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

Seeing the huge tiger appear outside the courtyard in the game interface, Lin Xiao didn't hesitate this time and directly clicked to buy.

[Purchase successful. Thunder Talisman x10. Please click to use.]

Looking at the ten cards flashing with blue lightning displayed on his phone screen, Lin Xiao clicked to use them.

"Boom..."

As Lin Xiao clicked to use it, the originally clear sky suddenly became stormy, and a bolt of lightning swiftly fell.

The blow landed precisely on the giant tiger demon, producing a series of crackling sounds.

Just to be on the safe side, fearing that one rune wouldn't be enough, Lin Xiao pressed five or six more in one go.

Thick bolts of lightning rained down from the sky, striking the tiger demon with pinpoint accuracy.

"boom"

"boom"

"boom"

……

A series of booming sounds rang out and lingered for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, the roaring sound stopped, and the message finally appeared on the game interface.

[Congratulations on defeating the tiger demon! You have obtained a top-grade tiger demon inner core!]

"Tiger demon inner core? What is that?" Lin Xiao frowned. He hadn't expected that killing monsters in this game could drop equipment.

Hearing the commotion outside finally stop, Lin Qishuang carefully opened the door.

Then, she saw the huge tiger demon lying outside the courtyard, and her eyes widened suddenly.

"This is a powerful demon comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

Lin Qishuang's voice trembled uncontrollably, her bright eyes fixed on the tiger demon's corpse outside the courtyard, filled with shock and lingering fear.

She was once the number one person below the Golden Core stage in the Lingtian Sword Sect, and she personally killed quite a few demonic beasts.

Great demons capable of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage are extremely rare, even in dangerous places outside the sect.

I never expected to appear here, and to be so easily killed by my "senior".

She subconsciously looked up at the sky above the courtyard, her eyes filled with an overwhelming sense of awe.

She was grateful for the fact that her senior had casually conjured up a blessed land and abundant food, but she only regarded it as a small trick by her senior's profound cultivation.

But now, even Golden Core Realm experts find it difficult to control the Thunder Force, yet he can easily control it.

Easily annihilating a Foundation Establishment Realm demon—this level of strength has already exceeded her understanding of the limits of "strong individuals."

"Senior... Senior's divine might is beyond my comprehension!"

Lin Qishuang bowed deeply to the sky, her waist bent extremely low, and did not straighten up for a long time.

If it weren't for the senior's early warning and intervention to kill this tiger demon...

Given her current state of having her dantian completely destroyed and being devoid of any cultivation, she probably wouldn't even last a breath and would only become food for the tiger demon.

Watching her like this from outside the screen, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Although the Thunder Talisman cost 198 yuan, the scene of instantly killing the great demon was truly exhilarating to watch.

He scratched his head and typed a reply on the screen: "A few minor demons, not worth mentioning."

As soon as I sent the message, a new notification popped up on my phone screen, glowing with a faint golden light.

[Congratulations, host, for successfully protecting Lin Qishuang and obtaining the title of "Guardian"!]

Lin Qishuang's favorability rating has increased to 50!

Unlock new item interaction function: You can give monster materials to Lin Qishuang to help her recover or cultivate.

"Oh? You can even send items?"

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, and his attention immediately fell on the "top-grade tiger demon inner core" he had obtained earlier.

He clicked the Inner Elixir icon again, and a detailed introduction popped up.

[Supreme Tiger Demon Inner Core: Contains pure demonic power, which can be directly absorbed and refined, and has miraculous effects on restoring the dantian and rebuilding the foundation.]

"Holy crap, this thing works so well?" Lin Xiao's eyes widened, and he instantly perked up.

Lin Qishuang's biggest need was for an opportunity to restore her dantian and foundation, and this inner core was practically tailor-made for her!

He clicked the "Gift" button almost without hesitation.

A flash of light appeared on the game interface, and the inner core of the tiger demon's corpse outside the courtyard burst out and flew straight toward Lin Qishuang, who was standing at the door of the wooden house.

Lin Qishuang noticed the commotion and looked up.

But when she saw the inner core radiating pure spiritual power, her pupils suddenly contracted and her breathing became rapid.

"This...this is a tiger demon's inner core? And it's top-grade!"

She instinctively reached out her hand, and the inner elixir landed steadily in her palm.

A warm touch came, and pure demonic power seeped into her body through her palm, causing a faint warmth to rise from her originally depleted meridians.

Lin Qishuang had seen many rare and precious materials in her life, but she had never seen a monster's inner core of such perfect quality.

She knew very well that such an inner core was enough to make countless cultivators fight tooth and nail for it.

Even for a Golden Core cultivator, it is an extremely valuable treasure.

The senior just casually gave it to her like that?

"Senior, this...this is such a precious treasure, I absolutely dare not accept it!"

Lin Qishuang suddenly looked up, her tone urgent, wanting to return the inner core.

She's a useless person now, unworthy of such a treasure, and doesn't want to waste her senior's opportunity.

Looking at her red and anxious eyes, Lin Xiao felt a mix of amusement and sadness, and was also touched.

Even at this point, she's still thinking about not wanting the precious treasure; this girl is truly stubborn.

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Xiao replied again, "This pill is useless to me, but it will be of great use to you. Please accept it and refine it with peace of mind."

A short sentence, delivered with an unquestionable tone.

Lin Qishuang's hand holding the inner core trembled slightly. Looking up at the sky, her eyes finally welled up with tears.

From having his dantian destroyed and his sword heart dug out, to being betrayed and hunted down by his closest friends,

She had witnessed too much of the coldness and indifference of the world, and had long since lost faith in the existence of kindness.

This mysterious senior not only saved her from danger time and time again, but also gave her such a precious treasure. She had no way to repay this kindness.

"I have no way to repay your great kindness, senior!"

She bent her knees and knelt directly facing the sky, kowtowing three times heavily.

"If you ever need my assistance in the future, I will do my utmost, even if it means my own death!"

After all, this top-grade tiger demon inner core is a treasure that can allow him to embark on the path of cultivation again!

Such a great kindness is like being given a second life; how could she not be moved?

Seeing Lin Qishuang bowing directly to him, Lin Xiao felt a mix of emotions.

With the help of her benefactor, the girl in the game found hope in her life.

But what about myself? Who can become my benefactor?

Looking at the woman kneeling on the ground, Lin Xiao thought for a moment and replied again, "No need for formalities. Let's first try to see if this tiger demon's inner core is effective."

Having received a response, Lin Qishuang slowly raised her head and stood up, tightly gripping the tiger demon's golden core in her hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Yes, Senior, rest assured, I will not let you down. I will use this tiger demon's inner core."

After he finished speaking, there was no response.

Lin Qishuang then went back into the room and sat cross-legged on the bed.

After carefully examining the tiger demon's inner core, he resolutely swallowed it.
