13: Chapter 013: Adorable Emojis Charm the Empress's Group; Meridian Forging Perfection After Taking Pills

"Wow!!! So that's how it works! Thank you, Sister Shiwen! Sister is amazing! I'm going to try it right away!"

After listening to Li Siwen (Li Shiwen)'s description, Mo Rui jumped up and down with joy, cheering, and her spiritual projection instantly disappeared from the group, presumably eager to put it into practice.

"Pfft!" Tang Jingjing covered her mouth and smiled, "Sister Shiwen's method is quite novel and interesting. It seems she also has quite a bit of insight into mundane skills!"

"Ingenious!" Su Qingxue nodded slightly in approval, her cool tone seeming to carry a hint of an imperceptible smile.

Shang Ting affirmed it from the perspective of Puppet structure. She nodded, "Although it's a minor Dao, it subtly aligns with some principles of mechanics!"

[Ding! Gratitude from Mo Rui +45, Adoration +30]

[Ding! Interest from Tang Jingjing +20]

[Ding! Astonishment from Su Qingxue +15]

[Ding! Recognition from Shang Ting +10]

Another wave of emotion points entered the account, bringing him one step closer to the next ten consecutive draws.

Li Siwen was in a good mood, and thinking of the ten consecutive draws just now, his heart stirred.

"Oh right, I happen to have a little trinket that fits the occasion."

He then sent out the ["Empress Group Exclusive Emoticon Pack (Mo Rui Version)" Foodie Nature.jpg] that he had drawn from the System.

It was a lively Q-version Mo Rui figure, hugging a pile of spirit fruits and pastries taller than herself, her eyes squinted in a smile, sparkling drool hanging from the corner of her mouth, accompanied by two large characters: "Crying from Greed"!

The emoticon pack was vivid and dynamic, perfectly portraying Mo Rui's foodie nature.

The group instantly fell silent for a moment.

Then—

"Haha! Lifelike!" Tang Jingjing couldn't help but burst out laughing, "This is exactly like Rui Rui!"

“...” Su Qingxue was always silent, but her slightly raised lips indicated that she actually quite liked this emoticon pack.

Shang Ting observed it carefully for a while, then nodded, "It's completely different from the normal style; it seems to be a kind of approach as well..."

Who knows what she was thinking? Was she going to make Puppets in a Q-version style in the future?

"Wahhh! What is this? So cute!"

Mo Rui suddenly returned, and seeing the emoticon pack, her eyes immediately lit up.

Soon, she noticed the strange looks from others, and only after taking another look did she realize that the little person inside was actually her!

Mo Rui immediately covered her eyes, blushing, and said coquettishly, "Oh no! Sister Shiwen, I'm not like that, it's so embarrassing (/ω＼)!"

[Ding! Embarrassment from Mo Rui +30, Affection +40]

[Ding! Joy from Tang Jingjing +35]

[Ding! Helplessness from Su Qingxue +15]

[Ding! Curiosity from Shang Ting +20]

"...But it's really cute!" Mo Rui 'thump-thump-thumped' over to Li Siwen's projection, hugging his arm and acting spoiled, "Sister Shiwen, how do you make this? Quickly teach me, quickly teach me!"

She tried hard to construct patterns with her spiritual consciousness, wanting to draw the sisters in the group in the same Q-version style, but she couldn't grasp the knack. Moreover, she wasn't good at drawing to begin with, and the final drawings were more abstract than those of kindergarten children, amusing everyone around her.

She tried hard to construct patterns with her spiritual consciousness, wanting to draw the sisters in the group in the same Q-version style, but she couldn't grasp the knack.

Li Siwen also had an amused expression, patting her head and saying, "You save this one first. I'll teach you when I have time later; right now, I still need to enter seclusion to Cultivate!"

"Eh? Has Sister Shiwen already successfully reached the Body Tempering Extreme Realm?" Tang Jingjing seemed to just notice this, sounding a bit surprised.

Su Qingxue added, "And she's already in the Early Stage of Pulse Forging!"

She seemed to have noticed it earlier but just hadn't said anything.

"Cultivating for less than a month... As expected of the Jiuji Great Emperor, who will have an exclusive title in the future!" Shang Ting said with some emotion.

"Sister Shiwen is so amazing!" Mo Rui fluttered her long eyelashes, looking like a fangirl, and said, "Then I'll learn from you next time, Sister Shiwen, don't forget!"

