Chapter 3179 — The Bashful Eldest Miss
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At such grand words in the cultivation method, Gu Mengyao frowned slightly, but she read on. The first tier of the Silkworm-That-Drives-the-Phoenix Manual was itself divided into three levels—early, middle, and late—though the boundaries between them were not clearly drawn, nor were there any rank barriers; only through ceaseless accumulation and diligent, bitter practice could one attain the great perfection of the first tier of the method!
Back in the mortal world, Gu Mengyao had yearned to become a cultivator, and now that the opportunity was before her, she did not rest, but threw herself into cultivation day and night!
In cultivation there are no years; in the blink of an eye, Gu Mengyao had passed more than half a month in the Dark Phoenix Mountains!
Perhaps because the heaven-and-earth spiritual energy of the Dark Phoenix Mountains was abundant and suited Gu Mengyao's constitution, and because she was the inheritor besides, her speed in cultivation could be called a thousand li a day. The Silkworm-That-Drives-the-Phoenix Manual was not so easy to cultivate, but the eldest miss's perseverance was astonishing—she cultivated every day without sleep, and there was in her something of the very perseverance with which Wei Zhao had first set foot upon the path of cultivation!
It was this astonishing speed and this diligent, painstaking attitude that made the Grand Elder value Gu Mengyao all the more!
She regarded Gu Mengyao as the hope of the sect's revival. In but a short span of time, Gu Mengyao had already risen from an ordinary person to the peak of the late Yellow Rank; and an inheritor who had successfully gained the inheritance through enlightenment had no rank barriers, so Gu Mengyao's cultivation was not only fast but unobstructed. So long as she broke through in the method, advancing all the way to become a Heaven Rank expert would be very easy!
Yet the Dark Phoenix cultivation method of the Palace of the Dark Night was not so easily mastered either. Though Gu Mengyao was already an expert at the peak of the late Yellow Rank, her method still remained at the first tier and had not broken through to the second!
As a result, Gu Mengyao's cultivation speed slowed as well. The first tier of the method absorbed and converted heaven-and-earth spiritual energy at a rate no longer quite sufficient to meet the quantity of true qi needed to break through from the peak of the late Yellow Rank to the early Mystic Rank, and so Gu Mengyao chose to rest for the time being.
Only after Gu Mengyao set foot upon the path of cultivation did she truly take control of the Palace of the Dark Night's forces. The Grand Elder no longer interfered in certain of Gu Mengyao's affairs, and Gu Mengyao was free to communicate with the outside world at will!
The first thing Gu Mengyao did after ending her cultivation was to want to call home. As for whom to call first, she dialed the villa's number without a second thought! In truth, Gu Mengyao had meant to call Gu Pengzhan and ask how her mother, Ye Rou'er, was doing after returning—but when she picked up the phone, she could not help dialing the villa's number!
Had it been before, the eldest miss would certainly have laid the blame on Xiaoshu; she would have thought that she must be missing Xiaoshu, and that was why she called the villa first. But now the eldest miss had settled her own heart, and she was quite certain that this call was meant for Wei Zhao! To be continued.)
