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

When Lin Bufan opened his eyes, what greeted him was a picture of a beautiful woman reading a scroll.

[Dressed in simple blue, with a serene expression, she seemed like a figure from a painting.]

He stared at you, your demeanor drastically changed, for a long time, until you noticed his intense gaze, and then you looked up from your book.

"Brother Lin, you're awake?"

Hearing your slightly hoarse voice, Lin Bufan snapped out of his reverie. His eyes flickered, and he strode to your side, pulling you into his arms without a word.

You rolled your eyes inwardly. Why are these bastards always hugging and carrying each other like that?

"Why don't you rest a little longer?"

[Perhaps remembering how much he had gone wrong last night, his voice betrayed an undisguised guilt and self-reproach.]

"It's alright, I just want to start cultivating as soon as possible so I can help Brother Lin in the future."

[Your eyes are clear and bright, and your cool, aloof swordsman's attire, coupled with the blush on your cheeks, almost made Lin Bufan excited again.]

[Considering your health, he quickly suppressed his lustful thoughts and softly comforted you:]

"It's alright, I've already broken through to the second level of Qi Refining. I'll definitely be able to protect you from now on."

Your fake smile almost faltered.

[Who knows how difficult it is for you to break through a minor realm, but he, on the other hand, broke through from a mortal to the second level of Qi Refining in about a month.]

Oh, heavens, how unjust you are!

"Brother Lin, you're amazing!"

"Oh? What's so great about it?"

"You're so annoying~"

After the two of you joked around for a while, Lin Bufan's smile faded, and he said seriously:

"Qingyu, I need to leave the sect in a couple of days."

"Where are you going? Will it be dangerous?"

Right now, you look just like a young wife about to be abandoned, your eyes filled with helplessness and reluctance.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to look for an opportunity."

His eyes gently stroked your hair.

"Those secret techniques from last night were..."

At this point, Lin Bufan's expression stiffened, and you covered his mouth at just the right moment.

"Brother Lin, you don't need to tell me anything. As long as you have me in your heart, that's enough."

"Thank you, Qingyu."

"Why are you thanking me?"

Lin Bufan shook his head without speaking, only holding you tighter.

"I'll prepare the resources you need for cultivation over the next couple of days. Just stay in your cave and cultivate peacefully. Don't go out unnecessarily, understand?"

You didn't speak, but obediently nodded, your fingertips gripping his clothes tightly.

[At the same time, I secretly praised him, "The chosen one is truly amazing!"]

But then the atmosphere turned sour again; that bastard started getting restless again.

【Sigh~】

You sighed helplessly. Perhaps this is the price you have to pay to become stronger.

Three days later, Lin Bufan, like a well-fed puppy, happily walked out of the cave.

You lay limp on the bed, a few doubts creeping into your righteous path of cultivation.

A third of a second later, you banished that terrifying thought. The fault wasn't yours, but that of this dog-eat-dog world!

[After you opened the cave's protective barrier and circulated your spiritual energy throughout your body, your physical fatigue lessened considerably.]

Your gaze fell upon the stone table, which was piled high with resources.

Around a thousand spirit stones, and a considerable amount of various cultivation-aiding pills have also been prepared.

[That guy Hakifan!]

You were slightly moved, then sat cross-legged on the futon and began to try circulating the *Mysterious Heaven Sword Scripture*.

The cultivation techniques in this world do not have a clear hierarchy. Their effectiveness and power largely depend on the cultivator's aptitude, comprehension, and state of mind.

However, as the signature technique of a second-tier sect, the *Xuantian Sword Scripture* naturally has its unique aspects.

Their formidable combat prowess goes without saying. Furthermore, the most distinctive feature of their cultivation techniques is that they are easy to learn but difficult to master, which is why the Heavenly Profound Sword Sect attracts so many disciples.

Once the numbers increase, a few exceptional talents will naturally emerge.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, during which spirit stones were poured into filling the small spirit-gathering array inside the cave.

[On this day, you finally mastered the basics of the technique. Although your aura has changed somewhat, it is still dominated by the Joyful Union Technique.]

【breath...】

Suddenly, a thought struck you, and your gaze fell upon the term "transformation into dust." If you were to simply conceal the techniques of the Joyful Union Sect, wouldn't only the pure essence of the "Mysterious Heaven Sword Scripture" remain?

[With a thought, you acted. The subtle, alluring aura surrounding you vanished instantly, leaving only a sharp, chilling presence.]

[Success!]

"Okay, okay!"

[This way, I can perfectly conceal my identity when I'm stealing chickens, slaying demons, or exorcising monsters.]

After calming down, you carefully sensed your own internal energy.

[If we were to break it down in detail, you should have previously reached the late stage of the second level of Qi Refining, but now your total spiritual energy has decreased significantly, only reaching about the early stage of the second level of Qi Refining.]

This is likely why the spiritual energy quality of the "Mysterious Heaven Sword Scripture" is far superior to that of the "Thousand Threads of Love Technique".

[You tried circulating the "Thousand Threads of Love Technique" again and found that the total amount of spiritual energy had not increased, but it was much purer than before.]

[You know that good cultivation techniques can purify spiritual energy, so why didn't you revert back after switching techniques?]

[You've accumulated a considerable amount of knowledge during your twenty years at the Hehuan Sect, but this question is clearly beyond your scope, so you've decided to ignore it.]

[You've begun to fully utilize the "Mysterious Heaven Sword Scripture" for cultivation. With a sufficient supply of pills and spirit stones, your cultivation level is rapidly increasing.]

One year later.

[You, dressed in green, are sitting cross-legged inside the cave, surrounded by spirit stones. The spiritual energy concentration within the cave has reached an extremely high level.]

【"break!"】

When the time was right, you suddenly opened your eyes, and the surrounding spiritual energy responded, condensing into a small but rapid vortex that poured into your body from all directions.

Still feeling uneasy, you casually took out a blue pill and put it in your mouth.

This pill is called the "Minor Barrier-Breaking Pill," a top-grade elixir for Qi Refining cultivators to break through minor realms. It was exclusively sponsored by Fellow Daoist Su Yu of the Hehuan Sect.

The next moment, the already precarious bottleneck shattered under such a powerful impact!

Your aura surged dramatically, your spiritual energy boiled, and then returned to calm after a moment.

【"Phew~"

You exhale a long breath, feeling incredibly refreshed throughout your body.

[Qi Refinement Level 3 Complete!]