[Astonishment from Tang Jingjing +25]

[Affirmation from Su Qingxue +18]

[Admiration from Shang Ting +23]

[Adoration from Mo Rui +38]

Li Siwen smiled and responded a few times, then withdrew his consciousness from the chat group.

The interlude was over; it was time to get down to business!

His gaze returned to the pulse forging pills in his palm.

He planned to take the three ordinary pulse forging pills given by Yu Qing first, and after refining them, he would take the two premium pulse-forging pills he won from the System lottery.

Before that, however, Li Siwen checked the doors and windows again, making sure they were all closed and locked.

There were clear rules within the Sect prohibiting trespassing on others' residences, and disturbing others' Cultivation was a serious crime. The Law Enforcement Team also patrolled the roads 24 hours a day without interruption.

So, there wasn't much to worry about regarding safety.

"Then, let's begin!"

After making preparations, Li Siwen took a deep breath, adjusted his state to the best, and then took the three ordinary pulse forging pills at once.

The Medicinal Pills entered his abdomen, transforming into three warm torrents of medicinal power that surged into his Meridians.

With the talent bonus from his cross-dressing state and the solid Foundation of his Body Tempering Extreme Realm, the refining process was exceptionally smooth.

The medicinal power was efficiently converted into pure Internal Energy, continuously flowing into his Dantian and circulating through his Meridians, steadily broadening their width and toughness.

However, the medicinal power of ordinary pulse forging pills was ultimately limited. When the medicinal power of the three pills was completely absorbed and refined, his Cultivation had just advanced from the Early Stage of Pulse Forging to the Middle Stage, and his Internal Energy became even thicker and more condensed.

"The effect is decent, but it's still far from Perfection."

Li Siwen felt the changes within his body and, without hesitation, took out and consumed the first premium pulse-forging pill he had obtained from the ten consecutive draws.

Boom!

Completely different from ordinary Medicinal Pills, the medicinal power of the premium pulse-forging pill was like a bursting flood, even more majestic and purer!

Under the impact and nourishment of this powerful medicinal power, his Cultivation began to grow rapidly, and his Internal Energy surged visibly.

Just one premium pulse-forging pill almost filled more than half of the required reserves from the Middle Stage of Pulse Forging to the Late Stage, steadily pushing his Cultivation into the Late Stage of Pulse Forging!

"As expected of the premium Medicinal Pills from the System, the difference in effect is too great!"

Li Siwen secretly praised, striking while the iron was hot, and swallowed the last premium pulse-forging pill.

The final hurdle was overcome naturally.

The powerful medicinal power was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, easily breaking through the barrier between the Late Stage of Pulse Forging and Perfection.

Buzz—

A majestic Internal Energy, several times more powerful than before, was born from his Dantian, instantly circulating throughout his body, smooth and effortless, as if it were an extension of his limbs!

His Meridians were broadened to the limit of his current Realm, his Internal Energy was full to overflowing, and its circulation faintly carried the sound of wind and thunder.

Pulse Forging Perfection!

The entire process took only two days, incredibly smooth.

Feeling the surging and powerful Internal Energy within him, Li Siwen slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing through them.

"The Internal Energy after Pulse Forging Perfection is several times thicker than before, which can, in turn, nourish the Body Tempering Extreme Realm Foundation!"

"However, relying on my own Cultivation, the Vein Forging Extreme Realm might be difficult to achieve. The Jiuji Path is indeed not simple!"

"Fortunately, I can just take pills to upgrade, easy and pleasant!"

By now, the three ordinary pulse forging pills given by Yu Qing and the two premium pulse-forging pills from the System lottery were all consumed.

His Cultivation had also successfully reached the second minor Peak of the Houtian Realm — Pulse Forging Perfection.

Of course, this was only possible for him.

With the cross-dressing Buff, coupled with the Body Tempering Extreme Realm and the previous marrow cleansing pill, he was able to refine the medicinal power so quickly and effectively.

For anyone else, just enduring the medicinal power's impact might be unbearable.

The time spent would also be much longer than Li Siwen's, and a lot of medicinal power would be lost in the process...

All in all, Li Siwen felt he was incredibly handsome!—

He was only one step away from the Aperture Opening Stage and would soon enter the Outer Sect. It wouldn't be too much to be a little proud, right?
