Junior sister, I really need to control you.

Mu Xiaoyu was in her bedroom.

"Junior sister, please rest well. Senior brother will take his leave now." Li Yinsheng said, turning to leave.

"Senior brother..." Mu Xiaoyu peeked out from under the covers and said urgently, "Don't forget my mountain of snacks... no, my talisman money!"

"Don't worry, I remember. You'll get your share."

Li Yinsheng stepped out of the doorway and waved to close it. Before the door closed, dozens of talisman coins of varying values ​​flew in through the crack and flew to the table like swallows returning to their nests. They were neatly stacked on the table, totaling exactly ten thousand coins.

Looking at the mountain of snacks she had painstakingly earned over five hours, Mu Xiaoyu closed her eyes contentedly and drifted off to sleep peacefully.

Outside the door, Li Yinsheng, who had just taken two steps, heard the familiar, resounding sound that evoked both love and hate in his ears again, and the golden characters unfolded before his eyes.

Lord of the Cave Heaven: Mu Xiaoyu

The Aspiration for Spiritual Practice: The four essentials of spiritual practice are "Dharma, Wealth, Companion, and Place," with "Wealth" being of paramount importance! However, as the saying goes…

Cultivation Rewards:

Received 1,000 talisman coins, rewarded with one year of cultivation; (Completed)

You have received 3,000 talisman coins and a reward of three years of cultivation. (Completed)

Received 10,000 talismans, rewarded with ten years of cultivation; (Completed)

Receive 30,000 talisman coins and a reward of 20 years of cultivation;

Receive 100,000 talisman coins and be rewarded with 30 years of cultivation.

Receive 300,000 talisman coins and a reward of 50 years of cultivation.

Current savings in talisman coins: 10,100 coins

As the character "金" changed, Li Yinsheng's vision shifted, and he found himself once again standing on the white jade platform in the center of the lake.

Everything was so familiar. The full moon still hung in the sky, the moonlight was still clear, the lake was still rippling, and lotus flowers and leaves swayed and grew under the moonlight.

He had just been in this wretched place for who knows how many years yesterday!

Although the cultivation he achieved through tireless practice was equivalent to thirty years' worth of cultivation, it was still an extremely long period of time, far from actually taking thirty years.

"What kind of idiotic cheat is this? It doesn't even have the function of deciding when to claim rewards..."

Looking at the golden words on the white jade platform before him, "[The Lord of the Grotto-Heaven has accumulated a certain amount of talisman money, and has partially achieved his cultivation goals. This time, he is rewarded with fourteen years of cultivation. Please cultivate and claim it yourself]," Li Yinsheng gritted his teeth and sat down cross-legged.

He had anticipated this outcome before giving his junior sister the money, but he desperately needed to improve his cultivation, so he had no choice but to return to this godforsaken place to continue his training.

My current cultivation level is still insufficient. Whether it's achieving a grade B or higher in the Dao Examination or obtaining 300,000 talisman coins within a year, I'm still far from it.

"Try to look on the bright side..." Li Yinsheng looked up at the moon, his gaze empty, trying to comfort himself, muttering to himself.

"Last time it was thirty years, this time it's fourteen years, this time the sentence is less than half of last time... Haha... Hahahaha... Hahahaha..."

……

As dawn broke, in a corner of Xuanzhen Temple, in front of Uncle Jiang's room.

Li Yinsheng raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in, junior apprentice."

Li Yinsheng pushed open the door and entered. The woman on the soft couch inside was only wearing a plain white dress and holding a book in her hands. She was still pale, but her eyes were still bright and alert.

Although she is now more frail than an ordinary person, she is still a former immortal and retains a certain otherworldly air.

"Come sit down," she said, placing the book face down on the inside of the couch and patting the empty space beside it. "You always have to tell me before you come over. Why be so polite?"

Li Yinsheng sat down beside the soft couch and said sincerely, "Uncle-Master, I'm actually more comfortable sitting in a chair, since chairs have backrests."

Uncle Jiang rolled his eyes at him, didn't respond, but simply stretched out his wrist: "It's time for recuperation again. My sickly body will have to trouble you again, nephew."

