Junior sister, I really need to control you

In an instant, a burning pain ten times more intense than that of the Blood Refining Pivot swept over his entire body.

Although I have spent five days and five nights refining the Nine Yang Spiritual Fire, the burning pain is not unbearable now.

But this is only the beginning of my training. Will it get more and more painful in the future?

Just as she was starting to have second thoughts, a cool sensation flowed into her Baihui acupoint on the top of her head, spreading throughout her body, and the burning pain immediately subsided.

It was my senior brother who put in the effort!

Mu Xiaoyu was overjoyed.

In her experience, the burning pain has now subsided to only 20-30%, making it easily bearable.

If you have your senior brothers helping you, it doesn't seem so hard to get through.

It seems that senior brother has a less painful way of cultivating.

Mu Xiaoyu's opinion of her senior brother changed slightly.

……

An hour later, as Mu Xiaoyu's Nine Yang Spiritual Flame receded, a fleeting look of bewilderment appeared in Li Yinsheng's eyes.

With the foundation of the Nine Yang Spirit Fire, he has already mastered the Earth Fire Tempering Technique and has just received ten years of cultivation.

The next step is minor success, which requires a hundred years of cultivation.

This step won't be difficult for my junior sister either. With the Nine Yang Spiritual Flame and the foundation of the True Blood Scripture, she should be able to complete it in about a month.

Once you've achieved a minor level of mastery, it's very difficult to quickly reach a higher level. Although the Nine Yang Spiritual Fire is powerful, it's not earth fire and can only replace some of its effects.

If we want my junior sister to quickly advance from the minor to the major stage of cultivation, we probably still need to find real earth fire.

However, after switching to earth fire, my junior sister's cultivation will probably not be as comfortable as it was when she used the already refined Nine Yang Spiritual Fire.

"Senior brother?" Mu Xiaoyu opened her eyes. "Does this mean I've entered the first stage of cultivation?"

She subconsciously looked down at her chest, and it seemed... there was no change?

Then she took out a bronze mirror and looked at herself from left to right, but there was no change in her face.

"What are you looking at?" Li Yinsheng tapped her head. "You've only just started, how much change can you expect?"

“Hmm…that’s true,” Mu Xiaoyu put away the bronze mirror, quite determined, “Then I’ll continue my cultivation!”

……

A month later.

In Mu Xiaoyu's bedroom.

As the fiery veil that had enveloped her dissipated, Mu Xiaoyu exhaled a long breath.

Li Yinsheng withdrew the water elemental energy that had enveloped her, and the dazed look in his eyes vanished in an instant.

Earth Fire Tempering Technique, Minor Success.

Mu Xiaoyu suddenly opened her eyes, her face initially blank, then revealing a hint of uncertain surprise.

She was still enveloped in burning pain when she first started cultivating, so she didn't pay much attention to her body.

As soon as she finished her cultivation, she immediately noticed that the clothes on her chest seemed a little tight.

She quickly looked down at her chest.

It seems there have indeed been changes?

Mu Xiaoyu tugged at a bit of her shirt at her chest and carefully felt it.

"I...I...I've grown bigger, Senior Brother!" She looked at Li Yinsheng, puffed out her chest excitedly, and blurted out.

Li Yinsheng glanced at it and shook his head with a sigh.

Your changes are nothing compared to the changes I've experienced after receiving a hundred years of cultivation.

Mu Xiaoyu, who was standing tall and proud in front of Li Yinsheng, had no idea what her senior brother was thinking.

Realizing what she had just said, her ears suddenly felt hot.

Wait... should I not have said that to my senior brother directly?

Shouldn't you say this to your mother? Or at least to Sister Shangguan, your martial uncle, or Elder Qin?

Talking about this with my senior brother... seems a bit strange?

She clutched her chest; this time, it wasn't that her clothes felt tight, but rather that her heart was racing.

"It seems that Junior Sister has already achieved minor success in the Earth Fire Tempering Technique," Li Yinsheng said with a smile, his expression unchanged. "However, you still need to continue to work hard."

"The changes brought about by this minor achievement are not significant enough. When you achieve a major achievement in the future, both your appearance and figure will be far improved compared to this one."

Mu Xiaoyu immediately forgot her shyness: "Will it be far better than this time? Will my appearance also improve?"

She could sense that the changes after Xiao Cheng seemed to be mainly in his physique, with very little change in his appearance.

"Did your senior brother ever lie to you about cultivation?" Li Yinsheng asked with a smile.

"I've never lied to you, but you often keep things from me!" Mu Xiaoyu puffed out her cheeks.

However, she still couldn't help but yearn for the effects of mastering the Earth Fire Tempering technique.

