Transmigrating as a Crazy Villainess, She Becomes Invincible by Slacking Off - Chapter 63

The Spirit Gathering Formation was one of the simplest and most fundamental formations, not particularly complex. However, for someone completely new to formations, it still presented a significant challenge.

If anyone could master formations just by reading books, Formation Masters would be worthless.

Undeterred by her chances of success, Ruan Dongling immediately took out several dozen high-grade spirit stones and began setting up the formation.

Her first attempt failed due to a minor mistake, instantly destroying the spirit stones and releasing all their spiritual energy.

Ruan Dongling felt a pang of regret, realizing that formation work was indeed a costly endeavor.

For her second attempt, she proceeded with utmost caution and finally succeeded.

When spiritual energy surged visibly toward the tree hollow where Ruan Dongling was situated, she felt deeply satisfied.

Ao Cang, who had been hiding in her arms, now poked his head out.

Floating in the air, he began absorbing the incoming spiritual energy. A faint, soft glow shimmered across his snow-white dragon scales.

Ruan Dongling retrieved the meditation cushion, sat cross-legged on it, and tentatively activated her Dao Foundation.

In an instant, spiritual energy coursed through her body, then converged around her Dantian, creating a Spiritual Qi Vortex within the small tree hollow.

The surrounding spiritual energy was drawn into the vortex, surging toward Ruan Dongling’s Dantian.

The extraordinary nature of her Purple Dao Foundation became evident at that moment.

The higher the Dao Foundation’s grade, the more efficiently it could absorb and transform spiritual energy.

A typical Dao Foundation, faced with such an abundance of spiritual energy, could only convert and absorb a tiny fraction, the rest dissipating on its own.

But Ruan Dongling’s Purple Dao Foundation was like a bottomless abyss, devouring every trace of the surging spiritual energy, leaving none to escape her body!

Within mere breaths, the massive influx of spiritual energy had already circulated through her meridians for several minor cycles.

In that brief time, the meridians throughout Ruan Dongling’s body had expanded slightly.

If any cultivation masters witnessed her cultivation speed, they would likely ascend to immortality on the spot in sheer astonishment.

Ruan Dongling rarely cultivated on her own for a full hour.

She was only doing it to make the System calculate her current cultivation speed and return her cultivation accordingly.

Ruan Dongling was quite satisfied with her current cultivation speed.

She took out an Aura Concealing Pill and a Sleep Aid Pill, swallowing both.

The Sleep Aid Pill was specifically for inducing sleep, allowing even the most insomniac individuals to sleep soundly through the night.

Cultivators generally had no use for such things, but Duan Tianhe had a supply of them, and Ruan Dongling had asked for a few.

Though she naturally had a carefree nature and slept like a log, she had brought these pills along to the Secret Realm, fearing she might have trouble sleeping there.

“Little Fox, I’m going to sleep now. Keep watch for me. If anyone approaches, wake me up,” Ruan Dongling instructed, stroking the Silver Treasure Fox’s fur.

The Silver Treasure Fox might lack other talents, but its skills in concealment and illusion were unparalleled.

A spirit beast as coveted by cultivators as this one would have been extinct long ago without such self-preservation abilities.

Upon hearing Ruan Dongling’s words, the Little Fox let out a soft acknowledgment and scurried outside the tree hollow to stand guard.

Spirit Beasts also needed to cultivate. The tree hollow where Ruan Dongling was resting was surrounded by an exceptionally dense concentration of spiritual energy. Even sleeping near it would provide immense benefits, as the spiritual energy would naturally seep into their bodies.

After swallowing the Sleep Aid Pill, Ruan Dongling closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep within a few breaths.

As she slept, the flow of spiritual energy intensified dramatically.

Throughout the Secret Realm, cultivators felt an unsettling sensation. The spiritual energy seemed to be converging toward a single point.

Experienced cultivators who witnessed this phenomenon were struck with dread.

“Some immensely powerful being must be cultivating within the Secret Realm!”

“I must stay far away from that direction! If such a being were to notice me, it could obliterate me with a mere gesture!”

“Terrifying! What kind of entity could possess such terrifying power?”

Most cultivators feared the unknown entity capable of creating such a commotion, but a handful of fearless individuals dared to investigate.

However, the closer they approached the center of the Spiritual Qi Vortex, the greater their terror grew.

As they neared the core, the flow of spiritual energy intensified, and the terrifying aura became overwhelming.

These cultivators had entered the Secret Realm seeking opportunities, not death.

Even the few persistent ones who ventured close could only witness the massive tree absorbing all the spiritual energy, revealing nothing else.

No cultivator dared to truly approach the colossal tree.

Thus, Ruan Dongling remained undisturbed in her tree hollow hideout.

Perched atop her head, the butterfly rapidly fluttered its wings as she slept soundly.

Waves of purple light emanated from the butterfly’s body, bathing the entire hollow in a shimmering violet glow.

The Silver Treasure Fox, which had been guarding the entrance, turned its head sharply toward the interior, momentarily frozen in fear.

It cowered, trembling visibly, then flattened itself against the ground and slowly backed away, retreating from the entrance.

Nourished by the abundant spiritual energy, the Golden Pavilion Purple Heart Butterfly’s wings pulsed with flowing purple light. Within those jade-like wings, a violet mist seemed to swirl, and the golden patterns glowed with increasing brilliance.

The butterfly’s colors grew even more vibrant and captivating.

Within the tree hollow, the eerie purple-robed man reappeared.

After a moment, the Golden Pavilion Purple Heart Butterfly finally calmed down.

It became motionless once more, transforming back into a hair ornament.

The effects of the Sleep Aid Pill lasted for twelve hours, after which the user would awaken naturally.

When Ruan Dongling opened her eyes, she felt refreshed and invigorated, every inch of her body from scalp to toes tingling with comfort.

At that moment, she eagerly anticipated the growth of her cultivation.

Sleeping for one hour in the Secret Realm granted twenty days of cultivation. With the Azure Immortal Wood Meditation Cushion’s enhancement, those twenty days would become two hundred!

Adding the Spirit Gathering Formation’s boost, she could gain at least two hundred and fifty days!

And she had slept for a full twelve hours!

Ding! Host has successfully slacked off. Reward: eight years of cultivation!

Eight years! Nearly two thousand nine hundred days!

Before Ruan Dongling could even celebrate, she felt a surge of spiritual energy within her body. The vast energy surged like a colossal tidal wave, instantly shattering her mid-Foundation Establishment bottleneck!

Her momentum continued to climb, effortlessly breaking through the late-Foundation Establishment barrier, followed by Foundation Establishment Perfection!

Each bottleneck along the way shattered like paper under the immense flow of spiritual energy!

At this rate, Ruan Dongling was on the verge of breaking through to the Golden Core stage!
