Chapter 885: Chapter 685: Awakening
"Qhianqhian..." Watching Luo Qianqian’s face slowly regain color, Qin Nuan felt no relief. She had been forcefully giving her water these past few days; otherwise, Luo Qianqian wouldn’t have even touched a drop.
But then, there is no Western medicine on this mountain, no glucose or anything like that. It simply doesn’t exist.
Luo Xiying repeatedly watched the surveillance footage capturing Luo Qianqian’s behavior, frowning, "How exactly did Qhianqhian achieve it?"
Although she had heard of controlling multiple things at once, she had never seen or heard anything like this before.
The key was that upon checking later, the water in the surrounding buckets hadn’t decreased by even a trace.
Even more crucial was that the ’ice’ showed no signs of melting whatsoever.
Apart from contacting his second brother on the day of the incident, he had been tirelessly pacing between Luo Qianqian’s room and the bathroom these past days, without sleep or rest.
Xu Tianyi had also already recovered. Watching Luo Qianqian’s gradual recovery, he breathed a sigh of relief, but under the double watch of Qin Nuan and Luo Xiying, he still didn’t dare get too close.
"Damn it, I need to go torment that old geezer a bit more!" Bai Yixian, seeing that there was still no reaction from Luo Qianqian, clenched his fist and turned to leave.
"Enough, don’t cause more trouble." Luo Xiying sighed, "The important thing now is that Qhianqhian is recovering, and that’s enough."
At this moment, Luo Qianqian was truly being tormented...
"Luo Qianqian, are you stupid?" The old man floated in the air, looking angrily at Luo Qianqian’s cultivation.
Luo Qianqian opened her eyes, puzzled. Her condition had almost fully recovered, but for some reason, she couldn’t wake up.
The old man referred to it as an opportunity for upgrading.
In her cultivation over the past few days, Luo Qianqian discovered that she had encountered a barrier that she couldn’t break through, not even with the complete operation of the First Zhou Tian within her body.
The old man said it was because her own abilities weren’t enough yet, but all other conditions were met, thus resulting in such an effect.
So these past few days, she had been focusing on studying the second layer.
And the second layer of this cultivation technique was to transform the misty gas into a gas mass.
How was this simple? Compress, compress, and if you compress too much, it rebounds.
Luo Qianqian’s body continuously absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, but those of lower levels hadn’t noticed, merely thinking she was over-exerted.
Her entire Sea of Knowledge was now a white mist.
"Old man, can we talk? I always feel like something’s happening. I can’t go out, can you check for me? Otherwise, I’ll always worry." Luo Qianqian smiled, looking at the old man. She had felt very odd these past few days.
"I can’t go out." The old man rolled his eyes, "You think I’m the one trapping you? If I had that ability, wouldn’t I keep you locked up every day?"
Just then, that cold aura appeared again.
Every time Luo Qianqian paused in these days, something deep inside the Sea of Knowledge would react, the only benefit being that Luo Qianqian felt more solid.
Submitting to destiny, she compressed the gas in her meridians, making it slender. After operating for one Zhou Tian, it became thicker.
After the second Zhou Tian, it became thicker and even more solid.
...
After eight Zhou Tians, Luo Qianqian saw the gas was entirely different from what it had been; it was obviously denser.
With the ninth Zhou Tian, Luo Qianqian seamlessly rushed to the barrier.
This time, the barrier cracked with a small fissure, then slowly expanded...
’Crack’ With beads of sweat on Luo Qianqian’s face, the second layer barrier shattered.
Luo Qianqian was stunned for a moment but did not relax. True promotion required the complete operation of one Zhou Tian.
The route for the second layer was three times more complex than the first layer...
Qin Nuan watched inexplicably as Luo Qianqian’s face showed a pained expression, her forehead covered in sweat. In shock, Qin Nuan quickly wiped the sweat off her and glanced at Luo Xiying, sitting outside watching the same video over and over, sighing.
It was hard to say how much time had passed when Qin Nuan was suddenly knocked to the ground by a force.
Luo Xiying, feeling the disturbance from outside, hurried inside, seeing Qin Nuan sitting on the floor, confused: "What happened?"
"Qhianqhian... seems to have exploded?" Qin Nuan looked puzzled. She had been suddenly pushed down and barely had time to react, and the pain from hitting the ground told her it wasn’t a dream... she was utterly bewildered.
Luo Qianqian finally opened her fatigued eyes, thinking that if sleeping was always this tiring, she didn’t want to sleep anymore.
She faced a pair of concerned eyes.
"Smile..." The hoarse voice made Luo Xiying frown, and hearing it, Qin Nuan hurried to pour a glass of water, pushing Luo Xiying aside to cautiously feed Luo Qianqian, disregarding her own aching behind.
After drinking, Luo Qianqian looked confused: "Did something happen?"
Why was there such worry in Xiaoshu’s eyes just now?
"You just exploded..." Qin Nuan said seriously.
Luo Qianqian suddenly remembered the event where she had bounced around excitedly after completing the First Zhou Tian and was then ejected by that successfully compressed gas mass, her face showing some embarrassment.
She didn’t know how others’ Seas of Knowledge were, but hers was like a mischievous child with a temper.
She checked her body carefully, examining her bones and flesh: "Don’t scare me..." said with a bit of reproach on her face.
Then remembered what happened before she lost consciousness: "Oh right, where’s Xu Tianyi..."
"He’s fine; don’t worry." Luo Xiying rolled her eyes; he’d been tirelessly watching over this carefree child, and now she asks about someone else?
"...uh, sorry for making you worry, Nuannuan, Uncle." Seeing Luo Xiying’s displeased expression, Luo Qianqian quickly said, full of guilt.
"It’s a miracle you didn’t die here this time!" Luo Xiying looked at Luo Qianqian with annoyance: "If you worry me again, I’ll make it so you’ll never see delicious food! You’ll eat bitter melon, fishy Houttuynia, celery mixed with cilantro every day!"
Luo Qianqian sheepishly scratched her head.
At this moment, several people rushed over; the disturbance from earlier had been felt not just by the two inside but by everyone else as well.
"Awake?" Diwu Yan, upon entering, saw Luo Qianqian leaning tiredly against Qin Nuan.
Luo Qianqian smiled at him: "Sorry for troubling you."
Diwu Yan shook his head: "Good thing you’re awake, or I’d truly worry this place would be torn apart by people worrying for you..."
Shooting a glance at Bai Yixian and Xu Tianyi at the side.
These two had been worried about Luo Qianqian these days but couldn’t help, so they had only been bugging the already barely hanging on Gongyang Chou.
