Chapter 1203 – Absorption (3)
Shen Yanxiao nodded her head with her eyes closed. An Ran hesitated for a moment, but he could no longer bear
the load on his body. He could only get up and stumble toward the door.
When An Ran went outside, the first floor of the Pure Spirit Tower was left with only Shen Yanxiao and Qie Er.
Shen Yanxiao’s eyes were closed, hence she was oblivious to how shocked Qie Er was as he stared at her at this
moment.
For more than an hour, this low-level elf could still continue to persist? Qie Er couldn’t believe his own pair of eyes.
If he hadn’t known that the burden of life force in this tower was unbearable to the elves and that it was impossible
for the elves to pretend they could, Qie Er really wanted to think that Shen Yanxiao was just pretending to be calm.
A lot of black elves had already left under such a strong power, but this minor, low-level elf was actually the last
one left inside!
What was even more frightening was that Qie Er did not feel that Shen Yanxiao had any discomfort at all. Her face
was exactly the same as when she had entered the Pure Spirit Tower. There was no sign of pain and no paleness on
her face. She was like a statue, sitting quietly there.
Qie Er looked at the time. He frowned and continued to wait.
He wondered how long this low-level elf, who was put into the advanced training camp as a special case, could last
on the first floor of the Pure Spirit Tower.
In fact, Shen Yanxiao did not feel a little uncomfortable. At the beginning of her cultivation, Shen Yanxiao did
cultivate according to Xiu’s instructions for a period of time, but then, she found that when she absorbed the power
of the Tree of Life, she did not have the feeling that she could not digest it. No matter how much force was poured
into her body, she could consume it in the shortest period of time.
Her source of life was like a person who had been hungry for a long time. In front of such a tremendous force, it
was like Taotie who never knew satisfaction.
Shen Yanxiao extended her absorption time from one minute to two minutes, and now, she had not interrupted her
absorption of life force for half an hour.
Yet, she still did not feel any discomfort. She could clearly feel the power of the Tree of Life flowing into her body,
and the source of life in her body was growing at an astonishing speed.
From a small sapling, it gradually grew into a green tree with a thick, small trunk.
Watching a seed sprouting in her own body and growing into a real tree, this feeling was wonderful for Shen
Yanxiao.
‘How does it feel?’ Xiu’s voice sounded inside Shen Yanxiao’s mind. At the beginning, he let Shen Yanxiao cultivate
conservatively, but later he found that this little girl’s ability to withstand the power of the Tree of Life could be said
to be endless, so he also just let her have her way.

However, he also shrouded Shen Yanxiao’s source of life in a protective screen to prevent accidents.
“It feels great.” Shen Yanxiao really thought that such a feeling of frantically absorbing the power around her was
wonderful and indescribable. She could clearly feel that her power as an elf was gradually becoming stronger.
‘It seems that the state of your elf’s side is just like your human side. After it had been suppressed by the God’s Seal
for a long time, it will be frantically full of power when you start cultivating. Being dried up for too long, it instead
helps you grow.’ Xiu carefully analyzed the situation of Shen Yanxiao.
The seal on Shen Yanxiao’s body brought her thirteen years of miserable life. But these thirteen years had also given
birth to the speed of her ascent. If she had not been repressed repeatedly, it was feared that her muscles and veins
and spiritual force would not be as strong as they was today.
Such a blessing in disguise was really a good thing.
