My father is the main character, but the female leads want to kill me.

Upon smelling the fragrance of the pill, Lin Ran knew it was no ordinary pill. Connecting this to Wen Qianyi's identity as another sixth-level alchemist, Lin Ran stared wide-eyed at Wen Qianyi in surprise, asking, "You didn't give me a sixth-level pill, did you?"

“A Nirvana Pill, if you’re lucky, can boost your Nirvana Realm strength by two stars at once. Each person can only take it twice in their lifetime. Since I happened to have the corresponding medicinal materials, I made it. I don’t know if you’ll like it!” Wen Qianyi said shyly, her head lowered.

She knew she had acted a bit presumptuously, because she had promised Lin Ran that Lin Ran could choose three sixth-tier pills, not that she would customize them. If Lin Ran didn't like them, she... she didn't know how she would react... she might be unhappy...

Chapter 111 How to Use the Nirvana Pill

The refining of Nirvana Pills is not as simple as Wen Qianyi made it out to be.

Although Lin Ran didn't know much about pills, she didn't really think that refining pills was an easy task.

Nirvana Pill is one of the most difficult pills to refine among sixth-grade pills, with a very low success rate. Moreover, judging from its rich aroma, Lin Ran dared to say that it was definitely a Nirvana Pill of very high quality.

What was unexpected was that Wen Qianyi had quietly refined the Nirvana Pill. He hadn't urged Wen Qianyi since he arrived at the academy, and hadn't even asked her to refine any particular pill.

However, Wen Qianyi had already refined a sixth-grade pill herself, the Nirvana Pill, which was extremely precious and would be fought over fiercely if it were outside.

This girl is so honest!

Seeing Lin Ran staring blankly at the Nirvana Pill, Wen Qianyi assumed that Lin Ran disliked her presumptuous behavior. The radiance on her face dimmed slightly, but she forced a smile and said, "Then let's not count this as one of the three chances. Consider it a personal bonus for you!"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran was taken aback. Why did he suddenly say such a thing? Even if he wasn't a good person, he couldn't just go against his conscience and agree to Wen Qianyi's foolish words.

"no!"

Lin Ran suddenly stood up and slammed her hand on the table, rejecting Wen Qianyi's proposal. This startled Wen Qianyi, who looked at Lin Ran with a timid expression, like a frightened little rabbit.

Lin Ran continued, "I really like this Nirvana Pill. Even among those three sixth-tier pills, I only have two chances left. You silly girl can't even do the math."

"what?!"

Wen Qianyi stared blankly at Lin Ran with her red lips slightly parted. Lin Ran was immediately charmed by Wen Qianyi's slightly dazed and cute demeanor.

"You're so naive, be careful you don't get scammed. I still have two more chances with you. I'll tell you what pills to refine when I need them. Stop wasting your time!"

"And those tasks at the academy, they should have been given to you by your sister. Be smart and don't..." Lin Ran earnestly advised.

Wen Qianyi sat quietly, listening to Lin Ran's advice. Even though it was all preachy talk, she didn't find it annoying; in fact, she hoped Lin Ran would bother her more. This feeling of being cared for...it was quite nice...

"Senior...how about we continue our dual cultivation tonight? I...I mean, let's cultivate together, and you can refine this Nirvana Pill while you're at it!"

Wen Qianyi took a deep breath, a faint blush rising to her face. She forced herself to remain calm as she finished speaking, then wished she could disappear into the ground. She could feel her ears burning hot; how could she have said such embarrassing words?

Lin Ran was taken aback by Wen Qianyi's words. After a moment, she smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, but what about your sister..."

“She’s been very busy lately. It seems she went to the outer courtyard to discuss the secret realm with Sister Qiu…” Wen Qianyi said obediently.

"The same place tonight?"

"it is good!"

The two of them finalized their plans for tonight's dual cultivation, perfectly in sync...

……

That evening, Wen Qianyi sat alone in front of her dressing table in her room. Looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but touch her slightly pale lips, thinking to herself, "Wouldn't it look better if they were a little rosier?"

Suddenly remembering the rouge on my dressing table that I hadn't used in a long time, I rummaged around for a while and found a few small boxes.

She opened one of the boxes, dipped her finger in some rouge, looked in the mirror, and gently applied it to her lips. Seeing her own rosy lips and white teeth in the mirror, a soft smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

Just as she was about to stand up to go to her appointment, Wen Qianyi saw a small box in the drawer she had opened. She remembered that there was a small sachet inside, which the students had bought for her when they went on a trip. They said it would smell nice if she wore it.

