Inside the card space, a simple and ancient scroll slowly unfolded before him.
Starlight shimmered across it like a vast galaxy.
Among them, the most dazzling were the nine great planets, now radiating brilliant light.
As his consciousness entered it, a surge of power rose within him. The entire scroll transformed into a stream of light and merged into his body.
It gradually formed a complete circulation path—
The cultivation route of Stellar Power.
The residual Stellar Power within him was also activated at this moment, flowing along that path and completing a full circulation cycle.
At the same time, Lin Xian opened his eyes.
The soreness and swelling in his body had vanished.
Stellar Power… actually had healing properties as well.
He lifted his head slightly.
It felt as though an invisible connection had formed between himself, the scattered stars in the sky, and the bright moon above.
Subconsciously, following the method he had just learned, Lin Xian began circulating Stellar Power again.
The starlight and moonlight seemed to intensify, condensing into streams of warm energy that poured into his body.
They flowed through specific meridians, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.
If the situation allowed it, Lin Xian might have groaned out loud.
This power wasn't spirit power, nor any known elemental energy.
It was pure.
Vast.
As if it contained the mysteries of the entire universe.
Under his guidance, after completing another full cycle, the Stellar Power gradually spread throughout his body.
It nourished every inch of flesh and bone.
Even his spiritual power improved slightly.
After such a short time, Lin Xian could already sense farther distances and perceive even subtler changes.
As expected of a Red Card reward—
Its effects were truly heaven-defying.
If combined with spirit power, it would undoubtedly amplify the strength of his Spirit Abilities.
Compared to this, Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill was completely outclassed.
The most incredible part was—
After one full cycle, the Stellar Power began circulating on its own.
In other words, even if he lay down and did nothing, Star Attraction would continue cultivating automatically.
That was downright terrifying.
Lin Xian even suspected that if he kept cultivating like this daily, his sealed spirit power might recover in less than twenty days.
Of course, that was just speculation.
As more Stellar Power flowed into his body, he gradually relaxed.
Cultivation didn't feel difficult at all.
Everything happened naturally, like water flowing downhill.
Perhaps it was because of his Star Abyss Martial Soul, which resonated perfectly with this power.
Leaning against the carriage wall, Lin Xian quietly looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was resting beside him.
After days of mental strain, her face looked slightly tired, but it couldn't hide her natural beauty.
When she slept, her usual cold aura disappeared.
Her slightly pouting lips even gave her a hint of softness.
Her academy-style skirt revealed her long, fair legs—hard not to notice.
And…
Well—
Certain features were even harder to ignore.
To Lin Xian, they felt like the stars and the ocean—impossible not to look at.
Before he realized it, he had been staring for quite a while…
Only after some time did he snap out of it.
That was… a bit impolite.
He sat cross-legged, preparing to cultivate.
Then paused.
Since it could run automatically… why bother sitting?
Lying down would be much more comfortable.
Who said cultivation had to be tiring?
In those martial arts stories, people meditate cross-legged for hours, and when they stand up, their joints crack loudly.
That's not a breakthrough—
That's just stiffness from sitting too long.
So, Lin Xian lay down comfortably.
Of course, he didn't fall asleep.
He still had to stay alert.
Even though his spirit power was sealed, his spiritual perception remained intact.
After cultivating Star Attraction, he discovered a new use for it—
His mental force could spread outward and perceive his surroundings.
Every blade of grass, every insect, every movement—
All of it appeared clearly in his mind.
If he were in battle, he could predict his opponent's actions and respond accordingly.
Without realizing it, the night passed peacefully.
Nothing happened.
When the sun rose high into the sky, Zhu Zhuqing slowly woke up.
For some reason, she had slept especially well.
Perhaps it was because of the accumulated exhaustion…
Or perhaps because of the person beside her.
"You're awake? Want something to eat? The caravan brought some this morning. You were sleeping deeply, so I didn't wake you."
"How long was I asleep?"
"Past noon. We should reach Soto City in about four hours."
No wonder she felt hungry.
She took the food from him and began eating.
Her movements were elegant—
But surprisingly fast.
It was hard to imagine someone could eat so quickly while maintaining such composure.
"Why… why are you staring at me?"
Zhu Zhuqing noticed his gaze, met his eyes briefly, then looked away.
"Nothing. You just look kind of cute when you eat. Like a little hamster."
"What's a hamster?"
"A small pet from my hometown. I'll show you someday."
"…Oh. Then stop staring at me."
Ah, a bit tsundere.
Lin Xian smiled but didn't push it further, continuing his cultivation instead.
During the day, the Stellar Power he absorbed came from the sun.
Compared to the gentle starlight and moonlight, this energy was far more violent.
Because of that, he couldn't cultivate continuously—two hours a day was already his limit.
Still, his cultivation method was… unconventional.
He simply lay down and looked like he was sleeping.
If Zhu Zhuqing hadn't sensed the energy flowing around him, she would've thought he had passed out again.
It was the strangest cultivation method she had ever seen.
Before they knew it, the afternoon passed.
The setting sun cast golden light across the land.
And finally—
They arrived at Soto City.
