After avenging Liu Guanzhi, the two of you left the Youquan tribe directly.

He originally planned to proceed cautiously, accumulating Myriad Spirit Gu through sporadic raids, and then eliminating the "Gu God" in one fell swoop when the time was right, thus using this opportunity to break through to the Golden Core realm.

However, your appearance disrupted his plans, prompting him to decide to strategize again.

The most crucial element is the Qi and Blood Gu.

[In the last simulation, you lived among the Miao people for over thirty years, yet, as one of the most powerful forces in Chanming Prefecture, there wasn't a single record of this kind of Gu worm.]

[At the time, you guessed that this might be a special Gu worm that Liu Guanzhi obtained by chance, and that perhaps only he could refine it.]

[As it turns out, your guess was correct, yet the outcome exceeded your expectations.]

[Six months later.]

[In a secluded cave, you two have just finished clearing out a tribe and are resting temporarily.]

You leaned lazily against Liu Guanzhi's shoulder, looking at the few more Qi and Blood Gu he handed you, your curiosity no longer concealed.

"Old Liu, why can you refine other Gu worms in front of me, but you never allow me to watch the refining process of this Qi and Blood Gu?"

[Is this kid afraid I'll steal his skills?]

[But you immediately dismissed this idea. Leaving aside the extremely complex process of refining Gu worms, simply wanting to pursue the path of Gu cultivation requires planting a natal Gu within one's body at birth; otherwise, it will be very difficult to cross that threshold later.]

[Liu Guanzhi was silent for a moment, then reached out and took your restless fingers from his lapel, his tone as calm as ever:]

"It's nothing."

[Tsk~]

You inwardly scoffed, "So aloof, huh? But you have plenty of strength and methods to deal with this kind of aloof person."

"Tell me, tell me, Brother Liu~!"

You called out softly, pressed yourself against him, wrapped your arms around his neck, brushed your hair against his chin, and began to wriggle and entangle.

[Liu Guanzhi's breath hitched, the calm in his eyes shattered instantly, his gaze deepening. He gripped your waist, about to lower his head to find your lips, but you mischievously turned your head away.]

He paused, then chuckled inwardly, as if he could never do anything about this kind of thing.

【"Sigh~"】

Liu Guanzhi sighed softly, flicked his fingertips, and a white Gu worm floated in his palm.

Under your curious gaze, he forced out a drop of crimson blood, which slowly seeped into the white Gu worm's body. The originally snow-white Gu worm quickly turned a strange crimson, and its aura became indistinguishable from the blood-qi Gu you usually used.

You remained silent.

[In the last simulation, knowing full well that you weren't "her," you were still willing to expend your life essence to refine the Gu worms?]

Old Liu, you bastard!

I would call you the most affectionate person in the Nine Realms!

Seeing that you had fallen silent, Liu Guanzhi handed the Qi and Blood Gu in his hand to you and explained softly:

"My spiritual body is naturally different from ordinary people, so this deficiency of essence and blood is nothing. As long as I am nourished with enough Myriad Spirit Gu, I will recover completely. You don't need to worry about it."

"Old Liu, don't say anything more."

You raised your hand to cover his lips, quickly put away the Qi and Blood Gu, and tackled him to the ground.

[This young lady has nothing of value, so she can only eat and...]

Oh no! It's a promise of marriage!

【...】

Time seems to have sped up; another ten years have passed in a flash.

You sat cross-legged in your cave, your spiritual energy surging around you. Then, at a certain moment, the previously violent spiritual pressure suddenly subsided, transforming into a deep, dark blue.

【"Phew~"

You exhaled a long breath, then slowly opened your eyes, the golden halo in your pupils brightening even more.

Second job advancement completed!

[Logically speaking, given your aptitude of possessing two spiritual roots, even with ample resources, each of your first three transformations would take approximately twenty years.]

[Each of the three intermediate transformations adds ten years, and the three advanced transformations add another ten years.]

[By analogy, even under ideal conditions of abundant resources and undivided focus during cultivation, a person with inferior dual spiritual roots would need approximately three hundred years of arduous effort to complete the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Core.]

[But you, in less than ten years, advanced to the next level.]

[Part of the reason, of course, is the two Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Gu that Xiao Fanzi sent nine years ago.]

[Thinking back, that kid was so upset when he caught you with Liu Guanzhi.]

The two were on the verge of a fight, but after your persuasion, Lin Bufan reluctantly uttered a resentful remark:

[Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river! Who will ultimately belong to my senior sister remains to be seen!]

After saying that, he left you with a figure that was both incredibly dashing and utterly lonely.

Of course, these are not the main points.

[The Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Gu can indeed accelerate the cultivation process to the special realm of the ninth stage of the Golden Core, but it cannot achieve such an exaggerated effect. After all, you cannot endlessly exploit the Gu worm as you did in the last simulation.]

This is mainly thanks to Boss Liu's methods; his research on Gu worms has indeed reached a pinnacle.

[He observed the Gu worms within your body for only six months, then reverse-engineered and created Gu worms with similar effects. It was thanks to these "consumables" he provided that you were able to recklessly devote yourself to arduous seclusion and cultivation.]

[Furthermore, the constant consumption of aphrodisiac energy during dual cultivation has propelled your progress so rapidly.]

You slowly got up and stretched comfortably.

These past ten years have truly been the most carefree period of your cultivation journey.

[She doesn't need to worry about resources or scheme against human nature; she can simply be a beautiful young woman who only knows how to cultivate.]

Old Liu has already arranged everything for you!

The only pity is that the cultivation method he gave you is not suitable for you, and he has no information whatsoever about the cultivation method you mainly practiced in your previous life.

However, one of the secret techniques is quite to your liking, called—Hidden Edge.

[Perhaps a more accurate description would be: the art of sword cultivation!]

[Cultivators can continuously nurture and store sword intent within their bodies; the longer the time, the stronger the sword intent becomes. This move is basically aimed at defeating enemies of higher levels.]

[And you, with your simulator, are a perfect match for this secret art.]

With your profound swordsmanship, you've mastered this secret technique in just a few years.

As for the Mirror Flower Water Moon movement technique, you've yet to find a way to break through it.

[During your last casual conversation with Lin Bufan, you subtly inquired about this, and Lin Bufan's answer was that reaching the Golden Core stage is a prerequisite for mastering this secret technique.]

To this, you can only sigh in your heart:

[As expected of something created by the chosen one, the old man; it's truly high-end.]

"Qingqing, once you're ready, we can set off."

A familiar, cool voice rang out outside the cave.

The thoughtful look in your eyes vanished quickly, replaced by a bright smile.

"Okay, my husband~"
