Chapter 309.4: Success In Rescuing Oneself
But she knew very well that breaking through to the ninth level would not be something easy, or she would not have only attained till the eighth level’s middle stages at the point just before her death in her previous life, and breaking through beyond that would be even more demanding and arduous.
And once she breaks through to the ninth level, this place would probably not be able to hold her anymore.
But though she could feel that her cultivation had grown stronger by quite a bit, those things around her ankles were still things she was unable to free herself from. With her freedom being restricted for the first time like this and trapped in such a tight s.p.a.ce without being able to move around, she was feeling rather helpless.
The temperature in the Mind Free Peak was absolutely brutal, one that made a person feel a kind of stinging chill that seeps right into their bones and nothing else.
A gust of icy cold wind blew in through a tiny window at one of the highest points in the prison, which immediately lowered the temperature in there by quite a bit. A few slender thin white needle shaped leaves flew in through that window and fell onto the pool, floating quietly on the water’s surface.
Qing Yu stretched her hand out to pick up a leaf and stared at it in puzzlement. What kind of a plant did this leaf come from? She has never seen something like this before.
As an outstanding Elixir Cultivator, she would naturally need to be highly familiar with all kinds of plants and herbs, which was one of the most basic requirements.
Many kinds of herbs were also highly similar to each other in many ways and one could easily be mistaken with just the slightest bit of carelessness.
But the leaf of this species of plant was highly unique, or at least till this day, she had never seen any species of plant that was similar to it.
It was such a thin needle shaped leaf and looking more closely at it, the leaf even had a tiny saw toothed edge.
Qing Yu reached a hand out very cautiously to go touch the saw toothed edge and ended up getting p.r.i.c.ked by it, bright red blood immediately beading on her fingertip to drip into the water before disappearing from sight.
Her eyes widened in surprise, seemingly not expecting that such a soft and flimsy leaf could actually p.r.i.c.k through her skin.
After the leaf p.r.i.c.ked her finger and was stained with her blood, the originally pristine white leaf actually turned to become blood red, and its soft supple texture actually became hard, strong as steel.
Held in Qing Yu’s hand, it no longer felt like an ordinary leaf, but very much more like a razor blade that was as thin as a cicada’s wings.
For some unknown reason, as though she was possessed, she slowly sank as she submerged herself into the water to feel towards the bonds around her ankles, before she reached out and lightly sliced the thin leaf blade over her shackles.
In that instant, unbelievably just like the incredulous thought running through her mind, she felt the heavy feeling around her feet suddenly disappear.
She has broken free from those things!
Uncontrollably, Qing Yu’s heart started to beat faster, and with a splash, she nimbly swam her way out from the pool of water and climbed up onto sh.o.r.e.
There was a hidden switch on the prison door and everytime that Lian Shi came in, she had seen him demonstrate it many times, knowing it very well in her heart.
Lian Shi had been so certain that she would not be able to escape from the place and had never tried to hide it from her before.
