AMSSO-Chapter 45: Leveled Up Again

Mu Shiyue had a comfortable sleep. After waking, she instinctively circulated her spiritual power, then froze on the spot.

“What the hell?!”

Her cultivation had risen again!

This time it had risen even more than the last.

She was dumbfounded.

Had she done something?

She had only slept!

Mu Shiyue thought she might be hallucinating. This wasn’t scientific!

She hadn’t cultivated at all!

Without cultivating, how could her cultivation increase?

Since when could she raise her cultivation just by sleeping?!

In her previous life, Mu Shiyue’s cultivation speed had been extremely fast.

Even though she had the hardest-to-cultivate Five Elements Spiritual Root, as long as she cultivated normally, her cultivation could grow quickly, faster than even single-root cultivators.

But if she stopped cultivating, her cultivation also stopped.

Yet now, she had only slept, and her cultivation rose?!

What kind of joke was this?!

Mu Shiyue felt a bit panicked. At this speed, would she soon be struck by lightning again?!

She panicked for a while, then slapped the bedboard and cursed harshly.

“Whatever! Screw it!”

She couldn’t stop sleeping just because sleeping raised her cultivation!

Although she could go without sleep, sleeping felt very good!

Also, sleeping could use up a lot of time.

If she didn’t sleep or cultivate, how was she supposed to spend so many hours every day?

And what if she did nothing, but her cultivation kept rising anyway?

If someone else’s cultivation could grow like this, they’d be overjoyed.

But Mu Shiyue was only filled with speechless frustration.

This was the direction of being struck by lightning again!

But, since she had already been struck once, it didn’t seem to matter if it happened again.

—Anyway, whether it mattered to her or not, she couldn’t stop things from happening.

Mu Shiyue angrily jumped up, stomped the ground hard twice, then raised her middle finger at the sky.

“F***!”

After cursing, she took a deep breath and pressed down her emotions.

Don’t get angry, don’t get angry. Anger makes you sick and no one will take your place!

Let Heaven do whatever it wants!

After giving herself some mental comfort, Mu Shiyue tidied herself and came out of her room.

“Roar~”

The Soul-Devouring Tiger saw her come out and greeted her first.

“Good morning, Hu Niu!” Mu Shiyue waved to the Soul-Devouring Tiger.

Another energetic day!

The Soul-Devouring Tiger patted its food bowl in front of it, urging her to quickly cook.

If it weren’t afraid of disturbing Mu Shiyue’s rest, it would’ve called long ago.

Now that Mu Shiyue was awake, it wanted food quickly!

Of course, it urged, but Mu Shiyue only followed her own schedule.

She went first to check on her disciples.

Then, she saw a scene that left her speechless.

—Meng Fanzé was hugging Little Sesame, kissing, cuddling, and rubbing it from head to toe, then taking a deep sniff, showing an intoxicated smile.

This appearance was just like being drunk or high on something.

“Ying!” Little Sesame whined, not struggling, hugging a stalk of Purple Gold Bamboo and gnawing on it, lying flat to be rubbed, only sounding a little hopeless.

And after Meng Fanzé finished sniffing the bear, he passed Little Sesame to the exhausted Jiang Yunnuan.

Jiang Yunnuan took Little Sesame and started the same routine.

She clearly had a fairy’s appearance, but the smile on her face looked lewd, not cherishing her own beauty at all.

Jiang Yunnuan held Little Sesame while starting to recover her spiritual power.

It wasn’t clear whether her cultivation had risen and recovery speed had improved, or if sniffing the bear gave her an adrenaline rush, but she quickly recovered.

Then she handed Little Sesame to Chu Jingzhuo.

Little Sesame was like a torch, passed from one to another.

It’s also a charger, whoever held it was quickly full again!

Looking at the Purple Gold Bamboo in front, it had already grown to about two meters tall, lush and flourishing.

This small patch of purple bamboo forest was enough for Little Sesame to eat for a while.

Mu Shiyue: “……”

Her lips twitched. For a moment she didn’t know what to say.

She had thought that with their strength, if the bamboo grew to one meter overnight, that would already be amazing.

She hadn’t expected that they would act like they were injected with chicken blood!

The growth of the Purple Gold Bamboo had doubled!

“Master?”

Chu Jingzhuo, intoxicated with sniffing the bear, spotted Mu Shiyue’s figure. He hurriedly stood up, his smile awkward and uneasy.

He didn’t know how long Master had been standing there, had she seen all their actions?

That would be too embarrassing!

The others also quickly greeted, “Good morning, Master!”

“Ying! Ying!”

Little Sesame, as if seeing its savior, didn’t even want the Purple Gold Bamboo in its paws anymore and stretched its little claws frantically toward Mu Shiyue.

—Save me, save me!

Mu Shiyue shook her head with a laugh, walked forward, and took Little Sesame back.

Once in Mu Shiyue’s arms, Little Sesame kept whining as if complaining.

It’s been too hard!

It just wanted to watch the Purple Gold Bamboo grow, why did it have to be forcibly hugged for so long?!

But, for the sake of the Purple Gold Bamboo, it had endured!

Listening to the little dumpling’s complaints, Mu Shiyue was also amused and helpless.

She patted the little dumpling, “Is the bamboo tasty?”

“Mm!” Little Sesame immediately nodded.

If the Purple Gold Bamboo wasn’t delicious, it would’ve run away long ago.

Hearing Master’s conversation with Little Sesame, the disciples all felt a bit embarrassed.

Xin Jinrui, as the eldest, stepped forward to explain, “We just wanted to hold it, it’s too cute!”

Mu Shiyue naturally wasn’t angry, “Little Sesame is indeed very cute.”

This was a national treasure panda!

Though not a national treasure in this world, in Mu Shiyue’s heart, Little Sesame’s position was irreplaceable!

Who wouldn’t want to hug a panda?

Especially since Little Sesame was like a plush toy, incredibly adorable, making people completely unwilling to let go.

“We also discovered that if we hold it, our spiritual power recovers much faster!” Qin Yiwei also stepped forward to explain.

“Oh? There’s such a thing?”

Mu Shiyue was also surprised.

She really didn’t know this.

In her past life, she had learned many skills to stall for time. But she didn’t know everything.

At least she had never held an Iron-Eating Beast cub to cultivate.

So she really didn’t know this method.

“Yes, all of us are the same!” The others nodded repeatedly.

“When cultivating while holding Little Sesame, it feels like there’s more spiritual energy around than before, and our absorption speed is faster!” Chu Jingzhuo said seriously. “So, after exhausting our spiritual power, we hold Little Sesame to cultivate.”

Of course, they could also sniff the bear.

Two birds with one stone!

Then they happily told Mu Shiyue, “Master, our cultivation has all risen by some degree!”

Earlier they had completely exhausted their spiritual power, then recovered while holding Little Sesame.

Exhaust—recover—exhaust—recover.

Repeating several times like this, they discovered their meridians were wider than before, and their cultivation had increased quite a bit.

And they hadn’t even used up many spirit stones!

This was good news!

—The disciples had also leveled up?

A thought flashed in Mu Shiyue’s mind, but before she could grasp it, it was interrupted by the Soul-Devouring Tiger’s roar.

“Roar~!”

Hurry with the food, I’m hungry!
