The Six Meridians Divine Sword had roughly two realms.
To master one meridian's sword technique was considered the beginner level.To master all six meridians' sword techniques was a higher level.And if one could seamlessly cycle through all six meridians' sword forms in succession — that was the stage of Great Perfection.
With his exceptional talent, Xiao Yan had nearly reached the point where he could rotate between four meridians' sword techniques.
Without Divided Mind Control, he was already close to being able to use four techniques simultaneously with one mind.
Now that he had a structured mental method and proper guidance, his progress was astonishingly fast — advancing thousands of miles in a day, as they say.
Compared to Ning Rongrong, who had trained for over six years and only reached the Second Aperture Level, Xiao Yan — after less than a single day of training — had already stepped into the Five Aperture Heart of Dispersion.
At this moment, he was already touching the threshold of the Six Aperture Heart of Intent.
Once he mastered that, he would be able to rotate all six sword techniques freely.Though each individual strike's power wouldn't necessarily increase, when the techniques were layered together, no ordinary person could possibly withstand them.
More importantly, his Silent Sword would finally reach a point where using it would no longer injure him.
While Xiao Yan cultivated seriously, Xiaoxue and the other girls weren't idle either.
The girls went to the largest bathhouse on the second floor, dressed in light clothing, and began soaking in the hot water.
The five of them were stunningly beautiful, their figures graceful and slender.Now, they looked almost like they were wearing swimsuits, lounging amidst the misty steam.Even without flower petals, the air glowed faintly pink, the scene resembling something out of an immortal's realm.
As the hot water submerged their delicate bodies, Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, and Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but let out soft sighs of relief.
It was their first time wearing weighted training clothes, and after such intense cultivation, their bodies were thoroughly exhausted.
The hot water enveloped them, melting away every trace of soreness from their frost-like, snow-pale skin.
Seeing Ning Rongrong's fair skin and the white bellyband she wore, Xiaoxue swiftly swam up behind her. Her arms — pale and smooth like carved jade — gently wrapped around Ning Rongrong's slender waist as she whispered teasingly in her ear:
"Rongrong, what's going on with your body? How did you grow so much taller in just one day?"
At that, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and Xiaoyi all turned to stare at Ning Rongrong.Comparing closely, they realized she really had grown noticeably taller overnight.
Meng Yiran thought to herself: Could it be that the meridian nourishing not only boosts cultivation, but also promotes growth?
Zhu Zhuqing silently wondered: Then why didn't I change at all?
As Xiaoxue's mischievous hands roamed playfully along her waist, Ning Rongrong squirmed, turned to glare at the giggling girl, and retaliated — wrapping her own arms around Xiaoxue's waist. Twirling a strand of Xiaoxue's black hair between her fingers, she teased back:
"Then tell me, when Xiao Yan helped you with your meridian tempering, did you not experience any… changes?"
Their jade pendants brushed together, causing ripples to spread across the calm surface of the bathwater.
"Nope," Xiaoxue blinked innocently, her apricot eyes gleaming. "After Brother Xiao Yan finished tempering my meridians, I didn't notice any change."
Her body was special — even her strength hadn't increased much.
It wasn't until she'd cultivated the Xuantian Technique for two years that she gained a powerful inner force of her own.
Ning Rongrong turned her head toward Zhu Zhuqing's snow-white soul device, her mouth falling slightly open in surprise.
What grade of soul tool was that?
It could even float on water!
With slight envy, Ning Rongrong pursed her lips. "Zhuqing, what about you? You've also been through Xiao Yan's meridian tempering. Did you notice any changes?"
"No." Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, her cheeks tinted pink. "I only gained three levels of soul power."
Leaving Xiaoxue's soft skin behind, Ning Rongrong drifted over to Zhu Zhuqing, who wore a black lace underdress, and nodded approvingly.
"Lucky for you! If you'd kept growing at that rate, you'd probably need to carry that thing around in a sling all day!"
"That's… an exaggeration." Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed deeper as she crossed her arms and turned away slightly.
Even as a fellow girl, Ning Rongrong couldn't help swallowing slightly as she glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's… "equipment."
She was purely shocked, of course — not thinking anything else.
Ning Rongrong leaned closer, blinking her jewel-like eyes curiously. "Zhuqing, my dear sister, how did your soul device develop to be this strong?"
Meng Yiran's ears perked up immediately, listening attentively.
After learning Zhu Zhuqing's age, she had been astonished.
Not even twelve years old, and she already possessed such a… powerful soul device!
When she was Zhu Zhuqing's age, she had barely been like Xiaoxue herself.
"I didn't do anything to it. It just grew on its own," Zhu Zhuqing answered shyly.
"Could it be hereditary, then?" Ning Rongrong said disappointedly. She had hoped to secretly learn her "technique."
Although she disliked talking about her family, Zhu Zhuqing still nodded honestly.
"All the women in my family… tend to be rather well-developed."
Hearing that, Ning Rongrong sighed dejectedly.
So there was no trick to it after all…
Well, maybe not entirely hopeless.
Her eyes suddenly lit up as she turned toward Meng Yiran, who was wearing a violet-red bathing dress.
Such a large… soul device. Even larger than Zhu Zhuqing's!
"Yiran-jiejie…" Ning Rongrong abandoned Zhu Zhuqing immediately and swam over to the short-haired silver beauty.
"Don't look at me like that," Meng Yiran said quickly, crossing her arms to guard her chest. "Mine grew naturally too!"
"Eh?" Ning Rongrong blinked, looking stunned.
Seeing her dumbfounded expression, Meng Yiran chuckled softly. "Rongrong, you're already quite good as you are. When I was your age, I wasn't even close to you."
"Then… will I also have such a large soul device in the future?" Ning Rongrong asked timidly, glancing at the twin jade-like mounds that seemed nearly the size of papayas.
Meng Yiran nodded lightly. "Most likely."
"But more than that," she added, "I'm curious — all of you have gone through Xiao Yan's meridian tempering, yet the results seem different for each of you. Why is that?"
Zhu Zhuqing agreed softly, "I've been wondering that too."
"Rongrong, did Xiao Yan tell you anything about it?"
"Hmm…" Ning Rongrong tapped a pale finger on her lips, thinking hard, then shook her head.
At the time, she had been in so much pain that she nearly fainted — and afterward, the pleasure and comfort were so overwhelming that she hadn't paid attention to anything Xiao Yan might've said during the process.
"Rongrong… was the meridian tempering really that painful?" Meng Yiran asked suddenly, recalling Xiao Yan's warning.
But the moment she said it, her flawless face turned bright red.
Watching Meng Yiran's flushed cheeks, Ning Rongrong fluttered her long lashes and felt a mischievous idea forming in her mind.
If it was that comfortable… why should she be the only one to enjoy it?
