Cultivation Online

After the 10th ring, the golden bell fell silent, but both Yuan and Lady Xiang could somehow tell that it wasn't completely over yet.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Xu Jiaqi asked them, as she was completely clueless to the situation.

"Once one comprehends the soul cultivation technique, the golden bell will ring a certain number of times with nine— ten rings being the maximum, and the more times you manage to make it ring, the stronger your understanding of the technique will be. In other words, the more it rings the better." Lady Xiang explained in a dazed voice.

And she continued, "For reference, I made the bell ring six times when I comprehended the technique, and I was considered a genius that would appear only once every few million years."

After swallowing nervously, she said, "Your little friend here has managed to make the bell ring ten times… that kind of talent is frightening. I cannot imagine what kind of monster he'll be like in the future."

Although it might be a bit rude to call Yuan a monster, Lady Xiang could not think of another term to call him by, and his talent was truly monstrous.

"So what happens now?" Xu Jiaqi asked.

Lady Xiang shook her head, "I don't know. The golden bell should've disappeared after it stopped ringing, but it's still here for some reason, so it might not be the end just yet. As for what might happen, I cannot even begin to imagine."

"..."

After a brief moment of silence, Xu Jiaqi spoke while staring at Yuan, who was still sitting there with his eyes closed, "How are you feeling?"

"..."

However, almost as though he couldn't even hear her, Yuan remained silent.

Xu Jiaqi didn't try to speak to him again, fearing that she might disturb his trance.
