What?! All the fairies I topped up have come true?

[Wolf Demon Inner Core: Can extend a mortal's lifespan by one hundred years.]

Lin Xiao stared intently at the inner core glowing with a bluish light on his phone screen, his breathing becoming rapid.

Extend lifespan! These four words struck him like a thunderbolt, shaking his mind and even fading much of the fear he had felt from being terrified by the monster.

He glanced under the table, where the diagnosis of cancer was hidden, along with the doctor's pronouncement that he had "at most three months left."

These days he seems to have taken life and death lightly, but his will to survive has never been extinguished, otherwise he would not have had any illusions about the Huayang Acupuncture Technique.

Unfortunately, Huayang acupuncture is useless for ordinary people.

Now that this wolf demon's inner core is right in front of him, even if it's only at the Qi Refining Realm level and can only extend his lifespan by a little, it's still a life-saving treasure for him.

Seeing Lin Qishuang resting her chin on her hand with a look of regret, Lin Xiao wished he could jump into the screen and snatch the inner core.

His fingers flew across the screen, as if he wanted to type a reminder, but then he suddenly stopped.

He's currently acting like a "senior," so it would be beneath him to ask for a Qi Refining Pill.

Wouldn't that make me, this "expert," look too shabby?

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Xiao suppressed the urge to ask for it directly and instead typed a line of text in a pretentious manner.

"Although this inner core is of low grade, it is not entirely useless. Keeping it may solve a temporary problem."

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Qishuang on the screen immediately brightened up, straightened up, and bowed to the air, saying, "Senior is absolutely right! This junior will keep it safe."

She carefully closed the jade box and placed it in her personal storage bag, her expression respectful and grateful.

In her opinion, since the senior had given special advice, it must be because the inner core had some wonderful uses that she had not yet noticed, so she naturally dared not be negligent any longer.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth as he watched this scene.

I originally thought the other person would understand what I was saying and would just give it to me directly.

Now, things have turned out quite differently; it's like a clever trick backfiring.

Well, the situation is still uncertain.

I can only wait until the next time I enter the dream to try and get the wolf demon's inner core from Lin Qishuang again.

But then Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little worried again.

I'm just an ordinary person with no strength to even kill a chicken. What if I encounter a monster again next time I go in?

We can't always rely on Lin Qishuang to appear in time to save the day.

He looked down at the stone he was clutching in his hand. It was a token he had brought back from the Cangxuan Realm. It had a rough texture and was completely different from the stones in the real world.

"If we can bring things back, maybe we can bring them over too?" Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had an idea.

He got up, rummaged through the drawer and found a fruit knife. Then he found a sturdy canvas bag and stuffed the fruit knife, a lighter, and even a few packets of compressed biscuits into it.

Finally, his gaze inadvertently swept over the Thunder Talisman that he had been carelessly leaving lying around.

He had tried it once in the real world before, but it was unsuccessful.

I wonder if this Thunder Talisman would be effective in the game world?

Regardless, Lin Xiao eventually hid all three Thunder Talismans close to his body.

"Next time I go in, I'll find a safe place to hide first, and then try to get the inner core from Lin Qishuang." Lin Xiao patted the canvas bag, feeling a little more at ease.

Although these mundane tools may be insignificant in the eyes of cultivators, they are still better than being empty-handed, at least they can give them some psychological comfort.

After doing all this, Lin Xiao sat back on the bed, her gaze returning to her phone screen.

At this moment, on the phone screen, Lin Qishuang, who had received guidance from Lin Xiao, was carefully re-examining the other items on the table.

"If such a highly accomplished person as my predecessor cherishes these things so much, how can I possibly have the right to waste them?"

With this in mind, Lin Qishuang quickly put away all the things she had originally planned to throw away.

Watching Lin Qishuang pack her things, Lin Xiao couldn't help but nod slightly.

If I could find a way to bring these things into the real world, they would be extremely valuable.

However, to ensure safety during the dream process, one needs to find a powerful backer.

After thinking about what happened after entering the dream, Lin Xiao decided to first inform Lin Qishuang.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao typed, "When you went out to kill the wolf demon today, did you encounter a young man?"

"Ah, how did you know, senior?"

Lin Qishuang, who was tidying up her things, suddenly stopped upon hearing this question and looked up at the emptiness above the roof with a surprised expression.

However, Lin Qishuang quickly realized what was happening.

I know it must be my senior who has been worried about me and has been taking care of me in secret.

Thinking of this, Lin Qishuang felt another wave of self-pity.

[Ding: Lin Qishuang's favorability towards you has increased by 1 point, currently at 80.]

Note: Lin Qishuang's inner demons have not been completely eliminated, so her favorability rating cannot be increased temporarily!

"???"

Lin Xiao was somewhat puzzled, wondering why his simple statement had produced such an effect.

However, he still took the fact that Lin Qishuang's favorability rating had stopped increasing somewhat seriously.

It seems we need to help Lin Qishuang overcome her inner demons as soon as possible.

Of course, these are all things that happened later.

The most urgent task is to find a reliable support for my next dream.

"Are you referring to the hunter I saved, senior?"

Seeing Lin Qishuang's curious expression, Lin Xiao thought for a moment and typed:

"Indeed, it is that young hunter. I have some connection with him. If you have the chance, you may look after him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qishuang nodded repeatedly and said, "Oh, I see. If we meet again, I will certainly take good care of you."

After a moment's thought, Lin Xiao typed again: "Very good. This lad has considerable talent. I intend to take him as my disciple. Could you test him for me and see if he has the aptitude for cultivation?"

"Ah, senior, you intend to take that young man as your disciple?"

At this moment, Lin Qishuang felt a pang of jealousy.

In her mind, a highly accomplished person like her senior, who was rarely seen, was always a loner.

It never gets involved in the mundane world.

This is also why she has never taken the initiative to ask to become an apprentice.

I never expected that this senior master would actually be preparing to take on disciples.

Thinking of this, Lin Qishuang quickly looked up and said, "Senior, may I have the honor of becoming your disciple?"
