortunately, she doesn\'t answer, only saying that with your current strength, knowing more would only lead to a quicker death.]

[Finally, seeing your determination not to abolish your cultivation, she hesitates for a moment and then casts a rune at you.]

[You are caught off guard, wondering why she suddenly wants to attack you.]

[But soon, you realize you were mistaken. After the rune hits you, you don\'t feel any discomfort.]

[The woman in white tells you that it\'s a Breath Concealing Talisman, which has fused into your body and will last for 20 years. It can conceal your cultivation, making it undetectable.]

[Hearing this, you breathe a sigh of relief. You thought she was going to force you to abolish your cultivation!]

[However, she also says that if you actively use your powers, the talisman won\'t be able to conceal your cultivation. She advises you to avoid revealing your cultivation unless absolutely necessary.]

[You take her words to heart, deciding not to expose your strength unless it\'s a matter of life and death.]

[After that, the woman in white throws you a storage ring, saying it contains some cultivation resources, which should last you a long time given your aptitude.]

[You thank her profusely, feeling overjoyed inside.]

[You know that her kindness is because you buried her friend.]

[You keep sighing inwardly, thinking that good deeds indeed bring good rewards!]

[What you did out of respect for the dead has unexpectedly brought you so many benefits.]

[Three days pass in the blink of an eye. The woman in white walks out of the Heavenly Profound Temple, gives you a glance, and then disappears.]

[You check around to confirm that she has indeed left.]

[During these few days, aside from the first day, you had no further contact with the woman in white. She spent her time in the temple, lost in thought, not allowing you to approach.]

[You don\'t know her story or her name, and you don\'t care.]

[The only disappointment is that you didn\'t get much information from her.]

In reality, Jiang Yifeng felt a bit disappointed as he read this.

"Sigh, it\'s still because I\'m not strong enough!"

He sighed.

It was clear that the woman in white in the simulation knew a lot.

She wasn\'t unwilling to speak but said that with his current strength, knowing more would only lead to a quicker death.

It was obviously for his own good.

If he were stronger, he might have learned many secrets from her.

Jiang Yifeng collected his thoughts and continued to look at the simulation panel.

[In the days that followed, you returned to your routine of daily cultivation and hunting.]

[Two months later, you used up a Spirit Stone, and your Qi Sea gained dozens of strands of spiritual energy.]

[You sigh, realizing that cultivation indeed requires resources!]

[Compared to your previous cultivation speed, where you could only absorb a dozen strands of spiritual energy from the air in a year, now you gained dozens in just two months. The difference is stark.]

[One Spirit Stone is equivalent to years of hard cultivation.]

[This effectively mitigates your talent deficiency in drawing spiritual energy.]

[You understand that this feeling is because of your poor talent.]

[For those with good talent, one Spirit Stone wouldn\'t make much difference.]

[However, you also know that having Spirit Stones doesn\'t eliminate the disadvantage of poor talent.]

[Your technique\'s operation speed is still slow, allowing you to cycle it only once a day.]

[This is all related to talent.]

[This is why the woman in white said the resources she gave you would last a long time.]

[The storage ring contains nearly a thousand Spirit Stones. At your current rate of absorbing one Spirit Stone every two months, it\'s enough to last you a lifetime!]