"After I achieve mastery, will I be as beautiful as Sister Shangguan?" she asked expectantly.

"Hmm..." Li Yinsheng stroked his chin. "Junior sister, you have great potential."

"Great!" Mu Xiaoyu cheered. "I'm determined to master it!"

Li Yinsheng nodded with satisfaction.

The changes brought about by mastering the Great Perfection technique are enormous. After all, once the Earth Fire Tempering Technique is mastered, it is comparable to that of a Grand True Person.

Now that he has achieved minor success in the Earth Fire Tempering Technique, he has the foundation to attempt to break through to the True Person realm.

However, he did not intend to let his junior sister break through directly, because he had personally proven that the higher one's cultivation level, the easier it is to break through.

If a cultivator fails to break through to the True Person realm, they will suffer a severe loss of vital energy.

Although the Earth Fire Tempering Technique is a cultivation method for refining the body of a human immortal, the success rate of breaking through to the True Person realm is not low, but there is no need to gamble on it.

Wouldn't it be better to break through naturally once you have enough cultivation, just like him?

……

About half a month later.

A streak of blazing white light pierced the sky.

Within the light of the meteorite escape, Shangguan Ling'er crossed her arms, her face beaming with pride.

During this seclusion, she has basically mastered the supernatural powers brought by the Yuan Meridian, and is confident that she can condense a top-grade Dharma Image.

Although Li Yinsheng achieved the title of "True Man" before her, she was only half a step away.

“I understand that you want to cause trouble for Shouyi Temple. After all, you are already an honorary elder and do need a target to establish your authority.”

"But do you really have to choose this time before we go to Zhelong Valley?" she asked Li Yinsheng. "Can't we go after we come back?"

I definitely can't go back. I need to preserve my 170 years of cultivation at the temple.

Li Yinsheng thought to himself.

With the opening of Hidden Dragon Valley, several sects around it will send their appointed True Persons to enter. Hidden Dragon Valley itself also contains miasma beasts comparable to demon kings.

Although he considered himself to be no weaker among those with the title of "True Man," he was not confident enough to be able to dominate the battlefield.

Being able to increase one's cultivation level before entering is a form of extra protection.

Moreover, after he began cultivating the wrathful poison, he received two eighty-year cultivation periods, one ten-year cultivation period, and one hundred-year cultivation period.

With this additional 170 years, he now has a total of 440 years of cultivation, and the killing techniques brought by the Angry Poison are basically complete.

Therefore, whether the trip to Zhelong Valley will be more successful is secondary.

The key is that if he has to resort to ruthless killings of people from other sects, he also has the option of framing the Five Poisons Sect.

Of course, he couldn't explain this to Shangguan Ling'er.

Therefore, after a moment's thought, he spoke.

"Actually, going to guard the temple is only a secondary matter. The main thing is that I miss my martial uncle."

“I have been away from Xuanzhen Temple for more than three months. The opening of Zhelong Valley will also last for three months. If I wait until I come out to go back to see my master, it will be more than half a year.”

"Therefore, I thought I should see my martial aunt before going to Zhelong Valley, so as not to worry her too much."

Upon hearing this reason, Shangguan Ling'er immediately nodded: "I see, then it's not surprising."

"Now that you mention it, I'm starting to miss Ningzhi too. Luckily, I came with you this time, so I can catch up with her."

Mu Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, "I miss my martial uncle too."

"After we've had a chat with the fellow Daoists at Shouyi Temple, we'll head back," Li Yinsheng said.

……

Watch the sky above.

The blazing white light stopped in mid-air, and Mu Xiaoyu looked down at the Taoist temple below.

Wow, what a huge Taoist temple!

Despite saying this, her tone was quite calm, after all, she had already seen the Zhengyang Palace in the Dharma lineage and had also lived on Wuxia Peak for a period of time.

The main reason for this feeling is that Shouyi Temple, a large temple with over a thousand disciples, has indeed expanded significantly, almost filling the entire mountaintop.

However, in terms of architectural magnificence, it naturally cannot compare with the Famai and Wuxia Peak.

Li Yinsheng and Shangguan Ling'er then unleashed their divine senses, scanning the entire Shouyi Temple without any hesitation or attempt to conceal anything.

Immediately, two powerful cultivators from Shouyi Temple, leading ten other cultivators, flew towards the two of them.

The two leading figures were an elderly man who looked to be nearing sixty, and a slightly younger man who looked to be around forty.

"This junior is a True Man of Shouyi Temple, whose Daoist name is Danzhuan. I greet Elder Li." The leading elder bowed and said.

The other eleven people also bowed in greeting.

He naturally already knew that Li Yinsheng had been granted the title of True Man and received the honorary title of Elder of the Dharma Lineage.
