The candied fruit made from spiritual fruit by Qi Xianqing had a sweet-and-sour taste, perfectly masking the bitterness of the Dispersing Elixir.
Under Qi Xianqing's supervision, Yan Jue slowly finished drinking the medicine and then placed another piece of candied fruit in her mouth to chew.
Qi Xianqing quietly watched her, somewhat distracted.
"Senior Sister," Yan Jue suddenly remembered something and looked up at her, "Can you tell me what happened these past few days?"
Qi Xianqing paused for a moment, then looked at her meaningfully, "Do you really want to know?"
Yan Jue nodded.
Qi Xianqing had originally planned to speak frankly but then decided to spare Yan Jue some face.
She glanced at Yan Jue, her eyes curving slightly, "It was rather uneventful. I had nothing better to do, so I went for a walk with you and then came back to clean up the mess you made in the house."
Yan Jue: "..."
Out of the corner of her eye, Yan Jue suddenly spotted the rope and collar on the small table by the door.
She couldn't help but wonder if Qi Xianqing had used the collar while walking her around.
As soon as she thought of this, an inexplicable heat surged up inside her, making her face flush red.
Lost in her thoughts, Yan Jue put down the medicine bowl and suddenly felt a surge of spiritual energy inside her body.
Yan Jue froze for a moment, her pupils constricting slightly.
The scorching spiritual power was swirling wildly in her dantian, almost overflowing.
Yan Jue was all too familiar with this feeling.
This was a sign of a breakthrough.
The cultivation process of demons differed slightly from that of humans.
For humans, every breakthrough required sitting down and meditating, using all their strength to push through to the peak of their realm.
But for demons, their cultivation was generally more passive, requiring little active effort unless they were breaking through a major threshold.
For example, from the First Realm of Form Transformation to the Second Realm of Spirit Gathering, that was a significant threshold.
At that time, Yan Jue had been sitting cross-legged outside Zui Chun Lou, dispersing her internal spiritual power.
And from the Fifth Realm of Demon Core to the Sixth Realm of Soul Condensation, that was another major threshold!
Qi Xianqing had been closely watching Yan Jue's condition, thinking that she was unwell again, and she furrowed her brow slightly, asking, "What's wrong?"
Yan Jue: "I think I'm about to breakthrough."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xianqing understood immediately.
She knew that the process of breakthrough for demons was different from humans, and breaking through from the Demon Core Realm to the Soul Condensation Realm was indeed a significant threshold. Therefore, Yan Jue needed to sit in meditation to stabilize her energy.
Moreover, Yun Zhen's Nine Heavens Mystical Fire had also helped slightly accelerate Yan Jue's cultivation progress.
Yan Jue sat cross-legged on the bed, feeling a burning sensation she had never experienced before in her dantian.
