Ling Meiyu sat cross-legged in her cultivation chamber, her eyes closed in deep concentration.
The faint glow of Qi surrounded her, pulsing in a rhythmic dance as she absorbed the spiritual energy around her.
Her brows were furrowed in focus, her breathing slow and steady. She was nearing a breakthrough, feeling the barrier to the next stage of her cultivation trembling before her.
CREAK!
Suddenly, the door to her chamber slid open with a soft creak. The delicate balance she had been maintaining was broken, and the flow of Qi around her was disrupted.
Ling Meiyu's eyes snapped open, and her focus shattered. She exhaled sharply, irritation flashing across her face.
( Who is disturbing my cultivation? )
She thought. She had specifically mentioned to everyone to not disturb her these days as she was preparing to advance to the next stage.
