Chapter 22: The Price of Flowing Long Hair

A moment later.

Only 10 minutes had passed since Qin Xiao instructed Uncle Ma to investigate the identity of Haixian Live’s Buyao, and the phone rang again.

“Young Master, I’ve found her. This streamer’s name is Su Yunmeng, a native of Zhaoge, from a non-martial artist family. Her parents work at XX, and her address is listed as XX Road, No. XX. The specific address still needs to be verified,” Uncle Ma reported everything he had found.

Clearly, what Uncle Ma had found was the fake identity created by the system using a vulnerability.

“Is there anything suspicious about her identity?” Qin Xiao asked.

“There is nothing suspicious. Other than being good-looking, she is a very ordinary girl in all aspects,” Uncle Ma replied.

“Hmm… Ordinary?”

Qin Xiao was lost in thought. Could an ordinary girl in all aspects dance such a stunningly beautiful classical dance and write verses like “On the day the King’s army pacifies the Central Plains in the north, do not forget to tell your old man at the family sacrifice”?

“I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Ma,” Qin Xiao said.

“Serving your family has always been our clan’s mission. Young Master need not speak of hardship,” Uncle Ma said firmly.

“You… forget it. Stand by for now. Don’t disturb the person you’re investigating yet,” Qin Xiao said helplessly.

“Yes, Young Master.”

In the evening, after dinner.

Su Yu took a simple shower and then sat cross-legged on the bed, naked.

She tried her best to suppress the feelings of shyness and curiosity in her heart, shifting her attention elsewhere.

She didn’t dare to look at her own naked body.

The reason she was doing this was because of the “Primal Spirit Returning Art,” a High-Grade Superior Body Tempering Realm cultivation technique.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed naked was a requirement of this cultivation method.

Removing all clothing and coverings could increase the speed of spiritual energy absorption.

Of course, before she cultivated this “Primal Spirit Returning Art,” there were other things she needed to prepare.

The next second.

A delicate, conical vial appeared out of thin air in Su Yu’s hand.

This was Spirit-Nurturing Dew.

Inside the vial was a liquid containing a large amount of spiritual energy.

She only needed to spray it around her like perfume to temporarily increase the spiritual energy concentration in her vicinity, thereby increasing her speed of cultivation and advancement as a martial artist.

This small vial of Spirit-Nurturing Dew lasted for 3 hours, enough for her to cultivate at night.

As for the origin of this Spirit-Nurturing Dew…

It was naturally her Valkyrie System.

This small vial of Spirit-Nurturing Dew cost 500 Popularity Value in the system’s [Shop].

The price could be said to be very expensive!

If it weren’t for being able to live stream, she wouldn’t know where to get so much Popularity Value.

Let’s test the effect first.

Su Yu crushed the transparent vial of Spirit-Nurturing Dew and sprinkled the viscous liquid around her body.

In an instant.

The entire room was filled with a dense mist.

A strange, faint fragrance spread around.

It made Su Yu feel waves of refreshment.

According to the system shop’s description of the Spirit-Nurturing Dew, the area covered by it would have a 10-fold increase in spiritual energy concentration for 3 hours, and this spiritual energy was extremely pure and very easy to absorb.

As Su Yu calmed her mind and began to cultivate the “Primal Spirit Returning Art.”

Within the area affected by the Spirit-Nurturing Dew, visible spiritual energy was absorbed into her body through the skin all over her body.

After the spiritual energy was absorbed into her body, it immediately began to nourish the bones throughout her body.

The Body Tempering Realm of the martial artist path was divided into 1st-stage Meridian Refining, 2nd-stage Bone Forging, and 3rd-stage Flesh and Blood Refining.

Each stage was divided into Low, Mid, High, and Peak, 4 levels.

Currently, Su Yu was at the Mid-Grade of the 2nd stage.

Only when she reached the peak of the 2nd stage and her bone forging was complete would she have a chance to advance to a 3rd-stage martial artist and reach the Flesh and Blood Refining stage.

Three hours later.

Su Yu opened her eyes and let out a long breath.

The surrounding environment had also returned to normal. The dense, mist-like spiritual energy had all been absorbed by Su Yu.

After finishing her cultivation, Su Yu eagerly opened her character card.

Martial Artist Level: Body Tempering Realm Second Stage Mid-Grade 67%.

One cultivation session, an 8% increase!

You have to know, it was not easy to improve in the second stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

The original owner had already reached the second-stage martial artist level when she was a sophomore in high school, but after practicing for two years, she was only at 59% of the mid-grade of the second stage.

Su Yu roughly calculated her current cultivation speed.

Compared to before, her current cultivation speed was about 20 times the original!

Among them, the effect of the Spirit-Nurturing Dew was indispensable, directly increasing the concentration of surrounding spiritual energy.

The “Primal Spirit Returning Art” also played a certain role. The “Mystic Guiding Art” she originally cultivated could only absorb spiritual energy from her Dantian and the palms of her hands.

But the Primal Spirit Returning Art absorbed spiritual energy through the skin of the whole body, which was much more efficient.

By this calculation, in just a few days, she could become a high-grade second-stage martial artist!

However, the premise was that she had to use Popularity Value to continuously buy Spirit-Nurturing Dew to speed up her cultivation.

It seemed that live streaming was a must…

As for the other type of currency related to wealth in the system’s [Shop], it could only be used to buy things that existed in this world and could not create something out of nothing.

Moreover, after purchasing with currency value, her money in reality would also be deducted accordingly.

Although the currency shop was not as useful as the Popularity Value shop, at least she could buy things from this world like cultivation techniques, equipment, martial skills, and pills at normal prices.

At least the system’s prices were fair to all, and she wouldn’t buy fake goods.

Late at night.

Su Yu took another shower.

There was no help for it. After cultivating, her body always felt sticky.

And, she also needed to wash her hair…

Even in her past life, she didn’t like washing her hair much. If it weren’t for entering the entertainment industry, for her image and the company’s requirements, she wouldn’t want to wash her hair frequently.

Especially since she had to blow-dry it after washing, which was particularly troublesome.

Now that she had become a girl, washing her hair was even more troublesome.

Long, flowing hair was beautiful…

But it was a hassle to wash.

Not only was it tiring to wash, but it was also particularly slow to blow-dry. Just washing and drying her hair would take up a lot of her time.

Time she could have spent cultivating or preparing for her live stream dance.

But she had no choice.

She had to stream tomorrow as well. To show her best side and not let the audience see oily hair, she had to endure her dissatisfaction and start washing her hair.

20 minutes later.

Su Yu held the hairdryer, reluctantly blowing her hair.

As expected.

Blowing hair is so troublesome.

Especially with such long hair.

In her past life, because she was considered a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry, someone would style her hair for her, and of course, someone would also blow-dry it for her.

Now, she was alone, so she could only do it herself.

‘Wuwuwu…’

‘If I had known, I wouldn’t have moved out. Otherwise, at home, I could still pester my mom to help me blow-dry my hair.’

How about…

She found some time to cut off this long hair of hers?

Young ladies with short hair were also quite good-looking. As for dancing, she could wear a wig.

Hmm… still no.

Su Yu looked in the mirror. With the wind from the hairdryer, her soft and beautiful black hair flowed with the wind…

In the end, she couldn’t bear to part with such beautiful long hair.

She could only helplessly continue to blow her hair.

Mmm…

If only there was someone who could help her blow-dry her hair.
