Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

247 Closed-Door Cultivation

“That’s fine, as long as you’re clear about it,” said Master Lingxu with a nod.

After Dong Xi watched his Master and Little Senior Sister leave, she did not return to her cave dwelling directly. Instead, she used Earth Shrinking to immediately go to the Cultivation Technique Hall.

When they passed by Rui Ming, they even specially sent him two bottles of Vitality Reinforcement Pills.

Rui Ming saw that Junior Sister Dong Xi was so busy that she did not have time.

He also went to find his Master and said, “Master, I’m going into seclusion.”

Rui Ming’s Master had a puzzled look on his face. Rui Ming had always been eating, drinking, and having fun every day. When a demonic beast reached a certain age, its cultivation would naturally rise, and it would not need to cultivate like humans.

“Why do you suddenly have such a realization?” asked Rui Ming’s Master.

Rui Ming furrowed his brows and said, “Junior Sister Dong Xi has been cultivating like crazy every day. Her cultivation level is already much higher than mine. Even my speed is slower than hers. She just entered the sect, and she’s already at the third level of the Qi Refinement stage. I’m still the same even now…”

Rui Ming’s Master was stunned and immediately said, “What’s Dong Xi’s current cultivation level?”

Rui Ming’s eyes lit up when he mentioned Dong Xi. He immediately said, “I can’t really tell, but it’s definitely higher than mine. Don’t you know? Dong Xi won against Duan Leng from the Equipment Refining Sect in the arena. Duan Leng is at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement stage!”

When Rui Ming’s Master heard this, he was even more surprised and said in disbelief, “Is she that powerful?”

Rui Ming’s Master was filled with regret. If he had been more determined and accepted Dong Xi as his disciple, wouldn’t she be his favorite disciple now?

Rui Ming decided to go into closed-door cultivation, and his Master could not persuade him otherwise. He could only tell Rui Ming not to lock the door and to immediately send a message if anything went wrong.

Rui Ming obediently agreed. He returned to the cave and changed back to his original body. He thought about the inheritance within the clan and he had to work hard.

Dong Xi once again arrived at the Cultivation Technique Hall. The door of the hall slowly opened to welcome Dong Xi. The portrait of the Master was still inside. Dong Xi knelt on the ground and bowed, and the scene changed.

Dong Xi picked up the cultivation technique and flipped to the next page. She appeared in the golden space again.

The shadow held a long sword in his hand, bowed, and then immediately stabbed over.

Dong Xi immediately leaned back and dodged the attack. She then took out her long sword and attacked.

There was no way to temper one’s body here, and one could only train in movement techniques and sword techniques. Dong Xi did not need to go head-to-head with him.

Dong Xi’s Earth Shrinking movement technique was suitable for traveling, but not for fighting enemies. Dong Xi found that every time her attack was about to hit the shadow, the shadow would always dodge.

After a few rounds, Dong Xi finally understood that the movement technique the other party was using was of a higher level. Dong Xi followed along and learned both the sword technique and the movement technique, slowly merging them together.

As Dong Xi’s cultivation level increased, she spent more time here. Dong Xi was a little happy.

She could have such a one-on-one coach, and she did not even need to spend any money. It was a good thing that fell from the sky.

Dong Xi was very serious in his training. The communication jade slip that she had placed at the side lit up, and Dong Xi immediately left the golden space.

Dong Xi opened her eyes and quickly checked the jade slip.

It was a message from Senior Sister Wang Ying, telling Dong Xi to hurry up and participate in the competition.

This time, Dong Xi was matched with a tenth level Qi Refinement opponent called Zhuang Sheng, who was also a sword cultivator.

This person was someone she was familiar with. Dong Xi had sparred with him in the Sword Sect before.

At that time, they did not use spiritual power or cultivation techniques. They just sparred with each other.

Dong Xi was no match for Zhuang Sheng. She had already lost four times in the previous sparring.

It was because of this that Dong Xi understood Zhuang Sheng’s swordsmanship very well.

When Dong Xi rushed to the arena, Ke Xin was already waiting at the side. Ke Xin had already lost her first match, and Dong Xi’s defeat of Duan Leng had shocked Ke Xin. As such, she had come early to wait, wanting to see her sister’s heroic bearing.

Hearing the others say that the person on the stage was at the tenth level of the Qi Refinement stage, Ke Xin started to worry. Could Little Xi win? Ke Xin saw Dong Xi walking over and immediately said, “Little Xi, other people say that this guy is at the tenth level of the Qi Refinement stage, you… Can you win?”

Dong Xi, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression. She said, “As a sword cultivator, I just need to advance courageously. It’s not the first time I’ve lost to him anyway. I just need to do my best and leave the rest to Heaven’s will.”

Done talking, Dong Xi directly went up the ring.

Zhuang Sheng looked like a scholar who stood aloof from worldly affairs, but those who had sparred with him would not think so.

Zhuang Sheng’s swordsmanship was very sharp. There was almost no defense, and he was very aggressive in his offense to compensate for defence. It was very powerful.

Seeing that Dong Xi had arrived, Zhuang Sheng saluted and said, “Junior Sister, please advise me.”

“Senior Brother, you’re too humble. It should be you who gave me some advice,” Dong Xi immediately replied.

Zhuang Sheng shook his head. Although he had won against Dong Xi a few times before, he was not arrogant at all. He said, “If it’s just a competition of sword techniques, I might not lose. But Junior Sister, what you know isn’t just sword techniques. I might not be your match either.”