As if possessed, Wen Qianyi opened the box, and a rich fragrance wafted into her nostrils. She thought to herself, "So fragrant!"

She frowned and looked closely. When she saw that it was embroidered with delicate patterns and auspicious designs, she was delighted. This sachet was indeed beautiful.

After thinking about it, Wen Qianyi decided to tie it around her waist. Even if she only wore it for a short while, it would still leave a good impression on her senior.

Take one last look at yourself in the mirror, then leave the room with light steps, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards the Ice Spirit Jade Lake.

Wen Qianyi slipped into the back mountain of the academy and, by the light of the moon shining down from the sky, saw Lin Ran standing in front of the stone gate. She gently landed in front of Lin Ran.

Wen Qianyi put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, smiled, and looked at Lin Ran with bright eyes, saying, "Have you been waiting long?"

"That's not true!"

Lin Ran spoke truthfully. He had only been there a short time. The moonlight was exceptionally bright tonight, and the girl standing in front of him looked incredibly pure and beautiful under the moonlight. Moreover, the girl seemed to be surrounded by a faint fragrance, and her lips were particularly alluring. Lin Ran felt a little itchy and tempted.

Lin Ran quickly shook her head and said, "Let's hurry inside and start cultivating. Spring... ugh, every moment of cultivation is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"

Seeing that she had almost said something inappropriate, Lin Ran took a special look at Wen Qianyi's expression. After finding that there was no significant change, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“That’s true. There shouldn’t be a saying like ‘a moment of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold’ in the fantasy world, right…” Lin Ran felt relieved. Otherwise, if she had been driving in that atmosphere just now, they might have made an irreparable mistake if their emotions had gotten the better of them.

Lin Ran walked ahead in the dark passageway, while Wen Qianyi followed behind. If there had been light, you could have seen large patches of pink on Wen Qianyi's fair skin. Lin Ran's words had reminded her of a line from an ancient book describing an improper scene.

"Worth a fortune... a night of passion... how could you, senior..."

These words stirred up ripples in Wen Qianyi's already turbulent heart...

After many days, the two returned to the Ice Spirit Jade Lake. Although they had been apart for a long time, they hadn't forgotten the same routine they had followed before.

Lin Ran inexplicably broke through to the fourth level of the Nirvana Realm some time ago, and the breakthrough process was quite embarrassing. She was having a dream, which gradually became indescribable, and then she made a desperate effort... and then she reached the fourth level of the Nirvana Realm...

The process of this breakthrough was so bizarre and embarrassing that it has become one of the secrets that Lin Ran would never reveal, even if it meant death.

Today, Lin Ran was thinking about taking the Nirvana Pill to see if she could break through to the sixth star of the Nirvana Realm in one fell swoop. Although the probability of breaking through two stars in a row by taking the Nirvana Pill was a bit like buying a lottery ticket, she still had to have hope. As long as she hadn't started, she still had a chance!

The two arrived at the group of stone pillars where they usually cultivated. Lin Ran looked down at the lake surface shrouded in cold mist, the biting cold constantly eroding the protective shield.

"This Ice Spirit Jade Lake is still the same as before, cold and lifeless!" Lin Ran couldn't help but say.

Wen Qianyi nodded, then, remembering something, asked curiously, "Senior, are you going to take the Nirvana Pill today to break through your cultivation level?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Lin Ran asked curiously.

After a long pause, Wen Qianyi said, "I have a method that might increase the probability of Nirvana Pill breaking through to two stars in one go. I saw it in an ancient book. Would you like to try it, senior?"

"Ah, there's such an amazing method! How did you do that?" Lin Ran was overjoyed to hear Wen Qianyi's words. She excitedly grabbed Wen Qianyi's hand and asked.

If this really succeeds, it will be a Nirvana Realm Six-Star!

Wen Qianyi felt the warmth coming from her hands. She looked down and saw that her fair and slender hands were completely enveloped by Lin Ran's large hands. Wen Qianyi did not feel disgusted by this special feeling.

"This method involves stimulating acupoints and then continuously compressing the medicinal properties..."

Wen Qianyi recalled the words from the ancient book and explained them to Lin Ran in the simplest terms possible. Although Lin Ran was a little confused, she at least understood one point and said, "So, in other words, we maintain a dual cultivation state, and instead of rushing to absorb the medicinal power, we continuously compress the medicinal power, and then integrate the energy you transmit into that compressed medicinal power, and then break through to the second star in one fell swoop, is that right?"

Wen Qianyi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Senior is very clever. That's exactly it. However, this requires extremely strong soul power to control that medicinal power. Moreover, I will stimulate Senior's acupoints so that Senior can unleash the potential within the body in a short period of time and then break through to the sixth level of Nirvana Realm in one fell swoop!"

