"I thought it was just my imagination," another person said.
It had been a month since his last visit here.
During his cultivation session today, he felt that the spiritual energy wasn't as dense as before. He thought it might be because of the injury he suffered last time, which caused problems when absorbing spiritual energy. But he was afraid of being looked down upon, so he didn't dare to say anything.
"I've also noticed that the spiritual energy is not abundant," the last person said as he opened his eyes and looked at them.
The three people in the room all felt that the spiritual energy was different. So they glanced at each other, then got up and walked out.
Shortly after they left, people from other rooms also came out one after another.
As more and more people came out, they could clearly feel that all the spiritual energy was flowing towards a certain place - Song Jianming's cultivation room.
"Why is all the spiritual energy flowing towards the president's cultivation room?" someone asked, looking at Song Jianming's cultivation room in confusion.
"Maybe the president is cultivating today, so he's absorbing all this spiritual energy?" Some people had been cultivating here for half a month, so they didn't know that Feng Yuqin had been brought here by Song Jianming to cultivate today.
"The president isn't there. It's a newly - arrived guest elder who's cultivating inside," someone began to explain to those who were in the dark.
"What? How could a guest elder who just arrived today be allowed to cultivate here?" Those who didn't know the situation clearly obviously didn't believe it.
It wasn't until others who knew the truth all said the same thing that they were shocked.
In the Alchemy Union, it had never been heard of that someone could come to this place on their first day in the union.
But this cultivation room belonged to the president, and they had no right to say anything.
However, because of Feng Yuqin, all the spiritual energy was flowing towards her. How could they continue their cultivation?
So these people started walking towards the president's cultivation room.
They wanted to figure out what was going on.
Why could Feng Yuqin attract all the spiritual energy towards her?
When they got there, they found a very powerful barrier outside.
"This must be the barrier set up by the president," someone said.
"Who on earth is Feng Yuqin? Why would the president personally set up a protective barrier for her?" Someone was very curious about Feng Yuqin's identity.
"I don't know her exact identity, but I've heard that she's very beautiful and has excellent alchemy skills."
After all, had anyone in the Alchemy Union ever refined pills of 100% quality?
"Anyway, she's affecting our cultivation. We can't just let it go like this," someone said.
"What should we do then?" These people didn't know what to do.
"Find the president. We're not allowed to use the president's cultivation room, but this Feng Yuqin is snatching our cultivation resources. Who knows what kind of sorcery she's using?"
"Yes, let's go together and ask the president to uphold justice for us."
Both Xiaoying and Xiaojin were aware of what was going on outside.
Seeing this, they didn't really care.
It wasn't until those people rushed off to find the president that Xiaoying said, "Do you think the president will side with us or them?"
"I don't know," Xiaojin replied. "The thing is, it's very rare for someone to snatch spiritual energy like this. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to get a spiritual artifact like the Ice - Soul Spirit - Gathering Hairpin."
That's right. The Ice - Soul Spirit - Gathering Hairpin was a spiritual artifact.
In the Central Region, spiritual artifacts were extremely rare.
While they were talking, Feng Yuqin leveled up again.
From the ninth level of the Soul King...
To the peak of the ninth level...
And then to the Soul Venerable realm...
It was when Feng Yuqin reached the Soul Venerable realm that her appearance also changed.
"Xiaoying, look..." Xiaojin was more sensitive to spatial perception. As soon as he noticed something strange, he immediately shouted at Xiaoying.
Xiaoying also looked over, and they saw that Feng Yuqin's appearance and temperament were changing.
This change was huge.
Previously, there were only minor changes, and one could just feel that Feng Yuqin had become much more beautiful.
But this time, her appearance had changed astonishingly.
Her features were as if carved by a master, perfect without a single flaw.
Her skin became even more crystal - clear and translucent.
"Why has the master's appearance changed so much?" Xiaojin was also shocked.
Xiaoying glanced at Feng Yuqin and said, "Maybe it's because she reached the Soul Venerable realm at such a young age."
"I think it might be related to the master's bloodline," Xiaojin said. "Don't you remember? I once said that ordinary people couldn't form a contract with me, only those with noble bloodlines. The master has a very noble bloodline. That's why she cultivates fast and her appearance changes too."
"This is the first time I've seen such a big change during cultivation," Xiaoying sighed.
He had seen changes before, but they were just like Feng Yuqin's previous ones - simple adjustments. But this time, Feng Yuqin's appearance had changed dramatically.
Most notably, her whole temperament was ethereal and cold - proud. With her peerless beauty and such a temperament, he had never seen anything like it.
"Yes, the master is simply too beautiful now..." Xiaojin said excitedly.
"Those people are coming back," Xiaoying said after detecting the situation outside with his divine sense. "The president is coming with them."
Xiaojin also detected the situation and found that not only the president but also Qi Ruyi had come.
He immediately woke Feng Yuqin up through the connection of the spatial domain.
When Feng Yuqin learned that Song Jianming had come, she flashed out of the space with her divine sense.
Xiaoying was relieved to see Feng Yuqin appear in the cultivation room. Then he continued to observe the situation outside with his divine sense.
"Master, Qi Ruyi is still in the union. Do you think Ma Guangyao has left?" Xiaoying asked.
"It's possible. But even if he hasn't left, Qi Ruyi won't let him stay," Feng Yuqin said calmly. "After all, I gave them time. Today is the second day. At most, one of them will leave tomorrow. And the Qi family's power is stronger than Ma Guangyao's family. Ma Guangyao probably can't compete with the Qi family."
"Anyway, according to their situation, they'll probably fight. Even if they don't, we can find a way to make them turn against each other," Xiaojin said.
Feng Yuqin thought so too. She took out her alchemy furnace, started refining pills, and at the same time, paid attention to the situation outside with her divine sense.
Because of her powerful spiritual power, even when facing a master like Song Jianming, as long as she was careful, she wouldn't be discovered.
"President, look. All the surrounding spiritual energy is really flowing towards your cultivation room. We're not lying," a man following Song Jianming stepped forward excitedly and said. "President, we've all worked hard to get the chance to cultivate here. But this Feng Yuqin occupied your cultivation room on her first day in the union. Since it's yours, we can't say anything. But she's affecting our cultivation. That's not right."
