Chapter 466: Four hundred and sixty-five, Cultivation

Seeing Luo Shu cultivating, the people around her were somewhat surprised and also appreciative. She’s really diligent!

Luo Shu had run through her cultivation technique three or four times, and upon hearing Xiao Qing say the competition had ended, she opened her eyes.

An elder Nascent Soul from the Upper Pavilion stepped forward. He glanced over the talisman that had been crafted in front of everyone and already understood the situation in his heart.

He smiled and nodded at Luo Shu. In fact, he had been paying attention to Luo Shu for some time and found her talisman crafting skills to be very proficient, not even slightly inferior to his own. Later, seeing that she began cultivating right after finishing her talisman, he felt a trace of admiration for her.

Seeing the Nascent Soul elder smiling at her, Luo Shu also responded with a smile.

The Nascent Soul elder retracted his gaze and announced to everyone, "The results of the Talisman Crafting Competition are out now. Contestant seventeen, Mo Lixu, talisman level: middle-level Earth-Rank. Contestant six, Luo Shu, talisman level: high-level Earth-Rank. The first place goes to Luo Shu. Mo Lixu and Luo Shu will have the qualifications to represent our Upper Pavilion in the upcoming inter-nation competition."

Everyone’s gaze unanimously shifted towards Luo Shu, filled with shock, envy, and jealousy.

"I hadn’t expected her to be a Grandmaster level talisman crafting refiner."

"Indeed, looks can be deceiving!"

"That second-place winner, Mo Lixu, is a renowned Talisman Crafting Grandmaster in Tianchi Country, and to think he actually lost."

"Really? Then why did he come to the Upper Pavilion?"

"I know this, besides Mo Lixu, there are two other talisman crafting refiners who are as famous as him, one called Li Yuyang and the other Yang Zhen. This time, one went to the Sun Sword Sect and the other to the Qingfeng Academy. Mo Lixu probably didn’t want to encounter them for the time being, which is why he chose the Upper Pavilion. He just didn’t expect to meet an even more formidable opponent here. It’s good that they picked two this time; otherwise, Mo Lixu would have been really frustrated."

Luo Shu was listening to the discussions around her when she felt a gaze upon her. Turning her head, she saw that Mo Lixu was looking at her. She curved her lips into a slight smile at him.

Mo Lixu looked startled and turned his face away with a blush. He was wondering where she had popped up from when suddenly she turned her head, making him feel as if he’d been caught red-handed.

Seeing Mo Lixu’s reaction, Luo Shu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Hearing Luo Shu’s laughter, Mo Lixu’s face turned even redder. He turned his head and glared fiercely at Luo Shu. Thinking about how Li Yuyang had challenged him with his arrogant demeanor before, he suddenly found himself looking forward to the disappointment on Li Yuyang’s face when defeated by Luo Shu.

With the conclusion of the competition, the ten representatives from the Upper Pavilion who would participate in the inter-nation competition were determined. They would join ten disciples from the Upper Pavilion and travel together to the imperial city of Tianchi City in Tianchi Country in three days, where they would meet with various sects for a showdown. The final one hundred disciples who won the competition would qualify to go to Phoenix Feather Country to participate in the inter-nation tournament.

The ten were arranged to stay in the Disciple Court of the Upper Pavilion, living together with the disciples from the Upper Pavilion.

The two who were staying with Luo Shu were the winners of the competition. One of them was Ouyang Meng, a Pill Master with considerable talent in Alchemy. The other was Chu Rongying, who had emerged victorious from the Formation Competition.

After introducing themselves, the three of them stopped talking and began to cultivate on their own.

Since there were others around, Luo Shu immersed her consciousness into her space, starting to cultivate within the Spirit Gathering Array. Her strength had recovered very quickly over the past few days, having advanced from the Primary Stage of Foundation Establishment to the Early-Mid Stage just by cultivating for a while during the competition. Consequently, she planned to spend the next three days cultivating in her space.

When Luo Shu opened her eyes again, she saw Ouyang Meng and Chu Rongying staring at her as if they had seen a ghost.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Luo Shu touched her nose. She knew her rapid progress had probably scared them. After three days of cultivating, her cultivation had returned to the Primary Stage of Golden Core, and she believed it wouldn’t take long for her to fully recover.

"How exactly do you cultivate? What Cultivation Technique are you using?" Ouyang Meng stared at Luo Shu, almost wishing she could find Luo Shu’s technique and start cultivating it herself.

"You’re too monstrous! To actually jump from the Primary Stage of Foundation Establishment to the Primary Stage of Golden Core in just three days—is there anyone as terrifying as you?" Chu Rongying said, looking deeply shaken. It had taken her three whole years to progress from the Primary Stage to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, yet Luo Shu had surpassed her three years of effort in just three days—how was she supposed to live with that?

"I had suffered an injury before and lost my cultivation, so now I’m just restoring my previous level," Luo Shu explained with a smile.

"So that’s how it is!" Chu Rongying exhaled a big breath and patted her chest in relief. Fortunately, it wasn’t as she had imagined, or she really would have lost her confidence in cultivation.

"Then what was your original cultivation level?" Ouyang Meng’s eyes showed a trace of disappointment, having thought it was some extraordinary Cultivation Technique, and was let down.

"Nascent Soul Late Stage Peak," said Luo Shu. If it weren’t for her injury this time, she would have been close to breaking through by now.

Chu Rongying’s eyes were filled with shock as she curiously asked, "How old are you now?" With Luo Shu’s high level of cultivation, she must be over a thousand years old.

"Nineteen," replied Luo Shu. She had never paid attention to the age issue among cultivators in the True Cultivation World.

"Fuck!" Both Ouyang Meng and Chu Rongying cursed in unison. Nascent Soul Late Stage Peak at the age of nineteen—might as well kill them! They were already in their sixties, still struggling in the Foundation Establishment Stage! She truly was a freak!

When Ouyang Meng and Chu Rongying left the room, both looked deeply affected and their eyes were filled with intense jealousy as they looked at Luo Shu. Indeed, comparisons could be lethal!

The three of them joined the others participating in the Four Kingdoms Contest and gathered together at the Training Ground, preparing to head to Tianchi City to face off against other sects.

Once everyone had assembled, the Nascent Soul Elder who had come before approached them with a smile, "This time I’ll be leading you to..." He stopped mid-sentence, his face showing utter disbelief as he looked at Luo Shu. How had she become a Golden Core Cultivator?

Seeing the Nascent Soul Elder staring, shocked, in one direction and not speaking, everyone followed his gaze and saw Luo Shu. Noticing her cultivation level, shock appeared on their faces as well. If they weren’t mistaken, her cultivation was only at the Early-Mid Stage of Foundation Establishment before. The reason they remembered so clearly was that Luo Shu had the lowest cultivation level among them.
