7 Closed door cultivation

Afternoon came quickly and the cultivation resources had reached her hand already. There were some high grade earthly jades too.

'Daddy must want to deceive himself as well'.

She went to her backyard, her cultivation room was there. It was near her main chamber in the past but when she chose to give up on cultivation it was demolished as she felt frustrated. Her eldest brother was against it and she made a tantrum; they reached a consensus and was rebuilt in her backyard.

"Bing Nan, Bing Er will be in charge of my courtyard. You go to daddy's yard and look for Hong Shi; he will help you with your training".

"Eh! Yes. I thank Master's grace".

"Sigh, you just don't change". She shook her head and entered her cultivation room, "Take care and don't work too hard".

"Yes". Bing Nan answered aloud and left after she heard the clicking sound of the door closing.

An Bing Qing didn't lose time, as soon as she closed the door, she entered the black sphere with a thought. Just as she opened the book, she was immersed with it.

Time fly and she closed the book. She instinctively reached for the following book. She was so engrossed that she didn't get surprised when she was able to pull it out. Ten pages or so before finishing it, she jumped from the floor and looked toward the first shelf and the books out.

"Two books?!" She excitedly drooped to her knees and reached for the next one, but was heavy like a mountain. After trying for a long time, she gave up; she began to read where she had left on the cold ground…

She read the last word and she raised her head. She blinked and her long eyelashes fluttered as she looked to the next book. Her eyes were like those of a starving wolf, hungry to devour what it was in front of it. She crawled to the bookcase but didn't reach for the book. Her gaze was deep and thoughtful; she quickly lost her patience and took it decisively. Her pull was with both hands; it was strong and she fall back with the book.

"Ouch!" Tears flowed out because of pain but the wide grin imprinted in her rosy lips betrayed such an emotion, turning them in joyous tears. The next book was in her hands! Furthermore, she now had the gist of this place. The books followed a sequence and you can't read the next until you had finished the previous one. This mean she will be able to read all the books of this place! She flipped her body over to lie down on her tummy and began to increase her knowledge.

Three months later, she had swallowed each word wrote on every page in the books from this room. The place was a complete mess with books everywhere and some pieces of earthly jade here and there, she didn't care and fall asleep on a pile of books. The lady looks she had before were replaced by a haggard one but her pretty face had a gleeful smile as she hugged one of the books in her sleep.

The sun and moon changed places a couple of times and her eyes finally trembled in sign of waking up. She opened her eyes slowly; they were still drowsy and some saliva was in the corner of her mouth but she was enchanting like a bud in bloom.

She closed her eyes again as she wiped her mouth with her sleeve; it was gooey.

"Gurgle, gurgle..." Shortly after, hunger came. She frowned and reached for the green qiankun bag tied up to her white sash. Inside, there was a purple one; it was the best one. There were only a couple of low grade earthly jades, her frown worsened; she took them out and drained their energy till the nail-sized jades became dust. She had filled her belly with energy and not food all this time; thanks to this and the fact that she had been mental and physically exhausted, her cultivation grew steadily with no bottlenecks without training seriously. The fact that she changed immortal cultivation techniques was the most helpful, of course.

Her grumbling stomach didn't stop; she didn't endure it anymore and opened her heavy eyes with reluctance. "Huh? Was I sent out from the sphere's space?" She sat on the floor and sighed in relief after few seconds, "I still can feel it. Was it because I read all the books?" She was puzzled but she had no time to ponder as she has to digest the last dozen of books' information to not forget it later; as she usually does.

Many hours later she got up and strode towards the cultivation room's door.
