The Female Cultivator In The World Of Men

"One more time."

Nagina spoke in a strict voice, unlike her usual self.

She sat comfortably on a bog white rock that was surrounded by pine trees from all side. The place they were at currently was a small isolated place in the vermillion Bird peak.

Nagina specifically searched the entire valley to find a suitable place for her host to cultivate and train without any disturbances form the other people in the sect.

If they were to see a talking snake and a maniac who could absorb qi infinitely, then there was no wonder that people were going to gossip and spread rumors.

Who knew what what exaggerations they were going to make in order to bring her down?

"What a handful." Nagina shook her head as she looked at the skinny figure that was trying to stay on her feet.

"Do not falter now. You have a long way to go." She sent a message telepathically.

"What?"

With a loud thump that sounded much more painful than it really did, Le Fang Ling fell down on the ground on her back.

"W-wai-t, let me take rest for a moment." A tired and exhausted voice called out to Nagina from the center of the ground.

Le Fang Ling lied down on the ground as she gasped for air. Her chest rose and fell down rhythmically as she tried to catch up her breathe.

"Control your breathing. It's deviating." Nagina had been monitoring the slight fluctuation on her physical features and body so that she could warn her the moment she messed up.

Physical training to enhance the physical stat and strength which included push-ups, squat and other exercises, she had been doing this for almost 2 days now but with no luck.

All she could feel was her physical body getting stronger and her muscles getting toned and tighter but as for her major problem, she was getting nowhere.

She was still stuck on the first layer of the body enhancement realm while her body continuously absorbed the spiritual energy like a hungry gluttonous pig.

Thankfully, it was minimal since she had not been near any place with abundant spiritual energy.

Weirdly, all of the spiritual energy she had absorbed could not be utilized by her but was being utilized by Nagina to increase her own cultivation.

Le Fang Ling had also a feeling that there was no way all of her qi was being used by only Nagina and she would have loved to ponder on it for a while but her current situation did not allow her to do so.

Le fang Ling thought of Nagina who was currently cultivating as she oversaw her training and her thought ran back to the time after they had come back from Elder Lin's place.

Nagina's reason to use her qi was simple.

 "Come on host, we cannot let all this energy go to waste now, can we?" She had smile slyly as she took all of her spiritual energy.

Well, not that she could blame her. It was the truth after all. She hoped Nagina will also progress with her cultivation as much as she did.

But the real problem was her cultivation.

"What is the point of all this if I am not going to get anything done?" She shook her head in dejection. Although she did say that she was going to create her own way of cultivating and all, it was still hard for her, a total newbies to start doing something on her own accord.

But what she was doing, she was not sure if she was doing it right.

"Hey, do I really have to do this?" She raised her head from the ground and looked at Nagina who was chilling in the chilly atmosphere.

"Yes." Nagina answered with a nonchalant expression. While she was watching over le Fang ling's training, she herself was trying to search up more information about her surroundings.

"You have no choice but to do this." She started right at the body lying down on the ground and sighed heavily.

"Right! I did say I would do something about this." Le fang Ling stood up from the ground and sat crossed leg on the grassy ground.

As for the training, after a brief physical exercise she tried to meditate and circulate the qi to cleanse her marrows and meridians so as to make her body ready to enter the path of immortality. It was the combination of mind, body and spirit training that Le fang Ling had picked up from the books she had learnt here.

Since she had five elemental spiritual roots, she had to blame each of them as she cultivated so her cultivation itself was going to take longer than for average people.

"But, let's do what I can do now."

With this mindset, Le Fang Ling cut off all of her outer thoughts and started to understand and control the qi that was flowing through her body.

There must be a reason why a body has yin-yang constitution. It was not simply because she was a man in a woman's body, right? Or so was her final thought before she lost sense of the world around her.

Le Fang ling felt the familiar sense of levitation she felt whenever she cultivated. She remembered this feeling as the feeling of entering the inner state of mediation.

Due to the immense physical enhancement training for the past couple of days, her body had developed significantly than before.

After what felt like an eternity, she found herself in a dark and strange place. It was not her physical body that had reached this place but her whole spiritual sense has transported to this dimension.

'This place is different from before.' She felt there was something weird about the state she had entered this time.

'This place…is it?' She opened her eyes and tried to adjust herself in this darkness.

Just as she was about to speak something, she saw a purplish flame lit up somewhere far away from the place she was at.

As if in a trance, she started to walk towards the place that seemed to distance herself father and farther away from her the more she walked towards it.

But there was still a weird and silent call that was attracting her towards it. Yet, she continued walking towards it without even taking a break. She knew she had to follow it and then she might get to the answer she had been looking for.

'If walking is not going to work, I have to sprint.'

She rushed towards the flame which was now getting dimmer and dimmer.

Just when she was about to reach the flame, as if playing the game of hide and seek with her, the flame extinguished all of sudden.

"..."

"Come out who ever you are." She looked around in the darkness and called out. She could see no one but her gut was telling her that there was something or more like someone here.

From how this place was filled with her own spiritual essence, there was one thing she understood. The place she was currently at was a dimension with in her own sea of consciousness. She had not been here ever since the time she got transmigrated to this place.

But it was invaded by someone who seemed to be having fun playing with her.

"Are you not going to come out?" Le Fang Ling toned down her voice and spoke in a polite gesture. She had neither the strength nor the luxury required to go head to head with someone stronger than her.

"Oho..' A sharp and high pitched voice filled with dried coldness echoed inside the entire the space. The simple word that was spoken was more than enough to make the whole dimension slightly tremble.

Le fang Ling gulped down the nervousness and anxiety that was stuck on her throat and turned towards the source of the sound.

"Don't turn around." The lady spoke in a strict voice as if she was disciplining a naughty student.

"Aight! Whatever you say." Le fang Ling raised her hand up in a gesture of surrender.

"Good girl." Lilith chuckled lightly seeing the obedience of the girl. It had been long but she had finally seen the girl.

It had not been long since she saw Elder Lin so she was not feeling lonely anymore. Getting an unexpected visitor out of nowhere was just too sudden for her. She had never expected the girl to be able to return back here this soon.

'What a pleasant surprise.' She thought to herself as she looked at the figure in front of her, trying to take in as much as she could.

"You are Le fang Ling right?" She asked in a cold and dry voice, her face apathetic and emotionless.

"Yes mam or whoever you are." Le Fang Ling replied back as soon as possible.

"Heehaw, I knew it." She curled up her lips in a smile and got down from her chair. In long strides, she started walking towards Le fang Ling, one step at a time.

----

"Oh, she is going well." Nagina watched le fang Ling entering in the state of mediation.

"Well, that's my cue." She stopped whatever she was doing and started to cultivate accordingly.

She still had way too many spiritual aura stored in her storage and since Le Fang Ling was not using them at the moment, she was having the blast of her life with it.
