Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 1962 - 1964: Transcending the Mundane

Afraid it’ll get out? Zhang Caixin snorted dismissively, "In the end, it’s all about the female factor, why doesn’t he look for someone else?"

Zhong Lijing’s looks are indeed relatively pretty among the newcomers.

"Ahem," Sister Hong coughed lightly twice, "Alright, it’s right not to spread it, otherwise someone might really get uneasy."

Everyone agreed not to spread it, but how could it not get out? In a few days, those who should know all knew.

Zhao Xia and Liu Yuting aside, after Liang Siyu heard the rumor, she considered it for two days and couldn’t help but find Zhang Caixin, "Caixin, when you first entered the state of shedding the mundane, did you have any special tips?"

"I started off at half a step into shedding the mundane, you know that," Zhang Caixin rolled her eyes helplessly, answering irritably, "Just say it, what exactly do you want?"

In fact, she could pretty much figure out why her best friend came, this kind of thing... she also felt quite conflicted.

Liang Siyu glanced around, lowered her voice, and said, "So, I heard your husband is quite good at dealing with such things?"

She didn’t dare to use the word "boss" casually. Who doesn’t know in the manor now? Just mentioning those two words would inevitably draw the boss’s attention—when did Elder Feng become this capable?

Zhang Caixin sighed helplessly, "So, do I have a bestie who’s thinking about my husband?"

"Just lend him to me," Liang Siyu said with a smile, "He won’t wear out, I’ll return him when I’m done!"

"You shameless one," Zhang Caixin spat at her with a smile, but since the boss wasn’t only hers, she didn’t take offense. Instead, she straightened her face and spoke seriously, "You’re different from Xiao Zhong, she never had a boyfriend."

Zhong Lijing actually had a boyfriend before, and everyone knew she came to Luohua after a "breakup," so what Xiao Caixin referred to as "having a boyfriend" was just a physical state.

"Oh, I was young and naïve back then," Liang Siyu sighed softly, "Now, it’s really too late for regrets... But, I don’t ask to immediately reach the second stage of shedding the mundane, just stepping into the threshold, that shouldn’t be too hard, right?"

Zhang Caixin just shook her head, "I’m not sure how much of a foundation he needs to solidify, but I can be sure of one thing, I guess you won’t be able to help much."

Liang Siyu’s face scrunched up, offering herself, yet still scorned by others, it was indeed quite humiliating to know that although she resembled Zhang Yunzhen somewhat, she was much prettier than Feng Jun’s 75-point ex-girlfriend.

But at the moment, she couldn’t care about the humiliation, only expressing, "I tell you, Caixin, the manor has recruited two batches of people one after another, and I’m the only one who actually paid real silver to work here, this should earn you some face, right? If I keep failing to shed the mundane, where’s your face?"

Zhang Caixin also knew that Liang Siyu truly was the only one who paid to work there.

The key is... Luohua’s second person really cares about face, the person she recommended has worked hard for more than two years and hasn’t shed the mundane, while the newcomer Teacher Mei introduced has been here for just over two months and already reached the second stage of shedding the mundane!

Zhang Caixin pondered for a moment before speaking, "Let’s take half a year, a deadline of six months. If you still haven’t shed the mundane by then, I’ll find a way to help you solve it... Yu Qingzhu took about half a year to shed the mundane."

Her words were not entirely accurate. When Yu Qingzhu started cultivating, the elder personally said that her entry would be difficult, and indeed, it was challenging to cross the threshold, but her progress quickened afterwards.

Zhang Caixin didn’t intend to fool her best friend, but she really didn’t dare make any promises, and Feng Jun’s decision was not something she could make. Postponing it was the sensible thing to do.

In fact, she was very sentimental and indeed tried to make an effort.

After dinner, she stopped the boss, quietly conveyed Liang Siyu’s request, and expressed, "...she already senses qi, I estimate she’ll soon step into shedding the mundane, now she just needs you, the boss, to make a promise, it might not even be necessary."

Feng Jun rolled his eyes and spoke helplessly, "Do you really see me as a mere tool? Hold on a moment..."

He took out his mobile phone, swiped twice, and discovered that for Liang Siyu to step into shedding the mundane, it would roughly take another four months, making a total of eight months—even with his significant pill supply, proving that the cultivation path isn’t that easy.

After thinking about it, he said, "Six months is impossible, I suspect she might not even have qi sensation now, maybe she’s fooling you."

It’s not she’s fooling me, it’s me fooling you! Zhang Caixin understood very well in her heart, so she had nothing to say,

Feng Jun also guessed the possibility, but in life, understanding without revealing, considering that Liang Siyu indeed spent real silver, he straightforwardly stated, "You can discreetly tell her if she doesn’t shed the mundane in six months, I can give her a Youthening Pill."

Youthening Pill? Zhang Caixin raised her eyebrows and nodded with a smile, "Alright."

