The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Chi Miao looked around blankly at the crowd, whose faces were filled with worry.

It looks like... she's been dead for a while.

She put one hand to her mouth and bit her finger: "So, how long has passed?"

Master Puning smiled gently: "Seven months have passed since you returned from the Mirror of Rebirth, and you are about a week behind them."

Chi Miao's eyes widened as she looked around incredulously, asking, "Really?"

Seven months!

She felt that they had only been in the Mirror of Rebirth for half a day at most!

The spirit silently stepped out and smiled sheepishly: "Well, the flow of time in the Mirror of Rebirth is different from that in the outside world. Sometimes it's fast and sometimes it's slow. It's really hard to say exactly how fast or slow it is."

Because the Mirror of Rebirth does not possess the concepts and rules of time and space, time within it is chaotic.

Chi Miao suddenly asked curiously, "If I were to take a nap inside, wouldn't I exhaust all of you by the time I came out?"

Master Puning: "..."

The group of prodigies: "..."

Such a unique angle seems to be something only Chi Miao could come up with.

Mirror Spirit: "Theoretically, it's not possible, because Mother's consciousness has only entered, while her physical body is still growing naturally outside. Maybe if you take a nap inside, you'll come out as nothing but a skeleton. Of course... if you know how to possess someone else's body, then there's no problem. We can randomly select a lucky audience member to possess."

What does it mean to randomly select a lucky audience member to possess?

Everyone looked at the Mirror Spirit in horror. How could you be so wicked when you look so cute?

too horrible!

Chi Miao pursed her lips, finding the idea quite reasonable, and nodded.

Everyone: "..."

Why are you nodding?!

Can you please give up those messy thoughts in your head?

Chi Miao's consciousness returned to her physical body, and all the gains from the Rebirth Mirror and the spiritual energy she had naturally cultivated in the outside world over the past seven months were now in place.

Now, upon closer inspection, several round, pill-shaped orbs of light have appeared inside my body.

That's... a Golden Core or a Void Core?

One, two, three, four, five, six—six kinds of spiritual power and six golden cores within her body, not one more and not one less!

Overjoyed, Chi Miao exclaimed, "I'm half-step into the Golden Core stage?!"

Everyone: "???"

"Wait, how come you suddenly broke through to a higher level?!"

He even directly crossed a small threshold, reaching the half-step Golden Core stage!

This means that Chi Miao is now at the same level as other top geniuses. How long has Chi Miao been cultivating?

It's only been a year at most!

From zero to half a step into the Golden Core stage, it only took one year!

When everyone realized this, they gasped in shock.

Abnormal! The ultimate, most invincible abnormality!

They toiled to the death, suffering countless torments and near-death experiences before finally gaining a sliver of Dao essence. How come you leveled up while lying down?

Is there no justice in this world?!

Chi Miao: "I've been stuck at the late Foundation Establishment stage for seven months and only just reached the half-step Golden Core stage. What's so surprising about that? What, after staying inside for seven months, your physical cultivation outside didn't generate enough spiritual energy to level up?"

Everyone: "Huh??"

What about physical cultivation?

Chi Miao was also surprised: "Don't you cultivate with your physical body? I only entered the Mirror of Rebirth after my physical body entered a cultivation state."

Everyone: "You can do that?!"

They weren't really in a meditative state at the time; they were just sitting there.

The gains brought by the Mirror of Rebirth are all they have gained during this period.

And now you're telling them that you entered a state of cultivation?

You're making them look really stupid.

Chi Miao: "You guys can't be that stupid, can you...?"

Everyone: "Get lost! We don't want to talk to a talentless idiot like you!"

Even with natural physical cultivation, it's impossible to condense a golden core or nascent core simply by absorbing spiritual energy.

Chi Miao's talent is too abnormal.

They just want some peace and quiet right now.

The prodigies have either left or scattered.

Chi Miao: "Hey! Don't go! Jin Shengfei? Ying Wuhuo? The monk! Yu Wuxin? Rong Xuanji!"

Those whose names were called quickly sped up.

Speechless!

I just can't stand it!

Chi Miao clicked his tongue: "A bunch of heartless people!"

We're all such good friends, what's wrong with listening to her show off a little?

Praise her and give her some feedback!

She thought her move of entering the Rebirth Mirror only after entering a meditative state was incredibly clever.

Moreover, she only said that she was half a step into the Golden Core stage, not that she had six Golden Cores. She was very restrained, wasn't she?

"Why doesn't this cultivation world have some kind of social circle?"

Even if you run away, she can still post on her WeChat Moments and get your likes!

Master Puning, standing nearby, poked his head out and asked, "What's WeChat Moments?"

Chi Miao was startled.

"Are you still there?"

"Well, Moments... how should I put it? It's where everyone can see a message I post through communication devices, and they can even like it."

Master Puning smiled, finding it quite novel.

"What you're describing about WeChat Moments is truly amazing and interesting. If it could really be done like that... it would save time and effort. In the future, if there's anything in the cultivation world that needs to be announced, just post a message on WeChat Moments."

Chi Miao caught a like-minded friend: "Right, you think it's convenient too!"

Master Puning looked at Chi Miao and sighed inwardly that this child was truly intelligent.

If we could really create that kind of social media circle.

That would truly be a boon to the cultivation world, where news travels slowly.

There were less than four months left before entering the Heavenly Sorrow Cave. In these few months, some minor mishaps occurred. People from Nine Swords Mountain came, people from Heavenly Sword Sect came, and people from various sects came to visit.

He was trying to convey a message, but since the children were in the Mirror of Rebirth and it wasn't convenient for them, he was really caught in the middle and had a real dilemma.

If we could really create this kind of social media circle, how convenient it would be!

He looked at Chi Miao: "Can you... create this so-called 'Moments'?"

Chi Miao stared in astonishment, her pupils even dilating in shock, at Master Puning: "Master... are you kidding me?"

She said she was a master who didn't care about worldly affairs, so why ask this? Just trying to be pretentious like her.

Don't get addicted to this kind of nonsense!

Master Puning smiled and said, "Amitabha, monks do not lie. Since I asked, I am naturally sincere."

Chi Miao's body trembled, so frightened that she almost instinctively closed the coffin lid on herself again.

My apologies, my apologies.

Is she trying to turn this world-renowned master into an internet-addicted old man?

To be honest... if it can really be done, it would indeed be a milestone for the cultivation world.

Although there are many methods of transmitting sound in the cultivation world, they are too targeted and lack the ability to spread over a wide area.

Otherwise, with her incredible talent, her fame would have spread long ago, and the "Handbook of Prodigies" should have recorded her name.

With her skills, if she were to humbly claim the top spot on the list, she could easily be considered the number one prodigy in the cultivation world, right?

That's so pretentious! It's more bragging-worthy than being in the newspapers or on TV!

The thought crossed Chi Miao's mind, and she secretly glanced at Master Puning beside her: "Then..."

"What benefits would I get if I could create this social media presence?"

It's clear that Master Puning really wants it.

It's stupid not to take advantage of a good deal.
