7 To Live Well Tomorrow, You Need to Suffer Today

When they reached home, Zhi Rui left the woman to one of the maids and explained her to teach and take care of her because now she's her personal maid, then instructed for nobody disturb her. She will mourn at her quarters.

Zhi Rui turned to her brother stared into his eyes and said.

"I need a hundred crystal, can you give me?"

Zheng Li, as always just gave it to her. and went away without a word.

Zhi Rui ignored him and wrote a list of what to deliver for lunch and dinner through the week.

She handed it to the maid, took two bottles of wine and a piece of cheese while getting away to her room.

She wanted this time alone so she could study, and avoid having to act out remorse in front of other people. just thinking of dealing with the weeping of maids while acting mournful herself, Zhi Rui got shivers. As for what story her father told about Arthur's death, and what he'll request the emperor. She'll just ask her maid later.

the maids heard of the young lady taking two wine bottle to her room and

they couldn't help but lament, such a gentle and caring young lady shouldn't suffer like this. And even more, she shouldn't drink in suffering at such a tender age.

Zhi Rui went directly to her room and locked a door.

Once inside the privacy of her room, she let it out. Even though the old Zhi Rui kept her room simple and humble, it couldn't stop her joy, she jumped on every furniture on the room laughing in joy.

"What a time! what a good life! HAHA.A powerful dad to protect me, a caring and understanding elder brother. loyal and dedicated servants"

Zhi Rui looked at the sky outside the window

"I'll use and enjoy this.then I'll multiply my assets.I'll take the palace as my house. This country's people will be my servants. then plunge the light sect into nothingness and that'll be only the beginning. after all, life is meant to be lived, I cannot stay in this place forever."

"pffthuhehaHaHAHAHA!"Zhi Rui suddenly laughed hysterically.

After pouring out the feelings inside her, she slowly settled her breath.

She took the thin book for beginners in hands.

Zhi Rui made herself forgot every broken bit of information she had learned before, so she could better assimilate the full knowledge.

She opened the book cover. after two hours she finished it.

then went to the first page, gave it another slow attentive read.

Closing the book, she started processing all the information, filtering unimportant details she resumed it.

The first step: forming the inner core.

to form a core you have to gather enough heavenly energy to overwhelm the body, then you condense all the energy into your body while using your mental image to give form to your core,in the heart

the core is a vital part of yourself, but it's resistant, it heals itself as fast as your body does, it takes at least something two times stronger than oneself to destroy it.

the second step: is to evolve it.

the heavenly energy in you used to form a core condensed with the body as a whole, doubling the overall quality you had before forming a core.

If you were able to lift fifty kg before, then after, you're able to lift a hundred. Now you can refine materials inside the core to straighten the body and mind

Your talent for a cultivator is defined by how much you can manipulate your core. if you can feel the space inside and store and take out things. you're ordinary if you can also put your consciousness into it, you are talented, and in rare cases, if you can put living beings inside you're extremely talented.

but what truly matters it's what you can refine. Two people might have the same exact core and strength, but if one refined a beast core and obtained an ability then the other who don't will most likely die.

You can utilize an ability of a beast core at the cost of the beast core itself. Or you can refine the whole core into your own inner core, and get an innate ability permanently.

What they call specialization and path, is what you choose to refine into your core.

Zhi Rui opened her eyes. "For now, I don't need to know more."

She took her wine and cheese, went to the table beside the window opened the encyclopedia and dined in leisure.

----------

Throughout the week, Zhi Rui didn't leave her room once. Every time the kitchen delivered dinner or lunch, she would ask them to leave it on the door. Then picked it up later. She only ordered plentiful, tasty portions of food

Even Madam Xue who was mourning her husband's death felt better.

"This girl is finally eating well, you would feel good seeing this Arthur."

Madam Xue got red-eyed thinking to herself.

---------

The week was overZhi Rui closed the encyclopedia.

Zhi Rui sighed thinking about the core the old Zhi Rui formed.

Ordinary, nothing else but common. if she wants to get strong she'll have to nurture her inner core first.

The way for supremacy is ruthless, so, she has to be even more so.

She gathered all her crystals and scrunched her face.

while she got her allowance, it's still just a small amount of twenty common crystals per year. as she wasn't frugal her dad only gave this much. of course, her elder brother works in the front line and is gonna be the future family head. so he gets more.

the good news is that the old Zhi Rui only spend enough to buy some clothes and special herbs to eat.

Her total is two hundred and fifty common crystals.

She could buy some materials to start nurturing her inner core

but she has no way of getting another windfall, so instead of being impatient.

Zhi Rui decided to invest half crystals in a long-term business.

and the other half on a high-risk hight return.

She smiled, she already knows what to do.

Suddenly an image of light passed through her head.

"As for the light sect, maybe I don't need to wait long.

like the girl though, I can still enter as a common disciple in the next recruitment. Except my aim is to destroy them from the inside.

and as a general's daughter, I'll have the perk of going in and out as I want.

that'll allow me to manage my situation in both the country and the sect."

She thought to herself.

With all her plans in mind, Zhi Rui decided to put everything in motion.

She got out of her room.