She’s very sure, just for this Youthening Pill, Liang Siyu wouldn’t mind failing to shed the mundane—even if she can’t, there’s no other option. How could she think this way? In fact, if Liang Siyu wishes to advance through cultivation techniques, there are others to seek besides Feng Jun.

Nearby, Yu Qingzhu, who was practicing cultivation, furrowed her brows slightly again—her Earth Listening Technique was becoming more skillful, but she was pondering, isn’t he a flirtatious guy? Why would he be so dismissive of Liang Siyu?

Sure enough, when Zhang Caixin mentioned Feng Jun’s intentions to Liang Siyu, Liang Siyu instantly froze, "Longevity Elixir... Is there really such a thing?"

"There is," Zhang Caixin affirmed very confidently, "But it’s extremely rare. I actually consumed one not long ago."

"You plastic bestie..." Liang Siyu laughed and joked with her for a while before sighing softly, "Cai Xin, I really don’t see much difference compared to Zhong Lijing. Why doesn’t he fancy me?"

"You’re pretty similar," Zhang Caixin spoke from the perspective of a best friend, "But, who asked you to have had a boyfriend before?"

"Ugh, that jerk really ruined me," Liang Siyu clenched her teeth with intense resentment as she talked about the topic.

But she quickly adjusted her mood, and even began to plan, "Cai Xin, why don’t I pause my cultivation for now, get some cosmetic surgery, recover, and then just wait for the Longevity Elixir... What do you think?"

She was undoubtedly beautiful, but dissatisfied with small blemishes on her face. Given the chance to obtain the elixir, why not adjust to her most beautiful state?

"Don’t you dare!" Zhang Caixin adamantly disagreed, "Let me tell you, Siyu, if you do that, I won’t support your cultivation resources in the future... Which is more important, looks or cultivation?"

After all, even Xiao Caixin had her pride—this elixir was a compensation I fought for you, and you dare to slack off?

Liang Siyu was indeed somewhat afraid of her friend now, who was Luohua’s second-in-command, with many people needing to heed her presence. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

But thinking further, she realized she wasn’t that old, and after getting the elixir, she’d step into transcending the mundane first, then do the cosmetic surgery, and then take it—no harm done.

With this relaxed mindset, she went back to cultivating, and surprisingly, a miracle occurred.

She had accumulated enough wisdom, wasn’t lacking in knowledge, but constantly comparing herself to others in Luohua, she couldn’t enter the transcending phase and felt anxious inside, her emotions unstable, making it hard to enter the proper state.

By relaxing, she coincidentally tapped into the true cultivation state, and one afternoon she naturally stepped into the first layer of transcending the mundane.

Her breakthrough hardly caused a stir, the surrounding people weren’t affected much, but Feng Jing, with keen senses, immediately halted her practice and rushed over to protect her.

Initially entering the transcending phase felt incredibly mysterious, Liang Siyu vaguely sensed she might have touched onto something, moving her breath naturally, over and over, unable to stop.

At this point, someone finished cultivation and walked out, shocked to see Dean Mei seated at Liang Siyu’s doorstep, making a "silent" gesture, instantly understanding what had happened, "Is this... a breakthrough?"

For cultivators in Xiuzhen Courtyard, it’s not the first time they witnessed someone breaking through, yet they knew that within the room was Luohua’s Liang Siyu, a woman struggling to reach the transcending phase.

Someone approached, cupping their hands lightly, and spoke, "Once transcending the mundane, forever extraordinary!"

As dinner time drew near, more people emerged, even wanting to debate the Dao, noticing the unusual atmosphere, quietly inquiring, realizing Liang Siyu had transcended, cupping hands from afar to congratulate.

By convention, someone advancing would meet no disturbances, even Dao debates would relocate, yet this time from an extraordinary aura, someone approached softly to experience this atmosphere.

In actuality, normal sounds wouldn’t affect Liang Siyu, each room had its independent defenses, nonetheless, everyone preferred to uphold respect for a fellow cultivator’s advancement.

Dean Mei declined their request to feel the aura, expressing that a newcomer to transcending mundane’s aura might not be stable, urging everyone to continue their tasks and feel it later when she emerged.

Liang Siyu stabilized her aura, vaguely realizing she had transcended, with mixed surprise and joy—not expecting this sudden transition before being fully prepared.

Upon opening the room door, it was already the next morning, seeing Dean Mei meditating at the threshold, she raised her hand in salutation, "Thank you, Dean, for the protection... I’ve transcended, haven’t I?"

Director Mei nodded, someone nearby already offering congratulations, "Congratulations to Dao Friend Liang, once transcended, forever extraordinary..."

Liang Siyu felt as if dreaming, dumbfoundedly returning the thanks multiple times until abruptly recalling something, unintentionally crying out, "Oh heavens, my Youthening..."

Thankfully, she was somewhat cautious, refraining from uttering the full phrase, though others nearby grew curious, "What leading role?"

Dean Mei cast a cold glance at Liang Siyu, softly spoke, "Siyu, aren’t you overwhelmed with happiness?"
