She returned to the yard and found that the food delivered yesterday was still there, but it seemed that Du Guanyun had not come. She grabbed a fellow disciple and asked him, only to find out that Du Guanyun hadn't shown up yesterday and didn't know what had happened. He also told her not to wander around these days. It wasn't just her, almost all the disciples in the mountain's Qi-refining stage were under house arrest.

  Mo Zi Chen simply closed his doors and focused on self-cultivation.

  She first closed the doors and windows, then went to check her jade pendant space.

  That mysterious pool was now bubbling with bubbles, with a purple aura surrounding it, and an overwhelming spiritual energy rushed towards her. Mo Zi Chen carefully looked around again to make sure no one was there, and confirmed that she wouldn't be spied on by someone using secret methods, then activated her divine thoughts. Immediately, pieces of spirit stones appeared in her hands.

  These spirit stones looked crystal clear and of excellent quality, with a total of ten pieces. Mo Zi Chen turned them over repeatedly in his hand for half a day, a joyful expression appearing on his face.

  This was originally the waste jade she used for cultivation recently, seven days ago, she soaked it in the water pool, today when she looked again, it had transformed into the same low-grade spirit stone once more, its quality even better than before.

  After these experiments, she probably also understood that this water pool can indeed turn waste jade back into a gemstone, but it also has a time limit and cannot be restored immediately after being thrown in. Restoring lower-grade spirit stones takes about seven days, while mid-grade spirit stones take at least a month. Last time, her jade seal only took three days, and the restored spiritual energy was very weak. But when used on Ren Gengxin's body a month later, it had already become a mid-grade spirit stone like before.

  However, this water pool can only restore the spiritual stone to its previous state, no matter how long it is placed, it cannot upgrade a low-grade spiritual stone to a medium grade. But then she smiled, feeling that she was being a bit too greedy.

  She carefully put the Ling Stone back into the Jade Pendant space and stored it properly. Although she still didn't know how this space came about, whether it was the Jade Pendant's mystery or related to her experience in the mountain cave that time. She was extremely cautious and didn't dare to expose this earth-shattering secret in front of anyone.

  At this time, Mo Zi Chen was still somewhat bewildered. She had no idea that if this secret were to be exposed, it would bring about a tremendous shock to the world. In fact, the profundity of the jade pendant's space went far beyond that.

  However, at this time, she would also feel overjoyed for a few pieces of spiritual stones. She picked up all the waste jade that had been washed and refined, put them in a grid in her space, then took out the nourishing Qi pills and began to cultivate on her own according to the method taught by Ju Er.

  Day after day of cultivation, although a bit dull, Mo Zi Chen felt happy in it. She originally had a spiritual root and was able to sit still. These days, Ying Zhou had enough wandering around, and the disciples of Lian Qi were all prohibited from going out, so she simply devoted herself to cultivation. In this yard, she stayed for two whole months.

  Although she was still in the third layer of Qi Refining, she felt that her mental state was slowly improving, and the yuanqi inside her body was becoming more abundant. She could even go three days without eating, and not feel hungry or tired. Counting on her fingers, she had been in the mountains for a whole half year now.

  That day, she once again prepared to enter a state of meditation and took out the jade bottle to look at it. She discovered that there was only one elixir left inside, and suddenly realized that she had already been cultivating for such a long time.

  I don't know if Ji Er's elixir has been successfully refined or not, he should still be in seclusion, otherwise he would have come to see me.

  She swallowed the last elixir, ready to end this cultivation session and go out for a look. Immediately, she closed the door, took out the spiritual stone, set up the formation, and then sat down with her eyes closed.

  She entered meditation at noon and midnight, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, cleansing her body's meridians. Usually, she would stop after a short while, but this time, Mo Zi Chen felt an extremely mysterious realm as soon as she began meditating. It was beyond words, with visions constantly emerging, incredibly beautiful. She lingered in this state for a long time, unwilling to wake up. This meditation lasted for seven whole days.

  Even the disciples who came to deliver food outside the door were worried, and they specially went to report to Lin Shuirui. She came out to take a look, smiled on her face, waved her hand, and several streams of spiritual light flew out, setting up a boundary to prevent others from disturbing.

  Duguang Yun, who had come along with them, said in surprise: "Sister's meaning is that she has passed the Spiritual Tribulation? She entered the Cultivation Realm, and even if we count generously, it hasn't been a year yet. How can she enter the Illusory Realm so quickly?"

  Lin Shiyu said, "This spiritual tribulation is a pass that must be crossed by cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, but when to cross this tribulation, there is no fixed number. Some people may be in the second or third layer of Qi Refining, while others may have to wait until they reach the completion of Qi Refining. Now she is in the third layer of Qi Refining and has crossed this tribulation, which means her mental state has reached this level."

  Du Guanyun blinked: "I was only in the seventh layer of Qi refining when I started this tribulation, and her spiritual root is not as good as mine, how can she be so much earlier than me?"

  Lin Shiyu knocked on her head: "You little girl, you're so clever and thoughtful, but your mind is too complicated. You see the truth as false, and the false as true. It's hard for you to enter the fantasy world, let alone break through it. If I hadn't protected you that time, who knows if you would have fallen into a trap and couldn't get out? On the other hand, this little girl has a pure heart and is determined in her actions. Not only will she enter the fantasy world earlier than you, but also break through it earlier. This time, I suppose you won't say that she's a spy again?"

  Du Guan Yun pouted: "Sister, I was overthinking that time. But the situation was like that at the time, don't blame me."

  "Alright, I suppose I've been too busy these past few days and haven't had a chance to talk to her. This person Qin Shidi brought in is indeed interesting. Once she's out of confinement, bring her to see me, we can prepare to pass on the second layer of Heart Method to her."

  Du Guanyun called out: "Master sister, isn't this a bit too rushed? After all, she's only been in the cultivation realm for less than a year. Even if she was introduced by Master Qin as his disciple, rushing through her cultivation isn't a good thing, is it?"

  Lin Shi Rui glared at her: "I passed on the heart method to her, it's to calm her mind and prepare for the next step of cultivation. If I'm not mistaken, she should be able to build her foundation within ten years. The disciples here, I'm afraid more than half of them can't compare to her."

  Du Guanyun muttered in a dissatisfied tone, "You say what you want and it's settled."

  "Right." She thought of something else, "You've been trying every means these days, but still can't find the way to open the Cave of Heaven? You should know that in a few more days, the Lotus Sect will be coming to our doorstep."
