After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

Two weeks later, you stood before the courtyard gate, your gaze fixed on Lin Bufan's receding figure, your eyes filled with lingering reluctance.

Oh, my love ATM!

Feeling the mist of emotion within your inner world, a touch of melancholy welled up in your heart. When will you finally reach the Heavenly Spiritual Root?

"You're reluctant to part with it?"

A cool, clear voice came from beside you. You turned your head slightly, and Miao Qianqian had quietly appeared behind you without you even noticing.

You lowered your eyes, your long eyelashes concealing the emotions within, and remained silent.

Seeing your heartbroken appearance, the girl felt a pang of guilt, after all, from her perspective, she was the one who forced you to separate.

"Give me the Butterfly Mother's Golden Token, and I will bring you the Gu worms in seven days."

Upon hearing this, you pursed your red lips, handed over the golden token, and then cautiously asked:

"Was this token used to exchange for the Gu worms?"

"That's right."

Miao Qianqian took the token, examined it briefly, and then put it away.

"Can I exchange them for two?"

【"Can."】

Miao Qianqian nodded casually, her mind filled with thoughts of how long the two of them could remain affectionate after she separated them.

Before she could even finish thinking about it, she seemed to belatedly realize what you had just said. She turned her head sharply, her clear eyes wide with astonishment as she stared at you.

"What are you talking about???"

You smiled shyly and took out another identical token from your storage space...

Because of Miao Qianqian, you have become a special member of the Miao family.

Not only were you allocated a cave dwelling with a very high concentration of spiritual energy, but you also received a considerable amount of offerings each year. Therefore, you completely suppressed your many chaotic thoughts and began a deep period of seclusion.

Time flows like water, rushing to the sea never to return...

On this day, you sat cross-legged in your cave, your aura fluctuating in strength, and points of spiritual light around you flickering uncertainly.

[Once the last trace of spiritual energy has completed its grand cycle through your meridians, a barely perceptible hum suddenly resounds within your inner world, and a powerful aura flashes and disappears from your body.]

You slowly opened your eyes, your pupils seemingly swirling with countless lights, which suddenly burst forth with a captivating spiritual light amidst the flickering light.

Finally, it slowly converged towards the pupil, transforming into a golden halo that silently disappeared into the dark depths of the eye.

【"Phew~"

You exhaled a long breath, and your aura became refined and profound once more.

You look around and see the thick layer of dust covering the messy cave, as if it had been uninhabited for a long time, and you can't help but sigh softly.

"More than thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye, like a fleeting moment."

These thirty-odd years, passing in the blink of an eye, are but a brief period of seclusion for cultivators, yet for an ordinary person, they represent the prime of half a lifetime, from youth to old age.

But for you...

【Buzz~】

[Ripples of blue light spread out from your body, and the terrifying spiritual pressure, far exceeding that of the peak Foundation Establishment stage, seemed to solidify completely at this moment, transforming into an invisible hammer that slammed down in all directions.]

The thick layer of dust that had accumulated inside the cave for many years was instantly blown away by this shockwave, turning into a cloud of smoke and dust.

[The surrounding solid rock walls, under this invisible pressure, began to crack and fissure, like a spiderweb, with fragments of rock constantly falling down.]

[In these thirty-odd years, you not only broke through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, but also completed the first transformation of the Golden Core with the help of the Nine Revolutions Rejuvenating Gu.]

[I obtained the Core Formation technique from Miao Qianqian. At first, she didn't believe it, but under your overwhelming pressure as a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, the girl fell silent.]

The secret technique was delivered the next day, but from then on, he became reclusive, reportedly in seclusion for cultivation.

The so-called Core Formation Secret Technique is actually not some obscure and profound supreme method; it's just one of the most common secret techniques in the cultivation world.

[Of course, "commonplace" here refers to sects at level three and above; independent cultivators should be realistic.]

Its brilliance lies in its ability to allow cultivators to gradually dissipate their spiritual energy during the dissipation of their cultivation, much like peeling away layers of an onion, and this process can be completely controlled by the cultivator at will.

In other words, the function of this secret technique is that you can gradually change your spiritual energy, preventing you from becoming a useless entity devoid of spiritual energy due to the dissipation of your power.

You slowly suppressed your aura and looked inward, only to see that the two spirit gu within your inner world were on the verge of death.

The Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Gu can indeed help cultivators quickly dissipate their cultivation and regroup their spiritual power, but it also has its limits.

[Just feeding these two spirit insects has already exhausted most of your mental energy and spiritual power. Adding another one would probably backfire and affect your cultivation.]

[Furthermore, the reason you were able to complete a round of spiritual energy conversion so quickly is not only because you have two Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Gu, but also because you didn't consider their source energy consumption and forcibly activated them.]

This isn't about killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. This simulation is nearing its end, and these living beings are simply not meant to be brought back to the real world. It's better to let their usefulness burn out.

Thinking of this, you slowly stood up, calculating that you should have about three years left.

[Xiao Fanzi has disappeared somewhere, and hasn't come back even once in all these years.]

Ugh, what a jerk!

You sighed softly, as if your heart was broken.

The next moment, with a slight thought, a simple white dress flowed down like a cloud, completely concealing your alluring figure and adding a touch of aloofness.

You raised your slender finger and conjured a clear water mirror out of thin air.

The girl in the mirror remains unchanged, still as radiant and beautiful as ever; time seems to have left no trace on her face.

However, large patches of frost have quietly appeared in those once jet-black hairs. The black and white hair stands out even more in the mirror, but this scene does not diminish your beauty; instead, it adds a touch of mystery.

[You don't plan to use that Purple Spirit Green Pattern Fruit now, because your Qi and Blood Gu has already run out. You need a suitable time to maximize the effect of this spiritual fruit.]

【Liu Guanzhi...】

You dispersed the water mirror before you and came to the cave dwelling.

[“Boom!”]

With a dull creak of machinery, the stone door blocking the cave entrance slowly opened, and long-awaited light poured in through the crack. A ray of dazzling sunlight landed perfectly on your fingertips, bringing a touch of warmth.

It's time to go see him. Even if it's just to exchange this body for some useful information, it's an extremely worthwhile deal for you.

You silently watch the light gradually engulf the shadows within the cave, then calmly step out and reintegrate yourself into the bustling world...