Li Yinsheng placed his hand on her wrist, and his powerful magic flowed into her meridians.

Not only has Uncle Jiang's cultivation been completely destroyed, but he also suffers from many hidden injuries and old ailments, presenting him with numerous problems.

For example, if one cannot retain qi and blood, one will be weak all day long; and if one's vital energy is shallow, one will suffer from insomnia and excessive dreaming...

Therefore, he would regularly use his magic to help his uncle nourish his body. Although it was difficult to cure him, at least it would prevent his uncle's condition from worsening.

"Hmm..." Uncle Jiang lay half-reclined on the soft couch and hummed softly, "It seems that my cultivation has improved again, and my magic power is also... becoming more and more refined."

Li Yinsheng did not answer, focusing instead on helping her with gentle care and conditioning.

Her martial aunt's meridians were completely destroyed, and her ability to withstand pain was extremely poor. Therefore, Li Yinsheng would only use a small amount of magic power each time he nurtured her body.

Otherwise, she should have been able to realize that Li Yinsheng's magical power was not just refined.

He now possesses a cultivation level of sixty-four years, and his magical power is several times stronger than before!

However, what frustrated Li Yinsheng was that even though he gained another fourteen years of cultivation last night, his Qingxuan True Scripture was still stuck at the eighth level, only very close to the ninth level.

Thirty years of cultivation can raise the Qingxuan True Scripture from the fifth level to the eighth level in one go, but once it reaches the eighth level, fourteen years of cultivation is not enough to raise it by one level.

Although he knew that the technique was easy at first but difficult later on, he really didn't expect it to be this difficult.

In light of this, his previous prediction that the tenth level of the Qingxuan True Scripture could earn him a second-class ranking in the Zhengyang Dao Examination and make him the abbot might have been too conservative. Perhaps simply cultivating the ninth level to a high level would have been sufficient.

However, despite his cultivation level, his spells were merely a few ordinary spells he had practiced over the years.

Therefore, he probably really needs to cultivate to the tenth level, or even higher, to make up for the gap in magic between himself and his opponent.

However, on the other hand, although the Qingxuan True Scripture is difficult to practice, every three levels it breaks through will add a few more divine elements, far surpassing ordinary techniques that can only accumulate magical power.

For example, when you reach the third level of the Qingxuan True Scripture, your meridians and dantian will expand, making your magical power more enduring and profound, at least 30% stronger than cultivators of the same level.

After reaching the sixth level of the Qingxuan True Scripture, one's magical power deepens once again, and a qualitative change occurs, spontaneously generating a pure and spiritual energy.

This pure and spiritual energy can not only clear the mind and resist illusions, but also has a remarkable effect in suppressing evil spirits.

Even without facing evil spirits, simply adding pure spiritual energy during the casting of a spell will greatly increase its power.

After reaching the eighth level in one go, Li Yinsheng naturally gained a surge of pure spiritual energy within his body.

He tried adding a little bit of his own energy when using his magic to manipulate objects and his fire-making techniques, and the power immediately doubled.

However, this pure spiritual energy is different from magical power; it is not abundant and recovers quite slowly, so ordinary people do not use it casually.

According to Li Yinsheng's own estimate, once the spiritual energy is exhausted, it will take one or two years to fully recover.

The extraordinary aspect of the ninth level of the Pure Profound Scripture, which he had not yet reached, was that it could sublimate that pure spiritual energy once again, solidifying it into a power called "Pure Profound Divine Light".

Not only will its previous miraculous effects be further enhanced, but it will also have many other wonderful uses.

What Li Yinsheng values ​​most is that the Pure Profound Divine Light can cleanse and refine the bones and marrow of those with low aptitude!

Although its effect is barely better than nothing for people with average or below-average aptitude, it is of great significance for someone like my junior sister who has no aptitude.

Since we're already at a low point, no matter which way we go, it's all going upwards.

Junior Sister Mu only has two opportunities to participate in the Shaoyang Dao Examination: at the end of next year and four years from now.

If we want her to achieve a grade B or even grade A rating before the mission ends, we must seize every second and not let go of any opportunity to improve her cultivation and strength.
