Ah Chun: Ascending The Heavens 213 Escaping The Underground Cavern

Time pa.s.sed and Ah Chun finally opened her eyes after a few hours of cultivating. The once glowing spirit pool was now very dim and clear. It no longer had the l.u.s.ter it once had. Ah Chun looked down at her body to see a layer of black sludge covering every part of her skin. She quickly washed her body off in the spirit pool. When she was all clean she could see that her skin like smooth white jade. It felt soft and smooth to the touch. She could feel how much stronger she had become. Not just her skin but her muscles and bones too. She had broken through to rank four of body refinement.

"This is a good starting point. I feel as strong as someone of the first level of Qi Condensation from my memories when I cultivated before. I wonder if this cultivation system is the true way to cultivate? Whatever it is I need to now work on getting out of here. Unfortunately, I still can not use spirit power so I will not be able to make a teleportation formation. But with my current strength I should be able to get out of here." 

Ah Chun got up out of the spirit pool which was now nothing more than a pool of water. Ah Chun picked up the clothes she had taken off and frowned.  "These stink so bad… Since I already dirtied the water with the filth from my body I mise well wash these first and let them dry before going anywhere else. Luckily this place is rather warm so I do not have to worry about getting sick."  

With that thought in mind, Ah Chun went to work was.h.i.+ng her tattered clothes. After they were cleaned up Ah Chun hung them on some stalagmites that were protruding out of the ground. After which Ah Chun wandered around the cavern a bit. She walked back into the room to see if she missed anything. There was not much else in the room except a few pieces of cloth that she found sitting in a corner. Ah Chun took the cloth and wiped down the stone bed so she could have a place to sit. She figured there was no sense in wasting cultivation time since she had to wait for her clothes to dry anyways. 

Time pa.s.sed again and Ah Chun slowly opened her eyes. She did not breakthrough but she felt that she was getting close to rank five body refinement. Ah Chun did not know this world's standard on cultivation.  She did not know if being seven years old and rank four body refinement was considered "good" in cultivation speed. But seeing how she had only just started cultivating for the first time, she figured it must be pretty good even if she did use the spirit pool to a.s.sist in speeding up her cultivation. 

"My Clothes should be dry by now and it  is a bit uncomfortable to be walking around naked everywhere." Ah Chun got up and dusted her body off before walking out of the room to where her clothes were. After seeing that they were pretty much dry she quickly put them on. 

"That's better… Now I need to get out of this place." Ah Chun walked over to the wall which she dropped from and frowned to see how smooth it was.  She could not climb up it but she might be able to run up it high enough and catch the rope. She only needed to get high enough to reach the rope. Then she could climb up it and see what she can do from there. 

Ah Chun backed up a few meters before running at full speed towards the wall. Her little foot touched the smooth surface of the wall as she used both hands and feet to scurry up it. She had just enough momentum to reach up to where she could reach out and grab the rope.  Once she got ahold of the rope she gave a good tug to make sure it was still secure. As of now if she fell from this height with her cultivation base she would be fine so she had no issues really tugging on the rope. 

After seeing that the rope was secure Ah Chun climbed up it like a spider. She was quick in her ascent as she climbed all the way to the protruding rock on the wall. Ah Chun was surprised to see how the rock the rope was tied to was only part of a larger ledge that stuck out of the wall. Ah Chun reached up and pulled herself up onto the ledge. Once she was up she leaned over and untied the rope from the protruding rock. 

Ah Chun looked around to see a tunnel in the wall. The tunnel was dark but Ah Chun's eyes were already used to the darkness. "Now let's see where you lead. Can't be any worse than where I am now." 

Ah Chun stepped forward and walked right into the tunnel. The tunnel was very dimly lit by the glow stones embedded into the tunnel wall sides. Ah Chun even took a sharp rock and dug one out of the wall to use a torch. Ah Chun could tell that this tunnel went on for a while. Each step she took was very careful. She did not want to step on any part of the floor that looked as if it was covered in shadow but in truth was actually a hole in the tunnel floor. Such little mistakes could instantly get her killed. Ah Chun continued on for quite some time. Until finally the tunnel opened up to a well lit room. 

"Is this… An Immortal cave?"