"Stimulating acupoints?!"

Lin Ran's expression froze, and she asked cautiously, "What kind of stimulation is needed to stimulate these acupoints?"

"I will use my Azure Dragon Heavenly Flame to condense into fine needles to stimulate the acupoints in your body in stages. My fire control skills are very powerful, so there will be no problem at all. Please rest assured, senior!" Wen Qianyi explained softly.

The naive Wen Qianyi didn't think of any other issues. She assumed that Lin Ran was worried about her technique and feared that a mistake could lead to her life being in danger, so she tried her best to explain.

Seeing Wen Qianyi's reaction, Lin Ran didn't know what to say. She scratched her head awkwardly and said, "I... I'll prepare next time. Qianyi, you can just come down and tell me what to do!"

After Lin Ran left, it took Wen Qianyi some time to belatedly realize a problem, a very important problem: their dual cultivation was supposed to involve "disarming," but they had been keeping their eyes closed all along.

But this time the situation was different. She had to precisely and periodically stimulate Lin Ran's specific acupoints. If she remembered correctly, some acupoints were very sensitive and were mostly concentrated slightly below the dantian. She also had to open her eyes, find those acupoints, and stimulate them according to the techniques in the ancient books.

"Doesn't this mean I'll see my senior...?"

Wen Qianyi then realized the importance of the problem. She felt her pretty face was even redder and hotter than before, and her head felt like it was about to smoke.

Even though the temperature at Ice Spirit Jade Lake was bone-chillingly cold, it couldn't cool down Wen Qianyi's almost burning brain.

"What should we do?!"

……

Chapter 112 How Long Does It Take to Go from Joy to Horror?

In the Ice Spirit Jade Lake, Lin Ran sat cross-legged on a stone pillar, supporting a protective shield, constantly circulating her spiritual power to resist the cold air that was eroding her body and expel it from her body.

"When is Qianyi going to start? If she doesn't start soon, I'm going to freeze to death here!" Lin Ran cried out in her heart.

Even if he is in the Nirvana Realm, it doesn't mean he can "disarm" himself and soak in the water in the middle of this Ice Spirit Jade Lake, then sit cross-legged as if nothing happened.

Although his cultivation level was higher than Wen Qianyi's, she had Heavenly Fire, which allowed her to move freely around, so he relied on that strength to withstand her attacks.

Lin Ran thought the silence would last for a while, but suddenly there was a loud "plop" and the sound of water falling into the water was amplified in her ears. Then, she heard Wen Qianyi's soft voice coming from ahead, and a fragrance seemed to waft over.

"Senior, I... I'm going to stimulate your acupoints now to unleash your potential. This will involve two acupuncture sessions, and the acupuncture points might be quite private. Please keep your eyes closed no matter what happens, okay?"

"..."

Lin Ran was stunned when he heard Wen Qianyi's explanation. He could guess what was going to happen next just by thinking about it. This was too embarrassing!

This is no less stressful than going to the doctor, especially if the doctor is a close friend. You not only have to explain your symptoms to her, but you also have to have her examine you. Even though you know it's a very serious matter, it's still...

Oh my God, nothing could be worse!

After a moment of silence, Lin Ran finally couldn't resist the temptation of increasing her strength. So what if it's embarrassing? It can increase her strength by two stars!

"it is good!"

Lin Ran nodded in agreement, gradually relaxing her mind and body, trying her best not to worry about it, so as to avoid any embarrassing situations.

Next, it was Wen Qianyi's turn.

Wen Qianyi hid in the dark blue lake water, her eyes, burning with cyan flames, were fixed on Lin Ran's tightly closed eyes.

After a while, when she was sure that Lin Ran really wouldn't open her eyes, Wen Qianyi felt a little more relaxed. She kept her eyes tightly closed and began to recall the acupoint diagrams recorded in ancient books.

After a moment, Wen Qianyi opened her eyes and saw Lin Ran's body buried at the bottom of the water. A faint blush rose on her face. After taking a deep breath and mentally preparing herself, Wen Qianyi "plop" and dived into the water.

In the dark depths of the water, the girl witnessed a scene she would likely never forget. A mix of shyness and fear mingled with a touch of curiosity, for this was knowledge that could never be found in books…

After closing his eyes, his other senses became incredibly acute. Hearing the sound of someone entering the water, Lin Ran instinctively sensed someone's gaze and felt a chill run down his spine. His spiritual power told him that a beautiful young woman was diving underwater, watching him…
