Chapter 243 - Feeling Comfortable
Unlike most fruits that would have a certain kind of texture, this gentle fragrance turned to liquid energy the moment it entered her mouth.
The energy was refreshing, and it made her feel completely at ease. Her body, which had previously been under pressure to keep the Qi within her dantian was relaxing, and she could feel how every cell within was changing and evolving.
It did not recreate her body, such as the Qilin horn would have done, however, it brought the body to the most perfect state that was possible.
Although it was not as great of a result, it was still much better than what Bai Rouyun would be able to achieve with her training alone.
The process of recreating a body was long and painful, however, the feeling of perfecting the body was very comfortable.
It felt as if she was being submerged in a warm bath that enveloped her in a gentle and soft coc.o.o.n, making her feel warm but not hot.
The experience was very different from the usual torture that one would have to undergo while training, but it was no less dangerous. Pain was able to keep one focused and alert, however this feeling of comfort would naturally make the mind at ease, and slowly lure the cultivator into relaxing and enjoying the process.
When one was undergoing this change, it would indeed be most beneficial if the cultivator would succ.u.mb to the pleasure and fully accept the changes, so when taking the fruit, one had to be very confident on the location they had picked.
If this had been her past life, then Bai Rouyun would not have rushed to consume the fruit, but she would have waited until she had found a very remote and hidden place where no one would be able to find her, however, she was no longer alone.
Although she had not spent much time alongside the other members of the Eternal Shadow Palace, she had complete trust in their ability to protect her, so she allowed her mind to become hazy and for her body to soften as she lay down on her bed, observing the ecstatic feeling of changes that were happening in her body.
The process was not long, it took her an afternoon to reach perfection, but the aftereffects made her so soft that she had no urge to leave the bed. Deciding that she had been very successful this day, she turned to her side and wrapped the quilt around her body, after which she closed her eyes and fell into a deep slumber.
The many members of the Eternal Shadow Palace were not surprised when they noticed that Bai Rouyun did not leave her room the rest of the day, but they did not know that she had succeeded in perfecting her body, they just a.s.sumed that she was cultivating.
The sun was breaking through the clouds as the chirping sounds of birds could be heard outside the window. There was a low noise, indicating that the busy streets of Canglan City were already crowded, and that the day was no longer new.
Bai Rouyun lazily stretched her body as she rose from the bed. She had previously been known as the most beautiful woman in the Richu Empire, so one would not believe that she could be much more attractive than before, however, while she did not seem to have changed much, there was a strange feeling of innocence and purity surrounding her, which could make any person who looked at her stunned.
Bai Rouyun"s personality was not a soft and gentle beauty, but her body gave such an impression, making many confused when looking at her.
There was a strange aura that flowed from her body which made it so that anyone who looked at her would be blinded by her beauty, but not dare to approach.
She was like the newfallen snow, pure and innocent, but would be affected by the slightest touch.
Bai Rouyun herself did not know that these changes had happened to her. She felt an indescribable comfort as she slowly walked into the washing room where she soaked in the water before slowly getting ready to leave her chambers.
There was no urgency to rush to the inst.i.tute today, nor did she feel any worry about cultivating as quickly as possible.
The Qi that had acc.u.mulated while she had been unable to use her energy had broken through while she slept, and her strength had reached the Innate Realm, Yellow Tier, Fifth Layer.
This strength was already considered outstanding for someone of her age, not to mention for a person who had merely cultivated for a short time.
Bai Rouyun knew very well that one had to take things at a steady pace, so after putting on a white dress, she entered the Primal Chaos Dimension.
Inside this dimension things were similar to how they had been before.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Bao were both sitting next to her hut, looking at the two wrestling creatures on the ground in front of them.
Xiao Mao and Xiao Hua were seemingly serious about the battle, but the Cloud Leopard did not seem to be able to overwhelm the Golden Emperor Vine, as it had grown much stronger during the time within the Primal Chaos Dimension.
Bai Rouyun did not rush to stop the two. She could see that while they were competing with full focus, they had no intention of actually harming each other, so from the looks of it, they should be training.
As she observed closer, she found that Xiao Mao had actually broken through as well. However, it was still not the opponent of Xiao Hua, who was able to grow numerous vines and restrict its movements.
The Cloud Leopard was known for its agility, so when it got caught, its combat ability would drop drastically.
